A'LosT X.

Ten years ago a farmer cut an X
mark on silver dollar and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year
was out he got the dollar back again
for poultry and spent it again with
another merchant. -Four times In six
years that dollar came home to him
for produce, and three other times he
heard Of it in the pockets of his neigh
bors. The last time he got it in
change, nearly four years ago, he sent
it TO a Chicago mail order house that
had amassed hundred million dollars
by selling third-rate goods at second.
rate prices. lie has not seen that dol
lar since, and never will until the
crack Of doom That dollar will never
pay any more school or road tax for
him, never build up the town or coun-
try, never bless and brighten the
home of his neighborS. He sent it
entirely out of,itS circle of usefulness
to him.-Exchange.

RAILROAD FOR STOCKTON.

Rocks county needs better railroad
service. A very large amount of
wheat from that section has been
coming to Rock Island points. This
necessitateS a great deal of labor and
expense which reduces the profits.
Here Is the way a Rocks county paper
views the problem
"F. E. Young's railroad from Agra
to Stockton, while no doubt very de-
sirable thing, will not accomplish the
tremendous results to be obtained
from Roy Bonebrake's railroad to
Hutchinson, which would give gulf
outlet for all our grain and save the
ten cent haulto Kansas City. YOungs
road would be very convenient for
passengers, while BOnebrake's would
solve the freight problem, which is
our main trouble in these days. But
seriously, there is great deal Of hard
thinking going on among the pro-
ducerS Of this section, who have been
made the victims Of our abSurdly in
adequate railroad facilities. They are
ready to give right Of away, contrib-
ute grading, or do anything in their
power to get another road across this
county. A road proposition made
now by parties with business backing
will receive almost unanimous en-
dorsement from farmers aud business
men. Here we are at the close Of a
season that would have brought un.
precedented prosperity II the two rail.
roads that traverse the county had
made an honest effort to move the
crops. Business is no better than II
is in a season Of short crops; money Is
as scarce as in hard times; with mil
lions of bushels of wheat on hand
very few can pay their debts or buy all
the comforts and luxuries they had
planned. Our great crop has so far
proved anything but a blessing. The
sole responsibility for this state oil
affairs rests on the railroads, which,
unavoidably or Intentionally, we are
not prepared to state, have made a
signal failure Of getting our product
to market. In either case another
line is what we want. A meeting to
discuss this subject will be held Satur-
day afternoon in Stockton, and a pro.
moter from Hutchinson will be there.

The scene was picturesque and novel
All the American and a number of Brit

Lord Beresford said it was particular
ly easy to do so, owing to recent events
in which the king had been messenger
of peace and good willg 1oSYard all ma
tons. The interest oisfhe whole world
favored peace. He believed che day was
coming when King Edward would be
known as Edward the pea cemaker. -
The toast was drunk with enthusiasm

ident Roosevelt" and asked why the
president was liked in England. He ad-
ded:
we like the man, we like the strong,
generous man, what 1 may call the real
human man. The president will do his
level best to bring the two great Eng
disappearing nations together in one
harmonious whole. which is the same
idea King Edward had on the occasion
of his visit to the president of France. I"

TOOK A SHORT CUT
President RoOsevelt's Oldest
Son Comes in Late.
Ordered by Guards to Throw
Up His Hands.
THOUGHT 1T A JOKE
That He Came So Near Passing
Undiscovered.
Result Has Been the Doubling
of the Guard.

New York, July 9.-Theodore, Jr., the
oldest son of President Roosevelt has, it
is reported, had a narrow escape from
secret service agents who guard his
fathers home at Oyster Bay.
He had been visiting the home of a
neighbor, returning to Sycamore Hill
about 1 o'clock in the morning. The
president and his family had gone to
bed and the house was in darkness.
The moon was shining bright, but be-
cause of the dense foliage objects even
at a short distance were indistinct.
The young man did not come up the
path generally used by those going to
the house. He took a short cut and ap-
preached from the rear. The secret SER
vice men on duty did not see him until
he was almost on the steps.
What do you want?" one demanded.
He was slow in answering and was or
dered to throw up his hands. The men
covered him until they got close enough
to recognize the presidents son. He
thought it was good joke. However,
the fact that she got so close to the
house before he was picked up by the
secret service men has resulted in a
change in the method of guarding the
president. During some of the watches,
particularly in the day time and during
secret service man has been on duty.
After midnight two men went on and
remained until after daylight, when they
were relieved by the single man. who
took up the day watch. Henceforth two
men will be on guard at all hours of the
6aV and night.

LOUBET GOES HOME.
Visit of French President to
England Comes to Close.

London, July 9-The visit of Presi-s
dent Loubet to London was brought to
a close at $40 o'clock this morning,
when the French chief magistrate left
the Victoria station for Dover. The
scenes and incidents of his departure
testified to how the republican presi~
dent by his unassuming dignity and
cordial sincerity had captured all clas
ses and won the popular good will
which sovereigns have been unable to
achieve.
Despite the earIiness of his departure
crowds lined the route from st. James
palace to the railway station and
British "Hurrahs" and French ''vive
Loubets'' re-echoed through the streets
until the president had entered the sta
ton. Here the nations guest was met
by the king the Prince of Wales, the
Duke of COnnaught, Lord Lansdowne.
Premier BalfOur, other ministers, MEM
bers of the French embassy and a
crowd of military and other officials.
AS NJ. Loubets carriage drew up
King Edward advanced with OUT
stretched hand and taking the presi-
dent familiarly by the arm, led him
through the waiting room to the royal
car. For few minutes the king and
the president stood talking with much
animation. King Edward grasped NJ.
Loubet's right hand and shook it with
extreme cordiality. while with the left
hand he patted the president on the
shoulder Officials, as well as amateur
artists could be seen in all drec-
tions taking snap shots of the striking
scene.
After renewed hand shaking his ma
jesty showed the president into the
royal car and stood chatting with him
until the train pulled out amid cheers
and shouts of ''vive Loubet," mingled
with the strains of the "Marseillaise.'
President Loubet stood at the window
waving his gloved hand until the royal
special disappeared from view.
Upon his arrival at Dover, NJ. Lou
bet nbarked on the French cruiser
Guichen and the vessel sailed at once
for Calais, escorted by a British tor
pedo fiotilla and followed by farewell
salutes from the fleet and castle Be
fore his departure from Dover Presi-
dent Loubet telegraphed to King Ed
ward thanking him for the hearty re-
ception accorded him "as the repre~
land"
The text of NJ Loubet's telegram to
the king is as follows:
AT the moment of leaving British
soil 1 am anxious to address to your
majesty an expression of my liveIiest
gratitude for the hearty reception your
majesty and her majesty the queen,
the royal family and the British nation
extended to me as the representative
of France, the friend of England

Pope Leo complained of intestinal disturb

Notwithstanding he went into the vatican
garden and returned to his apartment
again feeling benefited from his drive.
"On Thursday he declared he felt well,
but DR.. Lapponi, wishing to know person
ally the nature of the disturbance COM
planned Of spent the night in the vatican.
During the night the pope was sleepless

pope and found pulmonary Inflammation in

nal kaTpolla and began the treatment
which ne thought right on Saturday. Dur
ing the day the Inflammation spread. Dr.
Lappom worried, desired to have Pope Leo
seen by DR.. Mazzoni who, since the opera

sionally, replacing DR.. Lapponi during his
hinesss with appendicitis.
'On Sunday Dr. Mazzoni went to the
vatican and examined the patient with
LapDoni. confirming the latter's diagnosis
which was defined in the medical bulletin
as pulmonary hepatization. The original
treatment was continued. consisting of
