Sumner county was visited by a
good rain Sunday night, which was
heaviest in the north part of the
county. Monday night the south
part of the county was the recipient
Of an additional downpour and Tues
day night the whole county was Wis
tied by soaking rain. The hot, dry
weather Of last week was very hard
on corn and the rains this week have
been Of great benefit. The chinch
bugs are pretty numerous, but the
farmers are giving Prof. Shows ex-
terminating remedy pretty fair
trial and the prospect is in nowise
discouraging for big crop Of corn.
The fields are very clean and that Is
a great point In favor Of the crop.

after their sheriff, ]. E. Nipp, for CIV
ing too much liberty to a convicted
murderer, one A. W. Patterson, for
merly a hotel keeper in Winfield.

torney made application to the su-
preme court for an order requiring
Nipp to turn the prisoner over to the
warden of the penitentiary for safe
keeping. The court made an order
that the sheriff eenflne his prisoner
the same as any other person convict
ed OF felony, and continued the fur
lie. Ia. i. aatil julyj.

The great jewelry and art establishment Of
NJ. German on South Spring street. between
Third and Fourth, is rapidly assuming shape,
and hundreds Of people stop daily to admire
the beautiful goods which are dis played in the
show windows. These, however, give but a
faint conception Of the wealth and vari-
ETY. of artistic and valuable articles
which ere exposed for sale within.
This Establishment will be a Godsend to that
numerous class of citizens who desire to select
some artistic piece of jewelry or work of art,
either for themselves or as a present. and who,
while having little knowledge on the subject
themselves, desire to be sure that what they
buy Is exactly as represented, and that they
axe not being charged an exorbitant price be-
cause of their lack Of technical knowledge.
1t is generally understood that in the average
jewelry store prices are more or less elastic. de-
pending to great extent on the knowledge or
acumen of the buyer. This is not the case at
Germans, where child may buy as advan-
tageously a mal who knows the ropes" A
fixed and moderate profit is charged on each
article.

identify him ,elf with Los Angeles 1t is easy

broad enough to include all incomes OF

income tax in favor of one applying only
to corporations and SUGGESTIONS. 1t can
be confidently announced that the tax
