Sixteen years ago st. Patrick's day
a stranger drifted into Fort Scott and
called upon Newt Try. who then as
now, was dabbling in real estate, and
announced his desire to buy a farm in
Bourbon county.
Competition was brisk during those
times and property was moving rap
idly. Mr.. Try ordered a first class team
from a livery stable and drove the Wis
itor out into the country, showing him
several farms. Returning to town in
of the best hotel in the town and with
great gusto marched his stranger
friend into the office. Calling ceremo-
niously to the clerk Ury said:
This gentleman is a friend of mine;
give him whatever he wants and send
me the BILL
The drives to the country to see
farms continued for a week and the
stranger by the way who gave his
name as Jones, seemed pleased, but
limited his choice to two especially fine
pieces of we'll improved land. He was
to make a final visit and a decision on

the hotel. Try called for him but he

to show that the Republicans acted
wisely in nominating Col. Roose-
velt for governor. No other Re-
publican could have been elected.
His brilliant record as a leader OF

tions from Washington, United States Con-
sui Dent has chartered the Atlas line steam
er Adula for the purpose Of bringing refu-
gees from Cienfugos to this port. She
will sail tonight and return again to Cuba
on Wednesday. It is probable that the
British consul at Cienfuegos will take
charge of American interests there.
A dispatch was received from Ceinfuegos
four days ago. asking for ship. but there
was none available and the consul sent
an urgent message two days later. To-day
he asked that a ship be sent Immediately,
saying he feared Spanish outbreak aga nst
the lives of Americans. and the prosperous
Cubans. The cable dispatches on the SUBJ
IL give no details Of the outbreak, the pre-
sumption being that 1t has occurred. and
that the ship was requested In anticipation
of disturbance.

of siege and long blockade. Raw food
they say costs in the market about S
