EARL's COUSIN IN JAIL.
Struck Man Who Jostled Him on
Street Car.

London, Dec. ga. E. Craven, a
cousin of the Earl of Craven, son-in-
law of Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley-Martin,
formerly of New York, has been sem
fenced to twenty-one days in Jail for a
brutal assault on a fellow passenger
on train. The latter, while entering
a crowded car, bumped against Mr..
Craven's knee with his gripsack. Mr..
Craven extensively demanded an
apology, and upon receiving a refusal,
struck the plaintiff in the face. Mr..
Craven then loudly proclaimed himself
"a gentleman whose name could be
found in Debrett and cousin of the
Earl of Craven"
The plaintiff declared that Mr..
Craven'S conduct was not that a gen.
tleman, whereupon Mr.. Craven dealt
him a violent blow on the nose, draw
ing blood profusely. The magistrate,
in sending Mr.. Craven to Jail, charac-
terized the assault as most unjusti-
fable and most blackguardly, for
which fine was quite Inadequate.

NO 1RoQUo1s ANNIVERSARY.
Chicago Theater Managers Want Pub
lie to Forget Tragedy.

Chicago Dec. 29.-Chicago theater
managers, ignoring the plea of the Iro-
quois Memorial association, have de-
cided to keep open their playhouses
Friday afternoon, the anniversary of
the Iroquois fire here. Despite the
protest of the friends and relatives of
those who persisted the houses will
gather in the holiday dollars as usual.
The managers of the vaudeville and
other houses having Friday matinees
have taken the stand that observance
of the anniversary would tend to revive
memories of the slaughter and hurt
business"
The IroQuois itself, now running as
HYDE & Behman's music hall, may re-
main open and pay no attention to the
anniversary.

In speaking of the matter recently,
Agent Nelson said that he had no
doubt that the arrangement would be
made and that the Eastern Oklahoma
line would be handling the joint bust
ness of the two systems to the extent
mentioned within the next sixty days.
General Manager Nudge of the
Santa Fe, who recently made a trip
over the road, is said to have pro-
nounced it the best built line in opera
ton through the two territories and
perfectly fit for heavy freight traffic
as we'll as for passenger business.
The large increase in freight traffic
over the road will necessarily call for
a large additional force of men in the
train service, and by. the consumma
ton of the proposition Shawnee will
at once become the most important
division point between the Missouri
river and the gulf.

Would Not Send Horticulture
Statistics to State.
Secretary Barnes Has Difficulty
Making His Report.
BIG KANSAS ORCHARDS
BIG KANSAS ORCHARDS
Names Of Men Who Own Apple
Trees by Thousands.
Strawberries Becoming One Of
States Profitable Crops.

Secretary Barnes, of the State Hor-
bcultural society, in his annual report.
takes a shot at Shawnee, Brown and
Crawford counties, which refused to
obey the law requiring asses to col
lect horticulture statistics Tor his de-
partment- He says:
"A bill was passed by the last Iegis-
lature allowing this department to take,
through the township and city asses
sors, certain statistics regarding horti-
culture in the state. Sixteen hundred
such rolls with questions covering all,
or nearly all lines of horticulture were
sent out to county clerks and by them
delivered to the assessors. Three OF
the well populated counties sent no re-
turns. In two of these counties, Brown
and Shawnee, the assessors refused to
carry our rolls; from the third, and
from six Sparsely settled counties we
can get no satisfaction. For these de-
Hnquent counties, we applied to the
board of agriculture for figures as far
as available. In several counties one
two and even three or more township
assessors were just as contrary or dis
interested and left their rolls blank.
THE county officials here admit that
the assessors refused to collect the de-
sired statistics.
They simply thought that the sta
tistics called for were unnecessary. and
refused to pay any attention to the
books which were sent to them for the
horticulture work. They knew that the
law required the collection of these
putting a lot of unnecessary work upon
them"
1t is no wonder that Secretary Barnes
thinks he has ground for complaint. II
county officers are able to set aside
state law simply because they don't
feel like obeying it.
The statistics which were collected
by Secretary Barnes give a lot of in
teresting information about the big
orchards of the state.
Barring the counties, Brown, Craw-
ford, Clark, Decatur, Ellis, Norton,
Rush, and Shawnee, from which no
statistics were returned, there are 1929
apple orchards of over 100 and under
300 trees.
The following counties sold the fol-
lowing number of bushels of apples in
1903:

