About Prairie Fires.

Editors Western Kansas World:
Within the last three weeks there
have been at least three destructive
prairie fires in our county that have
come under our observation. Not
withstanding all that has been said
about the necessity of preventing
prairie fires they seem to be increas-
ing and we farmers want to know
what, if anything, can be done?
Next to breaking up and cultiva-
ting the soil comes the preservation
of the grass from the ravages of fire.
What can be done? FARMER.
We can only say in reply to the
above very pertinent question that
the law regarding the setting out of
prairie fires is as plain and positive
in its terms as any other criminal
law that has been enacted, but as in
the ofense of horse stealing or muir
der, 1t is always catching before
hanging" To the individual, who
willfully and deliberately violates
the law in regard to setting out
prairie fires, no clemency should be
shown. There is also such thing
as criminal carelessnesS. At the
same time like every other criminal
offense this must he proven. The
only answer we can give Farmer"
is to make an example of the first
offender caught.

SHORT sighted papers talk about
"their interests" referring to farm
ers. The interest of every citizen
is identical with that Of the farmers.
Kansas sells nothing to bring dol
lar into the state aside from the
products Of the soil. Farmers are
sufferers only in common with
blacksmiths, carpenters, merchants
and others. 1t is agriculture that
is suffering, hence all industries de-
pendent upon agriculture suffers.
The contest taken up by the farmers
is our cause, the cause of the great
agricultural interests of the United
States upon which there are nc
party divisions.-McPherSon Free

At o'clock p. m. the cowboy will begin
to get in his fine work. For weeks the
ranchmen all over the state have been or
ganiZing in view of the carnival, and the
exhibition of Workmanship which they pro-
pose to give as a send-off to the festivities
will doubtless astonish the strangers. Col.
Walton's cowboy troop will take up position
on w ashington avenue and show the tender
feet, as well as others, how broucho ought
to be ridden. They will dash along at full
speed, picking up pieces of silver as they
sweep past, the dollars being thrown at
random into the street. Some of the ranch
men Think of taking up polo and challeng-
ing few of the eastern crack teams.
But the event to which the COWBOYS look
forward with the keenest interest is the
great cowboy ball to be given on Tuesday
evening after the coronation. The crown
ing of the new Rex and his spouse will be
an imposing spectacle, and when it is all
over the palace will be surrendered to the
cowmen. None but cowboys and their
girls will be admitted to the dancing floor.
There will be probably 500 couples who
will dance and 10000 spectators
in the big auditorium outside
the floor All the male dancers must wear
the dress of the ranchmen, otherwise
they won't be admitted. There will be one
division of 200 cowboys from the Cache
valley who will come with their girls, and
led by brass band, will file into the hall
just as the music strikes up at 9 o'clock
p. m. No cowboy will be without a part
ner, and Chey will dance with their hats and
spurs on. The floor will be managed by a
committee competent to set any misguided
dancer right without involving a funeral
and 1t is believed that there viii be no pistol
practice while the ball is in progress, owing
10 tho arrangements carefully made by the
managers.

On Thursday competitive drills will be
held at the palace, and in the afternoon the
cowboys will be given a chance to ride at
the rings in their own way, and to do the
arne feats the knights did on the previous
day. The broncho riders are lust aching to
get at those rings. The event of Thursday
evening will be the military ball, at which
all the uniformed companies will take part.
Friday will open with a grand review by
the king and his court, at which all the
military aud the wboys will be present.
On this occasion Rex II. will present a num-
Der of valuable prizes to the victors in the
various contests. A pageant in the after
noon will be followed by the Rex mask ball
at o'clock at the carnival palace, the event
to which the great mass of townsmen and
visitors look forward with most interest.
Every dancer must be in fancy costume and
mask. At the wardrobe room of the
palace there have been provided for
this ball costumes of every con-
ceivable character, including soldiers,
cavaliers, Spanish girls, Frenchmen, Turks,
MexicanS, Arabs, AZtecs, monkeys, frogs,
camels, giraffes, crawfish and almost every
creature in the animal kingdom. Some of
the dresses to be worn by the ladies are ex-
ceedingly pretty. milkmaids, gypsies, prin-
cesses and fairies predominating The ball
will be opened by the maids of honor and
their escorts. When the fun is at its hight
at midnight the order will be given to
unmask, and the last to uncover their faces
will be Rex II. and his royal spouse, whose
identities will then be disclosed to the null
titude for the first time.

week of gaiety and the departure of the

aged in proper style, befitting the newly
created capital of a royal ruler. The troops
on leaving will be reviewed by the king,
and the queen will sing her adieu to her
loyal subjects, the troops joining in the
chorus of ''Good-by" and ''Home, Sweet
Home"
Loads of costumes and other articles for
the ball are arriving from the east. The
Rex order of New Orleans has loaned much
of its regalia and its valuable finery for the
occasion. Everything is in readiness, and
the town is waiting to welcome the royal
train whose arrival means the ushering in
of the gayest time that has ever been known
in this part of the union.

