WILL HURT HUTCHINSON.
Harvey Eating House There May Be
Discontinued.

Newton thinks that there is a prob
ability that the Santa Fe Harvey house
at Hutchinson will be closed in a short
time.
The reason given for closing is that
the Harvey people tried to buy the
building so that they could remodel
and improve it, and that failing in this
they have decided to close the hotel and
with the new time card arrange for feed
ing passengers at the Harvey house in
Newton and Dodge City Sooner or
later it is almost inevitable that the
Hutchinson house win be closed It IS
not likely that the Harvey people will
maintain houses in Hutchinson, New

sent to congress a message vetoing- a
bill granting the Arizona Central rail-

says that the bill does not properly safe

of property in the reserve.
He also says there is a law which
would permit the railroad to cross a

garding her first appearance in the

words here is what she says of this in

land, and naturally felt a little nervous,
and I might add a tinge of homesick-
ness, for SO much depended upon this
my initial appearance before an English
audience. Incidentally at the end of the
first act, the ladies are meant to re-
ceive an arnful of fresh flowers fur
nished by the florist. AS the curtain
descended on the first act every lady on

An Enemy of the Constitution.

 No newspaper or correspondent prt- marily placed Mir Johnston on record as the enemy of the new Constitution. He himself is on record as Governor of Ala bama as opposed to a movement in that direction and after he ceased to be Gov ernor he has been in the front of the opposition to it's adoption, thereby seek ing to overthrow its aims and objects It is no secret that the Constitution aim ed first and last, to rid the ballot box of the negro and relieve us from such methods as were forced upon us for the protection of our homes and loved once. and give us control of a land owned, loved and ruled by those who have given their time talents. fortunes and lives for it's defense and development. To further the developed condition Of Alabama means that the white men of Alabama shall rule and that the negro must stay out of politics.
 Mir Johnston cant keep his bitter feel ing ont of his speeches Even while try ing like the South American vampire to keen his victim asleep by flaming him with his own wings this administration he silently sucks blood to satisfy his own personal grievance, which Is a hunger for yindication.
