The institute had headquarters at the city fcal', a fine brick buildine built and owned by the city, and centrally located. The display of grain, vegetable and fruit was one of the finest we ever saw. The display of corn was especially fine.

A num-be of stalks from Howard Hester's farm were sixteen feet high, with ears in proportion. A beet on one of the tables weighed fifty pounds. These displays were of a character to impress an observer with the idea that they were the result of up-to-date culture, orked out on very productive soil. Mrs. Daugherty, a Klncaid lady, had a notable display of fruits, canned goods which included hundreds of items.

The same exhibit won fifth place at the state fair at Topeka, this year. The Domestic Science department indicated an abundance of good cooks in the vicinity of Kincaid. There were, flue exhibits of cutioa of a nriscellacous cbaiacter, school work and other things that added to the interest of the place. The poultry show outside the bail showed all ths popular varieties. Prof.

Crabtree and Miss Barnes, of the Agricultural College, Manhattan, were present through the three days session, delivered a series of lectures at one of the churches, to large and interested audiences. Perhaps the most interesting event of the InsMtute was the parade, Saturday afternoon, of horses, mnles, Jacks and colts. We are informed that there were about 125 entrys in these classes. The parade was seven blocks long, and showed splendid specimens in all three classes. Mr.

Biyles, of Blue Mound, took first on a splendid imported bay horse, and Bob Saunders, of Lone Elm, 4 fv "econd on another fine stallion, Mayor Sam Irwin seemed to be master of ceremoies, and was ably assisted by the leading business men of the town and farmers of the vicinity. These Farmers' Institutes have come to stay, and there is going to be an effort made to bring the prize winners together in a county institute here in Qarnett. Dr. Milllgan is looking ihat up, and it ooght to succeed. There was a large display of county candidates in all classes of offices, on I the ground, but the management lected to get them in the parade, aad so lost an interesting feature There was a big crowd every day, especially in the afternoons, aad the farms were, deserted for miles around.

Sealed bide were received to build an acquarium in the city park, but not opened, for the reason that the council decided the specifications were not complete.

Representatives of Speltzer of New York, Morrison of Kansas City, and Weil, Roth Co Chicago, were present, and sub mkted bids for the purchase of the bonds to be issued by the city to con struct the sewer system for Garnett. The bids were considered, ana the following resolution passed: RESOLUTION. Resolved, by the mayor and coundil of the city of Garnett, Kansas, that the proposition of Well, Roth of Chicago, lll.nois, to purchase im provement bonds of the city of Gar nett, in the sum of $30,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary to pay the cost of sewers in said city, run ning for ten ears, and bearing in terest at the rate or six per cent per annum, and payable in equal install meuts, ror a premium or one per cent; and to purchase $20,000 of tm provement bonds dae in twenty years from date of bonds, and bear ing interest at the rate or nve per cent per annium, payable semi-annu allv, at par, and a premium of $5 00 allowing said Weil, Roth Co. $600 for attorney's fees, and expense of prepalrlng bonds, be accepted, said improvement bonds for 820,000 to be dated Nov.

1, 1910, and said other bonds to be dated when Issued. This resolution was passed on mo tion of McKisson, seconded by Pat nam. On motion the council adjourned to Oct. 6th at p. m.

This session or the council was a busy one, and lasted until twelve o'clock, and the different bids for the bonds were thoroughly aoallzed, and tli 9 best bid, on a basis of 20 year bonds, accepted. The representative of the bond company remained over until today, and took back with him all the proceedings necessary for the company's attorneys to pass on the legality of the lseue. The money will be ready for the city as soon as the papers are approved. The city may consider Itself fortuu ate in substantially negotiating the 20 year bonus at 5 per cent, at this time. The ten year bond, payable in Instalments, are less desirable than straight twenty year bonds, and so 6 per cent is a good rate for them.

It Is not thought that it will be necessary to issue more than half of the $33,000, ai many property owners will pay for their sewers la cash, a soon as tbe work is done by he con tractors. on toe whole, we think we cai: fairly say that tbe preliminary work is about all donp, and thn money in sight for the Bewer syilem, complete enough to afford equal benefits to all pares ot the city. The contractors, Robertson Johnson, are on the ground, and ready to begin work, and with ordl nary weather, during the next three conths, Gsruett's sewer ft stem will be pretty near completed by January 1,1911. Miss Emma Swallow went to Pitts barg yesterday, to visit her niece I Mrs. Etbel Taylor and family.

Looking Out for Students' Health.

Miss Hallie Nichols' solo, "With Verdure Clad," from Haden's "Creation," was a very pleasing introduction, aud was happily and fittingly referred to by the lecturer. Tte central thought of the lecture wis that men Is an ail-round, threefold creature, with a moral, social and Intellectual nature; that it is not enough that a man be great intellectually, or stand high socially; that many who have achieved valor on the battle field and in literature and art have trailed manhood in the dust and finished life In diBgrace because they, themselves, were steeped in crime and sin and shame. He drew a graphic picture of the difference between the man immersed with the thought of self -aggrandizement and the man whose conception of true manhood includes a high regard for the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount. Withont ideals, men wander aim lessly and hopelessly and unsuccess- ully. They go down iu the storm.

He said the churcn is one of man's best friends, seeking always to lure him to the finest and best, appealing to every part of his nature, with a remedy for every hurt. It was not a "funny" lecture, nor perhaps as catchy and easy to follow as some, but It left a fine Impression on those who heard it, making all glad for the highway to an ideal manhood.
