MISS PHILLIPS BURNED.
In Lighting Gas stove Her Face and
Hair Came in Contact With
the Flames.

While lighting her gas stove Wed
nesdav about 8 O'Clock, Miss Mollie
Philips was seriously burned at her
home on w. Burke street by the flame
from the stove flying in her face Her
face and hair were terribly burned but
her ewes were not injured nor was uer
clothing burned.
The cause of the flame flying in her
face was the gas being turned on full
and in STOPPING down to light it, her
face being too close, her hair took
fire
She is resting as easy as could be
expected today but her face is very
sore. If her clothing had caught fire
it would have been more serious.

witnesses in the war department in

First he tried to engage Frank Kelly

LEASE OF LANDS.
Commissioners Will Discuss Contin.
uance of the Plan.

On February the county commission
will pass upon the question of continu-
ing the leasing of land held for unpaid
taxes
The commissioners last year. under the
law passed by the legislature of 1901 adopt
ed the right to lease, lands held by the
county. The law under which the COM
missioners acted is follows:
That in all cases where lands or town
lots are sold for delinquent taxes lawfully
assessed and bid in at such tax sale for
the county in which they are situated and
held by the county under such tax sale for
period of three years more from the
date of such sale, the board of county
commissioners may take possession of and
lease the land to the highest bidder there
for. for a period of one year, and continue
to so lease the same until the amount due
the county for taxes shall be fully paid. "
The first year of leasing lands has not
been a great success. as only 165 pieces
of property out of about 2.130 have been
leased. The total amount received for
leased lands for the year has amounted
to but SIS. s.. The commissioners received
bids from persons who wished to lease
lands and the lands were leased to the
highest bidder. In most cases there was
no competition. In Willard five lots We're
leased for the year for 81 In Knox addi-
ton to Topeka ninety-three lots We're
leased for $3.50. In Quinton Heights TWEEN
ty lots were leased for S.. The commits
sionerS think that little competitive bid
ding would bring more money into the
county treasury.

BUYS HERD OF CATTLE
@. A. Stannard, of Sunny Slope Farm
Makes Investment.

Emporia, Jan. &c. A. Stannard,
owner of the Sunny Slope farm, at En-
poria, has bought the herd of Hereford
cattle of George S. Tamblyn, of Okla
homa. The consideration is not made
public. 1t must be a good sized sum,
however. The herd consists of 101 cat
tie, and a number of them are of I'M
usually good quality. Mr.. Tamblyn has
for several years been a regular at
tendant at the cattle sales at the KAN
sas City stock yards, and has been a
heavy bidder. If a particular bull or
COW attracted his fancy, he did not hes
itate to pay for it all he thought it was
worth. He owned not few animals
that cost him 500, $500 or 1000.
Mr.. Stannard bought most of the herd
this being true especially of the bulls.
The rest he will keep. Mr.. Tamblyn
probably would have not sold out his
herd, but for the financial reverses re-
Gently met with by his farm.

Small Railroad Strike.

Wichita, Kas, Jan. 16.-Sixty-eight
laborers employed by the Missouri Pa
cific railroad company lined up in front
of the depot Wednesday and demanded
their pay. The demonstration was in
the nature of a strike. The men had
been hired to complete a certain job at
81 25 per day, and though they had been
at work for some time they had not re-
ceived any pay. They We're paid off
and then told their services were no
longer needed. The railroad people ex-
plain the affair by saying that when
special work is done for the company
payment is made only when it is COM
pleted. The men say that they We're
afraid that they would not get cent,
and so concluded to strike.
