reported the accident walked seven

The wreck occurred at a remote point

a personal enemy of mine. Not having
the courage to attack me face to face,
he took advantage of my absence to
thrust me in the back. In addition to
this, there was an Interior purpose to,
accomplish by the story and / am go
ing home to thwart it. However that is
a municipal matter and will hardly be
of interest to any but the people of
Leavenworth.
Il resigned the editorship of the
Chronicle Tribune because the paper
was sold Saturday afternoon to D. r.
Anthony and refused to humiliate my
self by being compelled to associate
with a man whom / had successfully
fought for over IA months. George w
Kierstead, one of the owners of the
Chronicle Tribune, informed me of the
deal Saturday night. He told me that
the terms of the deal had been SO ar
ranged that the Chronicle-Tribune was
to continue usual until after the
spring city election, in order to ac-
complish private purpose, after which
AnIhony would assume possession and
consolidate it with his Evening Stand
ard. The whole thing was obnoxious
to me and | promptly told him 1
would resign. All day Sunday l told
my friends of my resignation and told
them of my intention of starting down
to Granite, Okla. that evening. There
was nothing unusual in my departure.
1t was simply a matter of business. 1
had no business holding me in Leaven-
worth any longer and 1 did have bust
ness matters calling me to Oklahoma.
l accordingly went. as I propose to do
again in the near future.
Il did not advise my employees to
resign with me and had no idea they
would or had done SO until 1 reached
Granite Upon stepping from the train,
was handed a telegram which, after
stating the surprising facts, concluded,
you have been too loyal and kind to
us for us to think of remaining and

evenly distributed, preventing an over
supply in some localities with a short
age in others.
IF the plan am proposing is adopt
ed by the assessors from year to year,
and permanent bureau to handle the
movement is established in Topeka, the
harvest hand problem will be solved,
and the grain growers interests fully
protected in this particular, but as
things are now, the question is a serious
one. While had matters well in hand
in Pratt county last season, and had an
acknowledgment of about the number
OF extra men and teams needed, and
had arrangements made for the help,
yet they had to come through counties
where no men and teams had been ar
ranged for, and many that expected
were picked up on their way by the
gram growers of other counties and
put into their harvest fields, which COM
PEELED me to seek others. Again, when
men were en- route to Pratt, on the rail-
roads, which 1 had arranged for, the
1arnefs or other counties would go into
the train and offer higher wages than
the men We're promised here, and, of
course, they got the men.
For instance, one day l had sixty
men leave Kansas City for Pratt by
the way of Wichita, but before the train
bringing them reached the first station
in Pratt county not man was left,
therefore it is apparent that an organic
alton should be perfected, covering the
entire wheat belt. so that a sufficient
number of men and teams can be ar
ranged Tor before harvest begins, that
all parties may be thoroughly protected,
and that when men are sent to certain
points, and expected, by the grain
growers, that they may be permitted
to go through to their destination with
out interference, as such delays, or
change of programme, is very annoying
and liable to be expensive to the wait
ing farmer.
In my opinion, if the plan I am
suggesting, is carried out in all the
counties of the wheat belt, that while
it may not thoroughly eliminate our
difficulties. yet it will certainly be a
move in the right direction, and will
largely relieve the trouble we have ex-
perienced in the past.
1T is likely that the states free labor
employment bureau will be given charge
of the movement, if the state law gov
erning it will permit the establishing of
local agencies to obtain men and teams
from outside the state, but if not, it
may be necessary to adopt some other
plan"

him. Fortunately the other passengers
were not affected by this mans pitiable
mental agony but were quietly and
methodicaly marshalled into the boats
DARK AND COLD.
THE experience in the small boats
was trying on account of the darkness
and cold. We did not know exactly
where we were and for a long time
could not discover the whereabouts of
the Harmonides, though she was near
by The boats stood well away from
the sinking Waesland, for fear of being
sucked down and we could hear the
Tending and tearing of her timbers, IS
she seemed to break in two. Then there
was a terrible explosion, as the boilers
blew up and all was over.
We drifted and rowed for seemingly
two to three hours. when we finally got
in touch with the Harmonides. We had
no difficulty in getting on board All
our effects went to the bottom with the
Waesland
'The collision was terrific alike in the
suddenness of the shock and in the
ton and we think we were most fortu-
nate in escaping as we did"
WORE SEVEN LIFE BELTS.
p; r. Ferguson. salon passenger segs who rho
Waesland when she cOllided with a
schooner not far from Philadelphia,
says the principal excitement took the
form of rushing for life belts. He saw
a man who had seven life belts attached
to various parts of his body.
As the last boat in which Mr.. Fergu-
son was seated was leaving the ships
side. cries for help We're heard on board
of her and the boat returned and found
that two of the Waesland's crew had
been left behind One of these men had
slept throughout the first impact to the
last boat leaving the sinking steamer
and only discovered his perilous posi-
ton when the sea water flooded his
bunk through the port holes
DIR. f. H Shelmerdine of Philadelphia
who with his wife was a passenger on
board the Waesland, attributes the acct
dent on the life boat to Dangerfield at
tempting to spring on board thereby
breaking his own neck and causing the
death of Elsie Emmett. DIR. Shelmer-
dine lost his valuable Instruments and
jewelry- He says Captain Apfeld of the
Waesland had on board his So years
savings in specie; but he would
not attempt to leave the
bridge to fetch the money
until all the passengers were safely in
the boats then it was too late to go be-
low and the money was lost Mrs Hen
son. of Chicago. a widow was a con-
siderable loser by the sinking of the
Waesland.
The two sons of Dangerfield, who was
killed in one of the life boats. returned
to Kansas three weeks ago.
