A crowd of teachers and pro fessors went to Oakley on Thurs day evening's train to attend the Golden Belt Teachers' Associa tion. The W. K. S. N. football boys went to Oakley Thursday even ing where they played a game of V football with the Colby team Friday. Miss Olga Henrietta Welbener,, the new owner and hostess 'of Justus Bissing cottage, spent Thanksgiving day visiting friends in our city. T. A. Hickman, our fnrmpr Jeweler, got sick of his Missouri bargain, and came back to Kan sas and located a drug store and Jewelry department at Plainville. The great annual football match between the Kansas and Mis souri State Universities came off Thanksgiving day at Kansas City before an audience of 15,000 en thusiastic people and Kansas won by a score of 10 to 4, the gate receipts being over $17,000, near . ly double any previous game. The Senior and the Junior . classes at the State Normal are having quite a tussel in the "Hazing" line. The Seniors started by hiding a Junior away when an important football game was on, and the Juniors woke up. First they worried the sen iors after a party at Miss Pierce's, next they tied up several senior boys in a cellar at the Cavt party, and then they capped the f limax this week. Mrs. Pic ken fgave a reception to the Seniors at her home over on the Reserva tion, and the Juniors tied up two of the Seniors, and scared the rest of them so they had to stay over at Mrs. Picken's all night, "afraid to go home in the dark." In most schools it is the Sophs and the Freshmen, but here the Juniors are giving the Seniors the time of their. lives before they graduate. Riverside ranges, Riverside Oak, Perfection Oil heater.

They have op posed our Stite Normal as takinsr western students from their institution. Rev. Mumford, while here did his best to (ret our students to go there, and was condemned by our people. Now their pnpera have us, their future school literature will taunt us. The Salina Journal has this: "While he was here attending the Wesleyan ceremonies Monday Prof Picken, principal of the Hays City Normal School 'addressed the pupils of the High School in the afternoon. "I:waht- to congratulate you," he said, ''on your magnificent new big high school buildine that is beine erec ted. and especially upon its beautiful location. We thought - w h.d the finest location at Havs of any school in the state but you have us beaten " Most speakers would have praised the beaury of the boys and girls, "finest I ever saw," butN not made comparisons and given his town a black eye. No production in years has awakened ereater public admiration of the regular theatre goers. Artistic elegance, har mony, and brilliancy of coloring afe marked features in each of the three HCts. Every member has been en caged for their particular fitness of the roles entrusted to them. The cho rus is remarkably pretty and talented, not only for its ensemble work, but for the meritorious individual work. This attraction will he seen at the G. A. R. Hall, Thursday Dec. 3. Our citizens feel disappointed in the appropriations asked for by the regents for the Fort Hays State institutions. They find nothing in the Normal ap propriations about a dam to save the waters of the creek, nothing for beau tifying their 80 acre campus, but a great big sum for a power-house. - In the Experiment Station appropri ation there is not a penny for improve ment of th State Public Park, either in ds m or shrubberv and not a nennv toward a bridge at South Chestnut street connecting with their grounds. It. may be all right for Hays to fpend $500 to $1000 to open the Btreet direct to their buildings, but they don't offer to help. Better then for Hays to let the section line be opened that runs direct to : the bridge already built, which the farmers are now using and much prefer. fTPpTTTT) The friends of W. H.

The Essex Club gave a social dance Wednesday evening that was largely attended and much enjoyed until a late hour. The Majestic Theatre has gone by the board, the patronage not being sufficient on the circuit selected to pay expenses. Two games of basketball were played in the Normal gymnasium Tuesday . evening.

We note the following Normal students that went home Thanks giving vacation: Elizabeth Kline, Graham Co. ; James, Henry, Ruth and Alpha McVey, Graham Co. ; Miss Frue, Winona; Miss King, Turkville; Miss Ivan, Wakeeney. Thanksgiving Day was a beau tiful one. Union services were held in the Lutheran church, while the Catholics had a big celebration over the dedication of their new college building. Many enjoyed family gatherings and dinners. . j As 'expected, petitions Were signed this week to lay out a county road 25 feet wide from: the bridge west of town to Yoce mento, adjoining the R. R. right of way. This; added to the right of way, will make a fine road way along the track. - One of the largest family gath erings on Thanksgiving Day in this city was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Philip in compli ment to the "bride-to-be." All of the Philip, Behan and Ward families, Mr. and Mrs. Colliver and Miss Welhener of Kansas City, over fifty, enjoyed the feast.

Hays Reservation bill for a Western State Normal School, some one of the Emporia school wrould go there and block it. Finding our people persistent, he let up, the bill was passed, and the Lagislature established the school. At the school in Emporia the below we give an article from their school paper of May, 19, 1902, that is copied this week by our Normal school paper: Hays City Normal. Hays City will soon be in possession of the model Normal school of the West. In many respects it will be superior to modern institutions of its kind. Latin is to receive special attention. In each room will be a patent phonograph in which the pupil will re ceive his conjugations. It is' in an automatic device and will slap the pupils on the side of the head as a reminder of defects in reci tation. The management thinks by this device the students will be prepared to yell the Latin conjugations effectively at ball games and society contests, and be ready to enter his classes in Heaven without examination. Rhetoricals will be displaced by an hour of solemn silence, in terrupted occasionally by that doleful phrase, "Meditate, O cat!'-' Calisthenics is a bore, and for it the management has substituted the digging of shale, which is said to be rich with such -materials as gold, lead and paint, thus making work more profitable as well as healthful. One student may work out his exercise with the pro fessor's file, scoring the twelves struck by the Latin class on his old cook stove. There will be no cheating there. The institution will be pro vided with a few gross of patent of suspicioned pupils during tests receive special attention.- According to latest reports, the con servatory will be located fifty feet under ground and made of solid masonry, twelve feet thick. It will have a ventilating shaft coming to the surface four miles from the Normal. It is supposed that by this process the tones will good effect on pupils of other departments. We are waiting eagerly for" further developements." ' If these same opponents and as it is, how small they would feel. Fine big stone buildings lo cated on a beautiful 80-acre campus overlooking the city, with timber skirting a pretty winding stream,' with hundreds of joyful girls and boys in attendance, and the school ten years ahead of the Emporia school in its first six Western Kansas is proud of their I, charge no more for fire policies than the agents of many less responsi ble companies atsk for theirs, which may be good only a part of the time. 52-tf J.

"TWO MERRY TRTtMPS." So many musical comedies are built without rhyme or reason that the pub lic have in general come to the conclu sion that the only make up is the open ing and closing speech. Wood & Ward, ' realizing this state of affairs, cast about for a comedy which would have an ""original plot,- and dialogue that would necessitate the introduction of a chorus of pretty girls or a number of vaudeville acts to make it a success. In "Two Merry Tramps" they found just what they were looking for, with the vehicle of their desire at hand they engaged. a strong Pinging company, six hisrh class vaudeville acts, and a chorus of handsome girls. Next special scen ery was provided for each act and sing ing number, wardrobe and gowns which are marvels to the dressmaking and costuming art. G. A. R. Hall, Thurs day Dec. 3. Gattte and Horse Feed.
