TS I be published statements of the irst -N ational Bank and the bank of M. Condon present an excellent showing for Coffeyville's monetary institutions. They each have over sixty per cent, -of their deposits on hands in good, solid cash, to meet any demands that may be made on them. A. J.

Bidison returned, from the Strip on Friday, aud will remain here a few days looking after legal business. He iuforms us that he has decided to locate permanently at Paw- the county seat of county, where he has two good business lots and a residence lot. He is deputy county attorney and is highly pleased with his prospects. A man named Thompson who had secured a claim in the Strip went to the land office a few days ago to file, leaving his wife and three children camped upon the claim. During his absence, a prairie fire swept across the country and the mother being unable to save herself and children, all perished in the flames.

This bell is rung by the marshal at 9 o'clock in the evening and all the boys and girls under the age of fifteen not in the care of parents or guardians, must leave the streets immediately aud go home. If they fail to do this, the officer takes charge of them.

A 'kidbell'' wouldn't be a bad institution in Coffeyviile. Increase of business on the K. T. railway has caused a demand for more freight cars and a lull force of men will be employed at the shops in Sedalia, commencing Monday morning. The working hours will be increased from thirty-six to fifty-four per eek, making an increase of the pay roll of about $7,000 per month.

Up to date the shopmen have been working on half time shifts-Kansas is divided into nine health districts. There are also uiue.mem-bers of the state board of health. Each member has general supervision of one of these districts and Dr. Dykes, the secretary of the board has just received reports from the members of the board as to the state of health in their respective districts. These returns show that the general health of Kansas is good.

At Augusta, Butler county, there is an epidemic of typhoid fever and also a few cases at Wellington and Salina. At Olathe and Topeka there are a few cases of scarlet fever and diphtheria reported but these cases mentioned constitute the entire amount of contagious diseases in the state. 2i B. W. WREXS.

Mr. Shanahan, the genial conductor on the Coffeyviile branch of the Santa Fe, has resumed his run, after spend ing a tnree week's vacation at tiie great Fair.

The A. O. U.

"Advice is cheap" is an old adage, but the "truth of the saying depends altogether upon the character of the advice. If it is bad, it is worse than worseless, but if it is good, it is price less to him who heeds it. A returning boomer had the follow ing lines written on his wagon cover: One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er, I'm farther away from the Strip today, Than I was the day before. Mr. and Mrs.

J. II. Wilcox and family returned on Saturday evening from a six week's visit among friends and relatives in Iowa and Illinois. They also viewed the wonderful sights at the World's Fair during their absence. Why is it that the tough young man will sit in a cheap theater and loudly applaud a maudlin song about "me dear old mother's picture," and then go home and throw a stove lifter at her if she asks him to milk the cow.

One cent per mile rates from all points in the West to Unicago went into effect Saturday at midnight and will remain in effect till after the World's Fair closes. Present indica tions point to the tremendously heavy traffic in consequence of these rates. An intelligent and industrious ed itor of a neighboring town, has dug the following information out of the debris of the new election law: "Any person entitled to vote is allowed a vacation of two hours on the day of election, without any deduction of wage provided that an application for leave of absence be filed with his employer prior to the day ot election. The employer may designate at what time of the day the employe may ab sent himself but he cannot prevent his going. BAKERY AND CON FECTIONERY J-1S BKEAD ISjTHEiSWEETEST, lightest and most delicious.

DANIEL GRASS, Attorney-at-Law. Coffeyviile, Kansas my shoe: Don't commence your cussh I ain't done notnin' to you. Yes, I'm a tramn. What of tt' Folks say we ain't no good, Bat tramps hastolive, I reckon, though folks don't think we should. Once I was and handsome, had plenty of cash and clothes; That was afore I tippled and giu gdt into my nose.

Down in the Lehigh Valley rue and my people grew, I was a blacksmith cap'en yes, and a good one too; Me ana my wile and rsellie Nellie was just sixteen, She was the pootiest ereature the valley ever seen, Vfc iseauxr ny, sue naaaaozen naa em from near and fur, But they were mostly farmers, none of 'em suited her. There was a city stranger, young hand some and tall. Damn him I wish I had him strangled agin that wall. He was the man for Xellie she didn't know no ill; Mother she tried to stop it, but you nnow a young girl's will. Well, it's the same old story common enough you'll say He was a soft tongued devil, and he got her to run away.

