A Chance to Make MONEY!.

I have made 81 $40 clear money
in 81 days and attended to my
household duties besides, and I
think this is doing splendid for a
woman inexperienced in business.
Anyone can sell what everyone
wants to buy, and every family
wants Dish Washer. | don't
canvas at all; people come or send
for the washer, and every washer
that goes out sells two or three
more, as they do the work to per-
lection. You c;n wish and dry
the dishes in two minutes. | am
going to devote my whole time to
this business now and | am sure [
can clear $4,000 a year. My sister
and brother have started in the
business and are doing splendid.
You can get complete instructions
and hundreds OF testimonials by
addressing the Iron City Dish
Washer Co., Station A; Pittsburg,
Pa, and fyou don't make lots Of

a pretty hard struggle to make
living, but about there months ago

r0ns and have made from four to
five dollars every day, which |
think is pretty good for an inexpe
rienced woman, my brother is now
selling irons and makes more than
| Go but he has sold other things
and is more experienced, The iron
is self heating, so it is the proper
heat all the time; and you can iron
in half the time you commonly do
and have the clothes much nicer,
you can iron out under a tree or IN
any cool place and one cents worth
of Benzoine will do an ordinary Is
roning, 50 you save the price of the
iron in fuel in a few weeks. BY
addressing w. h. Baird & Co.,
Station A., Pittsburg, Pa, you can
get full particulars, and | know
any one can do splendidly any
where. We sell at nearly every
house and any woman that l.

labor and does SO much better
work.

That Coon.

Last week after we had gone to
press we were pleased to receive
from our friend Mr.. A. Coppinger a
fine coon already dressed for cooking
accompanied by a characteristic note
which caused US to roar with delight
and we should publish it only that
subsequent events have robbed it OF
its force. Passing everything else
we Immediately went to work to
cook it and succeeded beyond our ut
most anticipation, and there was JOY
in our house for that day at least.
Ou appetite being now wnetted for
coon any one can bring one who
wants to-we are ready.

The New Hook Spoon Free to All.
l read in the Christian Standard
that Miss A, NJ. Fritz, Station A.,

CANT plated hook spoon to anyone
sending her ten 2ecent stamps. |
sent for one and found it so useful
that | showed it to my friends, and
made 1900 in two hours, taking
orders for the spoon. The hook
spoon is a household necessity. 1t
cannot slip into the dish or cooking
vessel, being held in the place by a
hook on the back. The spoon is
something that hOusekeepers have
needed ever since spoons were first
invented. Anyone can get a SAM

splendid way to make money a.

The consensus of opinion now is that
wheat in this vicinity will turn out
much better than was thought just
prior to the beginning of harvest. 1t
was ever thus in Kansas.
Among the familiar faces who have
returned from the Strip to find work in
the harvest field may be seen the fol-
lowing: Louis Borchardt. W. P.
Kleisen, John P. Davis, Seward
Mutersbaugh and Ed Borchardt.
Mrs. Henning, wife of August Hen

who has beed in feeble health for many

storm ragged without still darker one
ragged within her soul, and finally death

her corporal body, and her spirit was
waited into etertinity. She was 81
years old and the mother of large

John Rigg has come back from the
eastern part of the state to harvest his
wheat crop. He says everything
looks fine; but too much rain there at
present.
A surprise party, or rather a sup

Mr.. Eli Bowman, formerly of this

Saturday night. The remains were
shipped here, where the services were
conducted by Rev. Pierce. He leaves
wife and four children to mourn his
loss. The family has the sympathy
of the entire community.
Here is what we heard at the party:

AROUND CLAFLIN.
The Leader Says


M. G. Gilmore, John Weltmer and
Ben Hicks went to Kansas City Tues
day.
Misses Emma and Ella Strothman
have gone to Great Bend to attend the
Central college.
Will Giles lost about sixty acres of
wheat by hail Tuesday night. He
was fortunate in having hail insurance,
so will lose nothing.
1t is generally conceded that there
is more wheat to. be harvested here
abouts this year than last, and the
quality is much better.
There is no question but that more
harvest hands have been employed in
this neighborhood this year than since
'92. Yet the crop is very disappoint
ing because hardly anyone will have q
heavy yield to the acreage sown.
The fields run from 2 to Is bushels to
the acre; the average being somewhere
from to bushels, as near as can be
.conservatively reckoned.

Hon. Meyer is still going ahead

The surrounding county is already

some wheat in them,

would be if there were no differences
of opinion among men or people.
Not even the flowers in the garden
are safe from the pests of bugs, they
eat them off nearly as fast as they
come in bloom.
It must be on account of the repub.
lican convention in St. Louis that the
weather turned SO very hot. Well,
plenty of heat and moisture makes
the corn grow and we had plenty of
both.
The Great Bend Implement Co.
unloaded full car load of Hodges
Headers this week; the car was
delayed some and the farmers didn't
like it, because of their wheat being
overripe.
Henry's smile never vanished since
last weeks item in the DEMOCRAT
about the girls. More nice girls are
seen lately in Olmitz than there were
supposed to be living around here;
there must be some cause for it.
This weeks Sunday is the first one
for many years the headers were not
running like on week DAYS during
harvest time. Don't suppose the peo'
pie got more religious! not much.
The soaking Saturday night rain
stopped the headers. Well, there are
few in this neighborhood who, il
they can do nothing else on Sunday,
will dig in the ground looking fol
thunderbolts.
Olmitz and vicinity received its
full share of this years ice crop last
Tuesday night, the night of Meek
LENS death. Among the heaviest
sufferers are Adolph Hampel, A. E
Wigton. J. H. Curtis, Mrs. Holman
Marc. Schwarzer and Hugh Boyle
all of them losing wheat, which haG
promised a very good crop. The
strange fact is. the storm came direct
from the north and the hail extended
from the east to the west.
