WMtHIMMItWHtlUIMIMHIIItMWIWIMWMMenillllHIIWIKHWIMM Farmers Institute. The Horton Farmers' Institute was held last Wednesday and Thursday about a month earlier than customary. This early date caught a large per cent the farmers gathering corn. The exceedingly fine weather was a great temptation for many to to i YOU'LL BE THANKFUL NU-CUT GLASSWARE We recently received from an eastern manufacturer a consignment of glassware called "Nu-Cut Glass." This is possibly the first shipment of this kind of ware that has ever been shown in Horton. Tnis ware can only be distinguished from the high priced cut glass by those who are able to note the difference in quality and workmanship of glassware.

However, the difference in cost varies extensively. We have this kind of 'ware in various size Water Sets, Berry Bowls, Salad and Punch Bowls, Custards, Pickle dishes, Celery trays, Ice Cream Plates, and square and round Bon Bon Dishes. Any of, these items would make very appreciative Christmas Gifts, Now displayed in our north window. THE FAIR STORE JOSEPH X. SMITH.

Come and look. 1 ii, consequently we attendance was not as large as in years past On Thursday there were about 200 present and in the afternoon the Knights of Columbus hall was filled to its seating capacity to hear Mr. Edward K.

Slater, of Chicago, talk of the possibilities of the dairy herd for northeastern Kansas farmers, illustrating his remarks by sliding pictures. Mr. Arnold Martin also gave an illustrated taik, Thursday afternoon, on "Pruning and Spraying the Orchard." After placing the exhibits of grain, etc. Wednesday moraine, the program was opened by Miss Helen Henney with an instrumental solo. Mr.

Arnold Martin of Du Bois, a successful and practical man right from the soil, talked on "Profitable Corn Growing." He gave a history of the development of the ear of corn and had specimens showing its wonderful improvement from the few kernels that once grew in the tassel to the magnificent ear that is now king of cereals. Mr. Robinson, instructor of the agricultural class in the city High schoo', was in attendance, Wednesday, with his class in agriculture. During the noon hour on Wednesday the Women's Auxiliary served to the Institute and their friends a dinner such as only tarmers wives know how to serve. The farmers in town appreciated this and partook of their hospitality.

Mr. L. T. Broaddus played the violin and Mrs. Myrta Loser accompanied him on the piano during the serving of the dinner.

Mr. A. R. Losh, assistant state engineer, gave a very exhaustive talk on "Practical Highway Construction and Administration." Mr. Losh knew his business thoroughly and was "Johnnie on the spot" in answering questions put to him.

He i is a strong advocate of concrete culverts and bridges. We were with him on Friday to inspect several bridges in Atchison county, for which he drew the plans, and it does not take a technical man to see and understand that these concrete structures are cheaper, much better and more permanent than the old style bridge. If we all had the home orchard that E. H. Keller planned out for us, we would surely be next door to the garden of Eden.

It is practicable, too, and within the reach of all. Mrs. Nellie Roberts read an inter esting paper on the "Consolidation of Schools." Many favored the plan if the school would be placed near them, but were very much opposed if it should be placed some miles away. There were 200 ears of corn, seven samples of wheat and four samples of oats in the grain show. M.

L. Crane, who lives on the Peter Berney place, won first on ten and twenty ears, white, and first on oats. Lyal Crane won first prize on wheat, Laurence Crane won first on peck of oats. Clarence Roark won second on ten ears of white corn. David Beard won second prize on twenty ears of white corn.

Robt Waller received first on ten ears of yellow corn, second on twenty ears of yellow corn, and second on a peck of wheat Roy Bechtold received first on ten ears of yellow corn, and first on twenty ears of yellow corn. The judging of grain was done by Arnold Martin of Du Bois, Nebraska. At the business meeting the old officers GSo. W. Jones, president, and Robt.

J.F.BAILEY BALKS 1'olitieal Schlsters Will Discover the Fact that ltrown County Elected a Ulan as Her Representative.

That there is a movement on foot to thwart the will of the people of this state and rob Judge W. H. Thompson of his victory in the senatorial race, can be plainly seen in the following letter received by Mr. Bailey last week Topeka, November 18, 1912, To the Members of the Legislature: You will be called upon to decide for; this state who shall be the U. S.

sena-j tor to succeed Hon. Charles Curtis. This is a serious matter and one which ought not to be detremined without fullest consideration. The standing of the great state of Kansas, the reputation of its Democracy, the interests of the United States government are all involved, and someone of well known and unquestioned ability should be selected. The mere fact that a candidate was named in a primary is not sufficient to satisfy the demand of the public that the person selected measures up to the position in fitness and ability.

As an illustration, the vote at the recent election was not an expression of choice for senator, but rather a means of expressing disapproval by Republicans of the course of Governor Stubbs in forsaking their party and going to another. A candidate for senator whose only claim for the position is that he received the vote of a majority under such circumstances ought not to be controlling. One of the candidates for United States Senator-Wm. H. Thompson is the present judge of one of the district courts of the state of Kansas.

He was elected to that position in November, 1910, taking office in January, 1911. The term for which he was elected will not expire until January 1915. This renders him ineligible at this time to accept any other office of profit or trust under the constitution of this state or of the United States until after Janu-uary 1915. The state constitution, respecting judges, says, Sec. 13 of Art 3.

