that started in Quincy, ILL.,, over
two years ago. Mr.. Flanagan was

COURT HOUSE ADDITION.

Jim Thomas began work last
Friday building a I6x2o brick ad-
dition on the southeast corner of
the court house. The principal
purpose of the addition is to pro
vide the Office of the clerk of the
district court with a vault An
excavation was made so as to put
the bottom of the addition on a
level with the sheriff's Office. The
basement will be used for an en-
gine room and coal bunker; the
first floor will be used for addition
al vaults for the probate Judge and
register of deeds and the upper
floor for the district clerks vault.
Each vault will be 7xI3 in the clear
and the addition will be extended
as high as the main building. The
commissioners expect that some
day heating plant will be install
ed and as the district clerks Office
can hardly get along without a
vault and one had to be put in,
they figured that they could build
from the basement up with little
less expense and thus be ready for
the heating plant when the coun-
ty gets ready for it.

SCOTT CUMMINS' LATEST.

T. A. McNeal, in last weeks
Mail & Breeze, pays the following
compliment to "Pilgrim Bard .
whose correct name is Scott Cum.
minis:
When we first struck Kansas we
found down among the canyons of
Barber county a man who in our
humble judgment is a genuine poet.
He was engaged in the not very
lucrative business of hauling bones
to Wichita, the nearest market.
and in his leisure hours writing
poetry that was better than good
deal that magazines have paid
good prices for. This picturesque
.nSividual, Scott Cummins, is now
located near the town ofAlva, Ok,
and still courts the muses.. He looks
like a poet and is a poet. We have
always thought that somehow or
other he had gotten out of the
niche that nature intended him to
occupy and that if he had started
in literary career when he was
young he might have been famous.
Here is one of his latest:
The summer suns last parting rays soon twi.
lights shades would greet,
saw three maidens coming through field
of waving wheat.
The head and shoulders of each maid stood
scarce the wheat above
As picture of three smiling nymphs adorns
scene of love.
The Oklahoma zephyrs brisk toyed with each
maidens hair;
Their cheeks, aglow from exercise, illume.
their faces fair
All countries have their specialties; with us
they can't compete,
For Oklahoma beats the world for pretty
girls and wheat
thought about the Scottish lassie, trapseing
through the rye,
Determined all the time to kiss some fellow
on the ely.
Yet these coy Okahoma girls ne'er purs,d
their lips SO sweet;
They were hunting fun. not fellows, as they
rambled through the wheat.
The wheat within the ia .mers' bins will soon
be safely stored.
Each of these maidens well could grace SON,
lonely fellows board.
The miller will to Hour reduce the golden
grains of wheat;
These dimpled hands can kucad the broad
the fellow needs to eat

SIGHT SEEING In THE EAST.
Platform, Ohio, July IA, 1906.
To the Editors of the Index.

To the Editors of the Index.
While waiting for steamer to
take us to Huntington, w. Va, we
thought we'd give you a short
sketch of our trip.
On the 18th of June while wait
ing for our train out of Wichita
we met Messers. Roy Hall and
John Wilkins. Both look natural.
John was with us as far as Strong
City.
We visited in Kansas City until
Sunday eve with my sister, Mrs. w.
d. Brown. We also met with many
friends; Gar and Curt Parsons,
Clate Simpson and Mr.. and Mrs.
McJunkin who are now running a
drug store of their own in Kansas
City, Kansas. We spent a pleas
ant evening at the Electric Park
while there, hearing Ellery's grand
band OF 55 Italian performers.
Monday we spent in St. Louis at
tending to business and viewing
the ruins of the old Fair grounds.
The Alps are all that look natural
there and they are kept up for a
place of amusement.
We arrived in Covington the
morning of the 10th surprising our
relatives somewhat. They left
nothing undone in showing us the
sights of their beautiful city and
surroundings. They took us after
moons and evenings to the follow
ing parks: The Lagoon, which con-
tains beautiful lake and M any
places of amusement, Eden Park,
whose name fully describes the
place with its beautiful bluegrass
lawns decorated so tastefully with
flowers. 1t contains the Art Mus
cum said to be the finest this side
of Paris, Chester Park, which is a
miniature Worlds Fair in itself as
far as amusements are concerned.
We tried them all and are still
among the living. We "shooted''
the Chutes, rode on the Scenic
Railway, Flying Dutchman, Flying
swing, the Watery Ferris swing
and last but not least we dumped
the bumps"
We enjoyed our ride to Coney
Island on the Island Queen steamer
which is very nice vessel. We
finished all amusements here.
The Attn we spent at the Zoo, a
beautiful place where we saw ami
mails of all descriptions and birds
too. The display of fireworks was
grand. We spent a delightful af-
ternoon at Fl. Thomas, one of the
y. S. forts; we saw the soldiers
drill, the beautiful ground and
surroundings and many prisoners
who are guarded so closely. We
enjoyed the sights at the race track,
the trip to Lewisburg and scrap
ing" the sky scraper which is 22
stories high. From there we could
see all over the city and locate
many interesting points. We en-
joyed Market hugely as we had
never seen anything of its kind.
We enjoyed our trip to William s.
town and adjoining country which
is made up of young mountains
covered with forests. We visited
with many relatives there until
Sunday eve. Tuesday a. m. we
left Cincinnati for Uncle Viret Dill
lod's. Millersport, Ohio, where we
visited with relatives and friends
until Saturday eve when we de-
parted for Cincinnati to go from
there to Muncie and Morgantown,
Indiana. We hope to be home
July 2Ist.

Bob Groendycke has curiosity
at his farm in Nippawalla. He
found a large birds nest well filled
with bird eggs in the top of a corn
stalk yesterday. It is worth no.
ticing that Barber co un ty is rails

that the birds of the air mistake the
corn stalks for trees. Bob says it
looks like this is to be the banner
corn year of Barber county.
