Sold to the Santa Ee.

Mention was made in last weeks
VOICE of the tearing up of part Of
the old Wichita & Western railroad
running west from Pratt. The Santa
Fe Railway 20. has purchased this
piece of track for the price of $40 per
ton for over 1900 tons OF steel con-
tanned in forty miles Of the road.
This sale, in money value, will
amount to between $50, 900 and $50, 900.
The fact that new rails are about $26
per ton shows that the sale is a good
one. 1t was reported that the sale
was made to the Hutchinson and
Southern, but that was a mistake.
The rails are from forty miles Of the
west end of the Wichita & Western
road.
The road is being torn up at the
rate of about two miles a day and
the entire work will be completed in-
side Of two weeks. Superintendent
Rhoades is experimenting the work
with big gang of men who tear down
depOts, telegraph wires, bridges and
everything as they come along.

ceased the previous day and every
time the train advances there is moth.

mills on f street, last Friday found
a paper box living under 2 vacant
house adjoining the Northrup. home.
containing the gold pens stolen from
). Crane several weeks ago. The pens

evidently not been touched since they
were placed there. A small white
cord eucircled a bunch Of. the pearl.
handled pens.
Upon finding the treasure, about 3
O'Clock, the boys Immediately notified
M. NOrthrup, who recognized them
as the pens stolen from Mr.. Crane a
few weeks ago. They were returned
to the owner. The boys accidentally
discovered them while playing under
an empty house. The house was
formerly occupied by Will MayReld.
The value Of the pens was $40.
Mr.. Crane is naturally feeling good

Found Dead Near Conway Springs,

Sheriff Heskett received u telegram
from Conway Springs last Thursday
stating that Charles Brown, a prom
inent farmer living near there had
been found dead the night previous.
Coroner Huffman Of Belle PLANE, was
notified Of the death, and went there
Thursday morning to hold an inquest.
Brown left home, two miles north and
one mile west Of Conway Springs,
Wednesday about noon and failed TO
return, when a searching party was
instituted. He was discovered dead
about I o'clock that night.
Mr.. Brown was a man about50 years
Of age. He came to Conway Springs
something over twelve months ago
from Iowa. He was rated as worth
about $4,000 in cash when he went

superstition is that he suddenly ex-
pired from heart failure while away
from the house.

How TO Forecast Weather.

While atmospheric conditions can
not be predicted for any length Of
time, it is not impossible TO forecast
the principal changes for the twenty
four hours next succeeding the date
OF observation. The forecast is baseO
upon the conditions telegraphed from
the stations all over the country.
The state of the weather at these sta.
tions is reported to the central office
where the weather maps are made
cut. The wind is designated, by dr..
rows which have barbs Of greater or
less length, depending on the strength
or velocity OF the wind. The barOm-
eter and thermometer are put down
10 figures, and the spot where these
entries are made indicates the station
which has furnished the information.
The following account, given by an
eminent meteorOlogist, will be inter-
esting to the scientific student:
"Wnen all the reports have arrived,
lines are drawn joining places at
which the barometric pressure is the
same (isObars), and through those Of
which the temperature is the same
lisotherms). A distinct relation is
Immediately evident between these
forces Of the wind. Roughly, the ar
rows are parallel with the iso-
bars, and they are more barbed-that
is, the wind is stronger the
closer the isObars are together.
Generally those isobars are
curved and enclose an erea either of
low or high barOmetric pressure. In
the former case there is said to be a
cyclone, in the latter an anti-cyclone.
If the central barOmetric pressure be
very low aud the isObars close tOgeth-
er, Il violent storm ism progress: If the
central pressure be high and the iso-
bars wide apart, there is calm, and
in winter generally fog. The diff
Guilty of the forecaster, especially in
small era, is to tell what direction the
cyclone or anti-cyclOne system will
move. There are, moreover, V-Shaped
depressiOns, secOndaries and other
varieties Of distribution Of pressure
to be detected and taken into account
so that, on the whole, the fOrecaster
probably requires bOldnesS as much as
ne needs knowledge" The value of
the weather service cannot be Overes-
timated. 1t is useful alike to the
business man, the pleasure seeker and
to those who 60 out upon the sea in
ships. Many lives and a great amount
of property have been saved because
of the predictions of the weather bu-
reau, crude, imperfect and unScien.
tifc as they are up to date.

