noatlnr C.pabilisles Of WOOD.

From time immemorial soft wood
has been regarded as comparatively
valueless for heating purposes. Hard
wood has brought high prices and has
been in much greater demand than
soft, on account Of this generally pre-
vailing notion. Experiments with
woods of various sorts have demon
strated that the linden, which is one OF
the softest Of woods, gives the greatest
amount of heat. The value Of other
woods in their order, as ascertained. Is

A Murder story.

The police during the last week or
two have been spending some energy
uselessly in trying to trace down sup
posed heinous crime, An officer from
down in the eastern part Of the state,
at Pittsburg, we believe, wrote up
here claiming that a woman in that
county had confessed to being an eye
witness to a murder which had never
come out, According to her story one
Jack Cavenaugh had some time in
1896 willfully and maliciously pushed
another man into a salt vat, The
crime as told in the letters to the Of
flcers h ere occurred in the Crystal salt
works. Marshal Hedden made trip to
the salt works to inquire into the mat
ter, but 80 far as he could end out
there was no foundation for the story
Hutchinson gazette., 1900-08-30

whatever, He Is Of the opinion that
some designing woman is either for
purposes Of revenge on some one here,
or in an attempt to get money, "work
ing the officer who opened communi-
cation with the OFF GERS here,
About that time there was crime
committed in the rear Of the national
bank where one Mike Clifton was
found with his head mashed in 30 that
he soon died. How 1t was done has al
ways remained profound misterY.
and some thought the woman in this
story might have some information to
divulge in this connection. But Mr..
Hedden informs us that the letters
had no reference to that crime, but
gave the details as reported above,

The Kansas City papers have had
considerable to say OF late in the form
of interviews with one F. A, Higbee,
u Chicago capitalist and broker who
asserted that he ia organizing u syndi-
cate to enter the Kansas Salt fields,
Mr.. Higbee ii Is said was in this city a
short time before these interviews we're
given the Kansas City papers, looking
over the field, accompanied by q rep
resentative Of the Armor Packing Co,
If arew company is to really tier the
field 1t Is altogether likely to locate
here on account Of the very superior
railroad facilities. However it is
thought by many that this new man Is
only attempting to huff the salt trust
for better rates to the beef trust for
the salt they use in packing. The prob
ability il that is about the situation.
But II the bluff doesn't succeed ii may
result in the establishment Of a new
plant by the latter to furnish their own
salt. Ii that should be done however
the Importance Of railroad connections
in all directions Is not so essential, as
oil the salt would be shipped to Kan
sas City and Chicago.

Not because Of the sensational Grim
inal cases which usually attract the
most attention, for the criminal cases
are not very numerous being only
twenty in number and in most cases
not such as are considered very ser.
ious in character The remarkable
part is in the fact that of the 100 civil
cases thirty-one are on divorce pro-
ceedings. This is many more than
were ever before filed in the district
court at one term, Some of them are
very much on the sensational order in
