Grand Army Social.

In order to do honor to Mrs. Jennie
Walker, the newly installed depart
ment president of the Woman's Relief
Corps, the local organizations Of the
Woman's Relief Corps, Grand Army
and Sons of Veterans arranged to hold
a social in Memorial hall on Saturday,
June 90 Invitations were sent out to
the neighboring posts and corps to
meet with them. At two o'clock the
hall began filling up and soon it was
crowded beyond the seating capacity.
The program began by the singing of
america" by the audience. Com
mander Filler, in his best form, an
nounced the object of the assembly in
a short address. Talks were made by
Mrs. Bray, Comrade Butt, Mrs. Hart
stine, Mrs. Fleming and others. Mrs.
Walker was then called on and gave
sketch of the history of the order she
leads in Kansas. Rev. J. Ed Stevens
delivered the principal address in his
usual happy style. DR.. FarrOw, repre-
senting the confederate army, was in
vIted to come as the guest OF all. HIS
speech was one that will long dwell in
the memory of the old boys, as it was
replete with sentiment that struck
them where they live; it was a eulogy
to "old glory" After he had finished
his speech and sat down, he was in
formed that agreeable to a plan agreed
upon by the members of the post, it
was then necessary that he be present
ed with an old army musket, such as
he had faced in the dark days of 81 60.
DR.. Farrow accepted it in the same
spirit in which it was offered, and dedi-
Gated it to the service of the flag.
Light refreshments followed.
Ksnorado was we'll represented and I
am sorry I cannot give the names of
our visitors. Some of them assisted
US with good talks. G.

%. Jones, Lecture.

Prof. Jones, conductor Of the nor
NAL institute, delivered a lecture at
the Christian church last Thursday
night. His subject was "The Victory
Of Defeat" The speaker began with
an illustration from the life Of Jesus.
Of the success of apparent failure. He
explained his conception of the terms
success, failure, victory and defeat.
Success and victory may be seeming
not real; they are so when, ultimately,
good is not reached through them. On
the other hand, failure and defeat may
seem to be the outcome of an under
taking, when in fact victory and sue
cess are the result. 1t is so when the
outcome, however discouraging it may
look for the time, brings about more
good than any other possible outcome.
The facts of history, sacred and pro
fame, furnish abundant evidence of
this principle.
The lecture was carefully written
and clearly read. The style was good
and well suited to the subject. There
was considerable humor in the lecture
skillfully interviewer with the more
serious discourse.

BILL REEDER IS CONFIDENT.
Says Cheap skates in sixth District Can't
Beat Him-Says He Redeemed the
District from POpuIist Rule.

"COlOnel" Bill Reeder, who was cleo
ted to represent the Sixth Kansas dis
trict in congress, was in Topeka several
days last week whispering with the
powers about his chances for renomi-
nation, says q special to the Kansas
City Times from Topeka. There are IL
other republican candidates for the
position, but Reeder says most of them
are "cheap skates and will give him
no trouble whatever.
81 will be renOminated after a short
scrap" Mr.. Reeder said. ED Yelling
ton has notion that he is built of
congressional timber, and it likely viii
take two or three ballots to show him
his error. Several cheap skates who
imagine they are in this fight viii drop
out when they hear the result Of the
first ballot. Twas I who redeemed the
district from populist rule, and the
job in congress is mine by right of
conquest. Will I give it up just as I
am getting onto it in good shape. Not
on your shirt waist. I'm going to show
Henry Allen and some other political
buds in this state that Bill Reeder is
not so slow"
Reeder has never forgiven Allen for
circulating a story about him when he
first went to Washington. Reeder be-
ing a stranger, Joe BristOw started
with him on a trip through the de-
partments. Upon being introduced to
Charles Emery Smith, Bristow's boss,
Mr.. Reeder said: "GIad to make your
acquaintance, Mr.. Smith. Let's see,
what position do you hold here?H
Reeder fired similar questions to
Russell A. Alger and other cabinet Of
fcers, and Bristow, growing weary, fin
ally declared the trip off. Bristow told
Allen about it, and Allen told the re-
porters. Reeder hopes to have Aliens
scalp dangling at his belt some day.

