Items from the North Side of the River cover insect problems for oats near Elmont and social calls from G M Chase of Baloit and D N Thompson of Morganville. Local shops advertise goods from bicycles and wagons to dental work, ice cream sodas, and hearse services, with events including a May 17 concert and a strawberry festival. A runaway incident near Hoyt injures no one, and the Shawnee Horticultural society plans a May 20 meeting.

Woman Tramp Walks from Cripple Creek to Kansas City
Mrs Sarah Coleman aged twenty six travels on foot from Cripple Creek to Kansas City to find work after her husband deserted her with two daughters. She walked four weeks covering over five hundred miles, staying in hotels for meals and lodging, and earning small sums at ranches. She plans to reach Kansas City to join an uncle and continue seeking employment. She notes kindness from others and avoids begging, with children in a Denver convent.
