Railroad Land settlers around Mann2ltanI
Kan, Form an Association.
MANHATTAN, Kan, Dec 99.-Siuce it
has become known that the railroad
land held by the residents of the
county has never been patented, the
farmers Of the eastern and western
portions of the county have formed
societies for the prevention Of il
legal homesteading. It is stated
that farmers are going about armed
and threaten to shoot anyone who
may undertake to jump their land
hereafter. Some of the jumpers are
already being elected as fast as they
jump a claim. A United States law
gives the prior settler the exclusive
right, but he may have to buy his land
at $3.50 an acre, and the farmers cay
they do not intend to be imposed upon
and will fight the matter to the end.

II is evident from the spirit that

that the spirit which actuated the

gree. Senator Teller voiced the

A good story Is told at the ex-
Iense Of circuit judge in one of
ihe southern counties. who had
been elected to that position on the
Democrat ticket two years ago, but
who in the last campaign espoused
tie cause OF the gold standard.
During the campaign he made sew
eral speeches, and one of his meet
ings was held in a country school
house, and at which the principal
part OF his audience was composed
OF farmers who were staunch sup
porters OF Mr.. Bryan. In the
remarks upon the money question,
he shouted: Can you make fifty
cents worth of silver one dollar by
putting the government stamp on
it2 No. Can you take jackass
and stampit and make it a cow"
AZ this junction an old farmer at
TIE back of the house arose and
said; Judge, | don't know much

politicians took II jackass and made

NEWS OF NEW CASTLE
ARC LIGHTS ENTIRELY SUCCESSFUL.
HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST I'M
PROVEMENT TO NEW CASTLE IN
TWENTY YEARS.

months experience with tho new
system of arc lighting in New Castle
shows it to have been entirely success
full The lights are powerful, regular
and reliable and seem to get better
rather than any worse. A reporter
and a city official made an inspection
OF the lights last night.
On Seventh street, formerly known
as Dobbinsyille road, the Improvement
is especially noticeable. For years the
residents of that section have COM
planned and protested that there were
not enough lights there to keep a man
out Of the ditch.
Farmers and hOrsemen protested
against the darkness along the street,
the roadbed of which is made of Gin
ders. or Stag, and is very dark. They
also complained that the ROAD was so
dark below Dobbinsville that horses
had TO be pulled down to a walk or be
In constant danger of a collision. The
three arc lights on this road or street
now are all that is desired. They are
SO much higher than the old Welsbach
that they have no binding effect on
drivers and horsemen.
The arc light in front Of the Dob
binsvlle Hotel, at Seventh and Clymer
streets, casts a bright path of light all
over the road to Armstrong; creek,
which formerly could not be traversed
faster than walk because of the
black roadbed that only made dark
/ ness visible.
II Is. therefore, certain that these
electric lights are the greatest i'm
provement New Castle has enjoyed for
twenty years And they shine forth
their luminary rays every night and
all night, whereas five years ago New
Castle was only lighted by flickering gas
lamps burning until midnight and not
even then on moonlight nights.
The Welsbach gas lights on Narrow
Dixie bridge are still maintained by
/ Levy Court.

THOSE MCCARTHY BOYS.
ny GEORGE ADn.

Mrs. Sldnner's brother James was
late at dinner time. The others were
at the table when he came. His sister
rebulSed him mildly and said it wasn't
her fault IL the soup was cold. He re-
piled with great enthusiasm that the
soup was "just right" and, to prove
that he meant it, he consumed his entire
portion. Then he leaned back and
looked inquiringly at his nephew VIII
lie, who had been scolded twice already
for whistling at the table.
Uncle jim winked and little Willie be-
gan to snieker.
Wille-I did.
Uncle Jim-Did you?
Willie-Yes; and you ought to have
heard Ed Mccarthy laugh.
Uncle Jim-What did the teacher do2
Willie-Oh, she didn't do much. II
made her kind o mad, 1 guess. She
said: "Tll declare, Willie Skinner,
you're one of the worst boys in the
school"
Mrs. SlSinner-What's this all about?
Willie-Aw, it amt much. Uncle Jim
taught me to speak piece that he
used to speak when he was kid.
Mrs. SlSinner-When he was boy.
Uncle Jim-Its a good piece, isn't it.,
Bill?
Mrs. Slnner-James, it sounds aw-
full TO cali a little boy by such a name as
that. What was it you spoke. Willie?
Willie-Aw, it was just a piece.
Uncle Jim-You must remember IT,.
It's about the captains daughter 1--WE
were crowded in the cabin" and so on.
Mrs. Skinner-Yes. Of course. Did
you teach it to Willie?
Uncle Jim-You ought TO hear him.
Go on and speak IL for them. Bill.
Willie-Aw, I don't want to now.
Uncle Jim-Go on. I'll bet your
father wdnts to hear it; don't you.
Tom?
Mr.. Skinner (talSing sudden inter
est)-Yes. of course. What lis il?
Uncle JIM knew he wanted TO
hear it. Your mother will like it, too.
Ethel-I guess he's forgotten it.
Willie-Aw. forget I'll know it
easy. It's just:
I'VE we're crowded in the cabin.
Not a soul had dared to sleep:
II was midnight on the waters
And the storm was on the deep.
"'Tis a fearful thing in wfhter

And to hear the rafting trumpet thunder'

And she bodily answered; Mir

that you, at least, ought not TO laugh al
anything of that kind. He's bad enough
without being encouraged. Ito Willie,
Did you get up in school to-day and re
cite that piece?

boldened by Uncle Jim's winks)-W'y
