ever attending from this county. The
percent of teachers attending being

awarded by the association to- the
county having the largest percent of
teachers attending. This prize is u
handsome silk flag.
We enjoyed a very pleasant and
beneficial visit in the state capital
where we attended the most inspiring
and Instructive teachers association
ever held in the state. We also Wis
tied the flood districts of north Tope-
ka, the insane asylum, attended the
governors reception, climbed the
dome of the capitol building and Wis
tied the boys Industrial school.
The two boys from this county,.
George Winchester and Sylvester
Martin, are getting along nicely both
in school work and industrial depart
ments, and seemed very glad to see
US.
Our entire delegation except four
went to Lawrence Friday morning to
the Carnegie Loan Exhibit of Fine
Paintings aud visited the many hand

State University and the Haskel In

much fatigued but greatly inspired
by our adventures.

Kinsleyite to become prideful. We
confess to tendency to be proud of
our friends any way and the humor
aud pathos, the flashes of wit and bits
of tender sentiment in their talks
made the celebration of the fourteenth
anniversary OF the club one to be re-
membered. As the years pass by
some go away, others have signs of
the snow of years in their hair, their
children grow up and go out in the
world for themselves, and this group
of friends who have spent many
pleasant evenings together are all go-
log toward the setting sun. They
are nearly all busy people, business
men whose names mean something in
our town, and women fulfilling their
share of ife's responsibilities. and the
evenings spent at the pleasant pastime
of whist are seasons of recreation.
May they all live long and prosper.

the first issue of stock and so identi-
fy themselves with the progressive
element in their county who believe in
keeping II good thing at home and
sharing it with home folks. If our
citizens take hold of this project with
intelligent zeal it can be put through
to successful issue, so let all join
in the boosting process and not sit
back and kick and say it can't be
done just because it has not been
done heretofore. 1t is perfectly true
that rs a rule the counties of Kansas
have sat still and allowed the outsid-
ers to skim the cream from their milk,
but that constitutes mighty poor
reason for allowing the process to
continue. Any man with half an eye
can see at a glance that a road built
through the great wheat belt to Wich-
ita and thence to Mobile will be Il
paying one from the start, and this
road will be built by some one some
time just as certainly as the sun rises
1t is as much commercial necessity
as the present road to Kansas City
1t is but question of time aud would
doubtless come some day without
our help-but who can say when? II
might be years hence if We sit idly by
and wait for outside capital to take
the initiative. What we want is the
road now, while we are still on earth
to reap the benefits. So we say again.
let US all put our shoulders to the
wheel aud help push a good thing

1.-THE KING IS DEAD; LONG LIVE THE KING
A Business Meeting of the Organizers of the Com
pany Was Held Tuesday Night at Which
Subscriptions Were Raised to Pro-
mote the New Road.

In our midst railroad has died in
a day and another, born from its
ashes, has risen to take its place. 1t
is now an old story that Mr.. eyes
has for some months been working on
a railway project called the Wichita. :.
Arkansas Valley & Denver, crossing
this county through this city. We
have all wanted the road and each in
our own way done what we could to
push the project along. Some time
since it became apparent that MIR.
eyes was contendtng with difficulties
which we could not know of, as we
were not in his confidence, but recent
developments have brought to light
the fact that it was lack of money
caused by the hackers OF the scheme
declining to put up any more funds.
This of course has embarrassed Mr..
eyes very much and finally resulted,
after the recent cold bath given him
by our contemporary. in his throw
ing up his hands and stating that his
company had become discouraged
and abando doned him to his fate. Sen
ator Smith then suggested that new
company be formed of our local
business men and the project put
through from this end of the line. a
subscription paper has been circulat-
ed and the necessary money raised
for procuring charter and doing 9TH
er preliminary work. A meeting of
the subscribers was held in the sena-
tors Office Tuesday night and board
of eleven directors selected from the
subscribers. The board Immediately
organized and elected G. E. Wilson
treasurer. One-half of the money
subscribed will be collected at once
and q charter procured. Mr.. eyes
becomes stock holder in the road
and turns over to the new company
all surveys and righi of way procured
by him in his work heretofore.
Senator Smith will go to Topeka
for the charter and as soon as he re-
turns the commissioners will be asked
TO call d Specldt Stec1tOu 1O EOtc diu
bonds in the townships crossed by
the line, which will be practically
where it is now laid out. No maa
will be asked to donate dollar to
this corporation for which he does
not receive full value in the stock of
the company. The farmers as we'll as

