In the great yachting event of the
year the cup challenger and the cup
defender seem to be having equally
hard luck. In the trial of the two
ShamrOcks the new one seemed to be
inferior to the old and finally in one
of the trials carried away all of her
top hamper, necesitating postpon-
ment in the time set for the race. And
now comes another Englishluan who
who says he thinks he has boat SUI
perior to either of the Shamrocks and
wants into the game. In the mean
time the new boat on this side built to
defend the cup seems to be having al
most as bad luck. She has met with
sever al minor accidents and in the
first trial race with the winner of last
years race was beaten. The news
paper tell us that she met with an ac-
cident, having carried away the clew
on her jib which caused her to lose
time. 1t will take further trials to
demonstrate her superiority.

A leading republican editor of this
state recently stated that strikes were
an evidence of prosperity. The work

assertion must feel highly gratifed at
the multiplying evidences of prosper

label their editorials as comic. A

The daily papers state that Superin-
tendent Church has called on the pros
ecuting attorney of Shawnee county
and asked him to dismiss the suits
pending against fifty five insurance
companies for belonging to trust.
Nichols is also reported to have re-
fused and to have further stated tn at
he proposed to push the fight. The
question naturally arises as to whom
Church is working for, the people or
the insurance companies.

We have recently been sweltering
under what seemed to be very hot
weather yet it is to be noticed that
with the thermometer hanging around
the 100 mark no fatalities have been
reported, while in the east many have
succumbed to the intense heat although
the thermometer has not registered as
high by several degrees. The fact is
that the high altitude, strong winds
and extreme dryness of our atmos-
phere make a difference of at least ten
degrees in the heat effects so that 100
degrees of heat here is not as serious
as 80 on the coast.

quently will be compelled to advance
rates. They continue to pile up big
surplus just the same.

WHAT ARE YOUR CHILDREN READ
ING2


thunder stories in them; stories of
three fingered Jack and Bill the Kid;
stories of train robbery, safe breaking
of hold ups in the dark, and of
various deeds of crime, and murder?
We are told, as man thinketh, 80
he doeth, as a man readeth, 30 he
thinketh. Parents can not be too
watchful over the books their children
read for they have q tendency in
making them good men or bad men,
good boys or bad boys, yes, good girls
or bad girls.
The penitentiaries, reform schools
and insane asylums are filled with
impure, unwholesome literature.
We don't see so much of this in
the country as We do in the city, and
thanks for this. The cities are the
hot bed of vice, anarchism and ruin,
whose hand is against all Government
and all good.
Good books can be bought at the
present time for mere song, every
household can have them and be
made better by them. They should
be read aloud in the long winter
evenings at tie Preside and the
better thoughts instilled into the
mind.
For S15 you can get of us %
volumes of the encyclopedias Bri-
tanicia. For Is cents you can get
some of the best books published and
: for prices ranging from 10 cents to
SO cents in ss nice a bound volumes
as you could wish.
Whenever you come to town,
won't you take home a book or two?
It will be the best investment you
can make. And then to satisfy the
-, boys and girls when they get tired
reading, put in some musical instru'
ment and let them while the hours
away in pleasure for you as well as
themselves.
We keep all kind of musical in
struments and at reasonable prices.
And while you are looking over
the books and mdsical instruments,
please step little farther and look
over our nice furniture, that We can
sell you cheap, or carpets, curtains,
rugs or wall paper.
Possibly the time has come when
you would like to change the old
cook stove for new one and you
would like to get the Garland at prices
that will suit you. We haze them.
You can not play or read in the
long winter evenings without being
warm and if you get the Genuine
Beckwith Round Oak heating stove
you will find it as comfortab bic in
your room as in a summers day.
Then it will be of SO much pleasure
to you, after resting your eyes from
reading or playing, to look on the
wall aud see the nice pictures or en-
JOY nice parlor game, many of
which We sell very cheap.
Of course We can eat in the old
original way. with our fingers with
out knives, forks or dishes, but now.

when dishes can be sold for So, SO

1t is not just simply an ornament
to wear a watch. but it is business TO
