TOLD IN A LINE.

Kansas leads. According to the cen
sus figures the population and enroll
ment ID all the elementary and second
airy common schools in Missouri, Kan
sas and Oklahoma last year were as
follows: Observation-Disclosures 3,106.-
665; pupils enrolled, 1851; percen-
tage Of population, 2317. Kansas-Pop-
ulatiOn, LAC, 495; pupils enrolled, 3S9.-
583; percentage Of population, 26.49.
OklahOma-POpUlation, 398,245; pupils
enrolled, $4,000; percentage Of pOpula-
ton. 25.O2.
The total acreage Of prairie dog
town IN this state, according to the
returns to the state agricultural col
lege, is about 100000. The college as
sumes that there Is a population Of 80
dogs TO the acre and that the prairie
dog population is at least 100000.
The United States government is be-
ginning experiments along the same
lines and viii cooperate with Kansas
in the efforts to rid the state Of the
animals. Chemical liquids that can be
poured down the holes is probably the
way out Of the difficulty.
The editor of the Clyde Republican
publishes a vegetable poem. It is said
to have been inspired by a cOnsign-
ment of garden seed from the member
of congress from that district. Here
is the first staDza, the others are worse:
A potato went mash,
And sought onion bed,
That's pie for me-, observed the squash,
And all the beetS turned red.
'GO away" the onion, weeping. cried,
Your love cannot be;
The pumpkin Is your lawful bride,
You cantaloupe with me-"
The ballots to be voted this fall will
have pictures on them. They will be
in the nature of an illustrated edition
The pictures will be the official en-
blems of the parties. The republican
emblem is an eagle with wings out
spread. The pOpu!ists have q cottage,
two stories and basement, light airy
rooms and suitable for light or heavy
housekeeping. No dog is in sight nor
is any smoke rising from the chimney.
The prohibition emblem is a marine
scene, done in black and white. There
is a stretch of water in the foreground
and at one side, close down, is the sun.
The lettering underneath states that
the sun is rising. The democratic en-
blem has not been officially selected

Two Crops a Year.

R. l. Peters, who lives 10 miles north
of Goodland, brought bundle of bar
ley to The Republic Office last Satur-
day. The tallest stalks were 80 inches
long and it was all headed out and
filed and the leaves we're broad and
green. He reported that this was q
volunteer second crop on the same
piece of ground this season. He said
that he had Il acres of barley that
stood four feet high When the dry
weather came on it was we'll headed
out, but the drought and grasshoppers
came and fearing that he might loose
the crop he cut it early for hay. Before
getting around to put it up it got very
dry aud shelIed badly, completely
seeding the ground. The rains came
on and the field was soon green with
growing grain and the sheaf brought
in was fair sample u the field. Mr..
Peters thinks Il the warm weather
continues q week OF ten dsys longer he
| will harvest a fiue second crop.
Other farmers In the county shave
reported raising the seDJns crop on tbs
same piece of ground thl7 t-~ SIR.
/ Fox says that he raised two crGpr IF
/ both millet and cane and =. :. oore

Ten New Commandments.

L Thou shalt not go away from
home to do thy trading, nor thy son
nor thy daughter.
IL Thou shalt patronize thy home
merchants and thy home printer, for
yea, verify, doth thy home printer
spread over the glad tidings of thy
goodness and greatness and they shall
patronize&hee.
III. Thou shalt employ thy own me-
chanics, that they may not be driven
from their homes to find bread for
their little ones. Thou shalt also con
slider him thy neighbor, above all, that
dwelleth in a strange town.
". Thou shalt not ask for credit as
goods cost much money and the mer-
chants brain is burdened with bills.
His children elamor daily for bread,
and his wife abideth at home for lack
of such raiment as adorneth her sister.
Blessed yea, thrice blessed, is the man
that pays cash.
V. Thou shalt not ask for reduced
prices for thine "infiuence," for guile is
is in thine heart, and the merchant
readeth it like a book. He laugheth
thee to scorn, and shouteth to his
clerks, "Ha, ha!'
VI. Thou shalt do whatever lieth in
thy power to encourage and promote
the welfare of thine own town and
thine own people.
VII. Thou shalt not suffer the voice
of pride to overcome thee. and if other
towns entice thee, consent thou not,
for thou mayest be deceived.
VIII Thou shalt spend thine earn
ings at home. that they may return
from whence they came, and give nour-
ishment to such as may come after
thee.
TX. Thou shalt not bear false Wit
ness against the town wherein thou
dwelleth, but speak well OF it to all
men.
x. Thou shalt keep these command
ments and teach them to thy children
even unto the third and fourth gener
atoms. that they be made to flourish
and grow IN plenty when thou art LAID
to rest with thy fathers.-M1scotat

