French Millionaire Proposes t
Colonize Southern Negro.

New York, October 6.-The secret
Of NJ. Lebaudy's attempt to found
an empire in Africa is out, says a
Herald dispatch from London. The
Daily Mail asserts that the young
French millionaire, who IS now in
London on business, desires first to
obtain the consent Of the European
powers who claim to have influence
over the territory on which he has
designs, to establish along the
northwest coast OF Africa, an empire
larger than Rhodesia, to be entitled
the United States Of Liberia. Here,
it is alleged, he proposes to found a
state peopled by negroes from Amer
lea, especially from the Southern
| States, who will be given grants OF
land and be encouraged to found a
country of their own. If NJ. Lebaudy
obtains all the territory he desires
he will have a country rich in
minerals, india rubber and coffee.

Rio Grande sixty-two miles north
west from Ciudad Porfrio Diaz,

Railroad touches the border, and

"This agreement, as will be seen,

A Woman's Point Of View.

A Woman's Point of View.
There's good time coming,
So they say;
There's land where all is lovely
Far away,
And we all keep fondly hoping
Thay some day
Ererycne VIII be q winner IL tie game,
But III bet that when we get there
We shall find
That the girl fellow loves best
Is incliued
As the girl was in the land he left
behind,
To bestow her smiles on others,
Just the same.
Just to prove that some men are
really very deceitful (although they
all swear they are anything but
that I must tell you little story
that has just leaked out. A sweet
girl, living here in San Antonio, is
just home from a long vacation
spent somewhere by the sea. Of
course she had been gone so long
that it required several days after
her return to get next to who was
who and what was what. She cor
responded with a gentlemen while
she was away, but | guess he filled
his letters full of spring poetry and
chow | miss you" (deceitful thing)
At any rate, the first thing the girl
saw wheu she reached home was
the announcement in the paper of
his engagement to another girl.
But the awful part is to come.
You see the girl does beautiful
hemstitching and instead OF play
ing golf and tennis with the other
fellows at the watering place every
afternoon, she'd take her little work
basket and parasol down by the sea,
and as a result when she came
home she had two dozen of the most
exquisite handkerchiefs hemstitched
and with embroidered initials,
faultlessly done by her fair hands,
for this same wretch of Il man.
There was an understanding be-
tween them of course. You don't
suppose a girl is going to ruin her
eye6ight hemstitching handkerchiefs
and give up lot of larks unless
she really cares for man, DO you?
What then do you suppose she did
when she heard he was engaged to
the other girl?
Faint? No indeed. Have a fit like
they do in polite society? Not much.
She spruced right up. Sent the
handkerchieis and a sweet little
note to another fellow with the
same initial who wanted to be her
slave long ago. Told him that every
stitch in them represented thought
for him, and a lot Of other silly
things so he'd go and tell her first
love. And when the latter heard OF
it he got so mad he broke his
engagement with the other girl and
declared all members Of the fair
sex to be false. They say he's just
dying to make up with the girl who
hemstitched the handkerchiefs. But
she always passes By on the other
side.-Dolly Warden, in San An

MASS MEETING
NEXT TUESDAY.

The city council met last night to vote
on an ordinance providing for shutting
of lights and dlsmissing city officers to
curtail expenses for the coming year.
At the suggestion Of Mr.. Fitzgerald, who
was present, the matter was postponed
to give the citizens an opportunity to ex.
anime into the matter aud consult to-
gether regarding the best plan to adopt.
The council expressed Its thanks to Mr..
Fitzgerald for the interest he had shown.
1t was encouraging that even one citizen
took the trouble to attend the meeting
and offer advice. Mr.. Fitzgerald thought
that too much had been spent on i'm
provements to let things 30 backwards.
He believed that the business men when
they understood matters would help to
figure out some way to 60 ahead as In
the past. The council has only one de-
termination that they are not willing 10
depart from. That determination Is to
not 70 into debt any further. The old
debts have been growing smaller and ln
the same proportion property value has
been Increasing, No action will ba taken
now until after the whole matter Is sub
'mitted 10 a mass meeting and all inter-
ested have a chance to advise together.
A mass meeting will be held at Gluok's
opera house on next Tuesday evening
December %, when 1t is hoped that every
person who owns property in Dodge
City will be present. The mayor aud
council are ready to entertain any sug-
gestlons. They say they are ready to
pursue any course that will be for the
best good Of the city. The only thing
they are unalterably against Is going in
to debt

