NORMAL INSTITUTE IN JUNE.

Prof. ]. E. Thomas, county su.
perintendent-e elect, who will take
charge of his office on the 13th of
next month, has already secured
his instructors for the normal insti.
tute and fixed the time for the ses-
sion. Normal will open on Tues
day, June 4th, and continue in ses-
sion four weeks. On account of no
Sunday train service, the same plan
adopted by the present county
superintendent, of beginning the
weeks work on Tuesday morning
and ending Saturday noon Of each
week, will be adopted, thus giving
teachers the convenience of going
home every Saturday and returning
Monday without losing any of the
time.
The faculty chosen by Prof.
Thomas is as follows:
Conductor, Prof. A. ]. Lovett,
Supt. Cherryvale schools. Instruc-
tors, Prof. D. w. Major, Medicine
Lodge; Ira Stout, Kiowa; E. A.
Lunsford, Hill City. Mr.. Thomas
is we'll acquainted with Prof. Low.
EFT. He says he is one of the best
educators in the state. Prof.Luns-
ford also carries good credentials.
Profs. Major and Stout are home
men and have been connected with
educational work here so long that
it is useless to dwell upon their re.
spective qualifications.
We look forth to an interesting
institute.

CITY AFFAIRS.

The new mayor and council met
in their first session on Tuesday
night of last week but contrary to
expectations no appointments were
made. Mayor Field announced his
committeeappointmentsas follows:
Finance-Jas. Dobbs, w. L.
Bragg, A. B. Purdy.
Ditch and Water-R. R.Froman,
H. H. Case, A. B. Purdy.
Streets and Alleys-W. L. Bragg,
as. Dobbs, R. R. Froman.
Cemetery-A. B. Purdy, H. H.
Case, Jas. Dobbs.
The question of water rents was
taken up and a few re.adjustments
of rates were made, the mayor and
council relying somewhat on the
advice of Supt. Stockstill. In the
aggregate the changes will net a
little more revenue to the rental
fund.
The ditch committee was in.
structed to look into the propo-
sition of moving the pump closer
to the water wheel so as to econo-
mize in the item of wire cable. AS
now located a vast amount of cable
is used and if it is practical to get
the pump nearer a saving of
several hundreds of dollars yearly
can be effected.
There is a movement on foot to
put in a water main from the cor
ner of Second avenue and north
Main street to extend north to con.
meet at the pumping station. The
mayor and council are looking in
to the matter and will do it if the
cost will not exceed the benefits
Ito be derived in too great propo-
sition.
The next meeting will be held
the night of the 9th of next month
at which time the mayor and coun.
Gil expect to have decided on the
appointees. There are the usual
number of applicants.

UNHAPPY Partnerships.

Divorce suits were filed in the
office of the clerk of the district
court last week by Pearl Sales OF

accusing her of unchastity which
she denies. Two boys, aged 4 and
8 years, are the only children. The
friends of this family hope that
they may be able to settle their
differences before trial. Noble &

and there are no children to the
union. 1t is the second marriage
with each of them, each having
been widower and widow before

matrimonial judgment than in ad

Judge Tedrow's court was occu-
pied last Wednesday by a suit
brought by ]. E. Motter against
James Jacobs, foreman of the D. K.

count of SIG, amount claimed due
on a meat bill. Of this amount
Jacobs rendered $3.75 in court,
which he set forth was the extent
of his debt, that the balance was
owed by one Bradley who cooked
for D. K. & q. fencing gang:
Bradley is Jacobs son.in-law and
IS now in Texas. The court found
for Jacobs, the most damaging cir
cumstances to the plaintiff being,
in the courts view, that the meat
In question was billed to Bradley
at Lake City. The plaintiff, how
ever, insisted that he sold the meat
to Jacobs and had no dealing what
ever with Bradley. G. M. Martin
represented plaintiff and Seward I;

w. H. Brownback was here from
Edinburg, Illinois, last week and
filed a suit for damage against ].
R. Holmes of Aetna for $4,000.
The damage is claimed on account
of a fire that burned off quite a
large area of grass in the Brown
back pasture, and also for pastur-
age alleged to be due from Holmes
to Brownback. Messrs. Brownback
and Holmes each own very large
ranches in the vicinity of Aetna
and if they get started right it
promises to be law suit of large
dimensions. Brownback has en-
ployed Noble & Tincher and Mar
tin & Ellis as his attorneys in the
case. Mr.. Holmes has not yet en-
ployed counsel. Nick Lorenson,
Geo. Mote and w. S. Richardson,
the Aetna township board, are join
ed in the suit by reason of their Of
fcial action in locating fence lines
and partitioning fences between
Messrs. Holmes and Brownback.
On Friday the attorneys for
Brownback secured a temporary
Injunction in probate court re-
straining Holmes from pasturing

claim an interest, and from inter-
fering with certain fences and trees

Ben Bickel, E. A. Haines and I.
B. Duncan of Alva met with the
Commercial Club in this city last
Wednesday night and submitted
proposition to erect a gypsum mill
somewhere between this city and
the county line to the northwest.
They represent eastern capital and
are not at all modest in their de-
mands. They want a lease on
$4,000 acres of land in the gyp belt,
site for the mill, switches and
tracks as well as track to connect
with the D. E. & G. No land is to
be covered by the lease over eight
miles from the R. r. right of way.
The Commercial Club can hardly
be expected to secure all the con-
cessions asked but, with the aid of
the railroad company, they hope to
be able to submit such a propo-
sition that the gypsum company
can not afford to turn down.

ON THE DIAMOND.

In the third game of the Kansas
Oklahoma League series, Sharon
went to pieces and lost to Danville
in a score of 70 to 6. The game
was played at Sharon Sunday. The
Sharon boys made numerous errors.
Anderson, who is Wichita man,
was off of his trolley for some rea-
son and let the Danville giants hit
him hard and often. Before this
game, Sharon was even with Alva,
but if Alva was successful at Har-
per, which is probable, that team
will very likely keep the lead dur
ing the season.
The game between Medicine
Lodge ard Sun City teams played
in this city Friday resulted in a
! victory for the home team, 2 to IA.
Most of the High School team were
played for the home team in this
game which accounts for the vic
tory.
The Barber County High School
team went to Attica Saturday and,
as predicted, won an easy victory
over the Attica High School. The
score was 10 to 6. The return
game will be played here Saturday.
The second team of the Kiowa
schools came to this city Saturday
and played with a similar team
chosen from among our school boys.
Prof. Stout ofsKiowa came with
the boys. The home boys won in
a score of II to 4.
The Kiowa League team won its
first game of the season at Chero.
kee Sunday and they are feeling
better.
The Kiowa High School team
also won its first victory Friday.
The opposition was composed of a
picked team, part of which was
composed of members of the League
team. The boys are now anxious
to meet the High School boys of
this city again. They think they
are now in shape to win.
