The Grand Jury Qnits

The grand jury finished its work and
was dismissed by the judge Saturday
A nice little package Of papers
were turned over to the court, each
one representing an indictment against
some law breaker whose history had
been disclosed by some one of the 200
witnesses who were summoned to APP
pear before the jury.
A brief story of the jury's sitting is
figured out thus: The petitions calling
a grand jury had thirteen more sigma
lures than were needed; the last sub
poena for witness was issued on
February l3; l3indictments were found
and l3 votes favored each indictment.
This table was undoubtedly made up
up by some one who is superstitious
about the number l3.
But at any rate the jury has quit
and it has "done nice business" 1t
probably didnot make Allen county fit
to be annexed to Heaven without exam
nation; but the members haveregarded
their oaths binding and without be-
coming scandal mongers or busy
bodies have investigated such things
as they learned of that seemed worthy
of inquiry and possible to correct.

TRA|NLOADS Of CITY WATER
Missouri Pacific Supplying Towns and
Factories and Not Paying a Cent
for the City Water.

1t will be remembered that at the
time lola bought the water rights on
the Neosho river and put in good
water works plant, it was understood
that the Missouri Pacific would prob.
ably take city water, paying the city a
small revenue for the same But no
further arrangement was ever made,
The city has the plant and the water,
but the railroad has never made any
terms for using it and continues its
pumping plant at the river.
Not only does it supply the trains
which pass through here, but the Paci-
fic has long water train which hauls
water to Yates Center, to LaHarpe
and to Gas City. At Yates Center the
engines for the road are supplied with
lola water. At LaHarpe train loads
of water are hauled and emptied into
the big dry pond, from which part is
used by the smelter and part soaks
into the ground. At Gas City the same
trouble is arising.
There is no reason why lola should
be hoggish, nor is there any reason
for her to be idiotic. The Missouri
Pacific railway induced the factories
which went east of lola to go there
where that road could do all the
freighting. Otherwise lola would have
had more of them. Now the road is
hauling train loads of water out on
the hills to supply the factories. And
every drop of it is lola city water,
bought and paid for by lola. And the
Missouri Pacific oughtto pay for every
drop of it. Not big, ruinous price,
but reasonable compensation. 1t is
only right and fair and just and the
city ought to get after the road with a
hot poker and make proper terms.
And while discussing city water,
might it not be we'll when that line to
Gas City is put in, to have distinct
understanding that the water from the
mains is used in Gas City and for GER
tain purposes. Would it be wise to
permit anybody to attach big main
to the city's line to use in supplying
factories at any place they might
ee fit. If that is done there is no
limit to the demand that might be
made, the city getting pittance of
revenue and the water going to build
up industries and towns to the east,

News From General Funston.

AS has already been noted General
Funston was expected in Topeka Fri
day to introduce General Fitzhugh
Lee but could not be present as he was
still in the hospital. In the course of
his remarks General Lee referred to
Funston, as told in the following To-
peka dispatch:
General Fitzhugh Lee lectured here
to a large audience in the Auditorium
tonight. He arrived here at noon to-
day over the Rock Island from St.
Joseph, and was given a reception by
Governor and Mrs. Stanley at the
executive mansion in the afternoon.
General Funston was to have been
here today, but his physician at Kan
sas City would not let him come.
When asked this afternoon if he knew
the Kansas fighter General Lee said:
'Oh, yes, met Funston" he res

his face. "Ie came into my office in

Rev. Cnlhertson Accents.

The officers of the Presbyterian
church of lola have received definite
word at last from Rev. Henry Coe Gull
bertson that he will come to lola and
accept the hearty call issued to him
some time ago by the Presbyterian
church of this city. Since the resigna-
tion and departure of Rev. John
Leonard the pulpit has been occupied
by Rev. DR.. Drake and the church has
been seeking new pastor.
The Ladies Society of the church
has been reorganizing and will soon
begin active work of preparation for
the building of their new church on
their lots on east Madison avenue,
opposite the Methodist church.
Rev. Culbertson is expected here in
March, and until his arrival Rev.
Drake will occupy the pulpit.

