A. G. Eyth, the well known
creamery man of Enterprise, has re-
,eivcd the highest score for butter
shown by Kansas at the recent Ma
tional Dairy association meeting at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It was rated
96 points, the highest being 97.S
which was given to a Minnesota firm.
Mr.. Eyth is an expert and always
leads the procession.
1t is source Of great gratiiica-
tion to know that whatever ducats a
man gets in this world will be de-
Quoted from his account in the world
to come. Every dollar he spends in
charity will be doubled, and every
dime he squanders in progressive
euchre parties and dances will con-
demn him to unglory for three years
for each and every oiYense.
There is in circulation a good,
true story Of young bride the other
day, who, when the assessor called,
showed him everything in the house,
told him the exact value OF the furni-
ture, priced the piano at Its full cost,
told him what her husbands horse
could be sold for, and gave away the
entire snap from soda to hook. What
harp she will get, to be sure. And
her harp will be as full Of jewels as .
new laid egg is Of soft-boiled decom.
position.
Mcpherson Freeman: We observe
from Abilene papers that our old
friend fellow citizen, J. N. VanNord-
strand who SO faithfully represented
Mcpherson county In the Legislature
a few years ago, was the recent chair
man Of the Republican county conyen-
tion Of Dickinson county. We are
glad the boys have "dscovered' John
for he is true blue, In adversity as
well as prosperity, a Republican who
has never faltcred in his fealty to his
party or his friends, and deserves all
the honors that they can bestow
The many friends Of J. +. Kerr,
formerly Rock Island agent here, will
be interested in this from the Pawnee
City, Neb., Press. ~. F. Kerr Is an
other Of Pawnee's lucky people. Mr..
Kerr informed a Press reporter that
he had just received word that mine
in which he held fifty shares had made
a big raise. The mineln question Is
the Mineral Point In Gunnison county,
Col. 1t has been considered worth
less piece OF property, but lately
big strike Of pay ore was made and
the shares arose to premium i'm
mediately."
Late this afternoon one OF the
most magnificent trains ever seen in
the west passed through Abilene over
The Union Pacific. II was the Penn
sylvania railroads Golden Gate Spe-
,ial" en- route from New York to San
Francisco. II left Kansas City at l
p. m. The train is composed Of five
coaches composite, diner, compart-
ment, drawing room sleeper and OBJ
cars. 1t Is lighted by cleo
tricity and is resplendent and elegant
throughout. A lot Of high muck-a-
mucks who are too proud to ride in
common trains are enjoying the lux
uries.
"A subscriber writes to the RE-
rLEcToR criticizing the the county
high school faculty for interfering
with the students attending dances.
We have no wish to awaken any con-
troyersy but it seems to us that
supt. Cook is entirely right in his
action. He does not forbid the
students dancing but insists that the
names Of those who do shall be re-
ported to their parents. 1t must be
remembered that the high school boys
and girls are away from home and it
is Prof. Cooks duty to look after
them. He is doing both the students
and their parents kindness in exer-
cising a careful watchfulness over the
pupils out of as well as in school
hours.
