INDEPENDENCE DAY.

The wishes of the city dads
in having a sane fourth were Ger,
tainly carried out in Great Bends
Except for a little decoration here
and there, you would not have
known that it was the 4th OF
July. Not "a cracker was shot,
that we heard, or a SKY rocket,
or a roman candle, or any OF the
other various forms of making
cOlored lights or noise that we
have heretofore always had. The
banks were closed all day, and
nearly all the business houses
closed in the afternoon. Various
ones made up little private par
ties and went out on the creek
or some place else where they
thought it might be cool. Great
Bend and Larned played two
games of base ball. one in the
morning and one in the afternoon
The visitors won the first by a
score of 2 to 1,andlOSt the second
4 to l. The afternoon game was
about the best ever seen on the
local diamond.

TOM KELLY WON AGAIN,
BUT LOSES.

We noticed a few days ago
that the Supreme court Of the
state had decided the case of T.
T. Kelly, former state treasurer
against him on the statute of lin
ltatiOn. In other words, the
court has decided that the money
which Kelly paid the county COM
missiOners Of Miami county to
cover an alleged shortage, when
Mr. Kelly was candidate for
state treasurer a few years ago,
acSnnOt be repaid to Mr.. Kelly
because the time for him to re-
cover has passed. It has been
held that Mr.. Kelly was not short
m his accounts, and that being
g the case he did not owe the cOun-
ty a cent. That being true, it is
the duty Of the county to repay
Mr.. Kelly the amount he put up
because if he did not owe the cOul
,ty, the county has no right to the
money We should think that the
state or the county should be as
honest as Individuals, and not
hide behind q statute to withhold
from Kelly the money that un-
der court decisions is due him.
We're the shoe on the other foot
and Mr.. Kelly, for the same rea-
son refused to reimburse the coun
ty because it could not legally
collect from him, he would be
termed a thief. We think the
state or county should be cOnSid-
cred the same, and that Miami
county, if it wants to be square
> should repay this money.

The Killarney Ladies' orchestra Is
the result Of a unique idea that came
to Manager Horner Of the Redpatb
Chautauqua System once
Manager Horner may not be Irish
himself. but be Is exceedingly fond Of
irish music.
Irish music be said once. has al
ways been more or less Of joke on
the stage. The vaudeville has made II
%. And there is no occasion for 1t.
There is so much that Is good In
the music that comes from old Ireland
that am going to have a company
organized that will specialize In Irish
music, and the best Irish music"
And so Ralph Dunbar. the greatest
talent organizing genius In the world.
was given the task Of organizing this
great company.
1t was big dream that came true.
Manager Horner and Ralph Dunbar
have brought together stars from a
dozen of the greatest musical compa-
MES both in America and Europe.
The result has more than exceeded
the expectancy even of those who
dreamed of great results.
The Killarney Ladies' orchestra plays
and sings music from the simple Irish
ballads to the great Irish classics
They are gOrgeously costumed In
rich green costumes. and the stage
decorations are all in green.
They are directed by Mr.. I. Paul
Weiss. a violinist Of more than ma
tiOnal fame.
II is the only great musical organ
ization in this country that makes a
speciality of music from the Emerald
Isle.
And their music stirs Americans,
Scotch. English. Germans and every
other nationality. for there Is most
fascinating charm In this old Irish
music.

The weather since our last

the general condition every place
On Wednesday evening the wind
changed to the north and it cool
ed off a trifle and also acted as
if it would rain. 1t might have
ramed north of us but nothing in
Great Bend beyond the merest
trace. Threshing is in progress,
and the former estimates of half
a crop of wheat seem to have
been plenty high. Corn is begin
ming 20 taSsle out, although not
very high. The next few days
will determine our chances for a
corn crop, If the hot dry wea-
ther continues we will not get
much corn, but a rain within a
day or two can save that crop
for us. 1t is too dry to plOw. In
some sections Of the state the
creeks and streams are drying up
and in some of the cities the Of
flcals have limited the amount of
water that can be used by the
consumers, There are localities

 TEMPEST IN SENATE.
Proposed to Reduce Forest Reserve Appropriation from $5,000,000 to $f,o00,00o.

Washington, March 1.--Senator Hey burn of Idaho made a futile attempt tonight in the senate to have the an- nual expenditures for the maintenance of national forest reserves reduced from more than five million dollars to one million dollars, by the introduction of an amendment to the agricultural bill. As a result he brought down .up- on his head the wrath of friends of the forest service, who --Said he was trying to kill settled policy of the government.

 "This amendment comes from an open, frank and avowed enemy of the forest policy of the United States" ve- hementiy asserted Senator Root of New York Upon the g.-oposal of a single enemy of a settled policy of the gov erpment. we are asked to take this step. There has been no report of a committee in support of it; it comes without recommendation, and pro- test against it.
 Several senators said that they thought the forest service was too costly and that the appropriations ought to be reduced, but that the amendment offered by MT. Hepburn went too far. To these suggestions Mir. Hepburn said that he proposed to fol- low the amendment with another pro- posaI which, if adopted, would elim- mate at least one-third of the forest reserves.
