big freight train has not come up be-
hind it and smashed it.
A young lady in Liberal dropped her
pocketbook in the kindling the other
day. The s25 in bills went up in smoke
but she saved the S1.1o which was in
silver.
1t is hard to tell why Maple Hill was

more destitute of trees if it were loca-

Kansas.

the contracts for supplying the state
institutions for the next six months
The total value of the contracts made

The Kansas jacls-rabbit goes to Par
is; that is, the skin of him does, and

not so inappropriate. A jack-rabbit is
not as fast as electricity, but he is the
next thing to it.
The business of the Hutchinson and
Southern railway in Oklahoma has in
creased so much that two new trains,
. passenger and a freight, will be add
ed to the service. Medford is now the
southern terminus
A Beloit man who owns considerable

gurated about year ago 1t has been
in a number of bad wrecks and has
been a very expensive service for the
company in other respects. The mail
runs between Kansas City and New
ton, leaving Kansas City at 2 o'clock
