morning was a model morning. M. Ham was down from Hiawatha Saturday, The first snow of the season fell last Friday night. John Atwood and brother, of Everest were in Horton Saturday. Will Hayner, of Hiawatha, was in Horton Friday afternoon.

Billy Souder is off' duty this week on account of a sprained ankle. Geo. Andrews and Ed Lyons were over from Everest yesterday. Attention is called to the change in Deutsch Bro's ad in this issue. Will Yerian is now clerk in one of the large clothing stores of Kansas City.

There is to be a game of foot ball at Hiawatha today. St. Joseph vs. Hiawatha. The senool children are enjoying a week's vacation, there being no school this week.

The First National Bank has so.nething new to say to COMMERCIAL readers this week, Holmes Haviland went over near Whiting Monday 1 to drive the rabbits into their holes. Dr. Bennett Winsor came down from Omaha Tuesday to spend Thanksgiving with his parents. Horton will soon have a foot ball team that will show the neighboring towns "a warm time." Mrs. Dan Goin, colored, died at her home north of town Thursday and was buried in the Horton cemetery Saturday.

Union Thanksgiving seryices will be held at the Free Baptist church at 10:30 a. m. today, conducted by Rev. E. G.

Boyer. DR. BARTON PITTS, Eye and Ear Spec ialist, out of town consultations and correspondence solicited, Office 613 Francis Street, St. Joseph, Mo. R.

P. Stout, who was kicked by a horse some three or four weeks ago, has suffered severely, and a surgical operation was necessary to save his life. A set of beads with cross was found and left at this office. They are evidently the property of a Catholic. Owner may have same by paying 25c for this notice.

The Horton Cantons, 0. 0. have secured Slaton's famous Tennesseans, for one of their popular entertainments at the Odd Fellow's hall, Dec. 4. Admission 35 cents.

The richest man in Lexington, recently died, made his money out of hemp. The feliows who stretched it with the aid of their respective sheriff's all died poor. Mr. Moody calculates that of the people in the United States, 25,000,000 go to church and 40,000,000 do not. He should explain what the other 000 do on Sunday.

-K. C. Times. If you are not a subscriber to the COMMERCIAL, and will come in now with your $1.50, we will date your payment up to Jan, 1st, 1808. Here is an opportunity to gain a few weeks.

A man was noticed in Horton this week, who introduced a new fad in wearing comic buttons. He wore a button on the front of his cap which says: "If you love me smile." Where is the fool-killer? We haven't a chromo or Christmas present to give away with each copy of the COMMERCIAL as an inducement to subscribe, but we will turnish you with one of the newsiest and neatest printed papers in the county. Comedians and ball players seem to find it no difficult matter to gain the affection of some of the Horton girls, There are a few girls in town who will accompany any one of either class who gives them a pleasant smile. Harve Ryherd sold his home farm Que day last week to a inan named Greer. Harve will move back to his old homestead one mile west of the Stansburger place.

Mr. Ryherd will shave to farm on a small scale now as he has only five quarters Everest Enterprise. The COMMERCIAL notices that a carpenter named Peter Hill was shot and kitled by a man named Leroy Quimby, at a little town northeast of Falls City, for being too intimate with the wife of the latter. Can this be the Peter Hill who left Horton a couple years ago with a woman other than his wife? This Hill was a carpenter, too. Our old friend Jake Winterscheidt, has engaged in the grain and coal business at Germantown, the new station northwest of Horton.

Jake will surely make a success of the business, as he enjoys the confidence and esteem of all his neighbors. The COMMERCIAL has had business dealings with Mr. Winterscheidt for the past eight years, and always found him straight up and down. bushels of corn in ear at once. T.

J. BEALL, The cigarette smoking, patent leather shod villain is said to be disappearing from the stage. It is all due to the bicycle, of course. The court last week appointed the editor of the Ashland Clapper to defend a cattle thief, whereupon the culprit immediately entered a plea of gulty. Editor Guy Stoddard of the Muscotah Record, was in Hortoa Saturday, to see if our town has any prettier girls than the village on the south, and incidentally to look after delinquent subscribers.

Charley Streeter was with him, W. HI. Steele few words of wisdom for COMMERCIAL readers this week. Without question Mr. Steele carries a stock of goods that would be creditable to any store in Kansas City.

There is no use going out of town to buy Christmas goods this year. Is it any wonder that the non-advertiser, the non-pushing merchant finds trade coming his way very slowly, if at all, when his competitor is bending all his energy for business and availing himself of the power of advertising from week to week through the columns of the COMMERCIAL, W. E. McCandless, the Pioneer Grocer, has something to say to COMMERCIAL readers this week. Mac came here with the town, and has been doing business at the old stand for ten consecutive years.

Fie enjoys the confidence of the trade, as well as a constantly increasing business. Mrs. J. L. Gates was down from Willis last Friday, taking advantage of some of the bargains offered by Horton merchants.

The COMMERCIAL acknowledges a call from her. Mrs. Gates was once a typo, naving served live years at the business, She is the COMMERCIAL correspondent from Willis, The opening session of the Daughetrs of Rebekah and the grand lodge of Illinois Odd Fellows at Spriugfleld, last week, was sadly interrupted by the sudden death of Mrs. Mary B. Stevens, of Yale, chaplain of the grand lodge.

She had just commenced her prayer and said "Our Father" when she dropped to the floor and expired of heart disease. Following are the names of the Horton Foot Ball Team, recently organized. The list printed last week was not correct aud the boys desire to have it thus corrected: Ed Sou back, Frank Lawson--R. half back. Fred Brown -L.

half back, Harry Thompson -center rush. Chas. Granger right end. Mike Murray--left end. Tom Bickett-right guard.

