PRESIDENT STRONG OF THE

The people of Kansas have a vely
kindly feeling toward the A., T. G S. f.

ing its lines and perfeeting its manage
ment, to Kansas people Dir. Strong has
appeared on the picket lines in every
great movement ahead. The develop
ment of the company's resources, the
management Of its vast business, and
the commercial influence of its prudent
combinations, are grand showings for
this great company which has grown up
in Kansas. The a., T. & S. +. is a
Kansas product. The road and the
state have grown together Fifteen
years ago Emporia WAS the end of the
road going west; from Atchison to En-
poria-about one hundred miles. From
the last annual report OF the company,
We find the mileage of the road and its
branches to be:

laries, called the 'Atchison System,
with mileage in Missouri, Kansas,
Colorado, New Mexico and Texas Of

read any language having anything in
common with the English. the story of
Kansas has been told by the A., 7. & s.

was a special opportunity for word or
a picture in our favor, the Santa Fc
spoke the word or showed the picture.
When our people had great gathering
the Santa Fe carried them at reduced

Another Murder.

A shooting ARRAY occurred in one OF
the dens Of the city Sunday evening and
resulted in the killing of David Barns.
The parties engaged in this ARRAY were
playing cards. The shooting was done
by either Dave or j. W. Mather, who
were engaged in card playing with the
deceased. Barns fired at Dave Mather
and the ball just grazcd his forehead.
Several shots was fred at Barnes: re-
sulting in his immediate death. The
Mather brothers were arrested and are
now confined in Jail The coroner S in
quest is now being held. The affray
has been the cause of much comment,
and there is some expression or justlh-
cation on the part of Mather. Our cit
izcns strongly condemn the course OF
the officers who permit these gambling
dens to exist in violation of law and
decency, and another such occurrence
will lead to the taking of desperate
measurers for the suppression OF these
hell holes.

three large cottonwood trees that stood
in the yard. The trees were transplant

dug, and the trees will be supplied with
an abundance of water. The body of
the largest tree is about one foot in

dirt was removed with this tree. The
branches were cut off to correspond
