WHERE SAM WOOD DIED.
Scene of His Cruel Murder Undergo
ing Change.

The Methodist church at Hugoton.
Stevens county, in which Sam Wood
was killed by James Brennan ten years
ago, is being torn down. 1t is the most
historic building in the extreme south
western part of the state, and it is al
ways pointed out to visitors in that sec
ton as the place where was enacted the
final tragedy of the great Stevens coun
ty war in which a number of men were
killed.
The church has not been in use for
number of years, and the windows
have been broken out. Three times it
has been struck by lightning, and the
superstitious look upon these incidents
as manifestations that the place is I'M
der the wrath of the Almighty for the
crime which was committed within it
and which was never punished, because
there were not enough unprecedented
people within the county to sit on the
jury to try the murderer
A short time ago the building was
purchased of the church trustees by A.
A. Palmer, who is in Topeka today at
tending the Populist state conference,
and he is tearing it down and using the
material for other purposes.

Unionists and Imperial-Liberals, under
the leadership of the Duke of Devon
shire and Lord Rosebery, besides the
possible detection of the Times in it's
support of the present government.
Something of this is visible in the
Globes editorial article this afternoon,
which while congratulating Lord Rose
berry on his emancipation, dilateS
strongly on the pettiness of the differ
ences between his policy and that of the
Unionists.
The Pail Mall Gazette follows other
Tory opinion in declaring that a man
that can write such a letter as a reply
to Sir Henry mpbell-Bannerman, has
the grit which the EN- pire expects of
those who lead it.
The Westminster Gazette, hitherto
divided in its allegiance comes out in
favor of Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man, but sorrowfully admits that Lord
Rosebery'S letter means another term
of government for the Unionists, while
it fears Lord Rosebery'S group may be
liable to absorption in that party.

HIS NOVEL CARD.
How Leoti Hotel Man Booms His
Business.

P. NJ. Reinheimer, of Frank Grimes
town, Leoti, was in Topeka yesterday.
He is proprietor of a hotel in Leou,
and his business card IS something of
a novelty. Displayed on the two sides
of the card is the following:
twenty-five cents a hashi Twenty
five cents a sleep! Not the largest hotel
in the berg! Not newly furnished
throughout Not free bus to all
trains! Not the best grub the market
affords, but simply clean beds and
som ething good to eat-toothpicks
thrown in.
Our city is composed mostly of
brown water spaniels, greyhounds,
business men, real estate men and liars,
named in the orde of their import

NEW SET OF MEN
Rather Than New Set of Prin-
ciples Needed in England.

London, Feb. 21.-Lord Rose5ery's an
nouncen ent of his final separation from
Sir Henry mpbell-Banner.nan's sec
ton of the Liberal party forms a fruit
full topic for editorial articles and for
discussion in all quarters of Great
Britain. One of the most noticeable
phases is the curious effect the letter
produced on the wording of the Times
editorial on the subject. Its friendi-
ness to the ex-premier might easily be
explained on the ground of Unionist
delight at a definite split in the oppo-
sition ranks Its declaration that
.ymaat the country wants is not
brand new set of principles but a new
set of men capable of replacing the
present set without upsetting the policy
of the empire preceding the significant
demand. Lord Rosebery's party must
prove that they can be trusted to in
fuse business energy and capacity into
the prosecution of the imperial policy

of efforts in that direction may seem to
be remote we can only SAY it may
come sooner than anybody expects.

BEHIND THE TIMES.
United States Department Hasn't
Heard About Kansas Beet Sugar.

1t is evident that the United States
department of agriculture is not up to
date on the subject of the sugar beet
industry in Kansas. Washington
correspondent is sending out quotations
from the reports of the government
experts to prove that sugar beets cannot
be successfully grown in Kansas. These
reports allege that the sugar content
and purity of beets grown in Kansas is
too low for profitable culture for sugar
purposes.
This will bring forth a broad
smile from the Arkansas valley, where
it was proven the past year that sugar
beets will produce a larger per cent of
sugar and can be grown more success
fully than almost anywhere else in the
United States, and SURPRISING even the
great sugar beet country of Germany
The trouble with the United States de-
partment of agriculture is that it does
not appreciate the extent of Kansas rel
sources, nor the fact that it isn't a little
one-horse state with only one kind of
climate and soil. A few facts from
Secretary Coburn to the department of
agriculture might not now be out of
place.

PILFERING AN ESTATE.
New York Judge Closes Expensive
Stewart Case Litigation.

New York, Feb. 21.-Another attempt
to throw the estate of A. T. Stewart into
litigation has been stopped by Justice
Scott of the supreme court. 1t was in
the form of an action brought against
the estate, which virtually was action
in ejectment, affecting all of the proper
ty left by Mr.. Stewart. Counsel for
John Stewart, the plaintiff, made mo-
ton for the appointment of committee
to take the testimony of great many
persons at present living in Ireland as
to the alleged relationship of the plain
tiff to the dead millionaire merchant.
The court said that ordinarily such
motion would be granted. but that in
the present case he was satisfied that
the case appeared to be a speculative
action. and had not been shown to differ
from similar actions which had been
dismissed.
There should come a time" said the
court, when merely veXations and har-
assing litigation will not be ordered by
the court. 1t would seem. therefore,
that as to the estate of A. T. Stewart,
that time has come"
