A LITTLE GIRL.

Carries Off First Prize at the Oratorical Contest. The oratorical contest at the M. E. Church last Saturday afternoon was a success in every way, except in point of attendance, which was not all that could have been desired. Each township except Marion was entitled to a contestant. Beatrice Conway, of Parr, carried off the first prize of Webster’s International dictionary. Beatrice is but ten years of age but is a natural born orator. Her declamation was “Rienzi’s Address to the Romans,” an especially hard piece even for An older person. Miss Irene Lutz, of Hanging'Grove township, was the winner of the sec ond prize, “Cook’s America.” She rendered the “Whistling Regiment.” Emma Lane, of Newton township, carried off the third prize; Nellie Nichols, of Barkley the fourth; and Bernice Broadie, of Remington, the fifth. The other participants were Charlie Robinson, ofGillam; Rice Port er, of Jordan; Vern Sayers, of Keener township; Thomas Jensen, of Wheatfield; B. White, of Walker township Glen Clemens of Kankakee, and Katie Nevill, of Wheatfield. The last named is but a little girl. She did ex ceedingly well, and a number expressed the opinion that she should have been arwarded a prize. There were twelve contestants, and all did exceedingly well. It was decided to give annual contests hereafter.

The Klines Still Fighting.

Brook Reporter. Another chapter of the celebrated Kline Brothers’ feud was enacted this week and last. P. A. Kline secured an order from the court for John Kline’s ejectment from the farm he has been occupying for a number of years, and the order was given to Sheriff Wildisin for execution last Wednesday. Sheriff Wildisin complied with the order of the court and turned the family out of doors and set out a greater part of the household goods and other chatties on the public highway during the day, and Just in time for the heavy rain to soak the goods. On Thursday night the heavy “east winds” replaced the goods Jnto the house and other chatties at their accustomed places. Friday the sheriff returned and finished the setting out process and turned over possession of the farm to Al, who, with Mike,"took possession of the premises Mid being afraid of the return of the “east winds,” took a fair sized arsenal and barricaded the house, and held possession without being molested until Monday evening, when they left for home. About 9:30 Monday evening the bouse caught fire from causes unknown and was burned to the ground. At present Al. is still in possession and is making arrangements to farm the crops planted by John.

Our Man About Town,

A fellow told us the other day that he can’t do any thinking unless he is all alone. Some people cannot think much even then. * • • There is some talk of starting a crusade for the purpose of converting the people who are following fool religions. * * • A man who got married had nothing to go to house keeping on, so he moved in with his wife. But he was determined to be good to his wife, so he bought her a music box, and he plays it and lets her listen every day as she does the work. A man in tins town says his wife always uses the best potatoes in the cellar. No matter how many they have, nor now good they are, she always picks out the best. Ln that way they always have the best potatoes to use that are in the cellar. » • * We saw a man the other day who had on two pairs ofcufi’s. We asked him if it was for the purpose of putting on an extra amount of style. He said it was not, but his arms are so long that it is hard for him to get sleeves long enough; so he wears two pairs of cuffs to make the sleeves reach. * • We heard of a man the other day who, when he first got married, would rather do without a second cup of coffee than to have his wife get up from the table to get it for him. They have been married several years and last week she applied for a divorce on the ground of cruelty. + * * • At a certain depot, patrons of the railroad had pestered the life out of the agent, asking about the time of day. There was a clock in the office but uyo know that doesn’t make any difference when folks want to ask questions. To stop all the bother, the agent put up signs bearing the following inscriptions: “This is a clock,” “It runs,” “Itkeepttime,” “It is correct.” But it diden’t decrease the number of questions by as much as one per cent. » • A It happened down on Weston street the other evening, where there are probably more children to the square* inch than on any other street in the town. A Cullen street housewife was complaining that the children were a nuisance, when the mother of three interesting little tots became indig nant and relieved her mind to the 0. S. H. samething like this: “Where under heavens .do you expect the children to play and what do you expect us to do with them. I would like to know what are you going to do when you go to Heaven and find children there. You and the rest of the old “heifers” will have to be put in a box stall by yourselves where you cannot be annoyed by the children.” While the mother’s language was not very elegant, it no doubt expressed her feelings to a T, and every mother will sympathize with her in her indignation.

A little boy about two years old was playing with a black cat. If he had been older he would have been wiser. But being but a kid he didn’t know any better than to play with a black cat. Iftheoathad been any other color, he would have played with it just the same. And besides, the color of the cat has nothing to do with this story. It gives It no color whatever Suddenly the cat took offense at something the boy did. Oats freqnently take offense at things boys and dcgs do. The cat scratched the little fellow and that was too bad. One could not help feeling sorry for the boy, but it was made leas sad when the women begin throwing things at the oat. The fl ret woman picked up a newspaper and threw It at the cat, but it didn’t care to read newspapers. Oats never do. It may have been a “yellow” sheet, anyway. The other woman threw a handful of grass, but the cat only laughed. It had been to grass. The cat ran across the street and eat down on the curb stone to laugh at the curves the women were throwing.' They would have been the fortune of a baseball pitcher, but as they weren’t in that business, their fancy throwing was all lost. It may be well to add that the little boy suffered no serions damage.

THE CITY FATHERS.

Report ot Their Proceedings Tiseeday Nlgld. Sidewalks were ordered on Van Rensselaer street in front of A. Leo* pold’a business rooms north of Duvall's livery barn, and 160 feet on Elm street in front of John Mann’s lota. The marshal was also instructed to see that the cement walk previously ordered at Liberal corner on Front street be put in at onoe, to see that a gate is put at the oeller stairway entrance at the Forsythe building. Councilman Spitler came near filling down th»stairway one day and as a councilman is more valuable than a gate, the latter was ordered. Ralph Fendig again entered a kick against the hitch ratch on Harrison street, and the marshal was ordered to clean up under them, and if this does not answer, to remove them. The bond of T. J. Sayler & 00., for the street improvements In the sum of 930,000, with Delos Thompson as surety, was approved. The ordinance providing for the letting of the public printing was passed. Dean, McOolly and Kannal voted against it. Spitler, Ohlloote and Porter voted for it. Mayor Eger oast the deciding vote. Dean, McOolly and Kan nal are to be oom mended for their votes; Spitler and Porter are not. Ohlloote and Eger, being democrats, stood by their party papers in whose interest the ordinance was drawn, which was right and proper. As the city had been getting its printing at half price there was no call for such an ordinance. Bids will be received the first meeting night in August. The auditing committee of the fire department reported 9240.35 in the relief fund. Specifications for the improvement of Van Rensselaer street were approved.

The Mayor was authorised to sign a contract with the Ooa) Bluff Mining 00. for coal at the following prices: Screenings, 91.50 per ton; mine run, |z,ls per ton, delivered in Rensselaer.
