County Superintendent C. E. Rarick has purchased through N. H. Bedard, at the Smith Hardware store a new Yale motorcycle, which he will use the coming year in his work of visiting schools. The work of visiting all the schools involves the traveling of many hundreds of miles, and this machine will be a fine thing for him, as the judges of motorcycles say it is a standard make.

Down at Wichita a man has started in to bread the drought by the rain-making route. We are not at all surprised that a Wichita man should start even a rain-making move. While this fellow claims to be a member of the old school when they produced rain at so much per and depend upon nature to land the money, he now says he has a new and successful theory and started in last Sunday on a Weeks' rain-making campaign and if it rains down there this week it is easy to explain how it happened.

Man is a funny little cuss and hasn't long to stay, he flies around and makes a fuss and then he hikes away. Some men imagine they are great and try to tear up Jack, but each one meets the same old fate and trots the same old track. Great Caesar is dead and turned to clay and so is Cicero, and Alexander's gone away the rest of us must go.

Death of Mrs. Nedrow
Among the pioneers of Rooks county was Mrs. Mariah Nedrow who came with her husband, George M. Nedrow, to what is now Ash Rock township in 1876. Here they lived for many years, later selling out their farm there and purchasing a farm in Valley township, Phillips county, where they lived till about three years ago when they moved to Kirwin. Here Mr. Nedrow died about three years ago, after which Mrs. Nedrow came here and has since made her home with her niece, Mrs. Simon Tarbell. Here she died on Tuesday afternoon, August 17, 1909. Today the funeral services are being held at the Stone Church in Ash Rock township, and the remains will be laid to rest beside those of her late husband.

At the Park Sunday
At Lincoln Park Sunday last there was an immense crowd of people, and the principal address of the day was made by Hon. Richard Yates, Ex-Governor of Illinois. Mrs. Yates is the ideal chautauqua lecturer. Far above anything of a sectional nature, he took a broad ground for his subject, dealing with those elements that go to make up the high type of manhood. A statesman and a politician, yet he did not stoop to a discussion of partisan politics on the Sabbath day. He is an orator, is broad intellectually, is of a refined Christian character, and his class of man is just the class who teach the doctrines that chautauquas were organized to expound.

continued from last week's commissioner's report August 4, 1909: The following bills were allowed: W. F. Hall, mowing weeds in courthouse yard, 75 cents allowed.

Charles Hilgers Sr. Dead Word was received here Wednesday morning that Charles Hilgers Sr. of this county, had died at the home of his son Charles in Colorado, on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. This will be sad news to his many friends here. He was a man universally esteemed by a large circle of friends here. He was once sheriff of Rooks County in which position he was very popular. As a friend and neighbor he stood above reproach, and the death of such a man is always untimely. We understand the remains will be shipped to Plainville for interment.

August 26, 1909 Stockton Review

Jones-Totten
On Sunday last at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Jones, in Sugarloaf township, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Miss Minnie, to Clarence E. Totten, of this place. The newly married couple took the train at Phillipsburg that evening for a tour of Colorado, and will return here later. Miss Jones had contracted to teach in the primary department of the Osborne schools, and we are told she will carry out the contract the same as though she had remained single. She was a very successful teacher in this county for a long time, and her success here won a good position for her in the Osborne schools. Mr. Totten is a young man who has made a success of business here. About five years ago he went in partnership with W. H. Sage in the tombstone business, and the way the business has built up under his care, speaks volumes for his ability as a business man. After Mrs. Totten finished her school at Osborne, this worthy couple will establish a home in this city, and will be welcomed by all admirers of good citizens. the Review congratulates them worthy young people.

A Bold Burglar
Laveen Allen, son Onion Ed Allen of Iowa township, informs us that on Saturday night last, between the hours of midnight and 1 a. m., a strange man entered the residence of his father in Iowa township, by pulling open the screen door. He walked on through two rooms to a bedroom door which he pulled open and entered the room. This room was occupied by Dorcie. Dorcie spoke to him but he was not sociable and failed to answer a question so to who he was. As soon as she spoke to him he made a hasty exit. All the family were aroused and got up at once and started in pursuit. By the time they all got out of the house, the fellow was gone. And the fellow had better leave the country for good, too, as we will wager a year's subscription against a dollar that Allen will get him yet. Allen will shuffle the cards and identify him inside of a month. Allen has unearth many strange things by means of the shuffling of a common pack of cards, and we are sure he will get this fellow, too.

