Remember the Sabbath Day.

a delegation of the most prominent
women in Kimball called at this Of
flee this week and without comment
or suggestions handed the editor a
synopsis of the laws of South Dakota
pertaining to the observation of the
Sabbath day.
While this town isn't quite as bad
as the town where the editor of the
local paper published the Ten Com
mandments and lost a lot of subscr1b-
ers-who took 1t as a personal reflect
ion-yet in almost all communities in
this fast age there is a disposition to
forget the 'talth of our fathers" and
especially so IN reference to the Sab
bath-which more ard more in this
country is becoming a day of recrea-
tion rather than that of religious
thoughts and actions. But of that
Well moralize some other time. Here
is the law-the civil law-made by a

pie:

This matter is one that all persons
should look out for; justices of the
peace are especially interested in look

the law fall chiefly to them, the min
listers, undertakes and attendants at
births. Parents must decide on a
name for their children within sixty
days after birth under the new law.

Official Paper Of the CITY and County

Word comes Pierre over a grape
vine that Il syndicate, with the presi-
dents of the three national banks at
the head. has been incorporated for
the purpose Of raising funds for con-
structing the first wing of the capitol
building. The amount appropriated
from the sale of public lands was $3.50
600, which includes the $4,000 on
hand and it is for the purpose of rails
ing the remaining s13O, 600 that the
company is formed. The Pierre spec
ial says that sswhile it is not likely
that $1,000 acres could be selected
which would sell for $40 an acre, some
Of it would go at that figure If time
could be allowed" The purpose OF
the syndicate is to advance the cash.
During the capitalcampaigp the state
ment was frequently made by tthe
Pierre crowd that the whole $4,000
acres of capitol endowment lands were
dirt cheap at $40 an acre-if the CAPT
tol remained at Pierre-and during
the agitation of the proposed capitol
building before the last legislature
the statement was made that a syndl.
cate stood ready to buy $3.50, 900 to
$3.50, 900 of the lands at $40 an acre.
The fact of the matter is: but a very
small per cent of the lands east of abe
Missouri will sell today for $40 and
one half Of the total amount, or 40, OOC
acres, lie in the extreme western part
Of the state and won't bring 81 an acre

one half of the total amount, or 40, 600
acres, lie in the extreme western part
of the state and won't bring 81 an acre
We are in receipt of a circular let
ter from Jas. w. Wilson of the Brook
ings Agricultural college asking us to
announce that the success of the
popular excursions to the agricultural
colleges of Iowa, North Dakota and
Minnesota and other states has en-
couraged the faculty into arranging
for an excursion to Brooklngs at low
rates on June ID and IA. at which
time Gov. Elrod and NJ. +. Greeley
will speak-persumably on farm topics.
1t is to be hoped so, in that through
such a procedure possibly the stu
dents attending the college might get
an inkling Of agriculture. The Ar
lington Sun, for intance, makes the
remarkable statement that out of 400
students at the Agricultural (?l col
lege, only Is are taking the agricul-
tural course. Every other branch of
learning, says the Sun, is pursued by
the students, but the great object of
the college-the improvement of the
farmer boys and girls in the art and
science of a%griculture-is neglected
Meantime the government and the
state is putting up the stuff.
The highest price ever paid for lane
in this country was S1,350,OO0 for z
lot eighty-fye feet square, now occu
pied by the American Surety Com
pany's building, at the corne O
Broadway and Pine streets NY. The
corner lot cost $267.67 a square foot.
which is at rate of 81, 100000 an acre
An even higher price, $500 a squar.
foot, is asked for the southeast corne
of Broadway and Wall street, the mos
valuable piece of ground in America
3 which is at the rate of SIT, 4O9, 900 al
acre. There have been two or thre'
sales of property in London at a high
er price, but under peculiar circum
stances. Therefore it may be consid
cred the most costly section of Cod
footstool.
Nan Paterson's attempt to STAN
jpede the box office with a crazy multi

tress was a teetotal failure. The crit
lcisms by the press literally drov
her to abandon her engagement witt

