thank the many friends who so kindly
assisted in the last sad rites of their
beloved deceased sister, Lena Heres.
A. H. Baker was through the north
ern part of the county Monday and
feels much more encouraged than be-
fore the trip. He says wheat is some
better than expected, corn is looking
tiptop and the farmers are making
arrangements to put every possible
acre into wheat this fall and wheat
land is in demand.

acres of wheat which he says viii make
him plenty of bread and seed. He has

Great Bend did herself proud this
year in the way of celebration.
Plenty of good entertainment was
furnished and an immense crowd was
present to take it in. Everything

The Good Mans Illustration.

A we'll known minister succeeded in
so shocking his congregation few
nights ago that several of the ladies
tainted outright, says the Louisville
Post, while two or three had to be
carried bodily from the church and
resuscitated in the fresh air. The
preacher was expatiating upon the
merits or dement's of Solomon, as the
case may have been, when he came to
the place where Solomon began taking
unto himself his 800 wives. ''Solo-
mon" said the holy man, lifting his
hands above his head and gazing
sorrowfuliy at the roof of the church.
Solomon was, my dear friends-Solo-
mon was-he was a regular Billy
Breckenridge sort of man." just
there he paused. There was an awed
hush, followed by a smothered groan
that came from the center of the
church. The preacher tried to correct
himself, but it was too late, and his
apology was almost as bad as the
original remark, His sermon closed
almost Immediately.

Pullman employees are applying, as
individuals, for their old positions.
No rioting in Chicago today.
This would indicate that the strike

From "Bill Dalton. Esq"
!. H. Daniels was down to the Bend,
Monday. on business.
Doctor Bennifel is quite dude since
he bought a half interest in our drug
store.
If the bridge is not soon repaired,
and the freight trains set in motion,
what will the boys do for fish bait?
DR.. P. H. Willis, owing to dull times
and the strike, went out to help his
neighbor, Cooper, il Re harvest field.
Most of the farmers about the Rock

NOTES FROM OUR NE1GHBoRs.
ELLINWooD.

From the Advocate.
Who is asked the most questions
during the strike, the railroad agent or
the postmaster?
A man seldom ever makes a resolu-
ton to do better until retribiution
forces him to it.
When was there a prisoner in the
city jail? 1t has been so long we can't
remember when.
An Adam and Eve apparel would be
about the proper thing for this sort of
weather, don't you think?
Apples are also very plentiful crop
in this locality this year. Farmer
Christensen says he will have 900
bushels this year.
The Bank of Ellinwood expect to be
in their new building by August Ist.
They viii perhaps put in a tile floor
and as fine fixtures as any bank in the
state.
II there IS another labor union. Oh
organization of any kind that feels dis
posed to strike, we hope they viii get
at it at once, while the country is in
the business.

THERE is probably not class of hus-
bands who consult their wives more
regularly in albimportant business mat
ters than the Germans. When it comes
to final decision in any big trade or
enterprise, the wife is asked her opin-
ion, and backed by that opinion the
husband goes forth and crrrles out the
plans agreed upon. Herein lies the
reason why the Germans almost to a
man are opposed to woman suffrage.
1t is because their wives are opposed
to it.-Alma Signal.

THE most important lesson for boy
to learn and learn young, is to be self
reliant. The world owes you a living
if you earn it. There are roads open
that lead TO wealth, competence and
responsibility, for trustworthy boys and
young men. The world is ever ready
to extend helping hand to the youth
who is struggling to reach the sunny
level in an honest and legitimate way.
There is no place in the universe where
a drone and habitual idler finds well
come among men of industry and
business habits.-Garden City Sentinel.

sentatives of Barton, Stafford and Rice
counties, as state central committee
man fore this judicial district. This
was proper recognition of one of the

trict. Franks judgment is always
good, his zeal untiring, and his knowl-
edge of political affairs broad and re-

The Diamond Pendant.

