Elk City Claims Oldest Native.

The attention of Colonel John
son of this city is respectfully
called to the following from the
Elm City Enterprise:
The Kansas press has indulg-
ed in great deal of discussion
in recent years relative to the
Oldest native Kansan. Elk City
has not taken part in the discus
sion, but we claim the distinc-
ton of having man Within our
bailiwick who, if he does not
head the list of "oldest living
natives," will stand mighty close
to the top.
This gentlen an is d. c. Rut-
ledge, who lives on The old
Tompson place, four miles south
east of Elk Citp. He was born
in what is now Cherokee county,
just quarter of a mile this side
of the Missouri line, in 1899,
and.if he lives -nutil the 18TH of
March, will celebate his 10Th
birthday.
1t was just an accident that
Mr.. Rutledge was born on Kan.
sas soil, as his f,rther~hada mi
grated from tho East to the wilds
of western Missouri, and lived
contentedly in his new home,
under the impression that he
was a citizen of the state of
mules and big red apples. A
survey was made through that
region one day, however, and
Mr.. Rutledge discovered that he.
had been living in Kansas all
the time. On this farm D. c.
Rutledge was born, and for 7oI
years he has known no other
home but Kansas. When the
rebellion broke out, he shoul-
dered his gun and served through
it in the First and Thirteenth
Kansas regiments. Notwith-
standing his 70 years, he is still
hale aud hearty, as a man
should be who has spent his life
in the salubrlous climate of
Kansas.

This afternoon is patron
day at the East-side school, and
scholars from the "wee tot" to
the 10th grades have sent invi-
tatrons to their parents or guar
dians to visit the school at that
time. The motive is for them
to acquaint themselves with the
work being done in the school

suitable to the occasion will be
presented. 1t is hoped all who
receive an invitation will re-
spond, as by their presence they

President Would Aid Cuba.

Last Saturdays dispatches say
that President Roosevelt notified
the leaders of the house and
senate that unless they showed a
disposition to act promptly to-
ward gibing relief to Cuba, he
would send a special message to
congress on he subject.
At the presidents invitation,
Senators Aldrich, Allison I'd
Spooner, Speaker Henderson
and Representatives Grosvener
and Cannon went to the White
House. These men were most
often in conference with Presi-
dent Mckinley when the Span
ish war clouds were gathering.
President Roosevelt talked to
these leaders for nearly two
hours, and after getting some
idea from them as TO the legis-
lative program, he told hem
frankly that the question of con-
cessions to Cuba was the most
important Of all, and that it was
the desire of the administration
that it be brought to the front at
once. Then he declared that if
the leaders continue to postpone
oction, he would send to con.
gress spe cial message calling
attention to the immediate ne
cessity of the case and urging
speedy legislation. He impress
ed upon them agnin the obliga-
tions of the country and the
suffering and destruction that
would result from further delay.

MissOurians Lynch Negro

New MADRID, Mo-, Feb. II.

travelling colored minstrel troupe
was lynched here last st-night and
several others OF his party were
badly beaten up by a mob of
masked men that broke into the
Jail, where the men had been
confined fol shooting into their
audience Saturday night.
Richards & Pringle's troupe
came to town in a special car.
During their entertainment an
alteration arose between some
white boys and the darkies. The
latter finally opened fire on the
audience, without injuting any
body, however.
The negroes escaped by a rear
door and sought refuge in their
car, which was soon surrounded
by armed men.

Sheriff Moore, accompanied
by DR.. Kirkpatrick, went out to
the home of L. v. Harrell, in
Washington township, and
brought Harrell to town, and in
doing so had quite an exciting
time. A few days ago, E. F.
Borror filed complaint against
Harrell alleging him insane, and
his condition was such as 10 make
his running at large unsafe to
the public. Harrell, who is a
Radical United Brethren preach
er, is raving maniac, and it,
took the combined efforts of
three large men to put him into
the wagon and bring him to town.
Before getting him to the city
Jail the man gave Sheriff Moore
and his assistants quite a scuff1e,
but they finally landed him be-
hind the bars. He went crazy