IT WAS AN ANNIVERSARY.
AIr.and Mrs.C.E.swarts Entertain Last Fri
day Night-Guests Were Not Aware oft
Being Their Wedding Anniversary


Early last week invitations were out
announcing that Mr.. and Mrs. G. E.
Swarts would entertain at their home
Friday evening. Mrs. J. Richardson,
of Pueblo, was in the city for a visit
with her sister, Mrs. Swarts, and the
recipients of the invitations supposed
the gathering was to be in her honor.
The guests began to arrive at the
Swarts residence about eight o'clock
and Mrs. Richardson assisted Mr.. and
Mrs. Swarts in receiving.
The parlor ceiling was decorated
with hangings of white and silver,
together with wreaths of smilax and
over the double door leading to the
sitting room was a festoOn with "1876-
1901" at either end and an oval wreath
in the center surrounding the photo,
graphs of Mr.. and Mrs. Swarts, the
wedding couple of % years ago. So it
was a silver wedding with the silver
left out
About . couples were present and
the evening was pleasantly passed in
conversation, games and music. At
1870 o'clock an elegant lunch was
served in the rooms of the Round
Table club in the Exchange bank build
ing. The tables were decorated with
cut flowers, and Mrs. r. J. Jones and
Mrs. Hoyt Andrews assisted Mr.. and
Mrs. Swarts with the courses. The
guests we're surprised to find that the
reception was an anniversary, and later
presented Mr.. and Mrs. SWarts with a
beautiful silver punch bowl, appropri-
ateIy inscribed.

80 nIethod Ii Duck Hnntinr.

Fireman G. II. Albrecht vas down to
the Smoky last week and returned
with u fine ducks. The query was how
he succeeded so well. One Of the best
shots in the country investigated the
method employed by Albrecht. He
found that he took a shotgun and
plenty Of ammunition; and that besides
this equipment he took a fishing pole
and line and q quantity Of shelled corn.
The theory developed from these in
vestigations was that Albrecht baited
the hook with corn, caught the ducks
foul and then shot them. Others, how
ever, believe the process was the re-
verse; that he shot the ducks first and
with the piscatory tackle hauled them
ashore. But this does not account for
the corn.

CAUGHT BETWEEN BUMPERS.
Albert Ford = Tramp, Has Hfs FEET

A MUSICAL TREAT.
PetrOWitch Bissing, ViOIinist, and Anna
Beatrice Harris Vocalist, Come TO Good
land for q Concert Next Wednesday.

Beatrice Harris, Vocalist, Come to Good
land for Concert Next Wednesday.
PetrOwitch Kissing, the great Rus
sian viOlinist, assisted by Anna Bea-
trice Harris, vocalist, will give a concert
at the opera house Wednesday evening,
October 80. This means a great deal
TO lovers Of good music, and is an op-
portunity that is seldom presented to
the people Of Goodland.
Prof. Kissing is warmly recommend
ed as a solOist by Francois Baucher,
the renowned French violinist, with
whom Kissing has studied. The SsIina
Daily Republican says Of Prof. Kissing,
who recently gave q concert there:
"When he made his appearance before
a Salins audience they thought him
an ordinary violinist, but it was only
for q few moments that this opinion
existed, for as soon as he touched his
bow to the strings and brought forth q
few strains, the audience beheld Prof.
Kissing no more, for they were alb
sorbed by his magic touches and be-
held only the artist before them"
Anna Beatrice Harris divides honors
with Prof. Kissing wherever they sp-
pear. Miss Harris has studied with
Prof. n. A. Krantz, graduate in singing
from the Royal Conservatory of Music,
Stockholm, Sweden, who says: "Miss
Harris is an accomplished singer; is the
possessor of q sweet soprano voice,
having studied with me the method Of
the old italian school Of singing"
The programme speaks well as to the
ability Of both Prof. Kissing and Miss
Harris, and is suited to the tastes OF
those that appreciate the higher class
of music as well as those that prefer
selections that are not too deep. Gen
eral admission will be % cents, and
reserved seats % cents. Tickets are
on sale at The Republic Office.
