A Kansas Bow in the East.

Otis Thompson adds victory TO VIC
tory in his onward march toward pro-
fessional emineDce. We have noted
with great pleasure several of his tri-
umphs, including his recent election
to membership in a prominent medi-
cal fraternity in Jefferson college, an
honor greatly coveted by professional
men but attained by but few. He was
awarded this honor on scholarship in
competition with large number of
aspirants. We are now glad to re-
cord still higher honor which has
come to Otis. He has won and been
awarded the position of resident
physician in the Presbyterian hospit-
al in Philadelphia. The position is a
competitive one. and was contested
Nor by representatives of the fore
most medical colleges in the east.
There were three or four positions to
be filled and scores of students con-
tested for the coveted places Otis
was the only one to WIN of the many
tcontestants from Jefferson college.
We are proud of the success this
Kansas boy, this Marion boy, is
achieving in the east, unaided and
| alone, and in competition with rich
| men, sons.-Marion Record.
Otis is a son of Rev. j. w. Thomp
son, formerly pastor of the Presby
terian church of this city.

City Schools.

Our city schools close Friday with
commencement exercises at Flohr's
opera house. The term has been a
very successful one. Prof. Baugher
at the head of the schools has been
earnest and sincere. sparing himself
in nothing that would advance the in
terests of the pupils and the other
teachers. We believe his eff orts are
fully appreciated. He has been ably
assisted in his good work by Miss
Elizabeth Seflards of the Grammar
school, Mrs. Helen Angus, teacher of
the Sixth and Seventh grades, Miss
Reecie Brelsford in the Fourth and
Fifth grades, and Misses McMichael
and blanchard in the primary rooms.
What is said of the work of Prof.
Baughet applies to the work of each
teacher. The Graphic extends con-
gratulations to all the teachers on
| their success and a wish that when the
fall term of 1903 begins, Kinsley
school children will find each one oi
them in their familiar places; also
that both teachers and pupils may
have a very happy vacation.

cises will be given in next week.

Club Notes.

Mrs. F. D. Smith gave q very fine
paper at the weekly meeting of the
Woman's Club at Mrs. w D. Erwin 8
Wednesday afternoon. The next meet
ing of the club is at the home of the
president, Mrs. E. w. Higgins. The
annual election of officers, usually
held the first Wednesday in June, will
take place at that time. Mrs. Higgins,
as president during the past year, has
given the club most successful ad-
ministrauion. She has been everything
that club president should be-kind-
.ly, generous, courteous and fair.
Everything pertaining to the regular
business of the club, and the enter
tainments given, has been done and
done correctly. Only those who have
filled ner position, and kept the work
up during the year, know just how
much personal effort that requires.
The Woman's Club appreciates to the
fullest extent all that she has done.
During her admin stration the largest
delegations have gone to both District
and State FederatiOns that have ever
been sent by her club.
1t is to be hoped that Mrs. Higgins
successor will endeavor to keep the
mark she has set, not only in the mat
ter of representation at the large fed
erations, but in every other way.
Women learn the value of organiza
tion and business methods at the state
and district meetings.; they learn wha'
force for good they may exert if they
are thorough in these things.
Mrs. Wire, the vice president of the
club, has served faithfully during the
admi nistrations of both Mrs. Marst
and Mrs. Higgins.

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Oscar W1kerson, Returning from
Colorado, Dies Shortly After
Reaching Kinsley.

This community was greatly shock
ed to learn of the death OF Oscar
Wilkerson at this place Monday
evening. He had been ailing all the
spring and about three weeks ago
went to Granada, Colorado, to Try
the Colorado air. For a time he
seemed to be getting along nicely.
His father was startled Monday by
receiving telegram at noon stating
that Oscar was very sick and that
another telegram. would be sent at
three in the afternoon. The second
telegram said to meet him at Kinsley
that evening. Even then none of his
friends believed that he could be near
to death for it was SO short time
since he seemed to be getting stronger.
When the train pulled in friendly
arms carried the young man from the
train; he recognized and spoke TO his
father as he was being carried to the
American hOnse where his spirit
passed into the unknown even as his
friends were placing him upon a bed.
The doctor who had brought Oscar
down said that the day before he went
out to watch ball game for a little
while and caught cold in his lung
which had not as yet been affected
and it was thought best to bring him
home. He grew so rapidly worse
that by the time the train reached
Speareyille it was apparent that his
life was slipping rapidly away and
the only hope was that he might live
to recognize his father before passing
over. Mr.. Noble was called and took
charge of the remains and the friends
and relatives at Lewis were notified
by wire. Tuesday morning Kinsley
friends gathered up some of our
native flowers and laced them upon
his coffir. The train from Lewis
brought large delegation of Odd
Fellows, Rebeccas and members oi
the Epworth League. who received
the remains from the members OF
: these orders living in this city and
took the body TO Lewis for burial at
two O'Clock Wednesday. The many
friends of Mr.. Jack WilkersOn sym
pathise deeply with him in his loss
and it strikes him with unusual force
from the fact that he has been sc
greatly afflicted. But a short time
ago his wife was taken then, a growr
son and now another grown boy. Il
does seem as though the hand OF af'
Fiction had rested with unusual sever
ity on this family. Oscar was q
young man just at the threshold OF g
useful life, loved aud respected by all
and it does seem too bad that ht
should be,taken.
- The funeral took. place from the
Methodist church in Lewis Wednes
day at p. m: and was in charge o

DEATH IN A CYCLONE.

A cyclone visited the southeast part
of Hodgeman county late yesterday
afternoon, totally destroyed the house
and barn on the Dan Gleason, Sr.,
farm, killed Miss Mabel Tuttle, threw
Mrs. Dan Gleason out of her sick bed
and injured one of Dams little girls
on the forehead. The first intimation
of the disaster was brought to this
city yesterday evening about 6 O'Clock
by a man who works for Tom Glea-
son. He stated that he was at Toms
when he first saw the storm and as it
approached he took to the cave. The
twister missed this place by few
rods and as soon as it had passed he
came to the surface and the first thing
he noticed was that the elder Glea-
sons house and barn had been re-
moved from the face of the map. He
hitched up team as quickly as pos
sible and drove over. The little girl
was running around with cut in her
forehead but was not seriously hurt.
Mrs. Gleason was badly frightened
and shaken up but was not seriously
injured by the storm, but she may
suffer severely as result of it owing
to the fact that che was very i'll at the
time. Miss Tuttle's body was found
about five rods from the house in the
debris of the stone barn. She was up
stairs when the house was struck and
when found her forehead was crushed
and life had departed. This young
lady was quite we'll known in this
county. She was u school teacher
and her parents are said to live at
Fort Dodge. DR.. DeTar drove out as
soon as possible but found but little
need for professional attention. There
may have been further damage done
but we have not learned of it.
