was that he was not in the least sick
and has not been. Nevertheless it was
thought best to put him in a cell by
himself and to quarantine him. Jailer
Lawson is watching to see If any more

way, and nothing is allowed to go out

CAN NOT ESCAPE.
All Land Liable For Taxes For School
Purposes

The attorney general has rendered an
opinion in which he holds that all land
outside of government reservations in
Kansas should be taxed for school pur-
poses.
This point reached the attorney gen
eral in a letter of inquiry from the
superintendent of Edwards county
Cattlemen operating a large tract of
land there declined to pay taxes for
school purposes although families living
thereon attended the neighbOring
schools. The superintendent proposed
to attach the land operated by these
men to school districts for the purposes
of taxation but they protested and
questioned his right to do so.
The question was referred to the at
torney general who holds that the land
should be taxed and that the superin-
tendent has the power to attach the
land to districts for such PURPOSES.

Engine and Train Men.

Austin, Texas, Nov. 2.-The railroad
tra1nmen of the state are considerably
aroused over the rapid inauguration of
the "dOuble-header'' system on n number
Of the principal railways in Texas. Local
lodges of the brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen throughout the state have ad-
opted resolutions cOndemning the new
practice and petitioning Governor Savers
to call upon the legislature at its coming
special session to pass a law prohibiting
the use of "double-headers" on railroad

In addition TO receiving numerous writ

Sayers has been waited on recently by
several delegations of railway trainmen,
who urged the necessity of legislative re-
lief from the alleged dangers that daily
confront them on a number of roads It
IS probable that the governor viii recon-

line across the state of Iowa 1t is now
practically a level road from one river to

The Burlington was built years ago
through Iowa and no conception was had
at that time of the immensfty of the traf-

made to avoid grades or curves. Twenty
miles an hour then was swift moving and
the old line was not calculated for 30
mile gait All of the grades have been
reduced to a maximum OF thirty-five feet
to the mile and the curves have been
swung out eliminated by cutOffs Long

laid at the stations so that the line is

SANTA FE ELECTRIC PLANT.
Believed That Such an Improvement
Will Be Made at Wellington.

Wellington, Nov. 21.-It is reported in
railroad circles that the Santa Fe rail
road company is figuring on establish
ing an electric light plant in the yards
in this city. The plant is to be run by
a stationary engine in the shops. The
lights will be quite an advantageous
Improvement to night wOrkmen.
1t is not definitely settled that this
Improvement will be made, though it
is very probable. Wellington railroad
officials refuse to give out much infor-
nation about it. The plant would add
greatly to the company's interests here
and increase its property value. Be
sides it would be a good Improvement
for Wellington.
The plant will cost a large amount of
money as the company figures not only
on lighting the shops but the yards and
freight and union depOts.

Taunton, Mass, Nov. 21-Joseph F.
McMahon was shot and probably fatal
ly wounded while asleep at his home
here early this morning. John Gala
CHER, McMahon's brother-in-law, it is
alleged, did the shooting. The occu-

fired. Five bullets entered McMahons s
body. Several women in nearby rooms
awakened by the sound of the shots,
rushed into McMahOn's room where
they saw Gallagher standing with a
smoking pistol in his hand. Two men
seized him, but he freed himself and
fled. No one seems to know what led

EXPORT GRAIN BLOCKADE
CofsyviIle Has a Practical Demon
stration of Prosperity.

Kansas City has often taxed about
her railroad yards being blockaded,
says the Coffeyville Journal but no
blockade there is to be compared to
the one just lifted from the Missouri
Pacific yards in this city. The blockade
here was caused by an unusually large
consignment of grain for export. Nearly
all Of this goes south over the Iron
Mountain.
To relieve the crowded yards here it
has been necessary to haul W hole trains
of grain to the sidings at Lenapa.h, No
wata, Talala and OOlagah, from twelve
to thirty miles south of here and leave
them there until the yards could be
opened here. This was done all week
SOuthbOund freight trains have been
run in as many as five sections and ev-
cry Vailable car and engine has been
pressed into service.
