Farmers Aid q Railroad,

Topeka Journal.
There is one locality in Kansas
where the farmers are in favor OF al.
lowing the railroads to attend to their
own business without interference.
This is the little station of Anson,
Sumner county. About ten days age
a complaint was filed with the board
of railroad commissioners asking that
tue Missouri Pacific company be CON-
PEELED to keep an operator at.Anson.
This afternoon petition, signed by
the majority Of farmers in that viciD.
lty, was sent into the board remon-
Strating against the commissioners
taking any action as requested in the
complaint. The petition states that
an operator was not needed, and that
the road should be allowed TO lock
after its own affairs.
Surely, this is regeneration in
Kansas.

A Delightful Affair.


A delightful event 10 railroad soci
ETY. occurred at the home OF Mrs. An
ma Beard on East Harvey avenue last
Wednesday evening. The affair was
out of the ordinary, in that it was a
banquet prepared and served the men.
Al McMullen, Henry Blake and Oris
Williams played the Good Samaritan
act and gave shelter and entertain
ment to happy crowd of young peo-
pie. Oris Williams reigned in the
kitchen in the role of chef and dished
up oysters, sandwiches, pickles, cake,
coffee, fruits, etc, while Al McMullen
did the juggle act with a tray and
served the edibles to the guests.
Henry Blake was one of the hosts, but
he was tied up out on the Spivey
branch that evening and could not
attend. But he paid part of the ex-
penSes of the affair and is satisfied to
know that the rest Of the folks had a
good time.
The supper was served in courses.
This is where McMullen's culture re-
ceived its crucial test, but with tips
and advice given from the ladies be.
fOrehand he got through in pretty
good shape and managed to observe
the rules OF the table service so that
the banQueterS got their victuals in
regular Oroer and style.
After supper the hosts provided
games and Otheramusemeuts for their
guests. The enjOyments of the eve
ming were many and it was not until
one o'clock was past that the guests
thought of going home. Those for
tunate enough to be present we're:

Gus HameI Wins His Suit,

Gus Hamel came out victorious last
Thursday with his suit against j. S.
HaSSler, receiver Of the q. S. land
office at Enid, OF. Gus was suing
the receiver for $3.50. A compromise
was affected, the receiver paying Gus
800 and putting up for the costs of
the cases, which amounted to con-
siderable.
la May, 1895, Gus desired to prove
up on his claim He had a contest on
his hands and proved up subject to
the decision of the secretary of tho
interior. Gus deposited $3.50 with the
receiver of the land Office at Enid, to
be applied when the secretary of the
interior settled the contest. The con-
test was decided in GuS'S favor and
when the latter asked for his final
proof papers the receiver demanded
$3.50 more, saying that someone had
called for the $3.50 in GuS's name.
The receiver had not given Gus a
receipt COR his money; he had refused
to do this. Gus could do nothing but
put up $3.50 more and bring suit
against the receiver. The case was
set for hearing before Judge McAtet
at Enid Thursday. G. E. Elliott rep
resented Gus. The compromise wa;
made and the suit dismissed from
court.
