Christmas Is Coming and Then You'll
Be Happy.

Another night Of threatened rain
which did not come made more or less
sadness. Today the scorching weather
continued, making an even seven days
Of it. The mercury registered lO4 this
afternoon. Late wheat still In the
milk is thought to be suffering, but
an immediate cooling off will help it.
The ice men and vendors of cool
drinks are about the only happy per-
sons in town.
Some one has recently invented a
stove with which, by means Of salt, a
small quantity Of ice, and a patent
chemical, he proposes to produce an
intense degree Of cold. The stove
can be cooled 80 that II q hand be

stove the temperature Of a room, in
hottest weather, can be run down to

Fmit Is Promising.

j. B. Petrie visited the big apple
orchards of Robert Kenney near Chap
man yesterday and reports the out
look for apples as remarkably fine.
The trees were sprayed three times
and the apples, now about the size Of
hickory nuts, are perfect without
mark or worm. On the north side of
trees are small spots where fruit and
leaves are touched by blight but in
general the crop is in splendid con-
dition.

at an entertainment given at IIolton,
Kan, few evenings ago, a number OF
the handsomest and liveliest young
women Of the village were placed on
sale and auctioned off TO the highest
bidders for cash in hand. mot only
was the bidding spirited says Kan
sas contemporary, but the prices were
ridiculously low. The only damsel
over whom there was any competition
at all was the acknowledged belle Of
the town, and she was knocked down,
using the language OF public vendue,
at the paltry sum of 30 centsl Most Of
them didn't bring over 10 cents"

Troxel Was Successful.

A telegram from West Point says
that Orlando c. Troxel passed sue
cessfully the final entrance examina-
ton at the U. 5. Military academy,
both in his studies and physical, and
is a full-hedged cadet with four years
of work before him.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, who was appointed
year ago, failed on this examination
by one point in arithmetic and that
made the recent examination and new
appointment necessary.

How Is This, Nick?

Sheriff Robson ought to explain
about this from the Concordia En-
pire: The joke is on the sheriffs of
Clay, Geary and Dickinson counties
that got pack of bloodhounds to
catch criminals. They put the pack
on the track of a burglar in Clay
county the other day and the dogs
ran a little distance and sat down in
the shade. Then the sheriffs saw that
the dogs were settlers instead Of
bloodhounds.