The triumphal march of r X l. and the
inauguration of Rex ii. as monarch of
new western kingdom was all planned many
moons ago. One braclng winter day in
February, when the hills were white aud
before the snow blockade had entirely dis
appeared King Rex sent a messenger all the
way from his royal city of New Orleans to
call upon Mayor kiesel at the city hail. The
envoy was the lord high commissioner, the
Duke of Bathurst, and he told the mayor
that the merry king, being in an adventur-
GUS mood, had decided to found new king
dom in the west aud had done Ogden the
honor of choosing it as the capital This
greatly tlckled the mayor and the citizens,
too. 1t was soon settled that Rex should
come here on the Both of June in person,
accompanied by his royal cousin, whom he
would seat on the throne of the new realm,
with all the pomp and display due to a
klngly coronation, and with festivities sim
liar to those enjoyed by the southern sub
jects of his majesty during carnival week
in the Crescent City. Then the royal mind
unburdened itself by turning over the de-
tails of the affair to committee of distin-
gulshed mobiles, including the Duke of the
Crescent City, Mayor Joseph A. Shake
speare of New Orleans, the Duke of Ferries,
millionaire Thomas Pickles, the ferry mag

(Copyri9ht.)
NEW YORK. June 27.-The great uni

suited, as announced by telegraph, in a
victory for the Yales. The fact that
Robert J. Cook, the famous coach of the
Yale crews for several years past, had not
been able to train the Blues this year, had
somewhat disturbed the confidence of Yale
men in their own invincibility. Percy Boil
ton and John Rogers, two very good men,
had been doing the work in Cooks alb
sence, however, and the condition
of the crew was believed to be all that
could be desired. They had been
training regularly every afternoon, and
since going to New London had been on
the water large part of every day. be-
ginning with spin in pair oars and after
ward sitting down to the Fights. They
rowed in a new shell built at Troy, n. V,
especially for this race. Every man of the
crew was perfect in the long, sweeping stroke
first introduced by Cook, and which had
given Yale so many victories in its contests
with the Harvard crimson.

THEY ARRESTED THE LIGHTNING.
Row Electric Cars Worked During
sunday Nights Storm.
From the Washington Critic.


Those who generally follow the poets adj
vice to ''be not the first by whom the new
is tried" predicted all sorts of dire disaste
when first permit for an electric railroad
was granted in this city: but the great sue
cess of the lexington line, its excellent SER
vice and general freedom from accident,
soon diSpelled the fears that were thus
aroused. 1t was no wonder, therefore, that
when electric cars began running On
the Georgetown and Tennallytown 10 I'd
they should at once become SO popular as to
exceed all the financial expectations of the
projectors. This road has given very gen.
eral satisfaction, especially on Sundays,
when it carries, as a rule, between four ana
five thousand to the picturesque nights
around Woodley. The road is one of the
best, If not the test, equipped in America,
every precaution having been taken in its
building, and every known device for the
prevention of danger having been used.
This was well demonstrated during the
storm of Sunday night. Many hundreds
were still in the shady lanes or on the
grounds of Woodley Inn when the storm
came up, and when they had reached the
cars many were reluctant to enter, fearing
the storm king would resent the audacity
of those who had controlled his forces for
mans good by sending bolt of lightning
to shatter the cars But the people were
really SAFER IN the cars than outside. tor while
the lightning did its best, the cars were I'M
injured Many a bolt played about the
motors and the wires, only to be caught by
the lightning arresters and turned aside
Every car was on time. The lightning
arresters ON the cars worked admirably, as
did all the appliances at the power house
and the officers of the road we're so delighted
at the success of the first great test as to
leave in the mind of the Critic reporter the
impression that the coming OF the storm
was real blessing to them.
