Western Kansas District
Poultry Show

The date of the Western Kan
sas District Show has been
changed from December 40 to
January S-l3, 1872. This show
will be held at Dodge City, Kan
sas this year. This Association
was for med along about the first
of the year and EN- braces all the
country west of Newton, Kansas
to the State line.
The object is to gather all the
best poultry from the different
local shows for final test of SUI
periority.
The best judges have been Sc
cured, The entry fees are low,
and very liberal premiums are
offered. Silver cups will also be
given. and the finest ribbons pro-
durable; in fact everything is be-
ing done to make the show at
tractlve and worth while to at
tend.
District shows are rather an
innovation. Missouri now has
four District shows and Kansas
is coming in line on the idea. 1t
is systemizing the SHOW business
and will be of great benefit to the
Poultry industry.
Western Kansas is rapidly
coming to the front in fancy
poultry breeding. Local breed
ers cannot supply the demand.
1t is therefore new field for
eastern breeders of which they
should take advantage.
The Dodge City show will be
strictly a District show, and
breeders everywhere should take
advantage of the opportunity to
send specimens.
Further information can be
obtained by addressing f. A.
Etrick, DistrictSecretary, Dodge
City, Kansas. Catalog will be
ready for distribution about
December /.

Knights Go To Meade.

Nearly all of the members of
the Liberal lodge of the Knights
of Pythias went to Meade
Thursday, on No. 2 for the pur-
pose of installing a new lodge
there. 1t is expected that there
will be nearly hundred Knights
from the lodges in this territory
in the little town of Meade for
the affair.-Liberal Democrat.
The above is true with the ex-
ception of the last sentence, and
to that we must take exception.
We do not like to be called "a
little town." especially by burg
no larger than Liberal. We fail
to understand why it is that the
papers of that town are so eager
to make such slight remarks
about Meade (when we are every
where classed, with the excep-
ton of by the Liberal papers) as
being one of the most up-to-date
towns along the Rock Island.
Perhaps that big (?) town of Lib
eral is Jealous. AS a matter of
fact, 1.-THE little town of Meade"
has had for the past ten years a
water system which was far
ahead of any thing Liberal had
to boast of, and for the past two
years has had system classed
as one of the best for the size of
the town that there was to be
found. So complete is it that
every residence in the Little
town of Meade" covering an
area of S quarter section, is pro-
tected from fire, and besides all
this the railroad company has
contract for water, and their
orders to their engineers are
''If possible make it to Meade
for water" wonder why they
didn't say Liberal. This is only
one of the many things, were we
given to boasting, in which we
would out-class the big ~ town
of Liberal. Only last week the
big (?) town of Liberal COM
pleted an extension which added
to the excuse of a water works
system they had, will in meas
ure protect them from FIRE.

The pastor is very grateful to the
choir for the good and faithful SER
vice they are rendering. No one is
ever absent without good reason.
Divinity alone can reveal the full
value of the singing of christian
hymns by consecrated christian
men and women. DR.. J. WILDER
Chapman says, "Nothing is SO
inspiring as the music of the church
service and nothing can be more
distressing" 1t is quite as incon-
sistent to have an unconverted choir
as to have an unconverted minister
for both lead in the worship of God.
1t is Just as reasonable for a min
ster to preach in an un know
tongue as for choir to sing after
this fashion and it is almost the ex-
ception rather than the rule to I'M
derstand many of the choirs of our
important churches. Sometimes
it fails because the subject of the
hymn is utterly foreign to the man
part of the service, frequently it fails
because we attach too little import
acre to it as an element of reaching
and influencing the lives of the peo-
pie. What can be better than the
choir of singers, consecrated to
Christ and singing because they re-
alize that next to the minister they
have to do with reaching the people
and in many cases beyond the nil
lister they have power over the un-
saved.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Capt. Weeden, Owing to III Health, Re-
signs from Football Team-Brainerd
Taylor the New Leader.

