A BREATHING SPELL.

If the Consumptlve could
only keep from getting worse
it would be some encourage
ment.
SCOTS Emulsion at least
gives tired nature a breathing
spell from the exhausting con-
hict with disease.
Rich nourishment, strength
to repair bodily waste, new life
tor the lung, these are what
SCOTS Emulsion brings.
Often it enables nature to
gather force enough to throw
off the disease altogether.
SCOTS Emulsion is valuable
at the beginning. Then is
when cure is most certain.
But.in any stage. of the disease
SCOTS Emulsion counteracts
the work of destruction and
reinforces nature.

FATHER WANTS HER.
Report That Cox VIII Try TO GEL Possession
Of His Little Daughter.

A report is current from somewhere
that Jim Cox, the father of the little
girl whose mother died at the county
farm a short time ago after being
deserted by him, has been heard from
and will come here and claim the
child. County Clerk Newlin, who
was appointed guardian for the little
girl says he has no knowledge Of any
thing of the sort, but says that il
there is anything in the report, the
fellow will have a good time getting
possession of the waif. He says there
are plenty of people of good character
who will testify that he is not fit to
be the guardian of anything. He de-
serted his wife several times and once
went off with another woman.
The little one has been placed In
the family of j. j. Measer, north
west of town where it is thought she
will have as good a home as could be
found I'm the county.

HUTCHINSON RENO COUNTY, KANSAS THURSDAY JANUARY 80 1902
LITTLE RIVER BOND CASE.
A Gull with MakeO tho County AniagOnIzo
tho Township, Should moi Have Deem.

Judge @. H. Foote, Of Topeka, was
in the city the first of the week for
the purpose Of taking evidence In II
case In which the county Is very con-
slderably interested, The case Is
known as the Little River bond case.
The history Of 1t shows that the time
for working skin games on bond deals
with the county is not altogether
past, at least not very far,
In July 1893 the county comis-
sloners entered into a contact TO
buy $23, 900 worth Of railroad bonds
issued by Little River township for
aid TO the Frisco, They were thirty
year bonds and drew six percent In
terest The commissioners seem to
have made the deal on this basis, and
allowed L. A. Bigger something over
two thousand dollars for n margin on
the transaction,
1t now happens that Little River
township discovers that 1t can float
its bonds for four and one quarter
percent instead of six, and naturally
the township wants to refund on that
basis. They also have found that
before the bonds were issued TO the
railroad company the legislature had
passed law making all bonds which
might be issued after that time In aid
Of railroads, payable after ten years.
This being true the bonds must have
been payable at the time the contract
with the commissioners was made
or very soon thereafter So suit has
been commenced by Little River
township to pay of the bonds, and
the county Is resisting 1t, for the rca-
son that 1t knocks its investment into
cooked hat and will cause 1t to
loose the bonus paid to l.. A. bigger.
On the side Of the county as holder
Of the bonds ut present 1t Is claimed
that while the bonds were issued to
the railroad after the law making
them payable in ten years was passed,
the election for the voting Of the
bonds was held prior to that time.
This they hol& Is tie making Of the
contract and that law cannot be
made to retroact in case like that.
But anyway it seems to have in 1t
the making of a good large law suit.
Judge Foote was here to represent
parties who propose to refund the
bonds, or rather, parties who will buy
them if they are refunded Ewing
Stumm, the court stenographer, has
been appointed referee to take the
evidence, which has been delayed till
next week.

INSANE,
An Old Soldier Who Stole an 0vSroOai and
was Jailed Becomes insane.

The county has been In trouble
with an old man by the name of Mar
Gus S. d. Collins. That name is
enough to make him trouble, but he
has had much more. lie landed here
a little over a week ago, and as well
as the officers can learn came from
Ottawa. He had some papers to
show that he was an old soldier, lie
also had some papers showing that
he had compelled the county commits
sioners Of other counties to take cog
nizance Of his wants and necessities.
He seems to have Travelled about beg
glng and working various sympathy
games among the old soldiers. He
worked at II here to some extent and
was finally charged by one Of the
members OF Joe Hooker post with
stealing an overcoat from the grand
army lodge room. lie was arrested
and logded in Jail, but had not been
there long until he began to develop
unmistakable signs Of insanity, He
rayed at the Jailer. lie prayed to the
Lord and swore at him alternately.
lie pleaded for mercy and forgiveness
for the crimes Of which he protested
innocence.
lie was to have a preliminary trial
on the larceny charge the last Of the
week, but he grew bad so rapidly that
on Friday, before time for the pre-
liminary, he was taken before the
probate Judge and given Il hearing be-
fore u jury to ascertain whether his
mind was sound The jury had no
difficulty in deciding that he was in
sane for by that time he was wild
and raying badly, lie will be taken
to one Of the asylumS as soon as ar
rangementS can be made.

CATTLE GO TO MARKET.


