One of the strong features of the

Aggie seems to have just enough

No one who attended the graduation

Sheriff Prange seems to have good
deal of business in Chanute lately. 1t
sorty makes us shudder and wonder
what they have found out on us when
we meet him.
The boys don't seem to be having
very good luck fishing this spring,
they don't dare fish for anything but
Cat, and they don't seem to bite very

We are informed that Aug Barrels

What splendid time the next few

Miss Radford leaves us this spring
for higher work and better pay. Miss
Radford and Miss Ellis have had the
work of three thrust onto them this
year. They made great effort and
accomplished wonders considering the
many disadvantages under which they
had to labor.
The peculiar grimace and upward
Jerk of the chin by the young gentle
men of fashion when you meet them
is not intended to be disrespectful,
butts only an effort to disengage the
upper lobe of the ear from its entan-

Could any patron of the Chanute
schools who heard the high school
chorus regret the small amount paid
out to accomplish the work? How
many are there that know the teach
ers contributed to the amount of a
dollar month to pay for the special
instruction your children got? We
hope the board will continue this
special work in music if they have
to pay the whole expense out of Dist.
funds.
A very fine strawberry plant is in
our office for one Abbott, carpenter
by trade, which he can have by pay
ing for this notice at the usual rates
This is the outcome of a rather gally
transaction. 1t seems this carpenter
went into his neighbours strawberry
match, an old comrade at that, before
the neighbor was astir and dug up one
hundred of his choice strawberry
plants and set them out on his own
ground. He had remarkably good
luck with the plants and they all
, lived but one. But when he found
one of his plants was dead he hoped
around on three legs awhile and de-
manded of his neighbor that he re-
place that plant. The neighbor con-
sidered the proposition awhile and
now furnishes the plant.

MRS. STANFORD AND
THE CENTRAL PACIFIC
A RUMoR REVIVED THAT SHE
WILL UNLOAD HER STOCK.
She Left Last Evening for New York
Her Arrival Awaited With
Interest.

Railroad people and stock spectators
are on the anxious seat regarding the
Central Pacific. The departure of Vice
President Crocker for the East, followed
by the announcement yesterday that Mrs.
Leland Stanford would leave last even
ing for New York, revived the rumor the
Stanford block of Central Pacific stock
was to be unloaded at once. The sudden
and mysterious rise in Central Pacific,
which increased Mrs. Stanford's fortune
by several figures, has been constant
topic for discussion and prophecy among
railroad men for several weeks.
Before Vice President Crocker departed
he held a long conference with Mrs. Stan
ford, and as their interests are closely
allied, it is expected something mo-
mentous. will happen when they reach
New York Mrs. Stanford's energies are.
as is we'll known, all devoted to per-
petuating Stanford University, and she is
endeayoring to so arrange the property
which is to go to the institution that the
trustees will have comparatively little
trouble in managing 1t. Instead of leav-
ing an immense fortune IN unstable and
fiuctuating railroad stocks, the income
from which would always be uncertain,
it is her evident intention to convert the
bearing bonds. For these reasons it is
now believed she will dispose of her en-
tire holdings in Central Pacific.
Mrs. Stanford left for the East last
evening. Her friends knew of her de-
parture but she did not disclose the pur-
pose of her trip nor how long she would
be gone

SLOAN AND COLEMAN AGAIN.
The Noted Turfman Will Shoot
Match Race of 100 Birds at
IngleSide.

The "only'' Ted Sloan and Bookmaker
Coleman will meet again at the traps on
Sunday morning.
Coleman was defeated by Sloan in their
last contest by one bird, and since then
he has been badgering the crack jockey
for a return match, with the result that
Sloans kindness of heart asserted itself
and he consented on Friday last to give
his unsuccessful competitor another
chance to redeem himself.
Last evening Tod and Johnny met at
the rooms of the Olympic Gun Club and
deposited with Secretary Scovern the sum
of $3.50 a side subject to the following
conditions, viz: The race to take place

grounds near Ingleside on Sunday morn
ing at 10 o'clock; Nottingham rules
to govern Each man to shoot at 100 live
birds (blue rocks) and the one who
scores the greater number of kills to be be
declared the champion trap shooter of
the turf and the winner of the coin at
stake Stanley Scovern has been selected
trapper and official scorer. Betting on
the contest has commenced. The racing
friends of both men are looking forward
to a forenoon of great sport. Coleman is
q slight favorite in the betting, from the
fact that he is considered a great slayer
and a very cool performer. Still, Sloan
is confident of winning, and he will have
several admirers on the grounds who will
back him literally against the book
maker.
Tod will use beautiful twelve-gauge
gun, which is a present from the Prince
of Wales. He says that 1t will be i'm
possible for him to miss bird with the
royal weapon.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutiohal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors

powers, that they offer One Hundred

The Green Bay Company's Depart
ment Store At Logan.

Mr.. +. c. Finkbine, President of
the Green Bay Lumber Company,
was in Minneapolis this week &C
companied by X. E. Jewett, Secreta-
ry of the Company When asked
how the department store, which
the Company organized at Logan,
Iowa, was progressing Mr.. Finkbine
said that it was only after mature
dellberation and exhausting all
other resources that the Company
had decided upon the very radical
step they had taken. The merchants
at Logan had seen fit to ruin the
lumber business at that point by
organizing and supporting a So
called farmers lumber company to
sell lumber at or below cost. The
only resource left this company was
to engage in some other mercantile
line, which they accordingly have
done To the members of this Com
Pany, who had been used to the
profits accruing from selling lum-
Der at retail, the very large per cent.
added to the original cost by mer-
chants in other lines had been a
very pleasant revelation, and they
were free to confess that they were
we'll satisfied with the exchange in
business. The business done so far
had proven far better than they had
anticipated. but apart from the
profitable financial side the moral
effect OF their investment had been
far reaching. He did not know of
an industry throughout Iowa that
was at present better known. Every
travelling man, farmer, merchant or
customer who had occasion to do
any travelling were all discussing it
Although the aSsuranCe of reasona-
bic interest on their investment was
gratifying, Mr.. Finkbine said that
the friendly and satisfactory rela-
tionship which had lately been in
creased between his Company and
the lrcal merchants at several other
different points where they carried
on a lumber business was of far
more interest to them. Many mer-
chants who had been thoughtless-
~ led into looking upon the lumber
business as legitimate field for eX-
panding or buildingsup their own
trade had been given most effec-
tive sermon. Until shown the effect
on their own business of the meth
DDS advocated for consumers with
lumber a great many merchants
|
what the ultimate result would be
OF their establishing and support
ing cooperative lumber companies
to sell lumber at cost. 1t had been
very easy for such merchants before
to figure out that the added trade
which was drawn on account of in
ducenents of cheap lumber made
profitable his contribution of few
hundred dollars. Mr.. Finkbine said
that the one matter he most regret
ed was the infringement of their
heretofore invariable rule of con-
timing themselves entirely to the
lumber business. They had adopt
ed this policy, not from lack of faith
in any other stable commodities but
but because they were resolved to
respect the rights of other mer,
chants who made a business of dis
posing of these several commodi.
ties. Many times agents from ex-
J tensive manufacturing concerns
