A Summer Vacation.

At this time of the year nearly every one begins to think of a summer vacation, or an outing of some kind, for a little recreation. For tliose who desire to visit the summer resorts of the east, Niagara Falls, the White Mountains. Old Point Comfort, and numbers of others, there is no line wliirh offers better lacibties or lower rates than the Burlington I oute. if the trip is to be by way of Chicago, the Hannibal St. Joseph's last vestibule tram "l-Jl has no peer; leaving Kansas tity in the evening the traveler takes sunner and breakfast on the dining ear, arriving in Chicago in time for all connections east.

It' he desires to go by the way of St. Louis, he leaves ivansas citv alter sunner and arrives in St. Louis for an early breakfast and eastern con nections. Both of these trams are luxurious in everv resnect. and enuinoed with Pultnan Palace sleeping cars and free leclming chair cars.

For a short trip there is probably no more ueiigntiui summer resort than Spirit Lake or one of the other countless lakes of northern Iowa and Minnesota. Here again the traveler finds he cannot do better than to take the morning train oi ihe K. St. J. C.

It. R. leaving Kansas Citv at II a. and arriving at St. Paul and Minneapolis the next morning Ior breakfast, rrom these points he can make direct connections for summer resorts in all directions.

This train lias one of Pulman's finest buffet sleepingcars through between Kansas City and St. Paul. This is also the train to take for Spirit Lake, but one change being made, and that early in the evening, into a through sleeper to 'the Lake, arriving at destination at 7:15 in the morning. The above trains run daily. Write for all information, tourist circulars.

Weeks Weeks vs Sanford. Motion for a new trial overruled The janitor of the court house spent sevei al davs last week in endeavoring to get the old trap commonly called a court house, in a presentable shape for the holding of court, but despite his efforts the house was in a bad shape. Wabaunsee is one of the oldest counties in the state, and should have a court house that is large enough for the transaction of all county business. The county officials are now cooped up in rooms not near large enough, while some have to office two in a room, and the county attorney and coroner have to have oilices outside the building. Let steps be taken in the near future for the building of a court house that will not only be a pride to our county, but that will satisfy our needs.
