HOLLANDS TULIP CRAZE.
Twelve Acres Of City Property Were

TN the year 1894 the tulip craze In
Holland" writes Clifford Howard In
Ladies' Home Journal, became 30

neglected, No one wanted to do any
thing but raise tulips. A rare speci.
men offered for sale called forth e1.

lookout for special varieties. II waa
rumored at one time that there were
but two bulbs Of the Semper Augustus

was owned by florist in Haarlem,
and the other by dealer in Amster.
dam. This rumor was sufficient 10
arouse the liveliest commotiou In tulip
circles, and dealers and fanciers hur-
ried forward with offers to purchase
each one endeavoring to outbid the
other. The competition became 20
eager that finally one man offered IL

DOGS KILLED BY GAS.
Humane Method of DispOsing Of
Them Adopted by the Chicago
Humane Society,

The Chicago Humane society has at
last hit upon a novel but effectual
means of disposing Of vagrant ours be-
fore the heat of summer sets in. They
are being gathered up from the streets
and asphyxiated by gas, reports the
Tribune. Calls are responded to by
the Humane society when made by
residents Of the city who may be both
cred by stray dogs. A number of wom-
en-, actuated by humanitarian impulses,
are cooperating with the society to
gather up the animals left to wander
and starve along the thoroughfareS
1t is largely due to their repeated re-
quests for milder means of destroy
ing dogs that the new scheme of ex-
termination by gas has been brought
about. They consider death by shoot
ing an unnecessarily painful process.
A small metal tank closely sealed
with tight cover is filed with COM
mon Illuminating gas admitted by a
tube. A small aperture in the cover
permits the air to be forced out. Into
this tank, one at time, the dogs are
dropped, the gas turned on, and in 80
seconds they are unconscious and in
less than a minute they are hfeless.
Two feet Of gas is considered sufficient
quantity to kill a dog, and the expense
amounts TO practically the same as the
bullet.

NOTED WAGERS

One man afflicted with the gambling

10 pay anyone guinea 9 day for each
day Napoleon lived, provided the taks1
would pay 100 guineas down. A clergy.
man accepted the offer and made fnt
profit as Napoleon lived three yesrs.

A man who was reckless Of hte offered

ship. Neither the man nor the shil

Sir John slade, very small man,
bet S5,Ooe that he could carry a friend
who weighed about FIVE times as much
as himself distance Of 200 yards. Tha
day came and large assembly of men
and women gathered to witness the re-
markable deed. Sir John told his friend
to remove his clothes-that he had
agreed to carry the man, not the gar.
ments. OF course the friend refused
and lost the money.

TO BOOM KANSAS.
The Rock Island Makes a Less Than One
Pare Rate for Eastern iomeseekers.

The Rock Island has come TO the
relief OF the organization which the
Commercial Clu0s Of The various cities
Of Kansas have formed Tor the Dur
pose OF stimulating immigration iutO
the state and has put low rate of
fare 10 ELECT from all points in llll-
nois 10 to all points In Kausas along
the Rock lslaDd line. The low rate
OF fare will make it possible for tue
people OF the east TO visit Kansas at a
moderate sum, and will at the same
time redOund 10 the benefit OF kan
sas and her resources.
The Rock lsland recently Submitted
proposition to the Western Passen-
ger association proposing an extreme.
ly low round trip rate from points in
Illinois 10 all points in Kansas on It's
line. The proposition was negatiyed
oy the chairman CT the association,
whereupOn Mr.. Sebastian, general
passenger agent OF the Rock Island
road, gave notice that the Rock Is
land would take Independent action
10 the matter and would put into ef-
feet the cheap rate propo.ed. This
rdJe Is d blanket rate Of SIS from Chi
cagO and Sl2 from all stations south
west OF Joliet On the Rock Island
road to all stations 10 Kansas. Tickets
will be sold at these low rates on
October 2 and l6, and are good for
twenty days stay in Kansas.
The rate Is from s3 to SIS lower
than the one way rate used for the
hOmeseekers' excursions. This gives
the western portion OF Kansas, like
Philllpoburg, Goodland and yelling
ton, the same low rate as would be
given 70 Topeka, and in long distances
would make a rate OF less than one
cent per mile each way.
With the large passenger traffic at
present being moved over the Kansas
railroads, and the scarcity on every
railroad Of passenger equipment to
carry the regular rate OF three certs
per mile, 1t must be appreciated that
this is a most extraordinary offer on
the part Of the Rock Island to help
the state, trusting for furthur devel-
Opement to recompense the company.
1t has been suggested that all COM
mercial clubs and the people Of Kan.
sas individually issue invitations and
secure as large a representation as
possible Of Illinois people to come to
Kansas while these low rates are in
force on the Rock Island.

The Lesson Taught by the Jubilee.

Wellington has been taught a lesson
during the Sumner County Jubilee
and Wheat Carnival which will cer-
tainly prove Of great benefit to the
city.
Whatever may be the criticisms or
opinions Of the entertainment as a
whole, it is certain that no other
attraction given in this state during
the last ten years has resulted in a
greater advertisement Of the agricul
tural resources Of this portion Of
Kansas.
Contrary to what we expected,
Wichita and Winfield gave the Jubi-
lee very little patronage in spite Of
the fact that Wellington people have
gone in large numbers to those two
cities upon all occasions of even ordi-
nary merit.
1t is not in spirit of resentment
toward the people OF Wichita aId
Winfield but to impress upon our own
people the importance OF building up
their own city that this article is
written.
One Of the largest property holders
in this city who has no interest what.
ever in any kind Of mercantile estab.
lishment said to a VOICE reporter:
Heretofore my family has been 10
the habit Of buying great many
goods at Wichita and Kansas City
without fully realizing the injury we
are doing Wellington. After this we
intend to buy our goods at home and
10 instances where the merchants
haven't what we want in stock we
will let them order 1t for u.s..
A Caldwell business man said:
Wellington has done great deal to
advertise the resources Of Sumner
county. l am first In favor OF build.
ing up Caldwell, but this Jubilee has
convinced me that Wellington is be-
coming her old self once more and l
am assured that the growth Of the
county seat will help every portion OF
the county, Caldwell included. l
hope people In Caldwell will buy their
merchandise aG home, but II they will
leave home at all, l would much pre-
fer that they come to our own county
seat than 90 elsewhere. Every dollar
Of increased wealth at Wellington is
taxed for county purposes and neces-
sarily lessons the burden on tax payers
at Caldwell and every other portion
Of the county"
Sentiment similar to The above was
expressed by the citizens Of Belle
Plains, Oxford, South Haven, Conway
Springs, Argonia and in fact from
almost every city village, and town In
the county. The Jubilee has brought
the people Of Wellington closer TO-
gether than they have been for years.
II has stimulated city pride and put
In the hearts Of our people a deter.
mination to work increasingly for the
upbuilding not only OF the city but
the magnificent county Of which 1t is
the capital.
Many ladies who have heretofore
been In the habit Of going away for
their supplies Of different kinds or OF
sending orders to foreign houses, have
determined that hereafter they will
trade at home aud do their part 10
building up the city In which they
make their home.
Wellington should not be selfish OF
narrow, but self preservation is the
first law Of nature and probably the
chief reason why we are not today az
great city as either Wichita or Win.
field Is that we have wasted our sub
stance 10 going away from home when
we could have benefited ourselves
and our city as a whole by remaining
at home.
