How many cigars bearing $500 tax a
thousand will the United States collect
taxes on during the month OF Decem-
Der, 1902? Every smoker should be in
terested when his answer may bring
him an award of several thousands of
dollars.
The American Cigar company wants
all the smokers of it's various brands
to answer, and it wants all other smok-
ers who are willing to try these various
brands to answer. So that all compett-
tors will be patrons of the various
brands, the one condition Of the contest
is that competitors must accompany
their answers by 100 bands from these
various brands. These bands entitle the
sender to four estimates and as many
100 band packages can be sent in as de-
sired.
Interest in this unique contest has al
ready spread over the entire country
and is increasing daily 1t will go
along merrfly until the close. In the
meantime more of the various brands
of cigars will be sold, the people will he
benefited. and SO will The American

SIXTH DISTRICT NOTES.

Jonas Good lives in Norton. And he
is against the Republicans, and for
years has bet his money politically on
the losing side. He is an interesting
character. Jonas says that when poll
tics become SO disgusting that he can't
vote it must be bad, and he refuses TO
vote this fall because all parties have
become SO corrupt. He says he will re-
fuse to vote for Bryan if he should
again be nominated for president.
The Morland Graham county, indie
pendent, speaking of the Republican
state ticket. declares that with two
bachelors and L. L. Kelly on the ticket
is enough to beat it.
Postmaster Frank Lockard, of Nor
ton, has about quit politics. He lost
out on his 100 acres of corn this year,
but has great faith in a wheat crop for
next year, and he is preparing the soil
to sow not less than 100 acres to wheat.
There will be a lively scrap in Deca-
tur county if Columbus BORN gets the
legislative nomination. He is a scrap
per himself, and he won't lie down un-
til all the votes are counted. And If
beaten. he is like Cy Leland, gets UP
and goes after them again.
Fred Duvall, of the Norton Courier,
ought to be able to pull good sized
political chestnut out of the fire. AS
early as last January he hoisted at the
head of the editorial page of his paper
the names of w. J. Bailey for governor
and J. r. Burrow for secretary of state.
= G. M. Sawyer, of Norton, chairman of
the Sixth district Democratic congress
sional committee. is in receipt of let
tiers from prominent fusionists all over
the district and not one of them, he
says, claim there Is any disaffection i'll
the ranks of the Populist or Democrats
on the candidacy of c. NJ. Cole, for con-
greSs.
The Socialists have selected Beloit for
the Sixth district headquarters. The
reason of this is that j. T. Barnes, OF
that place, is the Socialist nominee for
secretary of state. Besides, c. B Low
rey lives there, and he is the congress
sional committeeman from Mitchell
county. Another reason is that Slater
White, county commissioner, lives there
and his name has been mentioned for
the Socialist nominee for congress. Tom
McGill, editor of the Morland Graham
county, Independent, has been almost
persuaded to enter the race.
1t looks if there might be lively race
for the Republican legislative nomina-
ton in Lincoln county. September 20. 1t

HARDLY PAYS EXPENSES.
Philippine Tariff Legislation Has
Proven q Failure.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Suprising results
have followed the compilation of tariff re-
turns on goods imported from the Philip
pine islands during the first five months
of the operation of the Philippine tariff
act, approved March last. Under that
act rs per cent of the Dingley rates were
to be collected on Philippine imports into
the United States and this was to be held
as a trust fund in the treasury of the
United States. Although when the. act
was passed it was realized that the i'm
position of any duties of this kind would
be restrictive of trade it was argued that
as the returns would be somewhere in the
neighborhood of 100000 per annum that
consideration would outweigh the draw
backs of maintaining tariff system
against the Philippines The returns just
published in the treasury show that the
total receipts for the first five months of
March, April, May, June and July were
but $11194, sum SO small in the opinion
of the officials scarcely to meet the
cost of collection. More recently returns
by months do not show any increase, but
a decrease. These facts will be brought
to the attention of congress at it's next
session.

which is liable to upset the calcula lions
of some.
A Sixth district postmaster, who holds
down good job in county seat town
through the grace OF Congressman
Reeder, is of the opinion that neither
Long nor Calderhead is in the IT, S.
senatorial race, but that the fight will
be between Curtis and Stanley.
Several counties in the Sixth district
now claimed beyond a doubt for one or
the other Republican candidate for the
United States senate, are more liable to
be for the present incumbent, w. A.
Harris. Especially is this the case with
Ellis, Sherman. Thomas. Sheridan, Raw
Inns, Decatur, Trego, Smith. and other
counties, which now have Populists or
Democrats in the legislature.
There are rumors af1oat in Thomas
county to the effect that if the Popu-
lists nominate one OF their fellows for
the legislature, Railroad Commissioner
Fike will see that a straight party
Democrat will also run.
Republican annexes have been nomi-
mated already in Mitchell and Phillips
counties. called Socialist tickets. 1t is
claimed several other close counties will
put up Socialist tickets, perhaps Ora

McGill of Graham county, wasn't such
an Independent Socialist he could easily
carry off the honor as their COMPRESSION
al nominee.
The Sixth district is full of prairie
chickens this fall, therefore most all po-
litical speakers who enter the confines
of this district bring along gun or
two, and enjoy the rare sport of shoot
ing at them, even if some of the shoot
erS are poor markSmen.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Supt. J0ughins Denies Report
of Boilermakers' Trouble.
Says There's just Enough Foun-
datiOn to Be Plausible.
ARE INVESTIGATING.
Officials Look Into the Fist
Fight Which Occurred.
J0ughins Says the Blacklist
Has Ceased to Exist.

