HAS BUSINESS RIGHTS
Mrs. DOwner objects 10 Interference
with Eer = fairs

Mrs. r. a. DOwner. who sells soap in
Wichita, is very much annoyed over the
interference of other people IN her bus
mess. 1t seems that some good people
have taken it upon themselves to have
the Old lady publicly provided for-as a
charity-and TO this she objects and for
the excellent reason, as she says, that
she is amply able to take care of herself
1t appears that Mrs Downer has been
making her own living for more than
forty years-it has become her natural
happiness to work-and TO take her away
from the occupation that is her second
nature would be cruel She asks no one
for charity. she gives value received for
everything she gets. she pays her bills
and she naturally and honestly inquiries
why she hasn't the constitutional right
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. She doesn't Ike this unwarranted
interference with her business.
Insure your health in Prickly Ash Bit
tiers. Il regulates the system. promotes
good appetite, sound sleep and cheerful
spirits.

WAS A NOTED CHARACTER
William Morgan Died at 81, Francis
Hospital Tuesday.

William J. Morgan, one of the most
noted characters of the southwest. died
at the St Francis hospital Tuesday
morning from bullet wound received
nearly four months ago in a saloon row
in Hobart, 0. T. Mr.. Morgan came TO
Kansas in 1873 and settled in Arkansas
City, where he conducted several places
Of rather i'll repute. He was gradually
driven out of business by the encroach-
ment of civilization until finally he
could no longer conduct his business in
Arkansas City, so he moved TO Hobart.
A few years ago the coroner's jury
returned a verdict against him and others
for killing a man near Arkansas City and
hiding the body in a straw stack. but
owing to lack of proof he was never
prosecuted. The bullet that ended his
life entered in the leg below the hip and
glanced upward. Monday evening the
attending physicians told him they would
have to cut of the leg and that he had
very few chances of living. The man
was given chloroform. but a few mo-
ments after the operation he was dead.

HIS DAUGHTER FOR HIS WHEAT
Pratt County Farmer Gave Her to
harvester

Yesterday the following story came to
this city from Pratt.
James Woolsey has succeeded in hav-
ing his 500 acres OF wheat cut before
the yellow grain could grow musty, but
it cost him his daughter. He gave her
as prize to the young harvester doing
the greatest amount of work in a spec
flied time. Willis Roadway. a young
mechanic from illinois, won, and he
and Anna Woolsey were married at
Pratt Monday.
The Woolsey farm is one of the largest
in Pratt county, and the scarcity of
harvest workers in that section weighed
heavily upon the farmers mind. His
wheat grew dead ripe. and there was no
one TO help him cut it. Then he devised
upon offering SIS a bride to the harvest
worker his 19-year-old daughter.
The men came by the score. She was
given the privilege of rejecting any Of
the contestants whom she personally dis
liked, and many were thus ruled out.
The contest was spirited. It lasted
three days, during which tine Rodp ~.
working ten hours a day cut 100 acres.
and wore out three good teams.

JUNK DEALER
I'M PLICATED
Y. K. Goldman Arrested on a
Serious Charge.
BUYING STOLEN PROPERTY
And Failing to Keep a Record
of His Transactions.

BY the confessions of Carl Elliott and
Charles Johnson, the two boys arrested
by the police Tuesday for stealing brass
fittings. V. K. Goldman. who owns the
Junk shop back of the Mccormick Har-
vester company's building, was arrested
on the charge of failing TO keep rec
ord Of the goods he purchased from
minors. He gave bond for his appear
ance this afternoon in police court.
Goldman, according TO the two boys.
has for a long time been buying brass
castings and old iron from boys. There
is an ordinance on the city statute books
which says that all second hand goods
dealers and all junk shop owners must
keep a record of all transactions they
have with minors. and this record is
turned into the police station. The city
furnishes blanks for the men TO keep
this record on. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Goldman failed 10 keep this record and
purchased property when he knew it was
stolen, and if the evidence is forthcom-
ing he can be made to pay q heavy fine
and may also have TO serve a jail SEN
tence for quite a little time BY tho
confessions Of the two boys, several
other lads viii be brought up in police
court to show that Mr.. Goldmon did not
try TO keep a record of his purchases
and many times did not even ask the
boys their names or where they got the
goods they had for sale.
For a long time the police have been
troubled by boys stealing brass fittings
from engines. Sometimes they found
them in the junk shops. but the keepers
OF the shops had no records of whom
they purchased the property from and
all the officers could do was to return
the stolen goods. The ordinance was
passed to stop this traffic. as it was
found that most of the business was
done by boys, but even now the Ordi-
nance is violated and the officers intend
making an example of Mr.. Goldmon,
and they will also work up every case
of failure TO keep a record and they
promise to make it interesting for those
who do not keep a record.

26 BUSHELS
PER ACRE
Was the Yield of Joe POrterS
Soft Wheat.
WAS THRESHED TUESDAY
Yield This Year Was Larger
Than That of Last Year.
WAS THRESHED TUESDAY

Mr.. Joe Porter. one Of the best known
farmers and stockmen of southern Kan
sas. was in the city yesterday and re
ported that on the 18th and 18th Of this
month he cut fifty acres Of May or soft
wheat and on Tuesday and Wednesday
threshed his crop The wheat made
twenty-six bushels TO the acre and was
OF the finest quality and tested 81 pounds
The grains were plump and Of good color
and the heads were wen filed. The
straw was not so very long, but Of
sufficient length to be easily harvested
Mr.. Porter has lived in Kansas a good
many years. and near Towanda the
greater part Of that time. He feeds a
large number of cattle every year and
is often about the stock yards with 4
load Of his steers. He owns large
farm and raises many hundreds Of bush
els Of wheat and corn e7eery year.
This year he raised the heaviest crop
of wheat he ever produced. Last year
his soft wheat made twenty-five bushels
per acre and the season Of 1901 was the
banner wheat year Of Kansas, while this
year his wheat field produced twenty
six bushels per acre and it is reported
that Kansas viii produce not more than
50 per cent Of last years crop, but the
yield reported yesterday would tend TO
niscredit that report. Most Of the farm
ers of southern Kansas think the esti-
mates placed on the yield this year were
Gar too low They say that the crop
VIII not be as large as it was last year,
but there viii be considerable more than
half crop
Mr. / n. Dean returned from Pratt
county the first of the week and he
stated to a reporter for the Eagle that
Pratt county never had harvested as
= large a wheat crop as It win this year.
The straw is of good length, the heads
are extra large and well filed and the
grains are plump and of the finest color.
Mr.. Dean stated that he believed that
the reason for Pratt countys large yield
was that it was low, level ground and
that the wheat was not frozen out dur
ing the winter as it was on the rolling
ground.
II warm weather makes you feel weary

fore the hot weather arrives; It viii put
