Beautiful and Useful.

The stock is happy combination of
the beautiful and the useful. The peo-
pie of taste who visited the new dis
rangement of materials and colors and
the merely useful was not allowed to
dominate over the artistic. On the
other hand, those who sought the prac-
teal, found in the goods displayed for
their inspection an intrinsic value aris-
ing from quality and make that in
spired what is the real aim in all bus
mess, the wish to acquire that which
pIeases.

genuine pleasure and enthusiasm, visit

SCARED ABOUT NEW YORK

Walter wellman wires from New York to the Chicago Herald as
follows:
Having made extensive inquiries a s o the state of public feeling
her In New York, I deem it my duty to point out that there is nothing
sure about the verdict of New York-doubt does exist.
"The well nigh decisive thirtynine electoral votes Of the state are
yet to be fought for. There are elements Who'll threaten unpleasant
surprises for those who have settled down into the comfortable belief
that the state Is SAT and sure. 1t is impossible to study the conditions
existing here without coming to the conclusion that their ct effect
Is to help the Democrats. II W e compare the Bryan of 1896 and 1900
with the Bryan of today in the opinion Of the people of New York, he
has gained tremendously.
Evidence Of this is found lin the well known Indifference in banking
and commercial men to the outcome Of the present election. Those
who are Republicans are as a rule against Bryan, but not savagely.
They n longer look upon his possible election as a forerunner of the
national disaster. They are not spending money to defeat him. Many
business men who in the Bryan campaigns of the past have worked n
ergetcaly for the Republican ticket will this year stay at home on
election day Or vote for Bryan himself"

THE Wall OF THE GAZETTE

The main organ of the Republican party, known as the Reno Ga.
zette, is having aspasm because OF the contributions to the Democratic
fund by lady attaches of the state government.
So far not a single woman has been called upon to contribute, but
voluntary contributions have been accepted and the ladies who have o
tributed have expressed their pleasure at being allowed.
They have sense enough to know that a continuance Of the Demo
cratic party in power in Nevada means a continuance o. their posi-
tons and they have sufficient loyalty to the party o want to contribute
to the success of the fight. When the mint used to u in Carson
City before the Republican officials stole 81 much bullion that the in
sttudon had to be closed down there we're scores of ladies working in
the adjusting room and they we're called On every Presidential cam
did not hear the Reno Gazette denouncing this method Of raising cam
pagn funds.
The Gazette must bear in mind that he women who hold positions
under Democratic rule in this state are a anxious to se the success
of the party as the men The Republican party has rn tn system of
levy assessments on its Office holders for years. 1t set the original
pace n that direction.

Little Child Burned.

Mildred, the little fifteen months
old child of Mr.. and Mrs. Eli Carson,
was severely burned about the hands
about noon today. Mrs. Carson was
called to the phone, and the little one
who can just walk by getting hold Of
something, pushed a chair up to the
stove, which had a hot fire in it, and
then grabbed the stove with both her
hands. The child's screams brought
her mother to her instantly, and she
found the little ones hands stuck to
the stove. She was picked up and
medical aid secured at once. The
burn on the left hand is a very bad
one and will take some time to heal.
1t is very fortunate that the child's
face was not burned. The little girl
was resting easier at 2 o'clock when
we saw her.

ering the ground to leeward In win
ter. Many other measurements and
tests will be mdae, and elaborate datt
will be collected by experts who will
will have charge Of the study.
Many disputed questions will thus
be settled and the data gathered will
be at the disposal of the farmers who
desire it. Doubtless rows of trees be-
tween fields sometimes do more harm
than good, by casting shade and alb
stracting water from the ground. The
trees may also increase the danger
from the frost, since the movement of
the air lessons that danger. The For
est Service will study all sorts of con
ditions, including the relative value of
wind-breaks. consisting of single row
of trees and shelter-belts made up
Of a number Of such rows. A wind
break is usually planted for protec.
ton alone, a shelter-belt for both pro-
lection and the growing Of timber.
Corn will be the crop studied be-
hind the wind-break this year. Trust
worthy conclusions can not be obtain
ed by comparing results from differ.
ent crops. Each crop mkaes its own
demand upon the soil, so that what
would destrop one might do no harm
to another. Corn is a particularly
good crop to experiment with because
1t is easily injured by hot dry winds,
will not stand shading, and is very
sensitive to frost.
The instruments andapparatus for
each state will be read weekly by per-
sons assigned to that duty by Agri.
cultural Experiment Stations in the
respective states. The whole work
will be in charge of an expert for the
Forest Service at Washington, who
will be assisted this summer by three
or four persons, also from the For
est Service, who will study general
conditions in the states under inves-
tigation, in regard to the effect Of
wind-breaks on crops. The work will
continue until crops are gathered mex
fall, when the actual yield Of shelter
ed fields will be measured, and the
results compared with nearby unshel-
tered fields. Some of the observa-
tons will continue throughthe win
ter.
1t is expected that the results will
be published both by the Forest Ser
vice and by the Experiment Stations
which cooperate in carrying out the
work.

The game between the Hutchinson
White Sox and the local team was
played on grounds across the river
Sunday, on account Of the grounds on
this side being under water. AS
game Of ball there was not much to
it. Fullenweider and Swift were the
battery for Great Bend, and Fullen-
weider had no trouble in shutting the
Hutchinson boys out, while the Hutch
inson twirler could not get ball past
the home plate. They swatted him at
will, and the game ended with score
of Is to 0 in favor of the home boys.
This closes all our dates.
The ball team disbanded today, and
If nothing is done in the way of re-
organization this evening we will be
out Of the running so far as baseball
Is concerned. A good ball park has
been secured, a grand stand and othe
necessary Improvements has been ad-
ded, and it is pity that we can not
keep the boys together. They are a
nice gentlemanly set of players and
can play good ball and had just weed
ed out the undesirable men, and were
in position to play team bah. We are
yet in hopes that some thing can be
done to retain the team here. One
man, or half dozen men, cannot aft
to give all their time to the manage
ment, and besides that to 60 down in
to their pockets every year to make
up financial deficiencyevery year.
A meeting Of the fans will be held
this evening at the Moore hall over
Moores bakery, to see what can be
done towards reorganization. All per.
sons interested in the game are re-
quested to be present and talk the
matter over.
