WRESTLING MATCH
EMEST UHI
The local devil fiish has a handicap match at the opera house with
CHAS. DELIVUK
Champion of Oklahoma, in which the latter, at 178 pounds, must
pin the home man, at 160 pounds, three times in an hour to win.
From the Manchester Journal of
October 25,1894.
W. H. Hagar has out about 800
acres of wheat, and says that if we
get a good rain soon, he will put
out about 200 acres more.
A woman in the eastern part of
the state named her two girls Gas-
oline and Kerosine. They are two
pretty nice girls. The old man’s
name is Pete Roleum. The fellow
who marries into that family may
have smooth sailing and may not.
But we should think that sparking
in the immediate neighborhood
would be rather a dangerous pas-
time. It is said that one fellow
tried it and hasn’t benzine since.
But then this story is in the crude,
and should be refined.

IN HISTORY
What Some of our People were Dolnp
Seventeen Years Ago.
—Charley Watkins, for the past
eighteen months the right hand man
at the Badger lumber yard at this
place, left last Friday morning, In
response to a telegram from the com-
pany, instructing him to report In
Kansas City the next day. Charley
didn’t know just what was In store
for him, but it Is pretty generally be-
loved that the company Intends to
reward his good work by giving him
a yard.
—A gentleman at one of our board-
ing houses, after having beaus Bhoved
at him each meal ;for two straight
weeks, asked the waiter to please
read the eighth verse of the thirtieth
chapter of Hebrews. We imagine
this will make some of our readers
get the dust off their bibles.—Ripley
Mail.

Well, vote early and late for your
favorite young lady, and thus help
her secure, absolutely free, a beauti-
ful S350 piano.
Perhaps no class of people meet
with so much or so severe criticism
as teachers. Much of this criticism
is unjust and exists solely because
parents and others listen to unveri-
fied reports and do nothing to ac-
quaint themselves with the real in-
ner workings of the school room.
Any person experienced with child-
ren knows that these reports, even
when absolutely truthful from
their point of view cannot be relied
upon. Again, anyone who has the
training of children, has experienced
the mortifying fact that even the
best trained children sometimes
woefully lapse from their know-
ledge of good manners and courtesy
when away from home and among
other children. Some mothers will
not tolerate any correction of their
children’s manners by the teacher
taking it as a direct insult to their
home training, when it is but the
result of childish heedlessness or
self-will. No greater injury can be
done a teacher than to condemn
her at home in the presence of pu-
pils. There are many—they usual-
ly allude to a teacher as school-
marm—who persist in believing and
encouraging that a school teacher
is never to be regarded with other
than suspicion.—Caldwell Advance
—Things in Northern Africa have|
been pretty quiet this week, to be in
a state of war. There were morel
men killed in two minutes during the
war between Japan and Russia thau
has been ikllled during the three
weeks of Italiau-Turklsh war. It ap-
pears to be assuming the proportions
of a South American rebellion. There [
is plenty of time for a change, how-
ever. History records many lnstan-1
ces where both of these nations have
fought with ferocity. -ChandlerTrib-

he came out, but Mason is a pretty
bright boy, and there Is little doubt
o' his paaslag the examination with

Don’t worry about the condensed
milk business playing out. One of
the men at the local factory says
that of all the milk that has been
shipped from here since the plant
started, not over five cars have gone
to points ontside of Kansas. If the
Helvetia company, with all its
eight plants working to full capaci-
ty for the next four months were
to not book a single order in that
time, it could hardly catch up with
orders now on file. As the cities
grow larger and the centers of pop-
ulation become more congested, the
demand for canned milk is bound
to increase. Folks in this com-
munity may feel free to fit up for
an extensive dairying business with
a full assurance that the demand
for their product will never grow
much less than it is at present.—

—Going to Renfrow Saturday, I
found a nice new house, nearly finish-
ed, just beyond the Fall creek bridge,
that nobody had told me about. Up-
on inquiry I learned that it was the
proDerty of A. S. Riggs, who has oc-
cupied one of Matt. York’s farms and
now has a piece of his owu, almost In
town. Glad to see Mr. Riggs get
closer to us.—Caldwell News.
-Outer K. Benedict, former editor
of The Oklahoma City Daily Times,
has launched a new farm paper—The
Oklahoma State Farmer—which will
appear twice a month. The new pa-
per contains twelve different depart-
ments, and is edited by fourteen edi-
tors—all residents of Oklahoma and
experts in their respective Hoes. The
Oklahoma State Farmer Is well worth
the subscription price, 50 cents a
year, or three years for II.
—Waktu Is certainly loyal to her
foot ball team. The “bugs” down
there are trying to get the Santa Fe
to run a special train to Anthony
November 4th, the day eet for the go
between Waklta and Anthxiy.
That’s what wecall going some. And
by the way, why doesn't Manchester
have a foot bell team? Haven't we
the material?
—Henry House was so uufortuaate
as to lose his barn last Wednesday.
Several tons of feed, together with
lot of harness and Implements, was
also destroyed by fire. While we
have heard some rumors as to the ori-
gin of the fire, we have been unable
to learn definitely how it started.

—‘‘Buffalo” Jones played the big-1
gest Joke on Theodore Roosevelt that
was ever pulled off on the Srenuous]
One. After the ex-president had
hunted the big game with the most I
powerful of modern firearms, the
Kansas ranchman went into the jun-
gles with nothing more formidable
than a rope whacked the lions and
the rhinos on the nose, and hog-tled
