Lack of moisture during the past
few weelcs has caused tho farmer and
cardcuer to become uneasy about the
products of his labor and the hot winds
which prevailed during Saturday "anil
Sunday have added to his already long
list of troubles, as unless rainfalls be
fore many days the corn crori will be
a complete failure. AVdbVding to re
ports from various parts of thntlstate,
published in the daily papers the mer
cury has climbed as high as 113, the
hottest weather known since 1890. As
the wheat crop was practically a fail
ure the farmer is depending on his
corn to feed and finance, but unless
the much desired moisture arrives In a
very short time he cannot expect any
results from that source.
As one would naturally suppose the
duties of providing for a family during
these days of strifo and high prices
would almost eliminute from the mind
of a man all thoughts of pleasuro
and plant therein improssions of .a
more serious nature, never the less, in
one instance, tho head of the house
not only has willingly accepted these
duties in a cheerful Jmannor, in the
past, hut has welcomed with joy the
arrival of another member in the
family circle, as on Tuesday night n
bouncing baby girl arrived at tho home
of Mr and Mrs. Floyd Turnure. While
Floyd Is a very busy man lie
finds time to receive congrotulatlons
from his friends, and when addressed
as "Papa" the light of lovo and parent
bliss beams upon his countcuance.
Col. A. B McArthur informs us that
his nuinoer, sm, was omitieu irom tne
list published in tho Argus, and uses
as "Exhibit A" ti copy of tho State
Journal to prove that ho was really
drawn. Our only defonse is that tho
state paper fiom which we copied tho
numbers did not includo the one which
belongs to him. We are inclined to
hope that tho oho wo used is right, ns
wo should dislike to seo Brother Mc
Arthur called away from the excellent
work ho is doing in tho production of
a live, Interesting county paper, tho
only ono of his political persuasion in
tho county, and wc feel that ho is do
Inggood service for our Undo Sam in
giving publicity to tho bulletins and
other information which the President,
tho Provost Marshal General and the
other officers of tho government arc
desirous of bringing to tho attention
of tho public. Should ho bo called to
tho ranks, however, we predict that he
will acquit himself in such u manner
as to bring credit upon both himself
and tho city whore ho has grown to
manhood. Wu should also be pleased
to see him returning with an addition
alelalm upon tho title of Colonel be
sides his connection with nowspaper
work. Webster County Agus,

se heat only a fair sized uudlonco was
in attendance.
Vierra's Hoval llawailaus was tho
first number on the program. This
company was composed of native Ha
waiiuus, except Mrs. Vlerra,and native
musical instruments were used. Tho
entertainment was very fascinating,
tho music being of a nature far remov
ed from the class that is usually found
on Chautauqua circuits.
Congressman Victor Murdock tho
noted Kansas then made his appear
once. Mr. Murdock needs no intro
duction to the people of this vicinity
for any ono who lias kept himself post

of his record as an editor, baseball re
porter, congressman, ami war corres
pondent. He was instrumental in es

Their costumes, ennuciation and slntr
ing made a decided hit with tho people
Tho lecture by Lieutenant N'lohol
was something that was not billed on
tho regular program. The Lieutenant
could not bo classed as an orator but
the manner In which ho brought war
facts before the people wai interesting.
As could bo seen by tho empty sleeve
the great struggle had oxactod Us toll
fromhim. Wo feel that our people,
after hearing him, will have a clearer
understanding of what is taking place
across tho waters.
The Rounds Ladies' Orchostra which
made Its appearance at both tho after
noon and evening performances on
Tuesday was woll worth the price of

Their program contained full concerts,
vocal and instrumental numbers, bells,
whistling and monologues.
During tho afternoon Mr. Colby, tho