A SHORT SESSION.
The District Court Clears Up the Docket
in Less Than Two Days-Hardman
Case Continued.

The July term Of the district court
convened in the courtroom Monday at
one o'clock, Judge Smith not arriving
until nearly noon. Only 10 cases we're
OF the docket and they were quickly
disposed Of, court adjourning Tuesday
evening.
The Hardman grand larceny case was
continued to the November term, at
torneys on both sides agreeing to the
continuance. Hardman's bond was
fixed at $500, J. NJ. Hardman, the pris-
Oner's father, J. P. Cullen and Ida N.
Harwi signing as sureties. The bond
was approved by Judge Smith.
The replevin case of Swan Nelson Us.
Mike Proneski was given a jury trial.
PrOneski held Nelson's cattle for dam
age to his crops, and Nelson replevineo
them. Proneski was made a tenure OF
Sl5 for damages incurred but refused
to accept. Nearly all day Tuesday was
occupied in trying the case, the jury
returning a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff. As a result Proneski will
receive no damages and has the costs
assessed against him also. Nelson gave
bond for costs, and should they not be
collected from Proneski, Nelson will be
forced to pay them.

Riley Sawyer and wife, Doc Sawyer
and Emma Whitman, from near Jaqua,
in Colorado, were arrested by a deputy
United States marshal last Thursday,
charged with false swearing in a land
contest case and arraigned before G.
Z. Hendrie, commissioner of the United
States district court at Wray, Col, on
Friday. The evidence against them
was sufficient to satisfy Mr.. Hendrie
that there was probable cause OF action
and they we're all bound over to appear
for trial in the United States district
court at Denver.-St. Francis Eagle.
The Sawyer brothers are the ones
who slugged Eric Owen, of Goodland
at st. Francis last August, breaking
his jaw and badly beating him, be-
cause he had contested their claim, the
same case in which they are now ar
rested for perjury. They are said to
be responsible for burning Owens
barn and tearing down his house while
he was absent.

Another Telephone Man Here.

George W. Willis, of Lawrence, Kan.
representing the Independent Tele-
phone and Construction company, OF
Kansas City, was in GoOdland this
week looking over the field with a view
Of putting in a telephone system here
Mr.. Willis offers two per cent of gross
receipts and a free phone to the city
for a franchise, and will put in a sys-
tenn if he can secure 80 subscribers.
The company will furnish phones for
business houses at SI5O per month and
residence phones for 81, using the cen
trail system. Mr.. Willis offers by far
the best proposition that has as yet
been submitted and should certainly
be given every encouragement to put
in a telephone exchange, which has
long been needed in Goodland.

GODDARD ON NEW LIQUOR LAW.
Attorney General says Men VIII Swear
Falsely to Convict Enemies and Periure
themselves to Protect Friends.

a. A. GODDARD, attorney general OF
Kansas, is not in sympathy with the
law passed at the last session of the
Kansas legislature giving county at
torneys the right to subpoena witnesses
in liquor cases and compel them to
testify. Mr.. GODDARD has admitted it
for the first time. In connection with
the admission he remarked that he had
never discussed the matter before for
ssyarious reasons" The various rea-
sons are contained in the fact that Mr..
GODDARD is a good republican and pro-
hibitionist, and it was a republican
legislature which passed the law pre-
sumabIy in the interests Of prohibition.
ats a question if the law doesn't re-
suit in perjury" said Mr.. GODDARD, 'and
1 look on perjury as greater crime than
violation Of the prohibitory law. If a
county attorney subpoenas a man who
is friend Of a liquor dealer and com
peIs him to give testimony there is
danger of that man perjurying himself
to save his friend. And on the other
hand the law creates the opportunity
for enemies of persons accused of sell
ing liquor securing their conviction by
perjury. Altogether I don't believe
it very good measure"
"Do you feel that the prohibitory
law is being satisfactorily enforced in
Kansas" Mr.. GODDARD was asked.
''Yes,' he replied, Except in locali-
ties where local sentiment is against.
The law gives me power to appoint
assistant county attorneys to look after
the enforcement of the liquor law, but
so far I have appointed but one. He
is Judge Redden, of Topeka. 1 don't
believe other appointments are neces-
sary, because the people of other coun-
ties have not asked for them"

