WHEAT THRESHING.
Resumed Yesterday After Wet
Weather Delays.

The forty-odd wheat threshers in
Christian county began to thresh
wheat yesterday. The straw
which is very rank is still tough
from the wet weather and difficult
to handle. AS a result, several
threshers were broken before noon
and there were hurried trips 10
town for repairs.
The crop is fine andis practically
uninjured solar. Prices at Chicago
took another jump yesterday to a
dollar, but the local price remains
the same as last week, SO cents.

BLOOD FLOWS
10 The Butchers Strike at
Chicago.
Seven Men Are Injured and Sew
eral of Them hay
Die.

Chicago, July lin an attack
this afternoon on four colored
strike-breakers by a mob, COM
posed of spectators at an amateur
base ball game in the vicinity of
the stock yards, two white men,
one policemen and the four strike
breakers were severely injured.
Revolvers and knives were used
and three of the injured men are in
serious condition.
Efforts for Peace.
The officials of the Union Stock
Yards q Transit Company and a
committee from the fremen, oilers,
and water tenders, employed at the
yards, Will take a hand in the
butchers strike tomorrow and en-
deavor to arrange another peace
conference with the packers. This
proposed interference is influenced
by the effect of the strike upon the
Transit Company's business. The
company receives, feeds and pens
and distributes to the various con-
signees all the live stock shipped
into the yards. II is estimated that
there are 10000 cattle, $4,000 hogs
and 10000 sheep in pens of the
Union Stock Yards s. Transit Com
pany at present. The cost per day
for yarding and feeding cattle
alone is 81 a head, and for sheep
and hogs so cents a head. Should
there be sympathetic strike to
morrow of the allied craft it would
prevent the company from distribut-
ing this live stock on hand and
would cause a loss of at least $40,
900.

DEATH CLOSE AFTER HIM.
Malcolm Linden Knocked Into River
by Train.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Death through three
agencies has come close to Malcolm
LindeIl all within few minutes of
each other. AS mementoes of adven-
ture me has a broken leg, broken arm
and several fractured ribs, which will
necessitate a stay in the hospital. Lin
dell was crossing the Lake Shore rail-
road bridge over the Calumet river
when a Pennsylvania train bore down
upon him. He Ieaped directly in front
of a passing Lake Shore train. He was
hurled over the bridge and into the
river. The engineer of the Pennsyl-
vania saw the accident, stopped his
train and went to the rescue. A rope
was lowered and Lindel wrapped it
around his body and was drawn to
safety.

the convention, some of the Holton- peo-
pie who had the good name of their
town at heart persuaded the proprietor
to take in anti-Curtis delegates until
the rooms were claimed by those who
had engaged them. Many of the anti
Curtis delegates, however, had to be
sent to inferior accommodations
The Atchison Globe publishes the fol-
lowing concerning this matter:
Before the Holton congressional
convention it was reported that the an
ti-Curtis delegates from Atchison had
been refused hotel accommodations.
The Globe discredited the report but
there seems to have been a great deal
of truth in it A letter from DeVere
Rafter, Holton attorney, to Andy
White, written three days before the
convention, says he had engaged the
City hotel, operated by Postmaster
Williams, but that when Williams
learned that it had been reserved for
ahti-Curtis delegates he rescinded the
entire transaction. Rafter says he then
tried to secure the other hotel for
White and his friends, but that it had
been engaged by a crowd from Topeka,
but notified them they would be taken
care of in some way. White says he
did not request accommodations at any
hotel himself, but that he had heard
that anti-Curtis delegates were reflis-
ed hotel accommodations there after
being told that they would be reserv-

