party or parties who recently set

Der of the best dogs in the city.
The. penalty for this crime is pun

ought to make the matter very i'm
pressive upon the guilty parties
should they be convicted.

J. E. George, prominent bust
ness men of Liberal, and one of the
stockholders of the Liberal Bank,
was transacting business in Beaver
Monday. He stated that over $1,000
worth of town lots had been sold at
Guymon, the new town on the Rock
Island railroad in this county. Cor
ner business lots sell at $3.50 each.
There will be bank established at
the new town as soon as the bank
building which is being constructed
is completed. Mr.. George thinks
Guymon will make a good business
point. -. 1t is reported that Elery
Cooper, formerly of Beaver but now
a member of the firm, Fick-Roberts

E. C. Kilborn informed US Tues
day that he has trouble with the
grasshoppers down at his place and
that he would like about 200 turkeys
to pasture for about month. He
says he must get rid of them some
way. We have been thinking of a
scheme, and as the state does not
provide any means of getting rid of
these pests, we thought that the Fish
Warden might take herd of the
lobos down there and see if he could
not train them to eat Mr.. Kilborn's
grasshoppers- This is merely sug-
gestion we offer which might prove
very valuable if thoroughly tested.

The rain Monday night improved
conditions very much, so we expect
good work on the part of everyone
connected with the institute.
A number of advanced pupils are
in attendance and their work is very
satisfactory. We wish more of this
class of students would attend.
While the institute was originated
for teachers, the course has been
prepared in such way that any ad-
vanced pupil from the common
schools will find it about the same
as academic, or college work.
The instructors, Mr.. Dawson and
Mr.. Baugher, will willingly and
cheerfully assist or advise anyone in
the institute at any time. The OBJ
ject is to make this session the most
profitable ever held in the county.
A large number of teachers who
should be in attendance have not
enrolled. BY all means you should
come in and begin next Monday.
Do not stay out another day. You
cannot afford to miss the remainder
of the term.
The county superintendent, Miss
Martin, will carry all grades of 90
or more of active teachers, who at
tend normal every day, attend the
teachers associations, and take read
ing circle work. This is not requir-
ing too much. and every progressive
teacher should take advantage of
this arrangement.
We are needing the microscope
that belongs to the high school
pupils. 1t has been taken from the
building since scoool closed, for
some purpose, and we wish the par
ties would return it Immediately in
order that we may use it.

If this paper ever ''stole" any
thing that originated in the fertile
brain of the editor of the Plaindealer

was an oversight, or the article came

in giving credit where credit belongs.

E. Nj. Carpenter reports a won
derful growth of alfalfa in his field
on the south side. On the 3rd of
June he cut his alfalfa, and on June
IL, when he informed US of the mat
ter, the plant was two feet high, be-
ing nearly ~ inches growth each
day. The yield was ~ tons to the
acre. The plant roots are near the
water and this sub-irrigation Is a
great aid to growth. Mr.. Carpenter
expects to cut four crops of hay this
year. He says it is not safe to pas
ture alfalfa on the south side lands
owing to the soft and porous soil.
Some alfalfa fields have died owing
to winter pasturing.
