WANT THE DAY RIDE.
Kansans Against Night Trip Through
Their State.

SAN FRANClsco, Oct l7.-The
members Of the Kansas regiment
want to ride through Kansas in the
daytime. This was determined by Il
tent-to-tent canvass made yesterday
The soldiers were enthusiastic in dis
cussing the forthcoming trip from
San Francisco to Topeka and nine
tenths of the men In the command
preferred to spend night in Topeka
rather than miss the day ride through
western Kansas. Although the regi.
ment Is to be mustered out Nov. 3,
the men will not leave for Kansas un-
til two days later. The date Of actual
departure Of the regiment was fixed
today by Colonel Metcalf after CON
sultation with Adjutant Fox for the
evening Of Nov. 5. This is still sub
ject to u change in the hour Of de-
parture so as to meet the wishes OF
the command in respect to day run
through western Kansas.

Salina Liked It.

Salina Union: Abilene has every
reason 10 be proud of her carnival.
1t was better than many expected.
The visitors were pleasantly surpris.
ed aud well entertained.
Salina Republican: The Abilene
Corn Carnival was in every way a
magnificent success, attracting a
crowd not over-estimated at $4,000.
The parade was very fine, embracing
both the sublime and the ridiculous,
and was generally commented on as
one OF the best ever seen in the State.
The outside and inside decorations Of
the business houses were very fine and
the window decorations decidedly
original and beautiful.
The crowd was very orderly day and
night, and while there was much
sport there was no serious mischief,
few drunken men and no accidents Of
consequence.

COURT BY rELEPHoNE.
Dickinson County Does Business in
Up.to-Da Manner.

This county is right up-to-date in
its legal methods. Last week war
rant was issued from Chapman for
the arrest OF party charged with as
sault and battery. The defendant
heard Of it but was not arrested,
keeping out Of the way. He en-
ployed Senator Hessin Of Manhattan
to take care OF the case for him. 1t
was not q serious matter and the de-
PENDANT was guilty. So MIR. Hessin
called up on the long distance tele-
phone the justice of the peace in
Chapman who had Jurisdiction Of the
case and inquired if the case. was
pending and learned that it was. He
then called County Attorney Smith at
Abilene who in turn called the justice
into a conference. The result was
that Mr.. Hessin entered the appear
ance Of the defendant at Chapman, 80
miles away, by phone, pleaded guilty
for him by phone and the justice i'm
posed a fine Of IS ana costs by phone
and Mr.. Hessin RENTED it by draf.
in the afternoon mail. Presumably
justice may be dispensed after awhile
without court houses or the formality
of trials therein.

DEATH ON THE GRIDIRON.

ing the Game.

George S. Thurston, the fullback
on the Delphos football team, was
killed at Delphos Saturday on the

Delphos team and the team from the

almost instantly. He was carried
from the field but was dead almost as
soon as picked up. The game imme-
diately stopped.

SIGNS OF a MID WINTER.
The Weather Observer Makes Some
Predictions,

AAVuAStkVuns
T. Connor, United States weather
observer at Kansas City. refuses to
take the responsibility for predicting
what the winter will be, but expects
it to be mild. Mr.. Connor does not
give a scientific reason to support
them and 1t is not the custom of the
weather bureau to make long range
predictions. Going little outside Of
the custom, Mr.. Conner said immed-
lately after the Kirksville tornado in
May that there would be no more
destructive tornadoes in Kansas City's
vicinity. Then he predicted sum-
mer without hot winds and a fall
without an equinoctial storm. In all
OF these he was correct. Following
the same general course Of reasoning
he is prepared to show that Kansas
may reasonably expect its usual mild
winter, preceded by long season Of
agreeable weather called, for want of
a better term, Indian summer.
"The coming winter won't be any
thing like the last one," he said, "but
anybody can make that prediction as
a rough guess, for we only have such
winters about once in thirty years.
But there are good scientific reasons
for saying that the coming winter
won't be nearly so severe as the last.
| won't be responsible for any further
prediction than that, because there
are too many elements that 90 to
make up a winter, and nobody can
tell very much about it in advance.
In fact only an omniscient Providence
can tell with certainty"
The conditions weather observer
figures on are very different from
those ordinarily considered Ivy the
average weather prophet. Early
frost does not mean a cold winter but
usually quite the contrary. Last
year the first frost came with the first
snow on October II. This year the
first frost was September 26 and in
three days was followed by another
little more severe. But Lost fall be-
gan with series Of rains that fell al
most every day of the first twenty
days Of the month while this year
September was mild and normal con.
ditions existed.
