MAY BE MOVED WEST.
Dodge City Hopes to Get New Santa
Fe Train Crews.

Dodge City, Kan, Nov. 4.-There has
been a rumor af1oat the past week that
the Santa Fe would move it's east end
chain gang to Dodge City and that the
men between La Junta and Newton
would have runs from Dodge City east
as well as west. Nothing regarding the
matter could be learned at the division
offices here. The best report that could
be obtained from the trainmaster's office
here was that they did not know and
would not tell if they did" The only
thing that gives any weight to the re-
port is that some of the east end men
have been expecting to be moved here.
This may not mean anything however.
For some time it has been necessary to
send west end crews over the east end.
The east end fellows protest against this
and they have probably had it intimated
to them that they would be required to
move to Dodge City SO they could be
sent out from here. Some of the men
own homes down the road and the pros
pect of being moved would have a ten
dency TO stop their kicking on the way
the division officers handle them.

DANDELION.
No More Successful Plant and None
More Wonderful

Perhaps none of our plants is more
common or more familiar than the
dandelion. and certainly none is more
wonderful First of all, it is not a ma
tive, but was introduced from Europe
whence have come many of our worst
weeds, fitted by centuries of struggle in
cultivated fields to overcome the native
plants of continent where cultivation
had previously been practically I'M
known, and where natives had had no
opportunity of adapting themselves to
the conditions of civilized agriculture.
One of the dandelion's strongest points
is the ability to obtain nourishment I'M
der strong competition and in unfavor-
able situations. A deep, strong paren-
NAL tap root draws all available 3our-
ishment and moisture from surface and
SubsoiI stores nourishment during the
winter and enables the plant to start
far and away ahead of most of its conf
petitors. The dandelion blossom is one
of the very first to appear in the fields
and parks of New York city. This sane
tap root is exceedingly bitter, which
very likely protects it from destruction
by moles and other animals At Last
do not remember having seen a root
that had been disturbed by animals Of
any k;=ld
But only small portion of it's food
comes from the soil. Air and sunshine
are just as necessary, for the air is food
and the sunshine is digestion for our
vegetable neighborS- Note the shape of
the leaves: narrow at the base and
widening at the outer end, they form
dense rosette that not only gets for
the dandelion all the air and sunshine
coming its way, but smothers all but
| the most sturdy competitors. Here lies
the secret. of the dande1ion's presence in
lawns ana walks and open waste
| places. In lawns the grass is kept low,
so that it cannot overtop and shade the
dandelion. while its own leaves lie Sc
4 low and close that they are little hurt
/ by the mower and can smother the
grass derneath.-EIarper' Magazine

we remembered that the engine that had

the run to Colorado City. Our surprise
at finding that there had been no one
hurt in the wreck that we found there
was equaled only by our surprise at be-
ing alive ourselves
The main reason for the cause of the
wreck brought out in the investigation
was that the train was composed of so
many foreign cars with low braking
power. An explanation of this is that
the braking power of the foreign cars
is only from 40 to so per cent and that
of the home cars is from 70 to 80 per
cent, the differences being due to the
fact that foreign cars. as rule, have
comparatively level roadbeds to travel
over. while the home cars are adapted
to the steep curving tracks of the noun

! A continental hotel keeper, says a

Victoria had been staying at certain
hotel, wealthy American called on the
proprietor and signified his desire to

What would it cost?
The hotel proprietor was equal to the
occasion. He thought it could be ar
ranged for 920. A bargain was struck
on these terms. The millionaire duly
arrived, and retired to the royal couch.
No doubt he thoroughly enjoyed his
nights rest, and the prospect of subse-

Calico made SimpIicio quote it as an

offense of which Calico was guilty. It
was not for upholding the theory that

Urban himself had supported the

and as pope.
