Deeoite the rainy weather a nleasant and profitable evening was enjoyed by all who attended the Apron social at the First Baptist church last Tuesday night. The ladies of the church and congregation brought aprons, unhealed, no two of which being alike, and upon entering the church each lady deposited with the treasurer of the evening an envelope containing a sample of ber apron. ben sapper was announced, each gentleman present purchased two sup per tickets, and received one of tbese sam ple envelopes, the next task being to find the lady wearing the apron to match his sample, which he was obliged to hem before going to supper. Here centered the principal interest of the evening.

How ever, after much hemming and hawing (more hawing than hemming) numerous prick of tbe needle and jest of the ladies, the slowest of these masculine seamen had finished his seaming, and, arraying himself in the apron of his own handiwork, pro ceeded to sapper, accompanied by hia fair companion.

Rockwell, asked us recently how much we thought corn would shrink from October to July, and we answered that we had seen the estimate of shrinkage pat at is percent to May. He showed as the report of experiment stations placing the shrinkage at 163 percent to July. We believe tbe shrinkage in wheat has been plaeed at 6 percent to May. If we count interest and waste, it is not always as profit able noiaing grain as might at hrst appear, uscar Bonn has demonstrated that a small farm can be made pay in Kansas. By confining his time to forty acres, he ha realized from one acre what most farmers have by cultivating three or four.

We notice he has grown three profitable crops mis year on tbe same piece of ground. The first was a heavy crop of oats. As soon as the oats were harvested, corn was listed in. The corn was cut for fodder when good roasting ears. The third crop is oats for green pasture, which was sown before tbe cultivator in the corn.

Our young friend Moresby has done well in his first experience at farming. It is a utile lonesome on politics and religion, but it makes him hustle to take care of his corn. A. Rait is husking one of the best pieces of corn in tbe county. WREFORD.

Ra-trinnl r1t ta Mvma at RViprman'a fl.15 per set. MrLTTVRRV haw wanr Villi. Bert at Rosa dAn th ar saHinc- twenty The corn exhibit at The Racket closed on Friday of last week. On all exhibits the name of the exhibitor was replaced by a number, and the judge, Mr. Thomas Dixon, jr, was given numbers to aeai wun not names.

Each farmer was allowed two, and it was decided that weight should be the test oi superiority, as wing very i to all exhibitors, at the same time removing any opportunity for difference of opinion. The prizes were $5, $3 and 2. The following is a list of exhibitors: A Rait, 1st prize, 2 pounds 15y ounces H. ia prize, 2 pounds, 10 ounces Arthur Rait, 3d prise, 2 pounds, 10 ounces John A Nelson, 2 pounds, 9 ounces Crawford, 2 pounds 6 ounces Davis, 2 pounds 6 ounces; Sergt Gilbert, Reick, Lester Lemley, Walter Hicks, ueorge ugene, Warnick, Larkin, Mark Tolly, 8on-ger, Hooper, Stephens, Christenson, John Bird, Joe Peterson, Carlton, Gustave Rick, Christensen, Heidel, Hodgin, Sergt Gilbert, Moy-er. A Soderberg, John Cutter.

Bauer, Thompson, Lester Gormley, Christenson, Sutherland, Hampton, Bunch, Whitmore, Waller, a Hampton, Perry Hardin, Charles Fasse, Robbie McVay, Wm Thompson, Ben Mc-VT, Whitmore, A Larkin, Charles Goshorn, Peterson, Josiah Baker, Songer, Miller, Moyer, Hooper, Bowers, Carroll larkin, tj Davis, McBryer, (i Homan, Bailey, Ho man and Furrow. This makes a magnificent showing for the county. The farmers generally have taken a great interest in the display, and many while not expecting to enter tbe con-teat, have not failed to keep an eye on every addition made to the list. Mr. Hemenway waa more than gratified with the great number of response to hi invitation.

A prominent dealer on the Chicago Board of Trade, in writing to Capt. A. C. Pierce, incidentally referred to the fact that a friend waa figuring on buying l.uvo,-000 bushels of 15 cent corn in Kansas, and that inside of a year he intend getting 60 font. This ought to be a bint worth something to our farmer.

The great number of crib built in the county this fall, and nearly every one of them with shingled roofs, indicate strongly that many intend to hold their corn. The Central Kansas farmer, it has alway seemed to us, should just as rapidly as possible shift around into position to carry from one to one and a half years' crops ahead. It so easy to lose in a year all the profit of two or three that it is worth striving for. Every acre of fodder should be cut and fed. saving the rough ness that can be best carried over.

