the store Of Mrs. Moore, one of those
Piano contests and a Miss Morgan got
the piano, while the next lady was a
close competitor. Remember the Zeig-
Ter contest closes soon.
A splendid rain fell in this county
last Saturday and we have the happiest
lot of farmers in the state. Their
wheat fields never looked finer for the
middle of May, while trees and gar
dens were surely much benefited by
quiet, easy-falling rain.

made mistake in saying that Dentist
Jordan of Hays had purchased the Mrs

Before purchasing a cream separator
call on Henry Reemsnyder at his cream
station in Hays, and examine the Bea-
trice. Here is a machine the like Of
which for perfection in all points can
not be found. It has been put side by
side in open competition with the best
of other makes and proved an easy
winner. In this machine you get ALL
the cream and NOTHING ELSE.
Not a drop of water can escape into
the cream side. You may pour water
in it all summer, yet not drop will
appear in the cream department.
What do you think Of that? Again it
is so simple and easy to clean that
child can do that. Nothing complex or
ambiguous about it. The principle Of
construction is so perfect and scientific
that not a drop of cream will be left in
the milk and this is why you will get
more cream from the use Of the Bea-
trice than from any other separator.

It is being told of one of our young
poultry buyers that rather bashful
young lady from Buckeye township
went into his place Of business the
other day carrying three nice chickens
and after inquiring the price, she put
them on a pile of egg boxes. The
young man didn't know that the
chickens feet were tied and without
thinking, or maybe as a joke, asked
her if they would lay there. She
bIushed, looked out the door and said
with a smile "No sir, they are roost-
ers'' Well, that young man couldn't
draw the check for the cream and
eggs any too quickly.

members of the house were seated
around their chamber an unlocked
for incident occurred, which was as
sensational and violent as 1t was re-

near Representative Cavett, of Nox-

him relative to resolution which
had been introduced relative TO and
criticising somewhat his military his

Whilst so engaged Representative

seen to go toward the cloak room
from which he presently emerged
with a stick in his hand. Walking
10 where DR.. Rowland was. he ad-
dressed him in regard to certain re-
marks. which he had understood Row
land had made derogatory to him.
and, without another word. struck
him twice over the head in an angry
and vicious manner. seriously bruis-
ing his opponent, and before DR..
Rowland could arise to his feet he
had followed it up with another blow.
The difficulty grew out OF mis-
which had existed be-
tween the two over the affair apper-
tanning to the department over which
DR.. Rowland presldes, and had its
direct start on Friday evening, when
DR.. Rowland is said 30 have made
some remarks to Capt. Burkitt that
were not exactly flattcring or com
