Republic County Will Entertain at

Belleville. Kan. Sept. loving to an
Immense corn crop, bountiful forage crops
of every description and the general pros
perity OF its people. Republic county has
decided to held her second corn carnival
this fall. The dates have been fixed for
October 1 and 2. The officers are: John
M. Doyle mayor of Belleville. president;
ex-State Senator l. o. Savage, secretary;
ID. ID. Bramwell president of the National
bank. treasurer, and vice president from
every township IN the county
The committees have been selected with
great care from among the most active
enthusiastic and public spirited citizens of
the county. That the right men are in
the right places, so far as officers are
concerned, is admitted by all. The carni-
val will be conducted on the same general
plan as the one held in 1899 of which full
description appeared in the State Journal
at the time. but on a much larger scale,
by the addition of many new and entirely
original features. as the association has
more than double the means at it's COM
mand it had al that time. Upwards of 81
600 has already been contributed by Belle
Vile business men and citizens The COM
mittee will offer substantial purses of from
SIS to $50 for the best township display in
the parade, besides will give other liberal
premiums for the best farm exhibits from
Republic county.

WOMEN AND WIT.

The woman entirely dead to the
amusing side of life may be very good
and happy woman, but she loses good,
wholesome slice of pleasure. A hearty
laugh is the best of tonics 1t sharpens
the brain and warns the heart.
A mans ideal woman is she who has
just sufficient brains in the comic de-
partment of her Uranium to see the
point of his own sallies. He likes her to
laugh at his jokes, but never, never,
never at him, whatever absurdity he
may commit. She may cut her own lit
tie jokes, too, but he appreciates them
best when they are couched in his own
familiar phrases. It is not safe for her
to start line of her own with a new or
quaint point of view, for therein lies a
deadly danger. He may one day awake
to realize that she is making fun of
him. A monstrous notion, indeed
There are plenty of women who can
bear to be laughed at. Sometimes they

five days, strong flow of gas was struck
in East Eureka Saturday afternoon, at
depth of 800 feet. The flow is even
stronger than at the well which was To-
Gated three weeks ago. This is the second
successful gas well located here within
less than a month, and the town is jubi-

years, and will sink more wells at once
hoping to be able to pipe gas into town
before winter. Four or five wells will be
sunk. The present well has been cased
and the gas flow confined by means of a
packer, which was put on as soon as the
drill entered the gas sand.

Buffalo. Sept 1.-The impression pro-
duced by the inaugural meeting of the
Buffalo Racing Association is that it
marks the entrance of this section into
metropolitan racing. A crowd of 5000
people enjoyed the sport. The feature of
the day was the Buffalo Derby, the first
event of the kind. 1t was foregone con-
clusion that Green B. Morris crack g.
year-old Som brero. would win the race,
and the best price obtainable at any time
in the betting was ! to 4.
1t was only an exercise gallop for the
Star-Ruby colt and he won by four lengths
from the Charaus horse The failure of

prise to many.
