Old Timer Passes Awoy.

The community was both surprised
and grieved Thursday morning to hear
that Simon Motz, one of the Oldest
settlers of Ellis County, died at his
home on Gospel Hill from a sudden at
tack of pneumonia.
Mr.. Motz came here in the days of
old Fort Hays, when the country was
yet inhabited by Indians and u. S.
soldiers. For many years he conducted
prosperous mercantile business on
South Main Street. He was elected
state senator from this district in 1882
and served four years. He was mar
ried the same year to daughter of
A. S. Hall wealthy hardware mer-
chant of the city. For four years he
was custodian of Fort Hays reserva-
ton and he served the government
well in this capacity. Mr.. Motz is
member of the Ellis County bar and
has practised law here for the past
twenty years. He also had large
local fire insurance business.
Mr.. and Mrs. Motz and their son
Frank, who is % years of age, were
all taken sick simultaneously last week
with the Grippe. Mr.. MOTIFS illness
soon developed into pneumonia and,
though careful medical attention was
given him, his old age prevented his
recovery. The end came Thursday
morning about 8 o'clock. Mr.. Motz
was seventy years of age. Mrs. Motz
is still sick abed and Frank is scarcely
able to be up, and the case is an ex-
tremely sad one. Mrs. Motz and
Frank have the sympathy Of the COM
munity in their bereavement.
The funeral services were held from
the G. A. R. Hall Friday afternoon at
8 O'Clock, conducted by Rev. West of
the Lutheran Church.
The hall was crowded with sympa-
thizing friends, the G. A. R. members
occupying the stage and conducting the
services. Comrade Motz joined the ar
my in 1861 and served until 1865.
A male quartette furnished appro-
pirate music. Interment was made in
the family lot under military orders
of the Post.
On Thursday the court appointed a
committee of attornies on the death of
Simon Motz, and they reported very
appropriate set of resolutions and put
on the records of the court.
The court adjourned during the SER
vices, the Judge, attornies and officers
of the court attending the funeral in
body.

Boptists Call New Pastor.

At called meeting of the members
of the Baptist Church Sunday morning
Frank Jennings of Ottawa was called
as pastor for a term of six months:
Frank will continue his school course
at Ottawa and come to Bronson each
second Sunday.
Rev. Goodman, the retiring pastor,
expects to leave for Hays City about
Wednesday of next week. Rev. Good
man and family are very generally
loved by the people of the community
and especially of his church. His work
has been of that strong quiet sort that
counts most in the long run. He has
preached many excellent sermons while
with the church and only words of COM
mendation are heard of them.
He bade his flock farewell Sunday
evening in strong sermon character
istic of his scholarship and spirituality
The best wishes of the countless
friends of the family go with them to
their new field of labor. Pilot, Bron-
son. Bourbon Co., Kansas.
Mr.. Goodman arrived and preached
his first sermon in our Baptist church
last Sunday, and his audience was
much pleased. He has wife and
three small children.

Has Confidence in Hays

H. A. Cowan and step-son Harold
Gill his week purchased the corner lot
opposite their location in the Kreuger
Bldg. The lot formerly belonged to
the Kreuger estate, which is represent
ed in this city by Miss Elsie Mcintosh.
Mr.. Cowan will begin operations at
once on the erection of new building
for his Butter, Egg and Poultry busi-
ness on his newly-purchased lot. The
building will be frame, and have a
frontage of 25 feet on South Main st.
1t will extend back about so feet and
will comprise an Office room in the
front of the building with ample store
rooms in the rear for country produce.
Mr.. Cowan has built up a large
business in this city and he is well-liked
by both the farmer and the towns-peo-
pie. He has now on the road an egg
case machine, and he will soon be manu-
featuring his own egg cases. He has
good faith in the future of Hays, as is
shown by his latest move. Hays is
the best and largest shipping point be-
tween Salina and Denver, both on ex-
ports and imports, and no doubt it will
continue to increase in volume.

Do we Need More Walks?

The regular monthly meeting of the
city council which was to have been
held last evening was postponed on
account of quorum not being present.
It is understood that the council have
been asked to put in some new walks
in the northeast quarter of town and
the matter will come up at the next
meeting. With the present debts of
the city it hardly seems advisable to
go to added expense for more walks
this year and we trust the council will
lay this matter over and devote their
to more necessary measures.

