and St. John' BY the arrangement of
this circuit the fairs will come on weeks

so that the breeders OF fine stock, race
horse men and all exhibitors can go
from one fair to another without missing
time, and without great expense.
The date Of the first week in Septem-
Der has been offered to Reno county If it
is desired, which will be determined upon
later, Some of our enterprising citizens
have in contemplation the holding of a
large Central Kansas exhibit at this
place, but this arrangement will not in,

IT Is quite evident that Colonel Roose
evelt has his press agent with him, OF
located at Meeker in communicating
distance, on his Colorado trip. The
tales the dispatches are telling Of his
narrow escapes and great accomplish
ments as sportsman smell about aa
iishy as Colonel Funston's river swim
ming exploits. Stories about showing
the butt of his gun into the mouth of o
mountain lion while he stabs 1t to
death with his knife may be believed
in the remote East where about all
they know about SUCH things is what
they read in the Nick Cater library,
but anyone who has had any expert
ence whatever with these beasts, or
knows anything of their powers and
action, will quickly attribute these
achievements to the same source from
whence have come most of his others,
namely lively and imaginative press
agent. Grant that this is more harm
less than appropriating the hoDors that
properly belong to niggers, because if
these honors do not belong to him he
has not taken them from anyone else.
Still 1t shows the character of the man.
And to think Of such man being vice
president of the United States with q
possibility Of becoming president, is
enough to make any American look
shame faced 1t may be that Meeker
has press correspondent who enjoys
a practical joke. Judging from the ex-
travagance of the tales and the fact
that Roosevelt is the nero that figures
through them all, and that none of the
other hunters in the party seem able to
accomplish anything, one might think
o,sand would certainly be justified in
such a conclusion we're it not for the
fact that most of his fame has been
achieved in this very way.

On Thursday afternoon Of last week a
good six room house. the home Of one OF
the prominent citizens of the southwest
part of the county, Mr.. Fins Porter,
was burned The household goods in
three Of the lower rooms were most Of
them saved. Those in the other room
down stairs and in the two upstairs were
entirely consumed. The insurance is
reported to be light. The origin of the
fire is thought to have been in the hue.
Mr. Porter lived five miles north of

The Squirrel Hunters Weapon.

The cream of squirrel hunting is en-
joyed by the man who uses light rifle
Of small caliber and medium power.
The "22 long" as now turned out by
our leading makers is an excellent
weapon-in fact, the best in the world
for the purpose. Though not Of suffi-
cient range TO be dangerous to people
or stock at n distance, ii throws lead
with surprising accuracy to the tops of
the tallest trees. Good rifle shots al
ways aim for the squirrels head both
TO add to the difficulty of the sport and
to avoid spelling meat. And be it
known that squirrels head at range
OF 40 or so yards is no easy mark. If
a reader doubts this, let him go to the
woods for a day, keep all empty shells,
and at the end of the day let him try
to make the dead squirrels and the
empty shells tally.-E. w. Sandys in
Outing.

PLANS IMPROVED.
NEW COURT HOUSE WILL BE BUILT ACCORD.
ING TO ORIGINAL PLANS.

The board of supervisors met in adj
journed session last Monday.
OF course the matter of the new build
ings occupied large part OF their atten-
ton. On motion of Supervisor Dillman,
seconded 10y Supervisor Lampson, it was
voted to complete the court house ac-
cording to the original specifications.
This puts in the beautiful and durable
marble wainscoting and stairs, the metal
lath, etc. 1t was also voted to finish OIL
the basement rooms-something that
would have to be done soon anyway
and to substitute tile roofing for the slate
called for in the specifications both on
the court house and Jail. These changes
will greatly increase the attractiveness
and durability of the buildings.
Architect Allen was instructed to
cause bust of President Van Buren, to
be placed in proper position in the new
building at cost not to exceed so.
Superintendent Buskirk was instruct
ed to advertise for bids for heating
plant for the buildings on the county
farm.
A canvass of the vote on the $780, 900
appropriation was as follows Yes, 1850;
No. 1907; affirmative majority, 25S, Just
the same as previously announced in
The True Northerner.
The board adjourned until Monday,
September 2-Labor Day at which time
the ceremony of laying the cornor stone
of the court house will take place.

ELECTRIC ROAD.
BIG COMPANY OF EASTERN CAPITALISTS TO
BUILD ONE.

1t looks as though the Kalamazoo.
Benton Harbor electric road was now a
sure thing, with Paw Paw on the line.
A Lansing dispatch says:
ARTICLES of incorporation of new
electric railway company, organized with
a capital of Sl,0O0,OOO to build line of
road from Benton Harbor to Kalamazoo,
touching at Dowagiac, Cassopolis, Deca-
tur and Paw Paw, have been fled with
the secretary of state. New York and
Chicago capitalists are the incorporators
of the company, which is organized un-
der the name of the West Michigan
Traction Co."

The Corner Stone.

The corner stone of the new court
house will be laid September 2-Labor
day-with appropriate ceremonies.
The local committee having the matter
in charge met Wednesday evening at the
council room to make preliminary ar
engagements. II. w. Broughton is chair
man of the committee by appointment
of the board of supervisors, and the COM
mittee elected M. o. Rowland secretary.
Mr.. Broughton was directed to send a
formal invitation to the Masonic grand
lodge to assist in the exercises, and the
secretary was instructed to invite all the
fraternal organizations of the county to
attend in bodies, and also to invite the
circuit judges of all neighboring circuits
and the presidents and common councils
of all villages in the county.
The securing of a speaker for the day
was left to Messrs. Cavanaugh and
Heckert.
L. j. Chatfee was selected as chief
marshal, with authority to select his
own aids.
Some talk was had concerning the
class and scope of exercises, but of course
the plans are not very far developed.
