very successful entertainment in Mears
hall last evening to an assemblage that
completely taxed the capacity OF the
hall. Harry Miller was chairman, and
choruses were rendered by pupils of
Grammar c and Il, and a party of
mixed voices. Recitations were given
by Mabel Spencer and Bertha Will
lams, and piano selections were rem
dered by Mary Morgan, Stella Mark
wick, Loretta Fagen and Ivor Price.
Gordon Evans declaimed, Charles Mat
thews gave the school history and Miss
Jessie Paff read the school prophecy.
Miss Eva Kettle sang a vocal solo,
and instrumental selections were Civ
en- by Evan Hopkins and Stephen Nc
Donough. The Misses Spencer, Wade,
Morgan, Peckins, McCracken, Harris,
Bunnell. Morgan and Snow gave drill
called the "Revel of the Maids" under
the direction of Miss Gibbs. and the ad-
dress of the evening was made by Su-
perintendent George Howell.
During the course of his remarks he
had occasion to reprimand several
young men who were bent on disturb
ing the exercises by boisterous conduct
in the rear of the hall, and also COM
plimented Professor Phillips and his
pupils on the excellence of the pro-
gramme rendered. He suggested the
holding of commencement exercises by
all the grammar grades of the city at
the close of the school term.
Professor Howell also commended
the pupils for the energy displayed in
arranging an entertainment to pur-
chase a piano for the school room, but
incidentally remarked that a musical
education must be secured by hard
work as we'll as the other branches of
study. The accompanies of the even
ing were Misses Gleason, Morse, Hop
kins, Watkins, Markwick and Ivor
Price.

ABANDONED WORKINGS SETTLE

ABANDONED WORhlNGS SETTLED
The abandoned workings Of the Rock
vein I'm the Central mine are settling
and evidences of that fact are notice
able in the vicinity Of Thirteenth and
Division streets. Within the past few
days several large openings have been
noticed in the street and in some places
are large enough 10 insert ones foot.
No particular damage has resulted
thus far. Some of the flag stones on
the sidewalk on Thirteenth street have
dropped several inches and in one place
the fence has sagged so that the gate
cannot be closed. The workings were
abandoned about three years ago.
The water mains in the vicinity of
Iuzerne street have been damaged and
the settings have extended as far as
Fourteenth street, where the founda-
ton of a dwelling house is cracked to
some extent. 1t is now believed the
settings have abated.

Senator Lucian Baker, made his
first visit to Syracuse, Tuesday. He
came in in No. s. Tuesday morning,
accompanied by Revenue Collector
Sutton and Receiver of the Dodge
City Land Office L. J. Pettiiohn.
They were met here by Hon. T. II.
Ford and Hon Alfred Pratt and other
prominent republicans of the county.
The Senator seemed to be in excell-
emit health and well pleased with the
prosperous condition that exists in
Southwest Kansas. He gave the
editor of this paper positive assurance
that he would do all in his power to
secure government aid in the con-
struction of reservoirs for the storage
of river and surface water. as that
seems to be the only possible solution
Of the question Of a supply of water
for irrigation purposes in this country.

Tae people in the North have no
idea OF the number of Northern peo-
pie who have made their homes in
the South since the close of the Civil

public speech at Chattanooga, Ten

last census was taken. nearly ten
years ago there were then residing in
Chattanooga more than eight thous-

4 Calf With Six Legs.

I. F. Garner of Peach Springs,
Arizona, who has been shipping cat
tie to this point for few years past,
has bovine freak that is attracting
some curiosity. It is a native Arizona
cali, six moaths old, which has six
legs. The two abnormal limbs are
on tie left side and project from the
left shoulder blade. One leg is larger
than the other and both limbs are
smaller than the normallegs. There
are three toes on one foot and one
toe on one foot of these legs. Both
limbs are not used in any manner ex-
cept when the calf is running when
the deformed limbs flop. There is
life in both Of them and they appear
perfectly healthy. The calf is an or
binary looking calf, of native breed,
is in good health and eats heartily.
The abnormal limbs are growing in
proportion to the body. Mr.. Garner
brought this calf to Dodge City few
days ago with herd of cattle, and
the calf can be seen at Joe Miller's
livery stable. He offers it for sale to
The highest bidder. It would afford
some curiosity in show.

L
Some interesting observations on
the cultivation of alfalfa have recent
" been made by the department of
entomology of the State University.
Early in July Professor S. ]. Hun
ter and party went into camp with
full laboratory equipment twenty-five
miles southeast of Dodge City, where
for the past three years the depart
ment has had under observation the
cultivation Of large tract Of alfalfa.
Experiments carried on under its d.
rection have resulted IN much practi
cal information for the farmers.
Three years ago request was
made by the alfalfa growers of this
region for thorough study of the
cases of the prevalence of the native
grasshoppers in the alfalfa. After
considerable investigation it was
found that the grasshoppers laid
their eggs in the alfalfa fields late in
the fall. These were Matched the
following spring, and the young in
sects devoured the sprouting alfalfa.
It was recommended that the alfalfa
land be disked in the early spring
as soon as the frost bad left the
ground, in order to expose the eggs
to destruction by birds and climatic
influences. This year over eight
hundred acres were treated in man
ner. It resulted not only in the dis
truction of the grasshoppers and the
removal of the native grasses which
frequently spring up among the alfal-
ia and threaten to reclaim the land,
but also brought about a very me-
terial increase in the yield of alfalfa.
In some places the yield was nearly
double that on land not disked.
The ground that was disked last year |
was not disked this year, and it is of
interest to note that tho beneficial Of |
fects of disking last season were con-
tlnued through both crops this year.
Tho alfalfa seems to grow more rap
idly and to mature earlier after hav-
ing been disked.

Delinquent Tax Levies.

Delinquent Tax Levies.
Tho supreme court has announced
q decision which sustains the statute
authorizing the county clerks of this
state. in cases Of delinquencies in
state taxes. to extend upon the taxroll
a levy sufficient to raise the amount
Of taxes due the state.
The case came from Edwards
county where the county clerk made
the extension to pay up back taxes,
for some years due the state. As the
Santa Fe is the principal taxpayers
the company sought to enjoin the
clerk from making and collecting the
tax.
The case reached the supreme
court and was decided against the
company. This opens the way for
the payment of delinquent taxes in
the years to come. In the past large
of these revenues have re-
unpaid and it became such a
problem that the legislature was last
winter compelled to adopt the new
plan.

crops this season, and the plant is

There is great deal of complaint
among the farmers in regard to the
prevalence of grasshoppers. In
many places they have made away
with the wheat to such an extent as
to make it necessary to seed over
again. The wheat will stand chew
ing down once but when it comes to
three or four times it is more than the
plant will stand.-Great Bend Reg