Ralph Hayes--left guard. Harvey Smith--left tackle. Grey Smith-right tackle. Ben Ballard--quarter back. Effingham has a big church man who apparently makes it a business to get people to go on his note and let them pay it and yet he is counted all right because he can pray.

We know a man who was fired as a teacher in a Sunday school because he was not a professor of religion, and a professor was put in who not only did not pay his bills, but laughed at you when you urged him to pay them. Which was the best -Effingham New Leaf. Yes, and the COMMERCIAL knows an old whelp in Horton who occupies a prominent corner in one of the leading churches every Sunday and looks wise and says after every forcible sentence uttered by the preacher. He is a professional dead beat, and does nothing but run about putting his nose in the business of people who are trying to make an honest living, and condemning men who are far above him in morals and good citizenship. Such is the unlimited gall of hypocrites, but they will never be of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Gibson to Illustrate Dickens, C. D. Gibsor and Edward W. Bok were chatting together in the former's studio one day, when the editor of The Ladies' Home Journall said: don't you drop the American girl, Gibson and try something entirely is there new?" asked Gibson. "Illustrate Dickens," laconically answered the editor.

Illustrate Dickens!" repeated Gibson. "Why, man alive Just then the artist's mother came into the studio. "Mother," he said, "what have I always told you I would rather do in the way of illustration than anything else?" I don't know, Dana, unless is to illustrate Dickens." "Exactly, and Bok walks in just now and asks me to do it." Gibson went to Europe on his wedding trip and remained in London for six months. There he worked away his Dickens sketches. Upon his return a few weeks ago he delivered the first drawings of the series to The Ladies' Home Journal, and the initial one will be printed in the Christmas issue.

The finished drawings are to be remarkable portrayals. The characters chosen Pickwick; Pecksniff and his two daughters; David Coppertield; Dick Swivellering and The Marchioness; Otd Scrooge, from "A Christmas Caleb Plummer and his blind daughters, and other characters from Dickens. The Jourual will present the entire series during 1897. Atchison County Farmers Don't Countenance Theives. James A.

Smythe was arrested near Shannon last Saturday, by members of the Lancaster lodge of the Atchison County Protective association, on a charge of stealing a single harness from a farmer named Nettleton, hiving northwest of Lancaster. Later developments indicate that Smythe is wanted at Omaha, and the arrest may turn out to be one of such importance as to reflect credit upon the Lancaster lodge. Smythe is about 33 years of age, and says he is from Boone, Iowa; that he was educated for a lawyer; that he parchased the harness, in question for 82 of a man be met on Saturday m20rl ing. When arrested Smythe was driving a black horse to a comparatively new Concord buggy, with rubber tires, and was leading a fine sorrel horse. The sorrel horse gave evidence of hard driving, while the black horse was comparatively fresh.

The suspicions of the Lancaster people were aroused, and they wired to Hiawatha to asertain If such an outfit was missing from that place. In reply the Hiawatha authorities forwarded a telegram from Omaha asking the detention of a man and property answering a description of Smythe and his rather swell outfit. Sheriff Hartman was then notifled, and he ordered the prisoner taken to Atchison at once, DON'T FOOL HERE George W. G. Ferris, the and constructor of the "Ferris wheel'? at the World's Fair, died in Mercy Pitrsburg, Sunday, it is believ.

ed, of the American disease overwork. Mr. Ferris was not of the class of natural and self-taught mechanics to whom it is usual to attribute the construction of mechanical novelties and marvels, but belonged to the class of modern and thorough instructed artisans. He was a graduate of the Renssalaer Polytechnic institute, with high honors, in 1856. His first active work was in responsible position with the Louisville Bridge company, and his specialty was the examination of structural work for bridges and similar constructions.

He brought to the building of the Ferris wheel" a perfect knowledge of materials, and made no mistakes. The "Ferris is destined to be repeated at all the great world exhibitions which may be held in a long time. The original should be remembered the product of the intelligence and courage of an American mechanic. Little Hattie Streeter died at her home Nov. 10th, aged seven years, eight months and twenty- four days.

"We learned with deep sorrow of the great loss that has come to you. Our hearts are heavy and our most heartfelt sympathy is yours in this time of suffering. Hattie was very dear to all of us, and especially so to me; she was so bright and sunshiny in manner, and so ready to help wherever she could that she won her way tor my heart very quickly. Words mean so little at a time like this, but we send ours freighted with love and sympathy and trust that they may be even a little comfort to you, because you will learn through them of our love for Hattie, and of our sorrow over the loss. May God bless and comfort you as only He can is the prayer of one mother's heart for you." With love and sympathy, LAURA E.

The holiday issue of the Staudard Designer is an unusully bright and interesting number, brim full of all things pertaining to the Christmas season. If any of the friends and relatives of its many readers are minus a gift when Christmas morning dawns it will not be the fault of the Designer, for it gives directions and hints regarding presents for everyone, from the baby to the grandmother, not forgetting by any means the bicyclist. A charming little holiday comedy suitable for young people 18 one of the pleasant things to be found in its pages, and the different departments of art, literature. millinery, toilet, cookery, etc. are all devoted, more or less, to the ruling time of year.

A sensonable article on furs will undoubtedly be appreciated, and the pages stevoled to fashions appropriately illustrated, will probably be the most interesting ones in the magazine to womankind. Commencwith this Issue. the Standard Designer has lower-t its subscription price to 85 cents a ver: its enormous circulation warrant thus act of generosity towards the hat the lowering of the price by no means is to be construed as a lowering of its standard of merit, as the present number gives ample I evidence.

The Baptists are holding a series of meetings at this place. There seems to be plenty of the "raw material" to work on. Miss Ella Robinson was a Hiawatha visitor the first of the week.