The Chanute papers haveinterviewed
a man who says huge scheme is be-
ing concocted to put in four million
dollar pipe line in the form of circle
which will extend from lola to Caney
and embrace the Kansas gas belt. Be-
fore this is done leases of lands are to
be taken all through the belt and when
the line is laid wells will be sunk and
this field pired 70 Wichita, Joplin and
Kansas City. This pipe line would
draw on the entire field and would
stop local manufactures before the

as was suggested to the Chanute peo
pie by an lola man, Mr.. A. l.. Taylor
was for every man who leases to in

Chose the Bnnnell Site.

The Board of Education met again
Saturday night and decided to pur-
chase the Bunnell home nlace in East
lola as a site for the new school house.
This was after three meetings at
which the vote was tied. The site is q
beautiful one. 1t includes the land
where the old Bunnell farm house
stands, which is surrounded by trees,
and will thus have ready made
shaded play ground, And it is CEN
trally located for East lola and its
new additions to the south and east.
Speaking of school board d 1agroe-
men,s, Chanute is having some more
rows, They recently voted bonds for
certain purposes and then the board
met to order buildings as the voters
had elected. But some scheming is
being done, and the board mixed up
in row with the result that three
members openly charged the remain
der with dirty work and marched out
of the meeting, one member then and
there resigning. 1t is the talk of the
town and means nasty rumpus.

A New Rural Route Plan

A new move on the part of the house
committee on postoflices may do away
with the present system of rural free
mail delivery as now organized. An
amendment to the postal appropria-
tion bill providing that the work of
delivery be done by contract the same
as is now done on star routes, was un.
animously adopted. The amendment
provides that a contract for carrying
this mail shall be let to the lowest re-
putable bidder, who must live on the
route .and deliver the mail himself
These contracts will be let at the same
rate as is paid in the star routes
which is S24 mile per annum. This
would make the service cost the gov
ernment 5000 year where the route is
twenty-five miles long.
The members of the committee are
not certain that their action will be
approved by the house. The history
of star route contract business is not
such as to afford much grounds for
hope on the part of the committee that
their action will be sustained. An OBJ.
| lection urged by some of those who
are opposed to the contract scheme is
that the rural free delivery carriers
will be displaced and will be sue.
ceeded by persons of. no experience,
and under the contract system there
will be constant change in the per-
sonal of this force, which, it is
claimed, will operate to the detriment
of the mail service.

FOUND TIE JAIL FILTHY.
Grand Jury Recommends Changes
That Mean Practically a New
Place-Establsh Il Rock
Pile.

One of the fixed duties of the grand
jury was to visit the county Jail and
look after its management, later
recommending to the county com
missioners such changes as they deem
wise.
On February II the grand jury visit
ed the lola Jail and they seemed to
have formed a very bad opinion of it.
Here is the report they left with the
county clerk for the county commits
sioners:
The interior of the jail was found to
be in very unsanitary condition. The
floors of the cells were filthy and the
ventilation bad. There is stencil
from the privy vault inside the jail
building which is connected TO pris-
oners rooms by sewer pipe. The
bedding of the prisoners is very scant
the mattresses especially seeming
MOTTO haveenough straw in them-and
the bedding seemed very unclean as
were also tho walls aHd ceiling.
Outside of the building we found
a large manure pile in the Jail
yard, that the closet is in bad shape,
and that u great deal Of litter is scat
tered around outside the jail, espec-
tally in the back yard and under the
back porch.
Wesound a young white woman and
a yofSy negro woman confined in the
same Cell where there was but one cot.
The glass is broken out of the north
side window of their cell.
We recommend that one room be
fitted up, upstairs, with steel vault,
especially for women prisoners, and
that floors, walls and ceilings be
thoroughly renovated and the whole
building be fumigated under the direc-
tion of the board of health
We further recommend the removal
of the old jail barn and all shedding
and board fences from the premises
and that Crock Pile' be established
within the Jail premises and that the
old wooden stairway on the east end
of the Jail be replaced by an iron one.
We further recommend steel lin
ing for the entire inside of the jail
building and some sort of ventilation
running from floor to roof
We recommend separate cells for
colored and white prisoners and that
no stock of any kind be kept on jail
premises.
If the amount Of money allowed the
sheriff for feeding prisoners is not
sufficient underthe existing high prices
we recommend that sufficient amount
be allowed the sheriff so that each
prisoner will have enough substantial,
wholesome food.
We further find thatthere is insullic.
lent room in the county jail to accom-.
odate city prisoners SIGNED
The recommendations above made
were unanimous, the grand jury being
firmly convinced that Il rock pile vii
prove an eXcellentaddition to the Jail
Their ideas on the quantity and quail.
ity of food were doubtless gained from
complaints from prisoners. The wo'
mems department never was adequate
at the Jail and the cage on the second
floor is a good idea, although it vii
not be welcomed by some of the
trusty men who have escaped the cage
below.
1t is serious question whether il
all the things the grand jury recon-
mends are to be done it would not al
most be better and cheaper to build a
new, sanitary, ventilated, drained ant
modern jail. The old one will never
lie clean and sanitary.

