The Essex Opening.

Two of the most enjoyable events in
Havs social circle for many years took
place last Friday and Saturday evenings
on the occasion of the opening of the
Essex Club building in this city.
The formal opening by the club mem
bers and their ladies was held Friday
evening. Dancing began shortly after
nine O'Clock and lasted until midnight,
when they adjourned to the Brunswick
Annex where bountiful banquet a.
waited them. The feast lasted about
an hour and half and the merry-mak-
ers then returned to the club house
where dancing continued two hours
longer. By arrangements with the Ell
ectric Light Co. the lights and electric
fans were kept going until the conclu-
sion of the dancing.
On Saturday evening reception was
given to the general public and dancing
was indulged in from nine o'clock until
midnight. A very large crowd was
present and the ball room floor was
crowded until about eleven o'clock when
the crowd began to thin out. Quite a
number of out of town visitors were
present.
All in all the opening days were a
big success and will mark an era in the
history of the Essex Club of Hays
The ball room was appropriately deco
rated for the Fourth of July and the
four large fans kept the room cool
The parlor and reading room on the
second floor are both handsomely fur
nished and are very cosy. The wall
paper on the various rooms is quite ap-
propriate and is the finest that money
could buy. Nearly everyone was much
surprised at the beautiful way in which
the interior of the old building has been
remodeled. 1t is certainly credit to
the enterprising young men of the club.

Look Out For insurance crafters.

Harvey county is being worked by a
very clever insurance CRATER and we
reprint the following from the Sedg-
wick Paragraph as a warning to the
farmers of this vicinity. In taking out
insurance, as in buying merchandise, it
is always the best plan to do business
with our own citizens. The article is
as follows:
A smooth CRATER, man about sixty
years of age, worked this locality last
week. He registered here under the
name of D. D. Dows, and claimed to be
insuring threshing machines. He in
sured Jim Cooper's outfit, got So. 90 and
promised to have the company forward
the policy. Jim is out of the So 90 and
is still waiting for the policy. 1t is said
that he did quite business with ma
chine men south of Halstead. So far
as known, Cooper is the only man here
that insured" But he is not the only
man stuck. The ''agent" left Sc. 90
board bill unpaid and Landlord Frasier,
who treated his guest fine, even carry
ing lemonade to his room, would ike to
meet him few minutes. He thinks
he could get $50 worth of satisfaction
out of him. Jim Ogan is also $14. so
short for livery rigs furnished the phil
anthopist who wanted to protect the
threshing machine men. Mr.. Ogan not
only furnished the rigs but paid for a
feed bill at Newton, as the last heard
of the CRATER was at Welsh's barn at
Newton, where he left Mr.. Ogan's rig.
Jim went up after the rig, paid the feed
bill, and looked around for the CRATER,
but failed to find him. The CRATER at
times claimed to be representing a
Wichita insurance company, and at
other times his company was located
at ST. Louis. He will no doubt try his
graft in other towns in the state, so
exchanges will do we'll to show him up
before he gets in his work. He regis
ters from Ellsworth.

Caldwell -Robben.

The following article from the Grin
nell Record will be of interest to the
residents in the east end Of the county.
Geo. Robben, Jr., the fortunate man
of the occasion, is nephew of William
Robben of Walker.
Tuesday, over in the German settle
ment north of this city occurred one of
those big weddings that the Germans
are noted for. This time Miss Mabel
Caldwell and George Robben, Jr., were
the contracting parties and the princi-
pals to the event. The ceremony took
place at the st. Paul's Catholic church
at Angelus, the priest over there Off
ciating. The ceremony was performed d
at 9 o'clock in the morning, number
of the friends and relatives of the two
families witnessing. Miss Caldwell is
the daughter of Mrs. Caldwell, one of
the Oldest families of that locality, is a
bright young lady having been a sue
cessful school teacher for the past
several years, has host Of friends
both in and out of the church to which
attendant, besides she is a good steady
girl and one of the settlements best
productions. The groom is the son of
George Robben, a prosperous and sub
stantial farmer, and comes also of one
of the best families of that section. He
is actively engaged at and is making a
success of farming, owning land north
of Campus where he and his bride now
reside. A bountiful wedding dinner
was served consisting Of all the deliea-
cies of the market and was an elabor-
ate affair. Peculiar to the custom of
the Germans on such events, dancing
was enjoyed until late hour by a
large number present at the home of
the newly welded couple. A magnifi-
cent collection of useful and attractive
presents were presented them by their
many admirers. ''-Grinnell Record

Fourth OF July Picnic.

