Have You Seen Il?


II not, you must see it. We
mean the big Santa Claus empor-
lum at Hoopers. You may think
you have seen the largest stock
OF Christmas goods in town, but
unless you have seen Hoopers this
year you are mistaken. Never
was there such a layout, not
even by Hooper, who always
leads.
The entire upstairs Of the
north room is in use this year,
with shelves all around, and
down the center, high and wide,
and every inch of space is utll-
lied In displaying the stock. 1t
Is impossible to tell you about
all the beautiful pieces of china,
hand painted, decorated, plain,
all kinds and sorts. 1t is a YER
liable bower of beauty, and the
same may be said of his vast
stock down stairs. All this is
for you, to select your Christ
mas gifts from, and if youwill
read Hooper's big page ad in this
issue, you certainly will make it
a point to get to his establishment

The idea has become tradition
al In Kansas that muddy roads
belonged to Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio, until the present year, whlc
has been set down in the rec
ords of the weather bureau as
the wettest season" for that
state. Now Kansas understands
that it only requires rain, upon
its neglected dirt roads to make
them as intOlrable as the old
mud roads used to be back
yonder. The "wettest season, ="
therefore, promises more to the
state than a mere bumper
crop. 1t has created a demand
for good rOads-roads that will
be just as comfortable and acces-
sible in wet seasons as in dry
seasons.

Another Child Burned

Bernard, the little year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Rich
ards, was severely burned Sat-
urday evening. He was left aI0n,
downstairs, and securing a light
piece of wook, he stuck it into
the stove, and after it ignited,
pulled it out and the fire caught
his clothing. This made him
cry out, which brought his moth
er down from an upstairs room,
and she smOthered the flames but
not until the little fellow was
severely burned about tn echest,
throat, and arms. Medical aid
was quickly summoned, and ev-
erything possible done to relieve
the little fellow. As we 60 to
press he is doing as well as can
be expected, and his chances for
recovery are excellent. Again we
say, too much care cannot be-
exercised in the HON that con-

The Sewer Question.

"A fairly well attended meet
ing OF the citizens was held at
the court house last Saturday ev-
'ening to discuss the sewer ques-
ton and to hear the report of
the engineers who made the sur
Vey Of the city and estimated
the cost.
Porter Young was elected chair
man'and E. L. Chapman, secreta-
sry. The report of the survey wa
presented. From it we take the
following: 1t is the intention
to divide the city into three sew
er districts. The cost of INSTALL
ing the trunk lines for carving
off the sewage must be borne
by the city at large. This will
cost about $4,000. Then the
ocost of installing the sewer in
the respective districts would
nave to be borne by the districts,
as they saw fit to install the sys-
tenn. We are unable to give detail
ed information this week, owing
to the holiday rush, but will care.
1ully go over the report of the
engineers and attempt to give
more information in the near fut,
more information in the near fu-
oture. The matter was discussed
pro and con, and DR.. Meade pre-
sented a very able article bear
ing on the necessity for a sewer.