"The justices of the supreme court and judges of the district court shall, at stated times, receive for their services such renumeration as may be provided by law, which shall not be increased during their respective terms of office: Provided, Such justices or judges shall receive no other fees or prerequisites, nor hold any other office Finest line of NEW CHAIRS of every description for the Holiday Trade and all other kinds of Furniture at Bargain Prices 'til January 1st.

Escha Whittington, who has been absent from school the past week on account of sickness, returned Monday morning. The Agriculture class attended the Farmer's Institute on last Wednesday morning instead of having their regular recitation, Hattie McKeon was absent last week on account of sickness. Quite a number of the High school students attended the Kansas-Missouri game at Lawrence Saturday. Harold Friend who has been sick for the past week, is much better. The grades are practicing for a programme to be given at the opera house soon.

Mr. A. L. Losh of Kansas Agricultural College gave a talk before the assembly Thursday morning. Mr.

Losh has been a teacher in the Philippine Islands and he told some interesting experiences. The chorus is still having one practice a week. Now that they are in tune they wish to keep in tune. Their was a box of hats and 10 pairs of shoes stolen from a car in the yards that was consigned to St. Joseph.

The articles were taken Sunday night. W. E. Archer received a majority of votes for county attorney in Robinson, Hamlin, Fairview, Powhattan and Hiawatha. They did not want to see him leave is probably the reason he did not get the majority in Horton.

This is not an attack upon Judere Thompson, but only to remind the members of the legislature of their great duty and Knowing full well that if you have not been you will be importuned to agree in advance to support some particular candidate, and perhaps someone you know nothing about, we take the liberty of offering the suggestion that no member pledge himself to any candidate until he has had opportunity to meet with the other members of the legislature and confer on the situation and, in the abundance of counsel, decide what is best to be done in the matter of the selection of United States senator. Very respectfully, The Good Government League. Mr.

Bailey's reply to the above letter is, in substance, as follows: The Good Government League, Topeka, Gentlemen: Yours of the 18th at hand and contents noted. In reply will say I signed statement No. 1, agreeing to vote for the and date for United States senator wao received the largest number of votes at the election Nov. 5th, and I meant just what I said and shall vote for W. H.

Thompson, first, last and all the time or until such time as he shall release me. Every member of the legislature that were elected Nov. 5th are in duty bound to support Mr. Thompson, just as much as I am, and if they do not they should not have the respect of a voter in their district. Wh6 are the members of this great "Good Government League?" Why not come out in the open and make your fight against the will of the people? Will you please send me a list of the members of this "Good Gov't League" who are devoting their time and money for the great State of Kansas and the inhabitants thereof, so I can judge what their motives are in trying to de feat Mr.

Thompson. Mr. Thompson is the choice of the people, but I am satisfied he is not the choice of the grafter. Hoping to receive at least a partial list of the names of members of this Great League, also the name of the president, secretary and treasurer, I remain, Yours respectfully, J. F.

Bailey. Dove's Preliminary Trial. William Dove, charged with shooting Harry Cook with intent to kill, had his preliminary hearing before Justice Ayers, onday. He was bound over to the next term of the District Court and his bond placed at $500.00, in default of which he was remanded to the county jail at Hiawatha. He expects to secure bonds in a few days.

F.M. Pearl represented the state and Joseph Waters, of Topeka. appeared for the defendant Harry Cook, theeomaining witness, was unable to attend the trial and it was necessary for the court to go to to hospital to secure his testimony.

Robt. Waller, Sec'y. Baptist Notes. Most of the sick people of the Baptist congregation are now improving. A few new cases reported.

The Deacons and Trustees are busy raising finances for year ending September 30. They report good success in their attempt at an "Every Member Canvass." An unusually large crowd was in attendance at Mt Pleasant last Sunday afternoon. The pastor expects next Sunday to preach on "Leaven in the and at night on "A Challenge to Unbelievers." An unusually pleasant event, planned by Mr. and Mrs. A.

J. Thompson, took place last Sunday. All the old settlers of Kennekuk, and their families, were invited to attend preaching at the Baptist church, and then to spend the rest of the day at the Thompson residence. Fifty-one persons responded to the invitations sent out, many of them bringing well-filled baskets. It is not often one's pleasure to see such varieties of good food.

The afternoon was spent in delightful conversation, interspersed with a large share of first class music, mostly southern melodies. Many expressed a hope for a similar occasion in the near future. Concert at M. H. Church.

The concert given at the Methodist church by Mr. and Mrs. George Raymond Dolf, of New York City, was a rare treat, this being their first appearance in our city. Mrs. Dolf won the admiration and enthusiasm she well deserved.

Mr. Dclf possesses a tenor voice of excellent sweetness of tone. Madame D'Armand, of Kansas City, accompanist and solist, rendered many beautiful selections which were highly appreaciated by all. Horton is especially grateful to Miss Kate Jennings, through whose efTorts the Concert Co. was secured.

It is to be hoped many more entertainments of such excellentquality may be enjoyed by our citizens. MHIMMHMMMMHtaHHMWMMMMemiUMI SPE We will give a 1 0 per cent discount I on all cash purchases until Dec. 1, on the following: elected vice-presidents: P. G. Hartley, Geo.
