Cousins are Married on Same Day.

Miss Clara Magrane of Chicago and
her cousin and Miss Alice Glennon of
Plainville were both married at their
respective homes on Tuesday of this
week. Miss Magrane is now the bride
of Fred Haffamier, one of Hays pro-
minent young business men. Miss
Glennon was married to Mr.. Gustav
Husson a young man who has been en-
ployed at Plainville the last couple
years.
1t is thought that Mr.. and Mrs.
Haffamier went through Hays on No.
101 Friday morning on few weeks
honeymoon in the west. They will re-
turn to Hays soon and begin house
keeping. Fred has purchased the G.
A. Lester property in the north end of
town.
Both Mrs. Haffamier and Mrs. Hus-
son are well-known in Hays and have
many friends who are glad to hear of
their good fortune.

The New Mill.

Work on the new mill of the Hays
Mill and Elevator Company is progress
ing nicely. The concrete foundations
will be laid next week. The capacity
of this mill is to be the same as the old
mill-10OO bbls. per day; the storage
capacity is to be much greater, how
ever.
The new mill is to be completed and
ready for operation by November first.
The company is not incorporated as
yet so nothing can be said at this time
regarding the organization.
The erection of the mill means much
to Hays City and more to the farmers
of the county, and will be more appre-
ciated as the loss of the Yost mill by
fire last September was keenly felt.
MIR. Yost promises us more extend
ed write-up at an early date.

the National Republican Convention written by William AensWhe
he Normal Picnic.

The students of the summer school
are here primarily for business and are
working hard but this does not prevent
them from appreciating and taking ad-
vantage of any opportunity for having
a good time. Such an opportunity pre-
sented itself Monday evening when the
faculty arranged for a picnic for the
students at MIR. Picken's residence on
the hill. According to announcement
and request, all assembled at the GYM
nasium at seven o'clock to march over
in body. Imagine the surprise of
the students when a line of automo-
biles steamed up and it was announced
for the first time that all would be
taken a ride. Several trips were nee
essary to convey the crowd to Mr..
Picken's but all succeeded in getting
over before the rain except a few
members of the faculty who, in their
anxiety to get all the students cared
for, waited for the last load The rain
put the autos out of commission before
the 'tlast load" got off so the said
members of the faculty were left strand
ed at the gym with no other consola-
tion than two small cakes and the con-
sciousness of duty well done.
The people at Mr.. Picken's enjoyed
themselves with games until about ten
O'Clock when they were conveyed back
to town by hacks from the livery barn.
Messers. Schwaller, Yost, Oshant
and DR.. Catudal, who so kindly fur
nished autos, have the sincere thanks
of the faculty and students of the sum-
mer school. Such courtesies as this
makes the students feel kindly toward
the town, brightens their school days
and makes them want to come back.
1t is good advertising and will help
swell our attendance.

VIII Have a Big Harvest.

''Within ten days of the biggest
wheat harvest Ellis county has ever
had'' is the way E. F. Madden, presi-
dent of the First National Bank and
one of the Oldest residents of Hays,
puts it. "Unless rust appears in the
wheat or something unforeseen hap
pens the farmers of this vicinity will
begin cutting in week or ten days.
Wages will be reasonable but not ex-
cessive: 81 to So and board, depending
on the experience and ability of the
hand, will constitute the days wages
in the harvest field this year.
Men are f1ocking in on all trains, put
there will not be nearly enough to sat
isfy the demand the latter part of next
week. Many of the laborers who are
now here are not apt to be ''stayers''
when it comes down to business and
more experienced hands will be needed.

Eastern Star Social.

The members of the Eastern Star
and Masonic Orders held very enjoy
able. social last Saturday evening in
their hall. The principal entertain
meme of the evening consisted of cake
walk at 10c walk. A small boy with
a shooting cane was Dlindfolded in the
center of large circle of couples who
marched round and round Two flags
were carried by the couples, each car
rying the flag one quarter turn around
the circle. After several minutes of
marching to the tune of>J H. Ward s
violin and Mrs. West at the piano, the
small boy in the center shot off the
cane. Each of the two couples holding
a flag at the firing of the signal were
awarded cakes, furnished by the mem
bers of the Star. Some of the ladies
were very fortunate in securing sever
al cakes and others walked in vain.
After the cake walks ice cream and
cake was served in the banquet room
and each cake winner was compelled to
donate half of her prize fo the refresh
ment fund. The affair proved a source
of both profit and enjoyment to the
large number who were present.

