From the Advocate
The Ellinwood Creamery Co. will pay
rs cents for butter fat during the rest
of this month.
There are two men In town who nev-
er speak to each other although they
have the highest respect for each others
wives.
Jake Thul says his wheat crop is
worth $500. 90 more since the big snow
last Thursday night and there are hun
dreds of farmers in the same position.
Ellinwood will be decorated with new
street lamps in few weeks. The order
was gwen by the city council last Mon
day night to Meyer & Son who will
procure them Immediately.
The big six inch snow which visited
this section Thursday night, all disap-
Peared Friday. 1t was big task to
melt that much snow in a single day but
old Sol was equal to the emergency.
1t is getting too warm for ducks and
geese down south, consequently they
are starting nortbward. Several f1ocks
have been seen in this section during
the past week. This is an indication
that spring is near at hand.
There are quite number of women
in this city who keep dogs to drive the
tramps away; still we have not heard of
many tramps being torn to pieces by the
dogs. We don't know which is the
worst, to feed tramps occasionally OF to
feed degs all the time.
Our local detectives deserve consid-
cradle credit for the energy and perse-
verance shown this winter in running
down fugitives from justice. Our dep
uty Sheriff James Barngrover and A. c.
Hilligoss succeeded in following a man
from this city to Great Bend one day
last week and capturing him there,
merely on description they had of the
criminal from sheriff in New Mexico.
The man proved to be the right one
and was turned over to New Mexico
author tiles. IF they escape Jim when
he once gets On their track they must
be soon in their movements.

THE Kansas City Mail has been sizing
up the situation i'm Kansas and has
come to the conclusion that s'the re-
publicans of Kansas have no conception
of their real character. They believe
themselves to be liberal minded
and very patriotic. They regard all
men who differ with them as anarchists
and traitors. The truth is that there
is no one so narrow minded, illiberal.
fanatical, intolerant and bigoted as the
Kansas republican. When the popu-
lists get another chance at them they
will begin to realize their true charac-
ter.''

YOUNG men, never allow yourself to

Steer clear of them. All they want is
to get the benefit of what you make,
and when that is done they are through

to go by yourself rather than to asso-
ciate with such cattle. 'Show me the

John Johnston, Justice Kniseley and
Richard Jones arrested two men who
are wanted for freight train robberies
on the Santa Fe road in New Mexico.
Constable Johnston received telegram
Tuesday night to arrest the parties, who
it appears had brol en- jail at Pueblo.
They have been employed as conductor
and brakeman on the Santa Fe road

committed against the company by the
employees. The men took supper at
the Pacific House Tuesday evening and
struck north that night. They were
captured near the Smoky river some
twenty-four miles north of here. The
Santa Fe railroad detective came in last
night and identified the men, and he
together with Constable Johnston,
started with them for La Junta. A

An Accident to the American Yacht

BREEZE TOO STRONG FOR HER
AN ACCIDENT TO THE NAvAHoE.
The Jaws Of Her GaG Were Broken
and She Had to Leave the Race.


LONDON. Aug. 3.-The yacht race for
the Town prize of 600, open to yachts of
over thirty tons. took place today. The
course covered a distance of fifty miles. The
start was from Cowes. Isle of Wight, and
the yachts sailed twice to and around the
Warner lightship and back.
When the starting gun was fired at 10
O'Clock the Satanita and Valkyrie were well
under way. and they practically crossed the
line together. The American yacht Nava-
hoe followed them closely, and she in turn
was followed close up by the Calluna.
A strong westerly wind was blowing and
constantly gaining in force. Just after the
start it gained a sudden accession OF
strength and blew a whole gale The Ma
vahoe got the best position to windward
and retained this advantage until Leep
shoal was reached.
After rounding the Leep buoy the Sata,
nita set her lib topsail. The Nalkyrie had
her topmaSt housed throughout the race.
The course was covered In the quickest
time on record.
The yachts finished at the following time:
Satanita, 42.15: Valkyrie, 1.5O.3O
The Satanita allows the Valkyrie two
minutes and five seconds, and, therefore,
she actually won the race by six minutes
The Prince of Wales and the German
emperor were on board the Valkyrie during
the race.
AT this point the observers on shore saw
her suddenly keel over until her rail was
well under and everybody thought she was
going to turn completely over. Her main
sheet was played out completely and she
soon righted. She made a second attempt
to catch up with the leaders. but her main
sail fell 1t Is learned that the breaking
of the jaws of her gan was the cause of
the mainsaifs dropping. After a little de-
lay and apparently much excitement on
board. the mainsail WAS again hoisted as
well as could be done under the circum-
stances, and under considerable reef the
Navahoe headed up for Southampton water
II Is stated that the Navahoe is at full
liberty to alter her center board as Mr..
Carroll, he owner, pleases. The yachtsmen
who have been watching the performance
of the Navahoe with critical eyes are now
emphatic in their opinion that she is useless
in a stiff breeze. The advocates of the
superiority of English built racers are much
elated at the poor showing of the Navahoe
in today's gale.
Caliuna also met with an accident. She
fouled the steam yacht Cleopatra shortly
after passing Leep shoal and broke her
gaff and tore her mainsail. She was. there
fore. compelled 20 give up the contest.
The Satanita and Valkyrie sailed well in
tine heavy wind. The former crossed the
finishing line eight minutes ahead of the
Nalkyrie.

paired. The yacht will be ready to race
