The management of the late jubilee,
is 10 be congratulated on the success OF
this enterprise in bringing to the city an
assembly Of musical experts from Mis-
souri, and other States, and distinguished
celebrities in music and song from the
great metropolitan cities of the East,
The good people of Hutchinson cannot
place too high an estimate on the i'm
portance of this annual assembly to our
social standing abroad and assured
prosperity in the future.
The people who become interested
and are prompt in their attendance on
jubilee are invariably among the best
people in the community where they re-
side. Refinement and culture in all
other particulars 60, as general thing
with the taste for and knowledge of mu-
sic, The jubilee association is fixture
in Hutchinson, and we have no reason
to doubt that each succeeding assembly
will be an. improvement on the last,
Nothing at the jubilee was Of greater
interest to all the people than the con.
test between the ladies' chorus of
Hutchinson and the male chorus apollo
Club Of Wichita. The ladies were
first to appear on the stage, to the num-
Der of thrty-elght, all tastefully dressed
and of exceptional beauty, on the aver
age. Their prompter had them well
in hand and all of them acquitted them.
selves admirably, Hutchinson may we'll
be proud Of the musical talent found in
every home, and particularly proud of its
ladies' chorus,
The Apollo Club was not quite so
large in numbers us the ladies' chorus,
but finer looking body of men are
rarely met with, and the music they
gave us will be the talk of the town for
year. They closed with "Old Ken
ucky Home" That had response in
every heart that delights in the pleasing
memories and home life of their youth.
1t is difficult to believe that a better
rendition Of that ever popular old song
could be given by any collection of in
dividuals anywhere than was given by
the Appollo Club Of Wichita. We hope
to see their faces at each succeeding
jubilee. In this connection we want to
suggest to the ladies' chorus that they
too give to the people at the next an
nual gathering, "The Old Kentucky
Home" That is something we can all
understand and appreciate.
The judges Of the various contests, no
doubt had an embarrassing task before
them, but they appreciated with salts
faction that they were dealing with la
dies and gentlemen who would subscribe
cheerfully to their judgment without
thought of complaining.
Professor Hoagland and his associates
in the management, should have the
thanks of all who are interested in
Hutchinson.

A Remarkable Case.

Wolfersberger child Of Ave, G. East to
Mrs. Rupert. This child was one of the

dreadful suffering to the child. But
evidently not knowing what the trouble
was it had been allowed to proceed till
almost the entire lower jaw bone had
rotted away It was so loathsome and
offensive that It's care was dreadful
charge. Mrs, Rupert took the child to
Chrlsts hospital in Topeka and had 1t
operated on by DR.. McClintock, The
case was so loathsome that the operat-
ing physician had to be carried out
twice during the operation. The en-
tire jaw bone up TO the sockets OF the
teeth had to be removed. This in
cluded both sides OF the face. II was
then carefully scraped and new bone
has been grated on until now the child
is recovering nicely. The shape OF the
jaw even is being preserved in good
form and there will be no very bad
scar, 1t has now so far recovered as to
be able to bite through piece OF dry
bread.
The child is still in the hospital, but
the commissioners have settled with
Mrs. Rupert for sIoo. which under the
circumstances Is a very low and chari-
table charge,
Last week the commissioners also
turned over to Mrs, Rupert another
child about FIVE years old who has little
use of his lower extremities. The child
has been at the poor farm for some time
and the commissioners think II better
from financial as well as humane
standpoint to spend a little money in
expert treatment to some such cases
rather than have them remain inde6-
nitely charge on the county. In this
they will be supported by all citizens

to last till other and better trees get big
enough to answer all purposes. The
female tree is not needed to furnish
seed and as yet this is not a cotton
country The same may be said Of mul-

Love lies asleep. WfaE dreams be round him

; Poets may guess.
But he is tired Of hope and fear, Of longing.
OF passions stress
Tired, through long years, from the worlds firgt
beginning;
Too tired to wake
At wealth's loud call, at beauty's whisper, wiD'
ming
Or answer make,
Though king command and minstrel. In true
meter,
Plead, praise and weep
Than anything on earth, ah, rest Is sweeteri
Love lies asleep.

closes,
Barefoot, yet gay, i
Clothed with scarce else than garland wells OF
roses,
Sweet beggars, they
Full q healths bliss, Of life, Of joy, immortal,
Untouched by sin,
Who know not why they sing beside loves portal
Till love joins in.

