New Undertaking Parlors

The undertaking business Of
the Great Bend Furniture Go,
has been increasing so rapidly in
the past year that they have bee
compelled to secure more room
for this Inc of work. The firm
has rented the west room of the
Fair block, formerly occupied by
Fred Walker for a buggy room.
They have had the same repaper-
ed, painted, partitioned off, and
otherwise improved for use as an
up-'O-date undertaking establish
ment. Two rooms have been pro
vided in The front end of the
building, one as an office and tht
other as a dressing room. This
latter is so arranged thai it will
be strictly private and exclus
I've. The center of the store room
proper will be the casket display
room, The caskets being on trucks
and in glass cases. The room is
sufficiently large to be used as
a chapel for funerals. In the
rear will be morgue and the
work room for trimming cask-
cts, etc. The firm will begin us
ing this room in the course of a
week. and with this new arrange
ment will certainly have one Of
the most complete undertaking
establishments in this section of
the state.

Base Ball.

Since our last issue the Mill
ers have won a majority of the
games played. On Thursday OF
last week they played Wellington
on THE home grounds, but it was
no gaa;e, the rain putting a
stop to proceedings in the last
half of the fifth inning with the
Score standing 0 to 0. When
the game was called Great Bend
had a man 0u second, and one
man down. On Friday the NIL
lers" won a 13 inning contest
from Wellington, score 4 to 5.
Saturday double header was
pulled off with the same team.
The home boys won the first
game z to and the second 4 to
3. Thi; made an even break on
the season with the Dukes. :" On
Sunday a transferred game was
played with Lyons, the latter
winning 5 to l. o nNIonday and
Tuesday the team played at Ly-
ors, losing the first game 5 to
3, and the second 10 to 6. This
wound up the season with Ly.
ons getting S out of the IA
games. On Wednesday the final
series with Newton was be-
gun at home, the 'Millers" de-
feating tlle 'Railroaders" 3 to l..
This series finishes Friday. Thel
Hutchinson comes here for three
games which will be the last to b
played ON the home diamond
SO if you want to see the home
team at home, You have not
much time in which to see it.
The boys have played good ball.
Show your appreciation by at
tending the remainder of the
games. After Monday they are
at Arkansas City for three games
Hutchinson for three games, and
1t is all over. There is a post
poned game at Newton, but it
will likely not be played. At thi
writing the team stands even
5O6, fourth place, and wall doubt
less finish in that notch, but
with a little better percentage.

Mr.. Russell says that he never

The experience was quite suffic-

Mr.. Russell says THAT the feeling

pointed a committee to inter

much money can be raised. This
committee is to make their re-

Now here is a chance to do

We understand Claflin raised
$4,000 in three hours when the
question of building an opera

don't seem to be any reason why

Remarkable Vindication


The democratic platform for
1908 contained the following
plans:
1--WE favor an income tax as
part of our revenue system, and
we urge the submission of a
constitutional amendment Specif-
ically authorizing congress to
levy and collect tax upon indi-
vidual and corporate incomes, to
the end THAT wealth may bear its
appropriate share of the bur
dens of the federal government.
Mr.. Bryan indOrsed this plank
and urged the necessity of a
constitutional amendment. Pres
ident Taft, in his acceptance
speech, insisted that an amend
ment was not necessary. For
years the republican leaders
have opposed an income tax and
denounced the democrats for ad-
vlsiEg a change
President Taft sends a mess
age to congress proposing the
submission of an income tax
amendment and it passes the
senate by a llLa:lilnous vote
n ayes; and nays, none. And ii
will undoubtedly pass the house.
Was vindication ever more COM
pletef
Democratic governors in states
having democratic Legislatures
ought 10 call extra sessions at
once and secure immediate rati-
ficatiOn of the amendment. In.
come tax clubs ought to be form
ed Immediately in every county
-non-parhssn clabs to pledge
members of the various legisla.
lures to vote for ratification.
Now is the time to act. The dol
lars have been enjoying an ex.
emption denied to man. As the
law is now the government in
time Of war can take the hus
band from the wife, the son from
the mother and the father from
his children, and stand them W
in front of an enemy's guns, bud
it cannot even N the hour of per.
il, compel wealth to bear it
share of the expenses of tht
government. The income ta1
amendment ought to be ratified
at the earliest possible moment
Let democrats get to work il

They held what might be 'c.lll.

twenty youngsters were invited
and they chose sides for a game.
They played about two hours
when time was called while thy
devoured a large water melon,
which had been kept ON ice al
day, hence was in just the right
conditiO nbo be devoured. Then
they finished their game. At
SIX O'Clock they were invited to
the dining room where a supper
was spread for them, which con-
tanned as many good things just
what boys want, as they were
capable Of storing away. They
had TIE best time in their lives,
about, and we are sure when
they all left for their homes in a
very happy frame of mind, they
did 50 with tine vrey. kndliest
feeling for little Arthur and his
folks for having treated them 50
