occurred to him that he had left all Of bis

he had locked the door to his room from

with the night clerk, made the run up

broke bis door in. From now on he will

TO The MEMBERS
OF the Harrison Burial Association
Of this County

To rho Public, and Members Of the
Harrison Mutual Burial Association:
Having bought the Association, take
this method Of notifying The general pub.
lie Of The fact, aud Of begging all mem
bers who are In arrears to relnStats, and
all others to enlist with us. 1t is a
mutual concern and a great benef! to all
Of lts members, considering the amount
Of money invested.
10 the Business Men: We need your
support, your influence. When has there
been a ysar 10 the history OF Dodge City
that you have not been called on to con-
tribute to the burial Of some worthy per
son who has met with misfortune? And
have you not contributed from 81 10 s.
and done 1t with feeling that 1t was
duty as well as a privilege9 Now stop
and think how many yon might have
helped with that amount Of money.
Not only what the amount paid would
have done, but II you would join the
Association aud keep up your member
ship and encourage others they will join
and thereby be prepared for that day
which ls sure to come.
To the members Of the Association, in
regard to the assessment now being taken,
which In reality Is a half rate, we wish to
state that in accordance with former olIs-
toms we are taking a full rate to save ex-
pense and the trouble of members com.
Ing twice to pay the same small amount,
but only hall Of The amount will be paid
out at this time and the other half will be
held In the reserve fund until such time
as another half rate death occursaud then
1t will 10 paid without leveying an
assessment. 1t Is my opinion that the
proper thing would be to collect one full
rate assessment In advance and held In
the reserve fund to draw upon to pay each
benefit In full. do not believe that we
would have to take more than one or two
until VIC would be able to psy each bens-
fit In full as they accrue. | would like to
hear from the members on the subject.
would say also that the books are open
for Inspection 10 anyone. | will say here
thai II matters no. who you employ as
undertaken you will be credited with the
full amount collected and II members are
'sllling 10 pay an extra assessment or
two that we will guarantee that eaOh
claim will be paid III full from this on.

young man bad long COW rope attached

That Is the Name of Dodge city's
Public Park.
The GLOBE. REPUBLICAN had a half.
column article in type this week urging
that The city park BIZ named Wright Park.
The council didn't need any "urgiug"
however, for 1t passed such 4 resolution
last night and the park Is now "WrIghl
Park" Every person who Id any
way assisted in getting thls superb park
under The public ownership Of the city
has earned the gratitude Of the public
for all time, and they cannot be bonored
too highly, but even with the work and
expenditures Of these publlc'spirited men
Dodge City could not have had such a
park II Mr.. Wright had not put out those
trees long ago. 10 appreciation Of that
act Of his tho park baa been be named
Wright park" and will be known by
that name for all time. When he planted
those trees be added to the value Of
every bit Of property In Dodge City.
The park gives the stranger a better
opinion OF the whole county than he
would have If Ii was not here. 1t Is
something that Is, since we have 1t, hard
to appreciate fully, and Mr.. wright's act
Of planting 1t is easily forgotten aud
psrllap. has been forgotten already by
many who are, really not ungrateful at
heart. 1t would be a good plan to yet to
work and label the palk with name
that would keep in mind that the man
who plants trees 10 Western Kansas, at
least in this part Of 1t Is appreciated by
the people who arc able thereby to sit In
the shade.
