KOfTO'.' *'JRiS|S OUT
Word comes from Kenton that the
Cimarron County Bank. Guy W .
Slack's big mercantile establishment,
Crit Allen's hall building, the tele
phone exchange building and a res-
idence buiding were completely de-
stroyed by fire Tuesday night. The
origin of the fire is unknown but
reports said that it started in a
grain house belonging to the Slack
store. The switch board was sav-
ed from the telephone building. The
loss win run up toward a hundred
thousand. It is not known hre how
much insurance, if any, was carried,
it was not thought, last reports, that
the bank records and papers were
damaged as the vault was consid-
ered fireproof. The Bank building,
part of Slack's and Allen's hall were
stone structures. Slack carried a
forty to fifty thousand dollar stock.
For County Clerk
The News is authorized to announce
Charles Kicks of Boise City precinct
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for county clerk.
Charley is a young man and makes
his home with his mother on the
farm just south of town. He is a
steady young man and he and his
brothers are making a success farm-
ing and have a nice place. Ho has
never taken a great deal of stock
in politics and only became a can-
didate at the solicitation of his
friends. This i one case where it
can be said of a truth that a can-
didate was put out by his friends,
for Charley had not thought of it
unt;>. he was solicited to enter the
race by his friends. If absolutely]
clean morals and unquestionable hon-
esty a!'-' Vvhat is sought in public
officials then he should be a strong
candidate as they do not make their,
any cleaner than Charley Ricks. He
has grown up right here among us
and there has never been anything
in his life that even had to be wink-
ed at. He is superintendent iijfhe
Sunday school and a leader in the
Epworth League, and has a'.ways boon
active in church affairs ard things
which tend toward better social ard
religious life. His educational qual-
ifications are sufficient. H? was
raised a Democrat of Missouri stock
and will make good- if given a chance.
He solicits your suport at the pri-
mary with the promise that he will
make the best campaign possible in
the fall election.
A WEEDING
Miss Anna May Snodgrass and Mr.
Jesse J. Burrow were married last
night at the Sheriff Simpson home
and left via jitney for the groom's
homo in the Griggs community.
They had intended having Rev. Tom
Steele tierform the ceremony, but he
decided to go to his claim near Hur-
ley, so rather than send for him
they called in Justice McKinney. He
did not know what he was wanted
for so appeared in his carpenter suit,
and when he learned what was want-
ed begged for time to go dress up,
but they were in a hurry and he
performed a hurry-up ceremony and
they went on their way rejoicing.
The bride is one of the most pop-
ular teach"rs of the county and is
loved by a large circle of friends;.
She had just completed a very suc-
cessful term as primary teacher i'i
j tha Boise City schools. She posses-
I "s al1. the qualifications for a de-
irabb. lovable housewife. The proem
is a progressive, prosperous farm re
of the Griggs community and is a
candidate for the office of commis-
sioner of his township. Both were
originally from Missouri but had m.-v-
«,r met until alter locating here. The
New- joins with their many fricrds
in congratulation^ and good wishes.
NEW MAIL LINE A POSSIBILITY
!)r. Steele has been making himself
useful by agitating a mail line from
Boise City to the west end of the
county and last week had a letter
from the Powers That Be up at
Washington stating that the mat-
ter would be investigated by the
Department and he would be noti-
fied later what thei r conclusion
may be. Dr. Steele suggested a
line to Kenton but they seem to
favor one to Wheeless as it would
save mileage and yet render a sat-
isfactory mail service between
the central and western parts of
the county.
Postmaster Allen of the Boise City
office has been requested by the De-
partment to report on the Wheeless
. no and he has reported in favor of
establishing the line. This line has
been sought by the people at both
ends for a long time and it is hoped
by all concerned that we may soon
be granted this additional mail ser-
vice. It would be well for as many
as will to write to our congressman
and Senators urging that they use
their efforts to secure the estab-
lishment of the mail route. It will
help.

SCHOOL CLOSES
The Boise City school closed a very
successful term Friday night with a
very appropriate program of music,
drills, recitations and a play by the
High School pupils. There was a
largo attendance and all seemed to
enjov the occasion. Miss Snodgrass
is already married and rumor has
it that Prof. Finch will soon be,
n the term is proving highly suc-
cessful all the way 'round.

A Symbol of Health .
The Pythagorians of Ancient
Greece a'.e simple food, practiced
t erance an'' purity. As a badge
they used the five pointed star which
they regarded u> a symbol of health.
A red five pointed star appears on
oach package of Chamberlain's Tab-
Ms and still fulfills Its ancient mis-,
sion as a symbol of health. If you 1
are troubled with indigestion, bil-
ousn ss or constipation, get a pack-
age of these tablets from your drug-
gist. You will be surprised at the
quick relief which they afford. Ob-
