REGULAR HOT WINDS.
September Is Proving a Hummer fol-
Sure.

The summer months in Kansas are
May, June, July, August and Septem-
ber-especially the last named. This
was the third day of over 100 degrees
temperature with hot winds. Tues
day reached the seasons limit, 1903.
There is little possibility Of cooler
weather tomorrow. The country is
baked dry and blowing is very diff
cult. Farmers say it cannot be
pushed until rain comes. Lawns and
shade trees are showing the effects Of
the severe heat and people are weary
and cross.

Jack Williams, a Salina man who
shot at another man and did not hi,
him, has been hiding out in the corn
fields near New Cambria. Papers
which have written him up as a

fun later on.
There is no assessment in the A..
0. U. W. for September, which is
further evidence that the classified
plan is right. All lodges in the State
are gaining new members every
month. The last report shows that
there are over $4,000 members in
good standing in this jurisdiction
and 1898 in the United States.

A party of the young crowd
went boat riding last week. They
had had very pleasant ride and were
leaving the boats and preparing to
start home when an accident occurred
that might not have been funny.
One OF the boys decided to land his
best girl high and dry, and jumping
from the boat gave the chain ter
rifle yank. When he jumped he fail
ed to noticed that his b. g. was
standing up in the back end Of the
boat eating watermelon. 1t is need
less to say that the girl took a dive
into the Smoky that she and the
rest of the party will not forget
soon. The boys claim that the young
man who yanked the chain has been
getting a cold shoulder decidedly
more frigid than the ice he has been
handling all summer

THAT TENNIS TOURNEY.
Abilene Was the Winner Of the
Lively Contest.

/

evening, a large number ofspectators
being present. Enterprise was repre-.

by W. A. Matteson, W. Sterl, Rev.
DR.. Blayney, L. G. Humbargar, J. D.
Riesen, G. H. Forney, Geo. Stoddard.
The visitors put up an excellent game
and the playing was spirited. Abb
lene was the winner both in singles
and doubles by the following score:
Doubles-Blayney and Humbargar
beat E. Hoffman and Latte, 60, 6-S;
Matteson and Forney beat R. and r.
Hoffman rs, 6-1; Riesen and Sterl
beat G. B. Hoffman and Ehrsam 6 2,
60.
Singles. -Matteson beat R. Hoffman
60, 60; Blayney beat Latte rs, 81;
Riesen beat E. Hoffman 90, 6-1; G..
Forney beat T. Hoffman SO, 90, Ga;
Sterl beat Ehrsam, 90, 60; Stoddard
beat c. B. Hoffman 6.3, 6.S. The
Forney-T. Hoffman contest was the
finest playing Of the day.
The Enterprise players were handi-
capped because they had been accus-
toned to playing in courts in which
the service line was three feet farther
from the net than in Abilene's regula-
ton courts, making it difficult for
them to get their swift serves inside
the service court.
G. B. Hoffman rather surprised
the boys by his active playing. 1t is
unusual to see man in his 4Sth year
displaying gymnastic qualities as
shown by Mr.. Hoffman. 1t was a
pleasure to have him participate in
the contest.
After the games the Abilene players
entertained the visitors at supper at
the Central hotel. 1t was very
pleasant occasion and another meet
ing is looked forward to with'interest.
