of Chanute, begins his second year
with us, and during the year he never
failed to deliver his copy but once,
but very few times did it come later
than Tuesday. Mr.. Freeman is well
pleased with the results, and his bust
ness relations has been highly salts
factory. 1t pays him to do that way
and push through, why wouldn't it
pay you to do the same way? Mr..
Freeman is a man of good business
judgement and he is satisfied our cir
culation is on the paying list-and
there are others, the proof of which Is
their advertisements. Give us more
ads and we will prove to you that they
are beneficial, besides improving the
paper. We have been asked several
time about man whose ad had ap-
peared irregularly, ''if he is here" The
inquisitors stated that they thought
the firm had left the place since he
didn't advertise. You see this mer-
chant lost money on those parties,
the profits on which sales would have
paid the printer for the space six
months. -Savonsburg News. Right
you are Brother Jordon, Mr.. Freeman
is always on hands with his ads, be-
sides he reads them after they are in
print, and ne yer fails to show his ap-
probation of nicely gotten up ad,
but what is still better, when the first
of the month rolls. round, Mr.. Free
man pays his bill as though he thought
he had had value received for his
money.
OF all the great equestrian perform
ances of the circus world is none more
strange or attractive than the perfec-
tly trained equestrian lion to be seen
with the Walter L. Main Enormous
r. r. Shows, 3-Ring Circus, 5-Conti-
nent Menagerie, Roman Hippodrome
and trained wild beast shows, This
remarkable animal which few years
ago roamed, king of an African forest,
is now seen at every performance OF
| the Walter L. Main shows, riding a
bareback horse with all the ease, grace
and agility Of champion human
equestrian. There is no act or part of
any act, performed by our champion
bareback biped artists which this in
telligent quadruped does not dupli-
cate, and many things in which he ex-
cells the gentlemanly artists of the big
show. The big show exhibits here on
May 18th, and everyone should see the
only horse riding lion performer.
w. B. Whitaker of Buffalo, has put
up a creamery on his own "hook" and
is running it himself, using the milk
of his own COWS Us in number) and
making money. The average creamery
with $1,000 capital, paying a superin-
tendent 800 per month and two or
three other useless officers almost as
much, has long since had its day in
many Kansas towns, including Ere
donia, Buffalo, Erie and many others
within our knowledge. These are now
being replaced by creameries on a
smaller scale; the owner ssuperinten-
dent, secretary, and butter-maker,
while his boys milk the cows, slop the
hogs and etc. The latter creameries
are always successful.
The commissioners of both Neosho
and Wilson counties have given the
Forest Oil Co., the right to lay pipes
along the highways and across the
same and across the edges Of farms;
we may expect to see work begin on
the pipe line from the Gamble well
one mile east Of Benedict to this city
in very short time. Chanute people
are counting on using gas for lighting
and heating purposes this winter.
The following resolution was adop-
ted by the Ladies of the G. A. r. at

ton. Sue A. Rench, Secretary.
Fredonia organized commercial
club last week, with John G. Hubbell
as president; c. II. Pierce, vice presi-
dent; A. d. Crooks, Secretary, and j.
d. Allen, Treasurer. Their object is
to look out for the interests of Fredo-
mia, and encourage capital to locate
in thai town. 'Smatter with Chanute
organizing a commercial club?
A fake "1ightning rod dispenser
dropped down on one HOttenstein near
Humboldt couple of weeks ago, and
sold Mr., II. ten dollars worth of rods
for $3.50. Well, after all, there is some
excuse for a fellow buying lightning
rods from agents, as no hardware mer-
chant in Humboldt carries such goods.