The following young people held a
social picnic IN the Normal park on the
afternoon and evening of July 4th: The
Misses Henrietta Oshant, Amy Swires,
Mabel Rowlison, Charlotte, Ruth and
Katherine Brown, Henrietta Meyer,
Lillian Picken, Myrtle Ramsey, Lizzie
Troth, Grace and Eva Hubbard, Nellie
Reeder, Sophia Dickinson, and Myrtle
Wyatt and Milicent Wilcox of Salina,
Messrs. Ward, Middlekauff, Decker,
Davies, Oshant, Tredway, Matthew,
Freese. The main excitement of the
evening consisted in an accident which
might have resulted seriously but for
the prompt action of Mr.. Tredway
One of the young ladies, who were all
shooting irecrackers, was sitting on q
bench with piece of lighted punk -
in her hand and bunch of firecrackers
in her lap Unconsciously her hand fell
in her lap and before either she or the
young man with whom she was sitting
realized what had happened the fire
crackers were going off in her lap. The
prompt assistance of two of the young
men put out the fire but only after her
dress had been pretty badly burned.
1t is safe to say that at least one Hays
young lady will remember the picnic
for days to come.

Booksellers are wondering why the

Through the auxiliary houses it is
now possible for the new newspaper
publisher to secure the great novels at
a nominal sum. The cheap novel is
seldom handled, the auxiliary houses
going after the biggest sellers for their
customers. No name is too great to
appeal to auxiliary managers, for they
sell the story again and again and
make the selling price small individual

says:
when newspaper readers get the
very best of modern novels served to
them under such conditions it is not
strange that there are fewer tremen-

always be a healthy demand for the

Normal Has JolIihcation.

A jubilee which was to have been
held at the Normal Monday evening
was postponed on account of the wet
weather until Tuesday evening. On
that evening quite q number-s students
and citizens assembled in the new
auditorium and the jollifcation meeting
was opened by Prof. Pickeu, who an
nounced the purpose of the meeting.
He spoke at some length on the history
of the school and its wonderful pro-
gress in the six years of it's existence.
The following interesting statistics
were brought forward as an evidence
of the advancement of the Western
Normal. Number of students belong
ing Sept. l, 1902, %; number of stu
dents May 25, 1908, 2O6. Total enroll
ment at end of first year June /, 1908,
121; same June l, 1908, $50. The
school started September 1, 1902 with
three teachers on the faculty. When
school opens this fall fourteen teachers
will be in the employ of the state.
Following Mr.. Picken's speech the
faculty led jubilee song lauding the
name of H. W. Oshant, Ellis county s
representative who did so much for
the school in the state legislature. Mr..
Oshant responded in a few selected
words and Regent G. P Griffith of
the State Agricultural College was
called upon for few words. Mr..
Griffith spoke briefly and pointedly,
congratulating the Normal on it's new
buildings, and advocating the establish
ment of a domestic science and music
course as soon as possible. Following
this were several other speeches by
leading citizens of Hays, H. D. Shat
fer, E. A. Rea, C. M. Wann, Harry
Pestana. Mr.. Fite of Indiana also
spoke few words highly commenda-
tory of the school. E. F. A. Clark
who has built most of the buildings at
the Normal made what he said was the
the first speech of his life, congratulate
ing the school on its rapid advancement
and thanking the people for the cour-
teous treatment accorded him during
his two visits to Hays.
After the speaking and singing the
meeting adjourned to the campus for
fireworks. The Turner Art Exhibit
which was on display in the gymnasium
was opened to all the visitors free-of-
charge.

cobmn Suggests renEyck for Director

Coburn Suggests TenEyck for Director
In the following letter to the editor
of the Kansas Farmer, State Secretary
of Agriculture, F. D. Coburn, suggests
the naming of Prof A M. TenEyck as
director of the State Experiment Sta
tions at Manhattan and Hays. TenEyck
is a practical farmer as we'll as scien-
tist and he would no doubt be very ac-
ceptable to the Hays station. Follow
ing is Coburn's letter of recommeda-
ton:
Editor Kansas Farmer:-As the prob
lem of selecting a director for the
Agricultural Experiment Stations at
Manhattan and Hays is soon to be
dealt with and these are agricultural
! institutions, ] trust there is no imper-
tinence in a layman's suggesting that
such director should have some ac-
quaintance with agriculture. If he is
a live man, abreast of the present
standards of such work, acquainted
with the institutions, with the State,
it's needs and possibilities, these too
should count for something.
1t seems to me we have just such
tested man, right at hand, in Prof.
A. M. TenEyck. Why not make Ten
Eyck director, and include as a part of
his title, Professor of Agriculture
unless the word agriculture" has
really become obsolete and it's further
use is to be tabooed? In spite of its
growing disuse and the dislike of it at
Manhattan it is pretty good yet and
a professor at an agricultural
college should not be regarded, except
by the fastidious few, as an impropriety
or an indelicacy. F. D. CoBURN:

The best COW Is the one that gives
