DANGERS TO ORDER.
Feature of Providing Dancing Young Men to Its CustomerT.

Among the articles purveyed to dts customers by a mammoth London dry goods store are young dancing men. In London, as elsewhere, hostesses have the greatest difficulty in obtaining the requisite number of male dancers for their balls Outside of the military, dancing men form very small minor ity of the regular residents in the me tropolis. On the other hand, there are almost at all times plenty of visitors in London, young men who come up for few days from the country or the universities, who would be only too glad of the opportunity to attend private ball, but are debarred therefrom ow- ing to the limited extent of their ac- quaintance in the city.
 To obviate this difficulty and bring the would-be hogesses and guests to- gether plan has been devised by the management of the big shop which is said 10 work satisfactorily. When customer intends to give a ball and finds that she will not be able te find partners for all her women guests. she notifies the shop 10 supply her wath specified number of young men. The order is filed through fhe medium Of a list wherein male visitors to the city are requested to enter their names. Of i course the management of the shop { has to be very careful concerning the social status of hosts and guests. It would never do to send small trades men to the house of woman of rank. This difficulty is obviated by system of tabulation. The managers take care to find out all about the 1Jstesses and the men, and, having satisfied them selves concerning their position in so-
 ciety, arrange them in groups sccord- ingly.
 Thus everybody can be suited with out danger of unpleasant contretemps.
 The scheme is said to be profitable to the store, for of course the young men
 who are thus accommodated buy their
 gloves, ties and other neeessaries there. IN. I. Sun.

won't Talk Into a phonograph.

Mir. Edison has persistentIy refused to register his voice upon phonograph cylinder for repetition. To some friends who urged him to talk into one of these machines he gave his reason: "It would make me sick with disgust to see placarded on photographs everywhere l turn: Drop nickel in the slot and hear Edison talk. No, no; none of that for me" The tone of voice in which he stated his objection made it clearly ap- parent that be could neither be coaxed nor dragged into granting the request, even though he has had an offer of S10.- 900 for five-minutes' talk. Tn perfect ing the photograph he has, of course, been obliged to talk into the machine frequently, but the cylinder is always scraped so that his voice cannot be re- produced. To one close friend, how ever, he reluctantly gave cylinder re- cording few of his words, and to young man who particularly interested him he gave another on which is re- corded his favorite story. These are the only two in existence. = Ladies' Home Journal.

4 Puzzle fo Scientists. Careful measurements hv ror.

ment engineers have revealed the fact that ,990 seeond-feetof water are lost from th4 Missouri river in its course from one point ia Montana. to- another Some hundred miles or 50 down the stream. This extraordinary leakage, enough to make Q very considerable river of itself, has been somewhat of q puzzle to scientists; but the recent suc- cess of Dakota farmers away to the east and south of these points on the Missouri in sinking artesian wells shows where it has gone. As geologists had declared that there would not be any water in these Dakota lands and the flow proves to be remarkably abun- dant, it is believed that the farmers have tapped the water which leaks from the big hole in the Missouri river away up in Montana.-Chicago Tribune.

good an opportunity. With fine sar- easln Heylyn adds that probably they did not desire to endanger the lives of the few remaining natives they had per work.
 In the role of Munchausen Heylyn is success. He asserts that the land is "blest with such an abundance of gold that they find in many of the mines more gold than earth" and that the na- LFes, not regarding it greedily, ex- change it for iron implements. He also states that the most valuable gems are found in abundance; that the land IS plentiful of spices and fruits. aad such creatures as the old world never Knew. Among the latter are "hcgs with taions sharp as razors and he nafelon the ridge offheirbaeks." Many etaer equally strange and terrible creas Hif are described.

AIa.ka.s Great Forests.

The gold of Alaska, on which the att tention of mankind is just now fixed with brilliant anticipation, may not, in the end, turn cut to be the greatest treasure which that land possesses. The Alaskan forests appear to be among the most valuable in existence Extending from Cross sound, a little south of Mount Fairweather, to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, partly in Alaska and part ly in British Columbia, lies what Gar den and Forest describes as the great est continuous body of timber of the cone-bearing or pine family in the world, "almost unmarked as yet by the ax, safe from fire, and of easy access. ?" Security from fire, due 10 the moist climate, is regarded as one of the chief causes of the continued existence of these magnificent forests, - Youths Companion,

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1898-06-16
OUR COUNTY CANDIDATES.

BY proceedings elsewhere In this
Pr per you will note that the demo.
Gratis and populists of Barton County
have again united on county candi.
dates. and have nominated for q
second term all the officers elected
two years ago.
We believe that in taking this
action the delegates of both conven
tions, representing as they do all the
elements opposing republicanlsm
have acted most wisely. Each of the
gentlemen nominated are competent.
trustworthy and most ably qualified
to fill the positions, as they have so
ably demonstrated during the past
eighteen or more months In which
they have served us.
In giving them your support you
are not making the experiment of
trying new men, bat are simply ex'
pressing your opinion of them aud
their service to you as public officers.
Every one of them is we'll known
to all people of the county, and while
they will doubtless visit all parts of
the county during the next few
months, and endeavor to meet every
voter, we feel that their course during
the past will be unqualifedly en-.
dorsed at the polls in November.
The conventions were called early,
In order that the nominations be
made before most men were busy in
the harvest field, but that is no reas IN
why every democrat, every popuIist,
and every free silver republican
should not get right to work now,
and keep at work until election day,
to secure the election of our standard
bearers by overwhelming msjorities.
The resolutions set forth in plainest
terms the position our party takes
upon the principle issues of the day;
there is no lodging of questions. nc
hiding of motives, no equivocation OF
innuen6o, our platform states pre-
cisely "where we are at" and chal-
lenges the republicans TO meet US up
on the issues outlined.
If you endorse those resolutions
vote for the candidates who represent
their Sen timents. ~.