Farther east of us in the state will be found im mense hay sheds. They are made of pole about 20 feet long, with roof, and boards extending down the aides from four to ten feet. With Geary's wealth of timber, a farmer can get tbe poles and frame timber with no expense outside of his own labor, with perhaps a few rafters, and be can build one. There should be one on every farm. John M.

Wilkerson, on a branch of Humboldt, and within four and a half miles of Dwight, is going to buy and crib 8,000 bushels of corn. He builds two crib each to hold 4,000 bushel. Each will be covered with grooved roofing, and nailed up for future reference. He had one filled last week, and began hauling lumber for the second. He paid 20 cents for the first 4.000 bushels, with 72 pounds, and for the last he is to give 18, with 70 pounds.

This means an expenditure of $1,520 in cash for corn, and quite a little for lumber, hauling and other expenses, Messrs. R. S. Berry, E. G.

Jones and Cha. Beans have been hauling lumber, lhe F. White house furnished the lumber. H. W.

Parker, in the vicinity of Dwight, has been husking a field of 25 acre of corn that is yielding, so we are informed, 50 bushels an acre. This, of coarse, does not mean that his entire crop will go that much The remainder, which is on upland, will yield thirty-hve bushels. On Monday, the 21st. a very disastrous prairie fire swept over more than a 1,000 acres in the vicinity north of Dwight. Among the losses were 125 ton of hay.

The fire caught from the Rock Island. The company paid all lossea at once. Representative G. W. Miller, east of Milford, is building a cattle shea some thing like 20x80 feet.

The sides and end are stone, and covered with grooved roof ing. This will add very materially to hi equipments for business. The Langvardts, np on Humboldt, are feeding a load of cattle. Henry Schede- man, lust this side, has one or two loads in the feed lot, and E. R.

Beavers, still further down, has a mixed load on full feed. Ashbaugh up the Republican a mile, are building a crib 14x20, and an implement shed of the same dimensions. The boys have 80 acres of mighty good land that they are improving. They are usually very successful. C.

Greene had seven applicants Saturday Craiger Brothers, who fed out 600 head of steers early in the season on McDowell, brought in 200 more last week to be fed They are on the Brannick farm.

A Miltonvale gentleman wrote here nn der date of November 4th making inqui riea as to farm lands for sale. He want to come down in God' country. W. A. Frazier of Council Grove, former' ly of Marshall county, was here this week looking for land to either lease or bay Mr.

P. Maloney purchased one of the store buildings in Skiddy held by the Prov ident Loan Trust company. Hale Powers was down in Morris county this wees: on a land deal for tbe Provident Loan Trust company, Mr. Dodge, near Ogden, is making a few repairs and shaping thing np generally about nia tarm. Messrs.

The members of the Junction City Poul try association are looking forward to the date set for holding the show, which will be December 25, 26 and 27. The entire membership, which has grown quite large, have determined to make this one of the best poultry shows west of Kansas City. Those who visited last tall their hrst at tempt nnder very unfavorable circum stances, can have only a fair conception of what they may expect at tbe coming show with a better conception of the true type of various breeds by members of tbe asso ciation, a more uniform set of pens for birds, together with a systematic arrange ment of varieties. A liberal prize to all who may desire to exhibit from a distance should be the mean of interesting one and all. besides being profitable to member and others who must claim the hen as one of the very best friends and supporter.

We shall have more to say in regard to this meeting as tbe time draws near. C. T. Barrett, one of our live fanciers, ha shipped to Indian Territory a trio of une iflack He has raised some very fine specimens of this variety, and believes that he will be able to compete with tbe best in the near future.

The Royal Hawaiian Band and the Hawaiian Glee Club, a musical organization of forty members, nnder the leadership of J. 8. Libornia, tbe greatest saxophone player who ever came to this country, will appear at the opera house Monday the 18th of this month, accompanied by Signor A. Liberati, tbe world's peerless cornet soloist, thus giving the public tbe honor of hearing virtually four concerts in one. It reflects great credit upon the energy and enterprise of Mr.

