G.W Horncy Buys Grand Hotel Building

Last Friday Geo. w. Honey, pro-
prietor Of the Grand Hotel, purchas-
ed the hotel building for the re-
markably low price Of 100000.
For a number Of years this property was
held by w. E. SwentzeI Of Kansas City
and it has been on the market ever since
real estate took slump over 5 years
ago, and the wonder is that it was not
picked up before the new owner bought
it. This building was built at a cost of
$4,000. 1t is three-story brick and
the largest business building in Barber
county. 1t was the last real good snap
IN real estate to be embraced in this city.
Mr. Horney's ownership Of the hotel
means that it will be improved and re-
paired and made one Of the best hotel.
in this part Of the state.

 For six years I was chronic suf- ferer from stomach trouble. In all that time I did not eat meal to en- joy it. No matter what I ate 1t caused pain and distress. Food laid Tn a hard lump upon my stomach. I lost in flesh and strength, and was un- able to find relief.

Utilities Bill convaIeselna.

Practically all the newspapers in the state have predicted that the senate would kill the public utilities bill, and not few have had noses counted with the result that 1t was announced that the balance of power on that .impor- tant question was held by the four democratic members of that body. Whether the situation was correctly sized up or not is a matter of con- lecture, but if it was accurately de- termined at the time, then some of the senators have since seen a light. The vote in the upper branch showed that yesterday when Senator Searls came down from his pedestal and agreed to @ bill that was in opposition to the report made by the oommittee on the judiciary, of which he is chair man. The measure however, Is not out of the woods yet by any means, but it has taken a step forward and utilities bill being passed at this ses- sion are at least favorable. This is due more to agitation than to anything else. The leaders in both branches ad- init that a bill may be drafted which will pass. It may not be just what the state needs, but if a start is made with measure of some nature it can be amended at the next session. The point now is to get the law into the statute books and the remainder will be comparatively easy. So far the fight has been a bitter one, although the hardest blows were struck during the hearings, and finally by the com mittee, which made an unfaVOrable re- port.-The worst may now be over- New Britain Herald.

CIRCULATION
A THIRD OF A MILLION.

The full tide of immigration for the first four months of the year brought 32S, ,70l souls to these shores, which shows that the rush Is being well main tained which was commenced in 1907, the excess being a little over 12,000 above the rush of 1908.
 This year the movement was at first Eiow and unpronising, but during the last two months the arrivals have been larger than during the same time in any previous year. If the same rate is kept up Tor the remainder of this year Rll records will be broken. Reports now at hand from Europe indicate that inc summer steerage travel from the United Kingdom wtll not show any very great increase, but from Ham burg, Bremen and the Mediterranean ports every sign seems to point to an enormous influx to New York. From Hamburg and Bremen the increase during the first three months of this year over the same period last year was 61,060. The New York Journal of Commerce says, in this connection, it Is interesting to note that during this spring and summer new steamships with an aggregate tonnage of 100000 will be added to the carrying facilities of various lines. The Increase in ship ping. however, is confined to the pas senger trade. There has been no marked Increase in freight business. Among the latest immigrant arrivals were 1,663 from Genoa and Naples by inc Europa; 1,647 from Naples and Palermo, by the San Giorgio; POS from Genoa and Naples. by the Taor- nina; 1.294 from Genoa and Naples, by the Bsrbarossa; 1,O97 from Naples and Palermo by the Italia.

rHE boo ANp rHE TRoLLEY.

The one thing the trolleymen were united upon at a recent meeting of the managers and the employees was the dog as a passenger upon trolley lines, and from all their experiences they would have these animals prohibited. No one can blame these men for their objections or prejudices against the canine in average hands. Where patrons have fear of dogs they are a nuisance, but 1t is quite a hardship to oblige people to walk long dis tances when they have a small dog with them and are willing to pay two fares.
 The dog has always been an issue in civilized life, and always will be. The rogues would have him exterm- mated and so would many respecta- ble people who have no use or love for him. It Is well enough to protect the men and the passengers, and a rule which required the muzzling of a dog while travelling on the trolley would be rational and ought to be re- spected. The people who do not be- lieve in dogs have right to ask for reasonable protection.
