CANNOT BUILD.
Right of Frisco to Build to
Coal Mines Denied.

II having been reported that the
Frisco was preparing to build a
switch from Coal creek south into
the Creek nation, some three or
four miles in length, the question
of their authority to do go was
raised. The interior department
declares as follows:
Reporting upon the same the
Office states that its records fail to
show that said ST. Louis and San
Francisco Railway Company has
secured authority for the location
and survey of an extension of it's
line of road as described. How
ever, under the provisions of the
act Of congress of March q, 1899,
$50 stats, 990) any railroad COM
pany duly organized under the
laws of THE United States, or OF
any state or territory may acquire
right of way through Indian re-
servations, Indian lands and In
dian allotments by complying with
its provisions and with the pro-
visions of the rules and regulations
of this department described there
under. 1t is supposed .aat if said
company is making arrangements
for the construction of a line OF
railroad as described, it contem-
plates doing so under the provis-
ions OF said act and the rules and
regulations of this department as
described hereunder. The act and
rules and regulations, however,
specifically provide that a railway
company shall not independently
attempt to negotiate with indiyid-
ual occupants and allottees for
right Of way and damages through
their lands. 1t is thought, there
fore, that no concessions or priv
ileges should be granted the COM
pany by the Indians through the
Cherokee or Creek nations. If
the company secures authority for
the survey and location Of an ex-
tension of its line of road the
question of compensation to be
paid to the Indians for right OF
way will be taken up by this Office
with the company under the pro-
visions OF said rules and regu-
lations."

SMITH AGAIN ELECTED.
Endeavored to Run Away
From the Officers.

The case against F. M. Smith,
charged with returning to the In.
dian country alter having been
elected by order of the interior de-
partment, was dismissed on mo-
ton Of the district attorney yes
terday afternoon. The trial OF
Smith a few weeks ago, as we'll
remembered, resulted in disa-
greement of the jury.
Smith was re-arrested at bis
home la the west part of town last
night, at eleven, just as be was
returning from the country,by Bud
Kell, Indian policeman. and L. p.
Isbsll, and Kell took him to Che
topa on the night train. He was
evidently taken by surprise and
started to run away from the Of
ficers and was only induced to stop
by seeing them draw their guns.
When the jury failed to agree at
the trial Of Smith, the government
Immediately set 10 work to tighten
its lines and take such steps as
would insure no miscarriage in
the next trial, should Smith re-
turn.

revenues attempted TO be collected
by the United States officials from
the Cherokees. The collection Of
moneys due this people hardly de.

that paper or individual or bank
director favors it. Ifit is law and
right, or law, with or without
right, the federal authorities will
enforce it. The collection of rev.
enues in this instance does not de-
pend ON public sentiment, but de-
pends upon the ability Of q gov
ernment to carry law into effect.

CUTS NO ICE.
Yet Fills His Icehouse with solid Cake
alta Cost of Five Cents a Ton.

Yet Fills His Icehouse with Solid Cake
alta Cost of Five Cents a Ton.
An inte esting and novel process
of procuring pure ice by natural
methods has been put in opera
tion by a resident of Claremont,
n. H, says the Boston Herald. A
year ago he had a building specially
constructed for his use. The expert
ment house is unique. 1t has no win
dows, but is four square, with a door
in each side The owner Gays he can
make ice faster in house with doors
ut the corners rather than in the mid
die of the sides; still this one does
the business. Inside the house is
what might he termed another house
"A crate-water tight and built so as
to avoid rigidity of angles, and to al
low Of the expansion of the water in
freezing. The expansionis is one-tWelflh,
so the space to be lett between the
sides of the crate and of the house
proper is easily determined. In the
early days OF experiments more than
one house was smashed by the bulgi
propensities of freezing water.
At one end of the house is stand
pipe from the main Of the Claremont
water works. The water is spring
water, but an application is made OF
electricity to still further purify it as
it stands in tanks after being drawn
from the source Of supply. 1t rusbes
first through a rubber tube to q tank
sixty feet from the main aud on the
second floor of the building. Another
tube, sixty feet long takes it to a second
tank. A third let's it run to the floor
OF the crate. AS it runs ont it moves
slowly and more slowly, like clear,
cold crystalline mo'asses still more
slN,uly- no1 o4-i -, f-.--- rTt-
builds upon itself in the crotc-torm-
ing anchor ice, not top film, and the
end is a crate OF pure, solid ice OF
such color as no one ever saw who
has been limited to ice cut from ordi-
nary ponds and rivers.
The tubes are arranged with respect
TO the openings in the building so rs
to get the maximum amount Of cold
wind blowing on them. One days
experiment illustrates the process of
freezing. The water in the standpipo
was at forty-five degrees. 1t was
eighteen minutes passing through the
tubes, aud its temperature as it issued
upon the floor of the crate was thirty
degrees or two degrees below freezing,
and total reduction of fifteen degrees,
The out-of-door temperature was at
about freezing.
If any one visits the experiment
house the owner will show him a crate
full of ice-one solid block of about
500 tons weight. The erection of
houses of the type required is easily
accomplished anywhere, and the ice
can be manufactured at a cost of about
five cents o ton.

