Early
Last Sunday morning Rev. W. B.
Brown preached his farewell sermon at
the Presbyterian church, and m.tny
damp eyes could be seen in the large
congregation. lie has been pastor of
this church for thirteen years and made
a host of friends who will regret to
sea he and his splendid family leave us.
They are going to Illinois again, al
though he has had several calls to re
main in Kansas. He has a fine family
of children and the young folks will
miss them in the schools and societies,
and all wish them long life and pros
perity in their new home.
Mr. Brown left for Illinois Friday
morning.
A business Change.

interest of Charlie Binder in the Pump

snare ox your patronage, it is unaer-
tooa tnac unarne wm go on rae roaa,

Election Boards.
By the terms of a new law which
went into effect this week Judges and
Clerks of all elections shall receive $3
each for the first 200 votes or lees 'and
an additional Bum equal to one cent for
aach additional voter votingrand polls
shall open at 8 a.m. and close at 6 p m.
School Election.
The type made us say the annual
school election in Hays and all third
elass cities was next Monday the fifth.
We were thinking of the city election.
It should have read next Friday the 9th
at 2 p. jn. it being the second Friday in
April and that will be the date for the
annual meeting in such districts tMs
year. Thedate of the annual meeting
in other school districts was left un
changed. The manner of making the levy at
district meetings was changed so that
amount of money that is to be levied
for school purposes, and not the num
ber of mills to be levied. The county
commissioners are to levy the number
of mills that will produce the amount
voted at the district meeting. Another
school law requires that a fire drill
shall be practiced at least once each
month in school buildings having more
than one hundred pupils.

An election proclamation for $23,000
in bonds in Hamilton township in this
county for the Garden City to Stockton
railroad is being published with the elec
tion April 27. No bonds to be issued
unless the road is completed from the
Trego, county line through that town
ship to Stockton by Dec. 31, 1910. But
do the people of that township realize
that the proposition assures them of
no depot or side track if the bonds are
voted or road built? The Supreme
Court has decided that you cannot
force a railroad to locate either unless
so specified in the petition. It should
say that a depot and side track shall be
maintained in the township so long as
the bonds run. In that case the Su
preme Court say it is a part of the
contract.
The Bub-company have organized a
town site company and one may be lo
cated in Trego county and the next not
until the Saline or Rooks county is
reached For safety sake better make
them put it in the petition before vot
ing your bonds.

George Bear, the famous Normal
base ball pitcher, is here for the spring
term of school. The Normal has some
fine material and with "Teddy " in the

It is surely encouraging to the teach
ers at the State .Normal to see the
crowd of new students coming in this
term. A large class, with careful at
tention, is always what a teacher wantB
for profitable work.

The "flight of goods" Saturday
morning from the top of the Zeigier
store brought out a crowd, but was not
a success. Boys were there in abun

consequence men, woman and farmers,
the people who buy, took no part and
the goods mostly went to the children,
who scrambled like football players.
We have two car load of buggies and

From the latest reports it looks as if
the new train is to be to our town what
the great 20th Century train on the

was to be but a whistling station, the
new train going through at fifty miles
an hour like a theatre outfit. Lookout
for the cars.

TSk Dedication.
Last Sunday wat a very enjoyable
day for the Turkvilie people, when the
Baptists dedicated their fine new stone
church building to the service of God
ad of the community. Dr S. E.
Price, president of the Ottawa Univer
sity, preached the dedicatory sermon,
which was an eloquent and .effective
discourse enjoyed by the large aud
ience. Rev. A. E. Goodman, pastor of
the Baptist church at Hays, preached
at the service on Saturday and Rev.
J. R. Rairdon, of St. John, completed
the day with a good sermon on Sunday
night.
The deficit of $1700 was all raised at
the morning service by Dr. Price ably
assisted by Rev. J. R. Rairdon. The
music by the choir under the leadershfp
of Wm. Barry was appreciated by all,
as well as the solo so sweetly rendered
by Mrs. Grace Nason of Salina and the
male quartette from Plainville.
The pastor, Rev. W. P. Jenkins, and
his noble band of people are to be con
gratulated at the successful outcome
of months of planning and labor. The
church eels that hearty thanks arc due
to .the ,many. friends Mthat'jwki .liberally
contributed towards the building of the
church.
The church is a beautiful stone struc
ture 36 x 40 with a steel ceiling, heavy
circular oak pews, gasoline lights, and
furnace. The seating capacity is 250
and th whole cost something over
$4000. A farewell offering was taken
in the evening towards purchasing a
bell and a new organ. ' A. E. G.

Monday evening for Emporia, : where
Mr. Ham will commence upon his duties
as regent of the normal schools. This
is a position that Mr. Ham takes to as
naturally as eating. He would rather
be a regent of our state educationa
institutions than anything, short of
congressman, having on several occa
sions turned down offers of far more
lucrative and conspicuous places within
the Governor's gift. The state normal
is fortunate in having a man like Ham
on ito board of managers. Stockton
