After Majors. It appears that it is the women that have started the ball to rolling against the actions of County Attorney Majors and it is those of the drinking class that are kicking. From what information can be gathered, it seems that joints are allowed to run in the north part of the county, but the women, as has been their habit, are uo longer allowed to "rush the can," and'irconsKiuencH, have waitedSon tne county attorney to find out why the men are allowed booze aud not the women, and are making it warm for the official. It is also reported that Assistant Attorney Dunbar, Was let out on account of his too close watch on the joint We hope this is not true. It is reported that this vacancy will be filled by Attorney Scrjmner of patrons, for each have an electric fan, while in the dry goods stores, most of them were too warm and close to think of what you wanted or stay long enough to buy all you had noted Don't forget to be thoughtful of the horses and mules in the hayfield.

This hot weather will make them very easy to over heat. The school house will soon be finished and school- will begin the secoud Monday in so don't forget to have the children ready. We see that Crawdad of the Galena paper, advises country correspondents to write of what is going to happen, not what has been. What trouble we might get into. Suppose1 we had stated that the stork was going to leave two girls whore the boys were welcomed or that one of our farmers was going to cultivate his corn with a "Jenny Lind" cultivator when actually it was an old-fashioned double shovel, preceeded by the scythe.

LIABILITIES Capital 825,000.00 Circulation 25,000.00 Surplus 4,759.07 Deposits 114.382.18 .169,141.25 above statement is correct. T. F.COLE, Cashier ors have purchased the Catholic church and lot on Sheridan street, and will over haul and repair the building for a school room for the colored children. The patrons of the colored school heartily favor this idea and over 95 per cent of them signed a petition endorsing the act of the school board in separating the two schools. This will relieve the strain for a time, as the school buildings have been so crowded that justice could not be given the attendants No Game Sunday.

The ball game scheduled for last Sunday, did not come off owing to the failure of the Scammon team to get here. The 2:10 train was about three hours off, but the, meteor came in about time the former train was due, and the Scammon boys could have come on that train had they not wanted an excuse. That is a team that does not like defeat, and they knew they had something to do if they came here. Some Heat Last Friday is reported as being the warmest day of the year thus far. The themometer ranged right round the 100 mark all day, and climbed as high as the 102 mark in the shade in the middle of the day.

Harvesters and hay-makers worked hard however, arid no casualities were reported, although several came near being overheated. It was extremely hard on the poor horses, and many that were not properly looked after gave out. Base Ball Sunday. Galena's famous Firemen's base ball team will visit Baxter Sunday, and will endeavor to lay it all over the Baxter team, but as it is the intention of the local team to win the laurels, there will no doubt be an interesting game. Galena has only been defeated by Miami this year, and as Baxter has not met defeat, there will be something doing.

There will be a large crowd at the park Sunday, and as the game will be called at 2:30, there will be a large crowd from adjoining towns. Severe Case of Hay Fever. The members of the Kansas Hay company, consisting of R. R. Heap, W.

T. Apple and W. M. Smith of this city, have a severe case of hay fever, in fact they are shipping from three to seven cars of choice hay every day to various points over the United States, and have orders ahead for hundreds of cars, but are able to supply the demand. John Marahall Here.

It is said that at some of the places where liquid refreshments are dealt out tue proprietors hurriedly closed up out of respect to Mr. Marshall. Weir The deal for the Mission mine, which has been pendiii? for some time was closed Monday of this week and this valuable property is now owned by the Kansas City Quapaw Mining company, a closed corporation, consequently no stock for sale.

Within the next ten days work will begin on the construction of a new 400-ton mill, and the meantime the old mill will be kept in operation until the new mill is ready to begin running. The Mission is given up to be the richest mine in the mining district south of us, but has never had an opportunity to get its full quoto of ore on the market, having been handicapped in various ways, but now it will soon be classed among the strongest and best producers Ray Jones Dead.
