Commercial Club Meeting.

Last Monday night was the regula,
meeting night for the Commercial
club, but for the want of a quorum
no meeting was held. Still there are
a number of matters the club should
take up, among them being the
special premiums which the business
men of Great Bend should offer fol
displays at the Fair. The securing
of a respectable or suitable out
building for the use of people who
come to town for day and do not &C
to a hotel. A report of the com
mittee on tie gas matter. The sugar
beet situation, and numerous other
matters which could and should be
taken in hand by the club, for the
best interests of the city. While we
are all individually evidently making
a little money and prospering, why
not do something that will make the
entire community do likewise and
thus make the business men as
individuals prosper still more. By
failing to attend to business we car
expect only one thing, and that is te
be run over by neighboring towns
Let us get awake for change. &c

a good place to live in.

A Word About the Fair Pre- eniums and
Purses.

The complaint that is being made
in some quarters against the fair
purses and premiums, especially the
latter, in that the complainants think
they are too high, and the premiums
too low, has been heard before, and
we dare say is founded on mistaken
idea of the situation. While it is a
fact that the amount of money put in
to the purses runs near $4,000 and
that put into premiums trif1e over
$1,000, there aie several things con-
nected Herewith we desire to mention
in the hope that any erroneous i'm
preston existing may be wiped out.
In the first place the races are gotten
up, under a rule which means no race
shall be run until at least five horses
have entered, out of which three must
start When an owner enters horse
he pays as entrance fee 5 per cent. of
the purse, and from the winners of
each race an additional per cent. is
deducted. With the number of
horses that are usually entered and
the stable rent the horse men pay the
average race does not cost manage
ment to exceed SO per cent. This
then reduces the purses to less than
$1,000. On the other hand not a
cent is charged for entering stock,
agricultural exhibits, or anything OF
the kind, SO the amount paid out in
premiums is net cash out of the re-
1ceipts, and therefore this department
except for the small amount of stall
rent paid by stock men is not in any
sense partly selfsustaining as are the
races. Another thing, any man can
come to the Fair and in half day
see all there is to see, by paying his
25 cents. But, does the average man
come only one afternoon? Not by
considerable. He comes just as
often as there is a race to come off
aAd therefore the races are practically
the financial hackers of the associa-
ton.
The DEMOCRAT regrets that the
premiums for farm exhibits ETC., are
not larger, and we believe it would be
a good move for the business men oi
Great Bend to circulate a subscrip
ton list for the purpose of raising a
sum of money to be used for specia
premiums, in the stock and farm de
Q partmens, to be parceled out as the
management sees fit. The DENocRA1
will start such list with IS dona
ton, and if others will give theil
share in proportion, good sizee
amount can be raised. Who is next

A Growing Institution.

The people generally, are not
aware of what big thing the cream
cry industry of this country is getting
to be, and what a help it is to- the

of the Merritt Creamery Company,
may be of interest to our readers.
The figures given are for the month
of June, as those of July. had not yet
been compiled at the time our scribe
called. The amount of money paid
by this concern for butter fat was
S22.470. 1880 pounds of butter
were manufactured, which equals
about seven car loads. The capacity
of the institution, for d "a hour
run is 5000 pounds, which means
that they ran part of the time last
month at night. In fact they receive
cream off of the night trains right
along. This company has 8 stations,
outside of Great Bend, and is rapidly
extending its business, both as to in
creased capacity, and demand for its
product. The people of this locality
should certainly feel proud of the
institution, as the milk check has
frequently tided the farmer over a
hard pull, and comes in as regular as

IRE Wheat Kings of Barton County:

In an article in the Tribune of last
week some of the heavy wheat
growers of Barton county are
mentioned, together with the acreage
sown this year. While doubtless no
intentional wrong is done, still to
people who are not familiar with the
county and people the article is.
rather misleading. To accurately
give the number of acres sown by
each man, one can not only give the
number as shown from the assessors
returns, as a farmer may have wheat
in several townships and only give the.
assessor the amount he has IN the
township in which he lives. How
ever, be that as it may, the part of
the article to which we desire to call
special attention is where it mentions
Iohn Bitner and Mr.. DusenberTy.
While these men were heavy farmers
when here, they are not In the county
now and had no wheat out. Mr..
Bitner is resident of Lane county
and has been for over a year. MIR.
Dusenberry has not been a resident
of this county for, at least five years,
and his extensive farm has been
parceled out among his creditors.
In fact Mr.. Dusenberry was killed
three years ago when the u. S. Army
took part in rescuing the foreign
citizens in Pekin. While not wishing
to state positively who had the
largest acreage, we believe the belt
belongs to Pete Cory, as we under
stand he had something like. 500

seventeen years, one month and

but four short days, of inflammation OF
the bowels, and the closing of this
bright young life, SO full of promise.
and just in the beginning of woman

family.

Base Ball Games.

Yes. we had two more base ball
games this week, playing with the
Sterling team, getting licked both
times. The score the first game was
to IL; and the second game 8 to 6.
We have had better games here than
these two. That's fact. We also
had better attendance and more en-
couragement from the people. Of
course everybody is busy now. The
second game played this week was a
fair game, and if eur team that played
that day had had any practice to-
gether, the result might have been
different. The fact is you can not
pick up a club of nine men from
around town and send them to the
plate winner unless they have had
practice. The fact also is that to get
men here to play ball who make it a
business. takes money, which is not
to be had for the purpose of putting
into the game, unless the people will
attend It takes good games to get
the attendance. 1t takes the at.

Death of Walter Burke.

+ Walter E. Burke, one of the best
known and most popular railroad
men, who has made Great Bend
headquarters for the past five years,
died at St. Rose Hospital Sunday
evening at 11:20 of peritonitis, after
having been i'll less than a week.
Walter was we'll known among the
young people of our city and was
universally liked. He first began
running out of here in 1897, and has
made this headquarters since then.
He was not quite 27 years of age,
and had recently been promoted to
conductor. His parents reside near
Partridge, where interment took
place on Wednesday. His father
and mother were with him when he
died.
Thus we have one more example
of the uncertainty of life. Strong,
vigorous, ambitious, popular, with
the bright things of life and all the
chances in the world in his favor, yet,
after only few days of sickness, he
lies cold in death, surrounded by his
relatives and friends. And as we lay
him beneath the sod in the little
cemetery, to await the last order
Walter will ever get, let us all be
mindful of life's uncertainties, and
remember that after all has been
said and done, we must all meet the
inevitable call. Let us then unite in
extending sympathy to his relatives
and particular friends, and so con
duct ourselves that we may all be
united on the other shore.
