ston very obliging, courteous sales
man and valuable acquisition to
Case 4 Co.'S. obliging store force.
1t is given out through the dis
patches that after hard battle In the
IF. A. A. general council the
"radicals" beat the conservatives"
at every point. Life insurance is one
place where too much radicalism ia
not desirable.
Prank item, from the Hope Dis
patch: A friend called on us this
week to tell us that there was mis-
spelled word in the paper last week.
The fact that she discovered but one
misspelled word is a dead give away
on her spelling.
&C. B. Hoffman is to attend Vol.
untary Cooperation meeting in Chi
cago next summer. Nobody around
here has had more experience in coop
Grafton than he and II he will tell the
story Of Topolobampo's experiment
along that line he will make a great
hit.
-Holton Recorder: Why the state
Of Kansas should be taxed to send
Prof Dychc up to the north pole to
find peculiar aplmals to stuff, when
there are so many wild eyed long
haired Pops running at large in and
about the state house, Is problem
that one Of our subscribers wants
solved.
"A writer OF a communication in
the Monitor complains because he Is
not able to buy 40 cent pair Of
rubbers for his little girl. 1t can be
depended upon that the writer is a
financial student OF the 'reformer"
variety and hasn't time to secure the
40 cents with which to buy the
rubbers.
The Pops have finally officially
recognized Charley Martin, leading
Salina Republican, and appointed
him assistant reading clerk Of the
house. The facts are Charley has
been telling the presiding officer how
to run things ever since the legisla-
ture convened.
Manchester News: viii and
Charley Keckler left Tuesday fol Abb
lene, where they expect to stay a
week and then 90 to their home near
Troy, Kas. The boys have bad a
very pleasant time visiting in these
parts among friends and old neighbors
who were delighted with their pres
ence and much regret to see them 60.
There are merchants in Abilene
who have worried along for years with
a small patronage, because they have
not advertised thier business. II they
had told the people what they had
though the columns Of this paper, and
kept on telling them, they might have
as large and prosperous a business
now as those merchants who have been
doing the advertising.
The REFLECTOR has received sew
eral letters from leading newspaper
men Of the State complimenting 1t on
its big advertising edition of the
weekly and praising it as one Of the
best ever put out. One says; "How
did you do it in these dull timesP
It's a dandy" We did 1t because
Dickinsons merchants are enterpris-
ing and know a good thing when they
see it.
Topeka Mail; When 1t comes to
matter of female affections our ad-
vice is never trust a Dickinson county
man. j. p Howe Of Kansas City
brought suit in district court on
Tuesday for 5000 damages against
c. +. Masch Of Chapman, claiming
that Masch won his wife from him.
Masch and family are on their way to
Texas and the suit will probably be
abandoned.
-Eldorado Republican: The legis-
lature does not seem willing to pay
the postage on the last agricultural
report, although the most valuable
one ever printed by the state. This
has been a source OF much unhappi-

tary Of agriculture he can snap his
finger at the Pops and tell them to
