bring with him lot of presents for
youngsters of this city, but Santa
is an awful busy man on Christmas
eve, having to scoot down the chim-s

some children in Richmond, princi-
pally the poor children who have no
chimneys for him to go down, so the
Palladium is starting a fund which
will be turned over to five prominent
ladies of this city who will buy pres
ents for these poor children who San
ta will no doubt fail to call ON.
The time is short, the cause wor-
thy one and every man, woman and
child in the city, who Saint Nick is
bound to visit, is urged to contribute
no matter how small the sum, so
that every poor child in Richmond
will have his or her lonesome little
heart gladdened by at least one
Christmas token on the day when all
the rest of us are so happy and gay.
Send your name to the Palladium by
mail or carrier Or bring it personally.
The name of each donor will be pub
lished each day. Remember the words
of the Savious cit is better to give

A Dangerous Place.

Cap Lewis has been calling atten-
ton the past few days to something
of a death trap in the rear of the I
o. o. F. hall, and he is right about
it. There was at one time an exit
from the rear or west end of the hall,
but not having been used for num-
Der of years, the stairway has practic-
ally fallen away, the platform still re-
naming but no railing or protection
around it. The hall is frequently
used for entertainments at which
children are present, and during hot
weather the rear door is opened,
and there is nothing to- prevent a
child or grown person from stepping
out and down into space. Either the
door should be kept closed or the
platform protected.

of carved and turned wood, and the
relief map showing the plan of cam
paign in several of tie most import
ant battles of the Civil War, map
that was modelled and colored by the
pupils of the summer school, is a
wonderful piece of work.
In the Palace of Horticulture there
is splendid display on tables, of
fresh fruit that is changed as the new
crops come on, and all the vegetable
resources of the state are shown in
preservative fluid in glass jars. The
most extensive exhibit is that in the
Palace of Agriculture. There is the
relief picture worked out in butter,
showing the old and the new methods
of handling dairy products, and there
is the grain pavilion, marvel of art
and ingenuity. Perched above the
columns that flank the main entrance
are two very lifelike eagles, the one
made of corn husks and the other
of straw. In the center of the pa
vilion, on lofty pedestal that is dec
GRATED with grains and grasses, is the
Kansas steer, not fed, but actually
made of Kansas corn. He looks a
trife large to some of US, but they
really do grow that kind of cattle in
Kansas.
Another striking object is the globe
made of gram, colored to show the
land and water areas of the earth.
Above this is a great cornucopia,
with electric motor attachment, up
held by Cupid made of grits. From
the horn-of-plenty a perpetual stream
of wheat flows down over the globe
to signify that Kansas could furnish
wheat to the whole world. 1t is
scarcely necessary to mention the
majestic Indian made entirely of corn
products, for no one who passes the
booth could fail TO observe him, he is
so tall and lifelike.
The display of natural and other
resources in the various sections of
the Exposition give the world plainly
to understand that Kansas has sur
vived her years of hardship and has
come to be one of the most important
and productive states in the Union.

Brodie Gone, Allison Going.

We acknowledge receipt of a neat
souvenir from Great Bends Colorado
outing party, which bears the inscrip-
ton on one side, "Too BUSY TO
WRITE On the other side is a re-
presentation of a man climbing up a
tree at a pretty lively gait, with a
grizzley close on his heels. A small
card accompanied the souvenir, ex-
planning that the man going up was
Allison, that Brodie was up in the
tree on the extreme end of limb,
and the others of the party were at a
safe distance enjoying the sport.
None had as yet fallen from the dizzy
height at which they have pitched
their tent, but there is no telling when
they might break away and come
down. No doubt they are having lots
of fun.

An Afternoon Reception.

Mrs. Ed. S. Marx and Mrs. DR..
Lindas gave a brilliant reception
Thursday afternoon in honor of Mrs.
Henry Sicher of st. Louis. About
forty ladies were present, and had an
exceptionally fine time. The rooms
and table were handsomely decorated
in light green and white, and the
little girls who assisted were dressed
in the same colors. Delicious re-
freshments were served, and in the
guessing contest Mrs. r. A. Charles
won the prize. The afternoon was
much appreciated by all who attended.
Last Saturday night lightning
struck Jim Clarke's wheat granary
out in Clarence township, and tore it
up considerably, but did not set it
on fire. The night before, there was
crew of harvest hands sleeping In
the granary. To them it was surely
a lucky Friday.

Whitcomb-Johnson.

The marriage of George Whitcomb
and Miss Myrtle Johnson was con-
sumated Thursday morning at the
home of the brides parents in the
second ward, the ceremony, being per
formed by Rev. Sutherland, in the
presence of the relatives of the con-
tracing parties. These young peo-
pie are so we'll known that they need
no introduction. For the past 10
years, the bride, who is daughter of
W. S. Johnson, has been an employ
ee of the Beacon and DEMOCRAT
offices, and was one on whom the
employers could always rely. Geo.
Whitcomb was formerly with the c.
Samuels Co., but for the past two
years has been Santa Fe employee,
and now has run from Dodge City
to La Junta. The young couple left
on the morning train for Denver and
other Colorado points, and after a
short wedding trip, will be at home
at Dodge City. The DEMOCRAT joins
their host of friends in wishing them
happiness and JOY throughout their
welded life.

HOT TIMES AT MENA,
Temperance War Brings on Fist
Eiqhts and Bad Blood.

Mena, June 21.-There have been
disturbances, fist fights, excited talk
and police and justice court trials
here all week over the attempt of
James Earl, backed by the Prohibit
tionists of the city, to break up the
alleged blind tigers by detective
work. Earl is the brother-in-law of
Rev. H. S. Lumley of this city, and
came here a few days ago He is
carpenter and has been working
at his trade here. The Prohibition
lists have been active since the meet
ing held here some weeks ago by a
temperance agitator, J. G. Adams.
Earl, acting for the temperance
people. is alleged to have under
taken to get evidence against the
"tigers" by buying whisky from them
and then informing the officers and
having the offenders arrested. Then.
it is claimed, he would testify against
them.
''SNo

Joe Camden, was acquitted, as the
prosecuting witness failed to identity
him. Before the third case could

secured revolver and sailed forth.
He was then arrested for carrying
deadly weapons.
Several of the tiger" people were
arraiened before Justice Smith and
peace bond required. Two or three
fist fights occurred at this trial. An
other trial was held today. The cases
were all postponed until today.
This county voted dry at the last
election and there is strong feeling

most sectional and the most dangerous
man who has ever been named for
president. He is nor only a menace
to the peace of the country with for
eign nations, but he is also a menace
to the peaceful relations between the
white and the black races. He is the
worst enemy today OF the negro in
the United States. for he is the most
conspicuous in making him a political
issue"
The Commercial Appeal lays the re-
sponsibility for the plank upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt. and remarks:
If he is honest and sincere. and is
actuated by sole desire to elevate
the negro. he is to be feared and pitlel
for his erring judgment, which has led
him 10 disturb the peace of a nation
and revive sectional discomfort. dis
trust and hatred. If he is using the
negro as a political asset, he is too
to be again intrusted

the equivalent of saying: Let ne

In the opinion of thoughtful south

whole has no desire to have a large
negro representation from the South
and has no real wish to restrict the
white representation from that sec

about such result has been defeated
