MANY people have said that the road
will not be built. but am inclined to
think that it Will. There is more to the
matter than the average person thinks
for and if the proper arrangements are

we are some distance from you. but the
fact that the road would be direct to
your city would be beneficial TO all
parties concerned. 1t might mean better
rates for all parties in this part Of the

now, but If that road is to be built you
can just count on Council Grove having

DEAL WILL Be CLOSED
Site of New Mill Will be Sc
cured by Mr. Watson.
CONTRACTS BEING MADE
Announced That Railroads
Have Made Concessions.

Within the next two or three days the
deal for the property on which Wat
sons new mill is to be located viii be
closed up. The men interested are work
ing on the matter and unless something
unforeseen happens the property will be
secured without any trouble. This means
that the mill viii be located here and
that the erection will begin as soon as
the material can be gotten on the ground.
Mr.. B. 2. Mclean will have the con-
tract for furnishing the lumber and as
soon as the estimate of the amount can
he secured it will be ordered Mr.. Wat
son is busy with his plans and expects
to have everything arranged within a
few days so that he can go east for a
few days He has been figuring with
contractors and builders and will place
the matter in the hands Of the contrac-
tor within a short time.
Wichita people are particularly glad to
know that the mill is to be located in
this city. 1t is a. large institution and
few Wichita people have a conception of
what it really means. The capacity is
seven hundred barrels per day. and Mr.
Watson says that ne viii run the mill
at its full capacity al Of the time.
If it IS possible the structure will be
completed and ready for business within
four months. That is what the estimate
of the time is placed at now. It may take
longer than that If the material should
be slow in arriving. This mill will give
Wichita a much better market than what
the city has had before and it will be
the beginning OF a new industry in the
city.
Railroads Grant Concessions.
1t was announced yesterday that the
railroads had granted the concessions for
which Mr.. Watson had been asking. This
was one thing that had been delaying
the mill matter and now since it has
been decided another factor which delay
ed the matter has been removed. Mr..
Watson's first announcement was that
he would erect the mill here providing
the railroads would give the proper
switching facilities. etc. This matter was
taken uD with the railroads and the
superintendent held a conference about
the switches a. short time ago. The ground
was surveyed and the reports of the con-
ditions were received by the railroad men.
It viii not be much trouble to put in
the switches and It may be possible that
they will be placed in position before the
mill IS erected in order to place the ma
terial right on the site of the proposed
structure. If other matters can be ar
ranged within a few days, the contracts
for the work win he let soon.

WEEDS MARVELLOUS CURES.
Mountaineer Ftnds Simple Remedy
for Bite of Mad Dogs
and Snakes.

A mountaineer named Vincent, who
lives on Lookout mountain near Dur
ham, Ga, strobe into that village to find
1t excited over the appearance of mad
dog. He drove the villagers indoors,
and, unarmed, awaited the coming of
the dog, which, after desperate strug-
gle, he strangled. Applying to the
wounds poisonous weed known to the
mountaineers as gall of the earth, he
was healed. To further demonstrate
the curative properties OF the weed, he
permitted copperhead and a rattle
snake to bite him and was successfully
healed. He went to picnic at Lulu lake
on Lookout mountain with three rat
tlesnakes. In the presence of the crowd
ne worried the snakes, making them
bite him until they would do so no more.
He finally put his tongue in the snakes
mouth. He begged those present to let
the snakes bite them, guaranteeing a
cure. newspaper correspondent paid
Vincent 50 cents TO show him the weed,
but he declined to try its merits. A
young man resent. however, did so
and after being struck twice by the
snake, applied the weed to the bite and
ate portion of it, no bad effect re-
sulting. The ignorant mountaineers
are excited over Vincent's acts, and
think him possessed of supernatural
powers. On Saturday he cured a young
man who was attacked by a copper
head. although it was two hours be-
fore he reached him. A pointer dog be-
longing to a citizen of Chattanooga,
while hunting, was bitten by copper
head. An application of the weed and
a small portion mixed in milk cured the
dog.

KING OSCARS LITTLE JOKE.

there, but was about to take a drive.

AS they waited in the corridor a royal
carriage drew up at the foot of the
staircase. A moment later the king APP

HEADS LIST OF EXPORTS.
Cotton Can Assin RiRhtfuIiy Lay
Claim TO the Title
of King.

