The Jack Benjamin troupe, Hays
favorite ''play people, are at the G A.
R. Hall three nights this week, Thurs
day, Friday, and Saturday. Thursday

viii not be standing room. When the

VIM. E. Connelley, Secretary Kansas
State Historical Society, in writing to a
member of the Normal faculty suggests
that it might be feasible have a front
ier celebration at the Fort Hays Norma
School next spring. The Free Press
thinks the idea a good one. In as much
as Hays has not had celebration on the
Fourth of July for several years, why
not combine the two and celebrate the
nations birthday right? Such a cele-
bration would bring 10000 people to
Hays for that day. .
John Howard Payne's beautiful and
always popular song, Home Sweet

It would seem that a city the size of
Hays should receive better treatment
from the railroad There is not another
town west of Kansas City, that receives
a greater amount of freight; no county in
the state raised larger crop of wheat
than Ellis this year, which necessitates
the help of the railroads to take it to
market The Hays Mill & Elevator Co.
ships tons of -four every week. The re-
ceipts including freight and passenger
trrffic, will probably exceed $1,000, per
week, S24, 900 per month; and yet the
citizens of Hays are barred from send
ing a telegraph message after six
O'Clock. Two trains have recently been
taken off, which means delay of TWEEN
ty-four hours in receiving important
mail matter. There is concerted
grumble" from the disgusted people of
Hays, that viii soon be heard at Union
Pacific headquarters. We presume
however, that as the officials of the
road are just now interested IN raising
the passenger tariff, they viii pay but
scant attention to the wishes of the
common herd.
