day evening on business trip to old

Miss Myrtle Cummins Of Wichita was

Mr.. Oxley is building an addition to

the town on the east

Tom Lane says that the freeze did not
hurt the wheat and U. D. Weikal says
that 1t did not hurt the green bugs, so
guess it did not do much harm after all,
j. F. Hampy has resigned bis position
of road overs err, as the job was distastful
to him. The board has appointed w. H,
Mills In his stead, and Mills is stirring
the critters up little.
Our equinoctial storm was aslittle late
getting around this year, but it got here
all the same. 1t struck Buckln early
Monday morning, April Goth, with wind,
rain and snow. Monday night the
mercury dropped down to about 26 above,
which is plenty cold enough for this time
Of the year.
We have not heard much complaint
about the green bug around here, though
there has been some. Generally speak
ing the wheat around here Is looking
fairly we'll One thing this storm has
done, it has supplied some much needed
moisture. Now If the weather man will
give us some warm weather, vegetation
will soon take new start and the effects
Of this freeze will disappear.
AT the graduating exercises held at the
opera house last Friday night, as usual
there were some 'smart alexis" there to
make a disturbance. j II. Dellinger
stood their noise as loag as he could, then
he went to WHARF some OF them were, got
hoM of one of them and gave him good
shaking. That helped matters and there
was pretty good order after the shaking
episode during the remainder of the ex-
ercises. Now If John had just fell down
on that kid he would have been quiet for.
ever after.
We did not get last weeks GLOBE
REPUBLICAN in Bucklin until the fol-
lowing Monday. We do not know who
is to blame for it, but 1t does seem strange
that In these days Of rapid transit and
fast mails that paper supposed to be
published on Thursday, seldom reaches
Bucklin, a town 10 the same county in
which the paper is published, with di-
rect line of railroad between the two
towns and only about twenty miles
apart, until Saturday evening, A few
years ago we got the paper here on
Thursday evening, the evening of the
day of its publication. Then there was
some inducement for the people of this
part of the county to take the paper, now
there Is not.
Bucklin came near having bad fire
Sunday night. The door leading 10 the
cellar under G. F. Trager's store was left
unlocked, and some person or persons
went into the cellar, and finding material
ready built fire there. There were three
barrels in the cellar, two of them were
filed with loose hay that had been used
for packing the goods that came In them,
the third barrel had not been unpacked
but was full of telephone fixtures. The
barrels and their contents were consumed.
Fortunately the floor above did not ig-
mite, though it got hot enough to bring
the pitch out of the boards. 1t is moi
known whether the parties went In there
and made the fire with the intention OF
setting the building on fire, or whether
1t was buns that went there TO keep
warm. We are inclined to think 1t was
the latter, for buns are very numerous
around here these days, and Sunday
night was pretty cool. In any case this
should teach our merchants who have
cellars under their business houses to
keep the outside doors locked at night.
