A fostering Nest.

Saturday evening Policeman ]. p.
Grinstead arrested Will Chapman and
D. W. Holt in Mrs. S. c. LaRue'S
rooms in the Sumner National bank
building. They were having a fight
and each one was cut and bleeding.
When taken before the police court
Chapman became very laxative aud
proceeded TO give away the whole out
fit. He claimed 1t was a regular
bawdy house and proceeded to detail
his experience as one Of It's patrons.
As a result the whole outfit was
arrested and taken before the police
court.
The facts developed were that Mrs.
LaRue is the woman who formerly
lived at Conway Springs and had her
husband John LaRue arrested for
attempting to poison her. She has
been living recently with D. W.
Holt. With them regularly was
Lola O'Brien, a sister to Holt
About a week ago she married Clark
O'Brien, who was recently released
by the comfy commissioners from
Jail, where he had been confined for
theft, we believe, in the southwest
part of the county. Two recent
arrivals, apparently, were May Pauley
and young man named A. E. Dilley.
All seven of them were in police
court at once. Holt unblushingly
acknowledged that the O'Brien girl
was his sister. Chapman and Holt
plead guilty to assault and battery
and were each fined $1,000 and costs,
Each Of the other five were fined S. OF
and costs as inmates of a house Of
prostitution. A suggestion from
Holt that JOB lot" prices ought TO bt
made less than the regulation fine.

The n, w, A, BANQUET.

A large number of lodge members
and invited guests filed the spacious
ok. P. hall Friday evening. The Occa.
sion was the grand banQuet'given by
the M. WA. of the city. The NJ. WA.
had left nothing undone in their eff.
forts to prepare for the best enter.
tainment. The early part of the
evening was passed in social CONVEX.
SatiOn until all had arrived, when DR..
J. G. Reid took up the gavel and sum-
moning the attention of the guests he
announced that the exercises of the
evening would begin. After a shsrt
address on behalf of the order by A.
A. Richards, the following program
was very creditably rendered:
Song. ...................Qu Quay Barnett
RECITATION. ..............JeSSie Todd
Song. Rocked in the Cradle
OF the Deep. .AeOlian Quartette
RECITATION. ............COra PlummeT
COrnet Solo. Fred Smith
Baritone Solo,. DR.. D. P. Wetzel.
After the rendition of the program,
the guests were informed that supper
had been prepared at Huffman's Din
ing parlOr, whence they repaired.
The supper was simply the best of
every thing good to eat. Three tables
almost the length of the room were
loaded with the most palatable fruits
and productions of skill in the culln-
airy art. The guests enjoyed very
much the welcome and generous spir-
it in which they were received and
entertained by the members of the
M.W.A., and a more successful event
has not been held this season.

Social Hours.

A party was given Friday evening
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Rogers, in which several
young folks passed a very pleasant
social time. The usual games and
social pastinies constituted the enter
tanning features Of the evening. A
delicious course of refreshments COM
pleted its success. The young people
whiled the time away until a rather
late hour. Among those present were
Misses Emma, Nellie and Francis
Holmes, Rosa MOrey, Carrie and
Lizzie Keifer, Messrs. and Mesdames
Ed. Stewart and Jesse Mulvaney, and
Messrs. John Creech, Matt McFadden,
Jake Adamson, Reuben Starbuck,
Charlie YOuman, John Nichols, Joe
Fountain, Will Arnold, John Nolner
and Cornell Guthrie.

A Compliment.

A supper complimentary to Ernest
c. Lyman was given last Thursday at
the home of Mr.. ]. N. Hoovers on
north Jefferson avenue. Mr.. LYMAN
will leave soon for Wichita, where he
will engage in the dry goods business.
The social event was a token of mer.
tied esteem. Several of his young
friends took supper with him and
made one of his latter evenings in
Wellington one of the pleasantest of
his life here. Mr.. Lyman recently re-
turned from Kansas City, where he
had been attending school and acquir-
ing an education which will ft him
for success in his new business life.
He is a young man of noble qualities
and his many friends in Wellington.
though regretting to see him leave.
heartily desire his future success and
prosperity.

faction but there is not that unanim-
ity among the cattle-men on the
beneficial results Of feeding wheat
there is among the hog raisers.
Hardly day passes but some notable
sale of hogs which were fed on wheat
is made at the stock yards. In fact
1t has become so common that it fails
to attractspe;ial attention any longer.
There is an instance however, which
is deserving of special mention. and it
is the shipment made to this market
recently from Pawhuska, in the
Usage country, by Julian Trumbly, a
half-breed Indian. There were sixty
head in the lot, and they averaged 343
pounds, and were purchased by the
Armour Packing company at s425,
the top price for the day on which
they were received. 1t was decided
to make a test Of these wheat fed
hogs in order to see how they dressed
out. The result was very satisfact-
DRY, for as the butchers block is the
test of meat with fat cattle, so it is
with fat hogs, the dressing out of this
lot having been ST. per hundred
weight, while the general run of hogs
usually dress out about eighty-two or
three pounds. The highest has been
lightweight pounds, but they we're
an exceptional lot. These we're

District Court Business.

