A revenue cutter will carry them to
Skagway. From there they will travel
overland to Dawson and Circle City. At
the latter place they will board special
steamer and go down the Yukon river to
the ocean and st. Michaeps. From st.
Michael's they will 60 to Nome. Re,
turning they will visit some of the
Aleutian islands and then go up to
Valdes and the Copper river country.
In all they will travel about 5000 miles
and will be gone about two months.
With the best of accommodations as
they will surely have, it is going to be
delightful and interesting trip. Most
anyone would be willing to be U. s.
Senator under such conditions. Deer

THIS meddling with taxation without
knowledge is dangerous and costly ex-
pertinent Tax reform is more needed
now than ever; but it is also more diff
cult of accomplishment. Every act in
tended to reform taxation has only, so
far as now appears muddled things al
ready bad enough. The mortgage taxa
ton law may serve as a sample. The
result of this law will be, evidently, that
fewer mortgages than ever will be taxed;
that litigation will be promoted; that
the mortgagor will pay the taxes which
it was expected to transfer to the mort
gagee, and all this at world of trouble
to all concerned. Those mortgages
which may be taxed will be those of such
persons as can i'll bear the burden, and
those who have little and are not skilled
in self-defense and avoid legal require
ments. The tax commission, after long
investigation, recommended that all
credits be exempted from taxation. This
would be easy, definite, fair, and equal
on all men. The hot headed profession
al refOrmer thought he knew better, and
see what he has done for the state. The
attempt to tax this particular form of
credit, selected from other forms by
prejudice, has utterly failed. It's end is
in plain ight.-MilWaukee Journal.

An Oh Powder Horn.

Charles Gardiner, of Greenport, sent
by mail, to his nephew, William Gardi-
ner OF Porter, Wis, powder horn which
has been in the Gardiner family since
before the revolutionary war. In that
war it was carried by Mr.. Gardeners
grandfather, Joseph Gardiner. At the
time of the War of 1912 Joseph Gardi-
ner was still alive, but very old man.
He lived just west of Manor Hill, Mat
tituck, and Charles Gardiner says that
in spite of the family the old man took
up his musket when the British were
discovered approaching the hill, and
went out to meet them. He fired one
shot and was then quickly killed by sew
eral shots from the British soldiers His
body was buried where it fell. The spot
is but a short distance from the yard Of
Seth Tuthill, in Mattituck Charles
Gardiner says ne can remember we'll of
playing around his grandfather's grave
and still remembers where it is. Mr..
Gardiner also has pair Of clam tongs
which have been in the possession of the
Gardiner family over one hundred years,
and those too he will send out to his
Wisconsin relative, as the previous own
er of them admonished the descendants
never to allow the two relics to leave the

able man and is peculiarly equipped

troll the destinies of Howard Univers1-
ty-the gift of the Government for
the higher education of young colored

field of labor a ripe experience and
full knowledge of the work and the
possibilities of this great school. He
is optimistic on the Negro question
and entertainS great hopes for the fu-
ture of the race in America. He re
signed the Presidency of Tabor Col
lege, Tabor. Iowa, to accept the Presi-
dency of Howard University because
he believed that the really great work
of Howard is yet to be done. He
brings new life, new ideas and new
energies to his new field Of labor
He believes in the education Of the
head and heart and hands, and takes
no part in the antagOnisms between
higher and industrial education. He is
in full sympathy with the purposes
of Howard, and will endeavor to eX-
tend its influence to every part and
section of this country, as we'll as TO
all of our new possessions in the ISL
ands of the sea. He is pleased at the
great good accomplished by the several
adiuncts of Howard-the Theological,

ALLEGED FOOT RACERS.
Webb City Graft Doesn't Work at
Medicine Lodge.


Medicine Lodge, Aug. An. P. Gun
nell and George Decker, Ell Paso, Tex,
are two names that appear on the
Grand hotel register. There is nothing
extraordinary about the inscriptions,
but later Developments surrounded the
autographs of the two individuals with
considera BILE interest.
George Decker turned out to be Geo.
Kemp, who used to live here, and just
why he should register under an as
sumed name in a town where he is well
known is not yet apparent.
1t turned out that their alleged graft
was the OLD foot racing scheme which
has got so many into trouble over at
Webb City, Mo. They knew where a
race could be. matched away out in
Montana where a mint of money could
be won. 1t was an absolute cinch and
all you had to do was to put few hun
bred dollars as an evidence of good
faith to share in the big profits. The
people out in Montana were crazy to
back their man up to $4,000 or $40 900.
and their man was willing to throw the
race and share the wealth with Gunnell,
Kemp (alias Decker) and some man
from Medicine Lodge who could deposit
So 900 or $4,000 in a Montana bank just
to show good faith. And they claimed
to have letters to prove all this, but we
have not heard of any one here who saw
the letters. Gunneil was the man who
was to run the race with the Montana
Splinter. This made it a double cinch-
Notwithstanding these a1lurementS they
caught no one so far as is known.

Residents Of LinWOOd at War
Among Themselves.
The Moving Of the ToWnsite Is
Responsible.
A POSTOFFICE FIGHT.
Some Who Did Not Suffer by
Flood Would Stay.
Others Want to Get Their
Homes Higher Up.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 4.-The town
Of Linwood suffered from the Kaw river
Hood and now the residents of the town
are at war among themselves. regarding
the moving of the townsite. A number

DESTROYS Of moving the business portion
OF the town to a portion of the old Har-
Tis farm and a number of them have
done so, while those who, did not suffer
very much from the ravages of the
water can see no reason for moving the
business portion of the city.
Now the two factions are at outs. The
mayor and several of the councilmen
have moved their places of business to
the new district which, it is hoped, will
be above the high water mark and those
who live in the old section who were
not bothered very much by the water
claim that they are unable to have the
debris cleaned out of the streets or any
other work done.
The main and burning question seems
TO be the one regarding the moving of
the postoffice. Both sides wish it and
it does not look as if the postoftice de-
partment cares to run two pOStOff1ceS
there for the benefit of the patrons.
The farmers in the vicinity of Linwood
who were in LeaVenWorth Saturday

small amounts of corn, sufficient to
keep their stock through the winter and

It did look that way, but the last rain,
