voice.
Not long ago he was invited to eN
change pulpits with minister In

he was to preach was much more i'm

Arriving early he peered from behind
the pulpit and watched what he cou-

There should be no knocking on
the building of new school house on
the present site. Yet there is con
siderable controversy over the prop
osition. There is one thing certain,
this town must have more school
room at once and the school board
says that if the bonds are defeated
| they will be obliged to build another
one roomed affair on the school
grounds. What we want is a fine
large school building that will be a
credit to the town. 1t is not probable
however that the proposition will be
! defeated.

Joseph Reimer is spending a few
days with home folks.
February was the wettest month by
that name for several years.
Mrs. F. NJ. McInnes was in Great
Bend last Saturday on a shopping
expedition.
Prof. Baty rusticated among the
population of our county metropolis
Saturday last.
Messrs. Hickey and Riedel are our
representatives on jury duty at the

Miss Rosa Koebel, of Kansas City,
is visiting her brother and sister,
Landlord Eggerswieser and wife of
our city.
Art Taylor and a few other re-
nowned nimrods are making the willy
mallard use the top branches for
roosting purposes.
Miss Racy Z Helfert, the sweet,
good-natured and efficient hello girl
in the Hoisington exchange, is in the
city for few days visit.
A few of our people are arranging
to attend the dedication exercises of
the r. r. Y. NJ. c. a. at Hoisington
on St. Patrick's day in the mornin'.
Word was received here Monday
of the serious illness of Albert Luce,
formerly of Galatia; but few hopes
are entertained of his recovery. Bert
has many warm friends here>who are
very sorry to hear of his sickness.
We hope for his recovery.
The heavy, wet SHOWS have melted,
and the ground is sea of mud. The
effect on spring crops should be
beneficial; old settlers are confident
of good year when they see the
ground thoroughly wet down during
the winter; not only does it put the
ground in good shape for spring
work, but very much less moisture is
required in spring and summer to
keep the growing things thrifty and
fruitful.
Chas. Pizinger returned home from
his studies at the Bethany Conserva-
tory OF Music at Lindsborg last Satur-
day evening. He was compelled to
give up his work on account of sick
ness, as he is in the clutches of
malarial grippe; this is very un-
fortunate for Charley as he was near
ing the completion of his work; he
was also a member of the famous
Bethany Messiah Orchestra that
stands without a peer in the realm of
music in the west. Charley would
have appeared with this orchestra in
the coming Messiah festival April 9Th
to 18th. His many friends are sorry.
this misfortune has overtaken him.
He will return and complete his work
next fall.
We will say that the legislature now
winking out its last wink in Kansas is
one of the most harmless we have
ever known since we reached the age
of discretion. A great many wild
threats of crazy legislation have been
heard of, but we notice very few freak
bills have become laws. A Legislature
is an expensive piece of machinery if
we know anything about it, and we
hardly see the sense of its taking up
its time in changing Bill Smiths
name to that of Jim Jones, and de-
Gliding whether or not the unmarked
lines of Wall ST. on the plins adjacent
to Podunkville shall be considered
defunct or not. As matters of
economy and horse sense are not
considered part of legislative
equipment however, we presume that
such small matters as these are not
worth mentioning.
