From the Clarion.
A new boy baby was born to Joe
Ellis AID wife in the west part of
town on the 10th.
Mr.. and NJ. L. Allen are. the happy
parents of a new boy baby whic h

The two-year-old son of J. Deppiese

after an illness of two weeks with
lung fever. The funeral was held on
the 18th.
Walter McNutt and wife left Tues

rheumatism.
About thirty of the lady friends Of
Mrs. o. B. Looney met at an appoint

home to give her a big surprise in
honor of her birthday anniversary.
The past week has certainly been
good one on the growing wheat crop.
A little moisture almost every day
and just warm enough to make It
grow nicely. The prospect for q
good crop never looked better at this
season of the year.

The County Teachers.

About forty teachers attended the
Comfy Association held here last
Saturday, which was very good at
tendance considering the unpleasant
weather. 1t was disappointing how
ever to note that of all the teachers
who had a place on the morning pre-
gram only one was present, Miss
Birdie Manning. The young ladies of
the high school who were on the pro-
gram as usual were to be depended
upon and the book reviews by Maude
Nimocks and Wipnifred Kerr showed
careful preparation and were very IL
teresting.
A quartet consisting of Misses
Carrie Castle, Helen Lobdel, Carrie
Crilly and Grace Remmick enter
tanned the teachers at the beginning
of the afternoon exercises. The re-
mainder of the program for the after
noon consisted of discussions of
Method in Education in which most
of the teachers took part.
Had there been little better prep
aration on the part of some of the
teachers to take part in the discus
sions, this would have fbeen the best
meeting of the year. Since nearly all
school boards honor the certificates
of attendance at the associations, the
teachers are placed under a greater
oblig ation to take an active part in
the meetings so as to make them
worth what they cost.

More Sidewalk.

There have been several stretches of
new sidewalk ordered by the city
council recently. and there will be one
or more petitions presented at the
next regular meeting. We can use all
the sidewalk that can be built. There
are some portions of the city that
have really been neglected in thi S
matter, but we feel certain that under
the present condition of the city
finances, which permit the building
of crossings to connect the walks, the
neglected portions should be recog-
nized. There are some of the side
streets that need walks quite bad. On
those streets 'there should be walk
on at least one side connecting the
east and west streets. On the east
side of block 81 is little strip about
100 feet that could be filed in, and
on the east side of biloxi IS there
might be a walk, and a connecting
crossing on Broadway. A sidewalk
costs money but it adds to the value
of property, and most people can
build them now.

FATHER THEN SPEAKS TO OLD
SOLDIERS.

The address of the day was that of
Father Then. He is a favorite with the
old soldiers and never fails to- please
them. Among many other interesting
things he said: .'rhis country.is yours
from coast to coast; from the humblest
cottage to the finest mansion. You
bought # at the risk Of your lives and
many Of You paid for it With lost
limbs and scars of battle. Your IL
fdence IS worth more TO this nation
|than any other influence within It's
borders. would ask you to- devote
the remainder of yourisss to-. the
spreading of the spirit Of patriotism
Which you possess Father tTihen
spoke fully half an hour and the
audience was lozth to have him leave

COMMENCE NOW,
Here is Some Work For The Creates
Great Bend Boosters.

The condition of Main street the
past day or two has revealed one
more much needed improvement
which has been mentioned by US in
the past, but was not included in the
article in Fridays paper. That is the
need Of sidewalk alcng the outer
edge of the court house park.
A farmer comes to town and he
can not hitch any place except to the
chain, and then he has to tramp blue
grass or wade mud in order ro> reach
the sidewalk.
We do not want him to tramp down
the grass, and he does not care to
wade the mud. There should be a
gutter of brick or cement constructed
WHICH would carry off the water, and
then an eight foot sidewalk built, clear
around the park with crossings con-
meeting with the opposite side at each
corner.
It would be an Improvement that
is needed, that would be appreciated
by our friends, and will add to the
beauty of the city and the park. Let
the club be organized and get to
work,

love him, Frank Dell, the father of

Judge OsIe Has a Birthday.

Judge Ogle is celebrating his 18th
birthday Wednesday. He was royalty
treated by the employees of the
Hotel Greene, where he boards, and
by other boarders at that institution.
They had a nice birthday cake baked
for him, his table handsomely deco
rated, and many presents that had
been sent in by friends were properly
labeled and stacked up around his
plate. 1t certainly made him feed
mighty good, and he hopes to live IL
years more if that is the way they are
going to act.