back to her smother's knee" in Wash

means of paying it. Something ir
that, but Nan better keep in the shad

see you whether you buy or not.
They enjoy q good trade and are
happy in the fact that they have a
stock that suits the people.
1t is impossible to describe in SO
short space this well appointed
business house. Their great array
of all kinds Of stoves for the fall and
winter trade consist mostly OF the
known Garland cook stoves, ranges
and heaters, all sizes and prices, and
the great Malleable steel ranges, the
best ON earth. In shelfware they
have the antitrust tinware, granite
goods fr6m a tin cup to "a wash boiler,
and all warranted. Also great ar
ray Of tools, o. V. b. cutlery, building
hardware, Stearns' Mixed Paints,
oils, lubricating oils, guns and am
munition OF all kinds, washers,
wringers, churns, barbwire, the
GAINESVILLE woven wire fence, nails,
butts, bolts, etc. A complete tin
shop is on the second floor where an
expert timer is prepared for any
thing. They will figure on spouting,
roofing and steel siding with all kinds
OF competition.
The adjoining room is their famous
carriage emporium, where they han
die the Stakeholder wagons and car
riages, the Staver and the Moon
buggies, all of which are noted for
their elegance of style, finish and
durability. Here they also keep a
full stock Of single and double light
driving harness, whips, etc.
In farm implements we noted the
Indiana and the Thomas grain drills,
the J. |. Case goods, the johnson
antitrust harvesting machinery,
American manure spreaders, hay
stackers, wind mills, pumps, tanks
and repairs for everything they sell.
They are also agents for the Geiser
and the Prick Co. threshers, engines
and corn shelters. For many years
they have been distributing agents for
these threshers and repairs.

until now the company operates over
one-thousand telephones in Dickinson
county.
About three years ago owing to the
rapid growth OF the business the com
pany was incorporated under the firm
name Of the Brown Telephone Co.
New capital was secured and Elephant
was extended until now the Brown
Telephone Company ownes over four
hundred miles Of toll lines and has
exchanges in Abilene, Enterprise,
Hone and Chapman, besides having
charge of the operation Of direct toll
lines to Kansas City and Topeka.
The growth OF the telephone BUSH
ness has been remarkable. Six years
400 there we're only three towns IN
Dickinson county connected by toll
lines. At the present there are
thirty-thrte toll stations in the
county, every post office being reach
ed by telephone.
The company has also built q great
many farmers INES
its various exchanges, and besides
this has connections with almost one,
thousand subscribers Of the mutual
telephone lines in the county. In
fact. the county is So thoroughly
covered with the met work Of tele-
phone wires il is possible TO reach
almost anyone by telephone.
The company started business In
the second story Of the Reflector
block and continued with its head
quarters there for Eve years, q Which
time Il was found necessary 70 secure

orient Brown Block was purchased

plete as any in Kansas and none OF
like capacity are found outside OF the
larger cities. Housekeeping outfits
complete are found in all styles and
prices and within the means OF all.
It is worth ones time to look through
this stock and know what we have
right here in town.
j. G. Landes came to Kansas twenty
wears ago. For twelve years he raised
stock on his fine farm northeast OF
this city, when he sold out and form
ed a partnership with Mr.. Shockey
in 1898, since which time he has given
his attention to the business.
His two sons are promising young
business men. Otis is bOokkeeper
for the firm, and Herbert is with the
Geizer Mfg. Co. in Kansas city.
Isaac Shockey, who established the
business in 1883 is perhaps the best
known hardware man in central
Kansas. He came here from Mary
land in 1879. In 1890 the firm be-
came Shocky & Co and was compos-
ed Of Isaac and S. M. Shockey and +.
N Miller, and was so until 1894,
when Mr.. Isaac ShOckey bought out
the partners. Mr.. S. M. Shockey is
still with the firm and does the buy
ing. Everett M. Shockey, another
son, is salesman.

HON. J. E. BREWER.

As an example of what a man OF
enterprise and energy can do out
here in Kansas backed by natures
bountiful resources we refer the read
er to the career Of our worthy towns
men the Hon. j. E. Brewer.
He landed in Abilene in 1879 and
clerked in a store for $50 a year for
the first year. While in this capa-
city be studied the details of the
business and practiced economy until
in 1887 he purchased an interest in
the store and in 1895 he purchased
the entire business.
He has thus been in the same
business, in the same location for 70
years. He ewns double brick store
10 which he carries complete stock
of general merchandise and has pack
Ing rooms for the wholesale shipment
Of eggs.
He ships annually 100 car loads of
eggs worth $500 to $4,000 per car