Monday Morning Fire: Just at 6:30 a.m. Monday the alarm of fire was sounded both by the fire bell and the Missouri Pacific freight engine at the depot. The fire was in the upstairs of the old Ralph Wood property near the depot. The house was occupied by Will Hall and family. The fire caught from a defective flue and before it was discovered had made considerable headway. The fire department was soon there, and, although the fire was hard to get at, being in the garret where there were no openings to it, they succeeded in putting it out before the flames got to the surface of the building. The damage was probably $150. The place was owned by Ira Hazen, and we are glad to find that the loss is well covered by insurance. Most of Mr. Hall's household goods were gotten out, but were, of course, damaged somewhat. Hall had no insurance.

John Miller, a farmer living north of Woodston, who died recently, was a poor man, not having a farm of his own, and he left a wife and six small children, so we learn from the Woodston Argus. But he had a policy in the M. W. A. which will give his family $2,000. Comment is unnecessary.

Walter Coslett, son of Joe Coslett, and Harry Coslett, brother of Jim, Dick and Chas. Coslett, of this place, started Monday afternoon on their bicycles for Sedalia, Mo., where Harry lives and where Walter will visit for a while. They wanted to see some of the country, and thought this method of traveling would afford them an opportunity.

Rooks County Fruit
David Washburn recently brought to this office a dozen of what he called the strawberry variety of apples. They were certainly a very delicious apple for this time of year, being very luscious to the taste at a time of the year when most apples are not near enough matured to be good to eat in a raw condition. Mr. Washburn informs us that he will have about two hundred and fifty bushels of apples of the different varieties this year, notwithstanding the late frost that had apparently killed all the buds. Mr. Washburn owns the second farm east of town, and has it improved in a fine shape in all respects, and has one of the finest orchards in Rooks county. Had it not been for the late frosts he would have had thousands of bushels of apples this year.

Cutting Scrape at Nicodemus
Last Monday night Dr. Vanduyn was called to Nicodemus to care for the wounds made on the person of Roy Beverly by Ira Hall, with a razor. We have heard several versions as to how the trouble started but the most plausible is that there was too much booze inside the fighters and that hall was exceedingly ready to use the razor. Beverly was first cut on the nose and lip which required nine stitches from Dr. VanDuyn's needle. He also received three slices just above his belt which required eighteen more stitches. Hall was uninjured. We understand there was a pistol fight in Nicodemus Tuesday night. The respectable population of Nicodemus should make an earnest endeavor to put a stop to such procedures. It should be their one ambition to make Nicodemus worthy to be called a civilized community. At present the vicinity has a hard name and is a disgrace to the colored race. the citizens should make an attempt to live down this hard name and at the same time increase the respectability of the colored race in Graham county. This may be accomplished by cleaning the booze out of the town and handling the tough element with anything but careful hands. Nicodemus will accomplish this to a more lasting degree if she works out her own reform un-aided by other communities than if such help was secured, but, unless this is done, some one else should make an attempt to bring order out of chaos--Hill City Review.

J. H. Lee, who did the electrical work on the light plant here, has been employed by the city council of Ellis, and is now doing similar work there.

A good alarm clock costs $1 and a better one a little more. You can find a good assortment at Chipman's Jewelry. Every one warranted one year.

B. F. Downard of Alton; formerly section foreman here, was in town Tuesday and said he would likely resume his position on the section next month. He has been running a threshing engine in Rooks County since the threshing season began.--Osborne Farmer.

Clyde Kienzle returned to Atchison Monday evening. He has several applications in for positions and the replies will come to Atchison so that he has to be there to hear from them. He expects to get a position with the Santa Fe at Emporia or with the head offices at Kansas City.

The Stockton band gave its last concert under the direction of Leader F. H. Campbell last Friday evening. the concert was enjoyed by all and there was a general feeling of regret at the idea that there will be no more concerts this fall, but we hope to see the band business receive attention later on and arrangements made for a new leader.

F. S. Stroup came up from Garden City, arriving here last Saturday. He was accompanied by Mrs. W. G. Stroup who came for a visit with friends and relatives. Elmer reports everything in good shape at Garden City and that the first sixteen miles of the N. K. & S. R. R. are almost completed and that the road will be built without any doubt.

Complaint having been made that there was too much of the forbidden liquor refreshments being served by Tipton parties, on Friday morning Sheriff F. R. Gants with his deputy, Dan Michael, and a driver started out in a covered wagon in search of the "booze." How well their search was rewarded was shown the next morning when they came driving in with seven barrels of beer, three 3-gallon jugs of whiskey and 24 quart bottles of the same beverage.--Beloit Call.

