MANvFACTVRY

Another monopoly has come to light-a
monopoly whose existence has doubtless
been suspected by few people. All the
luck in Kansas City is under the control
OF one person, and she doles it out just
as she pleases. Grandma" the mascot
OF ellis street, is the president. secre-
tary. treasurer, board of directors and
stakeholder CT the "Amalgamated Luck
association according to her own state
ment. She is the whole show. Good luck
and ill-she controls both. You pay the
money ard she makes the choice.

Hon. William Walker died at his
home in this city at about noon Tues
day of this week. W. Walker has
been ailing for some time but his
many friends did not realize the end
was so near. He was an old resident
of this county having moved here in an
early day, owning considerable land.
Until some six years ago he resided on
his farm southeast of town, devoting
most of his time to stock raising.
Some ten or twelve years ago he was
elected representative from this county
holding that Office two terms. He has
always been al active man in every
respect, to know him was to like and
respect him. His wife departed from
this life four years ago, since that time
he has resided in town attending to his
business interests in the store. He
leaves seven children to mourn his loss
one brother and sister. The funeral
will take place today from the Congre-
gational church, of which he was a
member, conducted by the knight
Templars. The sorrowing family have
the sympathy of all in this sad hour.

days meeting of the city government not
to hear the report Of the park commits
sioners on the proposition to purchase the

will make their report on this matter at
the next regular mseting.
1t is doubtful If the proposed sight for
a Deering park would be favorably enter
tanned by the city government even If the
park commissioners should report favor
ably upon the matter. Some of the mem.
beers Of the city govsrnment from Deering
were heard to say on Monday night that
they were in favor of the extension of the
park sy stem to Deering, but would prefer
that the park would not be- located on the
side Of a hill There were many sigma
lures TO the petition which asked the city
government to consider this matter, how
ever.
