County Commissioners.

The board of county commissioners
were in session Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday making the tax levy for
following year and transacting laid
over business from the July session.
The following levy for county purposes
was made:
Sinking fund, one-fourth mill.
Poor fund, One-balf mill.
General fund, Z mills.
Interest on bonds, Z mills.
This is higher than the last levy, but
as the valuation was cut down about
$4,000 it was found necessary to in
crease the levy.
Cooks addition to the city OF Medi-
cine Lodge, owned by l.. j. Clarke, was
vacated.
A bounty of 5 cents per scalp was
allowed on rabbits. This order is only
to be in force four months.
J. w. Potes' bond as county treasurer
was approved on the opinion of legal
counsel that each bondsman is liable
for every dollar he is worth. They had
limited themselves to stipulated sum.
The trustee of Mingona township
was ordered to re-advertise for bridge
over Cedar creek at the main crossing.
The sum of $3.50 was appropriated for
building this bridge.

Obituary.

Mrs. Sarah b. Custin, nee Kimmel
was born in Shelbyville, ILL.,. Decem
Der IL, 1864, and died July %. 1892. at
her home miles west of Nashville
She was married to Frank r. Custii
on September, %. 1887. The funeral
service was conducted by Rev. Osborn
pastor of the NJ. E. church, she being a
member of that church. She lived q
quiet Christian life; was a kind and
affectiOnate wife and mother. She
leaves husband and two small chill
dren, with hosts of other friends and re.
latives to mourn her departure.
Death has robbed you of your mother.
When you loved and cherished her;
1t was mother, yes, dear mother.
Who can help but shed tear2
Yes, you miss her! Oh you miss her
When you see her vacant chair,
But how sad the room without her,
For there is no mother there.
How you loved her, yes you loved her.
oh, no earnest tongue can tell,
Yes, the angels, they have called her
Up to heaven. there to dwell.
But be patient, for she is waiting
For her loved ones, over there,
And is singing with the angels
On that bright and golden shore. -

The Universal Opinion,

IOttawa Qll.) Journal, June 9. 1921
The verdict of the people who at
tended Walter l.. Mains circus yester-
day afternoon and evening, pronounce
it to be one of the best ring shows ever
given by any new aspirant for favors in
the sawdust arena. The crowd both
afternoon and evening was very large,
the applause frequent and loud. The
group of performing elephants was
good. The trained dog Shepherd, was
simply marvel. The Fish brothers
have no superiors as gymnastic artists.
The performing horse introduced by
Jos. Berries elected marked applause.
Other features worthy of personal men,
ton were the riding of Chas. Fish, the
acrobatic feats of the Reno brothers
and Walton and the two-horse act by
Cousins were productions of high char
acter. Walter l.. Mains circus is de-
serving of patronage on its merits.

Will Matthews entered normal this
week.
The interest is excellent considering
the hot weather.
DR.. Smith, of Sun City. came down
to attend the reunion.
Mr.. Frank LuthY, was visiting the
normal and friends last week.
The attendance has reached III and
more are coming IN every day.
Miss Arnold, who taught the Robin
son school last winter has enrolled.
Miss Elva Blick has been added to
the list of Medicine Lodge teachers.
A Barber County Normal would hard
ly look natural without Wallace and
Bonnell.
Mr.. Bonnell enters normal this week.
He has secured a months school near
Sharon.
Prof. StOwell has secured a good
school at Oberlin, Decatur county, in
the north part of the state.
Misses Edna Eek, Gertie Salisbury
and Katie Hento2, came over from
Sharon to attend the reunion.
All seem highly pleased with the con-
ductress, Mrs. Carson. The normal is
doing unusually good and earnest work.
Joseph Porter entered normal this
week. He has months school in the
Daugherty district, northeast ofSharon.
Miss Emma Hill spent the week Wis
iting the normal. She Will return soon
to her school at Emporia, where will
graduate this year.
Rev. w. A. Cain will deliver lecture
at the Court house, on tomorrow,
(Thursday,) evening, for the benefit of
the NOrmalites, but any others who
wish to attend will be welcome.
Allen Herr, court stenographer, came
IN to visit the Normal daring his Yaca-
ton. Before he had visited two days
he decided that it would be to his inter-
est to join, and so proceeded to reg
lister.
Among the interesting features are
the class in natural philosophy, the ex-
ercises in calisthenics, and the work in
school management and methods,
which is conducted successfully by diff
ferent teachers.
Messrs. Littell and Sheddy, members
of the Board of District No. 81, visited
the Normal with view of engaging q
teacher. Several other inquiries for
teachers haye been made of the County
Superintendent, and we have heard of a
half dozen or more districts where teach
ers have already been engaged. Our
best qualified teachers will soon all be
employed. School boards wishing one
of the better qualified ones, should give
the matter early attention.
The reunion was unusually we'll at
tended. Mr.. Cain delivered an ad-
dress of welcome, in which he descant-
ed at large on the prOfolic growth of
Kansas Cam and its headed qualities.
Mrs. Carson responded in a we'll re-
ceived, well-wOrded talk. This was
followed by toasts by Mr.. Aber ON the
school-marm, and T. A. McNeal on the
school master. Then came number OF
declarations, all better than usual, but
the Ride of Jennie McNeal,' by Miss
Blick, and Bessie" by Miss Eek, OF
Sharon, were especially well received
and we'll delivered. The chief defects
of the entertainment seemed to be
music and school masters.

Ut. McGrath's baby, we are glad to say, is
improving.
Our corn is all gone and other stuff is going
fast, which Is giving our farmers the blues.
When we take our wheat to Medicine Lodge
the buyers cry the freight is so high we cannot
give much more than enough to pay for thresh.
ing and hauling, and we haye to take what they
offer. How long are the people going to stand
this wholesale robbery? Let the Government
own the railroads and operate them at cost and
it would surprise us all at the low rates on
freight.
The citizens of this section heartily approve
of the county attorneys actions in the bridge
matter. and will remember him when it comes
to the polls and give HIM larger majority than
before.
Weunderstand that the treasurer of Sun City
at the time the bonds were voted for that
bridge, saysthere was only e, 900 of the g., 6O(

that Jerry is opposed to opening the strip
Jerry is ripping the republican party up the

Impotence and rottenness, hypocracy and

nlts them. believe he 10 the only man in
congress who has the courage to expose such
