Items From Jewell CITY.

Jewell City, Kas., May S.-The sew
enth and last number of the Jewell
lecture course was a novel thing in
deed. H B. Roney, of Chicago, with
"Roney'S Boys delighted everyone
with their musical entertainment.
These little fellows have remarkable
voices and perform creditably on
violin. flute, piccoio, tanborine, tri-
angle, castanets, and not the least of
all. organ chimes which are the new
est thing ever bfoHght to Jewell City,
and very unique. The Jewell people
will attempt anOt1er- course next sea
son, and subscriptions were taken for
that purpose Saturday evening. These
entertainments cost a trif1e over 20
cents per number for all adults and
school tickets less than l . cents. The
tickets sell for $3.50 and 81 each for
the season, single numbers SO cents
The Epworth league makes no money
out of the enterprise, but get it up for
the good of the community" Rev.
Willis, L. S. Grimes and 4. G. Ely are
the efficient committee. All appre-
ciative people regard this as a fine
thing for the community, because it
enables people in general to hear
some of the best things going at home,
for such a small sum of money that
an occasional bum" number is no
killing affair. The Lyceum bureau
should never send a bum number
out, but such is sometimes the case.
as d surprise on the local committee,
we suppose. DR.. Quail of Kansas City
and "ROney's Boys of Chicago were
worth the price of the course alone,
and there were several other good at
fractions.
The commencement exercises of the
Jewell high school will come off May
IS. There are ten boys and girls in
the class, as follows Frank Frey.
Frank Kennedy, Guy Seaton, Rena
Gabe, Myrtle Bell, Grace Shinn, Ruth

KILLED BY LovELL's CAR.
Passenger Threw Himself Under the
Wheels and Was Beheaded-

A Santa Fe passenger. Carl Myer,
committed suicide at Albuquerque last
Saturday. While the private car of
Arthur Lowell, assistant superintend-
ent of machinery of the Santa Fe,
was being switched in the local yards
Myer grabbed the brake beam of the
car and threw himself underneath the
wheels. His head was severed from
his body. Searching his papers, his
last will and testament was found in
which he bequeathed all his property
in Pueblo, Colo, to John StOmmel of
that city. A bank book of the Ger
manic Security bank of San Fran
cisco, Cal. showed that he had S712
in that institution. He also carried a
receipt for SIS for rooms at 215 u
South Main street, San Francisco,
signed by William NJ. ID. Co, and a
Harvey baggage room check dated
Los Angeles, April %, 1904.
His last will and testament was
dated San Francisco, January 9, 1903,
and was witnessed by J. Harris, of
S21 California street.
A card was found in his pocket say
ing to notify John Stommel, Pueblo,
Colo, and E. G. Kanein, San Fran
cisco. They have been notified. The
man no doubt was temporarily insane.

That Is What Republicans Are Trying

Onaga, May 3.-There are between IS

convention was held at the height of
the anti-machine movement and the
boss busters were overwhelmingly in
control of it. Hayden's name was not

from the two counties and is an
ardent anti-Leland anti-Bailey and
anti-machine man. Emory drove in

The well is the only one ever drilled
by railroad company in Kansas, and
is perhaps the first deep hole ever put
down by railroad company for the
purpose of discovering gas. Its prod

also furnishes motor power for the

up engines, which is done quicker

The movement taken by the COM
pany toward drilling another well in

fresh and attractive with a coat OF
enamel. Nothing is prettier for the
sleeping apartment than white, and a
dainty room can be made by having all
the furniture, woodwork, picture frames
and boxes painted with white enamel;
then cover your cushions with a pretty
little rosebud spotted muslin, with cur

the same. You will find that with very
little trouble and small expense you
can make a fairy bower that any one
might envy you.