men who are opposed to the saloon COM
tinue to vote with any tax or license
party, That fact no man in his proper
senses can deny. Dear brother will
you not stop voting for and with the
rum power? Your home, your duty TO
the church, the state, and the nation de-
mand that you oppose all tax and IL
cense parties. The whole liquor pow
er is concentrated in these parties. and
It is time for good men and patriotic
citizens to get out.
It is quite out of the question to
think that anti-saloon men and saloon
men can vote the same ticket apd both
be protected; and as saloon men will
not vote for any party unless said party
is in favor of tax and license for their
their traffic, 1t is high time that every
man opposed to the liquor traffic step
down and out of all tax and license
parties. Will you do It?

What II Intends to Do In tho
Matter OF Reaching

The Pittsburg Post says: 1T was
rumored yesterday that the Pennsylva-
MIA would permit Wheeling and Lake
Erie Wabash train to be run into
Pittsburg over the Panhandle or the
c. & P. The c. & p. is 25 miles longer
than the Panhandle between Pittsburg
and Mingo, but has river levels all
the way and one class H-4 engine on
the G. & P. will .iaul amost twice as
many cars as a similar engine can
haul over the heavy Panhandle
grades" We Opine all this talk about
the Wabash using the Pennsylvania
tracks is in the ghost story" line, for
there is every evidence that the Wab-
ash is going to build its own road to
the Ohio river and then cross the coun-
try to connect with the main line Of the
Wheeling and, Lake Erie. The sur.
vey,is six miles shorter to Mingo than
the Panhandle, and thirty-two miles
shorter than the river road, and the
road will pay big from the beginning.

Finds Franchise Getting
a Good Thing.
LINE TO CLEVELAND
He Wants to Go Up the Tow
Path From Akron and Has
Applied to Columbus
For the Right.

After T. L. Childs succeeded in get
ting things well started-for the line be-
tween Canton and Akron that is now
known as the Canton-Akron Railroad
company, he sold his interests to John
c. Welty. They later sold to the east
ern syndicate that is financing the
road. Childs finds that the securing
Of franchises is a good thing, requir-
ing no expenditure and being salable
for considerable sum-, Having sold
his Canton line for neat figure, he
is now going after one from Akron to
Cleveland and has been insisting that
the commissioners VI Cuyahoga county
give him franchise. They have thus
far turned a deaf ear, but he does not
propose to allow the matter to rest
there and, has another scheme. The
Akron Beacon journal says III
7. L. Childs is evidently determined
| to have an electric line from Akron
to Cleveland.
The Cuyahoga county commissioners
have already decided to grant Mr.
Childs's rivals, Green, Gindelsperger
ct al, franchise for such a line. but
Mr.. Childs still has one more card to
play. He has appealed to the state
canal commission for the lease of the
BERNIE bank and tow path Of the Ohio
canal from Portsmouth to Cleveland
He intends to build a railway for the
transportation of passengers from Ak
ron to Cleveland, with the intention
of ultimately extending 1t still further
south.
A. dispatch from Columbus says:
BIG APPLICATION.
The state canal commission received
the biggest application for the lease
Of canal property for electric rail.
way right of way ever received, this
morning. Thomas l.. Childs makes Il
through L. d. Seward. The cana
commission does not know Childs. HI
wants the whole of the outer strip o
the tow path and all the BERNIE banl
of the Ohio canal not already leased
from Portsmouth to Cleveland. The
lease is to run for Is years.
L. ID. Seward was seen by a Beacon
Journal reporter Saturday in regart
to the matter. He stated that tn.
same parties who We're back of Mr.
Childs in the other deal are backin:
him, with the addition Of others. -
He said that passenger line will
be built II the lease is granted, ant
that 1t will be able to compete will
lines already built. n.
