''Brevity is the Soul of Wit.

The Union services last Sunday even
ing were well attended and good SER
mon was preached to an appreciative
congregation by the Rev. w. B. Brown
pastor of the Presbyterian church.
The union services the coming Sum
day evening will be held at the Pres
byterian church and the sermon viii
be by the Rev. C. F. West, pastor of
the Lutheran church. This will end
the series of union services for this
summer After next Sunday each of
the churches viii have services at their
respective places of worship both morn
ing and evening each Sabbath.
This is the time of the year when the
people of God are beginning to think
of and plan for general campaign for
winning the people of the world to the
Savior. Some of the best literature
ever put into the hands of any people
has been received by the pastor and is
now being studied by some of the work
ers that they may know how to ''be
orkmen that need not be ashamed. ;"
More and more it becomes evident that
God desires expertness it his workers
and has so arranged the laws of the
spiritual world that expertDess counts
for just as much there as in the world
! of matter.

Secretary Taft Speaks Here-the Only
Place between Abilene and EUis.

This city is much indebted to c.. W.
Miller for securing short speech from
Secretary of War, VIM. H. Taft, who
is also the most promising candidate in
the republican presidential field for
1908. The prolonged blowing of Yost's
Mill whistle Monday evening announc-
ed that the train was approa ching and
/. a large crowd soon gatheredl at the
station crossing to see ''our next pres
ident'', as the hand bills read. C. w.
Miller, who rode up with the S, ecretarY
from Bunker Hill, introduced him and
for five short minutes he spok e to the
people on subjects which bo re only
slightly on politics. He spoke of Roose-
velt's administration and commended
it as model one; he spoke of the ad-
mission of Oklahoma as state Ma rep
ublican one); of Kansas as q st aunch
republican state; of our great possibil-
tiles as state and of the Jwond erful
prOductiveness of Western Ka1 lsas.
He left very favorable impression
with all who heard him and should he
receive the republican nomination for
president, he will receive large vote
in this community. Sec. Taft did not
ride in a private car as was expe cted
but had private compartment in the
Pullman. He is bound for the Phil lip
ines on an official mission as Secret airy
of War. He is accompanied by his
private secretary, Robert H. Mun :ay
of the Philadelphia North Americ an
and Robert L. Dunn of Golfers Wee K
ly. Mr.. Dunn:is the official photograp b
er detailed for the trip and he viii
make pictures through the entire trip.
From Manila the party will go to Del.
ny, Port Arthur, over the battlefielde
of the Russo-Japanese war and thence
via the Trans-Siberian railway to Mos
cow. The ship on which. Taft Sails
the Minnesota, has been equipped with
wireless telegraphy for the benefit of
the secretary and the newspaper men.

School Announcement.

The public school of Hays will open
on Tuesday. September Srd- Monday
being Labor Day." 1t is desired
that, in ali cases where the pupils s
standing is known, all necessary books
be secured before the opening of school,
as delay may result at the book stores
and thus time will be lost in the class
es. In all cases of enrolment from
other schools, new pupils, etc. do not
buy books until classified by the super
intendent. For such classification, call
at the Office in the high school rooms
between the hours of 700 and 900
O'Clock Tuesday morning.
In all exchanges, please note that
only books of the last adoption, in
good condition and with both covers
will be exchanged for similar books of
the present adoption.
would respectfully call the atten-
tion of parents and guardians to the
clause in the school laws of Kansas,
which makes it compulsory on the
part of such parents or guardians to
maintain all children under their charge
between the ages of seven and four
teen Gnclusive), in the public school
of their district during the time such
school is in session. This means nine
full months in Hays, and any parent
or guardian failing to comply with
this law, not only breaks the law, but
denies the child his American birth
right and robs the state of fully de-
veloped citizen. Captains of war and
kings of despotism were the architects
of the past. We build to-day in the
thoughts of men in their struggle to-
ward right and duty.
Much of the building has been floor
ed, and all the rooms have been thor
oughIy cleaned and renovated. ''Live"
drinking fountains and city water will
soon be installed. New walks, curb
ing and parking have added to the ap-
pearance of the grounds, while several
hundred books Of reference and fiction
will be added to the library. Please
remember there will be no tuition this
year the people of Hays decided at the
annual meeting to extend this little
courtesy to their less favored rural
neighbors. -
Now young man and young woman,
you who have time and your 9Th grade
diploma, let me urge you to enter high
school and thus begin your life work.
Three or four years of digging" will
open your eyes to the great opportuni-
ties of the twentieth century, and
there is no other school in the Ameri-
can system that can do this for you as
can the high school. Don't be deceived.
Some schools teach more, but others
teach more thoroughly: We will put
you within the doors of the State Uni
versity, and they will usher you, fully
equipped, into the great arena of Life.
Faithfully yours,

Two Are Arresded.

Otto Kepnick and Ed. Nagle, two
rather tough looking fellows who
could not give good account OF
themselves, were arrested last Mon
day afternoon by Policeman Will
Ahrend. They were sent up for 25
days by Judge Willard for vagrancy.
When searched one had 45-calibre
gun on him and the other had 3s,
the same size gun as the one with
which Rev. Oscar w. Gustafson was
shot by the two holdups Sunday
evening. Two chambers Of this gun
were empty, which also corresponded
with the number of shots fired at
the minister. Further than this
there appeared no resemblance to the
description given by Mr.. Gustafson
of his wouldbe murderers. The
record of the two men will, however,
be Investigated and 1t is likely that
Mr.. Gustafson will have look at
tie fellows to see II they were the
same two men who tried to hold
