Beware Of This Graft.

Kansas towns are being worked by
. picture graft. Emporia has just
suffered. 1t works this way, accord
ing to the Gazette: A picture CRATER
almost got away with . $500 note
signsd by Mrs. Thomas Thompson
who lives near the new Thompson
ford. Last week the grafters were
delivering lot Of pictures which had
been enlarged for the people. The
pictures are enlarged free Of charge
and when agents take them around
they ask IS for the frame In which
they have each picture. At the
Thompson home Mrs. Thompson gave
note for the IS ss she did not hap
pen to have the change on hand when
the picture was delivered. After the
.graiters had left her house she heard
the agent held her note for $500 in
stead Of IS. Mrs. Thompson imme'
diately started out after the agents and
after securing the country, found
them. She demanded the note and
by much persuasion it was returned
to her. The note read $500. 1t is
thought the man made it appear a
$500 note instead Of IS. The picture
,grafters had hard time in the coun'
ty because the pictures were not
what they said they would make. A
great many refused the pictures and
some got them for almost nothing.

CAUSED WRIT wAIroH's DEATH.
Doy Copisssss 70 Throwing Engine
from the Track.

So far as the general public is con-
cerned no reason was ever discovered
Why the engine which killed Writ W.
Walton, the well known Clay Center
editor and Fifth district politician in
1886, ever left the track. Although
the railroad company made the
minutest inspection, and hundreds Oh
curious visitors to the scene Of dis
.stsr sought out everything which
seemed tc suggest the slightest clue
nothing was found. The engine, run.
ming at only fair rate Of speed sud-
denly left the track, turned over
burying the unfortunate man under
the mass In such way that be inhaled
20 much Of the scalding steam that
it killed him twenty hours later.
Absolutely no theory Was ever de-
vslopsd and given to the public that
Was based on anything surely known
The Clay Center Times says that now
II is being told that on bis death bed
some boy living on the east side OF
tho river opposite the Place where the
accident occurred, confessed that he
and 4 companion living near the track
placed a railroad spike on the outside
rail Of the curve. They expected the
train to simply mash tho spike in
much the same way pin is mashed.
But it being on . heavy curve the en-
CINE left the rails like . shot. The
boys were in hiding as boys will.
As soon as they saw the awful result
Of THAR thoughtlessness they scam
pered for home without telling or
letting any one know they we're in
that vicinity. 1t is said the story
WAS known two years later; be that
IS it may, the public never knew.

FARMERS TAKE HOME GIFTS.
Busiest Saturday in the Year for the
Stores.

This was the busiest Saturday In
the year for the merchauts-the Sat-
urday before Christmas. There are
three things that the farmer who re-
sides at distance makes part Of an
annual pilgrimage; To pay bis taxes,
to pay for his county seat paper, to
buy Christmas things for the chill.
dren.
The merchants say that there are
fewer "gimcracks" and novelties pur.
chased than there used to be. The srti.
Giles bought cost more money and are
Of greater usefulness. The hard
times brought about an era Of cheap
presents, those that made the big
gest show for the money. With the
return OF the better days and the
coming of larger crop returns they
made the holiday season a time for
showing that they had saved some
thing.
One effect Of the rapid diffusion Of
the rural mail route in the west has
been made manifest this season In
the large amount Of money sent to
the mail order houses Of the large
cities for presents. The farmers
we're supplied with the catalogues
early in the autumn and every rural
Carrier who comes into the average
Kansas town has a list Of money
orders for the mail order houses. The
goods purchased include steel ranges,
buggies and even agricultural imple-
ments. Groceries for the holiday
trade are prepared by these firms to
large quantities. 1t means the loss
Of large cash trade and the holiday
time is the most aggravating season
for such a falling off. One Central
Kansas paper has announced that it
will publish the names Of every family
receiving presents BY express from
the mail order houses, but it won't.
The buyers in the western COM
munities apparently have no doubts
about the outlook for the business
future. They are buying without
timidity or expectation that the next
year will show any financial depres-
sion. Last year the farmers had the
loss Of the corn crop and the inferior
condition Of the wheat crop to face.
They were afraid that there might
be a serious crop shortage. That
fear passed AM now they have not
only the good crop returns and an
abundance OF feed for the winter, but
the wheat, just covered bya blanket
Of snow, is giving promise Of excep-
tional growth. The warm autumn
has made the outlook for the coming
winter excellent for stock. The holi.
days find the western communities
we'll prepared to enjoy the occasion.

YALE FACULTY APPEALS
From a Decision by the Postofice De
 partment

From Decision by the Postoffice De
 partment.
 The faculty of Yale university through it's secretary, has appealed to Congressman Sperry to intercede with the postoffice department in the rulings of the department relative to college publications. Tn accordance with the order of the postmaster general of July r. 1901, many publications hereto fore allowed to go as second class mail matter are now compelled to go as third class and pay a much higher rate of postage. Among these publications are of colleges and schools, Such catalogues have been allowed to go as second class matter under the act of July 16, 1894, but the department has lately ruled that all such publications must be sent as third class matter.
 This matter was carefully considered by the department in the case of the g ppeal of Harvard university. The de-
 
 issued by Harvard under the title of "The University Publica- tions" could no longer go as second class matter, as they really were noth- ing but catalogues or annual reports. The department maintained in this case that only periodical publications which of current news or miscellane- ous literary matter and which have not the characteristics of books, are entitled to entry as second class matter. These must be issued at least four times a year.
 In view of their former decisions the has ruled that the "Bulle- tins of Information, Yale University which are really catalogues of the vari- ous branches of the university, cannot 20 as second class matter but must pay the postage of books rate.

JOSEPH pURCELL

Joseph Purcell, who was well known as the keeper of the restaurant on the summit of East Rock park, died sud- denly Saturday morning at his resi- dence on State street across the city line. MT. Purcell was sixty years of age. The cause of his death was apo plexy A number of years ago he was engaged in the saloon business down town, and for many years his place of business was located on Franklin street near the corner of Grand avenue. When the stone structure was built on East Rock he leased the building from the park commission for a restaurant, but the venture never proved success. MT. Purcell leaves five children.
