the city attended the ball at Fowler
on last Tuesday evening. They re
turned Wednesday morning and re
port an excellent time. "
Mrs. D. Skinner and her daughter,
Mrs. Thurston left last Friday for

their pasture. They succeeded in
saving all their hay.
The big prairie fire last week de
stroyed the entire range of B. H.
Campbell & Sons. They were com
pelled to move their cattle to Clark
county.
Mr. O. P. Stumph, who has been
attending Dr. Fee's drug store dur
ing his absence, left Monday for his
home in Dodge City. Mr. Stumph
was a very pleasant gentleman and
was liked by everyone who met him
during his short stay in our city.
Mr. F. G. Hamilton wentthrough

man for a few days to relieve the

rived there he found the depot

Dr. Fee returned from Fort Scott
Kansas, .Monday, where he had
been to take the examination before
the State Board of Pharmacy, which
met in that city. There were 43 ap
plicants of whom 23 failed, the Dr.
receiving the highest average of any
who passed. Some parties in this
county have recently been writing
letters to the State Board and also
to the Goyernor and the Attorney
General falsely stating that Dr. Fee
was running a "dive" under the
guise of a drug store. Now, there
was no truth in these reports as ev
ery onehere knows, and the results
are sure to be disastrous to the par
ties who made the false reports.
Dr." Fee bought the drug store and
was conducting the same in good
faith, intending to take the examina
tion for registration as soon' as the
Board met,' which he did, success
fully passing the same, as we always
believed he was thoroughly compe
tent to do so. The State Board of
Pharmacy is composed of gentleman
who do not belong ' to the narrow
gauge category, but on the other
hand, are broad-minded men, who
recognize ability to the exclusion of
narrow, contracted political anomos
ities. After the examination, , each
member personally congratulated
Doc on his successful .examination,
as everyone of them was'ofthe opin
ion that the whole matter had been
misrepresented to them. ? We cer
tainly think that if we were the par
ties who sent in these reports' that
we. would feel like 30 cents, and
should quickly make a sneak .for
our hole, and pull the same in with
us. ' . "- ';- .
