Golden Wedding Anniversary.

The following from the Winfield,
Kansas, Courier, will be Of interest to
many old residents of Barton county
who knew intimately the aged couple.
Rev. Hayes and wife are the parents
of Will E. Hayes OF this city.
"On Wednesday evening in the M
E. college chapel, Rev. and Mrs. VIM.
Hayea celebrated their golden wed.
ding anniversary. Their friends led
by the pastor Rev. 81. j. Deuker had
planned delightful surprise for the
aged couple which consisted not only
of a pleasant evening of songs and
addresses, but better still of purse
containing fifty dollars in gold. II
ming and Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes C me
over to meeting as usual, entirely I'm
suspecting. The front part of the
chapel was beautifully decorated with
blooming plants, cosy chairs, rugs and
cushions. giving to the platform a
parlor effect. Two large rockers were
reserved tor the bride and groom of
fifty years, and while Miss Lucy Nc
Mullen played beautiful march, they
were escorted to their seats by Rev.
and Mrs. w. 81. Rose. Rev. D. w.
Phillips offered prayer, after which
Mrs, T. E. Hinshaw sang the vocal
solo, "Abide With Me-" with much
feeling. This seemed 80 appropri-
ate and Mrs. Hindsbaw's full rich
voice was we'll suited to the selec'
ton. A piano solo by Miss Bertha
Corley was we'll rendered and Miss
Gould gave a reading appropriate to
the occasion. The browning event
of the program however, was an ad-
dress by Rev. John B. Smith. He
spoke of the fifty years of happy we'd
ded life which had been the good !
fortune of Father and Mother Hayes,
of their extended honeymoon, OF the
continuous and harmonious chime of
wedding bells which had never sound
ed one note of discord during the long
period Of years, then he closed his re-
marks by presenting Father Hayes
with purse containing fifty gold
dollars, as token Of esteem in which
he is held by his friends and neigh
bors. Letters of congratulation were
read from different pastors in the con.
ference, who had assisted in contribut
ing toward this fund. The exercises
closed with social half hour, and
many were the sincere wishes of a
host of friends that Mr.. and Mrs.
Hayes might yet see many more happy
anniversaries of their wedding day"

EDITOR DEMocRAr:
DEAR SIR,
In a recent issue of your paper
l noticed you urged the citizens of your
town to clean up their rubbish. think
you are right in SO doing; it improves
the looks of a town and also makes it
more healthy; keep right on insisting
on them to scrape up all the filth and
trash they can find; there is plenty of
room to dump all of it just south of the
side would like to have something new
to look at; we are tired of looking at
old tin cans. rags, old buggy tops and
ten thousand other things; we are get
ting tired of smelling dead dogs; tired
of smelling the off-fall of your poultry
slaughter houses, also decayed vegeta-
ton. We can, and have stood this
for years. but we, want change.
South Bend townshship may elect a
township board some day with sore
eyes and weak stomach that can't
bear the sight nor smell of the scrap.
ings of your city; and then the line will
be drawn,
So you see necessity of urging those
who haven't yet cleaned their yards
and hen.houses. Yes bring your trash
across the bridge and dump it; we are
meek and mild dispositioned people
over here; we won't say one word
against it; all we ask is protection
from your city. If our whiskers and
clothes get scented with the oder that
arises from the slime and filth we
don't want the health officers to think
we are effected with any contagious
disease and run US off to the pest
house, and quarantine US.
This has been late spring. and we
are busy now, and we ask the protec-
ton of your city council in this matter.
We like to trade in your city. and will
as long as we can wade through; Blu,
when the road is entirely blocked
please send my mail to Ellinwood, as
that will be my nearest trading point.
With these few suggestions.

RODE AWAY ON
A FRIENDS BIKE
When the Borrower Came Back
He Was SoundIy
Thrashed.

The fellow who "borrows" and uses
another mans bicycle because he finds
it leaning up against the curb while
the owner is getting a shave or doing
a little shopping, should heed the ex-
perience of borrower yesterday af-
ternoon. A young man employed In
Fort street store rode up in front
after noon, and. leaving his wheel
braced against the stone curbfng, went
inside for a shave. In about five min
utes a clerk in Hotel street cloth
ing establishment came along andses-
pied the wheel of his friend" He at
once bestrode it and was about TO ped
al away when one of the bootblacks
called to him to stop. The knight or
the brush said the wheel belonged to
man inside the shop. The borrower
said: That's all right-he's a friend
of mine, and / am just going to take
a little spin While he's taking it easy
Without more ado he rode away. The
owner came out of the shop in ten
minutes and was surprised to find his
steed missing. He made inquiries,
and the shoe polisher told him that a
a friend of his had borrowed it. The
owner said something about not run
ming a philanthropic bike repository,
and went inside the shop to await the
return of the borrower" The latter
came back in half an hour and was
reminded of his indiscretions by being
made use of as "a street sweep for
about three minutes. He hardly knew
what struck him, but when he picked
| himself up from the pavement. the
friend from whom he had borrowed
the bicycle had gone and so had the

delivered by natives and responses were
made by Judge Taft, the president Of
the commission. Prof Worcester Gen.
Flores, Chief Justice Arellano and DIR.
TaVera, president Of the Federal party.
The natives repeatedly declared the peo-
pie were beginning to understand the
purposes Of the Americans, adding that
the commissioners acts show that their
promises would be kept.
Judge Taft told the people of the towua
in Bulcan province that a provincial gov
ernment will shortly be established
there

Fernando, passed under an arch Of well

driven to Bacolor, capital of the province
of Pampanga, where they will be cordf-
ally entertained tomorrow and until ap-

sion of the law enacted.