The doctor made visit of two or
three days to the city last week, and,
as usual. brought back to the village
many shrewd observations on men
and things. A passing face, a chance
colloquy with fellow passen-
ger, opens to his keen insight
glimpses of human tragedies and
comedies.
81 went one day while 1 was in
New York" he said, across the
ferry to Hoboken with the son of a
friend; a manly, earnest young fell
low who has the strength to make
something noble out of life, and
means to do it. He bowed to young
girl who passed, dazzling creature
of blue eyes and rose-tinted cheeks
and pearly teeth. His face Redeemed,
and he laughed consciously.
A man would like to see that
face every morning across the table,
eh, doctorT he said.
''We took a local train, and he sat
beside me and talked of his plans for
the future.
g I think there is no doubt that
you will do good work in life, Harry
I said, if you don't handcuff your
self at the outset.
He looked at me inquiringly.
'How could l make a prisoner of my
self? And why should I be such a
fooi?'
Tt was remarkable coincidence,
but just at that moment two women
took the seat before US. One had
pink cheeks, and radiant eyes, and
golden hair. They continued their
conversation in such loud tones that
we could not choose but hear.
g oh, let me alone for managing
mani said the pretty girl. Now,
there is my husband. There was a
diamond pendant at Finch's that I
set my heart on. I told John about
it. He said he couldn't afford it.
He was brutally frank. He said:
Glow can clerk with salary Of
two thousand dollars give fine hun
bred for a pendant? House rent,
food, fuel, cloth8 and the baby.
All costly things, and necessary
thingsP'
" But wouldn't be joked out of it.
7 told him seriously that it was a
shame, that belonging as we did to
two good old Knickerbocker fami-
lies, hadn't single diamond. Then
I cried. He looked worried and tried
to joke it off.
g ''Not this year, Jenny" he
said. ''We'll hope for fortune to
fall to US next year" Well, what
do you think I did? I went to
Finch's and ordered the pendant to
be sent home. Twill you charge it?"
I said. My husband has other ex-
penditures to meet this year, but in
January or early next year he'll set
tie for it." They know John and his
family so well, that they said they
would gladly do it. That was yes
terday. I wore it down to dinner.
You ought to have seen Johns white
facet
e Jenny he said, you could
not"
Il could and l did," l said,
laughing and clapping my hands.
He was very quiet. 1 must
request that you return it to Finch
tomorrow. l cannot buy it for you, p"
he said.
q ''Oh, that is impossibleP' I
cried. 'Finch never takes back
goods. Never!'
80 she giggled, that is the way
1 settled him. Let me alone for man
aging mani p"
The doctor said Harry looked
grave as he heard this, and did not
speak for long time. Then as we
parted at the station he shook hands
with me, laughing. I understand,
doctor, he said. III look below the
pretty face. III surely not hand
cuff myself in that way at the out
set. youths Companion.

THE selection of Hon. j. S. Richard
son of Wichita as chairman of the dem
ocratic state central committee was a
wise one and recognition of enc of
the brightest and most jealous young
democratic workers i'll the state. He

BLAINE AND THE DRUMMER.
Teld BY Napoleon Sarony, New York's
Leading Photographer.

A tlsrughtful, rather distinguish
"a looking man was sitting in the
dressing room of my studio, one
morning, while my assistant was
getting the studio ready to receive
him. He sat In a low arm chair,
with his aead upon his hand, his
characteristic attitude. Presently
his reflections were interrupted by
sprueely dressed young drummer.
The latter hustled into the room,
rammed his hands into his pockets,
and proceeded TO inspect the pictures
on the wall Growing tired of that
he turned his attention to the silent
man sitting in the low armchair.
Now a first class drummer will &C
cost any stranger with the most
suave lack of ceremony.
"You next, friend?" he asked,
just as he would ask the question in
barber shop. Friend replied
very gently in the affirmative.
"S'pose I'll have to wait till you
get your own 'phiz' immortalized,
remarked the drummer. Then he
produced cigar, bit off the end, and
searched his pockets for match.
Got a light? Have smoker
The stranger politely declined the
proffered cigar, but rendered the
N atch.
The the drummer bleated on, al
lowing the stranger time only for ar
occasional monosyliabic remark. II

And just then my assistant ap