Jesse Coldiron of Beloit is here visiting with relatives.

A dispute that arose last Saturday at the B. C. elevator over the matter of the division of wheat that J. G. Coldiron raised on the John Maddy place, resulted in blows being' struck, all of which we are sorry to hear. We know nothing of who was the aggressor, Mr. Maddy seemed to be injured the worst, and Mr. Coldiron was brought into police court where he paid a fine.

It is reported that during the late term of court two different county officials donned their drinking cups promiscuously among the thirsty jurors who came to court without providing drinking cups for themselves. It isn't likely that anything will be done with these officials for this crime, but if it should be found out generally what they have done, they would probably lose their reputation with the Board of Health.

Israel Morris came over from Palco last Friday in obedience to a subpoena to appear and testify in favor of the defendant in the case of Mrs. Mary Appleman against the estate of her father, John Roth. After arriving here the defense made very little use of him and he returned home. then the plaintiff sent out for him with an auto, and it seems that the recollection that Mrs. Morris had of the happenings of a quarter of a century ago proved valuable testimony for the plaintiff. Israel was an old friend of John Roth.

Mert Van Allen who was over at Stockton last week, attending the Rooks County Fair, was picked out by some villain as a victim to be robbed, but the plans failed and Mert continued to be the possessor of his purse. An effort was made to get Mert under the influence of ether but in this the robbers were unsuccessful, although it was a narrow escape for Mr. Van Allen. The part most regretted in the whole affair is that the villains who attempted to commit this crime made their escape.--Phillipsburg Post.

The marshal, assisted by E. B. Krager, captured and shot John Gibson's dog last Friday. The dog made war on them and succeeded in getting his teeth into the marshal once, but by that time Krager got in his work with a revolver, and it was all day with the dog. "Yes, the dog bit the marshal, and I am glad of it," said John Gibson. "He was a good dog and only a few days age he ran a fellow out of my sweet potato patch after the fellow had over a peck of potatoes dug, and he went out so fast that he forgot to get his sack, and the next morning I got the sweet potatoes and ate them. The dog kept the neighbors' chickens off my place, and now that he is gone, I am going to take one of my guns I have two good ones and shoot every chicken that comes on the place. I bought me a box of shells for that purpose today."

The people of Marquette, this state, have a friendly feeling for Dr. Cook, who recently discovered the north pole in advance of other scientists and they are inclined to believe his side of the story that is now exciting the public mind. This is brought about by the fact that in 1905 when Mrs. Esther Ross, a Marquette girl, was living at Kensi, Alaska, she was taken ill and was at the point of death. A party of explorers, with Dr. Cook at its head, was in the town and the doctor was called to the bedside for medical service. He treated her successfully. Mrs. Ross and her friends have more than a passing interest in Dr. Cook's maneuvers.--Alton Empire.

The case of Mary Appleman against the estate of her father, John Roth, was decided last Saturday by the jury giving Mrs. Apple,an judgment for a sum equaling almost $900.00. W. T. Richardson, the legatee, and the man who was contesting the case against Mrs. Appleman, says he will arrange at once to take the case to the Supreme court. He thinks there is a principle of law involved in this case that he has never succeeded in getting a jury to properly understand, and that when the case comes before the Supreme court, he will have no trouble in showing that he has a right to all the estate of John Roth by reason of the last will and testament of the said John Roth.

Jay Hall, the fellow who was arrested at first for stealing $8 from Tillie Cooper, and later acquitted through failure of Tillie to appear against him and was later arrested for gambling and fined $10 and costs, remained in jail for a few days, and the Parmenter boys from Hobart township needed hand at their threshing machine. They came in and paid the fellow's fine and costs amounting to $15.50, and took him out to work out the amount for them. After going out there he borrowed some money, amounting to about $4, from them. He worked three days and then came on the Plainville Jubilee. He went to attend that, and this was the last they saw of him.

A traveling man who makes a large number to towns of north central and western Kansas, told us this week that there was not a town in his territory that had a more sound and normal business record all the time then Stockton. He says sales are as large, according to the size of the town as any he visits and that collections are always prompt, indicating that the business of the community is in a healthy condition. He has never lost a cent here and is never asked to hold bills beyond date when they are due. It is a fact that this community is in a splendid financial condition, and that the businesses houses of the place are all on a firm financial basis and are realizing good profits on their investment.

At home. Will appreciate your paying all pass due accounts and notes. W. R. Griffin.

