| The probabilities are that the eE-
cursion from and to Kiowa Saturday
evening on account of the picnic
will not be run. A copy of letter
from Mr. Shaffer to the high E2-
foozalum reached the agent here In
which Mr. Schaffer estimated thu
cost of the special service at $s9-5e
/ which estimate was certainly high
enough to cover all expenses OF raa-
| ming the train. The committee sH9-
posing a reasonable margin of profE
would be satisfactory to the A + &
Is. F. advertised the special. Ho~
ever, the supposition of said COMET
i tee was erroneous. A reasonahfe
profit was not what the r. B. Ca
1 was wanting. A telegram reached
the committee later from the higa
kafoozalum asking a. guaranty W
$165.OO, only a paltry 500 prafK
over estimated cost of making tAe
run. The committee not having
much use for the train after tia
picnic should be over, decided n0t
to purchase the train. So at pre-
ent, the chances are that no sDet9a
will be run. Kiowa papers Dlease

That big lot of rain recently has
made threshing rather slow work.
Last week we gave the readers
a rest on account of having visitors
from Wichita and Illinois, that we
wanted to treat the best we could.
Guess the Index readers are glad
we had company.
Our next County superintendent
was at the B. L. Drake sale the 25th
and made some good medicine while
there that will show up on election
day.
C.C.Alford and family of Girard,
Illinois, landed here last week, and
have been viewing the surrounding
country and as far west as the Kin
caid ranch.
B. F. Afford of Wichita was down
last week and helped us dispose of
a fine lot of fried chicken. He walk
ed a little like he was foundered
when he left.
1t is a sight to see the number of
here this fall. Nearly everyone is
going to cut some and a great many
will cut all of their corn crop.
G c. Afford and family left first
of this week for their home in Illi-
nois. They have seen good lot of
Kansas on this trip and are very
well pleased with the outlook for
our country.
We never yet saw as much wheat
land prepared and as we'll prepared
at this season of the year as is now
done. Nearly everyone has the bulk
of their preparatory work done for
real big wheat acreage this fall.

G.H. Reynolds, northwest Of town.

Good barns are a paying invest

That public sale Of B. L. brakes
the 25th was good one, and all
kinds of stock sold brought good
prices. Mr.. Drake was considerably
disappointed by getting more thar
he had counted on.
Your correspondent in company Will
our brother, c. c. Afford, and. fam.

DIR. Wisner's seth Birthday

In celebration of DR.. Henry Wis
ner's seth birthday, Mrs. Wisner
planned and carried into most sue
cessful execution reception and
surprise party at their pleasant
Sharon home Saturday, August 20th.
A large number of DR.. Wisner's old
time friends and neighbors and
many younger ones as we'll, gather
ed at his home near the noon hour
and brought an abundant supply of
table delicacies, including an almost
unlimited assortment of refresh
ments, and it is needless to say that
the day was enjoyed most thorough
ly..
DR.. Wisner was caught entirely
off Of his guard but he is a veteran
in such emergencies and in an in
slant he adapted himself to the.sit-
uation and entered as heartily into
the days festivities as any of his
guests.
At the close of the pleasures in
the evening, the party was photo
graphed in a group and DR.. Wisner
was given a prominent, central
place in the group.

the weather was uncomfortably cold

NJ. T. Williams departed on Fri
day on trip which includes Kansas
City, Osawatomie and Topeka. Pri-
marily, the object of the trip was
. to hear Ex-President Roosevelt's ad-
dress at Osawatomie yesterday,
which was the great Kansas event
OF 1910, but he also took occasion
to attend the Republican party
council which was in session at
Topeka the first OF the week. Mr..
williams is an uhcompromising i'm
surgent and Il intensely interested
in a clear-cut, outspoken, unequivo-
cal platform in harmony with the

to say that he had something to say
about what the platform should con-
tain. Time was when MT. had lit

The lecture-"Over Jordan

church last Friday night was well
attended. The lecturer spoke an
hour and thirty minutes about the
Holy Land and related much. Of in

thereof, as well as Bible History.
He brought with him many mineral
,curios. and coins from that country
which were on exhibition in ithe