CUT OUT BACKBONE.
Doctors Remove Part of Fractured vertebra from Young Man and
 Patient Lives.

As the result of an extraordinary operation Benjamin Coneau, of As toria, whose back was broken on June 5 in Wards shipyards, is not only still alive in St. John's hospital, Long Is land City, but is recovering the use of his lower limbs, which were paralyzed by the injury. At 1o:3o a. m. the other day Coneau was placed on the operat- ing table, which had been specially prepared.
 An incision four inches long was made in the median line of the back It was found that the lamina of the fifth dorsal vertebra was fractured close to the spinous processes, which was pressing on the spinal cord A portion of the bone was removed and more of the displaced bone drawn to- gether to knit.
 He was then removed to water bed, and is resting easily and comfortably. By the afternoon sensation had re- turned to his limbs and he was able to move his toes and the muscles of his legs. The control and sensation were in weak form, but the doctors hope for the best. Coneau is of a cheerful disposition and jokes over his condi- tion.

HOT WEATHER SENSE.

Walk slowly.
 Carry a sun umbrella if it adds to your comfort.
 Follow the shady side of the street where possible.
 Don't eat heartily of meats-it is like putting coal in the furnace.
 Don't hurry. There is more 'sheat- ing up'' in three minutes of haste than in an hour of leisurely proceed ing.
 Cut the acquaintance of the ther- mometer. Discourage talk about the weather, and if you must think of it think of .Reary!
 In torrid weather wear clothing suitable to torrid climate-as light and as little as the conventions and circumstances will permit.
 Free precipitation seldom hurts any one. The pores are natures safety valves. It is "dry heat' or the sud- den checking of the sweat that is dangerous.
 Don't drink scool' alcoholic bever- ages under the idea that they will re- duce your temperature or that of the atmosphere. You are simply adding fuel to the fire. Paradoxical though it may sound, hot drinks are in the end often more cooling than cold drinks

county bounties have caused his ex- termination in many places. Many thousand dollars have been paid by each county for lion scalps, and at $2o per head hunters have found it profit able business, some of them in times past killing a score of lions in weeks time, and a total of over $10O,00O has been paid in Arizona for scalps in the last ten years. Hundreds of lions, though, have been shot by cattle, horse and sheep men who have not claimed the bounties, taking as their rewards the fact that they have disposed of the cause of the slaughter of their calves, colts and lambs.
 While the lions have grown less common in the southern part of the territory, there has been no percep- tible decrease in their numbers in the wilder northern regions. Sheepmen in the San Francisco mountains have complained of late that the lions are killing off their lambs in such numbers that their raids were proving ruinous to the sheep industry. Warden Me Carty has taken the matter in hand and organized the hunting party.

Can Produce Superb Pearls.

Walter Voorhees,, a chemist, of Buchanan, Mich, has discovered a process of making large and beautiful pearls from the most common clam shells. He has been experimenting with the clans for years, and the won derful discovery, which promises to make him immensely, wealthy, is the result.
 MT. Voorhees, was in Benton Harbor recently and exhibited some of the pearls he had developed in clans found in the bed of the St. Joseph river
 Voorhees, process lies in inserting a small hard substance in certain part of the clam and then returning it to the water. Here the clam remains fer from three to five years, when it is re- moved and the pearl extracted. The chemist naturally refuses to divulge the full particulars of the remarka ble discovery made by him.
