What proved to be a disastrous
fire occurred Saturday evening about
$50 when the residence of r. A
Charles was discovered to be on fire.
Mr.. Charles and family were away
from home at the time, thus the fire
was under good Roadway when dis
covered. An alarm was quickly
turned in, and in the meantime
garden hose in the hands of neighbors
was used to some advantage. When
the hose company reached the scene,
the house appeared to be roaring
furnace. Some of the furniture and
household effects were rescued from
the building, but the building itself is
a total loss. The insurance on the
same was $1,000 and on the house
hold goods $500. These amounts
are exceeded in loss by at least $1,000,
making it an expensive bit of excite
ment for Mr.. Charles and family.
We understand they will occupy
the Kerr residence on Broadway
Mr.. Charles will soon begin the
erection of a fine residence on the
site of his former one.

Up-the-Creek On Santa Anna
Canon, California.
May 18th, 1908.
DEAR ANDREW:
l should have written you ere
this, and much has happened since
leaving Great Bend. We visited
along the route as talked of with you;
at Pueblo was met by Earnest Grail
and wife who treated US to delight
full ride over the city in an as elegant
a turnout as found in the city,
(might also add that the Grail Bros.
are the owners of a livery,) during
our hours layover.
Arrived at Salt Lake the next day
and during the succeeding "a hours,
restup we saw much of the Mormon
city and the Fort near by, where 1
met Capt. Clarke formerly of 20th
Kans., now a 1st Lieut.. in the army.
Going over the divide Hattie, Dora
April acted very much like people do
when they are sea sick. The writer
makes no report regarding himself
then, Cat this time) was delayed sew
eral hours at Ogden and arrived az
Oakland about 2 a. M, where we
spread our blankets on the depot
floor and waited for daylight. We
got couple of furnished rooms for
light housekeeping and remained
four days, visiting, sightseeing and
resting in and around Frisco. Among
those we met were Capt. ]. E. Towers
also formerly of of the Goth Kans.,
and brother of NJ. n. Towers north
west of Hoisington; John F. Harper
a brother of Mrs. NJ P Parker of
your city; Vert Adams and B. H
Krieger both from Larned We
then continued our journey as far as
Palo Alto and Mayfeld, stopping
nine days with an aunt, Mrs, Bal
combe, of grandma's, who resided at
Success, Russell county, for num-
Der of years. Then proceeded to
Los Angeles where we occupied the
home of a cousin who is now looking
after some railroad Improvements at
Riverside. A week ago last Monday
| came up the mountains about 10
miles from Grafton to join a U. S.
surveying party and assist in camp
moving and cooking. At this write
ing, am well satisfied with my seem
ingly Improvement of health since
leaving Great Bend. Having had
about all kinds of weather possible
since reaching the camp.
Have not heard from the outside
since coming up the canyon, but ex-
pect to take a donkey and go out to
the road to get some grub, which
should be there and also get the mail
and send this out
Am told the work will last about
two weeks. Write me at No. 115U
East 18th street, Los Angeles, Cal,
and Hattie will get the same and for
ward to me if | continue to stop in
the mountains.
Respectfully,
DELL 7. NEWTON.

The Street man sees and hears
many funny things. While in
Hooper's few days ago, he saw Mr..
Hooper purchase a case of Judge
Taft cigars from travelling man.
After the purchase had been made
and while Mr.. Hooper, the cigar man
and the street man were discussing
general topics, two young men came
in, walked up to the cigar case, and
after looking at the various brands
asked for Judge Taft. The young
men were strangers in the city and
had never met the cigar man. While
ordinarily it would have been com
mon occurance, in this particular
instance, with the cigar man still there
it looked like put up job to induce
Mr.. Hooper to buy the cigars.

The Home MinstreIs.

An amateur play is always enjoy
able when presented in anything like
creditable manner, because OF the
interest taken in the players. The
society minstrels given at the opera
house on last Thursday evening and
repeated Friday evening by request,
excelled any effort Of the kind given
In our city In a long time. Chas. L.
Fisk and Lee Holloway were the
directors, Miss Ratliff, young lady
from Kansas, musical director and
Mrs. W. E. Walton, pianist.
When the curtain went up on the
first scene it "suttinly looked like
the real thing" The lend men,"
whom we afterwards learned were
Miss Christy and Elmer Silvers, sup
ported by Miss Adkins and Clay,
Messrs Renick and Mcfarland, were
great and made some decided hits.
Misses Holloway, Adkins and Morris,
Claud Edwards, Joe Renick and
Mcfarland sang popular selections.
The "Bowery Kids, was very pop.
ular hit with the audience; the Flora
Dora Quartette was probably the
best feature OF the entertainment.
We are emily sorry that We cannot
mention each and every player, as
they all performed their parts well. |
The Allen orchestra with its splendid |
music added much to the enjoyment
Of the occasion.

Little Walton Allen will probably
be the youngest member OF a band
at the dedication ceremonies in st.
Louis this week. He left with the

Tuesday evening. Walton is about
twelve years old and plays the claro-
net with remarkable skill even for an
older player. Besides belonging to
the band he is member of the Allen
orchestra, which is famous in music
al circles in this section.
Complaint is made that the state
law requiring all carcases OF animals
which died Of contagious diseases TO
be buried or burned is being violated
in some instances. We are sorry to
hear this. For their own and neigh.
bors protection, parties having hogs
to die of cholera, or other stock to
die Of contagious disease, should
burn or bury the carcases, even II
there was no law covering such cases.
We would be sorry indeed to learn OF
It becoming necessary to enforce this
law against any Bates county citi.
zen.

Suicide at Merwin.

Amsterdam Enterprising.
Megwja on April IA occurred the
very sad ending Of Andy House,
father OF Mrs. j. B. Rucker.
Mr. House was one of Merwin's
Oldest settlers and at the time OF his
death in his SSth year. The oldgen-
tleman had become very childish and
the supposition is that the late hang
ings had temporarily unbalanced his
mind.
The old gentleman threw a rope
over the side OF a corn crib and twist
ed one end around his neck, then
threw his weight upon it, and was
found in a half sitting position, when
found by his daughter about 6
o'clock in the evening.
The coroner was notified but in
structed the Justice at Merwin to
hold the inquest.
He was inferred In his last resting
place Thursday afternoon.
