BUSINESS CHANGE.

A change of business which has
been brewing for some time was con-
sumated this week, whereby Price
Bondurant becomes the owner of the
hardware and stove end of the Fred
Hemker institution, the lather continr
uing the buggy end of the business.
1t will be a week or two before Mr..
Bondurant takes charge, there being
some changes necessary in the build
ing besides invoicing, etc. When all
is ready the Bondurant stock will be
removed to the Miller building, Occu-
pied by Hemker.
Fred Hemker began business here
a few years ago as a partner OF his
father-iwlaw, F. H. MilAer. He has
conducted a clean establishment, has
prospered, and is retiring from the
store with the best wishes Of his for
mer customers, who will doubtless
occasionally be calling on him for a
buggy.
Price Rondurant came here about
two years ago and opened a little es-
tablishmeut on Broadway, almost out
Of sight of business. But by dnt of
hard work, attention to business and
the proper treatment of those who
had business with him, he has built
up a fine trade. His many friends
will be pleased to see him continue
to grow IN the new quarters.

among the members of the Modern
Woodman of America, which society
has a very strong numerical standing
in this locality, as to what the raise
in rates made by the special session
of the Head Camp at Chicago last
week will amount to. The rates are
made to a certain extent TO conform
to the Mobile bill, drawn by the state
insurance commissioners. Although
the Kansas delegation at the meeting
stood sOEdly against the raise, the
talk Of secession in the daily press
is not well founded. The vote on the
proposition was 460 for to 3O7 against