More than a month after we heard from the poor young thing; He'd gone away and left her without a wedding ring. Back to her home we brought her, back to her mother's side, Filled with a raging fever she fell at my feet and died. Frantic with shame and trouble, her moth er began to sink Dead in less than a fortnight that's when I took to drink. Give me one glass, Curnel, and then I'll be on my way, I'll tramp till I find that scoundrel, if it takes till the Judgment Day. Kaw's Mouth.

Jack Frost not only withers the pumpkin vines and kills the leaves on the trees, but it nips the ice crop in the bud also. These is no business today that re quires more intelligence, more study and more 4sand" than the business of he agriculturist. Anybody can be farmer, it is said; any fool can plow and sow. Yes, and anybody can be a awyer, a preacher or a doctor. A man can practice law and medicine and lave very little sense.

Nor is there any law in this country that prevents a simpleton from being a preacher. The lawyer the doctor and the preacher cater to the wants and demands of men. The agriculturist has to do with and meet the demands of nature. The lawyer and the doctor yes, and the preacher too can. humbug the peo pie, because the people love to be hum bugged.

But the agriculturist caunct humbugjiature. She will not yield up her treasured to those who deal dishonestly with her. The business of agriculture is a good and high calling. Few, indeed, compreheud its greatness or are qualified to meet its demands. The man who reads many books is not necessarily more intelligent than the one who only reads a few.

There is such a thing as overfeeding in books the same as in food for the body. Some of the best read men in the world, men whose memories are stored with information deriyed from the works of others, are singularly inefficient. Tteir knowledge does not enable them to compete with men who are inCnitely less learned, but who have the faculty of making successful use of what they do know. "What is the education of the generality of the -world?" said Iiurke. Iiead-ing a parcel of.

books? No! Restraint and discipline, examples of virtue and justice, these are what form the education of the world." The man who relies upon books entirely is sure to find them inadequate and disappointing. Thev do not cover all contingencies, and when they fail him be is helpless, as they have taken away his self-reliance and his inde pendence of thought and judgment. He knows only what the books have told him, and they have not told him how to deal with the numerous small circumstances which collectively count for so much in all schemes and pur suits. All About Ireathingr. A school boy from the Indian Territory was assigned the task of prepar-a composition, lie was instructed to "tell all you can about breathing." Here is what he said: "JJreatii is made of air.

We breath with our lungs, our lights, our liver, and kidneys. If it wasn't for our breath we sliould die when we slept. Oar breath keeps the life agoing through the nose when we are asleep. Boys that stay in a room all day should not breathe. They should wait till they get out of doors.

Boys in a room make bad, unwholesome air. They make carbonicide. Carbonicide is poisoner than mad dogs. A heap of soldiers was in a black hole in India, and a carbonicide got in that there hole and killed nearly every one afore morning. Girls kill the breath with corsets, that squeezes the diagram Girls can't holler or run like boys because their diagram is squeezed too much.

If I was a girl I'd rather be a boy, so I can holler and run and bare a great big diagram 1 Register. Register, at once. Voters should register. Travel on the railroads is good. An ounce of help is worth tons of pity.

It is never hard to find people who want t0 pla the first fiddle It won't do any good for a Christian to talk louder than he liyes. very time some people speak in church the devil feels better. xne moment we die for const we find out that He lives for us.

If there were no little sins there would never be any big ones For every? failing aiman can point out in others he has two of his own. One of the saddest conditions in life is to have nothing good to live for. The man who worships a God of his own imagination, worships himself. The man who has God to plan for him always does a good day' work. Wild geese are about ready to hi a away to the hurricane and yellow fever liooa 1'ins are easy to take, easy in action and sure in effect, 25 cents a box.

He who has never been tempted has little right to boast of his honor or his honesty. Sunday was a splendid day to attend church and take a drive into the country.
