STILL OWES HIS RENT.
And His Hungarian Landlady In
tends to Collect.

a suit will shortly be begun against
a wealthy New Yorker and a member of
many leading clubs in this city for the
recovery of a balance of three months
rent that he is alleged to owe for the
tenancy of a house in Budapest. Par
ticulars of the claim were received re-
Gently at the Austro-Hungarian con-
sulate and the case was subsequently
transferred to the care of the attorneys
for the consulate, says the New York
| Tribune.
The complainant is Nine. ii. Schmitt-
Ordody, a prominent business woman
in the Hungarian capital. Her proper
ty includes a villa situated in fash
ionable part of that city. Last sum-
mer, on the occasion of the Austro-Hun-
garian exposition, she asserts that she
rented her lila to the defendant for
the months of July, August and Septem-
Der for 1900 forms, and of this amoant
GOO forms is still due. This sum she
has instructed the consulate to re-
cover by legal process.
Some merriment was caused in the
consulate by the fact that q remittance
of 60 cents was inclosed by Nine. Or
dody in her letter, presumably as re-
tainer. If this was actually the purpose
which Mime. Ordody desired the money
to be devoted to it would be probably
the smallest retaining fee ever offered
to lawyer in this country. The law
yer who will take proceedings against
the American explained recently, how
ever, that Nine. Ordody intended the
money to cover preliminary stamp fees.
In Hungary petition to the courts is
obliged to have affixed revenue stamp
of the value of about 60 cents. The de-
PENDANT is at present abroad and sup
posed to be travelling in Russia.

A DECOY COW.
Nebraska Mans Clever Device for
Hunting Geese.

Nebraska Mans Clever Device for
Hunting Geese.
John Sewers, of Ames, Neb., made a
practical test of his hunting device re-
Gently and it proved q success, says the
Omaha Bee. The device is in the shape
of q COW. 1t is made of canvas, with
a steel frame, and can be folded into
a small space, except the head and
neck. The decoy is operated by two
men, one standing in the fore legs and
one in the hind legs, each in a slightly.
STOPPING posture. 1t is painted brown
and black and in such shape that when
standing up it cannot be readily dis
tinguished at a distance of 200 yards
from a large COW. The front man can
see what is going on through couple
of holes in the neck. Recently Mr..
SEWERS and D. B. Curtis took the decoy
out in the field and soon sighted flock
of geese. They put ON the decoy and
were able to get within less than 40
yards before the geese flew. They flew
up and slowly settled down about 100
yards away and did not appear to be
much frightened. The head of the de-
vice is hinged to the body and can be
dropped by the front man when in
shooting distance. The rear man fires
through a door near the top and CEN
ter of the back. Mr.. SEWERS is well
pleased with the success of the device
and has received many inquiries from
hunters in regard to it. He expects to
have several decoys manufactured.

STARVING MONKEYS KILL MEN.
HOrdes of SimIans Working Havoc
in China and japan.

Recent advices state that great dew
astation is being wrought in both
Japan and China by immense bands of
monkeys, which have been driven down
from the forests and ravines by the
unusually cold weather and heavy
SHOWS. Being deprived of the usual
means of subsisting on berries and
roots the starving monkeys are rayag-
ing outlying mountain districts and de-
Vouring crops. Everything green is
quickly eaten and then the hordes of
apes press farther into the settlements.
Around Tul1uabasan, in Ibarald Ken
province, the greatest damage had been
done.
When the monkeys first came down
two woodcutters were attacked and
killed by the hunger madened Great
ures. Since then numerous cases of the
killing of people living in isolated
Iplaces have been reported, being
caused apparently by their efforts to
subdue the intruders or protect their
property. In such cases monkeys by
dozens would attack men and kill them.
Such devastation wrought by
monkeys was unknown to japanese,
though their legends hint at such oc-
currences centuries ago. Villagers
have been preparing for revenge and
by this time organized monkey hunts
are in progress in both empires. Inc
local governments are also rendering

ELECTRIC co.'s FRANCHISE.
Will go into Effect October 1, and is
for Ten Years.

Lexington will be illuminated in grand
style next Friday night. The Lexington
Electric Company's contract with the city
for forty lights as stipulated in thef fran
chise will commence on that date, and
the company has gotten everything in
readiness to carry out it's part of the con-
tract. We nave only ten arc lights on the
streets at present and these with the gas
lights have served us now for twenty-five
months. Oh October l, the contract gives
us thirty more lights, making forty in all
besides the two arc lights on the court
house dome. The contract for the street
lighting is for ten years commencing with
next Friday. Each arc light cost the city
$3.50 a month which is an unusually low
rate for the excellent system of all night
lighting which we ave The arc lights
are 1000 candle power and light up a large
area of ground. The forty lights will give
us one on every second corner and when
the streets run parallel the lights will be
placed on opposite corners of the block
and will in this way light up the street
between.
The plant here is under the superinten-
dency of Mr.. r. II. Conroy. He is an ex
pert electrician and his management of
the affairs OF the company here has given
universal satisfaction to its many
patrons. The company has spent a coed
deal of money in making this plant what
it is and they have succeeded in giving US
one OF the best systems of lighting in the
state. The light is all good, clear and
strong and is furnished at a vesy reasona-

WILKis CONCERT BAND.

In recording the incidents of our late
jubilee we cannot refrain from making
mention of the Wilks Concert band, OF
COncordia, an organization OF twenty-five
instruments. They were met at the depot
by The Lexington band, who in a spirit OF
commendabla fraternity rendered them
the use of their elegant band chariot,
Lately presented by Mr.. job c. Young,
but on account of the number OF their
performers and the seating capacity OF
the chariot, the fConcordians could not
avail themselves of this generous offer,
but marched on foot in a body from the
depot. Ga their way down town they
filed into Judge Burdens elegant lawn,
and in front of mis- paIatial residence gave
him the unexpected pleasure of a grand
seIeuade. They then continued their
march to the court house square, and
there gave an excellent rendition OF the
overture Midnight and Day" This
composition, as intimated by the title, is
a descriptive overture-the most difficult
of all musical ideas to interpret-and 1t
taxed to the utmost the capacity of every
member of the Dand. But, from the low
rumbling of the distant thunder. 30 well

tones OF the clarinets at the opening notes
of the overture, all through the scenes OF
toIliDg midnight bells, the monks chorus,
with organ interlude, the ghosts march,
the witches dance, the lovers s~erenade,
the goodnight, down to the gladstone
song O the birds at the rising OF the King
of Day in the grand finale, the instru-
ments seemed to vie with each other in a
generous rivalry to perfectly represent the
touching sentiments of this beautiful and
aesthetic composition. And they sue
ceeded. The people were wild with delight
and musical enthusiasm.
There was something In this romantic
composition, as Interpreted by the band,
that caught and captivated the ear of the
most uncultured, aud at the same time,
by that nameless power of deep. impas-
stoned harmonies, seized, delighted and
entranced the finer sensibilities of the
musical connoisseur.
This ability to appreciate and faithfully
interpret the ideas of the composer con-
stitutes the real merit and talent oil the
true musician.
The master mind of his q Is Prof.
W. wiki, their conductor and teacher.
He is q thoroughly educated musician,
and possesses talents OF q high order and

to him and his patient teaching is largely
due the proficiency and wide reputation
now enjoyed by this excellent organiza-
ton. Long live Concordia and her superb
band.

Our merchants are honest. They
could not afford to be otherwise. Their

worth something. Their stocks are

their prices are as low as you can get

You may have the legal right to buy
your goods in Kansas City if you want

to do so. You have no mora right to
get every dollar you can out of this