FROM ELLSWORTH REPORTER.
What Ellsworth Editor says Of
ST. Clair Matthews.

Late Sunday night persons going
home found a man by the name of G.
S. Matthews in the street on the east
side of the Krebs home at Second
street and Washington avenue. He
was taken down to the Kolachny res
taurant, where it was discovered by
the physician who was called in. that
he was suffering from an overdose of
morphine, or some drug of a similar
nature. The physician administered
restoratives and washed out his stom-
ach, and then poured in a quantity of
coffee. He then set John Newly and
Yancey Carpenter to work walking the
kept him going all night despite his
objections and desire to lie down and
go to sleep.
Matthews came to Ellsworth some
time last Fall. Before coming here he
was located in Hays City, where it is
said he was pastor of church. His
insane desire for drink and 'dope"
soon became known to the people
Of Hays. It is said that they rails
ed 500 and gave it to Matthews
to go to Kansas City and take the
Keeley cure. Instead of going to Kan
sas City, however, he is said to have
gone to Colorado, where he had high
old time as long as the money lasted.
He then came to Ellsworth. He lee
tured here month or more ago in one
of the churches; occupied the pulpit
once or twice at other churches, and
filled one of the pulpits in Kanopolis
once.
Saturday last, it is said, his wife be-
came so thoroughly disgusted with him
that she gave him six dollars, money
which she had made sewing, and told
him to go and never come back to her.
Sunday he was in Kanopolis, and came
over from there Sunday night in
drunken condition. Later in the even
ing he made the remark that ''some
body would be dead before morning."
Tuesday Matthews was able to be
around on the street. He endeavored
to get some more E4dope" but we are
informed that he failed in this. The
city marshal notified him during the
afternoon that he had just two hours
in which to get out of town. He left
and went to Kanopolis, where he was
ARE sted late in the evening, and placed
in Jail. Wednesday morning he went
to an acquaintance in Kanopolis with
hard luck story about having missed
his train; said that his wife had gone
to Salina, and that he wanted enough
money to join her. Upon telephoning
to Ellsworth his KanopolIs acquaintance
found that Matthew's wife was still in
Ellsworth, and that she had no desire
to be joined in Salina or any other
place by her husband.
Such is the work of whiskey and
''dope." The writer has met this man
Matthews. He is we'll educated, man
of ability. Those who have heard him
in public say he is an able speaker.
His weakness is liquor and other stimu-
lants. He is to be pitied as we'll as
censured.

Wanted-A Flour Mill.

A car of flour was shipped in to a
Hays merchant from Lindsborg this
week. While we have no doubt that
Lindsborg flour is A /, it looks mighty
bad for Hays City when we have to
ship out wheat and then turn around
and ship in flour. Every sack of -four
costs two freight charges to the people
who use it,-freight going out as wheat
and again freight coming back as -four.
We want -four mill and it bad. We
are hoping that the time is not far dis
tant when we can grind our own flour.

APRONS FOR LITTLE GIRLS.
Many Ways in Which Useful Garment
May Be Made.

Aprons are a great economy for
three reasons: First, because they
require so little material to make; sec
ond, because they save the dress from
spots and dirt that the most careful
child will get on her clothes, and third,
because they brighten a dress which is
already soiled.
There is no end to the different
ways that aprons can be made, for
half-worn summer dresses, as there
are few dresses made in such man
ner that they cannot be made over.
One exceedingly smart little apron is
made on the princess lines, a style
which is becoming to some children.
On each side of the back and front
there are five tucks about quarter of
an inch wide, which extend to the
waist line. There is hem two inches
deep and the neck is cut round and
finished with band of narrow en-
to the apron. under the last tuck in
front and tie in a chick little bow in
back.
The only trimming there is on the
apron is little bretelles made of en-
broidery. Nearly every one of us has
piece of embroidery left over from
worn petticoats or dresses and this
may be used. The bretelles may also
be made of the same material as the
apron.
One end is Joined to the apron under
the last tuck at each side of the front
and back and made to fall in a little
cap over the arm.
