The BeIOit Man Gets Another Place and
Gives Up GOOdIand-
At a meeting Of the board of educa-
ton of the GOodland schools last week,
S. V. Mallory. was elected principal
of the Sherman county high school and
c. ". Mccormick, assistant principal.
This action came as the result of the
noncompliance of the PrinciPaIshiP by
c. E. Rose, of Beloit, who had been
elected as principal of the GOOdland
schools for the coming year. Mr.. Rose
secured the princiPalshiP of a school in
Idaho with 500 more a year attached
to it, and that Is the reason he failed
to accept after he had his application
in for our schools
Previous to the meeting Of last week
no one had been elected to the assistant
princiPalship, and when Prof. Mallory
was elected to take Roses place, Nc
Cormick was named for the second
place. The full corps of teachers is

OLD SETTLERS PRoPHEsY.
Recent Rains Make Them See Visions
and Young FBTen Dream Dreams.

Recent Rains Make Them See Visions,
and Young tBTen Dream Dreams.
The recent continuous and copious
rains have put new face on nature.
Never in the history of the country has
there been such a crop of grass, and all
crops have a luxuriant appearance.
John Bray, who formerly owned a
ranch on the Beaver, but who is now
here on a visit from southern California,
said to a reporter of this paper: - 10
Gated here in 1880 and I have never
seen anything here that compares with
present conditions. The grasses and
vegetation on the prairies are FIVE times
more dense and abundant than when 1
settled on the Beaver years ago. At
that time the buffalo grass was in
punches, about six inches apart, owing
to the prairie fires that swept the coun-
try annually There was no continuous
carpet Of grass anywhere on the di-
vides as there is now. All that lis neces-
sary to make this a splendid country is
to shut out completely all prairie fires. -
Other old-timers concur in this state
ment, and Of course add their own per
sOnaI views, all coming to the conclu-
sion that there is a bright future for
Sherman county. Now is the time, the
prairie being soft with rain, to pillow eff
fective fire guards.
Within the last year or two farmers
have been buying more land than ever be-
fore The mortgage business is gone,
and Prosperity's reckoning finger is in
every mans eye. For the man of
moderate means northwest Kansas pre-
sents a more fattering offer than any
country in the world. The young men
of today are going to be rich farmers
of tomorrow. The old men see visions
and the young men dream dreams.

Under One Management.
There has been a business change in
St. Francis, the county seat of Cheyenne
comfy, and now the Cheyenne County
Rustler, for twenty years the ''Protege' Of
c E DenisOn, has passed into posses
sion Of George Lawless, the owner Of

the other a democratic paper, but in all
probability they viii remain separate
in politics and both given a better
news service than formerly. Instead Of
being editor, tyPesetter and devil, Mr..
Lawless will now have time to give to
editing and news-gathering, for he can
now perhaps afford to hire a journey
man printer.
In his goodbye TO his patrons, Mr.
DenisOn writes: There comes a time
in the lives of all of Us when we feel
that for reasons best known to ourselves,
a change of business affairs is impera-
lively demanded. Acting upon this be-
lief, whether right OF wrong, we have
disposed of the Cheyenne County Rust

dated the paper with the Kansas Eagle. ."
Neither DenisOn nor Lawless, while
they have been publishing papers in St.
Francis, have ever grown fat from the
income, and newsPaPermen in all
northwest Kansas viii be glad to sur
mise at least that in the change, Mr.
Lawless will now receive a better yet
moderate income for his labor and in
vested capital.
Lawless has backbone; says what he
thinks ought to be sailor at least he
did not leave any stones unturned in
the Dewey case. He handed the su-
preme court of Kansas a supreme roast
on the bail question, and stuck a spit
into big John Connolly and held him
over the fire of his caustic utterance IN
til you could smell him burn. IF Law
less keeps up his vim he may some day
be known as the author of our modern
PhiliPPiCs.

T. P Crawford and ]. W. KanOuse ,
both of whom live south of GoOdland,
were IN town Monday and reported to
Clark Shimeall, writing agent for the
st. Paul company, that their crops
which had been insured in the St. Paul
had been considerably damaged by
hail in the storm that swept portions of
the county Saturday night. Kanouse
had Is acres of rye insured and he con-
sidered the damage done by hail was
Is per cent. Crawford's loss was on rs
acres of wheat and he lodged a damage
claim for 20 per cent. Streaks of hail
have been doing some damage in diff
ferent parts of the county. During
the storm Saturday night considerable
small hail feel in GOOdland, but the
damage to vegetation was slight.

the Work OF the July Term
The district court of Sherman county
meets the first Monday in July, which
is the fourth, but as If falls upon the
national holiday It viii probably not
convene until the next day, the fifth.
There are two criminal cases on the
docket this time-bOth assaults, one
against Thomas Bandy and the other
against T. ". Taylor. There are a
string of civil cases, IS in all, most of
which are foreclosures, or having to
deal with the quieting of titles to Sher-
man county land. For II years people
have not shown so much interest IN real
estate in this county as at the present
time. All the old mortgages are being
cleared up by the mortgages, and
when title to all these tracts are made

lands are taken in hand by those who
have an interest in them, people will be

them except when they are rented. The

The Sermon to Grnduates.

