Attention is directed this week
to the advertisement of 7. N. finch.
er's hne registered trotteI, "irve.
lythe." Few horses are brought
to this country that can show the
build, speed and road qualities, as
well as the breeding that this horse
shows. Breeders should examine
his tabulated pedigree and they
will find an excellent combination
in trotting blood and speed.
]. A. Fair and wife went to
Wichita the latter part of last
week to consult physicians with
regard to Mrs. Fairs ailment, and
yesterday she underwent a surgical
operation. No word was received
as to how she withstood it, up to
the time of going to press, but it
is our sincere hope that the very
best reports will be received. It
was Mrs. Fairs second ordeal of
this nature.
Word comes from Sharon that
Frank Tincher, brother of ]. N.
Tincher of this city, has been very
critically i'll for more than a week
and his recovery is very doubtful.
Mr.. Tincher has been afflicted with
lung trouble over two years. He
took trip south about a year or
more ago and seemed to be bene-
htec but lately the old trouble re.
appeared with renewed force. We
trust we shall hear better news
from his bedside soon.
A board of appraisers consisting
of R. H. Clay, H. w. Skinner and
w. L. Bragg, was appointed by
Judge Garrison last week to take
an inventory of the late I. r.
Holiness effects. They went to
the ranch at Aetna and other
places where there is property, on
Thursday, accompanied by ]. P.
Hall and ]. S. Runyan, executors,
returning on Saturday. 1t will re.
Qulre considerable time to make
a complete inventory of this large
estate.
During his visit here recently,
Prof. Dyche, state game and fish
warden, complimented Judge Ellis
very highly on his Silver Springs
lakes north of this city. He said
that they were as fine as he had
ever seen in his extensive travels,
if not the finest in the state of
Kansas. We are glad to hear of
this compliment. Judge Ellis has
given a great deal of time and
spent large sums of money in max
ing these lakes and his great suc-
cess must be a source of pride
to him. And the people of Barber
county share that pride with him:

a Corn n usking.

A notable corn husking occurred in
Cornwall, September 29. Seven good
%neighbors kindly consented to leave
their W pressing work, and assist the
writer in husking out the corn grown
upon his prize contest acre.
The day was ideal. The sun shone
with the smiles of a June morning.
The land had been measured by three
inspectors" who affirmed under oath,
that there was just n acre only.
Tested scales were taken to the field.
Husking and weighing the corn was
soon in progress. There was a compe-
tent weigher. Two men kept separate
tally's of the weighings, and their foot
ings at night were alike into one pound.
The corn was all husked in the field in
one day. The net weight of the corn
on the ear, as reported by the two tally
men, was 1920 pounds. This means at
70 pounds to the bushel-120 bushels and
20 pounds of shelled corn.
The utmost pains were exercised to
secure accuracy, and as all officiating
We're under oath to give a square deal,
it is believed the result, as reported, is

Freight Wreck at Mortified.

Two freight rains met in head on col
lision near the Harlow bridge, about one
and a half miles south Of Mortified sta
ton, Friday afternoon and 90 cars were
piled high in a mass of kindling wood,
completely blocking the track. Louis
Bushardt of St. Adams, engineer of the
north bound train, suffered a broken
shoulder, all other members of both
crews m~iraculously escaping injury.
The trains met on a sharp curve. about
a quarter of a mile south of the Harlow
bridge. Both crews jumped before the
crash, and, as there is a high embank-
ment on both sides at that point, it is
very strange that none of them were
badly injured or killed. Neither engine
left the rails, but both were bailey
smashed. The north bound engine car
ried a long string of box cars, most of
which were empty. Fourteen of these
cars were reduced to a mingled mass,
one of them hurdling the engine and
landing $50 feet ahead Of it. On the
south bound train tour cars of merchan-
disc and two of grain were wrecked, the
remainder sticking to the iron. Just
before the crash Brakeman Hummell of
the north-bound train jumped from the
top of a car and landed with hardly a
scratch. In the wreck at Mortified
Falls a few weeks ago this same man
was badly bruised, and he SAYS now that
he is through railroading.

of the peculiarities of living elephants
