There was an old.time roundup
of Baxter whist players at the cosy
home of JIG. Naylor Thursday
evening and although complete
surprise to Mr.. Naylor It was one of
the most enjoyable whist parties OF
the season. And what can be
more lovely than a lot of scientific
whist players corraled in a snug
parlor with a jolly host supplying
them with all that heart could wish
for in the way of Kansas refresh
mentsr Mrs. Naylor, Mrs. Russell
Davis aud Misses Myrtle and Pearl
Naylor prepared an elegant layout
in the dining room and J.C.
brought out his private cough
mixture (the usual Kansas pre-
scription), and altogether It was
really and truly a beautiful affair.
Among those present were Capt.
N. H. Eastman, Col. ]. N. Cooper,
Hon. Graham Hornor, Hon. 8. E.
Cheeseman, Rev. Chas. Willis,
Signor H. G. Maute, DR.. W. E. Price,
Prof. II. W. Martin, Commodore
Russell Davis and Deacon c. W.
Daniels. II is impossible to say
where the whist clubs will
rendezvous next, but wherever they
light they leave a hot spot and
parties having desirable accommo-
dations will do well to look out.

,e amateurs from Cow Skin

The amateurs from Cow Skin
prairie gave a most dammable
rendition of most execrable
translation of Trilby at the opera
house Monday night. 1t was
Hamlet with Hamlet left out, or
Trilby without the feet, or the nude
without the altogether. Any
Short Creek third grade class
could have put up a better
performance on weeks notice and
with Col Weldy s.Svenghali and
Chicks sister as Trilby. the
Muskrat Whist club could play all
around the pumpkins huskers who
gulled our people Monday night.
The audience was quite large and
very appreciative. They shed
tears at the comical parts and
roared with delight at the death
scenes. Those who had never read
Trilby were glad when it was over
and those who were familiar with
the play retained their seats some
FIVE minutes after the curtain fell
in the last act. In order to protect
innocent people from such
impositions as this last we would
recommend the appointment of
public censors whose duty it would
be to classify all shows and put
them in the grade they belong.
Mac Gill, W. E. Donaldson and
Tom Ryon would be the proper
persons to act as such committee
until others could be appointed
officially. Our opera house is a
good one, our people are play-goers
and we are entitled to higher
grade of entertainments. When
transformers are to occupy the
stage let the people know it and
govern themselves accordingly.

WE DON'T THINK

Ed. Hook, editor of the Marion
Record, takes Governor Morrill, to
task for declaring that prohibition
in Kansas is a failure. He goes on
to say that Governor Morrill, is
talking Mt random when he says
there are 1900 joints In Kansas and
intimates that il is not 30.
OF course we don't know about
other portions of tile state, but we
do know that we have been
reliably informed that there are at
least forty full-fledged joints in
Cherokee county, and If the
balance of the state shows up as
many in proportion to population
a nd area il would seem that Gov.
Morrills estimate of 1900 is entirely
too low.
Again, while Mr.. Hoch is
criticising Governor Morrill, It
must be taken into consideration
that there may be spirit of petty
jealousy existing under Mr.. Hoch's
waistcoat. Mr.. Hoch, II will be
remembered, wanted to be
governor, and If he had been
nominated and elected II is fair to
presume that he would have made
as great a failure of enforcing the
prohibitory law as has Governor
Morrill,.
The prohibitory law is law
with which a majority of the
people are not in sympathy. and
because of this fact its enforcement
is next to impossible.
OF course, once in a while a
jointist is arrested, convicted and
sent to Jail, but it is at the expense
of the taxpayers, and the taxpayers
are not going to clamor very loudly
for the enforcement of law which
will make their already heavy
burdens heavier.
Mr.. Hoch is great and very
important man in Kansas, but he
should soak his head.

the only ones entitled to practice
medicine and surgery in the state

departments, for compensation;
unless they are graduates from a
respectable school of the same, or
hold a certificate of qualification
from state or county medical
society. In compliance with this
decision:
You az county health officer of
your county, will at the earliest
possible moment make a list of
those who are practicing in your
county who are not entitled to do
so, and present the same to your
county attorney, with a complaint
against each aud every one ofthem
that he may proceed at once
against them for violation of this
law. Please acknowledge the
receipt of this notice and oblige.
Yours very truly.
