Fly -wheel to Atoms. Saturday a man' named Williams from Troy, Kansas who was here prepared to enter the automobile races for the fair met with an accident to himself, some others also and put his machine out of business. He was testing his carburator and was running the engine with terrible speed when the fly-wheel flew to pieces, one section of it striking him, breaking his leg; and the other piece struck his partner painfully lacerating his leg; a piece struck Pete Buser a side-long glance in the ribs with sufficient force to tear his coat badly and did hurt his side some; and a piece flew past Judge R. M. Emery's ear but fortunately missed him.

The big fair is on. Tuesday and Wednesday -the first two days- -have more than filled the expectations of the officials of the association. The flying machine, the trotting ostrich, the ball games, the high class running, trotting and pacing races are fully up to anything in this part of the country. Tuesday the farmer's trot was won by DeRago, with second money to Maid and third to Prince of Baileyville The five-eights mile dash was won by Blue, with second money to Caverone, and third to Wm. Leslie.

Wednesday races include a 2:35 trot, purse $500 00, and 2:19 pace, purse $500 00. Also two other races. Thursday and Friday will witness some of the best races both trotting and pacing and will end with the 2:12 pace for the $1,000.00 purse. Motorcycle and auto races and track meet Friday morning, steeple chase and political speaking every day are other attractions. On the grounds are tents labeled.

"Ladies Cottage," "Votes for Women," besides a number of eating shacks and special booths for different kind amusements. The displays include that of the Seneca brick plant, hardware and implements by the hardware firms, including gasoline engines and cream separators; hogs by Moser Fitzwater, Henry Kramer, and others. Sheep, cattle and hogs have their place in the general display. The best individual display of stuck i is that of Jerome McQuaid, who has entered a team of draft mules, a two year old mule, a team of four year old Clydesdales and Pole Angus and Durham cattle. Altogether Mr.

McQuaid has twenty-seven head of stock entered William Strohmger has Percheron two year old colt weighing 1500 pounds which is a fine product. Joseph Bergmann has on the grounds a three year old Percheron imported horse weighing 1965. Both of these horses are extra fine specimens of the breed. In one place is a grand display of twentyone entries of potatoes. Ag we go to press there are other and more attractions being taken to the grounds and the special trains are bringing in the crowds.

Thursday and Friday will be great days for the fair with record breaking crowds, and exhibits and attractions never excelled in this part of the country. The management of the fair is well pleased with the outlook at the time we go to press. Back in the Harness. Three years ago J. O.

Newton quit farming and threshing. He sold out and came to Seneca. For more than thirty years he had followed the life of the farmer and thresher of crops in season. After a rest and putting in time at his new home he felt that he wanted to get out among the old neighbors. He bought a new threshing outfit and started.

In time he worked out of a job in the old neighborhood and pulled off south, and landed in the country south and west of Bancroft. The new modern machinery cleaned things up pretty fast, and last week he threshed sixty bushels of oats at William Mohringer's, southwest of Bancroft, in eight minutes. Mr. Newton is never so happy as when he sees the yellow grain going throught the separator. Years of experience put him next to getting the most out of machinery and do the best for the farmer for whom work is done.

Brock, teacher.

G. W. Anderson who has been spending three months on his ranch in Pawnee county, Kansas, hag returned to Seneca. He says the horse disease out there has so seriously crippled farm work that very many farmers have had to give up, and are not sowing anything like the crop they had expected to. The banks will not loan money on horses, fearing the disease, and are contracting their loans, all of which make the year extremely hard on the farmera.

The greater part of the prodret that goes to make up the pretty display in the show window of the Taylor grocery store was raised by Ephraim Long. That corn, the vegetables and all that contributes to its beauty shows the mark of the farmer. Tuesday hemmorrhage of the nose quite perceptibly weakened F. P' Newland before it could be stopped. Wednesday the flow had practicably ceased and no serious results are expected.

