HANOVER BooMs.
Town Continues to Thrive in Build
ing and Business.

Hanover, Oct 10.-The St. Joseph
& Grand Island railroad company DIS
tributes about $1,000 monthly among
their employees who live in Hanover
The company have no less than $780,
900 invested at this point. Besides II
is the home of division foreman r T.
Becker. This division is 12S miles
from ST. Joseph. and about 1S5 miles
to Kansas City, and yet there are sew
eral newspapers who move the Han
over division on paper to some other
town as often as do the Central branch
of the Missouri Pacific newspapers
extend that line to Denver. The fact
of it is, one never hears the st. Jo-
Seph & Grand Island officials or even
the trainmen talking. about the re-
moVal of the Hanover division else
where. The railroad people are con-
fident the division will remain in Han
over, and the bigger officials of this
line are entirely satisfied with Hanover
as a division point, and the friend
ship which has always existed With
the town and railroad company
Hanover is the site of the 15O-bar-
rel daily capacity grist mill OF Ed
Mueller & Son. For many years this
mill was located on the Blue river,
but the high water of the spring of
1903 cut new channel, and the mill
was moved to town. The railroad
company granted them. every conve
nience to rebuild their mill in town.
Another big industry for Hanover
is her canning factory. This is the
first season for business and the stock
holders claim it has paid them not
less than 20 per cent on their in
vestments. 1t has a daily capacity of
10000 cans. This factory is built
alongside the st. Joseph & Grand ISL
and road.
Hanover with a branch house in ST.
Joseph. 1t is operated by Mueller &
Co, whose trade annually foOtS up in
the thousands of dollars, and growing
rapidly.
A packing plant and cold storage in
dustry is an almost assured fact be-
fore the close of another year.
The mill furnishes the power to light
Hanover with electricity. There are
sixteen arc lights and before the close
of the year there will be no less than
!, 900 incandescent lights.
The st. Joseph & Grand Island rail-
road are watching the sheep industry
which comes from Idaho. Montana,
Utah and Wyoming. This company can.
see already over $4,000 to come over
their line, which will be unloaded in
one day to a week. These figures are
increasing every day. From Hanover
they will be shipped to st. Joseph and
Kansas City.
Hanover has population of over
!, 600. 1t has two banks and two news
papers 1t has a branch of the B. & M.
railroad system between Wymore and
Concordia. 1t has a large Catholic
nomination, besides several Protestant
churches and shoots. 1t has many large
and substantial business houses, and
two lumber yards. 1t has a large Tur-
ner hall and society, besides other pub
lie halls Her sidewalks are stone and
cement. Every building is occupied.
Several business buildings and many
have been completed this
year. And best of all Hanover is CEN
trally located in one of the richest and
most fertile sections of Kansas.

JOKE ON SURGEON FREEMAN.
Santa Fee Doctor Calls Coroner's Jury
to Sit Over Remains of a Cow.

Needles, Cal, Oct. 10.-All Needles
is convulsed with merriment over a
strange case of mistaken identity. The
westbound Overland arrived at Needles
carrying on the cowcatcher a CORY
mass of flesh and blood, which Dr.
Freeman, a Santa Fe surgeon, iden-
titled as human remains. The mass
was tenderly placed in a casket and
carried to the morgue. Justice of the
Peace L. " Root telegraphe here for
Coroner Pittman.
Late yesterday the coroner arrived
and, after impaneling a jury, repaired
to the morgue. followed by the jury,
DIR. Freeman, Judge Root, and many
citizens. The lid being removed from
the casket, Coroner Pittman bent over
the remains to examine them, deeply
puzzled. He ordered the contents
dumped upon the floor, when a curved
Vertebra became exposed, and point
ing to it he pronounced the remains
those of a COW.
DR.. Freeman had stated that he
supposed they were the remains of an
aged man on account of the brittleness
of the bones, but was convinced by the
coroner of his mistake. The remains
had been dragged along the track for
miles, wearing off all the hide. The
coroner arrived this morning from his
500mile trip with the story.

