The Iuka Hustler from Iuka, Kansas • 1

THE IUKA HUSTLER. VOL. 1. No. 43: IUKA, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1910.

$1.00 PER YEAR. Too much Johnson and a sufficiency full of Jeffries is the status of these tin horn gladiators of the prize ring with the American people today, for their work has been entirely too coarse for the lovers of fair play and a square deal to assimilate, as it were. The Johnson -Jeffries stunt will prove a fitting climax to as disgraceful piece of humbuggery as the public has been up again in this record age for humbugs, and it will henceforth stand emblazoned on the scroll of time as the biggest and last fake fight in the history of the American prize ring, for the people have suddenly become tired and nauseated with this class of "horse play" and will direct their entire attention to other channels of sport wherein a real semblance of fairness is maintained. It has been conceded on the part of many and actully believed by them since the signing of articles for this fight, that it was a prearranged affair and at its conclusion would prove a fiasco, and to our way of thinking, their stand has been well taken. We have no objection to the game if it has been played on the square, but when it smirks of fraud so strongly as does this fight, we believe the time is at hand when public sentiment should arise in its might and demand that there be no more prize fights in the United States of Amerida or in Reno.

Doo Much Johnson Picnic An enjoyable picnic was held in George Harrel's grove for mothers and children, and a splendid time was had by all present. The mothers and children that came were: Mrs. Minnie Shives and children. Mrs. Sam Logan children.

Mrs. 'Ed Dibble and children. Mrs. Cora Brooks and children. Mrs.

Maud Paris and children. Mrs. Geo. Harrel and children. Mrs.

Marguerite Sauer and children, Clara Brown, Iva Tregellas, Bertha McGuire, Chester Hudson, Ida Hudson, Marion Paullen, Trella Clark, Thelma Clark, Fontella Clark, Alice McCormick, Florence Helsel, Harry Helsel. A sumptuous dinner was spread on the ground in regular picnic style. In the afternoon ice cream and cake were served, after which a sort of entertainment was given by all. A "Story of the Liberty Bell" was read by Mrs. Sauer, recitations were given by the children, and stories told by some of the mothers.

All departed for home about five o'clock, and hoping that we would again have another such a picnic on the 4th. This is getting to be an annual affair, as this is the third for it. Mothers and children need to get out for an outing, and have chosen this day of all days for it. We will all look forward to the next year with happy longing. -ONE WHO WAS THERE.

Business Pickin' Ulp Business in luka is now gradually, but surely on the increase in every line. Money seems to be becoming more plentiful, and with the corn beginning to tassle, everybody is beginning to take a rosy view of the future, and believe this old world is not so bad after all. No better harvest weather could have been wished for, and the yield is satisfying. Clark Bros. are loading out car of new wheat today.

We wish to speak a good word to the Hustler's home readers in favor of the new furniture firm of Doan, Fitzsimmons Co. This -firm is composed of young, but experienced furniture men, who have exercised the best of judgment in selecting one of the largest and most up to the times stock of furniture ever put upon display in the west. These gentlemen are in a position to meet competition, and one will be amazingly surprised in comparing prices, at the saving to be gained by this comparison, which these gentlemen solicit. Now, just another word about them--they are regular patrons of the Hustler, and we have their order to run their ad until such time as they shall see that it does not pay, and further they have seen fit to patronize us in the job line, something that other institutions of the same line in Pratt have seen fit not to do, although they are seeking our people's trade, as evidenced only last week by scattering their bills througout this section and almost crying for you to come in and spend your money with them, but failing entirely in offering to spend a cent with one of your home institutions. It is a fact that Doan, Fitzsimmons Co.

also want your trade, but the way they go about soliciting it is though the columns of your local paper, which is the only proper way to do, and we ask the friends of this paper to remember this, and if in need of something in this line, give these boys a chance to figure the bill. Do Come Readers He Sot nad "John Nemo, a harvest hand who was assisting F. J. Strothman on the Barney McCann farm, got mad at Mr. Strothman Friday morning and quit his job with the remark: 'I'll give you some trouble for He went to the field, took matches and deliberately set fire to two big ricks of wheat before other hands could get to him and stop his dastardly work.

They phoned for Sheriff Burnett, who happened to have his car out, and he left at once for the field of hostilities. The men worried and retarded the onward march of the criminal until the sheriff got there SO he did not get more than a half mile from the place. Sheriff Burnett put handcuffs on him and brought him to town. He said: 'I set fire to the stacks and I want to plead guilty so I can commence serving time He was told that he must wait for court and his bond was placed at $1,000. He is in jail and will probably get the full limit of the law in the penitentiary." -Today's Pratt Union.

About Guer Harvest in this section is pretty well over with, and we are glad to announce that enough good help was on hand to take care of the grain in good shape. We are aiso glad to announce that every man who came to Iuka looking for harvesting, found just what he was looking for. There were just the right number of men and not one many. ALighest Wages John Henderson was an unwilling philanthropist last Monday. In paying off some of his harvest hands, he lost sight of the fact that he had made purchases for one of them to the amount of $5, and another to the amount of $2, and he gave them checks for the full amount.

John now has the honor of paying the highest wages of the season. 20 Something New at Taylor's We have added to our Dry Goods Department- all wool tailor-made dress -this hot weather means an extra skirt or so we have them in Voile, Panama, Melrose, Mohair, and all the latest styles made--it sizes to fit -at prices to 10E suit everyone.

m. ROBERT A. POTTER, Pastor. A young lady who taught a class of small boys in the Sunday school desired to impress on them the meaning of returning thanks before a meal. Turning to one of the class, whose father was a deacon in the church, she asked him: "William, what is the first thing your father says when he sits down to the table?" 'He says, 'Go slow with the butter, kids; it's 40 cents a replied the youngster.
