announcement of The Youths Compan-

nearly two hundred story-writers con-
tribute to the paper, but many of the

scholars, sailors, soldiers and travellers,
including three members of the Presi-

the Secretary of the Navy will tell
"How Jack Lives" Julian Ralph, the
famous war correspondent, will des-
cribe ''How Men Feel in Battle" and
Winston Spencer Churchill, NJ. p,
whose daring escape from Boer prison

Junk" a book to stagger sorrow,
which the c. NJ. Clark Publishing Com
pany will bring out on Nov. 18th, was
sent in proof sheets to certain editor
few days ago. 1t did not reach him
at his office. He was in jail, for ten
days, for libel. Although feeling rather
annoyed at his fate. after he had read
the unique verses and looked over the
humorous illustrations which consti-
tute this book called Junk he was
very much cheered thereby and wrote
the author, Mr.. Lempert, that he would
show his gratitude by printing concern
ing the book, as soon as he was out of
Jail, anything that he (the author)
chose to write. The following is part
of what Mr.. Lempert wrote:
The judge gave Murphy twenty days
In Jail, for getting gay,
And says Murphy, GLOW in blazes
Will pass the time away?
For thinking of my troubles
And with nothing else to do,
Each day that am in the coop
will seem as long as twO."
So when he went to jail and saw
The Jaller pass his door,
| He said ''Dear Mr.. Jailer
| l was never here before,
And my heart is full of sadness
| And my eyes are on the weep
| SO pipe me off a lullaby
And help me go to Sleep
Said the tender-hearted taller,
| With twinkle in his eye,
whats the use in doing sleeping stunts
70 make the moments fly?
| There's book upon the market
| That I'll send and get for you,
For hear it is cure for weeps
| AND StaggerS sorrow, too
So he bought "Junk'' for Murphy
And Murphy's sadness fled;
He sat up all night reading it
And never went to bed;
| His sorrow vanished in the air,
His weeps were drained away,
And Mr.. Murphy's happiness
Increased from day to day.

An English Author Wrote:

'sNo shade, no shine, no fruit, no flowers
no eaves,-Novemher" Many Americans
would add no. freedom from catarrA, which is
so aggravated during this month that it be-
comes constantly troublesome. There is
abundant proof that catarrh is constitu.
tional disease. 1t is related to scrofula ana
consumption, being one of the wasting dis.
eases. Hoods Sarsaparlla has shown that
what is capable of eradicating scrofula
completely cures catarrh and taken in time
prevents consumption. We cannot see how
any sufferer can put off taking this medi-
cine, in view of the widely published
record of its radical and permanent cures.
1t is undoubtedly Americas Greatest Medi-

Consul Norton at Harput reports that
American sewing machines are going
off like hot cakes in Eastern Turkey,
where they have just been placed on
sale for the first time. One agent has
sold 300 machines in fifteen months in
the consular district of which Harput
is the headquarters. Lightness, adapt
ability to a variety of operations, and
cheapness are the qualities which have
enabled these machines to drive out the
German machines in that section of the
world.

We hear great deal of foolish talk
nowadays about the possible harm from
drinking coffee, and the market is full
of unwholesome and cheap substitutes
for coffee. If the coffee you drink
dosen't agree with you don't condemn
all coffee. Roasted grain favored with
chicory may have patent-medicine
virtue, and it can be made to taste like
coffee, but it has nothing of the flavor
nor the wholesome value as morning
beverage which is found in pure coffee.
If you want to be absolutely safe, ask
your grocer to get you the extra high
grade coffee imported by Chase & San
born. They are the largest distributors
of fine cOffees in the world.

ty per acre in the productions of
the farm. The grand exhibit
each year will be a kind of object
lesson, showing the increasing
intelligence of the average far
mer in the matter of adoption of
crops to soil and climate, the
best and most improved imple-
ments of agriculture and how to
get the largest returns from least
expenditure of time, money and
labor.
'The Fair is a very democratic
institution. 1t is not monopo-
lied by rich and the aristocratic.
The plain, modest farmer who
tills so or so acres has as free
access as more pretentious far
mer who cultivates hundreds of
acres, and he is just as welcome
1t is this feature that forms one

county fair and makes it SO gen
orally popular. 1t is altogether
fitting that a great agricultural
and stock raising county should
give annual exhibits of it's fruit
fulness and progress, and moth
ing is SO well adapted for this
purpose as the old fashioned
County Fair. 1t not only brings
glory and recognition of the
progress to our county, but adds
to the grandeur of the great
State of Kansas.
That the people of Barton
county understand and appreci-
ate the many advantages to be
derived from these annual exhib-
itions was proved by the most
| liberal attendance at the first
meeting, last year. The board
of managers of the Association