G. r. JOughins, mechanical superin-
tendent of the Santa Fe coast lines. de-
MES that there is any danger of a strike
among the Santa Fe boilermakers at San
Bernardino. Mr.. Joughins was at AL
buauerque a few days ago. and in an
interview there said:
There is absolutely no friction be-
tween the company and the men in the
San Bernardino boiler shops. There is
just enough foundation to this latest re-
port of trouble with our boilernakers
to make it plausible.
Several days ago a number of the
shop men at San Bernardino engaged in
rough and tumble fight. One of them
happened 70 be a boilermaker. He was
discharged with the others. But he
claims that he was not the aggreSsor
in the fight and that his dismissal was
unjust. An investigation was COM
menced and is still under way. There
is absolutely no misunderst anding be-
tween the bOilermakerS and the COM
pany- They are simply exercising their
right in asking an investigation, the
right that the company desires them to
use. There is no feeling in the matter
but the kindest. There is no such thing
as a black list. At the end of the last
strike we took back everyone of the
strikers and several men who had made
trouble months before. When a man
is not a good workman, the company
does not want him. That is as far as
the matter goes. There is and has been
no UlSci1IuiId llO1 <AIiu tLeIC pIOUdOly
never was a more husinesslike and or
oerly strike than the one closed salts
factorily a few weeks ago in the west.
The men who were out were at all
times orderly and reasonable and con-.
Quoted themselves as gentlemen. 1t
was, as near as could be, a pleasant
strike. So there is now the best of feel
ing between employers and employed
I am sure that these rumors of a repeti-
ton of the strike are, if anything, more
distasteful to the men than they are to
the company"

UNION CARDS NO GOOD.
Not Accepted as Passes on the Union
Pacific.

The Kansas City Journal says that
trainmen on the middle division of the
Union Pacific are unable to secure any
rest at all these days on account of
scarcity of railroad men along that divf-
sion. The reason given for the scarcity
is that the superintendent at Ellis will
not permit the trainmen to carry rail-
road men over the road unless they pay
their fares. Since the railway men in
other parts of the country learned of
this state of affairs they give the Union
Pacific a wide berth and travel cas-:
and west through Kansas on the Rock
Island, Santa Fe or Missouri Pacific.
In the past union cards have carried
trainmen on all the roads in Kansas.
The Union Pacific is the first road to
prohibit it.

A NEW SENSATION.
A Marvellous Proposition Made to CT
gar Smokers.

R6I 0mOkSx8s
Almost every day Uncle Sam gives
the world some new sensation through
the agency of the patent Office at WASH
ington. But these startling discoveries
in the field of invention are designed
to bring dollars into the pockets of peo-
pie who fashion them. Never has mortar
man deliberately sought to give dollar
away except in some moment or kld0-
ness. Then the gifts have been to but a
few persons. This Is called puiian-
thropy.
1t is therefore new sensation OF sur
passing generosity that marks the lates'
act of The American Cigar company
This concern whose business name is
known seas over, announces in the most
matter of fact way that it Will give ITS
patrons $142 500 during January OF i:a%t
year 1t treats the incident as though II
were commonplace and not the most
marvellous undertaking ever assumed
in the business world.
The American Cigar company is an
enterpriSing company. Enterprise OILS
the wheels of commerce, therefore this
gift The American Cigar company
manufactures various brands of cigars.
such as the Creme, Cubanola, F1oro-
dora, etc. A few months since 1T sought
to convince the public that these brands
were the best quality of cigars that
could be manufactured for the money
The excellence of the goods was stated
in every possible way.
Finally the people bought the cigars.
then they believed everything The
American Cigar company had adver-
tised- 1t was a sort of reform In the
cigar business. For many years the
public had been caioled into buying
cigars that were said to be good when
they were not: they had been paying
ten cents for smokes that were not
worth half that amount: they wanted
a change. The American Cigar com
pany gave it to them. The sale of
these various brands of cigars since the
transition has been most satisfactory.
But the number of smokers in the Unit
ed States is great perhaps it numbers
nearly 5000, 900 out of the entire popu-
lation. The American Cigar company
wants more smokers to learn of the
merits of these various brands. There
fore the distribution of the money.
But this vast sum is not to be hand
ed out promiscuously. 1t is to be award
ed to 1913 persons, and after success
full competition for it, in which contest
all will have an equal chance.
The American Cigar company asks
the smokers of the country a question.

SAW A LION.
Horrible Discovery Of a Janitor in
Santa Fe Storeroom.

For a long time a stuffed mountain
lion, with wide open jaws and glazing
eyes, was a landmark, as it WERE in the
Santa Fe city offices, says the Denver
Times. Some weeks ago it was re-
moved to the cellar and papers were
placed over it to protect it as much as
possible. Papers were thrown careless
ly over it until finally it was buried in
a waste of papers. The other day J. z.
Hail. general agent of the passenger
department, told the negro janitor to
clean out the cellar.
The porter went about his work with
alacrity. He had removed large col
lection of papers when suddenly, start
ing up before him in the dim light, he
saw an animal with gaping jaws and
glazing eyes With a yell the negro
bounded for the door, tore it open and
raced up the steps, his teeth chatter
ing.
There's a wild animal downstairs.
Mr.. Hall.' he gasped.
Mr.. Hall and several others went
down to investigate. 1t required con-
siderable eloquence to convince the jan
itor that the animal was stuffed.

Rumors of Santa Fe Extensions.

The Denver Times says that it is re-
ported that the Santa Fe will build from
Ell Paso to Pecos. Tex, and from Pecos
to San Angelo for short line between the
Pacific coast and Galveston, which would
put it in strong position to fight the
Southern Pacific for Galveston business.
The proposed line would also open con-
siderable new country in Texas. There
are rumors of much building by the Santa
Fe in the Southwest but it is not general
" believed that any line will be built ex-
cept that from Amarillo to the main line.
