The benefit game of ball between
the Masons and Elks at Association
park Saturday afternoon resulted
In decisive victory for the latter.

tended and expected to be amused
by the unprofessional work of the
teams. The opening for ridicule
was not given, however. The frats
played fast ball from start to finish
and kept the fans In wonderland.
Fitsgerald and T. Bell were the
battery for the Elks and Neal and
Gruber and Wallace for the Ma
sons. "Tobe" Hart umpired the
game. The association realized
about $3.50 from the game, an
amoun. sufficient to liquidate It's

This will enable the people
who have houses on this land to

so they will improve their houses

There Is nothing startling to re-
port about our Electric railroad
today. Mr. Watkins and Mr.. Mil

us that on and after this date their
postofhce will be Padens Valley.
Mr. Watkins Is making plans to
have a bank started at Padens Val

need bank to take care of the
business. They propose to loan
money to lot purchasers to assist
them In building homes on their
lots and to do THIS they will need a
bank. They have advertised In all
the trade journals that they will
give free site to manufacturing
plants, cheap fuel and loan the
company all they reed to start In

curity.

COMPLAINT FILED
AGAINST SANTA L
Nc Pherson and SaIina Want
Better Rates.
GOOD RATE DENIED THEM
No Action Taken by the Board
as Yet.

Topeka, Kan. May duplication mas
been made to the state board Of railroad
commissioners for an order compelling the
Santa Fe to extend its jobbing rates on
lumber to Mcpherson and Salina. These
towns now have general jobbing rates
but the Santa Fe refuse to extend the
rates to cover lumber The complaint
against the road has been filed by the
Ledigh & Havens Lumber company of
Kansas City, Mo-. which maintains
branches at Mcpherson and Salina.
Mcpherson and Salina have the same
jobbing rates as Winfield Wichita and
Wellington and a number of other towns
in central Kansas. 1t is alleged that job
bling rates on lumber are given Wichita,
Winfield and Wellington but denied the
other towns. AS the contract for rates IS
the same with all the towns is is claimed
no good reason can be given for excluding
it from others.
The board has as yet taken no formal
action on the matter, but it is understood
has minated to the Santa Fe that is is
its opinion jobbing rates should be allowed
all towns operating under the same job
bing rate contract and that no discrimina-
ton should be made. Should the Santa Fe
not give Mcpherson and Salina the rates
on lumber asked it is possible that an
order establishing the rates may be is
sued. The board, under the law passed by
the legislature two years ago establishing
it, was given authority to regulate rail
road rates

HIS OWN GAS.
Farmer Has Well to Supply His Own
Needs.

Arkansas City. May THE Traveller
says: The gas well drillers are trying to
plug up the well which has been aban-
doned by them and are having cOnsid-
cradle trouble in doing so. Yesterday
they cemented it over, but gas forced
the water out around the casing and
spoiled their work. This morning a sack
of wheat was put down about twenty feet
and then the cement and rocks were put
in on top OF it. Through all Of this runs
a small pipe, which is capped so that the
gas may be used if it is wanted. John
Hamilton, the man who owns the land,
says that he will pipe the gas to his
house and will use it for his own pur
poses. He claims there is more gas there
there than he can possibly use and that
he will have enough to light and heat
every room in his house. If that is done
Mr.. Hamilton will enjoy the distinction
of being the first and for a while the
only man in the city who uses natural
gas from his own well.
