A Dry Town Sees Snakes.

Last Friday evening while the
streets were thronged with people a
30-inch water snake boldly crawled
into the front door of Porter's drug
store, which was ablaze with light
and full of customers at the time
Where the animal-or varmint, or in
sect, or whatever snakes are-came
from is mystery, nut he acted as if
he had come to stay and proceeded to
make himself at home. When the in
truder made it's appearance every bod v
in sight IL led to get on top of some
thing. Except Porter. He took a
good look at His Snakeship, went
back to the prescription case and
took big dose of nerve tonic, and
went about his business as though
nothing had happened. It took some
time to convince him that the reptile
had material form, but when finally
convinced he promptly captured the
wiggler, put him in glass box and
now has him on exhibition as the
only one Of his kind in captivity

At the Opera House.

The Great Hewett company will be
at the opera house in this city Oct tober
19-2O-21 in their great speciaIties. In
speaking of this company the Beatrice
Neb. Daily Express says:
1.-THE Great Hewett company pre-
sented the Burglars Daughter" at
the Paddock last evening. Edwina
the child artistic in the title role, won
the hearts of her audience from the
start. The Great Hewett introduced
several new feats of magic, the best
of which was entitled "Asleep in Mid
Air" Tonight the company will
play a farce comedy called "Matl j.
monial Squables" and the Great
Hewett will present several new tricks
in legerdemain."
Rev. Beckett, of Chicago, says:
"Bessie's Burglar teaches better
moral regarding temperance than any
sermon l can preach. All church
members should see this, and by all
means bring the children.o

WILL 90 1T ALONE.


Fl. P. Ketelson and wife returned
from their trip east Tuesday night.
They left here last week in company
with Mr. and Mrs. Boasen for Topeka,
Kansas City and Chicago intending to
inspect electric plants at the first two
places and to place an order for their
machinery in the latter city. Mr.. Ketel-
son says that soon after leaving here
Mr. Boaseu's conversation showed
that he was inclined to back out of
his arrangement to go into business
in this city and finally asked to be
released from his contract, and as he
did not care to hold an unwilling
partner he released him. Prior to
making a contract with Mr.. Boasen
he had been in CORES spondence with a
Chicago party who was to work for
him in installing his plant and he i'm
med lately wired his man and found it
would not be convenient for the lat
ter to start in with him until about
the twentieth of this month. He re-
turned home and intends TO again
start for Chicago about the twentieth
of this month when he will buy his
outfit and go it without a partner.

About fifty of the friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Hiram G. Bingham gave
them housewarming on Monday
night. 1t was in the nature of sur
prise, and when the Bingham family
returned from a dinner party at Mrs.
DeTar's they found their pretty new
home lighted from top to bottom.
The merry party of invaders had in
stalled a new china closet with a
handsome piece of cut glass on top
as a reminder of their interest and
enjoyment in the new Bingham home.
The same spirit of hospitality which
pervaded the old cottage has been
carried othe new home, and as soon
as MIR. and Mrs. Bingham recovered
from their surprise the guests were
made to feel at home.

A Doctors Trust.

The laws of this state direct that
after a person has been convicted of
a crime and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary or reformatory he shall be ex-
amined by a physician who shall
certify as to his health before he can
be admitted into any of the state in
stitutions. Acting under this law
DR.. Pearson made three aminations
and certificates and DIR. Alexander
one. The law does not fix the COM
pensatiou for this service and so the
physicians put in bills to the cou nty
for five dollars in each case. When
the commissioners met they cut these
bills to one dollar in each case on the
theory that the examinations took but
a few moments and that the bills were
excessive. The result is that the doc
tors have entered into an agreement
to make no more examinations at the
price fixed by the board. This is
clearly a violation of the antitrust
law of the state and the attorney
generals attention is herewith called
to this agreement which it is plain to
be seen is in direct violation of the
statutes. He should prosecute all of
the guilty parties and make an ex-
ample of them. This is certainly a
combination in restraint of trade for
it is apparent that rigid adherence
to the agreement would prevent our
trading our criminals off on the
state. Here is an opportunity for the
Law Enforcement League to again
get into bust ness.

He Knew 1t Was Sarah.