Brainerd Taylor was elected captain of
the football team Tuesday afternoon.
Vermont academy plays here tomorrow
afternoon and the football team will go
next week Saturday to Greenfield to play
the Greenfield high school team.
Work on tackling the dummy was be-
gun this week by members of the foot
ball teams. Some of the second string
men are showing up to advantage and
with a little more beef some of them
look as though they would develop into
first class men.
Vermont academy appears at Island
park tomorrow and a good game is eX-
pected. Coach Hughes has been work.
ing hard this week to bring his team
into shape, after losing two valuable
men, and the boys have been showing
the spirit that helps win games. Two Of
the Vermont guards weigh 210 and $50
pounds. which is some more thar the
weight of Haskell and Brown.
Because Of the withdra wal of Weeden
from the football team several changes
will be made in the lineup. Weeden will
not play any more on account of i'll
health, and will be missed in the back
field as he has been a strong and able
player. His work assisted materially in
the success of last years team. He was
the best man on the team at starting off

ably will find it difficult to find a man to
take his place in that department of the
game. Crosby probably will be taken
from right end and Adams from left
tackle and placed in the backfield. For
rest Wentworth probably will graduate
from the second team and take Crosby's
position. Several candidates will be
tried out for Adams's position.
The classes in the high school, with
the exception of the sophomores, have
elected their officers for the coming year.
The sophomOres nave chosen a president
and vice president, but it is thought the
former will not serve and another cleo
ton will be held. The other officers are
as follows: Senior c~lass-Pres, julius
Kuech; vice pres, Harriet Emerson; sec,
Marguerite White; treas, Everett Went
worth; asst. treas, Alice Spencer; exec

baseman of Orange high school, We're
given a tryout by Springfield in the post

Vance, Brattleboro's short stop, will
probably play basketball with the strong
team which Manager Shea is collecting
in Turner'S Falls. Turner's Falls will be
included in the so-called ConDectlcut

Dean academy and the past two seasons
played basketball with the Uniontown,

Lecture on "Uncle Toms Cabin"

Rev. Charles T.. Stowe, son of Harriet
Beecher Stowe and nephew of Henry
Ward Beecher, gave a lecture in the
Congrega tional church Tuesday evening
on the causes of the Civil war and how
his mother came to write Uncle Toms
Cabin" A good-sized audience was pres
ent and all were deeply impressed with
the lecture. Rev. MIR. Stowe has been a
diligent student of the Civil war period
and his statement in detail of the con-
ditions which brought about the war
were extremely interesting.
He dispelied some popular fallacies as
to the part which slavery had in bring
ing about the conflict and showed that
slavery probably would have continued
to flourish in the North as long as it did
in the South had the economic conditions
IN the North been as favorable; also that
the institution probably would have died
out in the South had it not been for the
invention of the cotton gin. Mrs. Stoves
books was not written with a view to
infaming the southern people, whom she
loved. but to show them tina they were
better than the institution. He gave a
new Interpretation of the book and
spoke interestingly of the effect which
1t had upon the people at the time of its
appearance.
In introducing the speaker Rev. r. NJ.
Houghton called attention to the fact
that the first money earned on the lee
ture platform by the late Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, the noted lecturer and
divine, was earned in Brattleboro. Rev.
Mr.. Stowe stated in the course of his
lecture that his father was at one time
a patient in the old Wesselhoeft water
cure building in this town. The speaker
came under the auspices of the Young
Women's association.

Safe Blowers Secured $3.50, 900.

One of the largest hauls ever made by
burglars in this country was secured
from the branch of the bank of Mon
treal in Westminster, B. c., Thursday
night, when three safe blowers escaped
with $25S 900. The men were not seen
except by a Chinese caretaker. They
probably escaped in a launch down the
Frazier river or went by automobile to
Vancouver. The robbery was timed to
match the vacation of the night watch
man. A clerk was supposed to sleep in
the bank, but for some reason not ex-
planned he was absent. The money
taken included $50, 900 in $40 bills, 500, 900
in IS bills, $4,000 in gold and the re-
mainder in notes of other banks. The
bank vault contained $350,000 and 1t was
at first reported that the burglars fled
with 1915 600, but an examination showed
that this was incorrect. The cash sup
ply was above normal, as the season for
financing salmon shipments was closing.
