Simpson residence,, in the 4th ward, and eppropriated.Mr. Simpson's watch, valued at about $ 16, and some lodse change. Mrs. McMullea .saw him come out and gave the officers a good description of him. Tuesday morning the fellow was .found down .i n . . T-. h . near me aapta j?e tracks, eating breakfast. He had been trying to sell the watch on the-street the night before and was identified by several. He first said he had sold a watch to some dagos; afterwards to ' a stone hauler. The watch was found with the latter, who had bought it for 75 cents.' Marshal Wilson made the catch, and the fellow will likely get a term in the county jail for his pilfer tog. The Best Ever. ' There is now not a- particle of question but what the attractions at the Barton. County -Fa;r next- week will be the best ever got together in this part of the state. There will be more live stock or all kinds, more fast horses in the races, more fancy work, more machinery, and more high class attractions in the way of conces sions tha has ever been -seen out side of a state fair. All this means, that if there is a large attendance the association will be" able to still further increase the premium offers next year, to improve the grounds and make the Barton County Fair a still more, permanent institution. 3 To tight Fair Grounds. The fair association are having the electric light wires run out to the fair grounds, and after the first night will keep the grounds open evenings until 11 p. m. None of the buildings will be opened, but all the privilege stands.'and attractions will be run ning full blast, t and of course the confetti people will be there. During the day no person will be allowed to sell or throw confetti on the grounds, but in the even ing the bars in -that respect .will be down. Toy whips will also be barred. A small admission fee of ten cents will be charged at the gate for the evening. Adequate police regulations will be adopted to prevent rowdyism, and all persons who at tend are expected to act as ladies and gentlemen should.

There has never, to oar knowledge, been a death from heat in this lo cality. It gets hot, all righty, but there i always enough breeze mov ing to dispell the killing heat. Mrs. F. E, Wadj of Princeton and Mrs. C A. Wade of Mercer, are here on a visit to her aunt,' Mrs. F. L Frey, FOR A GREATER GREAT BEND. Other Towns Have flrowa to be Cities. So May We SOME THINGS THAT DID IT. It is within the memory of many of our citizens that only a few years ago the cities of Wichita, Hutchin- ison and Salina were small villages 1 . 0 I with no better prospects for com- mercial expansion and groth than 1 Great Bend, St. 'John and Medicine j Lodge. They possessed no superior natural advantages ana were sur rounded by no better country. They were, however, quick to rec ognize the advantages of railroads and they oftored every possible in ducement to any railroad proposing to build .through the country to com e their way. They extended aid to these roads by voting bonds, raising cash bonuses, granting lands for terminal, and in other ways, and they got the roads." With these railroads came an in flux of people. These people wanted to buy land, to build homes and to help develop the country.' They be came permanent settlers. The small villages soon became towns and the towns grew rapidly into cities. W holesale houses, packing plants, salt works, manufacturing concerns and other enterprises were . establish. ed. With the growth in population came a natural advance in tne price of lands and all other property Home markets were built up for the butter, eggs, poultry, fruit, vegatables and all products of the farm. In stead of. selling for shipment and trading produce for merchandise, the farmers sold for cash for. horr'e' con sumption. Tbey took . the 'cash to the big stores that came with the growth of the country and the in creased population and selected what they, wanted from larger stocks than the towns could afford when smaller and when the country was more thinly settled and ' the people had fewer advantages and less money. Today nearly . everything that is sold from' the stores in those cities snipped in by the car load or tram load. They hive their own whole sale grocers, druggists and general dealers, and 'he people get the bene fit of lower freight rates and cheaper goods as a result. Those merchants are even now carying on a large mail order business, and are competing with our local dealers in that way and they are ab'e to do so because our- dealers must buy in smaller quantities and carry lighter stocks. all of which would, be overcome by better railroad facilities - and an in creased population. Let us -get in line and become ourselves a railroad center, a bigger town and richer people. Special Train Service. Arrangements have been '.made wnn ine Missouri racinc to run a special train from Geneseo to Great Bend and back on Thursday of fair week, Aug. 31. The Claflin band will play at the fair on that date, and come over on that train. The rates on all roads are one and a. third fare, and this rate will apply on this train. The schedule and rates from th6 various stations is as follows: Leave Geneseo, 7.-40. a. m., $1.80 " Frederick, 8:00 a. m., 1.50 " Bushton,8:15su m., 1.30 " Claflin, 8:32 a. m., . .95 " Red Wing, 8:48 a. m., .65 Hoisington, 9:1) a. m. .40 Returning, the train will leave Great Bend about 11 p. in.' This arrangement will give the people from the north-east part of the county an opportunity of coming to the fair with out driving their horses in the heat, and without staying two nights. No doubt the attendance from th ai section of the country on the third day of the fair will be exceedingly large. Any persons who desires can hand a list of articles they wish to enter for the county fair to the secretary, or- to L. C. Breeden the entry clerk, at any time now, and thus avoid delays and BARTON STILL HAS Bl. The Champion Ball Turn Now Han$i Out at Hoisinjton. While we were not able to get many particulars of the ball game at HoisingtoQ Monday, but enough to know that Hoia ingtonbeat Hutchinson 6 to 2. land Barton County still leads ine procession so far as this! part of the state is concerned. There was not a very large crowd out, and people were not to blame for not turning out to get roasted. The features of the game were three home runs, one by Wagner and one by Royer, for Hoising ton; and one by Griggs for Hut chinson. Wajrner swatted the ball so far that when the fielder got it, and saw Charlie hoppinjr onto home plate; he turned and threw the ball away. It Ought to be Stopped. We see it in the newspapers arid we hear it from the individual, that the undertsking business is becoming so strenuous in some towns that some undertakers have lost all common de cency, and respect for the dead and their relatives, This is most unkind. unpleasant and untjentlemanly. These fairly take the dead bodies from the hands of their friends and relatives without even; asking what they want or who they want to bury them. We have heard it reported around that .1 L ,. . 1 mey nave even enlisted women as well as men to watch and keep track of the sick and watch when they are dead, sometimes staying until they do die, in order . to get a . chance to bury them. Even asking and begging for the privilege sometimes of having the job. Have even gose so far as to seek brothers of the lodges," churches and other institutions for this kind of work. Such things should be frowned down upon by all true gentle men and ladies. This business should be done in a regular way and according to the wishes' of the rela tives and tne greatest care and sym pathy manifested in their sorrow "and grief. " A Citizen It might not be a bad idea to drop around at the city clerk's office (you'll find it here) and register, if you are not already fixed. When a bunch of Kansas girls give a "slumber" party, it does not necessa rily mean that the bunch or anybody else in -the neighborhood slumbers much. " A man who ought to know better made a bad break the other evenirfg, impersonating an officer and trying to get' into a caboose where a' freight conductor and his wife were sleeping. The conductor declined to enter complaint, but the next offense will not be overlooked. It is to the interest of every citizen in St. John township and the city of St. John to carry the bonds for the new north and south railroad, Septem ber 5:h, This road will- pay the amount of the bonds; back in taxes in a few years. .Then think of the great commercial value of a great line ex tending from Canada to the Gulf.
