ALL LOOK ALIKE.

One correspondent worked out a plan
which he thought would give the de-
sired information to his paper, but he
failed
Early in the morning he filed a dis
patch. the first enc reading as follows:
The newspaper fleet sailed this
morning toward Porto Rico"
An hour later he went to file a pep
sonal message to his editor reading:
Correction. Omit second word Ia last
dispatch"
When he handed in the last dispa.ch
the censor met him at the receiving
desk and, with kindly smile, handed
back the first dispatch with these
words written across:
"All fleets look alike to me-"
The censor has had some very anus
ing experiences with others than the
newspaper men. Repeatedly he has
been rebuked for holding up private
messages which he believed to be cy-
pher dispatch; for newspaper use. The
pIopri ter of one of the eamb cg rooms
cabled north the other day for q new
roulette wheel. He gave flu descrir-
ton of the kind of board he waited,
and requested an immediate answer.
After waiting twenty-four hours with
out receiving any reply he went to the
cable office to see if his message had
been sent. Re found that the censor
had held 1t up. believing it TO be a
CIPHER messag e to a newspaper.
The censor a3o.ogized and let the
message go through. An answer came
back within a few hours and the pro-
prietcr had a bright new roulette table
within a week.
The censor is greatly liked by the
ne wspaper men, and spends most of his
time In chatting with them On the great
porch of the Key West hotel
He is an officer of the regular army
and simply discharges well and faith
fully the duty assigned to him from
Washington. Writers who have fled

THE BOOZE MAN

But after the copy has been filed
the correspondents trouble is not at an
end. Every word of it must be read
and passed upon by the censor. No
matter how much time, hardship or ex-
pense 1t has required to get the story.
II, in the Judgment of the censor II
ought not be printed, it cannot be sent.
II 1T gives any information as to the
movement of the fleet or army it can
not go.
There are something like one hundred
and fifty newspaper correspondents in
Key West, and while most of them an
preclate the wisdom of the government
censorship, some of them have grown
impatient in their eagerness to tell the
interesting stories that are to be held
and have tried all manner of schemes
Tor getting matter past censor. Usual
ly all plans have been detected by the
censor and copy returned to the writer
with NO written in red ink on il.
The day the fleet started on it's cruise
eastward, every correspondent in Key
West knew that the great battleships
were steaming away in quest of the
big Spanish game. Every newspanar
man was eager to send the story. but
not line, not word would the censor
permit to pass.
From a hundred papers in the North
came the query: Has the feet start
ed?' Even the answer yes to this
inquiry was not permitted to go. Some
OF the correspondents had arranged a
cypher code with their home offices. bur
the code was useless. Everything that
mad the appearance of a cypher. every
thing that was not absolutely plain and
explainable was stopped.

WONDERFUL CURE
BY Magnetic Treatment ut Valley
Center.

In our issue of January % 1t was stated
as a local item that F. w. Petry, the
Wichita healer, had been here and given
John McCafferty magnetic treatment
stating that he could cure him. Since
that time Mr. Petry has treated him five
times, making six treatments in all at
this writing, the last one being admins
tered Tuesday evening of this week.
At that time we could not chronicle re-
suits in Mr. McCafferty's case, but we
have watched it with interest and hav-
ing paid him a visit Wednesday, during
which all the facts involved were care
fully CLEANED. we are now prepared to
lay them before our readers, believing
that simple justice to Mr.. Petry demands
this much at our hands.
Mr.. McCafferty, who is "a years old
which makes the case doubly astonishing
was cured some time ago of a severe
neuralgia trouble by Mr.. Petry. but other
morbid bodily conditions, unresisted be
cause of failing vitality, consequent on
his advanced age, have since Frustrated
and brought him to the very brink of the
grave. his family and friends utterly de-
spairing of his recovery at the time MI
Petry took him in charge, January 2Sth.
For some time previous to his first
treatment he had not eaten a bite of food
and was so reduced in flesh and strength
he was unable to move himself or even
turn over in bed. Evidently all functional
vital action was suspended or paralyzed.
the skin was saffron in color. and the
tongue was heavily coated with thick,
black mucus
Such was his condition the last of Janu-
airy. He has had six treatments. What is
it at this writing? On Wednesday, as the
result of progressive improvement, he in
forms US he is eating and digesting food.
his skin is clearer and tongue clean. he is
able to sit up. feels new life within him.
and all this he and his ministerng rela-
tives and friends attribute to the mag
netic treatments he has received from
F. ". Petry. The question naturally
arises. To what other cause can II ration
ally or Justly be assigned? In our next
issue we shall have more to say on this
subject. Truth and justice is what all
should demand.-Valley Center Index.

BONDS At A PREMIUM
Chicago Kansas and Nebraska
Railroad Bonds.
WILL BE REFUNDED
At Four and Three Fourths
Per Cent Interest.
BE REFUNDED

For some time the county commissioners
have been considering propositions for
refunding the countys railroad bonds. An
offer was made some days ago by a Bal
timore firm TO take up the county's entire
issue of railroad bonds as far as they
could be refunded at IA per cent. It was
given out that something would be done
at yesterdays session in the way of TAX
ing up these bonds.
W. G. Eads of Kansas City, No, was
present al the meeting of the board and
made a proposition to buy up the bonds
at Az per cent from 81 and pay premium
of $3.50 besides. besides bearing all the ex-
pense Of the transfer and reissue. After
some discussion it was decided to refund
the $4,000 of c. X. 6; \. bonds. The rate
of interest on the new issue will amount
to nearly S1,400 less annually than the
rate upon the old issue. 1t was agreed
by the commissioners to accept Eads
proposition in case the bonds could be Sc
cured. The new issue is TO have five. ten
and twenty year privilege. As soon as
this matter is disposed Of the commission
ers will take up the question of refund
ing other bonds. The different townships
have bonded Indebtedness of something
over one hundred thousand dollars and
different brokers have offered to take the
entire township issue also at a much
lower rate of interest than is now paid.
Al least two other eastern brokers viii
be here within the next three weeks to bid
for Sedgwick county and township bonds.
The commissioners think that upon town
ship and county bonds a saving of $1,000
a year can be made.

that whilst he scarcely could keep his

economy that We made 1900 millionaires

have now over 81 900 where We had two

millionaires were made at his expense.
1t did not tell him that the contraction OF
money was the cause OF the low prices on

1t did not tell him that monopolies, COM

possible the representation of the farmer
and laborer must he in the majority.
Second-This done, the doctrines of the
