Next week according to Hicks is to be the hottest of the season. Dessa, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Sebrell is quite ill. A large number of residents are confined to their homes by sickness.

L. Byers, of Topeka, will preach at the Congregational church to-morrow. Jake Rigler had his head seriously hurt yesterday by getting too close to a threshing machine. A goodly number of school teachers went home last evening, to spend the Sunday with parents. Take one day in the year, if you are an old settler, to celebrate and go to the picnic next Thursday.

A large number of colored people passed through the city last evening on their way from Alabama to Pueblo, Colo. The Mcl'berson and Halstead base ball nines will "play ball" at Halstead, Old Settler's day. They are both strong teams and will make it interesting for the onlookers. Admitting that times were hard under Republican rule, they were no patching to the present. Were only the fellows who voted for "a change" to feel its effects, it would be real enjoyable to laugh at them.

The only way in which you can keep thoroughly posted on the current news, the financial and commercial affairs of the city, is to read THE KANSAN, the paper that eschews palaver and gives only items of interest. Hogs were worth only 34 yesterday; like wheat they have gone Democratic. If the mere fear of free trade has such a depressing effect upon the products of the farm, what would be the result if that policy were to be put in effect? The miners who were left in town yesterday, waited on the mayor pro tem, F. P. Munch, last evening and earnestly requested to be given transportation out of the state.

After due consideration it was decided best to send them along their way rejoicing. If you are the friend of a man, show it by your actions and friendly counsel and sympathy when that man is in trouble Another kind of friendship is worthless. A kick with the bare foot from an avowed friend hurts worse than one with hob-nailed boots from an open enemy. How many of our readers who have been reading and hearing about so many National bank failures have taken the trouble to examine his bills to see if there was a single one on any of the suspended banks. We venture that no one has done 80 for the reason that he knows his bill is good whether the bank fails or not.

Uncle Sam is back of all the National bank money and not a man who has a bill on a busted National bank loses an hour's sleep over it. So much for the wisdom of Republican Eagle. If you are run down and nervous, Magnetic Nervine will restore your health. Sold by Newton Drug Co. 'FIRST STATE CAPITAL, $25,000.00 C.

School Enumeration, The following is the school ennum- eration of the city of Newton for 1893: First 639 Second 387 Third 585 Fourth 414 1975 Halstead Happenings. Independent.

Frank Osborn, deputy bank commissioner, was in the city Monday, to examine the condition of the Halstead bank. He made a thorough examina.

tion of the books, cash and securitles and pronounced the bank in a most excellent condition.

Albertson, who lives about four miles south-east of town, was very agreeably surprised by about twenty members of Mount Zion church, where he has been preaching for some time, coming at his home Thursday of last week.

The visitors brought an abundance of good things and a royal good time was had. Mr. and Mrs. Albertson are hospitable entertainers, as those who were present can testify. About 5 o'clock Tuesday morning smoke was discovered issuing from the store room of A.

Bendowski. The alarm was given and the department soon responded and had a stream of water playing into this building, which had been kept closed until water was at band. The room was filled with dense smoke and it was impossible to locate the fire for some time. The fire caught about the middle of the room and had no doubt amouldered for some hours and had it not been for lack of ventilation the building and those adjoining might now be a mass of ruins. The damage by fire is slight, but the swoke and water brings the loss up to quite an amount which is fully covered by insurance.

It would have been a hard jo' to put the fire out without a stream of water, and had it not been for our little engine the loss would have been very great. Coal oil 8 cents at Dotson's. Smiles. Inter Ocean. "It's terrible the way the conversation is dragging.

After relating the story of English lady intending to visit the world's fair, who said that she would prefer to board in the suburbs of Chicago while doing so, and therefore wrote to a friend asking her to engage rooms in Bangor, Maine, the Buffalo Commercial comments as follows: "Now this seems very funny, but we have heard Boston woman who made no little of her education ask if it was the Hudson river that ran from Buffalo to the falls.

