There Are Knockers Abroad.

The knocKer we have always
with us. He hobs up at all times,
and under all circumstances. For
instance: On Tuesday, the first
day of the fair, he got busy on a
new tack. Some unreliable
chump started the story that this
was the last fair the association
would give; that the ground the
association owns is too valuable
to devote to fair purposes, and
that after the 1906 fair, the
ground would be sold, and the
proceeds divided up.
The Fair Association authorizes
US to say that there is no truth
in the fool statement; that 1.-THE
Barton County Fair will be an an
nual feature for an indefinite
period; and the only dividends re-
ceived will be in the way of
premiums paid on exhibits by our
people, so long as the people want
a county fair maintained.
The fancy front of the new
Morrison Bros. building on
Broadway is now going up.

One Thomas Drill Sells Another.

Une ln0mdS DRILL Sells Another.
Here are three letters from
three brothers to each of whom
We have sold a Thomas disc drill.
August Is, 1906.
Dear Sirs:-
The Thomas disc drill has given
entire satisfaction. 1t is a good
deal like the Superior but with a
number of improvements. 1t is
built stronger than most drills
and the principle for oiling the
discs is away ahead of anything |
have seen. If | we're to buy
another drill it certainly would be
a Thomas.
(Signed) NJ. A. Stickney.
August 90, 1906.
Dear Sirs:-
Two years ago | purchased a
Thomas disc drill of your Hoising.
ton store and l have vet to find
the first fault with it. have
used the Superior drills too but |
think the Thomas excels it in
several ways. The Thomas is
lighter draf' and puts the seed in
The gOund better. The Thomas is
also more lasting machine, es-
pecially in the disc ones.
A friend recommended the drill
to me when | purchased and feel
that | should do the same to
others.
(Signed)A. L. Stickney.
August q, 1906.
Bears Sirs:-
The Thomas drill | purchased
from you last fall is the best drill
| have ever used. Ihave used the
Superior drill some but | find the
Thomas drill more satisfactory.
1t takes oil better. the bearings
of the discs being more dust proof
and the discs are held more rigid
ly IN place Than on the Supe, ior.
The Thomas drill discs are set to
cut a little wider, SOW the gain in
wider rows, giving each plant a
little more room to grow.
(olgned) H. P. Stickney.
Come in and see the Thorn as
drill. We will show you the
seeding part in operation, sowing
butter beans, wheat, oats, corn,
alfalfa seed, wire nails and screws
all at the same time.
If YOU need a corn binder do
not fail to see our johnson corn
binder. 1t is the simplest ma
chine on the market and still it is
better built with more care and
better material than any machine
made BY the trust. Do not fail
to see us if you want a cornbinder
IA of them have come and gone.
since our Mr.. E. R. Moses started
in business over thirty years ago
in Great Bend, he has seen four
teen other dealers come here and
locate for a short time and then
leave. During all this time the
guarantee of the E. R. Moses Mer-
camille Co. has always been good.
You know when you buy a guar
anteed buggy here, that the guar
antee is worth 10C cents on the
dollar. We always stand ready
to make good any defective goods
we sell and you can count on it as
absolutely certain that you will
get your moneys worth every
time you buy a buggy from US.
We do not ask your buggy trade
solely on the strength of our
guarantee but We can asve you
twenty to thirty dollars on every
buggy you buy.

At The FAIR GROUNDS
The Barton County Fair Opens with
The Best Display Of the Products of
the County Ever Shown.

ncSudy SUUWeu GlldG Tile people
of Barton County were taking a
big interest in the fair this year,
in spite of several malicious rum.
Ors that have been in circulation
for some days past in regard to
the inability of the association to
make creditable showing An,
other rumor was that the associa-
tion had decided to make this the
last fair they would hold and
would dispose of their real estate
holdings as soon as this fair was
over. There is not one atom of
truth in any of these stories.
President Brougher of the as
ISOLATION said to a reporter Tues.
day evening that they had no in
tention of selling their property
and that there had been no thought
of disseminating the annual fairs.
There are some people in this
world who just naturally can't
help knocking on everything in
sight, no matter whether they are
interested or not.
But we did not intend to say so
much about the knocker. In the
Fine Arts building there are some
of the finest and handsomest dis
plays ever made in this county, and
more of them than ever before.
The entries for fancy work and
stuff of that kind closed at noon
today, and the entry clerk and
superintendent of the different
departments were over their heads
in work all the morning. There
is enough interesting stuff in this
one hall to keep a fellow busy all
day, and then not see all of it.
The Agricultural building is
packed with specimens of the
finest and largest crop ever pro.
duced in any county at any time.
Wheat, Corn, potatoes, fruits of
all kinds, both fresh and preserv-
ed, chickens, ducks, geese and
about everything that you could
very we'll think of. In the live
stock pens there are some of the
finest exhibits ever shown in Bar
ton County. White face cattle,
short horn. Chester White Hogs,
Poland China Hogs, Berkshire
and they are dandys 700. Mr.. A.
I. Garth, of Larned, owner of
the Peach Grove herd of Chester
White Hogs, has twenty-sev of
the finest hogs that ever ate co m.
and eight young pigs in his pens.
These hogs are prize winners at
every fair they have ever been
shown at, taking first at the state
fair at Hutchinson last year over
everything.
Agricultural implement dealers
have the best exhibits they have
had for years. l.. B. Wilcox
shines with brand new red and
white striped tent and has a corn
shelter in operation with a gaso-
line engine, with a splendid ex.
hibit of other stuff. Fred Nutle-
man has a gasoline engine coupled
to a pump and keeps two big tanks
full of fresh water all the time,
showing in addition several other
things in his line. E. R. Moses
Mercantile Go. have a gasoline en-
CINE operating drill and a ma.
nure spreader, with a display of
other stuff.
The races will be up to the
standard of other years, there be-
ing a large number of good horses
at the track who make things lively
IN the race ring. You want to
take one day oil and 90 to the fair,
if you can't 60 more. 1t will pay
you to go and see the stuff. Take
a day off and see the products of
your home county.

