A number of complaints have
been heard lately about some of Cot
tonwood's young hoodlums stoning
people, assaulting young girls, and
breaking windows, etc. The busi-
ness men, or some of them, are said
to have been very indignant over
these outrages, but, as usual, they
did nothing. This hoodlumism will
get the perpetrators into serious
trouble. such dastardly acts will
not go very long unpunished.
The riding of bucking btoncho's
OH the STREETS, must stop. The bron-
cho buster may enjoy little cheap
notoriety for the time being, but he
does so at the expense of the safety
of little children on the streets. All
open country lies all around the vii
lage and there is ample room for
breaking wild horses without en-
dangering people on the streets.
The presidents of the Transvaal
republics have begun peace negotia-
tions, SO as to throw the blame for
the slaughter of British troops where
Tit justly belongs. The British war
department refuses to entertain any
| proposals looking toward peace. Old
England has no love for republics,
and will use every effort to crush
independence wherever it seems to
be to her interests to do so.
Speaking Of modern economic
methods in saving and utilizing by
products, a cotton-aeed oil maker
said recently in New Orleans;

nearly as we'll as you Chicago
packers, who utilize all Of the pig
except his squeal.
We have just organized d COM
pany, said the Chicago man, to take

cylinders for ein toy pigs.-AX.
Fred Rustemeyer, a farmer, resi-.
ding hear Greencreek, seven miles
north east of town, was arrested on
Tuesday by deputy sheriff Carter OF
Whitman county Wash, on a charge
of embezzlement. Rustemeyer was
administrator Of the estate OF his
brother.in, law near Uniontown, and
the charge is, based on an unpaid
claim against the estate that Ruste
meyer was to have paid. Ruste-
mgyer is classed amongst our very
best citizens and they believe that
he can explain everything to the
satisfaction of everybody interested.

CAUGHT BY BOOK AGENT.
Topeka People Ask the Court For
Protection.

There is a case fled in the city court
by R. J. Bodmer against John F. Nc
Manus. The suit is for s29, which Bod
per claims is due him for ten volumes
of THE Messages and Papers of the
Presidents A similar suit was tried
several months ago in the same court,
the parties to the suit being Bodiner
and NJ. D. Henderson, and Mr.. Hen
derson won.
The suit came about this way: Al
book agent came to town and sold Mr..
McManus, and also number of other
people. what he called The Messages
and Papers of the Presidents The
book was in ten volumes and was hand
somely illustrated with steel engravings
and was bound in Morocco-at least
the sample was. 1t cost only s34 five
paid down. When the books arrived
they proved to be a very poor set in
every respect and not up to the sample.
The agent said he represented the
committee on distribution composed
of A. r. Spofford, w. E. HaIlam, James
Richardson. and r. J. Bodmer 1t is
the same company and the same busi-
ness that caused a stir in congress.
Bodmer claims that he bought out the
rest of the committee and now wants
to collect the balance due on the
books.

How hard it often is to earn and

reputation. so it is with other things in

founded on intrinsic value. They face

Railroad News of General and
Local Character.

Chicago. June 22.-The Iowa Central
railroad changed hands here yesterday,
representatives Of the Southern Pacific
and Santa F'e systems assuming owner
ship and management. This is said to
be the first of a series Of steps to be Ia
ken toward the greatest railway consol-
idation ever contemplated. It is as
serted that the Southern Pacific and
Santa B'e systems have combined to pre-
vent the Hartman interests from gain
ing too much power yet at the same
time the three systems are to work to-
gether for the maintenance of rates.
1t seems to be the conclusion of the
