JOE,s RIGHT EAR.

Tt Is Said to Have Been Responsible for
DerAiIing Yesterday.
Switch engine 216 jumped the track
at the Santa Fe's Second street switch
last evening, and the passenger trains to
Atchison and Kansas City at 5 o'clock
were delayed, and had to go out on
another track. With the help of another
engine, she was pushed on to the track
in half an hour. The cause was ''Iip'
in the track (the weight of the engine
had pushed one rail over little). and it
is said that Engineer George MeIsker
was unable to see it because of Fireman
Joe Thomas right ear which obsoured
the window ahead.

An injunction to prevent a malicious
garnishment is asked for in the case of
r. D. Minard against Reese Brothers,
which has been filed in the district
court.
Mr.. Minard is employed at the Mis-
souri, Pacific machine shops at Fort
Scott He alleges that Reese Brothers
garnisheed his wages before Justice R.
H. Scott of Monmouth township, and
Minard claims that the garnishment is
unjust and malicious. and brought for
the purpose of having him thrown out of
employment.
He says also that he has only $50 COM
ing to him from the company for nearly
two months work, and that all of this
princely income is needed to support
himself, his wife and their two children.
Minard alleges. too. that he filed an aft
davit to the effect that his small earnings
were exempt, and that the justice before
whom the case was brought refused to
consider the affidavit. For these reasons
Mr.. Minsrd asks that his wages be re-
leased from garnishment and that Reese
brothers be restrained from further at
tempts to garnishee him. Minard's at
torney is G. A. Starb bird.

THE PICNIC SATURDAY.
There Is Some Dissatisfaction Regarding
Leavenworth, But Many VIII Go.

There Is Some Dissatisfaction Regarding
Leavenworth, But Many VIII Go.
There is very little being worried
about at the Santa Fe shops just now
but the annual excursion aud picnic
which is to go to Leavenworth next Sat-
turday. The Santa Fe's transportation
department has not yet been notified, but
it is expecting to be and is looking for
ward to it.
In spite of the fact that there is a good
deal of dissatisfaction among the men
in regard to the location a very large
number will undoubtedly go. Many de-
They wanted to GO to Paramount park,
Kansas City, and ara disappointed be-
cause the excursion is going to Leaven-
worth. 1t was put to vote.
The round trip rate will be sixty cents,
and tickets are now on sale by Jim Nc
Givern, at the paint shop. None but
the Santa Fe railroad people will be al
lowed to go.
Both the Fort and the Home will be
visited, and in the forenoon the soldiers
at the Fort will give a dress parade for
the visitors. 1t is expected that the Home
band will give a concert.
Lots of other amusements will be in
dulged in, such as prize bicycling, dane
ing, racing, etc. 1t is conceded in ad-
vance that Jack Kennedy will be the
most graceful dancer, and that Amos
Beeler will be the first out in the sack
race. Jud Coe, who is married now, is
to be barred from the beauty show this
year, and Councilman Frank Stevens
will not be permitted to ride his bicycle
without COW bell and a head light
The very best of order will be pre-
served going and coming, and, although
the management has finally decided to
let Pete Butler go along, he will not be
allowed to get too gay.

WHEN RAILROADS SAY
That We Shall Have 100000
Bushels of Wheat,
IT IS PRETTY SURE TO BE 50.

They Estimate Closely ON the Amount
There Will BE 60 HauI-RaiIrOad
News in General.
Advices received at the Office of the
Rock Island general superintendent in
Topeka lead Chief Clerk o. A. Pier to
estimate the wheat crop in Kansas at
100000 bushels. The recent rains
have saved acres of wheat which had
been feared to be worthless. The wheat
outlook in Oklahoma while not SO bright
as it is in Kansas, is vastly better than it
was a few weeks ago. 1t was thought
shat the wheat crop would be total fail
ure in Oklahoma, but it is now apparent
ethat there will be enough wheat for seed
purposes and bread products in their
own territory at least. Wheat is much
better in the Territory and northern
, Texas than in Oklahoma

Game.

the Argus-Leader says that the presi-
dent OF the Sioux Falls gun club has
drafted a game bill which will be intro
duced in the Legislature in a few days.
What Is needed is better enforcement of
the game law on u statutes, not fur
ther tinkering with them, and this will
never br done until a state game warden
IS appointed by the governor through an
act OF the legislature. 1t is useless to
expect that the game can be adequately
protected through the medium of a few
widely scattered gun clubs, and it is a
disgrace to the state the manner IN
which the prairie chickens are being
slaughtered and shipped to eastern
markets. With a stale game warden
this market shooting, pot hunting
business would be quickly reduced
To the minimum. There must be some
official whose sole business it is to look
out for the game-just as there is in
almost all the other states. After oul
game is practically eXtcrminated yoU
will see Legislators fairly tumbling ovel
themselves to get game wardens ant
deputy game wardens, but it Will be ever
lastingly too late. Much OF the indi(fer-
ence OF our law making bodies is due II

that was left to see how it would work

found 1t so much more convenient and
better than lie, or any other compound
ever used, that we have used it ever
since. With artesian water we have
never found lie satisfactory. Ii enough

forms it was a difficult and painstaking
job to wash the lie out of the type. bur

with about a tablespoon full of the Gold
Dust cleansed the forms of the GRAPHIC