GRAIN LETTER.
By A. II. McDearmott Commisson
Co.-Of6ce Over Crescent Grocery

OO.@OnSC otCI SIcSSSnl 6fOCeIy
Chicago, March 22,-Wheat was
about unchanged at the opening this
morning. but heavy selling by the
southwest induced by Continued
favorable crop prospects eventually
overwhelmed the market carrying the
July wheat down, the May and Sep
tembeT following somewhat in sympa-
thy. The big. traders in st. Louis
and elsewhere in the southwest have
a settled conviction that big wheat
crop is in sight and they are backing
their faith with their cash. Miuneap-
oils reported a good demand for cash.
Shipments from there amounted to
81, 900 bushels and $4,000 barrels of
-four for the day. The holders of
May wheat in the Chicago market. are
standing pat. With cash wheat
selling here around 117 it looks as
though the men who were selling July
wheat under 90 cents were burning
their bridges. behind them. We ad-
wise the purchase of July wheat at
present prices.

FRANK DeM,-BOyu May 9TH, X4I,
DIED MareA 18th, 1905.
1t is with profound regret that we
make this minute of the decease of
another Member of Pap Thomas Post
No. 50, G. A. R., and Private of
Co. F, 10th, New York Infantry.
The frequency of such calls upon
US should impress US seriously with
the beauty of life, surely we spend
our lives as tale that is told. The
story of his life is one of gentleness
and goodness of heart, kindly dis
position and general integrity of
character which we can not too
highly commend, and which qualities
each of US can appropriate with
profit.
In view of the loss of our Comrade,
Be it, REsoLvED:-1st... We ex-
press our sincere sorrow and regret.
2nd,-We offer our heartfelt sym
pathy to the sorely bereaved widow
and children, who will most keen1y
feel the loss of him, and in their be-
half we invoke comfort from Him who
can console them in their sorrow.
3rd.-That a copy of this minute
be presented to the bereaved family
of our Comrade, and recorded in the
minutes of our Post.

T satisfaction than any other

better satisfaction than any other
header
So We are still selling the Hodge
header, improved, also the Craver
header, the Queen binder, the Hodge
mower and rake, the Keystone bin
der, which is the improved -McCor-
mick, see it and you will say so, and
the Keystone mower. All of these
machines are out of the trust. Nor
does Rockefeller or Standard Oil have
a hold on them, or directing hand in
their business, as they have in the Nc
Cormick, Deering, Plano, Milwaukee,
and Champion. They have combined
these machines together into one
company, and the name and identity
of the machines will soon be lost, be-
cause Rockefeller has hold on them
and whatever he says goes. Just as he
tells you what kind of oil you shall
burn, and what you shall pay for it,
he will soon tell you what kind of ma
chimes you must use, because they are
dismantling some of the best factories
that manufacture harvesting machin-
cry, and put them to manufacture rakes,
drills, gasoline engines Weber
wagons, etc.
If you patronize them, and keep
them going, they will soon catch you,
as they have caught others, or if they
don't, you are simply and instrument
in making them stronger and larger,
so they can control the goods, and
you, all the more, as time rolls on.
With all the hustle and hustle, and
toll and care, there are times when
we would like to lay these burdens
aside, and take little pleasure as we
60 along. And how much nicer and
better it is, to have it so all can enjoy
it, by letting our Mr.. Lindsey put a
Packard, Fischer, Valley Gem,
Kroeger, Kingsbury, Ellington, or
Smith & Barnes piano in your house
on trial, or Farrand or Putnam
organ. If you take the organ now, we
will trade with you, and give you a
piano, later or.
One of the most wonderful inven-
tons of the times is the talking ma
chine. We handle the Victor and the
Edison, and nothing will enliven and
make pleasant the passing hour, as
one of these machines in your home.
And, if the boys and girls want
little enjoyment at the same time, get
them a mandolin, violin, banjo. or
guitar, to accompany the piano.
If you don't want any of these, just
step little aside in our music room,
and see our line of handsome SEWN g
machines, at $500, $4,000, and
S25. 90 each, warranted for five years.
Again we say, leave your order for
a Hodge header, Queen binder, the
Keystone binders and mowers, the
Ideal and Samson windmills, the
Graid King feed grinder, the Newton
feed grinder, and the Nichols & She
pard threshing machine.
Yours very truly.
