"Lightning Rod" Swindlers
Abroad in Phillips County.
Have a New Guise to Work the
Old, Old Trick.
Give a Very Low Insurance
Rate ON Their Buildings
But, of Course, Must Be Pro-
tected by Lightning Rods.

Phillipsburg, Kas.. Dec. 30.-It was
learned today that lightning rod awind-
lers have been at work in this county
with success J.. Courson, of Dayton,
and John Lahore and John Catch. of
Prairie View township, are numbered
among the victims These gentlemen
claim that a man representing himself
to be an insurance agent, called at their
places and solicited a risk on their
property at a ate which seemed very
low. but said the company which he
represented would not carry a risk I'M
less the building was protected by their
lightning rods.
This man, through the false and
fraudulent representations which he
then made, induced them to each sign
a note for his insurance and lightning
rods These gentlemen have since
learned that this man did not represent
any insurance at all, but was
simply a travelling representative of a
lightning rod p The next a
after this man left two others came
and put up the lightning rods. They
were asked when the policies of insur-
ance would reach them, and were in
formed that it would be only two or
three days
As nearly as can be learned the names
which they signed after putting up the
rods is Peyburn & Heath, and they rep
resented that one of them lived at
Phillipsburg and the other at Norton,
which was also false.

PROSPER.
Increased Product For 1901 in Spite
of the Dry Weather.

Abilene. Kas., Dec. 30.-The dry
weather of Sunme and shortage OF
feed during the fall and early winter
has not affected the creamery industry
of central Kansas. h product shoWlnS
10 per cent. increase over 1900 The
prices paid monthly for butter fat have
been about the same as a year ago.
For November milk the local creameries
paid % and 2475 cents, with or without
free skim milk; this is within one-half
cent of last years figures.
Secretary E. H. Forney, of the Belle
Springs said: 1.-THE fall wealth
er has been exceptionally favorable for
patrons. Had there been Sc
we're weather the milk supply would
have been much less than a year ago,
but in fact it has surprised us. The
winter product as a whole is likely to
be less than last year when storms come
because of feed shortage. Nearly all
the farmers are feeding wheat and
nearly all have some alfalfa Mich
wheat and that keeps up the milk sup
ply"
The cheese factories have a more diff
fcu1t time than the skimming stations,
as there is less skim milk to give back
to the farmers. At the present prices
skim milk is the cheapest feed on the
market. In the same territory now the
skinlming station will get so per cent
more milk than a cheese factory as the
armer must look to raising the calves.
The outlook for 1902 is exceptionally
good and central Kansas creameries
are preparing to increase their facilities.
This county has received $3.50, 600 for
milk this year.

NOW OR NEVER.
Senator MOrroW's Idea About
New Tax Bill.
Wants It Fixed Up by the Com
mission.
DO NOT AMEND 1T.
He Thinks Legislature Should
Accept the Report.
Time Is Ripe For Changes in
Tax Laws.

There is only one way to treat the
proposed tax bill: We should all regis
ter our kick before the last meeting OF
the commission in July, but after the
bill has been finally II
should either be passed as it comes
from the commission, or it should De
rejected"
This is the opinion of Senator Morrow
of Washington county, who was in To-
peka Saturday. Senator Morrow mas
beer for several sessions one of the
leaders in the senat on h Republican
side.
Everybody who has had any expert
ence in legislation" continued Senator
Morrow, knows that that bill will be
better when it comes from the commits
sion than it will be If every membe
of the legislature and all outside intm-
ences are allowed to get a whack at II
80 far as I am concerned IKE the
general idea of the bill, although there
are a few minor details which L th1nS
could be improved But 1 think the
time is ripe for a radical change In our
assessment and taxation laws. Ihe syS-
tenn we have now is of no accoun Tne
people know it and they will welcome a
change. The state is ready to try an
entirely new system For tnat reason
I approve Of the general plan Ok 'ne
bill. - ,ou,a
ton on a subject of such varied inter-
ests as taxation is by a commission.
There will probably be things in that
bill TO which certain localities will OBJ
ject. One county will object to one fea-
ture and another county VIII ObJect 10
another feature and the corporations
will object to others. Consequently Ii
the bars are thrown down every man
will want to change some feature, ana
when they all get through the Dill VIII
be entirely changed and it will be full
of holes.
TT would like to see every man regis
ter his kick and make his suggestions,
but they should be made to the COM
mission at or before its July meeting
when it will meet to pass on all these
things. After the commission mas con-
sidered all of them and fixed the Dill
up as it thinks will be best after near
ing all of the suggestions, it should pc
let alone. When the legislature meets we
should decide beforehand whether or
not we want the bill and there should
be but one vote on it, 1 don't care
whether or not it is made a party meas
ure. or whether the entire legislature Is
called in to caucus on it, what I believe
is that there should be no attempt to
amend it or fix it up after it Is present
ed to the legislature by the commits

tax bill, because there is no call Tor H.

WILL FIGHT IT OUT.
Scientific Men In Kansas to De-
eide About Gold in ShaIe.

