Now that the election Is over, the
promoters of the good roads move
ment should wake up. The condition
of our roads since the recent rains Is
sufficient argument in favor of better
roads. Merchants and farmers should
get together on this important matter
and start the work before the snow is
on the ground and freezing weather
comes to hinder them. The cost of
good roads is a small item in compare
son to the ultimate benefits to both
merchants and farmers. f. j. Over
ing, Jr., president Of the Good Roads
Association, is recovering from his
recent severe illness and will o be
ready to again push the work, and

The prosperity of the farmer Is in
no way better shown than by the high
prices which are paid for stock and
farm machinery at public sales. This
is the season of the year when the
farmer who wishes to retire, or who
has a surplus of stock and implements,
resorts to the public sale method of
getting rid Of his property. This fall
all sales of this character have been
attended by eager buyers and prices
have ranged much higher than at pri-
vate sales. The record breaking crops
and the generous prices obtained
under Jul faultless protective tariff
system have put the farmer far above
the reach of the gaunt wolf of poverty.

Another Smith County Crime.

Monday evening another tragedy
WAS enacted in Smith county, Kansas,
in the Deighboibood where occurred
those crimes that have kept that u
ty in a state of turmoil for the past few
months. John Anshntz, a farmer and
II veteran of the civil war, was the vic
tim of the latest tragedy.
Mr.. Anshu,z drove to Lebanon Mon
day from his home, eight miles north
and a mile and a half west from that
town, for the purpose of drawing some
money from the bank and transacting
o,her business there. he left l., banon
for home late in the evening, and at
the time OF starting out he noticed a
party with a rig just ahead Of him. On
the drive hone in the dusk Of tie
evening he lost sight OF the team
which had preceded HIM TN the 4, al.

shouldered. He first inquired the dis.
lance To Red Cloud and then the dis.
lance to Lebanon. Mr.. Anshulz gave
the informant IN asked for and was
about to continue his journey home,
when the stranger covered him with a
revolver and demanded his money.
Mr.. Anshuiz, thinking the nan was
joking, laughingly agreed to divide
with him. The highwayman was in
earnest, however, and made another
demand for tho money. Mr.. Anshutz
hen handed yer his pocketbook. The
bishwayman inquired how much
money the pooketbook contained. and
Mr.. Ansbutz told him there was about
s25 in it. The highwayman told Mr..
Anshutz he knew he had more money |
than that, and demanded the balance

wound which may prove fatal.
When the shot was fired the team
started on a run toward home, but MIR.
Anshutz stopped them at a neighbours,
and from there he was taken home
and medical aid summoned. The au.
thOrities at Smith Center and Lebanon
were notified Of the hold.up, but Mr..
Anshu'z's description Of his assailant
was so mesger that 1t afforded no clue
to his identity. Two or three strangers
have been hanging around Lebanon
for several days past, but it seems 10
be the general opinion that the crime
was committed by someone who knew
Mr.. Anshu,z and was familiar with the
country surrounding Lebanon.

had been a long, hard march, and
| hey were hugry and tired. In spite
Of all that was behind and of what
might be ahead, their one thought was
of the meal whose savory odors were
issuing from the hastily improvised
mess quarters. The sun was not yet
down, but the shadows of the date
palms lay thick about their feet
They watched them listlessly, waiting
for the mess call, and then ready to
seek the low matched building where
they were to sleep. From the shad-
ows of the Same date palms a group
OF ragged, emaciated boys watched
them keenly. They, too, were mindful
of the odors that came from the mess
quarters, for they shifted eagerly, and
from time to time they whispered to
one another and pointed toward the
building or the officers Presently a
boy of nine or ten, with keen, snap
ping black eyes, stole to a palm tree
that was but few yards from where
the officers stood. In the shadow of
this he waited until his companions
had circled round to the shelter of a
clump of bamboos on the other side,
and very near to the entrance of the
mess quarters. There they paused. as
though for a signal
And it was not long coming. With
sudden wild whoop the boy with the
swapping eyes sprang forward into
the very midst of the officers, swing.
ing his arms and dancing about as
though he were mad. In an instant al
most, and before they had recovered
from the surprise of the unexpected
onslaught he had snatched a sword
from one of the scabbards and bound
ed away. At the same moment a cry
of CONSERVATION came from the mess
quarters.
But the officers did not notice that.
They were too amazed, too angry a.
the audacity of this ragamuffin, who
had stopped few yards away and was
now brandishing the sword defantly
In their very faces. With exclama-
tons of anger they sprang forward to
a man, and the ragamufHn, instead of
trying to escape, lodged this way and
that, under the outstretched arms Of
one, behind another and almost be- |
tween the legs of third, all the time
haunting them and daring them on.
He was like an eel that squirmed out |
of their hands even after they caught |
him; or flea that was anywhere ex-
cept where they thought it. Five |
minutes passed in exasperating dodg- |
ing and doubling before they succeed |
ed in dragging him back, struggling !
and grinning to the mess quarters. |
And 1t was not until afterward that |
1t occurred to them that he mad made |
no real effort to escape
AS the excitement of the chase and |
capture began to subside they noticed
