The Second Quarterly Meeting Held at Clay

The Second Quarterly Meeting Held at Clay
Center.
The meeting of the Kansas Reform
Press Association at Clay Center June
5 and s was q very interesting and
reasonably well attended one. Presi-
dent Steinberger was in the chair.
The opening meeting was given up
to addresses of welcome and responses.
Ex-Railroad Commissioners w, ID. Vim
cent and Rev. A. BledsOe represented
the people of Clay Center, and Presi-
dent Steinberger and Secretary Naugle
responded for the association. An ad-
dress was delivered by ex-State Super
intendent H. N. Gaines, his subject
being "The Political Outlook for the
State Of Kansas"
After the transaction ofsome routine
business at the morning session, the
members listened to an address by
President Steinberger, which the AD-
vocATE had hoped to print in this is'
sue, but will have to pass it over for
the present. A. A. Stewart Of the
Manhattan Republic led a discussion
of "The Best Method of Conducting
Political Campaign" His remsrks
were particularly strong and sensible.
The matter of cooperating with other
parties in local affairs was discussed,
but such cooperation received little
encouragement, Judge Pattee Of the
Junction City Tribune spoke of "The
Political Boss" and w. E. Bush Of
the Mankato AdD0cate discussed the
coming national platform. The morn
ing session drifted into a free-for-all
discussion of various questions of in
terest to the press. These discussions
were generally participated in. Ex-
Congressman John Davis Of Junction
City and Albert Griffin of Manhattan
were by invitation given the floor, and
they favored the association with In.
teresting and instructive remarks,
AT the afternoon session the time
was largely occupied with business
matters. A large part of the afternoon
was spent in a discussion of the fol
lowing resolution which was intro
duced by II. n. Boyd of the BelleVille
Freeman:
WHEREAS, Political progress In Kansas de-
ponds so largely upon the work OF q Peoples
party State Central committee and
WHEREAS, The members Of the present com

Chairman John w. BrsidenthAl and Secretary
r. n. semple for their tireless energy, good
Judgment and honesty Of purpose In pushing
the work Of political education and orgAnizA

the unjust criticism heaped upon them.

Irwin Bros. handled a nice line Of bust
ness last week. Stockmen should call
and get acquainted with this firm when
on the market. They handle stock in a
way that will please anyone and are sure
to satisfy you.
Russell, Bowman & Co., Lawrence;
Owen Owens, Carbondale; j. Burke,
Rioevills, Iowa; Greenlief & Baker, Law
renee, and w. A. Gordon, Prairie City,
were shippers who consigned to the
Robert G. White Commission Com
pany one day last week.
Wright & Hannah had twenty. seven
loads of stock in one day last week.
This firms popularity is shown by the
number Of regular shippers who are
among its customers. Proctor & White,
Chanute, and J. r. Stewart, Funston,
we're in last week. Mr.. Hannah has
been on an extended trip to the East,
and it is safe to say he returns fully sat-
fed to make Kansas City his home.
The Chicago Live Stock Commission
Company has secured the services Of A.
L. Johns, who is one of the best-posted
sheep salesmen in the West. This de-
partment will in the future be looked

customers. Hatcher 4 Thiel made a
satisfactory sale of nine doubls-deck

tical stockman, 1t continues to gain favor
among these people. They employ none
but the best assistants, and cannot fail
to add to their already large and salts
factory list of customers.
The Lone Star Commission Company
handled fine lot of stock last week. 1t
sold seven cars for A. A. 10y, Colorado,
Tex, and eleven cars for Gage & Co.,
Wade, Tex. Thirteen cars came from
Beeville, Tex. 1t is not at all unusual
to find the Office of this firm filed with
stockmen who are customers. Charles
Davis, the genial assistant secretary, has
the reputation among ADVOCATE readers
Of being splendid entertainer.
Mcintosh & Peters have 1900 3 and
4-year.old Colorado steers for sale; 1900
of them are dehorned. These cattle are
we'll bred and will be sold in lots to suit
customers B. w. Blacklsr, Argentine,
formerly of Wabsunsee county, sold a
load Of cattle through this firm last
week. This new firm is headed by two
good stockmen. Mr.. Mcintosh is old in
the commission business. Mr.. Peters Is
rather new, but is getting onto the bust
ness quite rapidly.
The Charles Dixon Commission Com
pany sold three loads of cattle for NJ. G.
Fogerty, Junction City, at very salts
factory price. Mr.. Fogerty came to the
city with the impression that it would
pay to take his stock to Chicago, but he
sold here and made money by so doing,
which speaks we'll for this firm. P.

