Liberal Church

We don't know just what denomi
nation Of churches they have at Gar
den City, Kansas, but some of them
must be real liberal. At any rate the
following item is taken from under
the heading "In the Churches" of a
Garden City paper last week:
"For Mothers Sake" was adver-
tised as a scenic production, but as
it turned out it was more of "scent
ic" one There was a Frenchman
who was describing the killing Of a
couple of skunks and just as he
reached the climax Of the story, a
dog that had had recent interview
with one of the varmints, slipped
past the doorkeepers. In moment
the whole house was filled with the
aroma, and boy in tha gallery
plped up "Say, Mister, You let one
Of 'em get away" Nothing could
have been more opportune than the
appearance of the dog to make the
scene real"

BRYAN and the $4,000.

A long familiarity with Col. Will
liam Jennings Bryan's political and
personal history and more or less
studious perusal of his frequent com
munications to the public had led
us to believe that he was an exa ted,
though somewhat prolix, leader of
the people who cared little for vile
and pitiful pelf, but whose whole
soul was enlisted in the diffusion of
correct principles among his fellow
creatures; and it gives US painful
jar to see him 20 persistent and ad-
hesive in this affair OF the Connect
cut millionaire's bequest. 1t is only
money, vulgar cash, that the dead

Mesdames Pettee and Tarbox drove
to Lamar Friday evening and at
tended the Eastern Star lodge and
visited friends until Sunday.
A movement is on foot among the
farmers northwest of Holly, who have
no telephones, to construct cheap
line by utilizing the barbed wire
fences and renting the boxes from
the Colorado Telephone company.
This plan would give them phone
service at minimum cost.
A good audience greeted the Rev.
Vaughn last Friday night as be de
livered his noted lecture on the Holy
land. He is an attractive speaker
and held his audience for an hour
with deep interest, as he detailed
the scenes of the Holy land. His
pleasant manner and good descrip
tive power will give him a high place
in the lecture field. The lecture
was under the auspices of our high
school and was in every way sue

DR.. Spires reports that there has

among the children at Cherry Tree

undercurrent of sadness prevailed,
hearts were lightened by the knowl
edge that Colonel Holland had been