A large number Of cattle were sent
from the Hutchinson yards to mar
ket last week. Sullivan and Mills
who have been feeding so many at
the stock yards shipped fifteen cars
over the Missouri Pacific to the St.
Louis markets Saturday. These were
all fat steers and there were about
three hundred head in the bunch.
While it remains to be seen what
their profit will be, that being deter
mined by the selling price, yet the
owners feel very.well pleased with the
thriftiness shown by the steers while
on the cotton seed meal and hullS IA
tion.
There appears to be no doubt as to
the success Of this sort of feeding,
A. p. johnson sold one hundred head
of fat steers to parties at Peabody the
latter part of the week at 81. % per
hundred The sale was conSummated
through the st John Trust company.
S. S. Gaybill also sold nine carloads
the last of the week to one Missouri
man who shipped them out Sunday.
Harvey Eisiminger shipped two
cars over the Rock Island Monday
and Frank Wolcott three. Taken al
together these shipments made quite
a movement among cattle for the
week.

$1,000 DAMAGES.
Jury Awards $1,000 to tho Parents Of Rou'
bon Aamlln as Damages for His Death.

The case OF NJ. Hamlin against the
Santa Fe railroad company for dam
ages claimed for the death OF his son
Reuben, was tried In the district
court before u jury Thursday and
Friday last week. This Is the case
resulting from the killing Of Reuben
Hamlin while he was working with
n steel gang laying track between
this place and Partridge few months
ago.
The parents Of the boy were repre-
sented by VIM, Whitolaw and james
McKlnstry and the Santa Fe by II,
Whltesldc and A. G. Malloy. 1t
seems to have been proven that the
usual signals and warnings Of the APP
proach Of the train were given, The
engineer blew the whistle as II ap-
preached the place where the gang
were working and was signalcd by
the foreman Of the gang that the
track was all right, The train ran
through with the bell ringing and
the foreman gave his general warning
to the men to get out Of the way. 1t
was contended by the attorneys for
the railroad that this Is sufficient to
absolve the company from any lia-
blllty Of damages for his death The
attorneys for Mr.. Hamlln c0ntended
that 1t was the duty of the employees
Of the company in order to relieve 1t
from damages to see that he had per-
Sonal notice.
The case was strongly fought and
the jury awarded damages to the
amount Of 81 900. 1t is expected that
the attorneys will make a motion for
q new trial and the attorneys for the
plaintiff say they do not feel like
fighting such a motion very hard as
they believe they can secure a better
verdict for their client,

Coos TO lola.

Mr.. Harvey Elsiminger tells his
friends that as early as In March he
expects to move with his wife to lola,
Kansas. Mr. Eisiminger has paid
several visits to Mr.. S. NJ. Cooper
who formerly owned the White lum-
ber yard in his city, and the supply
Of natural gas with other surround
ings so impressed him that he decided
to leave the farm with his boys and
move there and take life easy. Mr..
Eisimlnger has one Of the best farms
in the county and is generally reck-
Oned as one Of our most substantial
citizens. 1t is some thing hard to
understand how he should arrive at
the conclusion that there are other
better places TO live than in Hutch
lnSOn. However lie may change his
mind after he tries it a while.

EVANS REPORT.
Export Engineer Reports TO tho City Council
Monday NlGht...vAluo Of Plant, s26Lo0O.0O

Engineer Evans, who was agreed
upon by the city council and the
water works to appralse their plant,
made his report to the council on
Monday night, He had detailed
statement Of everything about the
works In the way Of material and had
been over the books Of the company
30 rs to tell their earnings as well.
The value Of the material In the plant
he estimates at $267. 10000 In round
numbers. This he figured on the ba-
sis of what the material would cost
laid down here to duplicate the plant,
after allowing $1,000 for deterlora-
tlon by age, wear, etc. 1t did not
include anything for cost of construc-
tion, orputting the material together
and getting 1t in running order. BY
quite authentic reports 1t has been
learned that the company, six or
seven years ago, for its own satlsfac-
tion, employed an engineer to make
an appraisement, and his figures
were then $2l2,OO0,0O. Considering
the remarkable appreciation in the
price Of all such material, as well as
in almost all other things, during the
last few years, this does not seem at
all unreasonable. In fact II Is not
far from what the members of the
council had made up their minds was
about the value Of the plant,
But Mr.. Evans had little ad-
dendum to his report that contains the
meat in the cocoanut, He said II he
were to make a report on the earning
power OF the plant as he would II max
ing report for prospective purchas-
ers, II he were to give them the figure
ut which they might buy and safely
expect a reasonable profit on the in
vestment, he would add 800, 10000 to
the price given above, This then, of
course represents the value OF the
franchise. Here, no doubt Is where
will come the hitch in the negotia-
tions for the purchase by the city.
From expressions Of the councilmen,
the city will not be willing to pay for
the franchise. The company will
probably want the city to pay them
$l00, 100000 now for what VISA given
them twelve or fifteen years ago, and
which they have been earning money
on all these years. II the water COM
pany feels sure that its contract Is
valid and will stand test in the courts,
IL Is certain to want this amount Of
pay for the franchise. If it is afraid
its contract is not valid, 1t may be
induced to take less. The opinion Is
that the council will probably make
an offer Of say $780, 900 conditioned of
course upon the ratification Of the
deal by the people at a special .elec-
tion. The Engineers report showed
the plant to be n good one, in good
physical condition. There are two or
three antiquated dynamoS, and the
gas part is not up to the best, but the
rest Is first class. He reports also
that the present management is not
making the plant earn what it might.
