TOO MANY MARKET HOUSES
THAT IS WHAT A GREAT MANY PEO-
 PILE ARE COMPLAINING OF
Less Protection Is Thrown About the Possi- ble Sale of Bad Meats and Other
 Decayed Food.

The policy of the city coun-ll in grant, ing parties the right to establish marke s in different pe15ionis of the city has created sonla stir
 Many citizens who have spoken on the subject take the position that the city market is maintained for the con- venience of the citizens as well as 8 safeguard against ths selling of putrid meats and deeayed vegetables. The city formerly had two naarlxets-One on al south and another on the ncr,h side. The south side market is elosed and has basn since the city council established the rule of allowing markets on almost every street corner in that portion of the city.
 The law, as formerly enforced, pro- hiblted markets within certain limits. The limits were: Tha Kansas City rail- TO ad on the north side; Avenue H on the south side; Fourteenth street on the west; Twenty-sixIth street east on the north side; Twenty-fifth street to Avenue H on the south side.
 For several meetings, it is claimed, the council has been granting parties the right to establish markets within these limits. At the last meeting the right ws5 granted two parties to run markets within the limits on the north side. There was considerable discus- sion. ard Alderman Hentschel moved to allow markets in any raait of the odty. He did not receive a second, and the two market rights were granted on ahe rrlea of convenience for the people.
 Those who are in position to know state that dIhe city market house fonmer- Ny yielded a r venue of ab ut $500 month ly to the city. This. they say, has dwindled to $350, and may fall much 1 lower There are now, accc:ding 10 these statements, eight vacant stals in | the market at the city hall Here the
 meants and vegetables, it is claimed, are | carefully. examined every morning by an l inspector to prevent any stale gccds be- | ing foisted on the public.
 1 With the scattered markets about the | city 1t is different as 1t is claimed there | is no inspector ard nothing to prevent interruptions peddlsrs from disposing of l bad nleiats and other gc5ds at a low l price. This does much to spread dis l ease, they say, and the public has no safeguard. They agree that buyers may
 be to blame. claiming there are class of people always willing to take such l provender at a reduced figure, but the l prevention of disease among them is a l necessity to lthe health of others. | There is likely to be a warm time in 1 the council over this question, as the | members are said to be dividad.

Before hey came there was a Gathering
of hoofs in tine road, and hen crunch
ing footsteps on the graveled walk
leading up TO the house. There was a
dormer window in Thorndyke's room,
and its gable projected above the front
door of the farmhouse. The sash was
mp and the sounds from below came
sharply to the two men in the upper
room.
I've got a warrant for John Kill
grow"-Philip recognized the voice as
that of the mar who had asked the way
of Mrs. Duncan-"and I'll have to
trouble ye, MIR. Duncan"
At the mention of his name the old
mountaineer started and would have
thrown himself out of the other win
dow if ~Thorndyke had not promptly
seized him. Don't be afraid-they
can't touch you. Sit down and listen"

filled the silence until the door closed
and Duncan spoke again: moo, then,

Thorndyke peered between the Stats
of the closed shutters, and saw the two
men fall back a few steps to hold a
couHcil of war. While they were talk
ing. another horseman came in sight at
the top of the hill. and a moment later
Protheroe rode up TO The gate and dis
mounted. He nodded to the intruders
rs he passed them, and T~horndyke was
surprised TO see them hurry to their
horses and ride away toward Ala

planned when Protheroe came up the
walk.

"That's all right: / only want TO be
certain that you understand that point.
Now, about the damages. How much
do you think you oughtto have?'

''Very well, then; are you willing to
leave the amount TO mnP"
"I.reckon | cayn't do no better"
"Then well consider that settled.
Now, one more question. Have you
ever signed any papers for Gates o. any

81 reckon not"
Thorndyke was unfamiliar with the
mountain idion. and he pressed the
question again. 81 want you to think

That's all. then; and for the pres

$50 much the better. Go back there
and stay quietly until you hear from

Kilgrow understood that he was dis
missed, but he hesitated, laboring will
n statement that he did not know hoN
to make. T~horndyke tried to help him
"Was there anything else?" he asked.

Events of Interest Culled From
Territorial Newspapers.
Newspaper Printed by Indians.

Kons City World: The Cherokee
council in session at Tahlequah last
week appointed Joe r. Sequich.e, a
iull-blood Indian, to succeed Waddie
Hudson, a white man, us editor of the
Cherokee Advocate, the national organ
OF the tribe. The Advocate is a Curl
ositv in many WAYS. Not only is IL
owned and published by a tribe of
Indians, out it one of the oldest papers
in the southwest, being first estab-
lished in the old nation in Georgia, in
1928, and removed TO Tahlequah, !. T..
the capital, in ls3S, where it has oeen
published ever since. The Advocat
is printed partly in Cherokee aud part
ly in English. Its editor is appointed
every alternate year by the tribal
council. The Advocate is probably
most unique from the fact that the
Cherokee pages are printed entirely
with Cherokee type, which are al
together different from tile English.
The Cherokee Indians nre the only
tribe OF Indians in the United States
that have a written language. All the
other tribes speak divers tongues, but
among them all no genius ever arose
TO design especial cha, acters for a pri-
vate alphabet.