Treasurer Figured Close. County Treasurer R. T. Bruner has just made up the statement of taxes assessed and collected following the 1911 assessment. The abstract shows the total collected was $326,714.33, and the amount charged $326,693.28, an overcharge of only $21.05.

This small amount in excess of the amount charged shows how very close Mr. Bruner has figured out the various amounts during the tax collecting season. When one considers the great number of funds to which the money must be disbursed and the number of people who pay only one-half of the taxes in December permitting the second half to run until June, not to say anything about the figuring necessary to determine the discount of two and one-half percent where the full amount of the tax is paid in December the great care and close application to business on the part of Mr. Bruner can be appreciated. Bad Whiskey Tangled 'Em.

Down at the depot a few nights ago a jug of bad whiskey caused a couple young fellows to become tangled up to considerable extent. One of them seemed to get the best of the other SO thoroughly that when the night watch arrived on the scene it was an easy matter to pick him up and take care of him. The other not being satisfied with putting his friend out of the running, landed a heavy one on the person of the said night watch which caused him to see two stars where there oughtn't to been but one. The night watch didn't recover from his surprise in time to get hold of his assailant and at present his whereabouts is unknown. Motor Cars Discontinued.

Next Sunday the motor service on the Grand Island will be discontinued and no train of any sort will take its place. These cars have been quite a convenience to passengers and traveling men, and their absence is quite a calamity. It is hoped the road will see its. way clear to restore the service in the near future. Take a Look At It.

Just take a look at the display window at E. B. Taylor's grocery store. That window will do credit to any display window in any store in any town in any state. The attraction of foliage in which are arranged clusters of grapes, good specimens of pears, peaches still attached to the limb, and the long vines of wild grapes cause the passer-by to stop and admire them.

On the floor of the window is a splendid array of melons, fruits, corn, and plates of grapes, peaches, pears, tastily laid. The work is that of Roy Mathews. Has Accepted Charge. The Rev. A.

A. Moore, formerly of Wisconsin, has accepted the call from the Congregational church of Seneca and will be here November 3rd to conduct the first service. He comes to Seneca well recommended and i is highly educated and consciencious man. John Kerns and daughter Rose, arrived home Saturday night from a ten days' trip to Canon City and Pueblo, Colorado where they visited Mr. 'Kerns' old friend Ben Steinmeier.

For the Man Who Cares $3.50, $4.00 and $5.00 D. J. FIRSTENBERGER SON On the Corner Seneca, Kansas Business Change. Dr. N.

D. Johnson has sold his practice to Dr. J. Rudbeck formerly of Colony, Kansas. Dr.

Johnson has been in Seneca five years and with his very estimable wife have made many friends. He has enjoyed a good business here and his many friends will be sorry that he finds it convenient to change locations. Both Dr. and Mrs. Johnson have been teachers in the Methodist Sunday school and are good and conscientious workers in church.

Their places will be hard to fill. They go from here to Hamilton, Missouri where the doctor has purchased a business. The well wishes of this community follow them to their new home. Dr. J.

Rudbeck who has purchased Dr. Johnson's practice is a physician of twelve years standing. He is a graduate of the Columbia Medical College, class of 1900. He was appointed professor of obstetrics in that school the summer of 1901 and held the position one year, resigning to take the place of physician in St. Margaret's hospital in Kansas City which place he held two years.

He then attended the Chicago Eye and Ear hospital where he took special work in eye, ear, nose and throat, and returned to Kansas City in 1903 where he lost every thing in the flood of that year. He located in Colony, Kansas where he since conducted his business. He came to Seneca well recommended und is thoroughly capable. He is well pleased with the outlook here. He will move his family here as soon as a suitable residence can be obtained.

His offices are the same location as that of Dr. Johnson. Seneca welcomes the doctor and his family to the business and social circles of the city. Fire Department Meeting. The Seneca Fire Department met in regular session in the city council rooms at 8 p.
