ELLINWoOD.


KLLNwoOD.
From ths Advocate.
BoRN-To II. and Mrs. Louis Sch
aeffer on the 18th inst, boy
The warm weather has loaded uI
the street corners again with loafers.
Business is getting better all owe
the county, and Ellinwood is not will
out her share of the increase.
Most OF the young men who have
been attending college in Great BEND
from this vicinity have quit to engage
in spring farm work.
If some people would exert them
selves as much in finding work as they
do to keep from finding it they could
make pretty good living.
Frank Petz is erecting a dwelling
on his lots in the southeast part OF
the city. A few more of the same kind
would not come amiss just at present.
The Z. of P. lodge will give their reg
ular annual ball in this city on Mon
day evening, April Is. Extensive prep
arations are being made to have a
grand time.
There is man in Hoisiugton whose
name will represent the condition of
every man who sees the lovely prair-
les of Kansas this spring. His names is
Wantland.
The Heizer Creamery Co. have
added feed mill to their institution.
This seems to us to be quite a good
idea. What is the matter with ouI
creamery trying this experiment.
The greater part of our support. by
far, comes from the Germans. We
have always found them strictly hon.
est and a pleasant class of individuals
to do business with. Ellinwood owes
its prosperity to the industrious Ger
mans that live in this community.
With warm weather the tramps be.
gin to put in their appearance. Ellin-
wood has for the past two or three
years, had more than her share of these
unwelcome pests owing probably to
the leniency with which they have
been treated by our city authorities
We have.no desire to be unjust to any,
one, but we would like to see them
treated with sufficient severeness to
cause them to seek other quarters. 1t
must be remembered that two-thirds
of the crimes committed during the
past year were done by tramps. We
can preclude the possibility of any
crimes being committed by tramps by
excluding them from this city.
PAWNEE ROCK

quaintance of W. NJ. Zieber.
The Great Bend gentleman that
comes to Pawnee Rock ito see his best
girl, should make better calculation
on the time of the train than he did
last Sunday evening. May not be able

time, but then the grounds handy,
isn't it?