Rev. c. L. Adams, of the Episcopal
church, in addressing the graduates of
the Sherman county high school at the
Methodist church Sunday evening, took
as his theme, words from John 1910:
81 have come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more
abundantly." He spoke of mans won
derful qualities physical, intellectual
and spiritual-saying that even well
trained body and a enlightened mind
would fall short of the fullness of life
without strivings toward ideals in sPir-
itual things. Faith, and love of Him
who has wrought so marvelously in
creating and endOwing, are necessary
to a broad culture and the greatest use

FOUND BODY ALONG RAILROAD
EAH SUPPOSED TO HAVE sExE KILLED
By TRAIN MAR BURLINGTON.
Inquest Held By Coroner and Jury Brings
in Terdicts--SEiIled by RaIlroad
Observation-Disclosures, the Body Was
Buried at Darlington.

Lying by the railroad track about
two miles east of Burlington, Colo, the
body of man, with his skull crushed
in, was discovered by Engineer A. G.
Patrick at O'Clock last Thursday
afternoon, while pulling eastbound
passenger No. A. The train was stop
ped, and, a(brief examination showing
the man to be dead, the body was left
where it lay, and the matter reported
by Conductor Bagley, of the passenger
train, to the railroad officials at Good
land.
A dispatch was sent to the coroner at
Burlington, informing him that the
body of q man had been discovered
east of that town, which was followed
up by the holding of an inquest, the
jury bringing in a verdict, killed by a
railroad train
Nothing was found on the body to
identity the man, except a letter from
the state of Washington, addressed to
- Coon. The mans death was
caused by the crushing in of his skull,
but reports are conflicting as to whether
the blow was received in front or in the
back of the head. The story as best
it could be gathered up in Goodland
was to the effect that Coon was walk
ing east in company with another man,
and that as freight No. 81, westbound,
came along the men parted, each step
ping to opposite sides of the track, and
that loose door on one of the box
cars was caught by a gust of wind,
which struck him on the head, killing
him instantly. Some other reports say
that the head was crushed in from be-
hind, which, if the door struck him,
would have coon walking west in
stead of east.
Chief Dispatcher WalcOtt, in speaking
of the finding of the body of Coon, said
that upon report of Engineer Patrick
and Conductor Bagley, of No. AZ, an
examination and inquiry into the case
was made. Eastbound freight No. 90,
Engineer Kline and Conductor Randall,
was about 20 minutes ahead of No. AZ.
They report meeting two men
WIZ oNCHR~1 eAoANNH JIG OL OA4~ SANA(
of the track and the other on the other
side. The cars of No. 90 were exam
ined as to loose doors, and only one
car was found where the bottom of the
door could be pulled out Is inches. No
man could stand or walk that near
fast moving train, the cylinders of the
engine standing out farther than that.
1t is improbable that train No. 90 killed
the man, for the reason that these two
men were reported going west, while
the train was headed east, and that the
man was not struck in the forehead but
in the back-head.
1t is understood that the companion
with Coon was present as a witness at
the inquest, and was released upon the
finding of verdict.
The case has something of the air
of mystery about It and some think
that COon's companion should be held
for further investigation.
Coon was buried at Burlington by
the authorities As to the identity of
the dead man, the name, Coon, seems
to be confirmed by report, and that he
lived at Stuttgart, Phillips county, Kan

From the Colorado Springs Gazette.
r. F. COots, a well-known and POpu-

turned from the national convention of

in Los Angeles, California.
Mr.. COots says the convention was a
great success and that the delegates
found plenty of time, in between ses-
siOns, to enjoy themselves He was a
delegate from the Brotherhood Loco
motive Engineers union of GOodland,
Kan, which includes this section of
the Rock Island in its division.
Mr.. Coots has been telling of some
great fishing which delegates to the con-
vention enjoyed. He was recently tell
ing a story about one OF his own fishing
experiences. He said he had thrown
in his line and quickly got a bite from
a whOOping big tuna. 1t nearly pulled
him in but he hung on and on, and
was steadily drawing in the fish when
suddenly his thoughts changed and he
was sitting with his hand on the throttle
and he was trying to stop his engine
before it struck a 2OO-Pound trout that
was on the track in front of him and
just as the engine was on top of the
trOut-he awoke.. He tells this story on
