Exclusive Shoe Store.

Adam Krause's exclusive shoe
store was opened to the public on
last Saturday morning, and not
only entertained many visitors
but transacted a very fine bust
ness. 1t is a very neat little es-
tablishment, carries an up-tO-date
line of footwear, and as Adam is
considered one of the best shoe
men In central Kansas, there is
no doubt but what patrons of mis-
establishment will receive their
moneys worth. His many friends
join in wishing him a prosperous
business career. q

Beware of
False T riends
Look Out for those Who Are Cyni-
cal and Sarcastic and De-
nounce those Absent.

1t is the appetency of the majority
of us, when judging our fellow beings,
to attribute to them all the reprehensi-
BILE qualities of which we know our
selves to be possessed without making
the same allowance for the virtues we
believe to be ours. The hypocrite and
the liar detect in every man fail ngs of
a similar kind whilst o the egotist
everybody is striving for personal gain
but himself. Few of us appreciate the
value of friend until our repulsive
conduct has alienated his affe:tion. In
spite of the accumulated experience OF
centuries and misery resulting from con-
fidence betrayed, to which we are daily
witnesses, we still permit our judgment
to he overthrown by smile and word
of flattery.
The man who loves us for ours elves,
who sees our numerous failings and
cOndones them, sees the very small stock
of virtues that the best of us possess
and appreciates them, does not delrde
us by smiles and soft words into be-
| lief of our own superiority.
Words are often nothing more than
wind, as stirring perhaps as the beat
of drum and like the drum as empty.
Deep affection finds difficulty in ex-
pressing itself. The language it speaks
is of the heart, ungarnished and with
out pretence, more valuab than gold
to him whom experience has taught the
art of assessm.n Mt, but goad, a lash to
him who prefers the slough of his own
| imaginings.
! Not till our tickle, purring associates
have spurned us do we turn to the
deeper and more serious friend for sue
cor. When hunting certain kinds of
r game the hunter digs a pit which he
: conceals beneath tie most attractive
t foliage that can be gathered. Lured by
: bait the innocent victim plunge' head
t long to its doom. This is precise ly the
method adopted 10y many soc d
e friends who with smiles and soft words
y lead us to destruction, whilst we, blind
h ed by conceit, are unable to detect the
= difference between smile and sDeer,
o but turn swapping aud snarling at the
truer and more candid friend
IS warns lis of our danger. Beware of the
It man who regales you with sarcastic or
J. cynical comments on an absent friend
It for it is not improbable that you Will
y become his victim the moment your
s. back is turned.

A Message To Garcia.
(COutinuGd)

(COntl1ued)
worked for days wages, and have also
been an employer of labor, and know
there is something to be eaid on both
sides. There is no excellence, per Sc, in
poverty; rags are no recommendation;
and all employers are not rapacious
and high handed, any more than all
poor men are virtuous. My heart goes
out to the man who does his work when
the "boss" is away, as we'll as when he
is at home. And the man, who, when
given letter for Garcia, quietly takes
the missive, without asking any idiotic
questions, and with no lurking inten-
ton of chucking it into the nearest
sewer, or of doing aught else but de-
liver it, never gets "laid off," nor has
to 90 on strike for higher wages. Civ
ilization is one longsanxious search for
just such individuals. Anything such
man asks shall be granted. He is
wanted in every city, town and village
In every Office, shop, store and factory.
The world cries out for such: he is
needed, and needed badly-the man who
can carry message to Garcia. .-Elbert
Hubbard.

MANY DEMONSTRATIONS
PLANNED FOR MEETING
Mediums From Many Lands Will Do
Divers Uncanny Things For the
Edification Of the curiousIy IncIin-
ed-About Spirits.
Associated Press,

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 24.-Hun-
dreds of mediums and believers in
spiritualism. accompanied by several
millions of spirit guides, Mahatnas and
other assorted ha'nts, invaded Kansas
City today to open a great three-day
concourse and carnival of spooks in
the Academy of Music. 1t is believed
that practically all of the spooks which
hang about these parts are here, and
there is likely to be great shortage
in other cities. In fact, it is claimed
that no less than 1886, ,723, All celes-
tial beings returned to earth Temporal
rily for this occasion will be rampant
in the displays of mediumistic PROV
ess.
Such gathering Of thhe clans from
the everlasting shores has not been
known in Missouri since the palmy
days of the old spiritualist camp-meet-
ings at Liberal, spiritualist town in
Barton county, where in former years
great annual meetings were held in the
tabernacle and other buildings erected
by Col. G.. H. Walser, a well-known
criminal lawyer who founded the celes-
tial colony.
During the session commenced to-
day in the Academy of Music there
will be performances of every difficult
feat known to spiritualism. There will
be visitations, finding of lost articles,
revivications of the spirits of those
who have long since departed from the
flesh, and actual visits in percepti-
BILE celestial form of advising spirits.
AS a special inducement to Missouri
/ spiritualists to be in attendance, the
committee in charge Of the convention
arranged for the presence Of Frank F.
Ripley of New York City, reputed to
be the greatest performer of spirit
ualistic stunts in the world today. w.
| j. Warren of Washington, d. c., pres
| ident of the National Association Of
Spiritualists, is also here. Talent from
all over the country who can perform
extraordinary feats in making SOM
nombulistic shades do antics for the
edification of lay members is here for
the occasion.

Nashville. Tenn, February 24.-Col-
onel D. B. Cooper was again the prin-
cipal witness today in the case in
which he, his son Robin and John D.
Sharp are charged with the murder of
former Senator Edward w. Carmack.
He was led over the story of the
killing by General Washington, coun-
. sci for the defense, saying that his
son fred in self-defense when Carmack
shot at him. He said that he drew his
own revolver, but did not fire.
AS soon as the State started the
cross examination it took up the mat
ter of Colonel Cooper's administration
as master of chancery of Maury Coun-
ty. The defense made a strong pro-
test and the jury was sent out until
the matter could be decided.
Captain Fitzhugh of the prosecution
said: 1--WE intend to show, your honor,
that Duncan Brown Cooper Is de-
faulter and embezzler to the extent Of
100000. We propose to prove this be-
yond shadow of doubt. We intend
to show where his own brothers came
into court and admitted his guilt. We
propose to show that he embezzled
from widows and orphans. There IL
further reason. Wei heard of Col
onel Coopers deep sense of honor
how he was stung by sarcastic editor
ials-but we will show that he has
been openly accused of embezzlement

.SHER|FFS ARE SLOW
IN SETTLING TAXES
Less Than 81 100000 Turned Into the
State Treasury During January

recently printed, and there should be
no further delay in the remainder of
the settlements under ordinary cir
cumstances.
The entire receipts of the treasury
for the month of February will not
reach $1,O0O,Oo0 by several thousands,
although it had been expected that the
tax collections alone would be more
than that sum. The obvious explain
alton is that more than the usual num-
Der of people have failed to pay their
taxes before February l, and that the
delinquent lists this year will be much
heavier than in average years.
That this is the case is amply prov
en- by the fact that there is an increase
of several million dollars in the as
sessment rolls over the figures of last
year, hence, instead of a falling on In
collections, they should have been en-
CHANGED.