How to EXterminateA Ants.

Ants are very troublesome in green
houses and other glass structures,
and they so quickly become large
colonies that they are frequently
worse than nuisance. We have seen
many remedies tried, but there is
nothing that SO quickly drives them
off as little petroleum poured about
their runs and into their nests. We
recently saw them thus cleared from
an orange tree which was growing in
a house. Sufficient petroleum was
put into saucer to just cover the
bottom, and in this the orange pot
was placed, with the result that in. a
short time not an ant was to be seen.
An economical and convenient way,
in some cases, is to attach sponge
saturated with oil to sharpened
stick. This can be stuck in the
ground or laid down, and can be re-
moved from one place to another
Absorbent rags will do if a sponge
is not available. Agricultural Epito-

RAVAGES OF RABBITS.
In Some Sections of the Country the
Loss Caused by the Little Root
i ers Is Quite SeriOus

In many of the less closely settled
regions of our country, when SHOWS
are deep and food scarce, rabbits de-
velop into a serious pest by gnawing
the bark of fruit trees. Some items
about this trouble from recent bulle-
ting by I'll. Garman, ofsthe Kentucky
station, may, therefore, not come

When the nursery is small it is pos
sible to inclose it with a close Stat
fence that will "turn'' rabbits and
serve all the purposes of the ordinary
fences required to keep out stock. In
timbered countries, where rabbits are
most troublesome, fences of this char
acter may be cheaply built. Two types
of fence suitable for the purpose are
to be seen in the state. The most COM
mon is made of rough Stats, four to six
feet long, and about three inches in
width. The Stats are securely fastened
together from one to two inches apart

BEES AND FORTHCOMING.
Authorities Everywhere Agree That
the Value of the Busy Little In
sects Cannot BE Overestimated.

The facts in regard to the value of
honey bees in connection with fruit
growing is beginning to show up in
plain view. Scientists of late have
proven beyond the shadow of a doubt
the Importance of honey bees in dis
tributing pollen from blossom to bios
som in the orchards of this country.
It has been proven beyond contradic-
ton that the honey bee is the best
agent, and the only one that we can
place our best hopes to 90 the work
successfully. Cross pollenation can
only be done by insects of which bees
are the principal, and self-pollenation
is considered not near; SO successful.
The value of bees in this particular is
not only confined to fruit-growing but
to everything that carries pollen in
the line of fruit or grain, and yegeta-
bles also. Those who have made OBJ
servations in this line can testify to
the facts that bees work largely on
many of the leading cereals grown on
the farm, and besides this almost every
vegetable that either furnishes honey
or pollen. No insects compares with
honey bees in this work. Bees can
vass several miles in diameter, and
work as regular as the farmland, and
frequently much earlier in the morn
ings and later in the evenings. The
wideawake fruit grower of.the present
time, the up-to-date horticulturists are
already aware of this discovery, and
provisions are made for the. bees so
that they can take hand in.the work.
/ know of some of the leading fruit
growers who" have several hundred
acres of fruit orchards in this coun-
try, purchasing bees for the sole pur-
pose of fertilization of the bloom the
coming spring. This has undoubtedly
been the greatest trouble in returns
from orchard growing in the western
country owing to the absence of flower
visiting insects which are more nu-
merous in the east.-A. H. Duff, in Prai-
RE Farmer.
