A number OF years ago a man came
into Great Bend on the day of circus
and sold to A. r. Moss lot of smoked
meat to procure money with which to
take himself and family to the circus.
The next day he came around and
bought ION credit) some of the same
meat to take home and feed his family.
We have heard of another man. a res
ident of this city. who, in a former
year also, took his cook stove the only
one he had in the world-to the second
hand dea' ers (Hahn s. McMican it was
,then) and sold it for enough money to
go to the show. Last Friday after
noon a resident of the east side called
on c. F. Diffepbacher and P Boughan
and tried to sell a.couple of pigs be had
for enough money 10 go TO the circus
the next day. And the man has been
out of work for months and does not
really know what be is going to do to
keep from starvation. He did not sell
the pigs to the gentlemen named, but
we saw him at the circus all right.

judgment day; where. sick and sore,
and weary of the strife, but glad to hold
that precious chalice. Life-to hot and
parching lips, and gaze once more upon
the loved banner we adore, the brave
SURVIVORS marched to victory's goal,
disbanded, and took up the role of
common citizens. These are the men
our brothers and our friends-who
ask that all good citizens shall join with
them in paying tribute to the memory
of those who fought and fell, and to
those other ones who fought as brave
and well, but later passed the portals
to the tomb.

items mixed in with its patent medi-

of tumbling onto some snap he has
never earned, he will take the num-

his paper by emulating the example of

he will-but fear the hope will prove

MAMMOTH ERETGHTS.

Already tho railroads east of Chicago
are BEGINNING 20 fosl the pressure of the
enormous grain shipments, and IL is stated
that the New York Central, for instance,
which transports grain from Buffalo TO
the soaboard, taking it from the Lake
lines, has had heavier traffic and larger
earnings during the month of August
than in any single month in tho history
OF the railroad.
Tho figures Of grain and other receipts
at Chicago are indeed imposing. They
are mounting toward II, 000, 900 bushels a
week, increasing at the rate of IA million
a week and more than doubling the
records for any of tho three preceding
years. East of Chicago TO Buffalo the
lake and rail lines are also establishing
new records for traffic though naturally
the railroads are suffering in the compe.
tition with the steamers. There is no loss
TO tho railroad companies, however, since
tho lake carriers are controlled by tho
trunk lines.
Activity on the farms and railroad
business that has no precedent presage
revival in business In all lines.
Prosperity is laundering along from the
prairie lands to rouse up the mills and
shops of the East.
