BOOK AGENT RECEIVED LICKING
An Impudent Book Seller Gets Into
a Lot Of Trouble.

The summer season is on and so
is the immigration of book agents,
Junction City folks will have their
share of agents within the next few
weeks. Yesterday an agent went to
the home of one of the town ladies
and persisted in sedlling set of his
books. The lady of the house re-
fused to buy and the man got insult
ing. About that time the son ar
rived home and he asked the agent
to apologize. The agent refused and
the son gave him such a drubbing
around on the front lawn that he
meekly went back to the house and
begged the pardon of the woman he
had ipsulted.
Up at Beloit not long ago smooth
agent spent a few hours in the city
calling on the ladies of the town in
terested in literary work. Before he
left he had the signature of many
women and his collections amounted
to several hundred dollars and the
ladies received something they had
not looked for in the book line.
Don't sign your name to any paper
forban agent, that is If you do not
wish to perhaps get in trouble

ALLIGATOR STORY COMES IN
FROM SOLOMON THIS TIME

You would not think 1t of the new
editor of the Solomon Tribune, but
here is the story his paper tells:
There is a big alligator in the
Smoky river and it is coming this
way. Boys who persist in going
swimming in the Smoky had best
watch out. A long time ago, year
or more, the big fellow was reported
in the Republican river near Clay
Center. About two or three weeks
ago he was seen in the Smoky Hill
river near Junction City. The Re-
publican and Smoky Hill meet at
Junction City and form the Kaw. The
fellow evidently swan down the Re-
publican and then turned up in the
Smoky Hill.
Last Friday two farmers saw him
in the Smoky above the Enterprise
mill dam. He is evidently coming
this way. 1t is believed that he gets
out of the rivers and walks along
the bank past the mill dams and then
starts his swim upstream. No one
seems to know where he came from.
Several years ago two small alliga-
tors escaped from the Tatro green
house at Salina and got into the
Smoky Hill river, and they have new
err been seen since they got out OF
the greenhouse.

A Ahvasa 81 crup prospects in
Kansas June &c. By the state Board
Of Agriculture, and reported today,
reveals that more than six million
acres 5f-the winter wheat sown win
30 to harvest. or practically the same
as was indicated BY the boards re-
port. OF two months ago. This Is be-
tween a fifth and a fourth of the
winter wheat area that will be harv-
ested Ia the United States this year.
The average condition now, at the
beginning OF harvest. is 76.6. based
on foo as the standard. This is a
decline OF 4.e per cent since the re-
port Issued May 1. but Is lie per cent
higher than the governments report
of June /. While the prospects for
wheat we're improved or maintained
in quite a number of counties since
the preceding report. especially in the
eastern counties, there was marked
falling off In many OF the north
western counties. Depreciation was
caused principally by dry surface
soil. the general soaking rains after
ward having come too late.
The number OF acres to be harves-
ted in this county Is 1898 and will
average probably So per cent.
Corn condition is so per cont OF
perfect.