Dora in bringing this famous musical company to the city, and it has necessitated considerable risk on his part. But the music-loving people of this section of toe country are doubtless aware of the high artistic merit of Ibis attraction and will turn out a large number to hear the dusky musicians from the "gems of the blue Pacific." A good many of the Hawaiian have been members of the band from the time of its organization, in 1886, and most of them have been playing since 1874, and hence are all artists in the manipulation of their favorite instruments. The singing of the Hawaiian has never been equalled for genuine feeling and melodic sweetness a fact readily admitted by all tourists and travelers. The Hawaiian have been denied the mean of making a living in their native land by the action of a despotic government, and have been sent on a tour of the world by their wealthy admirers to show tbe people the high standard of civilization attained by tbe natives from a musical standpoint. Ever since their arrival in Han Francisco in the early part of this year, they have been greeted by large and enthusiastic audiences on the occasion of every concert, who have listened with wonder and admiration to the programmes rendered by this organization.

Every one who wishes to enjoy a rare musical treat should not let this opportunity pass. THE ALTWEGG-GFELLEK WEDDING. One of the most enjoyable social events of the Gfeller neighborhood, a few miles west of Alida, that has occurred for some time was tbe marriage of Miss Mary, daughter of Mr. G. Gfeller, to Mr.

Conrad Altwegg. The G. Gfeller home is one of the most hospitable places in the county. Rev. Leutwein, pastor oi the German Evangelical church, both here and at Alida, presided with much dignity and grace.

The wedding was perfect. The bouse was filled with relatives and close friends, something like fifty being present. After congratulations, the company were seated to one of the most sumptuous wedding dinner ever spread in the county. There was nothing too good, and the Gfeller are abundantly able to get what they want. In all, the wedding day was thoroughly enjoyed, and will remain a memorable occasion.

Many beautiful gift were displayed. Mr. G. Gfeller is one of the very strongest and most successful farmers in the county. The name of Gfeller stands in the very highest esteem wherever known.

Miss Mary is a most estimable young lady, and very popular. Mr. Altwegg is a nephew of Mr. Conrad Altwegg, one of the very best men in the vicinity. He came from Switzerland about a half year ago.

Thh Union joins many friends in hearty congratulations and best wibbes. THE FIREMEN MEET. At the regular monthly meeting of tbe Fire Department held Wednesday evening, the second assistant foreman of the Hook and Ladder company was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of C. E. Sawtell to the office of treasurer.

Henry Pritchett was chosen second assistant foreman. Mr. Sawtell's bond as treasurer was accepted. On Thursday a Relief association was formed to receive and use the 2 per cent fund to be had from the foreign insurance business of Junction City. "Foreign" insurance means business done by companies not resident of the state.

Each volunteer fire association gets 2 percent of the business done in its city. Where companies are under salary, the fund goes into the city treasury. This fund is to be used in case of accident, sickness or death from service. There is a fund of $14,000 laying in the state treasury for the fire associa tions of the state. This, as soon as a law can be enacted, will be divided among the association of the state.

Manager T. W. Dora in presenting to me amusement-loving public of this city Tuesday evening, November 12, 1895, the grand spectacular legendary drama, "The Black Crook," is exceeding any similar production in the history of the American stage. For two year eight performance a week of this magnificent spectacle were given at tbe Academy of Music in New York City, which was crowded at every presentation by an audience of over 3,000 persona. A very attractive feature of the newly-revived "Black Crook" is the Child ren's Ballet, which delighted thousand of ladies and children during th.

run in New York. There are besides over sixty people engaged in the play. The ecenic display of this magnificent production is really wonderful. The transformation scene in the last act, is a revelation of splendor and datsling brilliancy. This superb work is from the brushes of Harley Merry of New York, and Joseph Clara, a fine scene of the Progress of America.

Of the specialty performer from abroad, there are Rexo A Reno, from the circus Ciainelli. St. Petersburg.

But wait! In this broad field of action. Where mountains we climb every day Where tbe objects we love most at morning, At evening hare faded away. Where Earth's cherished jewels Blip from us, Where pleasure seems hidden in grief.

Where friends one by one are now falling. Oh where can we fly for relief 7 But help Is at hand; for how certain Each trial we pass through we gain More strength for the on-coming conflict, More lore for the ones who remain. And this strength grows equally stronger When friendship, so fond and so true, Is shown by our lorlnir companions. And we're told "look above through the blue." Then we as a school, as companions, Our sympathy, friendship and love Extend to the home where bereaved ones Must look for their strength from above. And strength will come surely and certain, Our trials grow light as we run To tbe guide of all guides, the bless'd Bible 'lis God's will, not ours, that'a done, F.