On last Thursday the jury in the
case of the Springfield Fire & Marine
Insurance Co. VS.. A T.& ST. Rid Co.
returned verdict for 1868. 81 in favor
of the plaintiff.
The Atlantic Trust Co. VS.. Hud-
Speth ct al, the sheriff sale of real
estate was confirmed.
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Co. VS.. Hedgcock ct AL, judgment was
rendered in foreclosure for $S14.4O.
Allen VS., Freeman ct al. judgment
in foreclosure was rendered by de-
fault against Henry C. and Elizabeth
j. Freeman for 1920
McNear VS.. Haworth ct al. judg-
ment in foreclosure was rendered by
default against Theodore and NJ. AL
ice HawOrth for S720.
LIE greater portion OF the time Of
the court since last Thursday has been
taken up with the trial of the case of
The Consolidated Cattle Company VS..
A. L. Il. 5. f. Rid. Co. before a Jury.
This action grows out of a large ship
ment of cattle made by the plaintiff
over the defendants railroad from
Clarendon, Texas, on December 6,
1892. The train was caught in Sc
we're storm and blockaded near Kiowa
so that the stock did not reach the
markets for several days after they
should have been there in the natur-
al course of shipment. The plaintiff
seeks to recover some $3.50 as dam
ages. The prospects are that the
case will occupy all this week.

much power as the county attorney
In the management of the case and
shall receive 80 per cent Of the fines
collected.
If the county attorney fail to COM
ply with the law after receiving no
tice of a violation Of the law any per-
son may file charges against him in
the district court and it shall only be
necessary to allege three things ~
that he was served with notice; (2)
that he did not begin proceedings
within ten deys; 49, that intoxicating
liquors we're sold.
The county attorney is to answer
and be tried on these three questions
before Jury. If the allegations are
found to be true the court is to de-
clare the Office vacant and appoint a
new county attorney. In case an ap-
peal is taken it is not to restore the
depOSed officer to his office pending a
final decision.
In proceedings against a county
attorney, the plaintiff may designate
some attorney to appear for him and in
addition to judgment of custer the
court shall award such attorney SIS
for fees.
There is only'one trouble with this
bill. Its provision that the citizen
who serves the notice on the county
attorney shall receive 80 per cent of
of all fines collected is clearly uncOn-
stitutional. The constitution pro-
yides that ALL fines shall 60 to the
school fund of the county and the
supreme court has decided that a
similar law which gave part of the
fine imposed upon railroads for fail
ure to whistle before crossing high
ways was unconstitutional for this
reason. With this provision elimi-
rated, for this reason, this bill should
become a law and it will furnish a
means by which the law may be en-
forced in any community.

Not Entitled TO Land,
Pawnee Times-Democrat.

Pawnee Times-Democrat.
The United States attorney gener-
al, at the request of the secretary of
the interior, has rendered an opinion
that will effect hundreds Of people in
this.and other counties in the Strip
and also many ia old Oklahoma
The opinion is that a person who
has received the full number of acres
of land allowed under the precmption
law cannot enter an additional 100
acres under the homestead law.
There are many people in this
county and nearly half the settlers in
the western counties who preempted
land in Kansas and finding they could
not make living in farming it, sold
or left il and came TO this country.
We are sorry that this question has
been agitated. God knows we have
gone through enough trials and tribu-
latiOns without having this new
question to meet, and we sincerely
hope that the interior department
will not enforce this order.
The point should have been careful
ly considered before the opening, and
il not at that time forever barred.
It's a burning shame to bring it up at
this late day and date.

Prohibition Amendments.

Daily Mail.
There are two amendents to thu
prohibition law now pending before
the house of representatives both O
which we believe ought to and in al
probability will become law. Thu
first one simply changes the wore
land" to "Or," but it removes the
requirement under the present law
that every one convicted of a viola
tiOn of this law must be sent to jai
and leaves that part of the punish
ment discretionary with the court
which imposes the penalty. This
amendment has been recommended
for passage by a unanimous vote Of
the house temperance committee.
We believe they are working on the
right lines. Fourteen years expert.
ence has demonstrated the fact that
the greatest hindrance to the enforce.
ment Of the prohibition law Is the
innate conviction in the minds of an
overwhelming majority of the people
that the present penalty is too severe
As a result of this conviction
Sherif'S are blind to obvious viola.
tiOnS of the law, county attorneys
fail to consider the evidence as Suffi.
cient to warrant a prosecution, wit.
neSSeS' memories fail them when
called upon to testify, jurieS hunt fol
preteXts to acquit. We do not be.
lieve this amendment a panacea fol
all these evils; but we do believe that
it would lessen each of them; that it
would lead to a better enforcement OF
the law; that it would render a much
larger revenue to the state from the
violations that always will occur nc
matter what the penalty may be.
The second amendment takes hold
of the county attOrneys's Office in a
a business manner. 1t provides that
Investigations instituted by a county
attorney shall be held before a pro-
bate judge or a justice of the peace
who would have authority to COM
NIT witnesses.
When any county attorney is nOti-
fed in writing af a violation of the
law it shall be his duty to make an
investigation and if the result shows
that the prohibitory law has been
violated, he shall also begin suit
against the owner or lessee of the
property rwhere such violation was
found, who is made liable to a fine of
from $50 to $500 and judgment
against the property shall be a first
lien upon it and all collections from
this source are to be converted into
the school fund.
Any citizen who serves notice on
the county attorney may also desig-
nate some attorney who shall have as

C0rn-Fed Hogs

There is considerable wheat being
fed to cattle and hogs, and it is safe
to predict Jhat considerable portion
OF future crops of this cereal will bo
used in this manner unless it mater.
ally advances in price. The tests Of
the past season has forced the con.
cluslon that wheat is a pretty good
feed for hogs, and cattle feeders who
have used it claim it has given salts.
