great rate. 1t has been so long since

wells at the Fair Grounds there is the
Neosho river with 20 feet of water i'm

in their usual hospitable, double listed
way.

mates that Allen county will have
500. 900 worth of flax seed and from
half million to million bushels of
surplus corn. Upon the whole
Charles is feeling pretty good even
with the prospect ahead of him of
being heaved out of office by Pop

circus make you forget that the
Madam Fry Concert Co., is to be at
the Opera House tomorrow evening,
and that they will be assisted by Miss
Maude Richards and Miss Clara
| Welch. The entertainment will
probably be the best we will have
here this season.
There were two bad mishaps at
Moran Wednesday. A running horse
fell and its rider, an Oklahoma boy,
was so badly hurt that at first it was
feared that he would die, but he is
now better. And one of the contest.

The McCook Post banner which was
sent back to Boston to be finished,
has been received back again with
the Seal of the State of Kansas, and
the name, number and location of the

how well off they are till they go
somewhere. We went to Lawrence
last Saturday and from Garnett on
we did not see a green field of corn.
The grass was burning in a number
of places along the railroad. And at

shade trees are actually dying for lack
of water. Surely goodness and mercy
have been showered upon Allen cOun-
ty this year.
Either the Japs are licking the
stuffin' out of the Chinese, or else
they have a monopoly in reporting the
news. There was battle the other
day in which the Chinese lost 1000
and the Japanese only 20. But sup
pose you do kill Thousand China
men: That is as if you dipped a
bucket of water out of tho NeOshO
river. The gun powder will all run

killed to really amount to anything.