The Dream.

L went to roost and my head was
sore, and my heart was full of pain;
for upon the roof could hear the roar
of the wet and clammy rain; by day
and night it had pounded down, as the
weather men avouch, and the waves
were deep in the seasick town, so took
myself a crouch. And fell asleep and
dreamed of drouth, the drouth of a
long gone day, when the hot winds
came from the grilling south and roast
ed the crops away; when the trees
were bare and the grass was brown,
and drab was the dusty plain; and the
folk of the country and the town pray
ed God that he send the rain. And
when l woke, and the rain still fell,
the rain of sodden June, 1 cheerily
chirped, All things are WE'LL" and
whistled joyful tune. Walt Mason in
the Emporia Gazette.

An interesting Letter.

The following letter appears in the
Hill City, Graham county,, Reveille last
week:
Hays City, June 3, 1908
Dear Editor:-I am here taking special
work in the Model Rural School, one
department of the Western State Nor
NAL School. This is the only model
school of it's kind in the state and shows
all the workings and equipment of a
country school, with all classes from
the chart through the graduating class
of the common schools.
This department with thirty pupils
under one teacher is in session in the
old barricks on the Fort Hays Reser-
vation and as you may see has historic
associations.
The pupils in addition to the common
branches are studying agriculture and
have vegetable and flower garden
near by.
This Model Rural School is one of the
most helpful, practical features of the
Normal and every teacher Of the Nor
maj anu every IGdcHST VI Country
schools will find much that will help
them on to success in their line of teach
ing.
1 find many Graham county students
both in the county institute, now in
session here, and in the State Normal.
A member of the faculty said to me
that the Graham county students are
among our most earnest workers.
The Western State Normal School
is doing good work and the state made
no mistake in establishing this splendid
institute of learning for the benefit of
teachers in the short grass region. It's
many friends hope soon to see it an in
dependent school where its students
may complete the course without the
added expense of finishing term at
Emporia.
With best wishes for the educational
and financial interests of our own coun-
ty, am very sincerely yours,
MRS. L. J. WILSON

parts and the Saline was on rampage.
Hiram joys cellar was filled and the
water stood nearly to the floor of the
house. Lee Shelton of that neighbor-
hood was in town Wednesday and says
that the storm was accompanied by a
small tornado which did considerable
damage in certain parts. One mans
house and sheds were carried away,
Howard Bakers new barn was lifted
off its foundation aud many others
suffered small losses. Much wheat and
corn was washed out.

Making Cement at Yooemento.

The first of the week, the first ce-
ment was ground out at Yocemento.
This makes the innovation of new in
dustry in western Kansas, and one
which is destined, we believe, to con-
tribute in marked degree to her ag-
gregate wealth. Orders for cement
are coming in rapidly and several thou
sand barrels of the finished product are
now ready for shipment, but owing to
the congested conditions of freight
traffic, little can be shipped out at
present mot until we have dry weather
any way. One hundred and twenty
five men are on the pay roll and more
are to be added when the plant gets to
running smoothly.

summer school Notes.

Principal Picken is making a tour of
the Institutes in the counties south of
Ellis.
Clayton and Gertrude Bice have good
positions in the Plainville schools next
year.
The lectures and experiments in ma
ture study and elementary agriculture,
which are conducted by Mr.. Kent and
Mr.. Pelham at the general hour aroused
much interest. The students volunteer
readily to perform the experiment and
seem determined to get the greatest
possible good out of the work. No
part of the summer school work is of
more value than this.
Good things continue to come to the
summer school. Next week the Tur-
ner Art exhibit will be here to remain
for some time. The exhibit will be
open to the public.
During the auto excursion for the
Normal Monday evening, Fred Schwal-
ler was so unfortunate as to break a
a portion of the gearing of his machine
putting him and his auto out of the
game. Perhaps the presence of such
a bunch of lively school ma'ams ius-
ira ted him little.
County examinations will be given at
the Normal Friday and Saturday of
this week.
The interest in the ball game be-
tween the Institute and the Normal
Monday afternoon may be judged by
the fact that the teams continued to
play through hard shower of rain.
Some of the rooters were also game
and stayed to the end.
