l
Ciaud McCarty and Merritt BeesOn
left for Salina last Tuesday morning to
attend military school. Paul Evans
left for the same school on Wednesday.
Clsud and Paul have been attending
school for some time. All the lovers OF
music, as we'll as Beeson's Orchestra,
will miss Merritt's fine cOrnet playing.
He is conceded by competent Judges to
be the finest cOrnet player in western
Kansas. Having only just arrived at
the age of Is years, with fair chances, he
will be noted player some day.
Mr.. P. H. Young left last week for a
holiday visit IN central Illinois. His
friends say this is the sixth trip he has
made to that part, and they hope the
young lady will listen to the dictates of
reason and her own better judgment and
be persuaded to come back with him.
For our part we cannot understand why
he is not satisfied to make his selection
from among our home grown alfalfa fed
girls rather than the c0rn-fed Illinois
misses. We have plenty of them in good
working order fully aceiimated, and it
seems entirely unnecessary to import
from outside markets, thereby discourage
ing infant industries at home while we
have SO much raw material going to
waste.
Major H. B. VanVoorhis was in the
city Monday enroute for the wolf hunt.
He had in his pack of hounds one pecu-
liar looking animal which somewhat re-
sembles greyhound, but is in fact, a
Russian wolfhound. Although about
the size Of a grown greyhound, she is
only one year old, but already runs as
swiftly as grown up greyhound and will
run in front of the chase with the best of
them. This and two grown up animals
of the same breed. were imported from
Russia. and even from the kennels of
the Car himself. The grown up dog of
this specie weighs about 140 pounds
when in running order. They combine
great strength and courage with high
speed and unwearying endurance, and
are used in Russia to catch and kill the
fierce, man eating Siberian wolves. The
yearling we saw has long, slender
head, more slender in fact than the neck
which is also long. and its expression and
movements remind one of a weazel.
The Major intends to breed them with a
view of DISCRIMINATING the wolves from
the plains Of Western Kansas.
The full dress party, held at McCarty's
Rink New Years night, was big sue
cess in every respect. The attendance
was very large, and the spirit of joy
reigned unconfined, and everybody was
agreeable to every other person. Such a
spirit brightens, broadens. and unifies
any gathering of refined and pleasant
people. The programe of dances was
arranged to suit the most fastidicus, as
well as the less practiced dancers. Spec
ial praise should be accorded to the
graceful and bewiIdering evolutions of
the Grand March, and the mastery man
uer in which Mr.. Ed. Stubs marshalled
his forces and guided their movements,
to express unity in amazing variety, won
the plaudit of every spectator. The sup
per supplied by the ladies for the small
price of twenty five cents, was truly
banquet, feast fit for king. and the
pleasant and inviting manner in which
the viands were served, announced to all
that living geniuses of the culinary art
had charge of that department. The
music by Beeson's Orchestra was such
as to make the most sedate wish to dance,
and SO frightened everyone by pleasant
thoughts of the New Year, that long
faces became round. and morose dispo-
sitiOns threw off dull care and became
happy. OF course the ladies who man.
aged the affair deserve all the credit, and
the gentlemen willingly grant it, but it
remains to be said that back of the ladies
stood big harted meu, who.were de-
termlned it should be browning sue
cess, and they all rejoice together. The
impression was made on all present that
more Of such parties would prove q
blessing to the community. in Frightening
the lives of the people, and instilling
sweet and gentle thoughts into their
minds.
