Notwithstanding the fact that last
Saturday was cold day the County
Teachers Meeting in Ellinwood was
well attended and every person who
had place on the program respond
ed. The feature of the exercises was
the round tables on the reading circle
work. That on American Literature
was led by Helen Minnis who made
the subject very interesting, but it
was almost painful to note how poorly
prepared some were to talk about
American authors especially of Chas.
Egbert Craddock. Prof. Martin con-
Quoted the Round Table on Whites
Art of Teaching and brought out
some very interesting discussions.
The music given by the high school
was very much appreciated.
1t is characteristic feature of the
teachers meetings held in Ellinwood,
that they are well attended by the
citizens of the town and patrons of
the schools. The teachers were all
entertained and such hearty good will
prevailed as to make this meeting
very enjoyable one. The next meet
ing will be held in Hoisington on
March 9th

Although our storm last Monday,
which by the way, was the first OF
the season was mild compared to
some which our friend II. A. Wilson
has seen in Kansas, he nevertheless
had little experience which ne will
not forget soon. AS is known his
sister, Mrs. Capt Rice, has been
very i'll. Mr.. Wilson telephoned to
the Stewart hospital for trained
nurse, and accordingly on Sunday
evening Miss Padfeld of that institu-
ton came out. Mr.. Wilson in COM
pany with the nurse, took the Mon
day morning train for Hoisington
and thence proceeded by team to the
Rice home, about twelve miles north
west, right in the face of the blizzard.
AS is usual on a drive of this kind
not much of conversation was
INDUCED in. To inquiry as to
whether or not she was cold, Miss
Padfield answered no until they were
a little over half way, when she
replied that she was very cold. On
coming in sight of the house,
although still a mile away, Mr..
Wilson pointed out the house to
which she replied that she could not
see it. Mr.. Wilson thought perhaps
her hood had been pulled down over
her eyes, and thought no more of it.
Arriving at the house she made no
move to alght, when Mr.. Wilson in
vestigated and found her unconscious
but still alive. They hastily carried
her into the house, applied restora-
tives and rubbed her hands and
extremities, and soon resusticated
her, and in less than an hour without
yone word of complaint expressed her
self as ready for her patient. Thus
exhibiting the trne spirit of her call

Stokes (48th birthday, and the-little
folks making up the double seven
aggregation, except Bennie Giles and
his better half, turned out to help
Willie celebrate. All the boys, even
Mortie Fits and Wallie Dodge
donned their knee pants. Louie
Breeder even had his mustaehe
shaved off to make him look like a
boy, but oh, such face. 1t is not
often that mustache will change a
persons face like it did Louie's.
Charlie Hooper had on an elegant
red coat, and looked too cute for any
thing. The junior editor got lost in
a large white collar. peeping out just
enough to make his wants known at
the table. All the girls dressed in
short clothes, curled up their hair,
and did other things to add to their
otherwise youthful appearance. They
made fine looking lot. Boodie FEEDER
took the first prize for the best girls
make up, an elegant rose, and Wallie
Dodge received a box of animal
crackers for the best boys make up.
Willie Stoke received an appropriate
present from each one, and the dinner
was interspersed with original mothe T
goose rhymes by the guests, as well as
other poetry not SO original Katie
Tracy was an extra guest for the even
ing, and was a match for any of them.
The costumes to be worn by the
party were surprise to Willie, but
Ella, his better half, had the necessary
fixins for him and herself, and they
donned them Immediately after the
company arrived. A very pleasant
evening was enjoyed by all.

Missouri Pacific Mail Service.

Several days ago the Secretary OF
the Commercial Club, realizing that
the Missouri Pacific Mail Service was
about the worst ever known, and feel
ing that in justice to the citizens some
action should be taken, wrote strong
protest to William Cotter, General
Manager of the road, against existing
conditions. He has received the
following reply, and it is hoped that
the orders given will be carried
out, and that our mail will come more
regular and on time:
ST. Louis, Mo-, Jan. %, 1904.
Mr.. F. Vernon Russell,
Secretary Commercial Club,
Great Bend, Kansas.
Dear Sir.
i, / wish to acknowledge receipt OF
yours of January Goth regarding the
service on Great Bend Branch and
say that I have today issued instruc-
tons to officers in charge of that dis
trict to discontinue using the Branch
as side track whenever such use
might cause delay to the Branch train,
and will insist upon these instructions
being carried out. The unprecedent-
ed wheat crop in that section of the
country was more than the railroads
or anyone else were prepared to
handle and caused a serious conges-
ton, which is about over now, as the
bulk of the wheat is practically moved,
and 1 hope you will have no further
cause to complain
Yours truly,
VIM. CoTTER, Mngr.

Citizens National Bank.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found comparative statement of the
Citizens National Bank of this city
to which we respectfully call your
attention. This bank as all our
readers know, is not quite three years
old, but has nevertheless risen to a
place among the banking institutions
of Central Kansas, which is envied
by many. The secret of their sue
cess is doubtless due to the very con-
servative business done by the officers,
and to the strength and \backing the
institution has through the personnel
of the board of directors. and stock
holders. 1t is a safe, conservative
institution, and one in which It IS
a pleasure to do business.
