From Russell Record.

Jas. Madsen of Fairport was in town
last Saturday. Judge Ruppenthal
returned the latter part of last week
from Denver where he attended Bryan's
convention. III. L. Pestana of Hays
was in Russell Monday, he being one of
the attorneys in the Langhofer versus
Herbel case. .....-..... Last FRIDAY was the
hottest day of the season, the thermo-
meter registering 81 in the shade the
greater part of the afternoon. Mr..
and Mrs. Levick of Hays came down
Friday and stayed over Sunday visiting
the latters parents, F. B. Hines and
WIFE. --------.. Mrs. Carrie Rockefeller
Colliver came down from Hays last
Friday morning to visit the home folks
and her friend, Miss Edna Mann of
Chicago.

The wheat harvest in Ellis county
was all finished this week and in some
parts of the county blowing is we'll un-
der way Farmers now realize the adj
vantages of early blowing and but few
days are wasted after the crop is gath
cred until the soil is turned over.
Although this years crop will hardlv
come up to the prophecy of prorni-
nent Hays citizen. which was published
in this paper at the beginning of har-
vest, "that it will be the biggest crop
ever harvested in Ellis county," yet it
has been very good year with most
of the farmers and they are well satis-
fed. One of the things worthy of note
in this years wheat harvest is the ripen-
ing of the crop. For nearly four weeks
cutting has been going on in different
parts of the county, beginning in the east
end of the county as early as June %
and lasting until the present date in the
north part of the county. This is rath-
er out of the ordinary, as the harvest
generally lasts only about fifteen days.

Dirt in Potato Sacks.

Topeka, July Is. An excess of dirt in
sacks of potatoes is adulteration under
the rulings of the pure food department
and the attorney general, and farmers
must see to it that the potatoes they
sell do not contain too much earth The
pure food department is planning some
prosecutions against farmers who are
not careful enough in packing potatoes.
A groceryman wanted to prosecute
commission firm for selling five sacks of
potatoes weighing $50 pounds which
contained 65 pounds of earth Attorney
General Jackson ruled that the commits
sion firm cannot be prosecuted but that
the farmer who packed the potatoes can
be arrested for selling adulterated foods.

The Carnival.

The Brundage & Fisher Carnival Co.
have been showing in Hays this week
on the vacant lots in front of the court
house. The amusements are all that
could be expected for the price and
most of those who attended were salts
fed with what they saw. The company
carries a large troupe of actors, help
ers, and show people. They are an un-
usually courteous troupe and the shows
are clean, moral and attractive. The
electric palace, crazy house and the
Merry Widow shows were all very good
and are drawing good crowds every
night. A collection of preserved sea
fish is one of the finest things on the
grounds and visit to this tent is truly
lesson in natural history. The large
African snake attracted considerable
attention and was worth the price of
admission. The Ferris wheel and the
merry-go-round both received liberal
patronage, especially at the hands of
the younger folk.
Taken all in all the show is all that
8 claimed for it and it serves very
well to relieve the dull summer days.

Thorstenbers Concert.

Those who attended the Thorstenberg-
Hobbs concert last Friday night were
more than repaid. Although the wealth
er was close and warm the interest of
the audience was held from first to last.
Several numbers were given by each
and were greatly enjoyed. The main
number of the evening "Enoch Arden"
which was given with a musical setting,
was far beyond anything ever given in
this city. Miss Hobbs is certainly a
talented elocutionist and Bethany Col
lege can well be proud of her.
Prof. Thorstenberg is true artist at
the piano and his selections were very
classical. The professor also has a fine
baritone voice. He complimented the
Normal highly on it's new grand piano.
This was the first evening entertain
ment held in the new auditorium Of the
Normal and those who were present
were much pleased with the new hall.
The four beautiful electric chandeliers
light up the large room very nicely.
