Miss Florence Walters Entertains fol
Miss Matte Adams

Miss Mattie Adams
On Friday evening the dull monot-
ony Of the summer months was bro
ken by delightful party given by
Miss Florence Walters at her home on
South Third street for her cousin,
Miss Matte Adams, -Newberry. s.
c., who has been her guest for week
or more.
Invited to meet Miss Adams were
the following young people: Misses
Victoria Raysor, Leafy Sylvester, Jes-
silu Martin, Sara and Louise Harris,
Messrs. T. II. Harris. George Bitch,
w. v. Wheeler, Allan Bridges, E. B.
Duncan, Will Howse, Howard and
Harry Walters and Willie Wilson.
Partners for the evening were cho-
sen in q novel manner. Cards were
given to the young men containing the
hidden name of one of the young
ladies present. After deciphering these
names the partners took their places
at the various tables provided and in
dulged In guessing contests.
But, first, each man was required to
make a sketch of his partner, and
some Of the results were exceedingly
ludicrous.
For the men was provided cake
contest and for the girls "dressmak-
ing" contest. Partners were allowed
to assist each other and the guessing
was very spirited and enjoyable and
some of the answers were very clever.
The prizes were an exquisite little
chafing dish apron for the girls and
silver tie clasp for the men.
During the evening ice cream and
cake was served by Miss Walters, who
was assisted by her sister, Miss Mar
garet Walters.
Another feature of this pleasant
party was q memory test. A great
many articles were placed on the din.
ing table and the guests were allowed
to walk rapidly around the table and
glance at the articles thereon and
were then required to go back into
the parlor and from memory write q
list of what they had seen. and it was
quite remarkable the number Of arti
cles remembered by some and the
very few that others could recollect
In every particular the party given
by Miss Walters was exceedingly
novel, and her guests enjoyed them
selves immensely.

| Colonel w. A. Harris, the Chicago
Democrat, who is candidate fol
governor of Kansas, has purchased Q
town lot in Lawrence. 1t is said that
the real estate agent who sold the lot
is willing to take it back after the
coming election at a small reduction
in the price. This will be good trade
for the real estate agent and will give
the Colonel the right to claim that he
owns home in Kansas. The town
lot, however, could hardly be consider
ed home. In selecting his "home"
after he had been nominated Colonel
Harris showed that he was trying
to fool the people.
The attempt to- fool the people is
not the only interesting feature of
this purchase of a home. While
Colonel Harris was negotiating with
the real estate dealer for the use OF
the lot for few months, the officers
of the Democratic state central COM
mittee decided to file their nomina-
ton papers with the secretary of state.
The papers were filed the day before
the lot transfer was made and the af-
fidavit Of the officers of the committee
gave the legal residence Of Colonel
Harris as Linwood. Linwood is in
Leavenworth county and was at one
time the home of the Democratic
candidate. That was before he remov-
ed to Chicago. however, and declared
under. oath before the interstate com.
merce committee of the United States
senate that his home was in Chicago.
As the matter now stands, Colonel
Harris has three places he calls
"home." He has sworn that he lives
in Chicago, the officers of the Demo-
cratic state committee have sworn
that he lives in Linwood and he has
tried to make the people believe that
he owns and intends occupying q
home" in Lawrence.

OVERMYER HELPED RAILROADS.
Pushed Through Bill That Enables
Them To Charge More Than
Three Cents a Mile.

Mr.. Overmyer's railroad record when
he was a member of the house
Of representatives in the legislative
session of 1886 is interesting. 1t
was i'm that session that he earned the
title railroad engineer which stuck
TO him for several years. When e.
P. Greer of Winfield tried and failed
to get the bill compelling passengers
on railroad trains who neglect to pur-
chase tickets to pay additional fare
lup for consideration by a suspension
of the rules the job was turned over
of the rules the job was turned over
to the adroit Mr.. 0vermyer. The
next day he made the motion that
the bill be advanced to third reading
and his motion carried. Z. c! Weilep
then tried to have the wording of the
measure so changed that the railroads
could charge less than three cents
mile for ticket-purchasers and require
those who paid the conductor to pay
full fare. Mr.. Overmyer and his fol-
lowers opposed this. They also OPP
posed and defeated the motion of
Webb McNall to leave the power of
fixing this part of the fare to the
BOARD of railroad commissioners. The
hill became a law and is now on the
statute books and the people who ar
rive late at their trains and have no
thine to buy tickets can charge the
additional fare they pay the conductor
10 Mr.. Overmyer.
This record of the candidate was ex'
.ensively used against him in the cam
paign of 1894 when he ran for govern
IT on the Democratic ticket for the
sole purpose of defeating Lewelling
and the record is said to have been
very effective in turning the reformers
against him. 1t was after this cam
naign that the Ottawa Journal said
that Mr.. Overmyer had cost his party
thousands of votes which it never
would regain and added:
"While overmyer did not get elected
governor, there is q pretty general
Impression that he pulled the legs Of
the Republicans for as much as the
salary would be worth. No wonder
he is satisfied with the result"