CANT TAKE ALL WATER.
Nebraska Mill Owners Must
Leave Some for Kansas.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 6.-The Nebraska
supreme court has handed down an
opinion in which it holds that Nebras-
ka irrigators using the water of the
Republican river to the detriment of q
Kansas mill owner may be enjoined in
the district court from making such
use thereof. The complainant, a miller
named Cline. of Concordia. Kas al
legged the water in the river is dimin-
ished by it's use for irriga ton in Ne
braska and his mill can not run. The
lower court denied him relief, but the
supreme court decides that comfy as
We'll as riparian rights are involved, and
reverses the trial court
The issue in this case seems to be
somewhat similar to that in the Kan
sas-Colorado litigation now pending in
the United States supreme court except
that in the latter the state of Kansas
is the plaintiff instead of an individual,
and 1t is not alleged that the taking
of water by Colorado Injuries an estab-
lished milling business alone. but in
jures the entire agricultural interests
of the Arkansas valley.
This decision may have some bearing
on the Kansas-Colorado litigation, al
though, of course, the United States SUI
preme court need not necessarily fol-
low it. 1t will lend considerable weight
however to the contention of Kansas.

NEGOTIATIONS STOP.
Panama Will Get Along Without
Recognition from Argentina.

New York, Feb. negotiations be-
gun by Dario Herrero, representative
of Panama to obtain recognition of the
new republic of Argentina have been
indefinitely suspended, cables the Her
AIDS correspondent at Buenos Ayres.
Herrera has received from Minister of
Foreign Affairs Espirella at Panama,
the following:
cease your functions and suspend
negotiations for recognition. The gov
eminent thanks you for your work"
The action of the Panama government
is said to be due to the evasive answers
given by Minister Terry to Herrera,
showing that Argentina was not in
clined to recognize the new republic.

kYNER GOES FREE.
Suit Against Him for Libel Is
Dismissed

CrIppIe Creek, Col, Feb. 6.-The suit
for libel against George E. Kyner, pro-
prietor of the Victor Record, and sew
eral of his employees, brought by two
members of the Colorado National
guard who were referred to in an ar
ticle published in the Record as ex-
convicts, has been dismissed on motion
of the attorney for the defendant, for
lack of testimony. The defense offered
no evidence. The Record was the Off
cial paper of the Victor miners union
and shortly after the military assumed
control of the district consequent upon
the strike of the western federation of
miners, Kyner and a number of his
linotype operators were arrested and
placed in the bull pen. For some time
afterward the paper was under strict
censorship maintained by the officers
of the military.

One of the exceedingly instructive ex-

sources of Kansas and of the industries
growing out of these marvellous prod

play occupies three booths thrown to-
gether into one large one at the right

aisles. 1t is the enterprise of the mem
bers of three Topeka gas and oil COM
panies operating in the southern fields,
who went to the expense merely to pre-
sent in this exposition of Kansas re-
sources an industry that in the last
year has made a remarkable showing
and wonderful growth.
The three companies are all prosper
Gus concerns of ample capital, have no
stock or shares for sale. and are all
pumping oil for commercial supply.
They are the Franklin Oil company,
the American Oil and Gas company,
and the Federal Betterment company.

gress in the First district.
J. G. Slonecker has filed a protest
against Ed Heeney as Republican can
didate for presidential elector in the
First district. In addition to the
grounds which he set forth in protest
ing against the nomination of D. r.
Anthony, jr., for congressman, he takes
the position that district convention
cannot officially nominate a presiden-
tial elector.
The call for the state convention,
however, calls for the nomination of
only three electors-at-large, contem-
plating the selection of the others by
the congressional district conventions
Mr. Slonecker takes the position that
a district convention can only recon-
mend.
Captain B. Rockwell of Junction City
and s. H Hamilton of Washington
county are candidates for delegates to

There is a good deal of criticism
among the anti-Curtis people in the
First district over the fact that good
hotel accommodations were hard for
anti-Curtis delegations to secure. The
CITY hotel is run by Postmaster VIII
liams one of Mr.. Curtis appOintees.
The Holton people engaged rooms at
this hotel for some of the anti-Curtis
delegations, but two or three days be-
fore the convention they were notified
by the proprietor that he would have to
cancel the engagements, as he had to
look after his friends at the convention.
The rooms were given to Curtis men.
By that time the quarters at the Teers

had been engaged for the big Topeka
contingent. As the Topeka crowd did