An exchange tells of an old man
who would not believe he-could hear
his wife talk distance of five miles
by telephone His better half was in
country shop several miles away,
where there was a telephone, and the
skeptic was also in place where
there was similar instrument. and
on being told how to operate it he
walked boldly up and shouted,
''aello, Sarah!" AT that instant
lightning struck the telephone and
knocked the old man down, and as he
scrambled to his feet, excitedly cried,
80 That's Sarah. all right

A Pension SWindIe.

The TensiOn bureau is after some
bogus pension examiners who are
operating in the west. In recent
weeks a regular gang of swiudlers
have been fleeing old soldiers out of
money. Secret service men are now
trying to run down the gang. AS a
warning TO all old soldiers now draw
ing pensions, the Topeka pension
agency is sending out this letter:
"An persons employed by the
bureau of pensions are paid for
their services by the government Of
the United States, and are not entitl-
ed to collect any money from any in
dividuaf for performing their official
duty.
"Any person who pretends to be an
officer of the bureau, and demands
compensation for his alleged services
in their behalf. is an impostor and
should be turned over to IN officer of
the law.
1.-THE object of this circular is to
protect all persons having business
with the bureau against the swindling
schemes of unprincipled impostors,
who falsely claim to be officers of the
government, having power to grant
pensions, arrears, and increases, and
who collect money from their victims.
Genuine special examiners do not
demand or receive any money"

An Unanswerable Argument.

Mr.. Simpkins is an enthusiast on

"a great thing!" he says. ''They
make people more healthy, increase
their strength, and lengthen their
lives" s'But what about our ances-
tors ?" some one asked. "They didn't
have any chest protectors, did they ?"
''They did not," said MIR. Simpkins
"And where are they
now? AL! dead!''-Ram's Horn.

Club Notes.

The Woman's club meeting at Mrs.
Dyer's on Wednesday was small on
account of the bad weather, but the
delightful talk on the life of Madam
de Sevigne prepared by Mrs. F. G.
Blanchard made it an afternoon never
to be forgotten by those who listened
to it.
Mrs. Blanchard has the happy fac
ulty of knowing just what is of most
interest, leaving out the tiresome de-
tails. Glimpses of the magnetic per-
sonality of Madam de Sevigne, her
ideals of home ana children, her
stubborn optimism" in regard to
life, and her fine grasp on court and
political life, given in parts of her
letters to her daughter, her exiled
cousin. and Madam de Lafayette, fur
nished the most charming entertain
ment for an hour. Mrs. Dyer opened
proceedings with a cup of chocolate
and a wafer. 1.-The Book of Quota
tions" was presented to the club for
their consideration, anc it is hoped
each member Of the club will assist in
making the Travelling Art Galleries a
success.
The WOman's club members who
accepted the hospitality of the Portia
club of Larned for last Friday had
very jolly day. They were met at
the train and taken to the homes of
the POrtia club women where they
were entertained until the afternoon.
The Progress club members, of Great
Bend, were also guests of Portia at
the same time.
In the afternoon about eighty ladies
gathered at Mrs. Upson's and listen
ed to an interesting literary and
musical programs: Miss Norton, coun-
ty superintendent OF Pawnee county,
gave paper on Scottish literature
and Mrs. the trend of
thought in our best magazines. Mrs.
Wickwire gave vocal solo,
Mesdames Booth and Vernon a piano
duet and Miss Sunderland a guitar
solo.
After the program the ladies went
to the home of Mrs. VIM. Mansfield
where an elegant banquet was served.
The responses to toasts afterward
brought forth some beautiful short
talks. Mrs. Hills and Mrs. Smith
each responded to toasts from Kins-
ley, Mrs. Gummel and Mrs. Suther-
land from Great Bend, and Mrs.
Vernon, Mrs. Mansfield and Mrs.
Wheeler from Larned. Mrs. Wheel
er's toast was in the nature OF fare.
we'll aud was a very charming bit of
oratory. Many members of the
WOman's club were out of town and
therefore unable to participate 10 the
delightful affair planned for them by
POrtia but all send love and greetings
for the courtesy. These things ce-
ment the women Of neighboring towns
with fraternal bonds and bring not
only women but communities nearer
each other.
May Portia live long, never grow
old and always prosper.
The two Kinsley clubs-the Wo-
mans and the Fortnightly Readers
have very handsome year books.
The Woman's club book is in their
colors, the yellow and black, and the
other in green and white, which is
their insignia. The program COM
mittees of both organizations are to
be congratulated on their taste.
