MANHATTAN ENTERPRISE SE VOLUME I. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1907. PUBLISHED WEEKLY NUMBER 30 A PIONEER KANSAN GONE Joseph Rhodes Passes Away at the Age of 92 Years. Joseph Rhodes, one of the oldest residents in this vicinity, died at 3 o'clock Friday morning at the home of his son, John Rhodes in St. George.

For years he had been suffering from Bright's disease but was confined to his bed only two days. He was unconscious the greater part of this time and told his son when he went to bed Tuesday night that it was for the last time. Joseph Rhodes was born May 14, 1815, at Leeds, England. He came to Canada with his parents at the age of twenty years and in May, 1840, was married in Toronto, Canada, to Elizabeth Baker. Mr.

Rhodes drove to Chicago with a team of oxen in 1845 and there he opened Chicago's first meat market. He leased a tract of swamp land there for 99 years and that same ground now the heart of Chicago but Mr. Rhodes sold his lease many years ago. From Illinois the deceased came to Russell, in February, 1878, and six years later he located in Riley county. Mr.

Rhodes was a trustworthy citizen and a man of more than ordinary intelligence. He took an active interest in the growth and welfare of the city and was a member of the city council about twelve years ago. He was greatly interested in religious work and was a co-worker with Francis Murphy, the noted temperance lecturer, for some time. Seven children survive Mr. Rhodes and all were here to attend the funeral services which were conducted by Rev.

Bright at 2 o'clock Sunday after-, noon from the Methodist church. The children are Wm. B. Rhodes, Manhattan, George Rhodes, Rich Hill, Mrs. Mary Ambrose, Fayetteville, Mrs.

Medical Society Will Meet. The Riley County Medical Society will hold their regular monthly in 1 Dr. Colt Cave's office Tuesday evening, December 3. The following papers will be read: Dr. E.

J. Moffitt; "Appendicitis" Dr. Geo. H. Litsinger; "Paper," Dr.

C. A. Roberts. This is the last meeting of the society before the meeting of the Golden Belt Medical Society which convenes here in January. Stay In the Game.

R. G. McAninch of Manhattan, who had in yesterday a carload of lambs, the first shipment of this year's feeding, thinks sheepmen have no reason to worry. Mr. McAninch says that sheep men have been making big profits, and even if the present car does not prove as good as last year, they will still be ahead.

"These lambs sold well on the market and made me some money," said Mr. McAninch. "People have been telling us all along for several years that we have been paying too much for our feeding lambs. At the same time they were profitable. No man is wise enough to tell just the time to quit feeding any kind of live stock, or when to begin.

A whole lot of them make guesses, and occasionally guess right. In feeding sheep or cattle there is but one safe way, it seems to me, and that is to keep right on feeding one year with another, and stay in the game. Sheepmen stand just as good a show to make money as cattle feeders." -Drovers Telegram.

The Aggie second team was defeated by the K. U. second team Saturday by a score of 25 to 0. The Aggies started out strong and in the first few minutes of play rushed the ball to K. 10 yard line, but were unable to score.

After that the game was all K. U. A poor referee was the cause of much contention especially on the side lines The Play Last Night. Quincy Adams Sawyer was greeted by a large and appreciative audience at Wareham's opera house last night. The play was the more widely advertised than any other that has made the 'town this season, and it came right up to advance notices.

The story is a simple one told of simple people--no desperate tions, no villians, no gunpowder climaxes- -but just a natural happening of events in which comedy and tragedy were intermingled with splendid effect. The plot was not deep, and it only required one death to bring it to the natural conclusion. The specialties were far above the average--among other things there being a male quartette that could really sing. For Miss Powers.
