The Sixth Regiment of field artillery passed through the town the first of the week, Col. Maccomb commanding. The Sixth is composed of a fine lot of fellows, and were all in good health and fine spirits. They were on a 350 mile march out of Fort Riley.

Those students neither absent nor tardy in District 14 for the month of October were Orlan Carroll, Marie Carney, Claude Carney, Wayne Harrison, Harold Harrison, Evangeline Harrison, Claude Roe, Lydia Schlotthauer, Sam Schlotthauer, and Bessie Suffield.

J.J. Schneider, of Abilene, and Wm. W. Raipe, of Denver, are at the Elgin hotel where they will be glad to answer all questions and give full information regarding the Champion Gold & Mining Co. They will show our readers some beautiful ore (gold and copper) specimens. Shares may be had at 60 cents per share but it will not be many months before the stock will go to $1.00, par, drawing large dividends. Here is the chance of a lifetime to get in on the ground floor in a legitimate, honest mining proposition. All stock sold subject to inspection and if not as represented, money refunded.

Anyone finding a set of brown furs with white tips, please leave them at this office, and the owner will call for them. The furs mentioned were lost Monday night of last week about three and one-half miles south of town and are the property of Miss Lucile Harrison.

Born to Mr. and Mrs. John Yeagley, last Friday, Nov. 1, a boy.

Purchase Court House Clock

Everybody was gratified a few weeks ago to know the Marion Business Men's Club was back of a move to put a clock in the new court house tower, and with the characteristic move this club has made for itself, the required amount was soon well in hand.

Tuesday evening a representative of the E. Howard Clock People, Boston, and Mr. Sheldon of Sheldon & Son of Marion, met with the club at their regular meeting, which conference resulted in the purchase of a clock.

The clock is to have a 1200 pound copper bell, is guaranteed to not vary over a minute a month for a year, against original defect for five years, and cracking of bell for ten years. Consideration $1202.

The same make clocks are in use at McPherson and Manhattan and are giving satisfaction.

At the same meeting, five more influential business men of the city were made members, thus giving their endorsement to the way the club does things, and for what it stands.
