Friday night » crowd of over 100 men, armed with crowbars, picks and axes, tore up about one mile of the track of the streét railway at Clinton which runs from town to the artesian well park. The street cars have not been operated during the winter, the track was neglected and had become dangerous. Margaret Hereford died at her home at Fredonia, Kan., on the 10th of April. She was in her 71st year. She formerly lived near Virginia in Bates county, where she is held in high esteem by all her old neighbors for many excellent virtues. She was the mother of Jasper Bowman, of Worland. A Kansas City paper is much cha- grined because President Roosevelt had to scramble, with the common herd in St. Lovis Thursday, for a place at the lunch counter. Suppose he did! What of it? Are there not any number in St. Louis who have been scrambling for months for elbow room at President Roosevelt’s pie counter?—Nevada Mail. Through the courtesy of our popu- lar young friend A. C.

Mr. and Mrs Joe McKibben take up their residence in Excelsior Springs this week. They shipped their household goods Tuesday, and will occupy @ neat cottage recently purchased at the springs by Mr. Mc- Kibben. Both Mr. and Mrs, McKib- ben have not enjoyed good health for some time and in recent years have made frequent trips to this health resort. They felt benefitted by the water so concluded to move there for the summer, at least. The best wishes of Tax Times will be with them. A Southern exchange thinks Joe Chandler Harris uttered a great truth when he spoke these few simple words: “If you can’t really be hap- py, pretend that you are happy, and the first thing you know it will bea reality,” and adds: “If you go around with a long face everybody will know that you are down with the dumps and the entire day will be a disagreeable one. Put ona pleas. ant face; the world will think more of you.” The “soldier boys” returned home from participation in the dedicatory exercises of the World’s Fair, on Sun- day morning. On the same train were Col, Mitchell and staff, compa- nies from Nevada, Lamar, Carthage, Joplin, Pierce City. They are en- thusiastic in praise of the services|; and the treatment accorded them. The second regiment band compared favorably with any of them. The 2nd regiment men bore the appear- ance of regulars out for a campaign, both in dress and drill and had very little of the “fuss and feathers.” They looked very much like they could hold their own in a scrap when the odds were any ways near even. The Minister’s Alliance of this city city met at the parsonage of the M. E. Church, South, Monday, April 27, and after devotional service elected officers for the remainder of thie year. Rev. T. L. Puckett of the M. E. Church, South, was chosen Presi- dent, and Rev. E. H. Williamson, of the Christian Church, was chosen Secretary and Treasurer. They will meet Monday of each week at 2 p.m. at the study of the Ohio Street M. E. Church. Friends are cordially in- vited.
