Half Million at Kansas CITY.

Kansas City, Nov 25.-The failure of
Grant c. Gillett, the cattleman of
Woodbine, Kan, was not generally
known in Kansas City at the close of
business hours this evening, though it
was already known and had created a
slight furry in financial circles center
ing at the stockyards. 1t is stated that
over 100000 of Gillett's paper is held
in Kansas City, distributed among a
score or more of commission firms.
Through these firms some of this paper
has reached the local banks, but as to
the amount of the holdings OF any of
the firms or banks no definite informa-
ton could be obtained.
Gillett did not go from Abilene to
Texas, as is supposed in Abilene. He
was in Kansas City yesterday, and met
his creditors at a hotel. It is said to
be the desire of the men who hold Gill
let's paper to combine their interests
and carry the cattle until they are in a
marketable condition. About 90 600 head
of Gillett's cattle are said to be in the
feed lots on his two ranches in Kan
sas and in the hands of various feed
ers in Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian terri
tory and Texas. 1t is not known where
Gillett went when he left Kansas City

When unsolicited testimonials are
constantly received from men of such
prominence as the distinguished citizen
whose portrait is here printed-when
among the thousands of letters re-
ceived by the proprietors of Paine's
celery compound there are to be found
in almost every mail some from men
and women of national reputation, it is
easily understood why this remedy
which makes people well has proven
its remarkable efficacy among all class
es of people.
No other remedy has the hearty ap-
proval of a like body of educated men
and women and professional men, nor
has there ever been a remedy that was
welcomed in so many intelligent, pru-
dent homes, where pains is taken to
get only the best in so vital q matter
In such families all over the country
Paine's celery compound is the first and
only remedy used.
Professor Phelps had studied the
nerves in health and disease, when well
nourished and when under nourished
in men and women and children, years
before he looked for the remedy.
Paine's celery compound is the outcome
of his entire professional life It is the
one remedy that the world could not
! lose today at any price.
Paine's celery compound induces the
body to take on solid flesh.

Not Alone In It.

Little Horace Empstead is the 5-year-
old son of Lieutenant Empstead of the
United States army, says the Detroit
Free Press. 1t happened that Lieuten-
ant Empstead's regiment was present
at the engagement before Santiago, and
for days after Horace begged his
mother to tell him over and over again
the story of the battle.
1t was but natural that Horace
should place his father up aloft on a
pedestal, for in her account of the fight
his mother had dilated upon the brav-
cry of Horaces father to such an ex-
tent that finally the youngster came to
believe that he was about the only SOL
der present, at least the only one who
amounted to anything.
A few days ago the lieutenant came
here to Detroit on short furlough. A
few friends called one evening and
heard him tell the story of the fight
himself When he had finished he took
his son upon his knee, whereupon the
latter broke out bravely: M my papa
he did tn mostest fightin. He wuth
jes' where tn bullets with thickest,
fur my mamma toP me So N when 1T
with all over, N whole lot of tn 9TH

if it hadn't been for him it wouldn't

mamma tor me so.''
Then Lieutenant Empstead inter-
rupted the juvenile flow of words by
saying: mo, Horace, was not the
best fighter. 1 did not do everything
alone. There was some one with me all
the time.
"Who?" asked the child, with look
of amazement in his eyes

Whereupon the child finished: "Oh.

Kansas Cattle Man Fails For Over a
Million.
GILLETT GOES TO SMASH
SKY-RoCKET CAREER OF a OAR
ING OPERATOR.
Four Years Ago He Owned Nothing
But a Mortgaged Farm, But Since
Then He Has Handled 100000
Head of cattle-Traveled With
His Cowboy Band.

Abilene, Kan, Nov. pa failure in
yolving cattle interests throughout the
southwest was precipitated today when
an attachment suit for $4,000 was filed
against Grant C. Gillett of Woodbine
by the Gillespie Commission company
of Kansas City. Gillett controls thou
sands of cattle on the southwestern
ranges, and his liabilities are believed
to be over $1,000,000.
1t is now known that oR Monday OF
the present week Gillett made an as
signment and deed of trust OF all OF MS
holdings to D. w. Naill. Glllett at
once departed for Texas. Mr.. Nall,
however, refused to accept the trustee
ship, and the papers were not filed.
This condition of affairs becoming
noised about, Gilletts creditors came
down on him in droves. Men repre-
senting twenty-five commission firms IN
Kansas City arrived at Woodblne to-
day on a special train and immediate
ly began searching for Gillett cattle,
which are ranging over central and
western Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian ter
ritory and Texas. How many there
are, none of the creditors seem to
know, but it is stated that there are
about 5000 head on Gillett's Woodbine
ranch.
, Some idea of the extent of Gillett's
liabilities was gained at the county
registers office here, where fully $1,OO0,-
900 of his paper is recorded. About
one-third of it is blanket and unre-
leased mortgages, while the remainder
! covers cattle now being fed.
Most of Gillett's paper is thought tc
have been held by Kansas City banks
and commission firms, but the firms
who are represented here on the ground
claim to be amply protected.
| The career of Grant c. ,Gillett has
| been of the skyrocket order. He is but
| 81 years of age, and his operations
| have startled the more conservative
stockmen. Four years ago he lived or
a mortgaged quarter section of lano
near Woodbine, where he began his cat
! tie trade by feeding steers for others
! In this he was successful, and on the
little ranch he laid the groundwork OF
a business which has enabled him tC
handle over 100000 cattle within the
| last three years. His methods were az
novel as they were daring. Soon he
seemed to have unlimited credit. He
! bought great droves of cattle in Texas
and brought them north for feeding
Soon he organized his celebrated Cow
! boy band" composed of plainsn1en il
his employ, and when he rode abou
the country in his special car he tool
| his band of musicians with him. He
even took them into eastern cities
where they attra cted much attention.
Mr.. Gillett is said to have recently
taken out 1921, 900 of life insurance an(
J 5000 600 of accident insurance.

No he replied, and if it were it

that it does not intend to annex Cuba.
1t can do nothing but recognize our
independence. In the meantime it is
practically in control of the island, and
we can do nothing without it's permis-
sion. 1t could not annex us without a
political revolution and that is impos-
sible.'

Gen. Blanco Is Going Back to Spain.
(From Washington Dispatch)


General Blanco is preparing to move,
and has engaged his servants in boxing
and packing many of his personal effects
for shipment to Spain. Included in the
list of property which the general is pre-
pairing to take with him are many costly
paintings which have for years adorned
the walls of the palace in Havana. Many
of these are the life-sized portraits of
former rulers of the kingdom and former
governor generals of Cuba, two of which,
just now are highly treasured, being an
expensive painting of the boy king AL
were executed by an italian artist and
sent to Havana to adorn the walls of the
palace during the regime of Campos and
surrection The estimated value of the
paintings in the palace is thousands of
dollars, but his is purely sentimental
value. The bric-a-brac and furnishings
of the palace of the captain general are
most costly, and all of these General
Blanco claims as his personal property.
