SANTA FE SLEEPING CARS.
President Ripley Means to Make
Good Bargain.

Good Bargain.
New YORK, Jan. 11.-President Rip
ley, af the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe, who has been in the city for
several days, returned to Chicago, ac-
companied by Chairman Walker. of the
board of Directors.
Before leaving President Ripley
declined to say whether the
sleeping car contract that
system had been awarded but from an
other official source it was learned that
the matter has not been settled. The
trouble it is claimed is due to the fact
that the company wants too big price
for the franchise, aud in view of the con-
ditions on the system the sleeping car
companies are unwilling TO agree to the
terms.
Conferences have been held by Presi
dent Ripley and the officials of the Wag
ner and Pullman companies during the
past few days. but with no results.

The drum as it rests in the natural

was so young and small that his father
could not get an army suit small enough
for him, and the one he wears in the
picture was cut down to fit from the
smallest which could be had.

TO IGNORE THE q. s.
England Will Settle the Venezuelan
Matter w tth Venezuela Herself.


LONDON, Jan IA semi official
note will be published today stating that
the British government has decided to
submit to parliament full Information in
regard to Armenia, the Transvaal and
Venezuela.
Consequently the United States Ven
ezuelan commission will shortly have ac-
cess to the material points of the British
case.
The Westminster Gazette adds that the
cabinet will also be informed of an effort
which it is hoped may yet be croYned
with success to end the Venezuela dis
pute by an agreement with Venezuela
direct.
Continuing, the Westminster Gazette
SAYS: This is complicated by interna-
tional revolutionary difficulties, but is
being steadily prosecuted. If direct
diplomatic relations could be re- estab-
lished, there would be a good prospect of
an early agreement through the good Of
fees of an American state, not the United
States"
Ths News at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Senor Joseph
Adrade the Venezuelan minister to the
United States was shown the cable gram
to the effect that Great Britain
according to the Westminster Gazette
was about to renew the effort TO re- estab-
lish direct diplomatic relations with
Vsnezuela, the overtures to be made
through the good offices of an American
state, not the United States.
The minister seemed much pleased at
the news contained in the dispatches, but
called attention to the fact that this was
merely renewal of the policy urged by
Great Britain toward Venezuela since the
beginning of the boundary dispute.

SPRING LEAVE Us.

This Beautiful HEiawihter Weather is
to Bid Us Goodbye Tonight, They Say.
If the weather men in Washington
have prepared their forecast correctly,
the short spring which the people
of Kansas have been experiencing
for the past few days will probably make
its exit tonight. aud in its stead we will
have touch of real January weather.
That this forecast is apt to be correct
is demonstrated by the manner
in which the wind has changed since
early morning. A. o'clock this morn
ing it was blowing from the south; at 2
o'clock this afternoon it has
turned the corner and was sailing
in from the northwest. Should it
finally decide to come in on direct
northern route, and the "highs'' and
flows" of the barometer get mixed up
on the track, the arctic breezes
of the far north are liable to frolic over
the Italy of America by tomorrow night.
But then you can't depend, you know.
We may have nice Sunday in spite of
the doctors.
With the exception of the dust, the
weather has been pleasant in Topeka
today. At one time on Kansas avenue
this morning the temperature climbsd as
far as so. Similar weather is reported
along all lines throughout Kansas this
afternoon.
InColorado and Texas the weather is
reported clear and cool; in New Mexico
cloudy and pleasant
Generally fair weather tonight and to-
morrow, with much colder weather to-
morrow are the predictions sent out.
Cream OF Onion Soup.
Put quart of stock and sliced onions
in a saucepan and bring slowly to boil
ing point. Simmer gently for three-quar
ters of an hour. Then press through q
fine sieve Return this co the fire, rub to-
gether large tablespoonful of butter and
tablespoonfuls of -four, add gradually
little of tho hot soup. When smooth, turn
into the kettle and stir until it reaches the
boiling point. Then add gill of cream
or milk, a seasoning of salt and pepper,
turn into tureen, add a tablespoonful of
chopped parsley or chervn and serve. This
is Mrs. Rorer's recipe.

ROGERS GOES UP FOR FIVE YEARS

The Supreme Court Decides the Case
Against Harvey County Record Isurner.
The supreme court today decided the
case of Geo. w. Rogers of Newton, the
cele brated Harvey county record burn
ing case.
Rogers who owned the only set Of alb
stract books in the county when the
court records were burned was convicted
of burglary in the second degree and
sentenced to the penitentiary for a term
of five years.
His case was appealed to the supreme
court but the decision aud verdict of the
lower court has now been affirmed and
Rogers must go to the penitentiary and
serve out his sentence.

verdict, giving Major Hudson the Office
aud relinQuishiEg Secretary of State Ed
wards from all responsible in turning
the state printing over to Major Hudson,
the court holds that E II. Snow must
pay the cost of both cases.
There seems to have been a desire to
put the costs whore they could be best
borne.
Major Hudson was in the office of the
clerk of the supreme court most of the
forenoon, anxiously waiting for the decis-
ion of the court which was handed down
shortly after II o'clock.
Mr.. Snow was not present, but was
represented by Arthur Clark and his
financial hacker Mr.. I. C. Sears.
Major Hudson ordered a copy of the
opinion and then went to his office and
hoisted large flag over the doorway to
express his JOY.
The decision of the court gives gen
eral satisfaction.
The majority of the members Of the
legislature were in favor of Major Hud-
son being state printer. aud the public
hates a legal technicality which is per-
mitted to interfere with the will of a
majority.

Of bottom land, on Pond Creek,

ty line. We have six dry goods
houses, four family groceries, one
hardware house, two drug stores,
two millinery shops, post-oilice,
two churches, one hotel, two
boarding houses, one harness
shop, two blacksmith shops and
one livery stable, This is one Of
the best farming countries | ever
saw. Wheat, oats, corn, cotton,
clover, and all kinds of fruits are
raised here. We have good
water and health. Our farmers
are well supplied with machines
to cultivate and harvest their
crops. But the range for stock
is nothing to compare with that
of Hardin County. Stock does
well here; game is scarce except
birds. Business was very good
last year and bids fair for a good
trade this year as cattle and hogs
are in good demand.