this firm had superior salesmen, to the

sion the resolution was unanimously

The statement contained In q Topeka

Is untrue. Very few had done so, and

The time and place for the mex

decided to convene at Abilene on the
evening Of August 4, which is the
evening before the State convention.
On motion of A. G. Psttee of the
Junction City Tribune the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
ResOlusd, That the thanks Of the association
be rendered the people Of Clay Center for the
very cordial welcome and generous hospital.
ity extended by them to this association. We
shall always remember our visit to Clay
Center as one Of the most pleasant we have
ever had. Especially do we thank Rev. A.
Bledsoe for his eloquent words OF welcome
and his untiring efforts to make our visit to
Clay Center one Of pleasure.
To say that the boys were pleased
with Clay Center and with the treat
ment accorded them by the hOspitsble
people Of that city would be putting the
case very mildly. Some cities which
the association has visited have more
attractions and points of interest, but
none have exhibited a more earnest
desire to make use Of everything at
their command to make the visit q
pleasant one. Nothing was omitted
that might make the heart of the
much-overworked newspaper man
glad. So far as the ADVOCATE repre-
sentative is concerned, he is glad he
visited Clay Center, pleased with the
treatment received, and he left with a
feeling that he would be glad to visit
this enterprising city again.

A LANDMARK GOING.
The Old Roberts Building Once a
Trading POST.

The destruction of the old two-story
frame building on Second street, just
east of where Emil Schmahl had his
meat market located for so long a
time, removes from the midst of the
buildings of this city the oldest land
mark known in the city. The build
ing is being torn down and taken just
across the river in Renville county
where George Brown, who is owner Of
the building, owns a farm, and where
he will re-erect the same into barn.
The building was erected by one Of
the most noted frontiersmen in the
west-Louis Roberts. He was ever
lastingly pressing to the frontier, hi
whole soul being wrapt up into trad
ing with the Indians, in which bust
ness he became immensely wealthy
He was the over of greater portion
of the townsite of st. Paul, and afte
him Robert street, St. Paul, was nam
ed. He left a large family and tn
latter only recently wound up fgh
over his real estate.
Louis Roberts erected the fran,
building in 1866 or 1866. It wa
erected out of native timber ant
was used solely as a trading post TO
the Indians. Here in the early day

BIRD AND CHICKEN.
They Become Friends in an Un-
usual Manner.

One day last spring, in purchasing
a lot of fowls from her marketman, a
lady in this city got one little bit of
chicken that was almost too small to
eat, and which made its escape through
the wires of the coop and began to
chirp and cry about the yard. The
lady made no effort to recapture the
the little thing, thinking it would be
better off running free about the place.
But it soon became evident that the
chick had been taken from parental
care and was totally unable to provide
for itself. Two whole days passed,
during which it neither ate nor drank,
though the lady tried every means in
her power to provide for its welfare.
The chicken simply peeped and droor-
ed till the lady gave up all efforts and
left the little thing to die, which no
doubt it would have done right speed
lily had it not been rescued in the fol-
lowing singular manner:
1t CHANGED that the lady has a pet
canary of which she is very fond, and
to which she devotes much care and
attention. For instance it is her in
variable custom in mild weather to
turn the bird out of his cage for GER
tain portion of each day, letting him
have his bath in a sunny spot on the
back porch. So that morning when
the little chicken was so nearly giving
up his life for lack of food and comfort,
it happened that the canary was turn
ed out of it's cage for his hour of free
dom in the sunshine. The lady was
watching to see that no cats came
around, and presently she saw the
canary trip down the steps to the
lawn, where the little chicken was cry
ing. For moment the two little
feathered things looked at each other
inquiringly. Then the bird chirped
and made dab with it's beak. The
chicken chirped and made dab, too
and pretty soon the two we're chirp
ing and dabbing away nightly. What
the chirps and dabs meant of course
we may not know, but presently the
bird came hopping up the steps, the
chicken following behind. Making
his way to the cage which sat open or
the floor, the bird went in chipping
and dabbing all the while, with The
chicken following after, and presently
the two little friends were eating anc
drinking together.
