the wagon was built under the super
vision Of J. P Gamble. who was at the
time superintendent of the factory. All
the metal was nickel plated. The color

words Kansas Wagon. .
After long discussion by competent
judges it was decided that this wagon
was the best and finest piece of work
of the kind in the United States
1t was purchased yesterday Mr.. s. B
Stuckey, a well-to-do farmer who lives
six miles east of Stillingsville, Mo
The price paid was $50.
Mr.. Stuckey brought a fine team of
horses over and hooked on to the
prize winner as though it had been any
other kind of a vehicle, and after driv-
ing about to various stores and doing
a considerable amount Of shopping
rode home in what was said twenty-one
years ago to be the best wagon in the
United States.

CHECK FOR G. J. HARTMAN.
Employees of the Southern Division
Honor Their Former Chief

Wichita. March 27.-The employees of
the southern division of the Santa F'e
railway have shown the esteem in which
they hold their former superintendent,
G. J. Hartman, by sending him a check
for $500. It was the intention at first
to give him a handsome present, but
after the money was collected it was
thought best to give him the money di-
rect
The letter of transnfttaI was sent
with the check, and was as follows:

sent you with this check in token of
their friendship and esteem

check on us and called many of US up
on the carpet to account for those
checks at the same time little did you
think that We were keeping a check
on you; and thinking that in after years
ii would be of some little comfort to
you to know what kind of a check We
kept, we enclose you the check and rec

check may be kept on you wherever
your lot may be cast, and at the final
checking up you may be found clear

false and wholly untrue Josiah Bin
