when Tommy Atkins wants a new pet

are kind-hearted.

to a soldier son who was stationed
there. When he returned he carried

boat in which he had come off to the
ship, and returned to shore. When
he came back he carried a bird cage
containing a strange looking creature.
1t was covered with gay feathers, but
it had four legs.

Coffee crop pe.troxed.

San Francisco, Nov. 3.-The entire
coffee zone of Guatemala has been
destroyed by the flames and smoke
from Santa Maria's blazing mouth.
Eruptions threaten the destruction of
every living thing within reach of the
fumes and fire that pour from the
burning mountain. The volcano, Santa
Maria, is located between Retalpulen
and Quezaltenango. The towns in the
neighborhood most likely to be de-
stroyed are San Felipe, Mazatenango

Government Afraid of Ireland.

London, Oct. 3o.-The apprehension
with which the government views the
situation in ireland. can be judged
from the fact that the chief constable
of Birmingham has issued warning
to all arm and ammunition manufac-
turers not TO sell goods for shipment
to the proclaimed districts of Ireland.
A special order has also been issued
that even to such parts of Ireland as
are not proclaimed, shipments of arms
must be clearly marked as such under
pain of stringent penalties.

Largest Hog Ranch.

Kansas City, Oct CSC. Il. How
and Fl. G. Kornb leth, of Roswell, N
NJ, who are here for the American
Royal Cattle and Swine show, are the
owners of what is said to be the largest
hog ranch in the world. The number
of hogs usually on the ranch is in the
ncighborhood of 5000. Their ranch is
in the Pecos Valley of New Mexico
Everything is irrigated there, but as
fine corn and alfalfa as are produced
in the United States can be grown,
making feed very cheap.

And a golden censor was swung.

Garrison for South Africa.

At the end of the year there will
still be about $4,000 British troops in
South Africa, and it is probable that
a garrison of this size will be main
or for longer. 1t is hoped that ulti-
mately $4,000 men will be sufficient to
garrison South Africa, but it is pos
sible that tho military authorities may
determine, for tho purposes of train
ing, to keep the army corps there.

sOUsA's BAND AT WICHITA.
Seasoned by ten years of experience,
ten years of constant application under
the direction of the same master mind,
ten years of strenuous effort in the
cause of good music, and ten years of
approval well earned from the public
of two continents, the Sousa band is
engaged upon another remarkable
transcontinental tour, the sixth of the
kind since the Inauguration of its sue
cessful career on September &c, 1892.
There is not a town of more than
ten thousand inhabitants in this coun
try where Sousa has not been well
come visitor during the last decade,
and his popularity is established upon
an equally firm footing in the musical
centers of Europe. The personnel OF
the organization undergoes but few
changes, and mellowed by years of
work under the same baton, these
players have reached the highest de-
gree of artistic finish.
Mr.. Sousa will bring his great band
to Wichita for a grand concert on No
vember 9Th at the Toler Auditorium.
following his custom of presenting the
best vocal and instrumental talent in
conjunction with his band, Mr.. Sousa
offers as supporting soloists two young
women, new to the Seusa audiences,
who viii admirably maintain the ar

brilliant a corpse of correspondents as
The Chicago Rccord-llcrald. Its choice

alive of the Record-Ilcrald policy of OBJ
tanning the best there is to be had. Wal
ter Wclman, the wcil-known authority
on political subjects and one of the ablest
writers of the day, acts in that capacity.
Mr.. Wclman was born in Mentor, Ono,

ing at that age weekly paper IN the
little town of Sutton, Neb. In 1873 he

Mayor Henning's Suggestions.

The dedication of the court house on
July 18th will be a great day for the city
of Garnet. The city will, without doubt,
give the people n hearty and cheerful re-
ccption as the citizens of Anderson county
paid the money to build such a fine and
magnificent temple. Therefore, the city
should make liberal preparation for this
special occasion 1t is suggested:
1st, That the citizens should NOW
down allwceds in front of their residen-
ccs to the middle oil the streets.
2nd, To repair and paint all buildings
as much as possible.
3rd, That the citizens of Garrett
should, as much as possible, or convcn'
iently, invite the people to our homes,
and give them good dinner. This will
make us all feel better, as it is but the
"old-timc" hospitality and generosity.
The people Of the county support the
CITY of Garnett, and this gencI Gus recep-
ton will more cloesly unite and Guilt
vatc harmony and friendship for the iu-
turc growth of Anderson comfy.
4th The city of Garnctt should pre-
pare and display fine fireworks at night
Iulv 4th, as many over the county would
STAY to view them. Now il all the citl-
zcns will take hold and carry out these
suggestions, we will all be better salts
