is so far different from the ordinary

common land office kind, but Of that
sort that builds up and runs smelters,

Another pleasing feature is the ad-
vertising columns. They are so well

reading from usually dry material.

spring wagons and buggies literally by
the hundred streaming into lola. We
remember distinctly,-and it was less
than 20 years agO-when the only
top vehicles in the whole north half
of Allen county were the NOrthrup
family carriage and one buggy in
Brubaker's livery barn. And when
r. B. Stevenson's father got a phae-
ton, everybody in town commented
on it, and the boys followed it as if it
were circus wagon. One of our cor
respondents notes this week the pur-
chase Of the fourth Irvine binder in
one little neighbOrhOOd and adds,
there are more to follow" How
any one who has lived in Allen coun-
~ twenty years and can compare the
condition of the farmers then and
now, can still believe that they have
been getting poorer every year, passes

done, and to tell how much better
they would have managed it if they
had been there.
Il have noticed" we heard an old
Kansan say the other day, "that as
long as it rains in Kansas it keeps on
raining, and we never have a drOuth
till it stops" That's a fact,n said
his friend, land have always noticed
that just as sure as it stops raining at
the beginning of the drouth it begins
at the end" And they dismissed the
subject, mutually satisfied that they
had got the Kansas climate down
fine.
The dedication of the A. NJ. Z.
church last Sunday was an occasion
of much Interest to all of our Afro
American population. In the after
noon great many white people at
tended the service in the opera house,
and were rewarded by splendid SER
mon by Bishop Tanner. There was
nothing pretentious or OratOrical
about it, but it was plain, direct and
simple. and went straight to the
heart of the hearers. The singing at
this meeting deserves special mention
also, as it was highly ereditable to
the choir.
After many months of helplessness
and pain, during which time she was
nursed with unfailing gentleness and
care by her husband, Mrs. a bbie
Warren, wife of Gabriel Warren, died
last Saturday, in the 10th year of her
age. She was born in Rutherford
county, Tenn, in 1926, and was a
slave more than half her life. But
she was a good woman and she goes
to her reward, The funeral services
were held at the A N. E. church on
Monday, Rev. William Hawkins
officiating, and were largely attended
by the sympathizing friends of the
aged husband.
Miss Frances Mcclure received no.
t;ce few days ago that she had been
unanimously chosen TO the chair of
music in the Dickinson County High
school. Of the three county high
schools in Kansas, this is regarded as
the one of the highest grade, and Miss
Mcclure is fortunate in her election to
place on its faculty The school
is not less fortunate in securing the
services of one who is so thoroughly
competent and so well equipped in
every way to do the work. The lola
friends of Miss Mcclure are the only
ones to whom the new arrangement
will occasion any regret, and they
will find it hard to fill her place dur
ing the months of her absence.

RALEIGH MARKET.
HUBBARD BROS. COTTON LE1'TEl

HUBBARD BROS. COTTON LETTER.
New York, May 21.-(SpeciaD The
feature of the market to-day has been
The relatively larger supply of August
contracts, at the comparatively lower
limits, as compared with the new crop
delivery, with limited demand which
has resulted in decline from yester-
day Another curious feature was that
on the basis of last evenings quota
tions, cotton could be bought in Liver
pool and shipped to New York at loss
of from Is to 20 points. Nevertheless,
the weakness in the market is merely
thought to be the selling of some weak
long cotton, and not the main holdings
upon this basis. Commission houses
do not advise sales of summer positions
upon the rains in the Atlantic States,
which have broken the drought in that
section of the cotton belt AS a whole,
crop adyices have seldom been OF bet
ter character than at the present time,
and everything now points to large
crop, but of course the crop has yet
to pass through critical periods.
Another Northern mill has closed
down indefinitely. This time in Maine,
which rather shows there is no improve
ment in trade as hoped for before the
time. Under the pressure of long
liquiohting, the market closed barely
steady at the lowest prices of the day.
Our local traders do not believe that
the strongly held cotton has been sold
and hold to the opinion that the de
cline was a temporary reaction to pre-
vent the imports of cotton from Liv-
ersool. HUBBARD BROS II co.

Captain e. Moss, who recently re-
turned to London from the Transvaal,
tells this story of the monkeys who
work for him in the mines: II have
twenty-four monkeys" said he, "em-
ployed about my mines. They do the
work Of seven able-bodied men, and 1t
is no reflection upon the human la
borers to say that they do class Of
work a man cannot do as well as they.
In many instances they lend valuable
aid where a man is useless. They
gather up the small pieces Of quartz
that would be passed unnoticed by the
workingman, and pile them up in little
heaps that can easily be gathered up
in shovel and be thrown in the mill.
They are exceedingly adept at catching
the little particles, and their sharp eyes
never escape the very things that the
human eye would pass over When l
went digging gold 1 had two monkeys
that were exceedingly interesting pets.
They were constantly following me
dDOuL Lu6 ulu6S, anu OuC uay nObASOd
that they were busily engaged in gath
ering up little bits of quartz and put
ting them in piles. They seemed to en-
joy the labor very much, and would go
to the mines every morning, and work
there during the day. 1t did not take
me long to learn their value as laborers,
and decided to procure more. So
Immediately procured a number, and
now have two dozen working daily in
and about the mines. 1t is exceedingly
interesting to watch my two pet mon
keys teach the new ones how to work
and still stranger to see how the new
corners take to it. They work just as
they please, sometimes going down in
to the mines when they have clearedul
all the debris on the outside. They live
and work together without quarrellinG
any more than men do. They are quite
methodical in their habits, and go t
work and finish up In the same manner
as human beings would do under sim
| liar circumstances.
