Latest Kansas Events.
For Treatment of Inebriates.

Representative w. S. Finley, of
Franklin county, will try to get
law through the legislature provid-
ing for the treatment of inebriates.
Il think the Iowa topper law would
be good thing for Kansas to adopt"
said he. Confirmed inebriates
should be looked after. The Iowa
law has proven successful. Under it
the board of control of state insti-
tutions set aside a department in
each insane asylum for the detention
and treatment of dipsomaniacs, in
ebriates and persons addicted to the
use of morphine or other narcotics
While Kansas is prohibition state,
yet it has it's share of old topers. /
understand from druggists that the
consumption of morphine and other
narcotics is increasing rapidly.
Something should be done to stop it,

George Campbell, of Oswego, who
was state populist senator from La
bette county from 1896 to 1900, has
devised scheme to make a pot of
money if he can induce tho coming

antee of 10 per cent. of the increase

FEW "oCEAN GREYHoUNDs."
Only Twenty Ships With Authent'
Gated Records of 20 Knots.

From the New York Commercial.
How many merchant steamers are
there af1oat that are really entitled to
be called ocean greyhounds?" The
world hears so much about ocean
greyhounds that break the record and
OF the fierce competition to cut down
the time for crossing the Atlantic that
it may readily be pardoned If 1t thinks
steamers of more than 20-knot speed
far more numerous than they really
are.
A table-printed in the report of the
Commissioner of Navigation, compell-
ed from Lloyds Register of the date
of July 1, 1902 sought to disabuse the
public mind of it's error on this point.
This table takes cognizance of all
screw steamers in the world Of 1000
gross tons or more of 12-knot speed
and upward.
OF the 1928 steamers covered by the
compilation only 20 had authenticated
speed records of 20 knots and over.
OF these 20, Z were British, 5 Ger
man, American. 2 French and 2
Russian. Of the 1888 steamers. 460
were of IL knots, 1854 of 13 and 135 Of
IA. After passing IA knots the classes
rapidly diminish in number. Thus there
were put or ~ knOtS ana only IL OK
IS knots. Judging from this table, II
knots is regarded as the happy me-
dunn between speed and profit. for
there were 81 of this class. of which Q
were under the American flag.
From a table accompanying the one
referred to 1t is apparent that there are
few commercial inducements 10 build
very large steamers OF very high
speed. In the last two years there has
been but one addition 10 each OF the
2O-knot. I9-knot and 1s-knot classes,
whereas there were at the time the
enumeration was made (l902) 46 more
l2-knot steamers than there were in
1900 Classified by flags, Great Brit
ain owns more than One-half OF the
2,000-ton steamers IN the world, hav-
ing 6GA under her register. Germany
comes second. with l27; France third,
with il6 and the United States fourth,
with i0s. Japan IL a poor flfth, with 40.

struction for profit is 20 combine great

doubtless the finest grove of pecan
trees in Georgia, and when in full
bearing will be like a gold mine to

mated that he would get ten bushels
to the tree, which, at So a bushel
means $4,000. and in five years it is
