notice in your paper the nomination
of "a party ticket for primary contest
and hear on the street talk of the same
man for Mayor.
With no personal feeling in the mat
ter for or against anybody named on
that ticket, do want to assure you and
all friends of the enterprise to increase
our water supply that just as $"r" as you
elect the man for Mayor named on that
ticket, so sure wW he SIj,NIO-bond pro-
pOsm 90 do"H!
If you don't believe this, look at your
paper of June 3, 1900, where it is said
the defeat Of the $l0,O00-bond proposal
for that year by nearly I to was due
to a want of confidence i'll the Mayor
and Council
Now, if the people would not then
trust that body with the expenditure of
$l0,OO0. what right have we to expect
they will give them $lj, 900 now?
While Peter Lammert is not my first
choice, it cannot be gainsaid that he
knows more about the water system
than anybody who has been named, and
in IA financial way nothing will 60 wrong
under him.
The three Councilman holding over
are in favor of increasing the supply
and improving the system, and as the
taxpayers probably look more to man S
fitness for office than to his politics, l
think Mr.. Lammert is the better candi-
date for Mayor. MORE WATER.

KANSAS WAR FEARED
The Cattle Men and the Settlers Clash
ing in the Northwest

Topeka, April 26. Western Kansas
settlers and ranchmen are organizing
and arming themselves in preparation
for far over grass privileges. Chaun-
cey Dewey, a son of c. p. Dewey, the
Chicago capitalist, is directing the
war for the ranchmen. Opposed to him
is Frank Rockefeller, the Standard Oil
magnate, and the settlers. The war
has been smouldering for more than a
year and bloodshed is feared. The
governor has been notified that the
state MALTA may be needed at any
time to preserve order.
The ranchmen have gradually en-
croached on the settlers until only
few farmers remain in the counties of
Rawlins, Sherman and Cheyenne.
Many settlers have refused to sell
their land and the ranchmen are fenc-
ing these farms in with their big
ranches. Frank Rockefeller owns a
10000 acre farm in Rawlins county
and this has been fenced in with the
Dewey ranch.

SOUTHERN KANSAS WET
A Drenching Rain is Reported From
Arkansas City.

Arkansas City, Kas., April 27-The
southern part of Kansas received a
drenching this morning and it will be
of great benefit to the growing crops.
The wind of the last few days soon
dried out the ground from the rain of
last week and the one today replaced
all the moisture. The grass has a
good start and the stock is moving
from Texas points to the pastures in
the Kaw and Usage counties southeast
of here. There is plenty of feed and
water for all the cattle that can be
shipped in. The tanks hold good
supply of water and they will not suf'
fer for this in the very near future.

BLOCK SIGNAL SERVICE
The Milwaukee Route Testing New
Service.

Chicago, April 27,-The Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad Of
fcials are testing the new automatic
block signal service which will, it is
claimed, prevent collisions which are
due to engineers ignoring or mistak-
ing signals.
The mechanism is so arranged that
whenever an engineer passes into a
section that is blocked against him an
automatic device sets the air brakes
and stops the train.
The service is operated by a bat
terry of springs which are wound up by
the vibratory motion of the rails as
the engines and trains pass over them.
Accordingly there is no dependence
upon electricity, which is treacherous
in bad weather.
In a recent test train was run full
speed past block which was set at
danger" AS soon as the engine
entered the prohibited station there
was grinding of a shoe against the
wheels and the train came to a stop
before its length was scarcely within
the block station. Those who wit
messed the test declared that the SER
vice would revolutionize signal SER
vice and decrease accidents at least 40
per cent.
