Mrs T. B. Hiskey, formerly of this
city but now of Sterling, Colo, is here
this week visiting with Mrs A. j.
EIlermeyer and other friends Mr.

Land office for several years while
it was located here.
J. w Rauch from the southeast
part of the county, passed through
Wa-Keeney today on his way to Hays.
He was accompanied by his niece,
Mrs. Clark Foster and child, of F't-
Collins, Colo, who will visit other
relatives at Hays.
L. G. Johnson and daughter, Mrs.
W. E. Dillinger, were called Excelsior
Springs, Mo, last week on account
| of the serious illness of Mrs. Johnson
Word is received each day that there
is a gradual failing in her condition
and the report of her death is NOM
entarily expected. She has been in an
| unconscious condition for the last
week.
A letter was received this morning
from Oscar Cardwe1I of the Cardwel1
| Root, Foraker & Stockda1e associates
| who have erected the derrick and are
| interested in drilling for oil north of
| CoIlyer, that business has detained
| him in Texas, and that he and his as
| sociates are doing their best to secure
| the fifteen inch casing for the well
| and that he believes they will be able
! to secure it this week. His letter in
dicates that the smaller casing has
| been secured as he says that the drill
ers have been secured and that if the
f1arger casing cannot be secured they
contemplate taking a long chance if
| the solid formation will stand it, and
will drill down the first five hundred
feet without casing. After five hun
dred feet smaller size is used and
if the earth will not cave in until the
smaller size can be used, then the
| larger casing will not be necessary.
The chances seem good that drilling
will soon be commenced.
Next Wednesday night, May 5th,
| the Garden Theatre will again present
Mary Pickford inSSDaddy Long Legs"
Last December when the show was
put here it was avery stormy
night and only a few were able to
| see it, SO by urgent request we are
enabled to again get the film for
| O.
Webster's book Daddy Long Legs and
it is enjoyed by both young and old,
and Mary Pickford, the highest priced
movie star, has made the play
famous; it is especially delightful for
| children and as thoroughly enjoyed
| by the grown ups. The usual price
for this high class picture is SIS,
| cents, but next Wednesday evening
the prices will be 2O-cents for child
rem under II years of age, and 80
cents for adults, an unusually attrac-
/ tive price for so universally a talked
/ of and admired film by the general
public Two shows-7:3O and 9:15

i Editor Snyder, of the Ellis Head
lights regrets that he is compelled to
i publish ten pages for his paper be-
cause 1t takes much print paper
and print paper is hard to get. The
World is up against the same prop
osltIon every once in awhile and
, could be up against it almost every
week if it encouraged large adver-
, tisements- The World condenses
, everything possible, leaves out the
hand We ordered paper last October
at $500 per hundred and last Thurs
day put in order for like amount,
the best figure we could get was
eleven cents per pound and the Kan
; City Paper House writes back that
miscellaneous stuff and publishes the
local news and correspondence only,
in order to save paper We have not
, been really short on paper since one
issue last December, but it is taking
a deal of money to keep a stock on
they have no print paper in the house
