cd the Flowers in the capacity Of
Mascot, proved himself 10 be the
only real, live, luck producer for
a ball team ever discovered this
far west. When Happy stood on
his head and waved his neither
limbs frantieally in the ozone it
was n sure indication that trouble
was brewing and that somebody
was about TO get licked. When he
gathered the bats all together and
"hovered" them AS a hen would IA

long as Happy could keep the bats
under control there would be no
serious bloodshed. Had the Flow.
ers given Happy the support which
was due him there would have
been nothing 10 il and the Reds
would have been known no more
forever. The main point at issue
at the beginning of the game was
which team would win the greatest
victory-for II was sure thing
that both sides were going to win,
Jack Jarvis pitched the game for
the Reds and Jim Kennedy filled
the box for the Flowers in neat
and artistic manner. Jack really
pitched bum game. He doesn't
throw nearly so nice a ball to hit
as he did when he was school
kid. He throws them too hard for
one thing, and too crooked for an-
other. II Jack don't mend his
ways and learn to throw u decent
ball the batting record will be punk
in this county at the end of the
season. Kennedy pitched a fine
game. The boys had no trouble
hitting him; he tossed 'em in nice
ond easy like and the way the
scores rolled in was a caution. He
pitched o whole lot nicer ball TO
hit than he did a year or two ago.
Dave McBane, who was almost to
modest to go into the game on ac-
count of his age and embonpoint,
proved to his own and the grand
stands satisfaction that "the race
is not always to the swift nor the
battle TO the strong" but that an
old fat man can bat o ball and
break the ice and save the day
from a whitewash even unto the
eighth inning.

POST MORTEM KINDNESS.

Life's sunshine Is braided with
Deaths shadow. We have attended
many funerals-one stands out with
special sadness. The faithful wife
and mother lay still and at rest. The
flowers were many and beautiful.
Always and every where appropriate,
their perfumed lips spoke of the eter-
nal gardens and the lily sang its
gladstone Easter song. The service
was over. There was last fond kiss
and look. AS the heart broken daugh-
ter left the coffin she said: Mamma
loved fiowers-she never had many
but she has now" Yes we thought,
but how much better it had been if
some of these beautiful flowers had
sweetened the mothers heart before it
was stilled in death.
Poor Carlyle! He little appreciated
the wife who cared for him So kindly
and made possible his literary success.
It all came to him after she died. He
went to the place where she was last
seen alive, barred his head in the wind
and the rain, and said: "Oh If l
could but zee her for five minutes to
assure her that had really cared for
her throughout all that! But she
never knew it-she never knew it!'
Mary gave the alabaster box Of af-
lection before the Lords death.
Many others delay until the flowers
they send are for the sepulchrs. Bet
ter late than never. Better never
late. The kind words you intend to
say. say now. The sympathy you
expect to show. show now. Record
your love now in your friends toll
some days not in the future on his
dreary tombstone. What are hot
tears on the marble brow-loving
words in the heavy ear-or a frag
rant rose in Deaths white fingers?

ABOUT BOND ISSUES.

For great many years one of the
biggest bugaboos has been the matter
of bond issues by the various govern
ments from the national down to the
smallest of municipalities, and it is a
wholesome thought to conceive that
public sentiment in that respect IS
undergoing a wonderful and proper
change. By practical demonstration
it has been shown that the most pros.
porous communities are those who do
not hesitate to issue bonds for q
public improvement when such i'm.
provement has become a necessity,
and we do not know of q single in
stance where the inhabitants as a
whole, or in any considerable part,
lament such measures after the i'm
provement has been acquired, or where
the taxation has become actually
burdensome on account of these bond
issues.
Under the very satisfactory arrange
ment that allows the issuing of bonds
great deal of the expense is saddled
on "posterity, and while this is
feature often objected to, it should be
borne in mind that posterity will be
the greatest beneficiary, and should
therefore be willing to bear reason
able part of the cost; and if the future
generation is worth considering at all
in the matter it will be more than
willing to do this. There will prob
ably be more people then than now
anyway, the property will be worth
more and the proportionate taxes less.
Public improvements invariably in
crease property values and decrease
many incidental expenses therefore
the new generation will have great
or income, a smaller tax rate and less
expense for public improvements.
Besides, we have feeling that
somebody has discouraged those who
are too solicitous for posterity by
asking "What has posterity ever done
for s?''- Raymond Gazette.

FROM DR.. WHITWORTH
Attention should be Given by All to
Cleaning Up Premises.

| desire to call the attention of the res
idents Of Dodge City and Ford county to
the following statement by the Secretary
of the Kansas State Board Of Health and
to urge upon the people the necessity OF
complying with the suggestion of the
state board relative to the cleaning Of
premises of all material likely to be
detrimental to individual health and the
health Of the community.
In his April report the secretary Of the
state board of health DR.. Crumbine, says: /:
II desire once more to call the atten.
ton Of county health officers to the mat
ter Of keeping faithful record Of all
births and deaths occurring In their coun.
ty, giving names, dates, places. etc.
This record book should also compre.
hend faithful record Of all epIdemics
Of contagious diseases, together with an
abstract Of such reports as are sent to
this office. There are many times when
these records are Of great value, not only
from statistical and medical standpoint,
but from pecuniary standpoint In the
settlement of estates, etc.
"The reports received for the month
of March Indicate an increase Of all cpl
demic contagious diseases, particularly
that Of smallpox, and 10 Is urged that
disinfectien Of all infected places and
things be thorough and complete, that
the epidemic may be controlled and mol
break out again upon the arrival of cold
weather next fall. Now that sp ring /,
upon us and that warm weather may be
anticipated very soon, II becomes the
duty Of the health officer to take a sanI
tary survey of bis county, recommending
the cleaning of stables, alleys, feed lots
etc., the burning of refuse material, and
a general sani tary cleaning up Of bis Ell
tire county or city,"
also suggest that the material to bt
removed from the yards and alleys be
deposited where 1t will not be conetan
menace to the health of our city. Where
that depository should be, we must leav,
for the worthy council of the city to de
eide. The refuse Of our kitchens may bt
easily burned In the range. Even deaf
fowls may be quickly disposed of In th'
same way. We ask the hearty ooopera
tion of the people in improving the sani-
tary condition of our homes.

FAIR. AND REUNION
Both to be held the same week on a
big scale

=
big scale
A meeting was held by the CONNER
cial club on Monday night at which the
matters Of entertaining the Southwest
Veterans reunion, securing the State re-.
union, and taking steps for the annual
meeting Of the Ford county fair were
discussed. These ale important events
and the club felt that they should be
carefully looked after and that an early
decision should be made on plans for
them.
1t was decided that II would be best to
not undertake to secure the State reunion,
but to give all our energy towards max
ing the other meetings big success.
The conclusion was reached that the
visitors could be better entertained and
pleased BY holding one all week meeting
during which both the reunion and fair
should be held, This kind Of q meeting
will be much bigger event than either
could be made by itself. and 1t is the pur.
pose to make the week very attractive
one.
Parties who drive long distances may
then camp In the park, enjoy pleasant
outing and attend both the reunion and
the fair.
The idea is not to detract from the I'M
portauce of either meeting but to make
them In every way better and more at
tractive.
A COMMITTEES from the commercial club
will confer with the Veterans assocla-
tion regarding the matter and ifarrange'
ments can be satisfactorily settled pre-
parations will be made at once to boom
the big Dodge City meeting.