Nay, more, not a month ago Buffalonian was asked by a New Yorker who derives his education from a very popular university not a thousand miles from Boston, whether the shortest way from New York to Buffalo was not by the Pennsylvania Central. And when he was mildly assured by his parents that such geographical ignorance was not to his credit; he blushingly answered that he had not traveled much in this country, and really not know anything about the '11 A Raft Made of One Leaf. At the botanical gardens, Adelaide, several magnificent blooms of the victoria regia have been on view to visitors of late. One of them had the idea of testing the carrying capacity of one of large floating leaves, and a little girl 9 years old was placed upon the miniature raft in a sitting position. A namera was at once procured and photograph taken of the incident.

AUGUST SALE OF SUITS. Boys are no longer apprentices as formerly to a master who takes them into his family and teaches them a trade iu all its branches. In the old days the master was responsible, legally and morally, for his apprentice's adyancement. worked beside him in the shop, and saw to it that he acquired full and accurate knowledge of his craft.

The introduction of machinery and the subdivision of labor have been working together for years to make intimate supervision and instruction of this kind impossible. The master mechanic. instead of presiding over a small shop, and being a master of all branches of his trade, has become, in many instances, the master of merely a single branch of his trade. But whether master of whole or part, he does not work with his men, and can give no personal attention to an apprentice. It has come about, therefore, says the Century, that boys are hired to do the menial work of the shops, to sweep and clean, run upon errands; and as part payment for this work they are permitted to pick up only as much knowledge of the trade as the good nature of the foreman and journeymen will permit.

Of system and thoroughuess in the knowledge thus picked up there is none. From the menial nature of the employment, self-respecting boys regard it as degrading, and consequently refuse to enter upon it. No Apprentices Now. Reduced Rates Santa Fe Route.

Agt. The church ought to cultivate good fellowship and mutual confidence betweep man and man more than it does. Prosperous members are charged with being selfish, cold-blooded, unaccommodating and distrustful to their fellow men, and there is some ground for the charge, How many men are there in the church you attend who you would ask to sign your note for $100? If you wanted such a favor, wouldn't you go to some worldly friend for it? And why is this if religion makes men better and the best men are to by found in the churehes? -Burlington Republican. As we wander around in this gay world we often meet the smiling countenance of a friend and then again the frowning scowl of an enemy; the rich are met and also the poor; the proud and vain as well as the common plain; one minute the Christian the next the sinner; the bum as well as the gentleman; and lastly, the "tony" person who has not a kind word for any soul outside his circle of acquaintances. Too proud to help the fallen; too starchy to shake a poor man's hand, yet not stiff enough to borrow a dollar.

Since that time the city has grown until Greenwood is in the heart of a thickly-settled section, says the Savannah News. And the increase in the value of lots has kept pace with the growth of the city. The lot that cost $1,800 forty years ago is now worth $20,000.

Certain heirs of the man who bought the lot wished to remove his remains to a less costly burial place and sell the lot at its present value. heirs objected, and the matter finally got into the state supreme court. A few days ago the court's decree was rendered. In vigorous language it rebuked the heirs who wished to speculate in a graveyard, and said law would protect the grave. The removal of the body was peremptorily forbidden.

They were never more mistaken in their lives.

Infuential Masons pay no attention to badges. They not only do not wear them, but they do not countenance the wearing of them. Why, any man who has the price can buy a Mason's badge and wear it. The fact of the matter is that the most influential Masons not only do not wear such things, but are not known as Masons." Globe Democrat. Picket Wire 'River.

There is stream in Colorado called Picket Wire river and it derived its name in this way: Years ago, when the first gold fever drove men wild, a party of Mexicans made their way up the stream in search of the precious metal. Months passed, and when the little band did not return their friends mourned them as dead, and called the El Rio de los Animos Perdidos (the River of the Lost Souls). Soon a French colony made its home on the of the stream, whose name WaS freely translated into Le Purgatoire. Then came the American cowboy. He saw the river, heard its name, and translating (P) it into his own tongue dubbed it Picket Wire river.