took great many risks in the
first meeting; they were in doubt.
about whether the people would
give it the patronage that it
must have in order to pay out.
But all such doubts were soon
dispelled, and the Association
was enabled to pay every purse
and premium offered, and still
had money left to continue inn
provements of the grounds. Such
improvements are being made.
More buildings, stalls, etc. are
being erected and the grounds
put in better shape. No man is
in the association for an individ-
ual money making purpose; every
dollar will be spent in fixing
more firmly this practical and
most sensible institution for the
betterment of our county and its
people. as outlined above.
The field of speed horses will
this year be the largest ever
known in this part of Kansas.
The Great Bend track has got
the reputation among horsemen
of being the fastest in the west,
and owners of good trotters and
runners are coming with their
stock to try it where it can do
it's best.
A comparison of the. list of
premiums offered in the Barton
County Fair, with lists from sur
rounding counties, shows that
our Association offers much bet
ter premiums than their neigh
bors, and we can assure you
that every dollar will be paid
and every pledge redeemed.
People of neighboring towns
and Communities may rest as
sured that they will be taken
care of when they come to the
Fair. Our hotel and restaurant
facilities are equal to any num-
bers who may attend, and the
proprietors thereof will not look
upon the occasion as one in
which they can "hog things" but
will treat all visitors as welcome
guests.
Come to the Barton County
Fair and enjoy yourselves. Come
prepared to see a good exhibit
ion of the products of our county
exciting races and games; amuse-
ment and good cheer, and an
all around Kansas welcome.

abandon this year will be care

Great Bend before.
What the County Fair is, and

Secretary Stephens of State organiza-

(2).-Some of the most prominent men
and women in the state belonging to all
political parties are members Of its ex-
ecutiVe committee. The question of pol
tiles per Sc is never considered in max
ing choice of members OF this commit
tee, but simply the character and high
standing of the individual Well-knoWn
Republicans, such as q. W. Hoch, J. w
Gleed, and G. F. Scott; well known Pop
ulsts, such as John w. Breidenthal, Mrs.
Annie L Diggs, and Judge A W. Denni-
son; Well-knOWn Independent voters and
Third party PrOhibitionists, such as
Horace Hurley, Rev. Charles M Sheldon
and Mrs M. r. Hewett, have all worked
together in perfect harmony toward one
common object-the temperance educa-
ton of the people and the maintenance
and enforcement OF the prohibitory law.
t5)--Durlng the past year the Union
has had three field lectures regularly at
work-an working in harmony in non
partisan effort, although one was an
avowed Republican. another an avowed
Third party Prohibitionist, and the third
avowedly independent in politics. The
question of party affiliation cuts abso-
lutely no figure in the choice Of the

and his services would be Immediately
dispensed with. Our lecturers are as
jealous Of the observance of this rule as
is the executive committee
(D--Since the Issue, the organ Of the
Union was first started in 1898 it has
had an average monthly circulation of
over 10,0 600, but not line of partisan pol

(6).-The present secretary has been
officially connected with the Union over
five years, but during all this period of
time not an officer Of the Union, or a
single member Of the executive commit
tee, has ever suggested to him or even
limited how he ought to vote. Had his
liberty in this respect been at any time
in the least abridged, he would have i'm
mediately resigned his Office. There is
not the slightest ground for questioning
the Unions absolutely non partisan
character.

PASSES TEN THOUSAND
Registration Boom Continues in
Spite of Bad Weather.

The registration passed the ten thou
sand mark today. The commissioner of
elections expects to have more than TO-
500 names on the books by o'clock to-
night There are three more days in
which to register, and the voters are
rushing in. The storm today did not
stop the rush, continual stream of
people poured into the commissioner s
office all day.
It is evident from the interest the peo-
pie are taking in registering that there
will be more votes cast this year than
there were two years ago. The Repub-
1ican and Democratic committees are
both working, and then the average citi-
zen who takes an interest in the bond
question is on hand. The bond question
is probably responsible for a large part

Engine Rolled Down an Embark
ment But No One Was Hurt

The Junction City local passenger
train No. 5 on the Union Pacific, which
leaves Topeka west bound at 6:25, was
derailed near st. Marys last night.
The engine left the track first and
turned over once in rolling down the
embankment- The baggage car and the
smoker both left the rails and bumped
along on the ties for quite distance, but
did not leave the roadbed.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Curtin and Engineer Smith No lives
were lost and no one was seriously in
jured Engineer Smith suffered a slight
scratch across one cheek It was not
deep and will soon heal.
The accident was responsible for tear
ing up the track for distance of about
100 feet, and it Is nearly impossible to
discover the cause of the wreck. At
least the blame had not been placed at
o'clock this afternoon.
Trains were not delayed, as the Rock
Island tracks were used between Man
haitian and Topeka.