KANSAS HoN1EsEEKERs' RATES.
Santa Fee Reduces Rates From East
ern Kansas to Western Kansas.

ern Kansas to Western Kansas.
The Santa Fe railroad has an
nOunced excursion rates whereby
homeseekers in the eastern part of
Kansas may buy reduced rate railroad
tickets to points in western Kansas.
The idea is an innovation in the
matter of homeseekers' excursions and
no doubt will prove to be quite popular
among eastern Kansas people who are
looking for locations in the western
part of the state
The excursions will be twice a
month at which time only will reduced
rates be given to purchasers of tickets
of this character. The first and third
Tuesdays of each month are desig-
mated homeseekers' days, and on these
days only will the tickets be sold. The
offer also expires after the last ex-
cursfon day in the month of April.
The state of Kansas is divided for
the purpose of basing the points from
which these tickets may be sold, by
an imaginary line drawn through Con-
cordia, Minneapolis. Salina. McPher-
son, Newton, Wichita, Wellington,
and Caldwell. From each of the
above towns and from all stations east
of these towns, the tickets will be
sold, provided, only that the fare for
distance to be travelled by the one way
trip shall not be less than S. The
round trip rate will be one fare plus
50 for the round trip.
The tickets provide for liberal time
limits for return land other features.

special 10 La Jara CHRONICLE.
Kansas City, Nov. There has
been decided Improvement in the
cattle market since Monday. Last
week closed badly, and as 10 900 cat
tie came in Monday, it looked about
like there was nothing bright ahead
for this week. But receipts dropped
off after Tuesday, and the total for
the week is only $4,000 head, 2O,-
600 less than last week. Prices
have in consequence gained 10 to
90 cents all around, and the feeling
is better. Top beef steers this week
S6l0, but nothing very toppy has
been here. Good hard fat grass
steers bring 1915 to S475. These
grass cattle are killing better now
than they have done before since
they began coming this year. Grass
cows have sold at So % to $3.50,
and few fancy corn fed heifers sold
this week at S5.15, about as good as
steers for the packers. Gamers have
improved their position last few days.
Nice light veals are firm, up to 1878,
but heavy ones and stock calves are
dull. Stockers and feeders are steady,
good ones strong, bat few sales are
above SO So, and desirable stuff is
secured at S27 to SO so. General
sentiment, however, favors better
prices for all kinds of cattle in the
near future, and a good market Is
looked for mex week.
Sheep and lamb prices continue
firm ON oil kinds. More of the stuff
was suitable for packers than usual
this week, an adjustment which kept
all prices about steady. Best lambs
now brin So so to So So, wethers
S425, ewes 1915 to $500. Coun-
try kinds of wethers and yearliugs
still sell at SO IS to So IS, hmbs

The County Election.

It's all over. The right men
have been elected and Conejos
county is to be congratulated for
so emphatically turning down
those would-be statesmen of the
Independent republican stripe
They polled less than one-fourth
of the vote of the county which
tells the story SO completely that
further remarks are unnecessary.
However. they deserve the most
rigid condemnation from every
Republican of Colorado for the
cut-throat policy they pursued in
regard to the vote on governor. SO
DESTROYS were they of electing a
portion of their county ticket that
they traded Peabody votes for
votes for any one of their candi-
dates wherever they could and
where they couldn't they instructed
their followers to vote the straight
Independent ticket. In San Rafael
precinct. for instance. where the
independent ticket received %
votes. not a one of these % voters
cast vote for any candidate on
either the national or state tickets.
And SO ii was in every precinct in
the county. In La lara, a Demo-
cratic precinct. there were only
twenty straight Democratic votes
cast, the bulk of the Demo-
Gratis voting for McKelvey in re-
turn for votes from the independ-
ents for Alva Adams. Had it not
been for this one condition the in
dependent republican ticket in
this county would have been as
harmless and of as little conse-
quence as dog baying the moon.