Cotton is again king" in the ex-
port record of the United States. Dol
lar wheat In 1898 brought the exporta-
ton of breadstuffs far above the cot
ton, but ten-cent cotton in 1900 brings
that agricultural product again into,
first place in the record of exports
by single articles. The seven months
ending with July. 1860. shows an ex-
portation of cotton amounting to '$142,-
576lo97. while of breadstuffs the total
expectation during the same period
was $i3s.3o4.529, that of provisions
$l06,s0s,s56. and that Of mineral oil, the
next largest item. s39. 49s.151. The gem
eral group. manufactures" is larger
than that of cotton alone, but no sim
gle item or even the group of bread
stuffs," which includes, wheat, corn,
oats. barley, rye. etc, equals cotton
during the seven months ending with
July, 1900.
Cotton expectations and movements
are measured usually by what is
termed the cotton year" which ends
with the month of August. The bu-
reau of statistics has just received the
record of August expectations and is
thus able to make up the figures for
the cotton year" and compare them
with those of the preceding year. Thes =
reports, which are of preliminary ma
ture. include about os per cent. of the
total exports of cotton. and as the COM
parison of the present year is made
with similar reportsof preceding years
the relative showing for the various
years is fair one.
A study of the expectation of cotton
supplied by these figures shows that
the exports of raw cotton during the
cotton year ending with August, 1900,
are greater in value than in any pre-
ceding cotton year since 1892, and the
average price per pound greater than
on any occasion since 1898, except in
the year 1896.

NEW BATTLE BEING wAGED.
Another Attempt to Prove Heir~hfp
40 Part of the Big A. II. Stew
art Estate.

A fresh battle for the millions les..
by A. I. Stewart is to be commenced in
the supreme court this fall by prom
inent lawyers, who have been collect
ing evidence for more than three years.
Thousands of dollars have been spent
in gathering information on both sides
of the Atlantic, and the attorneys as
sert that they have overwhelming
proof to establish the kinship of their
client to the dead millionaire.
The petition for the probate of the will
of A. T. Stewart declared that he had
no heirs, and it was the failure to prove
the falsity of this statement that re-
suited in the setting aside by tie courts
of the claims made by previous con-
testants. In the coming litigation.
however, there viii figure prominently
an autograph letter of a. T. Stewart.
the authenticity of which. it is claimed
is established by unquestionable evil
dence, in which he acknowledged the
kinship of a certain nephew several
years before his death. This nephew.
though of advanced age. is still hale and
hearty, and will be one of many wit
nesses called.
No attempt will be made to get hold
OF the property which went to the
widow. but they will strive to get that
which went to Judge Hilton.

CHASED BY A CINNAMON BEAR
Thrilling Experience of a Hunting
Party ON q Colorado
Hallway.

Robert Martin, a well-known hunt
er and cattleman of Archuleta county,
Col, arrived at Denver the other day
and related an experience that he had
just passed through with a big Gin
namon bear. Martin was with Rio
Grand section gang in Cumbres pass
repairing ties and travelling by means
of a handcar. Work had hardly COM
menced before little cinnamon bear
appeared in search of its mother.
The men captured the cub after
strategic moves and tied him to the
handcar, which was put on the track.
He Immediately commenced to howl
for the dam. and in a few minutes a
big, lean, lank mother made her APP
pearance and started for her cub with
blood in her eye. The men immedi-
ately rushed the car toward the down
grade and started to work. with the
bear ten feet behind. The harder the
men worked the faster the bear ran.
and Martin, who was sitting with his
feet hanging over the rear of the car
had one shoe torn off by her claws in
a sudden squirt. Another jump and
the dam almost made the car, but fell,
but was on her feet in a moment.
For three miles the bear chased the
car on down grade and was only
stopped by gulch trestle. The cub
remained the section mems trophy.

Indian Snake JuR9Iers.

Capt. r. H. Ellitt, who has been for
some time conducting researches into
the nature and action of snake venom
in India, has arrived at the following
conclusions: First. the snake men of
South India are certainly ignorant of
any method of producing of them
selves nightly developed condition of
Immunity; second, some few of them
appear to practice the swallowing of
venom or the INJUNCTION of venom into
their limbs, but It is doubtful if they
thus obtain some degree of immuniza-
ton; third. they confine themselves al
most exclusively TO the cobra and es-
cape harm by their intimate knowledge
of the methods of handling this snake.
