shared in its history and as editor of
the Leavenworth Times has always
stood up for the rights of the old
soldiers.
The street car conductors say that
children are getting in the habit of
jumping off and on the cars. 1t is a
mighty dangerous practice. If the
conductors get impatient and kick the
boys off there will be row, and the
boys knowing this enjoy the sport.
What is needed is an ordinance en-
powering the conductors to arrest
boys doing this and to bring them to
town and turn them over to the regu-
lar officers.

There are Eve slaughter houses in a
row between lola and the river, main
tanned by different butchers. They
are: Kruger & Sons, Brigham d
McNiel, Up-to-Date. now unused,
Joyce & Gates, and Readicker q
Pruitts. II all these firms could agree
and secure a good location with good
drainage, they could support a good
slaughter house, and at less cost.
That would be the nucleus for a small
packing house that might grow into
bigger one.

The dispatches on the telegraph
page telling of a big 10000 pound fly
wheel going to piecee in Kansas City
calls to mind little accident which
occurred in lola not long ago. 1t
happened out at the planning mill the
day after Mr. Chapman's death. One
of the wheels on big buzz saw there
suddenly few to pieces and the air
was hot for few moments with pieces
of flying iron. Mr.. Graham, pattern
maker for the foundry, does his work
in the planning mill and several of the
biggest chunks whizzed through where
he always works. He was laying off
on account of Mr.. Chapmans death
but had he been at work as usual he
would have been instantly killed.
