Groom Corn

The broomcorn market seems to be
brlsking up. Prices have very mater
tally advanced and the demand be-
come much more active.
Considerable buying has been done
lately in the Illinois district at the ad
avnced prices, likewise in this local
ity. The dealers seem to have figured
out considerable shortage in the &C
reage and crop conditions are not any
ways flattering.
Large quantities of the trust corn
and independent stock have been der
stroyed by fire in the last sixty days
ahd the visible supply very materially
lessened by the fires and natural con-
sumption. 1t now begins to look like
the farmers who had the nerve to hold
on during all this long season of de.
pressed prices, will at last get a fair
price for their corn.

Exciting Runaway.

Last Saturday, as Eric Anderson
and his son drove into town from the
west with the weeks output of butter
and eggs, their team got scared at the
Santa Fe crossing and whirled around
so quickly they upset the wagon and
spilled everything and everybody out.
Eric was caught in some manner by
the double-trees, and as the horses
sped up the street full drive he was
dragged along. The horses were final
ly forced onto the sidewalk and stop
ped. Eric was bruised some, but not
seriously hurt. The son jumped and
got out of the way.
Butter and eggs were profusely
spread over the street, and the wagon
somewhat injured.

City Council.

The City Council met last Monday
night in regular session. Several i'm
portant matters came up for consider
alton. The occupation tax ordinance
was introduced, water extension dis
cussed and the propr'ety OF putting
in an electric light plant soon. was
talked over. Engineer Pratt submit
ted his report of the contemplated
sewer in the 4th ward.
A large number Of bills were allow
ed, The mayor and council are up
against stiff proposition. The reg
ular and necessary expenses of the
city are to be met and all extra ex-
penses of water extensions and gas
developments are piling up. And
but little money coming in. The oc-
cupation tax ordinance is the last re-
sort. 1t is very unpopular move and
will stir up more kicks and develop
more bad blood than any other method
of raising money that could be de
vised. However something must be
done, and the council hit upon the
occupation tax plan and probably it
is the best that could be devised for
the present.
1t will oe very difficult matter to
arrange such a tax that it may be
equitable to all. Some of the men,
bers of the council claim that now
they have to come down town to keep
from being mobbed by the city's cred
itors. We are of the opinion that
they will have to use the sewers for
safety after this occupation tax ordin-
ance is adopted. 1t is very desirable
that we have an electric light plant
in the city, either owned by the cor
poration or private parties, Just as
soon as it can be reached. We are
considerably behind the times in the
matter of lights.
AS to that sewer in the fourth ward
we are of the opinion that it should
not be built as contemplated. The
natural place for a city sewer is in the
bottom of the big ditch. We cannot
correct the grievous blunder made by
a former council in building small
sewer on the north side of the ditch
by constructing one on the south
side. The sooner we get right on
this sewer proposition the better off
we are. The city may order dozen
sewers built and they may be put in
but it does not alter the fact that
sooner OF later the main sewer of the
town must be in the bottom Of the
ditch and all the others will be worth
less. II sewer must be built for the
fourth ward put it 10 the bottom OF the
ditch where il belongs, where it will
drain both sides and not interfere
with private property.

Warming.

The gas and oil developmentS max
ing around Chanute aud the great
strikes that are being made in this i'm
mediate vicinity are giving a new and
increased value to mineral leases here
abouts. We would not discourage the
farmers from leasing their land on
favorable terms to men who will de-
velop it in a reasonable time. We
thiEk they should do it and would
reap rich reward therefrom. But
these speculators and schemers who
often scour the country and secure
leases at the most favorable terms pos
sible, merely for speculation, are to be
Stunned. There are leases in the
town now being hawked around for
sale that were doubtless given by the
farmer with the idea that prospecting
would speedily begin on the land in
question.
You should not sign lease without
giving it very careful thought and
consideration. See that your rights
are protected as we'll as the rights Of
the other party, Remember when
you sign lease you are virtually sign
ing mortgage on your farm and
should give it just as careful consider
alton and be sure you are getting
value received. The lease will 60 on
record and be cloud on the title
should you wish to sell The way many
of the leases are drawn, you connot
transfer any of your rights under
the lease. Nogas or oil man will buy
your farm if you have signed away
your mineral rights, for that is all he
wants. Many farmers, even, won't
buy farm encountered by lease.
A safe rule in this lease business is
to lease to no one but an actual de-
veloper and then have stipulations re-
quiring development to begin at
stipulated time and provide for for
felt If work is not continually push
ed. There should be provision pro-
hibiting the piping of gas away from
the immediate vicinity. 1t would be
a good plan to sign no lease without
consulting an attorney. A few dol
lars paid to good careful attorney in
the start may be big saving in the
end. Leases in this region, in favored
localities, are growing in value and
are soon going to command good big
cash bonus. Be careful how you lease.
Be sure that you receive development
within reasonable time. Don't get
excited for fear you will not be able to
lease. 1t will do you no good to lease
unless you can get drilling done.
When some man comes around want
ins to prospect he will give show to
the farmer for the privileges he re-
aaivoc

The Bond Proposition.

On May 11th, next Thursday, the
voters of this school district will have
the privilege of voting again on a
bond proposition. AS is pretty well
known, the proposition is for voting
$4,000 in bonds to buy site in the
first ward and build modern four
room school building thereon;to build
four room addition to the building
in the second ward to build a two
room addition to the third ward, and
buy site and build a four room build
ing ia the fourth ward. There
seems to be no particular opposition
to the proposition but there is some.
The only argument urged is that we
do not need so many rooms. 1t is true
that we will not need all the rooms
provided for, this fall, but we will in
the near future. At present rate Of
increase it will not be long, The new
buildings will give US ample room in
each quarter of the city and the clam
NOR for more school-rooms will be
silenced. Don't forget the date, July
11th, All come out and vote. This
will be the only chance to get suitable
rooms for the children this year.
Let's not let the proposition fail by
neglect. Let US give it big vote and
show the board we are with them in
their effort for better schools.

YELLOW POISON IN THEIR BEAKs.
Eight Mosquitoes, Fever Laden, Are
Held at Havana.

In connection with the expert ments
which DR.. Caldas, the Brazilian med
zeal expert, is about to conduct in Ha-
vana to illustrate the efficacy of a
serum designed TO prevent the con-
traction of yellow fever, the yellow fe-
yer commission will supply the mos
quitoes. The commissioners have eight
insects which have bitten a person
suffering with bad case of yellow
fever. Two of the mosquitoes subse-
quently bit two persons who have since
developed we'll marked cases.
The eight mosquitoes will be divid-
ed into two divisions. Two persons
whom DR.. Caldas will inoculate with
his serum will be bitten by two mos
quitoes each. The other four mosq Al
toes will bite two non-immunes, two
each.
AS all eight mosquitoes were infect
ed from the same person, and as two of
them have already given yellow fever
to TWO persons, it is inferred that the
arrangement will afford good test of
the preventive value of the serum, al
though other experiments will proba-
bly, be conducted.