There are 1ikeI to be some interest
ing remarks made at the annual meet
ing Of the Kansas Academy of Science,
at lola next Monday on the subject OF
whether or not there is gold in Kansas
sha1e.
Scientific men from all parts of the
state will get together at lola and fight
it out Prof. Haworth of the state uni
versity, the arch-enemy of Kansas
ShaIe, is expected to be present Prof
HawOrth has repeatedly declared that
there is no gold in the Shale, and that
if it can be proved that there is gold
in the shale, he will resign his position
at the Kansas university as "A penalty
for his mistake. All the other state
university professors are said to side
in with Haworth, and several of them
will be at lola to take part in the dis
cussion of the question
The discussion of the shale question
will be by a paper on the
subject of j. T. Lovewel of this city,
who has been identified with the work
on the Kansas shales yer since it was
first suspected that gold existed out
there Prof. Lovewell has probably
tested more processes for extracting the
gold from the shale and made more as
IA than any one man in the state He
Is a firm believer in the theory that
there is gold in the shale, and holds that
it only remains to find a process with
which to get it out in commercial guam
titles.
The gold side of the question will be
reinforced by the report of Prof Ernest
Fahrig, the chemist for the Philadelphia
Commercial Museum, who has reeently
been trying a new process for extract
ing gold, which he claims is a success
Dr.. Fahrig is a chemist and assayer OF
repute in the east, and is a protege of
John Wanamaker and other wealthy
Philadelphians who are interested in
mining ventures. DR.. Fahrig has made
an extensive report on his work, which
will be given ont first at the meeting
IN lola
Whether or not Chas. Gage, or some
of his friends will attend the meeting
of the scientists and present his side
of the case, is not known The Gage
process has been called in question re-
Gently, but MIR. Cages ackers continue
10 build their mill on the Smoky Hill
in Ellis county. and expect to use the
Gage process for extracting gold.

rEBEAU STILL TALKING,
Now Wants to Sell His Kansas City
Franchise.

Kansas City, NO., Dec. 30-George Te-
beau, owner of the Kansas City Amer1-
can association franchise. and one OF
the prime movers in that Or~gSGezatlon
may sell out all his interests in the To-
cal club He announced that he is dick
ering with a prominent Kansas City
business man,and may succeed in MAX
ing the sale before the opening of the
season. Tebeau also says that the pro-
position to sell is by no means the re
suit Of the prospects of a fight with the
Western. League, but has been on tap
since the middle of the summer.
I'VE have not been able to agree on
the price," said Tebeau, N everything
may fall through, but if the party &C
cepts my price the sale will be made,
and I will no longer have an interest in
the local club, but this does not mean
that 1 will quit baseball. What / have
in view ! do not wish to make pub
lic."
In case of the sale, Dale Gear will be-
come sole manager, and ma purchase
more stock in the club. Tebeau-is ask
ing more for the franchise now than he
did two months ago, which shows that
he is not being scared out The West
ern League people are calling him a
GUTTER, and in an interview, President
Whitfield said that Tebeau was talk
ing to hear himself talk or is trying to
lead off a gold brick on Gear. He says
that Tebeau's wild talk about claiming
the Western League franchise here and
tying up the whole league by injunction
is not worth listening to. Tebeau spent
today in ST. Joseph in conference with
President Hickey.

BRING DAMAGE SUITS.
Expelled Turfmen's Action - Think
They Were Wronged.

Cleveland, Dec. 30.-The American
Trotting association was made defend
ant in three different suits filed in the
common pleas court, all being as the
result of the suspension of the pacing
horse Octagon in 1899 FROM the tracks
of the association.
H M. Baldwin then owned the horse,
and in a suit for equitable relief he
asks that the officers of the association
be directed to remove the suspension
from the books of the company.
Baldwin in another suit reviews the
history of the case and asks that a re-
ceiver be appointed for the trotting as
ISOLATION
The third suit against the trotting
association is brought by James r.
Sprankle and Walter c. Ong. the latter
ex-common pleas judge of this county,
who claim to have purchased OctagOn
of Baldwin, and were then ruled off the
tracks controlled by the American Trot-
ting association. This suit is for dam
ages.

NEW SOL SMITH RUSSELL
His Old Play in Other Hands Seen In
Topeka.

To. anyone who has never seen Sol
Smith Russell as Noah Vale" in "A
Poor Relation" the portrayal of that
character by Frederick Summerheld, at
the Crawford Saturday. was perfectly
accaptabIe. To those who have seen the
orfginal. the Interpretation of the poor
inventor by the unknown actor was
commended as being an excellent piece
of work by a comparative novice
To say that Summer1eld'S moan
Vale" was good is awarding him a just
ly deserved approval 1t is hardly just
to compare an actor to such
a comedian as Mr., Russell n sun
such a comparison is unavoidable "A
Poor Relation was written especially
for Mr. Russell. as were all of his sue
cesses. The handiwork of the play
wright was supplemented by a
thorough knowledge and understanding
of Mr.. RussellS p~eculiarities, some
tim e. cheaply termed eccentriclt1es on
some haring play bills used to introduce
an n With that complete
knowledge the author. E. E. Kidder,
was enabled to fit the pathetic comedy
to the Russell requirements. For that
reason the author made "A POOR he
lation" his masterpiece and Mr. Russell
made it his greatest triumph 1t was
not written for Summer1eld. he was
never thought of when. the lines and in
cidents were conceived Richard Mans
field nor Henry Irving could play
Noah Vale" as did Mr. Russell Then
certainly Summerfield could not be ex-
DecteQ to- And ne Q10nJ-
Summerfeld's Noah Vale lacks the
subtleness of Russell. There was that
unexplainable something about him
that made him the wonderful comedian
that he was. There is but one other on
the stage who possesses adegree ofthat
some thing and who could almost coun-
terpart the Russell Interpretation of the
poor inventor That is Tim Murphy
Leaving out all comparisons Sum-
merfeld's acting was good His great
est handicap is his voice. He hardly
possesses the soft but distinct ~enuncia-
ton necessary to the almost continuous
pathetic lines. He dresses he part
reads the lines and follows the bust

needs to do to achieve fame is to ex-
act1y initiate Russell. But he can't. No
one can-

good. Marget Mckinley and Little
