This Was Luck-Night before last as
Miss Leinenweber, sister of Hiram
Leinenweber, got off the A. & G. X.
r. train and boarded the electric car
to ride down town, she missed val
liable gold watch. Search was imme-
diately made through the train and
along the depot platform, but the
watch was no where to be found. At
ter an hours search Mr.. Leinenweber
gave up the hunt and stood waiting for
ear, having concluded that someone
had picked up the watch. When the
car in charge OF Motorman Miller
stopped at the depot, Mr.. Miller noted
Leinenweber's worried look, and in
quiring the cause, was informed OF the
less, AT the time he was standing on
the ground at the head of his car, and
almost without hesitation, he said,
"W1hv, here's the watch" and coolly
stopped down and picked it up, lying
not two inches from the rail. The
watch had evidently fallen to the
ground, as Miss Leinenweber stepped on
the car To say that the owner was
reioiced at the recovery of her property
would be stating it lightly.

In Friendly Token--A pleasant little
incident transpired at the First Baptist
church last evening, when the prayer
service had ended. Mrs. o. h. Estes,
who has been treasurer Of the church
for many years, in the name Of the
membership and OF few devoted
friends on the outside Of the fold, pre-
sented to the venerable pastor, Rev.
l.. J. Trumbull. a purse Of 800 in gold,
as practical manifestation OF their
regard and appreciation for him, and
for which he made feeling and happy
response. The reverend gentleman has
reached the period in his life and la
bors that justihes him in seeking pro-
tracted rest and II is his purpose to
retire at an early day from the full
ministry, and next week he gives up
the pastorate OF the church here.

way in which society speaks is through

acts is through law. He is also a

report Of the state forestry commissioner.
Ernest Hitchcock. which has just been
submitted 10 Gov Proctor
This report says there are 100000 acres

ditions this great acreage has 90 a large
extent been non-productive, although

forestry or Independently. and that the
state cooperate with the Vermont Agri-
cultural college IN the establishment OF a

John f. o'Connell. candidate for ninth

NOT in The TRUST.
An Independent Oil Company Wants the
Business Of This Part Of the Country

j. W. Merring has taken the
agency for the product ssof the
Sunaower State Refining Com
pany Of Niotaze Kansas. an in
dependent refinery which is owned
and controlled by Kansas people,
and in no ways connected with
the oil trust.
There are now turee stores in
this city handling the oil and
gasoline put out by this concern,
and. more of the merchants will
take it up if their patrons insist
on having that kind of oil. You
may figure that you use SO little
oil or gasoline that it would make
no difference to any one where
you'got it. but if all the small
consumers were put together it
wouldomake mighty big lot of
oil. The enormous business of
the oil trust is made up of the
small consumers, and If you are in
. favor of busting the trusts, YOU
will do it in just that way. A trust
can stand only so much loss, lust
the same as an individual, though
of course a combination can stand
more than any one individual, but
II all the consumers of oil in this
country would buy from the poo
pie outside of the trust, there
would soon be no trust. and the
small manufacturers and prodcers
would stand show of doing
something.
If the patrons of the stores in
this. city insist on getting Sun.
flower oil they can get it. Just
try it and see if that is not true.
Give the producers ana re6ners
Ot'Kansas a chance to do some
thing and quit. helping the big
gest trust in the world to pay big
dividends to the few who own
their stock. Buy SunAoyer oil
and help build up Kansas as a
manufacturing state.
