FIRST 2-CENT TICKET.
Winfield, Oct. 15. I. C. San
ders of this city, who travels for
the Brunswick-Balke-Collender
Company, claims the distinction
of purchasing the first regular
2-cent ticket sold in Kansas under
the new regulation, and fixes the
time at a half a m'nute after 12
o'clock the morning of Saturday,
October 5. This was at Baxter
Springs, Kas., from which place
he arrived home Saturday after
noon. By an accident he remains
in possession of the ticket, which
he will keep as a souvenir. A
freight train off the track east of
Beaumont delayed his train so
that he missed the connection of
the morning train on the branch
and went to Wichita, whence he
came home on the Santa Fe. As
hii ticket was returned to him
after being punched on the main
line train, he still has it.
To Automobile Owners.
This is to give due notice that
the ordinance governing the
speed of automobiles inside the
city limits is going to be strictly
enforced. I shall not give an
other warning, hut will arrest all
parties exceeding the speed limit.
Henry Horton, City Marshal.
Good morning, have you built
your sidewalk yet?

"The Cow-Puncher, " a play
depicting life in Arizona, by Hal
Roid, will be one of the events
theatrically during the coming
season at the Library Theatre,
Tuesday, Oct. 29. This play en
joyed a most prosperous season
East last year and producer, W.
F. Mann, promises local theatre
goers, an attraction worthy in
every particular.
Play, company and scenery are
the three very important requis
ites contained in W. F. Mann's
productiod ''The Cow-Puncher,"
which is booked at the Library
Theatre for an early appearance.
Manager Mann.-' has always
brought us splendid 'attractions
in the past and the. success of
"The Cow-Puncher" in the East
last season indicates that the
forthcoming engagement will
prove oo exception to the rule.

The opening of the Library
Theatre on Thursday evening of

seat being sold. The company
stayed over and gave a show the
next night. "Uncle Zeke" was
played the first night, and "A
Girl From the West" the second

carried bv the company is as
