Deep Impression in Berlin.

Berlin. Aug. 5.-The election of Sar.
to made a deep impression here. In
all sections the press regards the choice
as wise, praise Sarto's conciliatory
character and emphasize the belief
that he will be a religious rather than
a political pope.
The Tageblatt fears the selection of
the name Plus augurs i'll for the new
pope's attitude towards the foreign
governments and indicates an intran-
sigent policy towards the Italian mon
archy,
The Post assumes Sarto'S previous
moderate and peaceable character may
be taken as guarantee that the COM
ing policy of the vatican will be tenn
perate and Conciliatory.

preston in Sacred College.

Rome, Aug. 5.-Au the members ~
the sacred college declared they were
well satisfied with the election OF
Sarto but the anti-Rampolla members
consider it their special victory.
On the first ballot Sarto had but
four votes but gradually gained unit!
Monday afternoon, when he had 81
votes, within of the necessary two
thirds. When the result of this ballot
was announced III the conclaye Sarto
was SO overcome with emotion that he
could no longer control his feelings
and to the surprise of all he broke
down, declaring such responsibility
and honor were not for him and that
he must refuse it ii offered. Tears
rolled down his checks and he seemed
firm in his determination to refuse the
dignity.
He was so palpably sincere that cor
sternaton reigned in the concIave
and the cardinals spent the whole
evening and far into the night coH-
yincing him that his election was the
will of providence ard that he must
accept Several times he almost
tainted and had to be revived by the

candidates had retired and on III

Election Unanimous.

Election of the patriarch of Venice
was unanimous, After Mondays bal.
lots it was a foregone conclusion that
he was the only candidate sufficiently
acceptable to all TO secure the neces-
sary two-thrds, which the laws of the
church require. One of the cardinals
said to the Associated Press last night
that he believed Plus \ would follow
the broad lines of Leo's policy, al
though net likely to accentuate it, This
voices the general feeling here, which
is one Of satisfaction.

Man of Simple Origin.

The new pontiff is a man of simple
origin and although not a very prom
inent candidate, had Leen frequently
mentioned as one of the many card
mails who might be taken up as com
promise. In several respects he re-
eemblcs his venerable predecessor,
notably in his reputation for culture
and piety. Having been associated
with no factions, this fact alone won
him much favor from the foreign car
dfnals who were without an especial

any change in the vatican policy. He
will continue to remain shut up, a

Repute.
G. Le6tte, a Frenchman, who has
been living at the house of III fame, was
arrested by Sheriff Bradley Saturday
upon complaint of County Attorney
Murphy.
The action under which he was
brought was vagrancy, but the purpose
of the action was to free the town of
such Improbable material. Police
Judge Leonard being laid up with
rheumatism, Lefitte was arraigned be-
fore Justice Of the Peace Coleman He
was found guilty and the sentence was
that he should Immediately sever his
connections, which he agreed to do. he
was also fined 81.
Le6tte was a smart young fellow
about 50 years old. The card he carried

same Thing Done for That Town a. for
District No 1, GOOdIand-
The board Of county commissioners Of
Rawlins county recently granted the
petition Of the council Of the city Of
Atwood asking to have the city limits
extended so as to include the B. & ".
depot and railroad yards. The depot
and railroad yards were formerly q part
Of the city Of Atwood but an action was
brought IN the district court in 1902 to
set that part out Of the corporate limits
Of the town, which was done. The road
does a good business at Atwood, and the
city council thought it no more than
right that they help defrsy the running
expenses Of the city.
A special law was passed by the legis-
lsture at the last session, which enlarged
the territory Of district No. 1, by adding
to it part Of the territory from district
No. 8 and No. Al
AS a rule the towns IN western Kansas,
and in some cases the school districts Of
the city, are loaded down with debt aud
accommodating expenses. Consolidating
and taking in more territory seems 10 be
the only way out.

Both to Do Violence.

c. E. White. Of Grant township, was
in GOodland Saturday and swore out a
complaint against Philip Nickel, a
neighbOr, whom he claimed had recent
" and at other times threatened 70 kill
him. Perhaps White would not have
made complaint against Nickel If the
latter had not hOurished a gun rather
recklessly last week and let 60 a charge
or two in the presence Of his neighbOr.
Nickel was brought IN Monday, plead
guilty to the charge and was bound over
to the July term of the district court,
under bond Of 800. Nickel secured
signers for the amount Of the bond and
was released.
White was in GoOdland the same day
and as soon as NickeTs trial vas over he
had White arrested on the same charge
as was made against him. White waived
examination. plead not guilty and was
bound over 10 the July term Of the
district court under bond Of 800. He
secured bail and both men returned TO
their homes.
The quarrel grew out Of the use Of
gates and the lines Of fence along their
farms as their lands Join.

RAILROAD MEN TREATEDBETTER

Prompt and just Trials Have Been
Granted in Late Years
Many complaints have reached the
state department charging that Amer
lean railroad men have been badly
treated in Mexico as the result Of the
rigid application Of the laws Furnishing
persons concerned in an accident. Some
time ago an investigation was begun by
the state department, the result of which
is shown in the following report from
Consul General Hanna, at Mexico City:
"Our ambassador to Mexico some time
ago asked me to make careful inquiry
and investigate concerning the impris-
Onment, prompt trials and Just treat
ment Of American railroad men, con
nected with railroads within the juris-
dictiOn Of this consulate general, which
embraces about three-6fths Of the terri
tory of the entire Mexican republic.
81 have caused a careful investigation
TO be made and I find that there are
now no American railroad men impris-
oned for mishaps or accidents in oPerat-
ing trains and there have been few cases
within the last two years. In almost
every case of arrest within this iurisdic-
tiOn in the last two years prompt and just
trials have been granted and in no case
do find that such a serious condition
and seeming unjust hardship remains as
used to be reported in the newspapers a
| few years ago.
81 have talked with American con-
ductors, engineers and train operators
and they inform me that, as a rule, they
are we'll treated, their rights respected
and, excepting in a very few cases,
prompt trials and fair, unpreiudiced
treatment has been given them by the
/ Mexican courts"