Gunsaulus' Lecture

DR.. GunsauluS, pastor of the Plym
Outh Congregational church at Chica-
60, delivered his famous lecture on "a
Chapter in the History of Liberty
to crowded house at the auditorium
Wednesday night. He spoke two hour:
with an elOquenCe seldom heard iu
the auditorium. His theme was OF
the elOquence of the Puritans during
the thirty years. period preceding the
war Of '6l-'65. DR.. GunsauluS is him
self master of elocutiOn. His lee
ture was almost devoid of humor, but
dealt seriously and sentimentally
with the causes that led to the civi,
strife. His recount of the political
supremacy of Webster and the man.
ner in which he finally lost prestige
with his followers, was noble lesson
10 tne politicians OF today. Gun
SaulnS' eulOgy of Wendell Phillips
was inspiring. He followed Phillips
career from his early days in Boston
to the memorable shot he received
while delivering a fiery Grafton at the
beginning Of the civil war. His clos
ing climax was superb. All the mas
terful eloquence OF the man, all the
power OF oratory and gesture was
brought out. His most effective speak
Ing was done in his perOration. Pa
irons of the course were well pleased
with the lecture that night. Wei
lington people have long wanted tt
hear DR.. Gu1saulus, and this was
their first opportunity. They were
we'll pleased without an exception.
DR.. Gunsaulus' lectures are never
written before being delivered. He
speaks extemporaneOusly, and while
holding to the general theme in all
his lectures, probably never deliver;
two alike. Very few lecturers now
on the rOStrum do this.

Some interesting cases will come

The Cornell University versus II.

case. The real defendant is Mrs. Gas.

thirty-two defendants to the suit SO
far. Some years ago a mortgage was
given the Cornell University on the
Williams estate near Corbin. A suit
to fOreclOse was begun in district
court nearly two years ago. Cross
petitions, demurrers and objections
have been filed until 1t is the most
complicated civil case known In the
history Of Sumner county jurispru-
dence. The amount involved is ST..
900. The estate comprises LOO acres,

Prison Convicts-fiopored Statesmen

EDITOR VOICE: In the October
number of the Twentieth Century, on
the editorial page, appears the fol-
lowing:
IL will be remembered that in one
OF his Canton outbreaks, our military
friend, the major, was carried away
by his enthusiasm over Senator Quay's
moral grandeur. This is perhaps nat.
ural, for when man tolls as hard fol
the honor of his country as 10 be
compelled TO abandon his own, he
welcomes the aid Of all workers in
the same cause.
Quay, although keeping the honor
OF the country we'll in hand, found
time to get John Bardsley out of jail
last week. Bardsley is Quay's hench-
man who was sentenced to fifteen
years imprisonment for embezzling
over 81 ,OO0, OOO. Bardsley is the former
city treasurer OF Philadelphia. He
has served but five years OF his term.
The above recalls to my memory
another embezzlement in the same
state upwards Of twenty years ago.
At that time it was the state treasury
which was robbed. This same Quay
was then accused of being one of the
interested parties in that steal; in fact,
ne was accused in the U. S. Senate
after he became member thereof,
and he never dared to deny it. How
ever the state authority of Pennsylva-
MIA at that time, caught one of the
thieves. The prosecution tried hard
to get this one to squeal on the leading
thieves, but without success. This
Individual was sent up for two
years. He served his full term, and
when it was out, this ex-conviCt went
west. He pulled up in Chicago, as
the president of the cable-car system
OF the north and west line. 1t was a
bitter pill for the ariStOcratic daily
papers Of Chicago, to have their street
car system controlled by an ex-convict.
But all their rawlings amounted to
nothing; the man deted them to do
their worst, and they did. They even
went so far as to publish his prison
record even to the number Of his cell,
Which Was number 9. But be was
Senator Quay's friend, and he lived it
down. Today he is the greatest man
in ChicagO-thelr most honOred
citizen. The one man who gave a
cool Sl,OOO,000 to the Worlds fair
museum. Yes, Chas. T. Yerkes is the
political dictator of Chicago. He it
was who compelled his men in the
late campaign to study the sound
money doctrine at thier off hours.
And these are the men who talk Of
honest dollars and national honor
Such are the men to whom Mckinley
owes his election. Such thieves have
got the destiny of our nation in their
hands. And if the common people
of this country were not towards or
idiots, such sCOundrels would not be
allowed to put their iron heel upon
the neCkS of free men.