Club Notes.

The first Woman's Club meeting of
1904 was held a. the home of Mrs. H.
NJ. Schnatterly on "Wednesday after
noon. Mrs. Hire gave the paper of
the afternoon on "Song Writers OF
France. 1t was a very delightful
one with its glimpses of the person
alities of the musicians. The paper
was supplemented by some musical
criticisms by Fink in which he is very
unfriendly to some favorite compos-
ers, Chaminade particularly.
William Ordway Partridge's DE
mands of Art in This New Republic
in the September Arena was read and
discussed.
The next meeting is with Mr.. Ed

| spur of the woods. In the latter part
OF the afternoon there was smart and
sudden shower Some OF the soldiers
sought shelter under the trees, and it
was remembered that the demented
waIderer went with them. but not a
| man of that force saw him afterward,
except picket on the road toward
Gredskov, who In the early evening
challenged a shadow fitting bysi the
edge of some bushes, fired upon it and
then decided that 1t must have been a
wild animal II. indeed, 1t was not q
product of his own imagination.
At daybreak u Circassian outpost in
sight Of the walls of Gredskov halted
grotesque and travel worn creature,
apparently demented, yet with wit
| enough to know'his own business, and
after brief questioning sent him into
the city under guard Of a single man to
find Captain varnek, for wham he as.
serted thot he had an important mes
sage.
If Darrell had declared that his bust
ness was with Prince KilZlar, it might
have been looked upon as the custom
airy delusion of Il crank, and had he
shown the Princess Nera's order at
such an early stage of the proceedings
other hands than his would probably
have delivered 1t. Therefore lie had
named Varnek, the officer who had
been charged with his execution, whom
Korna had described as friend-cer-
tainly man devoted to the khan and
well suited to be Darrells Intermediary
In this matter
1t appeared, however, when they
were within the city that Captain Var
mex was not an easy man to find. OAR
rells guide was directed here and there
with the greatest positiyeness in each
case, but always wrongly, and Darrell
was on the point of attempting direct
communication with Kilz!ar when the
problem was solved in an unexpected
manner.
In the open space beside the prison a
great crowd was gathered. and aG OAR
rell and his guard passed in the course
OF their search they heard the sound of
music and saw in the midst of the
throng a considerable body of troops
drawn up in hollow square Two tail
timbers with a crossbar on top seemed
to define most disinally the occasion Of
this gathering.

"They will hang him." exclaimed
Darrell in horror at the fate of this
man to whom he owed his own life

REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANcE.

The extravaganza OF the present adj
is a difficult matter for
its apologists to explain. First there
is the deficit for the fiscal year 1894
OF over Sal, 100000 staring them in the
face. which has reduced the available
cash balance in the United States
Treasury to the zero point, SD that
Secretary Shaw will probably have to
again call on the banks for smother
installment of the cash they hold and
on which they pay no interest. IL is
all very we'll to call the payments for
the Panama Canal an 'extraordinary"
expense and so excuse the present con-
ditions There are other expenses that
this administration has piled up that
are equally extraordinary that no ex-
cuses can palliate or gloss over.
Take the expenditures for the year
before the war with Spain, when the
Democrats we're in power and the APP
preparations made by the Republicans
for the present year. and the extrav-
agance OF the present administration
is at once apparent.
