Orr took the case, but said that ac-
cording to an invariable rule he would
first write to Banks and give him an
opportunity to settle out of court. Will
liams objected to this, but finally yield

evening with the letter, and by Friday
was in Clarinda under different name.
1t is clear that while here he had In
tercepted the letter to Banks, wrote
reply and enclosed forged check
for 5000 signed by Charles Banks on
the Commercial Savings Bank Of this
city, and mailed it here to William Orr.
Then he went back to Clarinda to
await the return Of Mr.. Orr from Chi
cago. At first he refused to accept
the 5000, saying he would have $500
or push the suit against Banks, but
finally yielded with apparent reluc-
lance, accepted the check and directed
Mr.. Orr to take out his fee and give
him the balance, which was done.
When the check reached the bank on
which 1t was drawn the forgery was at
once detected. but the swindler was
out Of reach. Mr.. Orr is president of
the Clarinda Trust and Savings bank,
but devotes his time to the practice
of the law. He is also president of the
Clarinda Chautauqua Association.

Paul Gilmore EnstFhe Mummy and

to say that if the people Of the city

from witnessing oae of the cleverest
comedies that has ever been put on the
stage in this city. /.
Paul Gilmore ii the leading role Of

him, and he gives 1T the touch OF the
thorough artist. He does not rant nor
paw the air, butsat all times gives the

AS nature artist Mr.. Skovgaard
has revisited the scenes of his boyish
triumphs, appearing in London, Paris
and Berlin, where he received fatter-
recognition. His violin is a famous
Stradivarius and between himself and
the instrument there seems to be an al
most living sympathy. AS a performer
Mr.. Skovgaard is graceful and easy
in manner, his remarkable skill en-
abling him TO perform the most difficult
movements with such surprising ease
that the uninitiated do not always APP

FAIRFAX SATISFIED WITH TERMS
independent Company Have nc
Complaint to Offer.

That there is two sides to the ques-

Central to treat fairly with the inde-
pendent companies is demonstrated in
one instance, at least, and that is the
case of the independent company at
Fairfax, which bough outline exchange
of the Minnesota Central in that city.
1t appears that previous to the sale
of theexehange toithe independent COM
pany, the farmers had organized and
had built lines into Fairfax, being
given connections with the Minnesota
Central, and in asrecent letter from a
resident Of that place and a stock
holder in the independent company
| the Minnesota Central is given the
credit of having acted in every way tic
the best interest Of the village and the
farmers who were desirous of coming
into the city.
The letter also refers. to the pernici
Gus activity of VIM. Frank against the

control the 5tuation apparently
through spite. The Review is inclined

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.
Few People Realize the Value This
Business is to This County.

Mr.. Marsh, the former secretary of
the Barton County PoultY Associ-
alton, in talking with one of the
publishers of this paper the other
evening made the statement that
many of our own people do not seem
to realize the Importance of the poul-
try business to this community. He
gets enquiries from all parts of the
country concerning the matter, and
says that Great Bend shas won rep
utation as poultry center" And
why not? Do you know the amount
of poultry and poultry products that
is shipped out of Great Bend? One
firm alone has, during the past year,
shipped to the value of $4,000 or
$4,000 month. This same shipper
buys and ships from other points also,
but he freely asserts that the class of
stuff he gets at Great Bend is of
higher grade than at any other point.
And why? Can you tell US, reader?
Is it not the natural outcome of the
efforts of the gentlemen who, through
the county association, with its
annual shows, have been building up
the grade of our poultry; encouraging
the raising of graded instead of scrub
fowls; getting the people to observe
the difference between breeds, and
profit thereby?
Some people belittle the Chicken
show" and discourage its promotion,
claiming they can see no direct bene
fits following. We can see where
great general benefits have accrued,
and weshope that the county Poultry
Associations:swil continue the good
work, and that all large minded and
public spirited men and women will
give it :: electromagnetic it has
earned. Instead of 80 or 40 members
the association should have 800 OF
400 members willing to pay 81 a yeal
in dues to- keep up the association.
