Gun Held by Earl Smith Ac-
cidentaIIy Discharged.
LOAD ENTERED HIS THROAT.
Highly Respected Young Man
OF Ford Meets Instant
and Terrible Death.

Earl Smith, son of n. J. Smith of Ford
was accidentally and instantly killed on
Saturday last. The young man has been
in the employ of the A. w. Smith monu-
ment works at Hutchinson travelling
representative and was home for a few
days vacation. He had started ont for
half days hunting with several compan-
ions when the accident occurred. Earl
and two others we're sitting on the front
seat of a surrey when he picked up his
gun to put it in position which would
make it less dangerous for those sitting
in the back seat. No one just how
the accident occurred but the gun. it ap-
pears, slipped from his hand, the ham
mer striking on the edge of the surrey or
the wheel. The gun was discharged and
as the puff of smoke cleared away, his
companions saw the blood flowing from
the young mans throat. The full charge
the others had realized what had hap
pened he was dead.
The affair was one of the saddest
things which has ever occurred in that
part of the county. Earl Smith still
under age, and young man of great
promise. The shock caused by his death
in this terrible form a hard one for
his family and friends to bear. He had
many friends in Dodge City who heard
the sad news with the deepest regret
He was for time clerk in Fitzger-
aid & Locke's store and was we'll
known here.
The funeral was held from the home iE
Ford on Sunday evening and was oc-
casion of sadness to all.

PROGRAM FOR
RACE MEETING.

The managers of the fair and driving
park association are arranging program
as an attraction here during the reunion.
The program will be given each day in
the afternoon at time when it will not
interfere with the reunion program and
will give variety to the occasion.
The fair association movement was
started too late to get date in the Ar
kansas Valley Circuit and it was deemed
advisable to postpone regular fair meet
ing until another year.
AS nearly everyone favored having a
race meeting of some kind, it was decided
to get up the program for reunion week.
The contract for a grand stand was let
last night to George Winans of this place
and the work will be done at once. The
race track will be put in condition and
there will be ample time to make all
arrangements for the meeting. Adver-
tising matter for the occasion is being
sent out and Will assist in drawing a large
crowd for reunion week. The program
will consist of quarter, three-eight, one
half and five-eighth mile running races,
trotting and pacing races, roping con-
tests, base ball games, bicycle races,
shooting tournament, mule races,
broncho busting etc. The first week of
September will be notable occasion in
Dodge City.

GREAT INDIAN EXHIBIT.
Congress of Red Men at the Worlds $
Fair VIII Include Represent
atives of Both Wild and
Civilized Tribes.

Much genuine sentiment is centered in
the Indian Bureaus preparations for an
exhibit at the coming Worlds Fair of
the representatives of the tribes of Amer
lean Indians. That the congress of real
red men at ST. Louis in 1904 will be the
largest and most comprehensive Indian
be the last exhibit of the kind the United
States government will attempt on a large
scale, seems to be generally understood at
Washington. 1t is therefore the Inten-
tion of the Indian Bureau to make it
complete as possible, and it has therefore
been planned on elaborate foundations
The exhibit will be representative of
the various types of this country's origi-
nal Inhabitants. 1t will be Independent
of other government exhibits and will be
enclosed in stockade, many of the
Indians placed on exhibition are govern
ment prisoners, and will be constantly
guarded. The noted Apache chief, Ger
onimo, now more than 20 years of age
who will be at St. Louis, is never per-
mitted to leave his reservation except
under guard. There will be Indian vii
lages presenting Indian customs and m ode
dances, snake dances, dog feasts, and
other incantations in which the Indians
appear in their gaudily decorated and
fantastic garbs will be presented more
actively and effectively than has been
attempted off the reservation. There
will also be sham battle and other ex-
| hibitions bearing resemblance to the
experiences of the early frontiersmen,
| including the council of VI, the mas
sacre and the pipe of peace.

AUTO MAIL CAR.
One Will Carry Mail and Passengers
From Hartland to Hugoton.

From HartIand to 7ugofon.
Joseph Bittiker, of Ulysses. Grant
county, was visitor in Dodge City yes
terday. Mr.. Bittiker is the man who has
been having large automobile built.
His machine is expected to take the place
of railroad between Hartland and Hug
oton. Mr.. Bittiker has the contract for
carrying the mail from Hartland to Hug
oton. 1t occurred to him that auto
mobile would be the proper thing for
covering the mail route. Carrying the
idea further he decided to have the
hickle made large enough to carry pas
sengers we'll. The machine was built
at Mcpherson during the past three weeks
and when a few Improvements are added
it will be through to Ulysses for
service.

Probably nothing written In years
has attracted 40 much attention and
varying comment as has the poem
written by Rudyard Kipling attacking
the stay-at-home Engllshmen. Here
is the poem In full from the London
Times, the paper in which it original
ly appeared:

Long did ye wake in quiet. and long lie
down at ease: . 90.

We stopped your ears to the warning -ye

Yc set your leisure before their toll, and
your lsts above their need
Because of your witless learning ana
your beasts of warren and chase
We ETudged your sons for their service
ana your fields Tor their camping
place.
We forced them to CLEAN in the highways
the straw for the bricks they
brought.
We forced them follow in byways the
craft that ye never taught
Ye hmdered and hampercd and crippled
ye thrust out of sight and away
Chose that would serve you for honor ana
those that served you for pay.
Then were the Judgments loosened then
was your shame revealed.
AT the hands OF little people, few but
apt In the field,
Yet ye were saved by remnant Cand
your lands long suffering star;
When your strong men cheered In thelt
millions while your stripplings went
TO the war.

Average Man walks Many Thousand
Miles Before His End.

mllos Before HIS End.
How many miles a man walks in his
lifetime depends, naturally, upon how
much he walks a day on the average
but the man who walks the least COW
dies. Some men walk two miles a day,
some four or five, and some as many
as ten. II a man walks two miles A
day and lives to be thirty years old he
Will cover 81 900 miles. At the same
age man who walks three miles a
day Will have walked $3.50 miles. AL
most every man walks between two
and three miles day just in going
about the house, the office, the shop,
and In going to and from the cars,
etc.
man who walks Ave miles a day
finds that at the age of 30 he has COW
cred 54,750 miles and at the age OF co.
1O9,500. From this should, strictly
speaking, be subtracted the few months
or year when he was a baby unable
to walk. but the result would not be
affected materially.
Now, the circumference of the earth
at the equator Is only 24,S99 miles. 50
therefore a man who at the age OF so
has averaged five miles day since he
was able to walk has walked enough
miles to have enclrcled the earth four
times ana have good many miles lsft

A Geographical Novelty.

The point where Utah, Colorado. Ari'
zona and New Mexico touch each other
Is called the four corners. This fact is
not a strange one, but when we come
to find that is the only place where
four states or territories point, we find
that this spot is in some ways a unique
one Not only is this the only place in
the United States where such juno
tion occurs, but 1t Is the only one of its
kind In the world. This statement
seems a broad one, but short study of
the maps of an atlas will show that 1t
is correct, and. more than that, that at
no other place in the United States do
more than two state corners touch each
other.