Key ball is a new game which has
more attractive features to a certain
crowd in Dodge City than basket ball or
indoor base ball. The writer knows
nothing about the rules of the game save
what may be CLEANED from the account
heard Of the game played by two oppos-
Ing teams here last Saturday night, To
play the game, 1t appears, it Is necessary
to have cold storage man, an express
company, a drsyman and two opposing
teams Of players. Saturday night's
game had the following plays: The cold
storage man stationed at Ellinwood made
quick delivery Of the shall" to the ex.
press messenger who handed 1t on deft-
ly to the first base at the r. X. depot
here. The drayman was in the game up
to llis neck and qnidkly secured and con-
cealed the "ball". The captain of the
team which "had the ball, gave the Gig.
nal and the drayman made a circuitous
run to the goal on the Arkansas River
bank. The opposing teams look-outs
located the ball and stealthily removed
II to their goal the location OF which
was not known to the first team. The
game would have been fairly won by
this play, only that the goal was by mere
accident located by member Of the first
team. At this point Of the game the
frat team changed the location Of its
goal and got the ball slfely hidden.
Then the team separated, slipping
cautiously one by one to the goal. Be.
lore tho opposing team located this SEQ

that the county attorney bad refused to
allow the county commissioners to re-

Mr.. Dawson found by Wife in
Dying Condition.
DEATH WAS DUE TO POISON
Letters Found Indicate That He
Had Contemplated
Suicide.
strom our Bucklin Correspondent.

From our Bucklin Correspondent.
IA very sudden death occurred here
Tuesday, W. H. Dawson, man In the
prime Of life, He went to bed Monday
night In his usual good heslth and at
about about one o'clock a, m. his wife
awoke and found him unconscious aud
apparently dying condition. She i'm
medlately called in DR.. Bredehoft and
he found that the patient was suferering
from poison. DR.. Fannon was called and
be agreed with DR.. Bredehoft that 1t was
case Of poison, but Us to what partlcu.
lar drug had been taken they we're not
able to decide. The patient fingered
until about eleven O'Clock and then In
spite Of all that the doctor could do for
him be died. Coroner Doctor Bredehoft
lmpaneled a jury to investigator the
cause Of death and after considering all
Of the evidence that could be obtained,
which consisted mostly of two letters
written by the deceased which were
found in bis coat pocket. One was to
bis wife and one to bis father-in. law, in
which be indicated an intention Of com.
mitting suicide, We do not know at this
writing just what the jury's verdict will
be, but it will probably be, death by
poison. From our acquaintance with
the deceased we are very 10th to
Y ..aink that he contemplated self de.
struction. Mr.. Dawson has lived here
about two years and we have met him
often during that time and conversed
with him frequently and considered him
to be an honest, level headed man. A
man that was not afraid to meet the re-
sponsibilities of life and fight against ad-
verse circumstances. MIR. Dawson was
an employe of the Rock Island Ry,, a
brakeman, we believe, and sober in
dustrlous man. We would much rather
believe that the poison was taken through
mistake than by intention. The body
was taken Tuesday night to Wellington,

CAN PROVE AN ALIBI.
Fred Neuman Charged With Being
Corpse Is Not Guilty.

Corpse Is Not Guilty.
Fred Neuman, formerly Of this city
having gone through with the ordeal Of
being killed and buried by the Dodge
City papers Is again pursuing the ever
tenor of bis way in the service of the
Stafford Milling Company. 1t was
Fred's first experience with death. even
the kind that newspapers may inhict.
As he is alive and can prove an rnques-
tionable alibi on the corpse charge, Fred
has little to complain of, Postmaster
Arment has a real grievance in con-
nectlon with the matter. Mr., Arneut
had just written a letter to Nenman
about a business affair when he noticed
that Fred was doing a dead stunt at
Kansas City. Mr.. Arment had a very
queer sensation as be tore up the letter
be bad just written. Now through this
error regarding Neuman he will have to
write another letter.
