The advance in Union Pacific was again
the feature OF the market, but for the first
time in some days the stock closed lower
than the previous day. I believe develop
ments are pending IN this property, but
am told that nothing IS imminent at the

pool manipulation rather than actual ac-
cumulaUon by insiders. OF course. this

District Court at Hays.

No jury cases were tried this week,
caused partly by the continuance of
the Hoffman VS.. Cox case. Mr.. Hoff-
man had some very important business
matters in K. c. that made it impossi-
bic for him to be present.
The State VS.. Kelso was scheduled for
trial, but on Monday the plea in abat-
ment. directed at the information was
sustained and >Keiso was released.
But the County Attorney caused his
arrest 10 minutes later and he was
brought before Judge Downing and
on Wednesday he waived preliminary
hearing.
The demurrer in the Yost VS.. Minnea-
polls Threshing Machine Company was
overruled. Mr.. Yost brought suit last
summer to recover some money he paid
on two notes. He was only surety.
Later the company sued in Leaven-
worth County and the court held there
was no consideration. Now the COM
pany claim that Yost knew all about
the machine for which the notes were
given and that they do not care to re-
nit. This is very interesting case
and will be tried in February.
Several motions in various cases
were disposed and journal entries were
required from the various attorneys
in every case they had any interest.
The Gottschalk case decided last
week came up again on motion for
new trial, and every phase of this
trouble was reviewed and numerous
comments were made. The new trial
was denied.
The case of Palmer VS.. U. P. will be
| tried in February.
Court adjourned sine die Tuesday
night.

Dedication of New Catholic Church,

On the forenoon of Dec. II, 1907 the
new Catholic church, which has been
recently completed on the south of
Big Creek, about seven miles south
east of Victoria, will be dedicated in
honor of st. Boniface and the first
highmass will then be celebrated by
Rev. F. Vincent of Victoria, who will
thenceforth be the pastor of that con-
gregation. Everybody, far and near,
is invited to attend the ceremonies
This church had been building since
this spring. 1t was built under many
difficulties (as all churches are built)
and by comparatively few families.
But still it was built, and does honor
to the efforts and good will of the
parishioners. 1t is frame building,
just built for the first needs of such a
small parish, but it is fine and clean
structure nevertheless.
Everybody come and make it great
day for the parish people of the new
congregation. After services, dinner
and refreshments will be served free,
for all strangers.

High SchOOI Notes

The high school earned the quarter
holiday for the best attendance for the
third month.
The Freshmen class has finished
Silas Mariner and are now reviewing.
The record of each pupil for the
third month may be learned from three
posters which now adorn the east wall.
A large percent of the Freshmen are
to be found in the school room busily
at work by $40 each morning This
explains why the Freshmen lead the
school
The Sophomores went down before
the awful volley of U. S. History ques-
tions fired at them by Prof. Light.
The killed and wounded was greater
than that of the Battle of Gettysburg.
In the absence of the janitor Monday
forenoon the water in connection with
the heating plant boiled, causing an
overflow of the tank in the second
story. But with the help of the super
intendent, member of the school
board and the janitor who soon appear
ed upon the scene, matters were soon
restored to the usual running order.

Another Craft Unearthed.

Just to show you that advertising is
a fake and printers graft here is
a sample from last weeks paper.
THE FREE PRESS advertised diction-
ary for sale; on Monday there were
two parties wanting that dictionary
and we expect to sell it to one of them.
The local was four lines long on an
inside page, at cost of twenty cents.
In the same issue in an inconspicious
place on the back page was another
4-line want ad for man wishing to buy
small farm close to Hays. On Tues
day one of the 5000 readers of this pa
per sent in for the name and address
of thea dvertiser and no doubt before
this a deal has been closed-cost, 4
lines, zoe. Did it pay him to advertise
and did it pay the subscriber to read
