MASONIC LODGE OF SORROW

The Lodge of Sorrow" conducted
Tuesday night by the Wa-Keeney
Masonic lodge in memory of Dr. Glen
e. Haughey, Edmund E. and Day D.
Moore, was well attended and success
fully conducted. The solemn cere-
mony in honor of the departed breth-
rem is very impressive. The music was
furnished by a double quartette of
Wa-Keeney young people and Miss
Hardman as pianist. All were form
er associates of the Moore brothers.
The selections were not only very ap-
propriate but were exceptionally well
rendered. The service flag hanging In
the lodge room was explained by
Judge A. s. Peacock who explained
the arrangement of the three gold
stars and stated that two of the boys
had died in active service overseas
while the third, DIR. G.. E. Haughey,
died on this side of the water while
he was being prepared for overseas
service. The eulogium was delivered
by the Rev. J. C. Everett, of Paola,
Kansas, formerly of this city and a
close friend of the Moore brothers
His address was very interesting and
in it he directed his heares to the
higher and better, and brighter and
more hopeful things of life. This form
of lodge service is unusual and sell
dom witnessed by the members of the
fraternity but it is none the less APP
Tpropriate and impressive =

LOST ONE BUT TOOK ANOTHER

Two base ball games were played
by the Wa-Keeney team during the
last week and in them they were for
tunate enough to break even in losing
one and in winning another. The game
played Sunday afternoon the local
diamond against the Oakley team re-
suited in a score of to in favor of
Oakley. This was closely contest
ed game and would likely have been.
won by the home team had not an ac-
cident happened to one of our boys
which put him out of the playing and
it was necessary to put strange man
in his place. The lineup for the Sun
day game was Mason, pitcher; Bundy,
catcher; Keraus, short stop; Gibson,
1st base; Wright, End base; Nies1ey,
3rd base; Heyl, left field; Rinker, cen
ter field; Holcomb, right field.
Wednesday afternoon the home
played against the Ness City team at
the home coming celebration. This
was a more favorable game to the
home team and they brought home
the honors and purse. The score was
six to four. Mason pitched for six
innings and the game was finished by
Little, of Emporia college. Both of
the boys did good work but Little
showed the most speed and control.
The boys were shifted little from
the regular lineup and Krhut was
worked on third base and Anderson in
right field

TAKEN SUDDENLY BY DEATH

The uncertainty of life was aptly
illus trated Sunday morning when the
word was circulated about the city
that A. J. Wineburner had died about
8 o'clock that morning. The day be-
fore he had been about his usual ayo-
cations but during the night he was
taken i'll and until death came he suf-
fered a great deal of pain. Death
was due to poisoning but not inten-
tionaI1y administered.
Andrew j. Wineburner was born
August 8, 1865, in Indiana where he
grew to manhood and where he was
united in marriage with Miss Mary

them four children were born two of.

were conducted Tuesday afternoon

Every succeeding year adds to the
number and variety of birds that may

ever, this year there seems to be an

here but elsewhere, and they were
unusually late in coming. We have
one in our neighborhood whose favor

vane, and he is the only one we have

song of the brown thrasher for that

less observer may have thought the

FIRST we observed this year was seen
May 27, about 20 days later than
usual. There are other sounds that
may be mistaken for the warning of
the ratt1er, but the real rattler is un-
mistakable, and so while the song of
the thrasher may be mistaken for that
of Cousin Mocker, the song of the
mocker is unlike any other thing on
earth. Both mocker and thrasher like
perches, but the mocker will ego
straight up'' and come down in the
same spot-which the thresher does
not do; also the mocker will perch
on chimney tops and sings almost all

The Fourth of July celebration in

and all the citizens of the surrounding
territory are expected to spend the
day in Wa-Keeney. An admission fee
to the grounds will be charged but no
one wants to get the idea that the
celebration will be money-grabbing
affair and that the investor will not
get his money back. Close to one
thousand dollars is to be spent on the
celebration in the way of fire works,
day and night, and prizes and pre-.
miums. 1t is the intention of the COM
mittees to have everything in ship
shape and to carry out the program
on time and the only think which viii
hinder in the execution of the program
will be bad weather. Many interest
ing contests are to take place in
which the boys and girls of the county
will be the contestants The automo-
bile races are going to be exciting
features and viii, alone, be worth the
price of admission. The base ball
game will be contest between Wa
Keeney and Col1yer teams and aside
from being lively game will be inter

thing to do is to come to Wa-Keeney
