The Fhird Party Move.

In last weeks issue Of the GOOdland
News there appeared a call for a con-
vention to nominate an independent
county ticket, and was signed by five
individuals who have been recognized
as pOpulists.
The reason for the call looks toward
Hthe preservation Of the peoples party
In Sherman county, and to the end
that those who hold the principles Of
the party as a matter Of right, may not
be compelled to choose between demo
Gratis and republicans when exercising
the right Of franchise"
George Austin, whose name appeared
as one Of the signers to the call, was in
town this week, and when asked about
the move said that he knew knOthing
Of the matter until he arrived In town,
and that the using Of his name was IN
authorized Mr.. Austin also said that
he would have nothing to do with it.
What a shadow Of uncertainty as to
the authority for using the other names
subscribed to it, IS thus thrown about
the whole proceeding? Then, too, the
call appeared in the GOOdland News
a republican newspaper.
Hear the conclusion Of the whole
matter; 1t Is a republican scheme in
tended to create a schism In the ranks
Of the opposition. If the republican
party is noted for one thing more than
for another, it is for its cunning.

WILL BE THE SHORTEST.
The Rock Islands New Line From Chi
cagO TO Los Angeles Several Miles
Less Than the Santa Fe.

The shortest route from Chicago to
Los Angeles, Cal, will be formed By
the extension Of the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific railway from Liberal,
Kan, to White Oaks, n. NJ, distance
OF about 36O miles
The length Of the new route from
Chicago to Los Angeles will be 2,195
miles, or 20 miles shorter than the
Santa Fe route. Faster time can be
made over the new route than the fig
ures Of mileage indicate, because the
country IN New Mexico through which
it will pass is less mountainous than
that trsversed By the Santa Fe route.
The distance from Chicago to Liberal
via the Rock Island road is s6s miles.
The line to be built from Liberal to
White Oaks viii be about $50 miles.
At White Oaks connection viii be made
with the FL Paso & Northeastern rail
road, the distance from White Oaks 70
Fl Paso being 155 miles. The Southern
Pacific viii be used from FL Paso 70

those places BY that line being SO

the new route from Chicago 70 the

The verdict given By the general
public that the Great Rock Island
Route has the best dining car service
in the world, VIII not be disputed by
patrons who have used this line. Thous-

A GOLDFISH STORY.
why a Butcher Paid SO so for x Knocking
Down the Photographed and Destroy
ing Package Of Merchandise.
J. B. Penn, the butcher, was fined

J.B. Penn, the butcher, was fined So
and costs, making $1,000 in all, in Jus
tice Calvert's court Saturday night for
assault upon @. E. Durham, the photo
grapher.
A little business deal between Mrs.
Penn and Mrs. Durham, whereby some
gold fish were transferred to the latter
for 1918, one half of which was to be
paid in photographs, was the prime
cause of Mr.. Penn's expensive blow.
That the fish died soon after coming
into possession Of the Dunham's is only
a little side act in the comedy. Mrs.
Penn did not appear for a sitting for
the photographs, but instead sent sew
eral urgent duns for the money through
Mr.. Penn. As Mr.. Durham was pas
sing the Penn market Saturday evening
on his way TO the depot to take train
for his home in Colby, he was Rccosted
by Mr. Penn about the pay for the gold
fish, which ended by Penn knocking
Durham down. The photographer had
q package of merchandise under each
arm for use during the two weeks clap
sing before making his next business
visit to GOOdland, one package being
broken in the fall and the contents
spilled upon the walk. Mr.. Durham
followed Penn into the market where
he thOUghtlessly laid the remaining
package on the counter, but did not
attempt to retaliate as Penn is large
and Durham small. Instead the photo
grapher fled complaint against the
butcher, but after the trial Durham
missed his package and had also missed
his train.

A New Appendicitis, Theory.
saturday Evening POst.I


In these days when appendicitis is so
common an silment, the doctors are
putting forth every effort to arrive at
a clearer understanding OF il. The
time has long gone By since the grape
seed and the toothbrush thistle were
held accountable, and We may now eat
our grapes and brush our teeth with
out the mensce Of q month in the hos
pital. Medical men generally agree
that appendicitis is due to the presence
Of bacillus.
One Of the latest and most ingenious
theories to account for the malady is
that put forth By a medical man, who
believes that it is caused by the habit
Of sitting with the legs crossed. Nine
men out Of ten-leavinR tailOrs out Of
reokoning-spend many Of their seden-
tary hours with the right leg crossed
over the left. As the vermiform appen-
dix is on the right side, is requires no
great stretch Of the imagination to be
Iievs that such a posture may crsmp
and construct the little sac to an extent
sufficient to canse trouble. Whether
OF not this explanation be accepted,
there can be no harm in crossing ones
legs the other way about.