Mr.. Leon Bounell, of Topeka,

Demuth and family.

Marshal Wilson says the GRO vl
of people who have come in with
the horses and shows for fair
week are very quiet and orderly.
There were a good many hard
characters here last year, but they
found out soon after arriving that
this was poor town for them, so
they did not come back.

Fame and Rlches.

The following suggestive inquiry is
made by Frederick Trevor Hill In an
article on 1.-THE Dollar Mark and the
Hallmark Of Fame" in the Septem.
Dor EverYbody's:
'But if fame mean fortune, is 1T
not strange that among the forty names
now recorded 10 the aforesaid Hall OF
Fame, not one can be found represep.
tative of wealth. The jury that Sc
lected those names was composed OF
we'll informed men, drawn from all
parts OF this country, and yet IN the
list upon which they agreed only two
rich men will be found-Cooper ano
Peabody, whose names are associated
not with wealth, but with great
philanthropic enterprises. The rest
OF the honor list is made up of men o.
little or no property. Truly a re.
markable showing for a nation suppos.
edly given W to the worship O
wealth."

Mls.onrl Sac Fsir.

Last December when the American
Association Of Fairs snd ExposItions
met in Chicago to arrange dates for
1906, a petition was presented signed
by two hundred live stock exhibitors,
asking that a State Fair Circuit be
formed, commencing with Iowa.
thence to Nebraska, Ohio, Iudisns,
Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri ana
e ding with the American r yal al
Kansas City. This petition was
received with much favor and dates
fer the several state fairs arranged
accordingly, and agreed to by each
except Illinois, she claiming the date
q ssigned to Missouri. Missouri
breeders protesting against the action
OF Illinois, and e%videncing their
loyalty tt a home Institution, will,
almost without exception, exhibit at
the Missouri State Far. Live stock
exhibitors from Kansas, Nebraska and
Iowa Wishing 10 work in harmony
with the advice Of the American
Association of Fairs, and to conform
to the wishes of breeders as represented
IN their petition, are organizing to
leave Illinois out OF the circuit and
will show at Des Moines, Lincoln,
Topeka, Hutchinson, St. Joseph,
Sedalia and the American Royal at
Kansas City. These fairs all Offer
liberal prizes, are well equipped for
taking care Of live stock, and are
located in territory making the most
extensive demands on the improved
herds in the country.

CHANGE IN COAST LINES.
Centuries Have Made Many Vieissl
tudes In Shores - the Bay
Of Naples.

Not for the first time has the
shore of the Bay of Naples
changed its ancient level. The
earth movements OH the Neapol-
itan coast were extensively
studied by a British exploring
party only three years ago, and
the discovery was made that the
more important movements Of
the land were not due to sudden
seismic causes, but to those slow
and majestic processes that af-
feet the coast lines Of CONT
nents.
But sudden disturbance does
not account for the burrows Of
marine she'll fish now found in
the columns of the Temple of
Scraps, 10 feet above sea level.
The British searchers were able
to collect evidence showing that
since the Roman dominion the
Neapolitan coast sank 80 feet,
and then rose about 20 feet, and
that this tremendous change
was of a gradual character.
A good many delusions were
dissipated as the result of these
fresh inquiries. The submerged
Roman ruins along the coast
used to be regarded as founda.
ton walls thrown out for sea
baths, but it was made clear
that they are the remains of
noble mansions and that they
point to the time when the land
on which they stood was far
above the level of the sea. The
shore is in fact strewn with the
wreck of buried cities. Coast
roads haze vanished ancient
%quarries been flooded and the
breakwaters of the harbors of
classical story covered fathOms

down in the bottom of the sea,
covering dozens of acres, lie the
ruins of many buildings. A
great submarine sea wall, with
concrete piers II feet high, still
protects the fragments. But
neither the fragments nor the

Energetic Lecturer.

Gentlemen" Numbered the
energetic lecturer, 1--WE live in
pessimistic times. Our leading
politicians, our pulpit orators,
our great philosophers, our
poets and, worst of all, our nov.
elists, delight to picture life as
a hideous nightmare, a crooked
dream, a thing not worth the
misery expended in enduring, a
low scramble for human suprem-
acy, or as an ignoble failure at
best. And, gentlemen, are they
right? Is it, indeed, so? Are

DEAFNESS ANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There ic only one way to cure deafness,
sod that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused By an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
tnfamed you have a rumbling sound
of imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness IS the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but IN inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces,
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Oatarrh Cure. SendIcr circulars, free.
