HOME Z GROCER BEAT IT.

A travelling grocery corncern such
as has been operating here has been
working in the territory about Fair
bury, Neb. The Gazette of that place
took the job lot offered by the con-
Germ and after the price had been
removed, submitted the list to a
local grocer for prices, assuring him
that he would buy where he could
buy the cheapest. The travelling
concern was selling the list at $3.50.
Do you suppose the home man would
fill 1t for that sum? Not much. He
figured the bill and told the Gus
toner the price would be 1894, and
besides the customer could load the
goods into his rig and take them
right home with him after making
a careful examination to know wheth-
er or not he was getting stuff &C
cording to the samples.
The Reflector would like to see
one of the grocery concerns lists.
Who will send one to this office?

FIELDS ARE CRACKED OPEN.
Wild, Weird Tale Comes from the
Solomon Valley.

Bennington, Kan, July 1O.-Under
the influence of sun whose torrid
rays have been unchecked by mist
or cloud the earth has cracked open
in many stubble fields near here,
these cracks yawning to such an ex-
tent in some places that when haul
ing the bundles of wheat to the
threshing machine 1t is necessary to
drive around them.
The ponds and small creeks in
pastures have dried up and farmers
coming in tell of great numbers of
rabbits which collect about the water
tanks in pastures which are supplied
with water from wells, with wind
mills. The little ANIMALS seem 20
have lost all fear Of being molested.
for when approached they do not
scamper away from the pools o.
water about the tank and may be
easily captured. The Solomon River
is lower than it has even been known
to be and the we'll driller Is kept
busy putting down wells. while the
grass is dead. the growing corn is
only slightly damaged, being dark
green and without indications of be-
ing burned. A rain soon will mean
a good corn crop.

HAS A LINCOLN WHISTLE.
Dan Haner Thinks His Relic Worth
a Lot Of Money.

Harrington, July 10.-Dan Haner'
the Harrington gardener, has solid
brass whistle that has history. Mr..
Haner's father gave it to him about
twenty years ago as a keepsake
The whistle was once the property
of Abraham Lincoln, and was used
by him while boating on the OHIO
river in an early day, and afterwards
when Mr.. Lincoln was a SURVEYOR
Lincoln presented 1t to Mr.. Haner
ST., when he was in the law business
in Illinois, as he had no further use
for such an article, and all these
years it has been a much-prized keep
sake in the family. Although small
enough to carry around in the pocket
it was as loud and shrill as COM
mon sized steamboat whistle in those
days, and Mr.. Lincoln used 1t while
boating for that purpose. Anyone
who is particularly interested In
souvenirs that have history will
do well to correspond with Mr..
TIaney, for this whistle certainly has
an interesting history. Whether or
not the gentleman would be induced
to part with it is not known, but ii
he would, it ought to bring a good
round price.

ton. The treasury Officially iaunder-l

siens Of a governmental promise to

pliments. 1t is only In emergencies
Of this kind that our Uncle Samuel

Nobody knows where the original
bill came from or how long II nad

cyclone may have blown It there or
one of EIijah's ravens may have drop
ned it. The Industrious woman VINO
raked it up is $500 to the good, and
the yard looks a whole lot better
and is freer from disease germs than
it was prior to the raking,
owners of front yards and back
yards, too, for that matter, should
initiate the example Of the Iowa wo-
man. If they do not dig up any
$500 bill they probably will save
some doctor bills.

To OPERATE OR NOT.

