THE LARGEST HORSE RANCH
In the World to be Located in
Western Kansas.
CONTAINS THIRTY SECTIONS,

Kansas City, June 17.-Captain W.
S. Tough, OF this ci@y, will soon estab
lsh the largest horse ranch in the
world. A large portion of the lands
belonged to the Union Pacific company
but it was necessary to acquire few
sections held by outside parties in
order to make solid tract. The pur-
chase price of the land ranged from SO
to 81. so an acre.
Captain Tough first established a
ranch between Kansas City and Leav-
enworth. Two years ago he bought
Bismarck Grove at Lawrence and
turned it into a horse ranch. Three
weeks ago he bought quarter section
of land Just across the Union Pacific
tracks from Bismarck Grove, paying
S1OO an acre cash for it. This he will
utilize in raising feed for his horses.
The posi- bilities for making money on
horses has caused him to close a deal
which will make him the owner of the
largest horse ranch in the world.
The thirty sections are along Smoky
Hill river in Trego county. 1t is well
supplied with water and is especially
adapted for the purpose for which it is
purchased 1t will all be put under
fence and divided into fields. The
most of it will be utilized for pastures
The rest will be sown with alfalfa
Large stables will be erected to pro-
tect the animals in the winter, and
race track will be built to train horses
both for the track and for city road.
sters.
If located further east land would
cost more and so would feed. The
saving in the cost of putting au animal
in condition for the market more than
offsets the shipping charges on the
animal to the local market. 1t is Cap
tain Tough's ambition to make his
ranch the model horse ranch of the
world.

Another Alliance Sch eme.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 17.-Geo
H. Phillips of Chicago addressed mem
bers of the National Farmers Alliance
here, on corn and corners.
"Let the government, he said, tax
the farmer cent bushel on his crop
of corn and with the money build
elevators in which to store hundred
million bushels of corn and pay forty
cents, Chicago basis, for it, and the
world will pay the same price. There
is not so much of it that we need
worry about an extra large crop or
two. With the government ready to
pay forty cents for it, the farmer can
borrow thirty cents from his country
banker if he needs the money, and
carry the surplus for seven years if
need be-"

Ocean Rates an Obstacle.

Washington, June II Consul Gen.
eral Gowdy, at Paris, in communica-
ton to the department of state,
expresses the opinion that American
coal can be advantageously placed in
competition with coal imported from
other countries in France, especially
in view of the recent imposition of the
English export tax on that product
If ocean transportation could be con-
siderably reduced, Consul General
Gowdy says, there is no doubt but that
American coal would have a great
future in France.

Topeka, June l7.-Attorney General
A. A. GODDARD in an opinion to II. c.
Bowman, county attorney of Harvey
county, held that coroners are not
authorized to hold inquests where the
cause Of death is known and there is
no suspicion of foul play. Coroners,
it is claimed, have been in the habit OF
piling up costs by holding .nquest'
over every man killed in their neigh
borhood whether the cause of the
death was plainly known to be ~
aeldent or not.

Guthrie, 0. T., June ia. Z. Cross,
of Kansas City, Kas., was in the city
and had with him map of the three
new counties and the changes of coun-
ty lines in the Kiowa and Comanche
and Apache reservations, as had been
practically agreed upon by the agents
of the land department Mr.. Cross
has been with the surveying corps since
February last, and his map shows the
big and little pastures, military, wood,
etc, reservations and proposed county
boundaries. The county seat of the
Kiowa country will probably be the
town of Kiowa, on the Rock Island
railroad. AS previously stated, the
county seat of the Wichita country
will probably be on the Washita river
about three miles south and three miles
west of Anadarko.
In the Comanche country the county
seat will probably be four miles south
and one mile west of Fort Sill.

GIVES EMPHATIC QU|E1US
To Talk Of a Third Term for Presi-
dent Mckinley.
CAN EOT-AM N0T-WlLL NOT.

Washington, June 13.-President Nc
Kinley has put an effectual quietus on
the third term talk which has gained
some currency in the newspapers
through interviews with certain we'll
known republicans favoring the re-
nomination of the president for the
third term.
The president after consultation
with his cabinet gave out this state
ment:
81 regret that the suggestion Of a
whether l am called upon to give it
notice. But there are now questions
of gravest Importance before the adj
ministration and the country and their
just consideration should not be pref
udiced in the public mind by even the
suspicion of the thought of third
term. In view, therefore, of the reit-
Grafton of the suggestion of it, l will
say now, once for all, expressing long
settled conviction that l not only am
not and will not be candidate for a
third term, but would not accept a
nomination for it, if it were rendered
me.
my only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the &C.
ceptance of my country, whose gener-
GUS confidence l so deeply appreciate
and then with them to do my duty in
the ranks Of private citizenship.
(SigneG "WM MCKINLEY"
The president already is being de-
luged with kilograms commendatory
of his announcement putting at rest
all third term rumors. These tele-
grams are from prominent persons
throughout the country. They place
emphasis on the opportuneness of the
statement and the benefcent effect on
the country from political stand
point. None of the kilograms were
made public.

INDEPENDENCE IN SIGHT.
Christmas Likely to See Cuba Governing
Itself.

Christmas Likely to Soc Cuba Governing
Itself.
Washington, June l7.-It isexpected
at the war department that Cuban in
dependence will be an accomplished
fact by next Christmas. The next STEP
in order now that the Plat amend
ment is adopted by the constitutional
convention is for that body to take ur
and pass an electoral bill which will
provide for the election of all the Off
GERS who are to set up an independent
government in Cuba. 1t is said here
that such bill is already framed and
is ready for submission to the conven"
ton at any moment. 1t is thought
that the convention can dispose of this
measure in week or two and that
will complete the labors of the body.
A period of ninety days it is said here
must be allowed for the publication OF
the electoral act before the necessary
elections can be had.
1t may be necessary and probably
will be to maintain some United States
troops in Cuba after the new officials
are inaugurated and until the Cubans
have had time to set up Cuban mill
tary force or gendarmerie but the
length of this stay probably will de-
pend on the wishes of the Cubans
themselves.

involving the title to the De Boissiere
estate in Franklin county over again.

AFTER CREEK INDIAN LANDS,
Indians Protected by Provision for APP
prevail Of Sale In Washington.

prevail OF Sale In Washington.
Washington, June li.-Captain
Schoenfeldt, in charge Of the Union
agency Of the five civilized tribes in
the Indian territory, says that large
number OF persons are coming in from
Western states to secure possession Of
the lands of the Creek Indians, which
are soon to be placed on the market
by the Creek tribe, who have recently
entered into treaty with the govern
ment, for the opening Of their lands,
and who are taking their lands in
severalty and disposing Of the surplus.
He says that the accommodations at
Muskogee are too small for the enor-
nous influx of strangers who want to
purchase lands from the Indians. The
majority of the strangers are from
Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. The
agent says the lands which the Indians
will be allowed to dispose of are of
first-class quality and worth on an
average SIS an acre. The Indians
have in several instances offered to
sell them at much below their value,
and there is general expectation that
a great deal of money is to be made
ont of these lands. He points out that
spectators are overlooking the very
serious fact that all sales of lands SO
negotiated must first be approved by
the secretary of the interior, and that
few, if any, contracts will be approved
that do not represent fair valuation
of the lands, according to market
standard
