was one OF unsurpassed enjoyment
and merfiment.
Two carry-alls were provided by

The crowd was hauled out to Wick.

fire for light and spread tempting
lunch with sandwiches, salads, cakes,

was topped of with ice cream through
the kindness Of the gentlemen.
Afterwards an hour was most pleas
antly spent 10 various passimes ap.
propriate to the occasion. The
woods we're made 10 resound with the
strains OF popular melodies, and
doubtless never encOmpassed more
joyful crowd.
The return journey was begun

A Way Out Of the Bridge Difficulties

The county commissioners have
discovered "way out" of the legal
difficulties arising from the letting of
the contracts for building four county
bridges contrary to law. 1t is to sd.
vertise for bids for structures exactly
like the four bridges in question and
at their next meeting let the contracts
to the men who built them. The
contractors will then report the
bridges completed and the commits
sioners will inspect them and pay for
them.
Through unfamiliarity with the law
governing the letting of contracts for
county bridges, the commissioners
have been awarding bridge contracts
without first advertising for bids.
Such a letting is a ''private letting" in
the meaning of the law, and is unlaw.
ful. The commissioners had let con.
tracts for four bridges in this manner.
when the discovery was made that
they had not complied with the law,
and we're personally responsible to
the county for any money paid cut
under such contracts. 1t was too late
to revoke the contracts and advertise
for bids, for the bridges has been
built and the contractors had pre-
sented their bills. The matter OF
allowing the bills was put off at the
April meeting Of the board until a
way out" could be discovered. The
commissioners think they have found
the light.
Two of the bridges in question are
located south Of Caldwell, one south,
east of Conway Springs and one In
Eden township. In addition to adver.
tising for bids for the above bridges;
the commissioners have decided Ia
advertise for bids for a new 4S-foot
. bridge over Spring creek in Creek
township, between sections 10 and Is

from his pasture last Tuesday night.
George Barton, whs lives seven miles

and since Mr.. Baker has beer hunting
Tor his own cattle, he has found a
number OF men who have lost from
one to five head in the last two
months. Major W. L. Brown of King.

that cattle stealing was the worst
ever known in Kingman county. He
says that no less than twenty-five

twice a week, or less frequently.
They 60 into herd Of fifty or a hun

water In the pasture, so that it is not
necessary to give the cattle close at
tention. They take one or two, and
maybe it is week or ten days before
they are missed. By that time the
cattle are sold and shipped, or butch

driving around over the country
looking for other prey. Today a
cattlemen's protective association will
be formed at Kingman, and it is sug

Agriculture in the PHILIPPINES.

The agricultural department has
received an interesting report from
Lieutenant A. P. Hayne, California
Heavy artillery, on agriculture in the
Philippines, daJed at Manila. Lieu
tenant Hayne had heen able to make
no personal observations bel ond the
American lines, but he transmitted
the translation Of an article prepared
for him by Senior Manuel del Busto,
chief of the agricultural experiment
station in Manila.
The most remarkable feature of the
report is the almost hopeless picture
painted of the conditions in the
island. The great fertility Of the
SOIL is pointed out and it is said that
only in a few restricted areas, where
three crops a year have been gathered
without interruption for several Gen.
turies, is there apparent need of fer
tilizers.
In spite Of this all attempts at COL
onlzation have failed, either through
the poor class Of emigrants secured,
the financial instability of the various
companies or the corruption and
oppression of the governors and gov
ernment agents. The result is that
the middle add lower classes in the
islands are almost of the worst possi-
BILE type.
ln addition to this primary difficult

Atchison Globe Philosophy.

Diamonds won't save some women.
Civilization usually means more
scheming, and less work.
When marriage takes place, those
not invited do lot of talking"
Some people are loyal 10 the way
that CAD fly is loyal to horse.
A man is generous when he Is in
love. and when he is running for
office.
If any one says a mean thing about
you, and you ask if he said it, he will
deny it.
When woman goes away on visit
it is surprising how many clothes she
thinks she needs.
Borrow a mans horse or his bicycle,
and he will discover that it has been
injured when you return it.
The pleasure Of talking too much is
as short lived as that Of eating heavily
on weak stomach.
A woman has few friends who do
not wonder, when her engagement is
announced, If she used hypnotism.
The only time boy will carry a big
basket without protest, is when it
contains pie and cake for a picnic
lunch.
II yon have a friend who cleans
clothes with gasoline, be very good to
her. She will not be left on earth
very long.
1t is becoming fashionable to learn
to cook. 1t may be, some day, that it
will become fashionable to refuse to
gossip or talk"
An Atchison woman is so fond of
writing notes that she sends one up.
stairs to her husband to tell him that
breakfast is ready.
1t is considered an indication, out
here in the west, that a man has
money if he takes a wedding trip as
long as two weeks.
A bride never finds fault with her
wedding presents until she has been
married long enough to appreciate
things that are sensible.
Probably the first disappointment
to bride is the cutting Of proposed
wedding trip abroad to one to town
dfty miles away. AND this is always
done.
An Atchison woman bought set
ting of fresh" eggs from a grocery
store two weeks ago, put them under
a setting hen and had chickens 10
two weeks.
When woman gives series OF
parties in one week, her guests are
always curious and distrustful Of her
reason for classifying and dividing
them.
An Atchison woman is SO modest
that il she sees mans piece Of
underwear and a woman's hanging
side by side on a clothes line, she
screams.
Fashions do not change much. Boys
said they felt sick fifty years ago when
given work to do, and they get sick
just as readily now when sickness will
insure them nothing to do.
Everyone has an idea that anyone
can beat drum in a band. By the
way, did you ever know anyone to
take lessons on a drum? They seem
to pick it up.

the last time last night, and was so
weak that he could hardly stand.
This morning he was unable to leave

breathing. His daughter, Miss Nellie