All unknown to Arthur Capper, the
physicians of. the Golden Belt Medi-
cal society examined his boom for
governor this week and after a care
full diagnosis, announced that in or
der to insure its natural growth, 1t
would be necessary for Mr.. Capper
to submit to an operation for the
removal of the DR.. Carson adver-
Using from the Topeka Capital. Such
an announcement cannot but cause
some apprehension on the part OF
Mr., Capper, for the fine progress
his boom has made in the last few
weeks has endeared it to him and
he would regret to see anything
happen to interfere with its health
and vigor, and, on the other hand,
with all due regard to the eminent
physicians who do not agree with
him, DR.. Carson has a number of
friends in the state, who believe
they have been helped by visit to
his Temple of Health, and Mr.. Cap
per's refusal of DR.. Carson's money
might set up an inflammation that
would render the operation exceed
ingly disastrous to the boom. More
over, DR.. Carson pays real money
for his advertising and the recent
resolution is perhaps the first free
publicity he has received for some
time. Mr.. Capper would be more
than human if he did not give the
DR.. Carson check some consideration
and he now confronts the dilemma
of having the opposition of some Of
his medical friends or mourning the
loss OF the DR.. Carson business and
the support of the doctors friends
in Kansas. Verify the path to the
governors office is sadly in need OF
the services Of the road drag.-sa-

POSTAL BANKS GROWING.

The purpose Of the officials 10
designate a hundred and fifty or more
new postal savings offices a week.
until all of the forty thousand money
order postoffices Of the country have
been made available for savings
measures their enthusiasm over the
success of the new system. Infor-
NAL reports from postmasters at the
offices established during the last
several months, clearly indicate that
this new enterprise has more than
met with the success anticipated by
the officials. A larger number OF
depositors are noted, and larger In
dividual amounts are being deposited.
In these respects the record OF for
weight offices first named, has been
far exceeded by many of the newer
offices. When all accounts up to
July LIST are in, it is expected that
they VIII SNOW that lhO o66ASoSSS -
posits exceed 100000. 1t is a
matter Of special qualification to the
officials to note that the national
banks, as we'll as the savings insti-
tutlons have not suffered in the least
by the withdrawal of accounts for
deposit in the postoffices, and, as
a consequence, bankers generally
throughout the country are becom-
ling most enthusiastic supporters OF
the new system. Up to this time
$50 postal savings offices have been
established. and. as stated, designa-
tlons amounting to practically a hun
bred and fifty week will from now
on be made II Congress continues to
make the necessary appropriations
as 1t is practically certain to do. A
number Of first class offices, posi-
bly,, will be designated soon

The Kansas legislature has adopt
ed rather new and in may respects
unusual law. 1t is designed to pro-
vide a pension for worthy blind or
cripples SO as to enable them to live
without begging. The law provides
that the county commissioners may
grant pensions to worthy cripppes
not to exceed $25 a month. All de-
string a pension of more than that
amount, the largest possible to grant
being $50 a month, must submit the
question to the people at the next
general election. A majority vote is
necessary to determine the question.

WARE SPOKE AT GETTYSBURG,


After he had resigned as pension
commissioner and returned to Kan
sas, Gene Ware was fond of relating
an experience that befell him while
he was stationed at the national
capital. He was invited to deliver
a Fourth Of July Grafton at Gettys-
burg, and accepted, He mentioned
the matter to President Roosevelt
one day at the White House.
"By George, that's bully" said
Teddy, II will Just go down and lis
ten to your address," Then Teddy
paused for a moment and said: Eyes,
and I'll make Root go too" Then
he paused again and said; "I'll just
take the whole cabinet"
OF course that made Ware feel
good. To think that the president
Of the United States and the menu
bers Of his cabinet would go to hear
him make an address tended to
puff him up Just a little.
Well, Teddy and several members
Of the cabinet went, all right. Court
esy demanded that the president be
called on first "for a few remarks"
So Teddy was called on. He spoke
for two straight hours and Ware
never did get to deliver his speech.

cording to the Kansas City Star, is
to return to the practice Of main
tanning guideposts along its public
highways. The new road law, which
became effective last month, provides
for establishing guldeposts at the
intersection Of every road, upon
which must be painted the distance
and direction to the cities on that
road.
In tt early days Of travelling the
signpost was a recognized and es-
sential feature. Houses were scat
tered, and there were few people to
be met along the way. Az the rail-
roads increased In number and the
travel By road was limited to short
excursions between cities And
neighboring farms, the guideposts