Dr. Oechsli is here from Ottawa, Kans., paying the doctor and wife a visit. He and the doctor are doing some hunting and Dr. Haggart reports that he is enjoying a fine visit. He says his part of the country is ahead of this in point of development but that we have a big advantage over them in point of climate, ours being much more healthy than theirs. Dr. Haggart will remain here several days yet.

A stray hog came along last Friday and jumped into the pen wit A. L. Look's hogs. The hog was thin in flesh and no doubt noticed the nice field of corn growing near the pen and saw that there was chance for good eating. It probably also realized that there was a law against hogs running at large, so it jumped into the pen in order to implicate itself in a violation of the city ordinance. The hog is certainly a very wise member of the swine creation, but Mr. Look would like very much for the owner to come and get it.

...try to say with their daughter, Mrs. Geo. Estep this winter. The house now occupied by Rev. DeLazene will be occupied by J. Q. Adams and family who will arrive here soon from Latah, Wash. But John Maddy will be only three miles from town and he can easily come to town to look after the city senate, and this organization will not necessarily suffer on account of the move.

For Sale--My residence property in this city; fourteen lots, good house well located. A bargain if taken soon. 34-3t M. Prinz.

We are requested by I. N. Estep to state some additional facts concerning the lot from which the body of his deceased son was removed under the direction of his (the son's) wife some time ago. The Review stated that I. N. Estep had no title to the land on which the son was buried. He desires us to state that he had bargained for the land and that he had his check in payment for it deposited in the Stockton National Bank, but at the time the body was removed the deed had not yet been placed in the bank. After the body was removed he had no use for the lot, and he paid the charges for making out the deed, and took down his check. Further facts in this case will be published as they develop.

Coldiron - Reeder Two of our most estimable young people, Mr. Ray Reeder and Miss Edna Coldiron, both of Hobart township, were married at the courthouse yesterday afternoon by Judge Dougherty. This worthy young couple will make their home on a farm nine miles north of Stockton. Their many friends, of which the Review is one, extend the sincerest congratulations to both.

Now Contract to be Let
The time has arrived for the reletting of the contract for the carrying of the mail from Bogue to Stockton and return. The old contract will expire on July 1, 1910. The mail has for the term almost past been carried by Jaby Norton at the annual salary of $852.00. There is also something to be made out of the traffic. Bids will be received soon and the contract let early in the spring.

Winter Potatoes
I agreed when leaving Washington, to use some potatoes in Kansas. One car was unloaded here and most all sold in four days and another is on the road and will be for sale on track at Stockton soon as it arrives. Notice will be given through papers. These potatoes are grown without irrigation, cook mealy and are a number one keeper. Give your orders to J. O. Adams.

Missed the Train
On Wednesday morning the freight started out on time. We are glad to hear it. We hop it will start on time every morning. The train left Frank Ives and his car here. He was loading the car with stock and other goods to shop to south Dakota. He hadn't finished loading when the time for departure cam. He wanted the train to wait but it didn't. He had to lay over a day here. This, of course, was displeasing to Mr. Ives, and there may be those who will think that train should have waited on him. We think the train crew did the right thing to go on time. After all the chastising the Mo. Pac. has had for failure to move on schedule time, no one should condemn it for running on time. If it don't start on time it certainly can't arrive on time. If the crew waits on one man who loads a car, the next man who loads a car will require them to wait on him for the reason, of no other, that he is just as good a man as the other one they waited on, and so the precedent of waiting on everyone is established. Instead of finding fault with the Mo. Pac. for starting strictly on time, let us see what can be done to compel it to get in on time.

Good Roads
Let every one give the automobile club all the encouragement possible. A road that is good enough for an automobile is good for a farmer and is good for the man with his buggy. It is a fact that the roads near this town have got to be fixed up or they will put the town out of business. This is a fact we regret to admit. We have heard powerful censure handed out to the people who have charge of the road business. We know nothing of the real place that the blame should rest. We are not trying to censure anyone. We are desirous of building up instead of tearing down. The move by the automobile club is a good one and the moral and financial support of every citizen should get back of the movement. Let the good work go on.

Remember the Central Electric Theatre every night.

As They See It
Justice David Brewer says no man can raise himself to any great height in affairs of men and at the same time smoke cigarettes. the editor of this paper believes the same thing--showing conclusively where two great minds agree.--Concordia Kansan.

Car of Ford autos soon. The $850 car does the work of other $1,200 and $2,000 cars. W. R. Griffin.

W. H. Coldiron went to Beloit Monday evening to visit his son Jesse and family.