KANSAS GIRLS AT THE FRONT,


The Fart They Have Borne in the Trenches
in the Philippines.
When the deeds of courage and valor
in the Philippines have become a part
OF familiar history one of its brightest
pages will be given to the wives and
maidens who bore part so nobly with
the Kansas troops. They were present
in the trenches, ready with their band
ages to give first aid to any stricken
soldier, and about the hospitals their
cheerful presence and deft nursing
gave comfort to many a wounded boy.
In the letters written to home folk by
the Kansas wounded the Kansas City
Journal finds mentioned the names Of
Mrs. Funston, wife of the colonel; +;
Mrs. Schlieman, wife of the chaplain;
Mrs. Buchan, wife of the Kansas City
captain; Mrs. Whitman, wife Of the
junior major, and perhaps more fre-
quently yet the names of Miss Bradner
and Miss Ollie O'Brien. Miss Bradner
went from Kansas to India several
years ago MS missionary. With tho
breaking out of the Spanish war she
proceeded to Hong Kong, and then,
after Manila had fallen, to the Philip
pine capital, where she at once in
stalled herself as nurse in the Twen-
tieth Kansas. She kept at the front
with the boys all through the late
campaign and applied the first relief
to all the wounded that came within
her reach. 1t is related by one Kansas
boy that during one of the fierce en-
gagements this young woman sat by
his side in the trenches, coolly pass
ing cartridges to him as fast as he
could fire.
Miss Ollie O'Brien is Topeka girl
who went to Manila last summer on
pleasure bent. She accompanied Mrs.
Stutensburg, wife of a regular army
officer who is now serving with the
volunteers from Nebraska. When the
wounded commenced to come from the
front she volunteered to go into the
hospital as nurse, and she has at
tended to her duties faithfully and
well. Miss O'Brien is naturally of the
army. When bit of n babe she was
adopted into the family Of Captain NJ.
O'Brien, and the people of Hays City
remember well the pretty little girl
who used to fit about their town when
the captain was stationed at nearby
fort.
Miss O'Brien is tasting for the first
time in her life the delight of being
something in the world besides a social
favorite. She writes to friends that
there is no other word but GLORIOUS. V
She is learning to be thrilled by the
crash of guns, the tramp of men and
the blast of bugle. The flag is no
longer a pretty rag futtering in the
whilom breezes-it is the soul of
nation, speaking its serious thoughts.
When she wraps the wounds of
patriots she feels that she is soothing
the hurts of her country, and the
strength and broadness of it is coming
to her like a great light out of dark
ness. All of this Miss O. Brien tells in
her letters, and she says she is not
shocked nor grieving, but happy
fiercely happy.

Wise men tell us that one of the
character that will not be daunted by
repeated rebuffs aud opposition. At
least one young man in Chicago has
learned by experience that persistence
pays. Only few years ago he was q
messenger boy in one of the largest
wholesale dry goods establishments in
the world, and certainly the largest in
Chicago The boy determined that his
S} week salary was not enough, so
he complained to the head messenger.
''Why, can't raise your wages;
don't have anything to do with that, !"
explained the head messenger
'Well, who shall go to?" asked
the boy.
"Try the head foorman," was the
reply.
The boy went to the head foorman
and made his wants known. The head
foorman didn't care to be both cred
with the boys affairs, so he remarked,
off-hand, "Oh, guess you would
better see Mr. So-and-So," naming the
proprietor of the vast establishment.
But the boy was not daunted by the
knowledge that he was the least of
thousands Of employees whose names
even were probably not known to the
proprietor. The first time he saw
that gentleman walking down the
great centre aisle of the main floor of
the building he stopped him and asked
for raise in salary.
''How much are you making, my
boy?" asked the great man, kindly.
'tThree dollars week, sir" replied
the boy.
''How old are you?" was the next
question from the proprietor.
Fourteen years." responded the
messenger.
'My son." said the great man, very
gravely, "when I was your age I
didn't make that much"
"Well, sir, perhaps you weren't
worth it then,' replied the boy with
great earnestness.
The proprietor laughed in spite OF
himself and the boy was given better
position and more pay Today he is
at the head Of one of the departments
in the great store, and the story was
told by one who knows him well. -
