Public School improvements

Last year the schools of the city
introduced commercial course. A
class of fifteen started the work.
This year new class of thirty-two
enrolled for the work in stenography
and typewriting. The large new
class necessitates the constant use
of the typewriters, and such use in
a room occupied by classes inter-
feres with the classes as we'll as
with those using the typewriters. 1t
has therefore become necessary to
provide a room especially for the
typewriting, and the school board
has let the job of finishing such a
room to o. Ostness, who began
work yesterday. The new room,
which is on the third floor adjoining
room 10, which will be made the
commercial department room, will
be ready for use in about three
weeks, and will add very materially
to the value Of the commercial de-
partment and of the school work in
general.

Auction Sale and Pumpkin
Pie Dinner

Don't you forget yourself for
minute. The auction sale given by
the men of the Methodist church on
Oct. will have something in it for
you. Get your pocketbook ready
and be on hand. You will find
something in the furniture line or
something to wear or something to
eat or some curio or something else
that you have been looking for and
that you can not get anywhere else
for anything like the same money
And after the sale is over, get your
six O'Clock dinner in the parlors of
the Methodist church. 1t will cost
you a quarter, and will give you
more than you can eat, and more
than you can afford to furnish at
twice the price. Make note of the
time.

Peoples Lecture Course

The lecture course season for 1910
1911 will open Oct. 6, with the APP
pearance of the Dunbar Male Quar-
tette and Bell Ringers. The other
numbers will follow in order, Gov.
Hoch in December, Frank Dixon in
January, John Ratio the early part
of February, the Grilley's Feb. 2S,
and the Kellogg Haines Co, closing
the season. The advertising with
full particulars as to tickets, etc.,
will be out in a few days. Watch
for it. 1t is not expected that the
arrangemen will differ materially
from those in vogue during the last
few years. Seats will be on sale at
Taggart's usually on the Saturday
preceding the appearance of the at
traction under same conditions as
heretofore. Tickets for the course
will be one dollar with extra for re-
serve seat, the amount for the seat
varying with it's location in the
church. The course this year is ex-
ceptionally strong, and should prove
the equal of any that has been pre-
scented in the city. Gov. Hoch and
Frank Dixon have no superiors as
orators, the Kellogg-Haines Co. is
one of the best mixed musical at
fractions before the public, the Dun
bars have been here before and were
one of the best we ever had, while
Ratio and the Grilley's are strictly
high class entertainers. Patrons of
the course may be assured that
there will be something for every
body in the numbers, and that there
will be no letting down in the quality
of the courses as they have been
presented in previous years.

Ellsworth W. R. c. Entertains

The local w. r. C.. accepted an
invitation from the Ellsworth Corps
to attend their regular meeting on
the 18th and meet delegations from
the Red Wing and Spring Valley
Corps. Over thirty went by car
rage and train from here. About
the same number came from Red
Wing and the Spring Valley Corps
was we'll represented. The guests
were beautifully entertained at dim
ner, and afterwards in the hall,
where beside the regular ritual work
there was an interesting program of
music, recitations and speeches,
after which the guests took leave
for their several homes, loud in
praise of their hostesses as royal
entertainers.

P. W. Ramer's Garage and
Automobile Burn

Fire of unknown origin destroyed
P. w. Ramer's garage and auto
mobile about two-thirty o'clock
Sunday morning. Fred Ramer dis
covered the blaze but it had too
much of a start for an attempt to be
made to save any of the contents of
the building and he went immediat-
ly to the fire hall to turn in the
alarm. R. w. Freeman brought
one of the hose carts up with his
auto almost as soon as the alarm
was given, and with the assistance
of Bert Symes, Fred Knoble and
Joe Adams, prevented the spread of
the flames to the Kramer home and
also those of J. S. Wadsworth and
J. H. Grimm, which were but few
feet from the blaze. The destruc-
ton of garage and auto was COM
plete within a few minutes from the
time the fire was discovered, owing
to the large amount of combustible
material and the fact that the build
ing was a frame structure. A large
can of gasoline in the garage ex-
ploded soon after the fire started,
but the tank in the auto withstood
the heat and remained intact. The
loss is estimated at about $1,000,
with no insurance. Mr.. Ramer was
out of town at the time of the fire.

Miss Irma Armstrong returned
last week from tour of Europe.
The Fair Association at Ellsworth
has made arrangements for special
train from Saltwater, Hudson, and
River Falls, to Ellsworth and return
each day Of the Fair. This train
goes to Ellsworth in the morning,
and returns in the evening. See
time table in this issue. The Asso-
citation was obliged to guarantee a
positive sum for this railroad SER
vice, and urge all parties attending
the Fair to patronize this special
train in preference to the regular
trains. BY SO doing, the receipts
of the special train will probably
equal the guarantee.

There is perhaps nothing that in
terferes more with effective school
work than parties given during the
school week. If the time actually
spent at the party alone be consid-
cred the i'll effects on school work
would possibly not be so marked.
But experience has taught all of US
that the mind cannot be centered on
school work, either while anticipat-
ing jovial time or while the i'm
pressions of night of amusement
are fresh in our memories.
A lady who does not live hun
dred miles from this Office suspected
her husband was in the habit of
kissing the pretty servant girl and
resolved to detect him in the act.
After watching some time for an OPP
portunity she heard him enter the
kitchen quietly one evening when
the pretty servant girl was out. She
Immediately placed a shawl over
her head and with matches in hand
and heart burning with jealousy,
entered the darksome kitchen by
the back door and was almost i'm
mediately seized and embraced and
kissed in the most ardent manner.
Burning with rage and bent on adj
ministering a terrible rebuke she
tore loose from his embrace and
struck a match and there stood face
to face with the servant girls beau.
Her husband says after this his wife
was never more affectionate since
the day they were married. -Ex.

Some days ago this General
Prosperity question was under
discussion and Mr.. Milton Babb,
one of our substantial farmers
of Pmey said:
Il tell you gentlemen, the far
mer has no kick coming. In
April 1909 | had a sow that
found 13 pigs. She raised IL of
them and inside of nine
months, now mind you, from
that litter of pigs | had put up
1920 pounds of meat, sold $40 80
worth of hogs and was offered
$40. 90 for the sow. Gentlemen l
tell you how l figure it. 1t was
clean clear profit of $225.00 on
an investment of $1,000 in nine
months time" and Milt Babb
drew in the air through his
teeth signifying he considered
that a clincher.

ODDS AND ENDS

The resources of this broad
land of ours are beyond belief.
General prosperity has certainly
arrived and from all indications
has come to stay. Everything
the farmer has to sell brings
prices that sets a crick in the
slim pocket-book. Kansas used
to be mortaged up to the handle
and twenty years ago it was
common belief in the east that
Kansas was a bankrupt common
wealth and never would pay out.
The money loaners of the east at
that time verify expected that
they would have a large terri
tory of wild, wolly barren plains
on their hands at fancy price,
in the near future. But all that
has changed. Today Kansas
has money to loan. Kansas
bankers successfully bid for
whole Government issues of high
priced, low interest bearing
bonds. Kansas farmers buy
automobiles, build ten thou
sand dollar houses and install
therein up-to-date heating and
lighting plants. There is hard
ly any one in Crittenden county
who does not believe that the
taxible poperty in Kentucky
exceeds the taxible property in
Kansas. The exact opposite is
true three to one. The wealth
of Kentucky however has in
creased wonderfully in the last
twenty years and the next
twenty it will increase by leaps
ard bounds.
