1T WITHSTANDS DROUTH
M. A. Carleton, the Expert Cerealist
Found the Article.

Topeka, Jan. 3.-M. A. Carleton,
formerly of Kansas, and now a gov
ernment cerealst in the United States
Department of Agriculture was in the
city today on his way to the govern
ment experimenting station at Man
haitian, where he goes to make ar.
rangements for the distribution of
i macaroni wheat.
This cereal is known to some peo-
pie as durum, but Mr.. Carleton has
called it macaroni, because it is used
to "a great extent in making up the
Italians most popular food. But be-
sides this fact the wheat has an ex-
cellent flavor and according to Mr..
Carleton makes better and more de-
licious bread than that which is made
from ordinary wheat.
Mr.. Carleton is noted expert on
cereals. After completing his work
in Kansas he will go on to Fargo, as
the government representative at the
Tri-State Grain Growers convention.
He was formerly assistant, professor
Of botany at the State agricultural
college at Manhattan, but left that
place to identify himself with the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture. HIS home is uJ Wabaunsee.
In speaking of the new kind of wheat
which the department is introducing
into the western states Mr.. Carleton
said:
"We are looking for a grain that
will live throughthe drouths. During
the last two years the crops have been
good, but frequently before that time
the crops have not been satisfactory.
So we must learn from experience.
Past years show us that these dry
spells run in periods, consequently we
must prepare ourselves for the off
years.
"Just now the most promising :m-
portation which we have, is called du-
rum, or macaroni wheat. During the
past year we have imported for distri-
button about 900 bushels, and at the
present time, there is another 1000
bushels on the way from Russia. We
will distribute these wheats through
the state experimenting stations. 1t
is the departments plan to allot cer-
tain portions to each state and If we
get requests from farmers we refer

TT. Scott's Narrow Escape.

Mr., b. z. Mcdonald, president oi
the Ft. Scott, lola g. Western, tell:
some interesting "reminiscences of wal
times to the TT. Scott Monitor. He
recently recalled Prices raid when he
himself and family narrowly escaped
death and the Union general ordered
TT. Scott fired and deserted. Colonel
Jewell disobeyed orders and Price
went by. This was the same raid
which accomplished the burning OF
Humboldt, threatened lola and is re-
membered by the old timers. Mr..
McDonald's story is further of inter-
est for his son viii, mentioned in the
tale, is now located in lola looking
after the new road.
Mr.. Mcdonald says:
Forty years ago Sunday l was
sitting on the front steps OF a house
which stood where DR.. Mcdonald 5
Office now.is. There was nothing be-
tween that point and the hill east of
town. Isaw some shooting, but think
ing it was Colonel Weir, who was in
camp about where Margrave street
now is, gave it but little concern.
Pretty soon | was surprised to see a
company of cavalry on the hill. 1t
was part OF Prices advance guard
and they had arranged to steal the
governmentmules which were outwhere
the Diamond farm is now. Our men
attacked them, but twas only asskirm-
ish. Then it appeared that Fort Scott
was to be attacked and General Lowe
issued orders to Colonel Jewett to
destroy the town and return to Fort
Lincoln, up about Fulton. wanted
TO be safe and my wife, our baby,
Will, and myself went on to Mapleton.
Colonel Jewell disobeyed orders and
remained:here and afterwards it de-
veloped that Prices armv never in
tended to attack Fort Scott, as they
were headed to Lexington. Colonel
Jewell is the man who saved Fort
Scott, but on the way we heard some
scant fighting. When we reached
point IA few miles north of Scott |
looked into the barrel of musket.
The fellow was in little log cabin
and aiming at me with his finger on
the trigger. He was about to let
loose, thinking we were not his friends,
but he evidently changed his mind and
we passed safely on. When reached
here | learned that the Union forces
had no scouts out there and then it
developed that my life had been in the
hands of rebels ~

One of the most pleasant events of
Christmas day was witnessed at the
home of j. w. Baxley fourmiles south
of the city when Miss Grace BaXley
and Mr.. Marshall Adams were joined
in the solemn rites of matrimony. 1t
was a pretty home wedding witnessed
by the relatives of the family and a
few intimate friends. At high noon
as the last strains of the wedding
march played by Miss Maude Myers
of Humboldt died away the bride and
groom attended by Miss Bessie Baxley
and Mr.. Chas. Baxley entered the
south parlor where the solemn words
which made them man and wife were
impressively spoken by Rev. William
Haukins. The words of blessing
added by the minister were the true
sentiments of each one present. After
congratulations the company ad-
iourned to the dining room where
dainty yet sumptous wedding dinner
was spread. The bride wore a lovely
costume OF pale blue albatros with
applique and white silk trimmings.
The groom appeared in the customary

fellow workmen pleasantly and at the
sound of the whistle laid his hand or
an upright beam, preparatory to as
cending to the place where he Was
working. Then the blow came and
without an outcry he sank to his knees
and then to the floor. Several men
saw him fall and hurried to his side.
Apparently he was dead when they
reached him, but they carried him to
the open air and did what they could
in the hope ofreviving him. DR.. Coff-
man was telephoned for and soon
arrived on the scene, but could do
nothing andhe stated that Mr.. Knight
must have died almost as soon as he
reached the ground. Coroner f. d.
Teas was notified and viewed the re-
mains, later authorizing the removal

Will Mills Arrest

People who heard Duff Palstripp's s
account of how he was prevented from
making an arrest of one of the north
side bar tenders by the interference of
VIII Mills, have been wondering why
something was not done to Mills.
And more particularly as Duff got
mixed in an argument over the affair
which cost him his job as deputy
sheriff. 1t seems that he did file u
complaint and a warrant was issued
charging Mills with having interfered
with an officer in the discharge of his
duty. Palstring, it will be remem-
bered, said Mills closed door after
bar tender whom the deputy ar
rested stepped through and either by
force or word detained the officer.
Sunday Mills was placed under ar
rest, gave bond and will have a hear

Mrs. o. p. Ramsay Burned

One of the most stdistressing accidents
for long time in the culinary world
happened to Mrs. o. p. Ramsay,
whose home is on Scott street in the
Davis addition the other day She
was cooking onions in lard can on
which the top was fastened. Not ex-
pecting the can to come to boil as
soon as it did, she was not prepared
for the burst of steam which issued
with explosive force from it when she
finally pried tie lid Off. The steam
shot in her face, severely and pain
fully burning it. Wild with the pain
she ran out in the yard and dashed
cold water over her countenance, a
very bad thing to do. DR.. Morgan
happened to be in the neighborhood
and he ordered her to go indoors.
L ater her face panied her more seve-
rely and she summoned DR.. Hendricks,
who applied the standard remedy oi
sweet oil and cotton. But the burn
and the dash of cold water had done
its work and when the cotton was
taken off to redress the injury the
skin came from her face also. IL will
be some time before the injuries hea
and Mrs. Ramsay has the sympathy
of all her friends in the unfortunate
mishap.
