snt to Advise Him,

Considerable time was taken up In
securing jury in the Guinane case.
Every man In town eligible to jury
service was summoned, aud thirty or
forty talesmen were examined before
twelve men, good and true, we're
found. One old gentlemen from Big
Greek had allowed the deputy sheriff
to slip up on him, and found himself
In the jury box. Judge Stillwell was
putting the stereotyped questions
touching his competency. "Do you
believe" said the Judge, "in the
event OF conviction, the punishment
prescribed In the statute to be exces-
sive.r "well now, Jedge," said the
old man, ''l'm only plain, common

Among eighty-one contestants, our
creamery man, Mr.. d. s. Tweed, was
awarded third prize for excellence and
purity Of butter, his product testing
96a, the highest test being 81. This
is certainly fine record for Chanute,
and shows that our creamery is one of
the very best In the state.
The premium calls for fifty 6O-pound

about as proud as any man in the
country.

[By Our Special Correspondent.

Garvin's Typewriter Testimonial.
One day last fall a meek and lowly
man, upon whose shoulders the
weight Of great burden seemed to
hang, tiptoed into the county clerks
office. He was the agent for the Roy
al Nonesuch typewriter, bent on SELL
ing Garyin machine. The talk he
put up about it was a corker. His
fiamboyant praise of~its automatic
happerjuke walked Clarence Locke
from sound sleep. His apostrophe
to its self-cocking kiddoey brought
tears to Jim Nations eyes, And
when in his peroration he referred to
the stemwinding stigtossel with which
,the machine was equipped, Garyin
capitulated and wrote out the check.
Last week Garvin received letter
from the Royal Nonesuch people.
They expressed the hope that he liked
the machine, and suggested that in
case he did testimonial to that effect
would be greatly appreciated. Gar
vim took his typewriter in hand and
this is what he wrote:

Neosho and Wilson Counties.

( Theodore gets into the mire and clay
OF trouble, through his disposition to
fondle other mems wives, he will see
to 1t that a jury Of farmers does not
sit upon his guilt or innocence.
The chances are that the work Of
the December term of court will all
have to be done over. John Halbert
isn't satisfied with it.
David W. Hazen, who has been TAX
ing the football course at the State
Agricultural College, is at home for
the holidays.
The Erie correspondent Of the Tri-
bune should try crokinole, humble
peg, or some other mild diversion in
keeping with his ,one-horse power
mental equipment and hectic phrase
ology. Roasting" isn't his game.
A disciple of the weltmer school of
magnetic healing looked over the
ground here last week with view of
starting miracle factory. After he
had seen the Erie mineral well he de-
cided that competition in the art Of
healing was too strong here, and
moved on.
Speaking of diversified industry,
there is a jewelry store in Erie that
carries tinware and buggy whips as a
side line.
The December term of court afford
ed the chronic jurors poor picking.
None of them got whack at the
county treasury.
The Guinane assault case drew the
biggest crowd of "rubbernecks' seen
at the court house since July. Gull
nane's fate shows to what depth
man will fall who tries to harmonic
dapple-grey overcoat with a set of
pink whiskers.
The wife of Ed Ryan was here last
week circulating a petition praying
for pardon. Ryan, it will be re-
membered, was convicted of perjury
at the July term of court and sem
fenced to a year in the penitentiary.
Mrs. Ryan bad secured about 600 sig
natures to the petition when here.
This indicates, among other things,
that the crop of dodgasted fools IS
just as big this year as ever.
This is the season of the year when
the enterprising confidence man
starts paper at Stark, and works
the people of that town for lot Of
yearly subscriptions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Albright, who
have been one for two or three years
past, are now two. Mrs. Albright
was awarded, also, the right and title
to her maiden name, Maude Best.
Maybe Albright knows his business,
but the writer hasn't much faith In
the perceptive qualities Of man who
will 60 away and leave peach. like
that.
Erie and Moran will play football
Christmas IL the weather permits.
The majority Of the people Of Erie
are enthusiastic over football, but 1t
isn't likely that the town will have
team next year. Squire William
Dutton doesn't approve Of the game.
Pleasant william Cummings de-
sires us to say to the man who has
been cultivatIng dn intimate ac-
quaintance with the formers wood
house that he will kindly avoid car
rying away the stick In which Will

Mr.. Cummings has no objection to
furnishing the man in wood, but he is
afraid he'll want to borrow stove,
too, If he gets that particular stick.

Mr.. HartSOcK had been in declining
health for over year. In his last i'll

his Affections patiently until the last.
He came to Kansas quite early and
spent most of his time farming near

two sons and one brother survive him

the comforting hope that we may
meet them in that land where sorrow
