FOUR SOLDIERS In DURANGO.
Fort Riley Men Failed to Obey the
Orders.

Four Fl. Riley soldiers are in jail
and have been there since Saturday
afternoon. They were ordered up for
inspection but instead Of reporting
they took the westbound train. The
marshal was notified to catch them
and did so but no one had come for
them up to noon today. Evidently
the Fort officers don't care very much
what happens to them. They will be
released il something does not turn

GAS PEOPLE TO APPEAL.
Not Pleased With the Decision of
Judge FIannelly.

Chanute, Kan, Dec. I'D. NJ. Ken
nedy, president of the Kansas Natural
Gas Protective association, referring
to the decision of Judge Flannelly.
said:
1.-The Kansas Natural Gas Protective
association is a law abiding body and,
of course, it proposes to stand by the
courts, but we are going to appeal
from the decision of the judge at
Oswego. We believe that the gas in
terests of the state belong to the
state; we believe that Kansas gas was
intended for Kansas and we are going
to stand by that belief. But we are
not going to resort to Iawlessness to
accomplish our demands. We believe
in the law of the land and we are go
ing to stand by the decisions of the
courts. There has been a common i'm
preston that in case the decision of
the judge at Oswego was against US,
we would counsel violence, but moth
ing is further from our purpose.
1--WE are going to fight the PROPOSE
ton to pipe gas out of the state to the
last ditch and we are going to keep
fighting as long as there is a hope
left, but when the courts tell US to
stop we are going to stop. Just what
we will do in the face of the decision
of Judge Flannelly, we will decide in
a few days. We had the advice of
some of the ablest lawyers in the state
before we went into this fight. The
gas pipe line people say they will have
their lines out of the state before we
can do anything, but we may have
something to say in a day or so.''

REVENUE RECEIPTS LARGER.
Returns From Internal Taxes Show
Increase of Two Millions.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The annual
report of John w. Yerkes. commits
sioner of the internal revenue bureau,
shows that for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1904, the receipts for the bu-
reau were 1892, 1904, an increase of
$2163,O79 over the collections for the
year next preceding. The estimated
receipts from all sources of internal
revenue for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1905, are 230 million dollars.
The leading states in the payment of
internal revenue taxes for the last year
are: Illinois, 52,464,271; New York,
$26,375,125; Indiana, $24, 81;
kentucky. $21,757,73S; Ohio. $21,-
091,416; Pennsylvania, 1854, $40. In
1903 the total production of distilled
spirits was 148,2O6,S7 gallons; in
1904, 139, 9,5O5,214 gallons. There has
been a decrease in the amount of to-
bacco manufactured and an increase
in the snuff manufactured. There was
an increase in the production of beer.
On the subject of wood alcohol Mr.
YerkeS says:
s'The recent death in New York
city of several men, caused, as alleged,
by drinking in a saloon liquor sold as
whisky which in fact was a liquid COM
posed largely of wood alcohol and
colored so as to resemble whisky, has
been brought prominently to the atten-
ton of the public. There is no tax
upon wood alcohol, and, therefore, no
record of it's manufacture or sale is
does it come within the scope of the
inspection or regulations of this Office.
Unless by legislative enactment, the
use of ethyl alcohol free of tax in the
arts and manufactures should be
granted. then this Office submits for
consideration the propriety of the i'm
position, through necessary legislation,
of a tax on wood alcohol to an amount
sufficient to place the two articles,
wood and ethyl alcohol, on a basis of
eQualitY.''

the coroner's inquest on Elverton R.
Chapman of New York city, who COM
mitted suicide on the evening of No
vember %, at the Carleton hotel, by
throwing himself from the third floor

of friends showed that Chapman while
in Paris exhibited signs of derange-
ment. He therefore was closely
watched at the hotel. but eluded the
vigilance of his attendant. and sue
ceeded in throwing himself into the
vestibule. Chapman never recovered
consciousness. Prior to committing
suicide his last act was to hand his
banker letters addressed to his father
and sister expressing regret If they
had any disagreements in the past and
wishing them long and happy lives.

ORsBoRN HAS HARD LUCK.
Santa Fe Man at Arkansas City Is
Pursued bY a Jonah

j. A Orsborn. a Santa Fe employe in
the roundhouse at Arkansas City met
with a serious accident one day last
week from which he VIII lose three hng-
eTs of his left hand. He is in the Santa
Fe hospital at Topeka undergoing
treatment Orsborn seems to have a
jonah. He has had a string of hard
luck. Shortly after he reached Arkan-
sas City he had a severe attack of fe-
yer. After he recovered he secured a
place in the Santa F'e shops and after
working a few nights strained his back
so that he was laid up for three weeks.
He went back to work and in a little
while he struck himself with a monkey
wrench while working on an engine, and
severely cut his left hand. Now he has
lost three fingers of the left hand. His
last accident happened while he was
watering an engine. As he was climb
ing down from the tank he lost his bal
ance and fell to the ground. The en-
gine ran over his hand and mashed the
fingers.

RAILWAY TO AID IRRIGATION.
Santa Fe VIII Try an Experiment in
Arizona.


The purchase by the Santa F'e railroad
Phoenix and adjoining the NJ. and P.
tracks on the south side may prove a.
great boon to farmers of that vicinity,
SayS the Phoenix Enterprise. The proper
ty purchased comprises what is known a.
the Shaw ranch and adjoining property.
The plan of the Santa Fe is to erect on
this one of the largest pumping plants in
this section of the country, with pumping
power sufficient to water entire sec
ton of land.
The company is operated by money from
the Santa Fe railroad and the Standard
Oil company is known the Maxwell
Purchasing company 1t appears that
Hon. George H. Maxwell was the orig
inator of the idea and is the executive
head of the new proposition. The Broom
ell brothers, from whom Maxwell bought
his ranch two years ago, are in active
charge of the new deal. Within the next
few days they will order from Los An
geles a new pumping plant, outfit and ma
soon practicable. 1t is the plan of the
company to purchase a section of land in
all All water not used on this land will
be sold TO farmers adjoining.
NJ. A. Stanford whose 40-acre ranch ad-
joins the Santa Fe property, has already
be supplied by the new irrigation pump
ing plant
The land which will be watered by the
new enterprise is fertile and is considered
in one of the best agricultural sections of
the valley.
Oil will be used as fuel, which will be
furnished at a minimum cost by the
Standard Oil company since they are in
terested in the scheme, and freight the
oil will be free on account of the proper
ty being under Santa Fe mana cement.
Just what the final object Of the new
scheme is no one can say.
