| SCHOOL mousse Ill DlSUIlcU 90 WAS 10 W
sold at public auction and Nc. sent
a man there with instructions to buy
it as cheaply as possible but to bid as
high as $50. Unnecessary. When the
bidding was about to commence the
intelligent agent arose and said, 81
have authority to follow you fellows
up to $50. Now if any of you want to
bid more than that, blaze away!'
Nobody wanted to blaze and so Mr.
McCutchan has $50 school house on
his hands.
John S. Martin paid a man $50
about two weeks ago to come out from
Chicago, and shoe his horse, Jay Leon
ard and he thinks the money was
well spent. A man who knows less
about horses than Mr.. Martin would
not have paid that price. And man
who didn t know all about shOeing a
horse could not have earned it. a
man who can do just one thing better
than anybody else can do it, if it is
nothing more than shOeing a horse,
can get his own price for doing it and
is never out of a job.
Mr.. w. H. Clark brought to this
Office the other day some stalks OF
corn grown on his place just south OF
town that certainly do not look as il
they had suffered from the drOuth.
| They were green from bottom to top
and were loaded with heavy, we'll
| filled ears. The land on which they
were grown is no better than any
in this vicinity, and the fine yield
must be due to thorough and intelli-
gent cultivation.
Frank Olmstead, of Hot Springs,
Ark, was in town Monday on his way
to visit his folks in Usage township.
Frank left home a little over three
years ago with no capital except a
good head and good moral backbone
and willing hands. He now owns
the largest fancy grocery store in the
city of Hot Springs and does BUSH
ness that justifies him in employing
six men besides himself. Some peO-
pie have great "luck."

! w. \. Cummings, +. +. Smith and
Frank Nigh were among lola visitors
to Kansas City this week. Sheriff
| Hobart went along to take care of the
gang, but he gave it up and came

they were travelling too fast for an old
man like him. n
The Republican campaign in this
State will begin next Thursday
on which day monster meetings will
be held in each of the several Con-
gressional districts. The meeting
! for the Second district will be held in
Fit. Scott and that for the third at
Chanute, both being quite convenient
for us.
John 5. Martin was in town Mon
day on his way home to Moran from
Emporia where he has been for the
last month, training four of his fast
| horses. He has hired a man to run
| his farm the rest OF the year and eX-
poets to bring his family TO lola next
week to give his children the benefit
of our schools.
Yates Center Democrat: Henry

posite the WOOdsOn National Bank,
in few days. 1t will be 25xS0 feet,

l.. H. Hartman favOrs us with a
copy of the Superior (Wis.) Telegram
| the particular feature of which is a
cartoon representing donkey labeled
''52nd Congress-" enclosed in glass
case labelled "Billion dollar Con-
gress." The donkey doesn't give any
signs of throwing stones.
John Arnett brought us in some
samples of corn from the farm of Mrs.
Whitney, east of Humboldt, which he
has now rented, which is as fine as
any we ever saw. The ears are well
filled, and Mr. Arnett thinks the yield
cannot be less than so bushels pei
acre.
ayes, it is fine rain" remarked a
farmer Tuesday, "but the trou bic is
when it once begins raining in Kansas
it never knows when to quit, and ]
am afraid it will keep ON till it rOts
our corn"i Some men would kick il
they were going to be hung.
Mrs. Agnes Scott and daughter,
Miss Alice, started Monday to Chicago
where they expect to make their home
in future. They leave many warm
friends in lola who will always be
glad to welcome them back.
The weather is little warm JUS
now for heating stoves; but it will coo
off after awhile. And when it does
you will find a larger line of popular
heaters at Bartels than anywhere else
in the county.
