JACKS FORTUNE.
In What It Consisted and How It
Came to Him.

JACK layton WIS twenty -Aoui years
Of age. He was handsome. Is that
term applies to man; he was studious
in an extraordinary sense; he vas as
sober as a cold-wster advocate; he was
a lawyer. and he was as poor as o
church mouse and prouder than Luci.
fer before he was exiled from Heaven.
Jack Dayton was as brave as a Ben
gal tiger, and his proyerty never
seemed a burden and a reproach to
him before he met Gussie Vandorn.
After that momentous meeting at
Saratoga he felt that he could hang
himself because he had not been born
with a silver spoon in his mouth.
The fact of the matter is Jack Day
ton was in love from the soles of his
feet to the crown of his intellectual
head. and because he was poor his
pride stood between him and the rich
woman who had stolen his heart in an
unguarded moment.
He had been practically raised in a
iawyer's Office. He had entered it at
the age of twelve as general utility

In conversation with our friend MI.
Stoke, of the Barton County DEMO
Graf, we we're led in the course of re
marks to inquire how it was that the
democracy of Barton county were of
late coming to the front and getting in
SO many county officers. The answer
came that there had been vast in
crease in the population of Barton COM
posed principally of young men who are
as a rule, democrats. The same ex-
planatiOn comes from Sedgwick and
Reno counties, where more overwhelm-
ing majorities are reported. Of course
we do not expect to make any very
great inroads among the old men, who
are living over again, their lives of
twenty-five years ago, but it's they oung
men are getting in their work for de-
mocracy. Samuel J. Tilden once said
that in moving together old men would
grunt while young men would lift.
While the fossils argue that the tax of
war times is what We need in the times
of peace, the strong arm of democracy
is trying to lift the vehicle out of the
mire of high tariff in which it has been
plowing for quarter of a century,

The REPORT that the extension of
the Mo. P. would be built from Great
Bend to Hudson is entirely erroneous.
Me. 2. officials stated to our reporter
in Great Bend this week that the eX-

this road connecting us with Great
Bend and the line extension continued
from Hoisington to Hays City we can
compete with any point in the county.

A good story, which wouId be worth
full one hundred cents on a dollar in a
political campaign, is being told con-
cerning two citizens of this county.
During the campaign last fail one OF
the candidates in the field received
communication reading something like
this: Meet me at' (naming a certain
retired spot on the prairie, not necessar-
lily ''shady oIenn') with 500 III your
pocket, and I can get you thirteeA

fridays Suicide.

Saturday the intelligence reached
this city that young woman had COM
mitted suicide at the home of Stephen
Brown, 13 miles north of this city.
From Coroner S. j. Shaw we get the
following facts:
Carrie Chaplin, the victim of an un-
timely death, came to Barton county
about one and half years ago, from
vicinity of Fond du Lac, Wis, and
made her home with her aunt, Mrs.
John w. Smith. She was young
woman some nineteen years old, pre-
possessing in appearance, was liked
and respected by all who knew her and
had made many friends in the neigh
Dor hood. She was at the time of her
death engaged to be married to young
farmer neighbor, and apparently had
nothing but some unhappy experience
in connection with the home of her
adoption to cause her to take the fatal
step she has.
Friday afternoon she left the kome
of Nh. Smith and going to Brow n s
about SundOwn was Immediately seized
with deathly agony and died in few
moments. She had around her neck a
small ribbon to which was attached a
small vial half full of arsenic.
DR.. Shaw reached the place about
10 a. m, Saturday and Immediately
empaneled jury composed of John
Wilkins, John Howard, Nelson Comp
ton, Chas. Watson, and Orvir Baldwin.
The jury carefully examined all the
circumstances in the case and gave it
as their verdict that the woman came
to her death by arsenic poisoning, the
drug having been administered by her
own hand.
1t came out during the inquest that
the woman had told some of the neigh
bors she ''had rather be dead THAI 1--we

IT Is the every day occurring facts
that go to show to the outside world
what Kansas is and will be. II re-
ouires no long winded editorials in our
daily and weekly press to state to
the people who have an anxious eye up
on us that Kansas is first in wheat,
first in corn, first in climate, first in
fruits and Vegetables, first in all that
GUS state.

In ORDER that Kansas has all her
resources fully developed, in order that
we know-if such knowledge is pos
sible-the full value of this glorious
state, it is necessary that geological
survey be made of the country, and we
are glad to note that already the mat
ter is being agitated. From the Man
haitian Indust1ialiSt we clip the follow
ing:
''Prof. Robt. Hay, Assistant Geolo-
gist of the Kansas Board of Agricul-
ture, says: The matter will be urged
upon the next legislature, and we be-
lieve they will recognize the import
ance of the measure. There is certain
ly great need of a geological survey in
this state. The little that is known of
our mineral resources and the strata of
the earth is in private hands. A sur
vey would probably result in the dis
covery of coal mines which are I'M
known and would give us the depths at
which we may expect to find coal, salt,
and other minerals. AS it is now,
prospectors dig for coal; sometimes
they are successful, and often they are
not successful; their prospecting how
ever is of very little benefit to the

WE CAREFULLY scanned the columns
of the Claflin Gazette this week in search

fact that 'Buckskin's wife" had spread

the boys got focus on him.

Thus far this spring we have had no
unhealthy boom in real estate What
we mean by an unhealthy boom is the
rushing in of property owners and
placing their lands in the hands of
real estate owners, calling around every
day and raising the price on them just
as soon as the movement in transfers
begins to be bit lively. Of course We
are here to make money and we have
the country that will make us money,
but we can better afford to be satisfied
with reasonable profits on our invest
ments than to attempt to rush sales or
values simply because the demand be-
gins to be greater. If our land owners
keep these facts in mind and be little
broader in their views they cannot but
see the truthfulness of our statements.

ALUM BAKING POW DIRS


The result of Il trial just concluded at

have salutary effect in checking the sale
of one class of aduterated food Two
mennamed Moon and Akerlll, were arrest

IN violation of the State food adulteration
act. The indictment was for both selling
DaKlng powders that were inferior, adul-
terated ana injurious to health by reason
OF being made from alum, and for selling
them under pretense that they were q
wholesome, cream of tartar baking powder,
A stubborn defence was made, the claim
being set up that baking powders were
not articles of food and that the powder
the defendants were selling, which was
known as Glletts. was standard article
of trade, aud that alum baking powders
Inferior to it, like Davis and others, were
being sold by other dealers in the same

The decision OF the United States SUI
pears to be all that the Bell telephone
monopoly could desire. To the ordinary
mind 1t would seem that electricity being
one of the powers of nature, ought to be
available to all men upon equal terms
and that the most the inventor of Il new
electrical apparatus ought to be allowed
to claim, should be a patent on his appara
tus. The court, however, goes far beyond
this. !, correctly reported, it has not only
sustained the patents owned by the Bell
company upon the particular mechauisms
used in telephoning but gives that com
pany patent upon the art of conveying
or reproducing at distance audible
speech by means of electricity! SO that
any apparatus that may be devised for
telephoniug, no matter how different from
or superior to that in use, would be an in
fringement on the Bell patent! All this in
face of positive evidence that an appara
tus which did convey musical sounds by
electricity, and could convey articulate
speech, had been invented and constructed
before the Bell telephone was invented
1t is not surprising that three out OF
seven of theijudges should have dissented
from this opinion. The wonder is how q
majority of the court could arrive at any
such result. The decision may be law-it
has.gOt to be law, anyhow, but 1t is "crown
ers quest law"-law which will be the
death of invention and the sacrifice of ali
public interests, IN the matter OF the tele
phone.
