farmers, is not an income TO be scofied
at. Kansas people have learned to do
things on a big scale so thoroughly
that they are apt to forget the small
things. 1t pays to have our atten-
ton drawn to these matters Occa-
sionally.
H. H. Bradfeld, the new bandman
and barber who was expected a few
days ago, arrived last Tuesday from
Ridge Farm, ILL.,, and is working in
the barber shop Of j. T. Chitwood.
He is said to be fine musician.
Samuel Hartsell, of Oxford, visited
the Star family from Friday until
Thursday.-Conway Springs Star.
That little event up there last week
seems to have knocked Cline all topsy
turvey. He seems to be entirely lost
on the order in which the days Of the
week come.
A United States Deputy Marshal was
here yesterday subpoenaing witnesses
to 60 to Guthrie on a perjury case.
]. W. HaHghey, W. T. Mcbride and
G. E. Elliott were caught and will
have to report at Guthrie Saturday.
Mr.. Elliott being at Wichita a copy Of
the document was left at his Office
and house.
Hon. W. R. Spicknall received a
telegram day or so ago from Pat
Nagle asking him to telegraph
Senator Baker urging him to support
his (Nagle's) confirmation in the
senate, A fight is being made against
Nagle. Mr.. Spicknall hardly knows
whether he would have any influence
with the present administration or
not.
Who weeps with you when you are
sad, and laughs with you when you
are glad, and smiles at you when you
are mad? The editor. Who has TO
be both kind and wise, and never
hardly never-lies, and when ne does
creates surprise. Who owns a heart
as well as cheek, is possessed Of spirit,
proud, yet meek, and lives on 800
week? The editor.-Exchange.
The Silent Ten Thimble society
was entertained by Mrs. B. F. Spar
Tuesday afternoon at her home on
North G street. Everybody present

Sparr's unexcelled ability to enter
tain, Refreshments were served at 5
O'Clock. The invited guests were:
Mrs. E. G. Jacka, Mrs. D. P. Wetzel
and Mrs. A. 7. Wilson,
The Methodist church had two
splendid sermons last Sunday by Rev.
Miller Large congregations we're
present both morning and evening.
A large chorus choir led by Harry
Woods furnishes the music for each
service and it is certainly splendid.
We hear many compliments eS-
pressed upon their singing. Mr..
Woods is leading this choir perma-
nently and they are making splendid
progress.
County Attorney Woods has re-
ceived several anonymous letters from
Shawnee, Oklahoma, urging him to
hold on to byrnes and Belford, that
they are bad citizens and are sure the
guilty parties in the Stunkel game.
They say further that Byrnes and
Belford are preparing 70 have a case
instituted against them for selling
liquor to the Indians. in U. S. court,
get out on light bond and skip the
country.
The majority Of our exchanges are
devOting much Of their space to CIV
ing advice to their readers, and we
will add another little piece which |
our brother editors will do we'll tc'
heed. 1t is this: One or the most |
dangerous habits people can indulge |
in is that Of lying in bed. Nine.
tenths Of all deaths occur in bed. !
Nearly one-half OF all those who are |
murdered are murdered In bed. 1t is
while you are Ia bed that your house |
is robbed and your chickens stolen.
1t is while you are In bed that the \
bugs bite, and bad dreams haunt You.
Therefore, never go to bed.-Conway
Springs Star.
Bad as is the practice Of lying in
bed, we would urge that it is infinitely
worse to lie out Of bed, as some do.
The case Of the Board OF County |
Commissioners VS.. VIM. II. Carnes
which occupied the attention of the
district court Monday, by agreement
Of the parties, was referred to W. II.
Maddy as referee for the purpose Of
ascertaining from the records the |
exact amount in controversy in the
action. 1t was then agreed that the
case would after the report Of the
referee be submitted to the |
court on an agreed statement Of |
faces and decided on the law ques-
tions involved 10 the case. We under
stand that neither party is claiming
or desires anything but what is fair
