| put III at Lnelf IOWQ anu they seem TO
have a right to be. All the principal
mains are six-inch, the pipes are laid
so as TO reach every house in town,
and the work was done with remark
able celebrity and thOrOughness. We
are glad our neighbor is so well
equipped for utilizing the greatest
domestic luxury in the world.
Y. c. News: The NeCS enjoyed a
visit Tuesday afternoon from Prof
Newton, the polite and gentlemanly
conductor of the county Normal
Prof. Newton taught his first term of
school in WO0dsen county 20 years
ago, few miles west of Neosho Falls.
He is recognized as one of the leading
educators of the State and already has
warm place in the hearts of the
normslites of Woodson county.
Last Friday evening when the little
cOlored girl who works for Mrs. Lutte
p. Slower turned off the gas in the
cook stove she left q little escaping
and it was allowed to escape all night
and the next morning when she
| lighted the fire there was an explO-
sion. The top was blown off the
stove and the pipe was torn down, but
aside from that no damage was done
except to scare the cOlOred girl out of
few years growth. She will be
more careful hereafter.
Now that we are to have brick side
walks everywhere, the council ought
to pass an ordinance providing the
manner in which they must be laid.
There isn't any better walk than brick
well laid, but there could hardly be
worse walk than brick poorly laid. A
bed of cinders, not less than six inches
deep, then two inches of sand, then
the brick, laid herring bone, with the
curb on end and rolled with roller
weighing not less than three hundred
pounds, then swept with cement
that is the way TO make brick walk
that will last forever.
The Directors of the lola Manufac-
turing Company met Wednesday
night and let the contract for the
construction of their planning mill to
Fuller & Co. and work will begin at
once. They expect to have the
wheels turning and everything ready
for business in a very short time.
E. s. Cheneweth, of McCracken, J.
E. Sawtell, of Gypsum, VIM. Nash,
of Solomon, and B. L. Stauber, of
Jewell City, were some of the direct
ors present. l.. H. Wishard, secre
tary of the company, can be found in
rooms adjoining H. l.. HendersOn's
office during business hours.
Mr.. ]. w. Stinson handed us a
Honolulu (HawaiD paper the other
day in which appears the following
notice:
The engagement of Miss Mamie Sullivan, of
Seattle Wash to Chas E. Moore, of Nashville,
Tenn. is announced. Mr. Moore is at present
in the Honolulu Iron Works.
That is our Charley Moore, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. q. w. Moore, of Moran.
And aside from our interest in him
the foregoing item is of interest for
the magnificent distances it covers.
The engagement of Tennessee man to
a Washington woman, announced in
a Sandwich Islands paper is some
thing that you don't run up against
every day.
THE TRUE REMEDY. w, NJ. Repine,
editor Tishkilwa, ILL.,, "Chief,n says:
ave won't keep house without DR..
Kings New Discovery for cOnsump-
ton, coughs and colds. Experiment.
ed with many others, but never got
the true remedy until we used DR..
Kings New Discovery. No other
remedy can take it's place in our
home, as in it we have a certain and
sure cure for coughs, colds whOOping
cough, ETC." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies even if they are
urged on you as just as good as DIR.
Kings New Discovery. They are
not as good, because this remedy has
a record of cures and besides is guar
anteed 1t never fails to satisfy.

An excursion from Fl Scott to lola
will probably be run some time next
week under the auspices of the Pres
byterian church of the former place.
In case the arrangements now made
are carried out the excursiOnists will
come by special train which will take
them to Trine's Grove which will be
| fitted up for their comfort and pleas
ure. Mr.. Urine will have his steamer
ready and will make trips up the
river and back during the day. The
express wagons will be on hand to
drive the visitors tie the smelter, the
brick plant and other places of inter-
est. There will probably be several
hundred excursiOnists and everything
possible should be done by all our
people to make their visit pleasant
| one.
There has been good deal of sgita-
ton in this country in favor of chang
ing our system of reckoning time up
to twenty-four o'clock instead of twice
twelve. The twenty-four o'clock
system has been already adopted in
Italy and Belgium, and Switzerland
will probably soon follow their ex-
ample. The advantage argued is
that it does away with the confusion
that is continually occurring on &C.
count of having all the hours num-
bered twice the same day. The dis
advantage is the sentimental one
which always makes people reluctant
to change the old order of things,
and the practical one of the incOn-
venience and cost of having watches
and clocks altered to correspond with
the new system. 1t is not likely that