KAW UP TO THE COURTS.
To Determine Whether or Not 1t Is a
NavigabIe Stream.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The question
of whether the Kak river is a navi-
gable waterway will be decided by the
courts. If it is held that the stream
is naviga BILE. the government will pro-
coed against the railroad companies
whose bridges are an obstruction to
navigation. The decision of the war
department officials to obtain a legal
construction of the character indicat-
ed has direct bearing upon the Kaw
river improvement project by which it
is hoped to prevent recurrence of the
disastrous floods at Kansas City last
year.
Should the courts hold that the riv-
er is a navigable stream, such a de-
cisiOn would not only enable the gov
eminent to compel the railroad COM
panieS to remove the bridges and other
distractions for which they are re-
sponsible, but it would also place the
kaW within the provisions of the law
under which appropriations are made
for river and harbor improvements.
Congress has refused to appropriate
funds for improvements in the river.
because it has not been regarded as a
navigable waterway by the war de-
partment an opinion in which mem
bers of the house committee on rivers
and harborS concur.
The decision of the war department
to obtain an opinion from the courts is
the result VI d complaint UleQ with the
secretary of war by T. A. Pollock, as
attorney for George E. Ireland, who
owns Kaw river steamboat. In his
statement Ireland claims that the new
Rock Island railroad bridge is an OBJ
struction to navigation, and he de-
mands that the secretary of war take
action that will cause the removal of
said bridge and the wreckage, includ-
ing piling, etc, at the locality of the
bridge" He contends that the railroad
company did not comply with the law
in that it failed to obtain the approval
of the war department for the con-
struction of the bridge.
Gen. McKenZie's Recommendations.
This complaint was referred to Gen.
Alexander Mckenzie, chief of engi-
neers, who sent to the secretary a rec
ommendation that the war department
request the department of justice to
start proceedings to determine if the
river is navigable within the meaning
of the law.
The acting secretary of war sent the
papers in the case to Attorney General
Moody, with the request that the de-
partment of justice take steps at once
to bring the matter before the courts.
1t is said at the department of justice
that action would not be taken by that
department until the return ofAttorney
General Moody.

PHILLIPS APPOINTED.
Succeeds w. L. Essex as General Fore
man at Albuquerque.

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Oct. 1O.-John
B. Phillips has been appointed gen.
eraI foreman of the local shops to
succeed w. L. Essex, who has just
vacated the position after long term
of office. Mr.. Phillips is one of the
best men in the mechanical depart
ment of the system and has been gen.
eral foreman in the San Bernardino
shops for ten years. He has been
with the Santa Fe for eighteen years.
Concerning the appointment the San
Bernardino Sun says:
Regarding his promotion to the
general foremanship of the Alhuquer-
que shops, Mr.. Phillips probably can
trace it directly to Mr.. Hicks, who
recently went to Albuquerque as mas
ter mechanic. Mr.. Hicks was close
friend of Mr.. Phillips and when the
general foremanship at Albuquerque
recently was made vacant by the res
ignation of Mr.. Essex, Mr.. Hicks at
once asked that Phillips be given the
place and the request was granted
by Mechanical superintendent Bean, it
is said, much against the wishes of
Master Mechanic Todd, of this city,
who did not want to give Mr.. Phil
lipS up"

the Union depot at 1888 Sunday, and
which had a headon collision with a
freight engine in the yards near Wy
oming street. The accident was caused
by a misplaced switch, and the major
said that he personally saw a number
of passengers with broken limbs and
decorations on their faces and bodies
but this statement is denied by both
the Missouri Pacific officials and sur
geonS.
Surgeon Hamil said that while a few
of the passengers received slight
scratches on their faces and bodies,
and some had their arms wrenched,
none of them were sufficiently injured
to even order their removal to the hos
pital, and that they continued on their
journey. The claim agents of the road
refused to give list of the injured,
saying that no one was badly hurt.
Like representations were made by of
ficials and employees in the yards at
the scene of the accident
