CattIemen Of Southwest Kansas
"Get Together
Meeting Here Showed That
Stockmen Will All Work
Together,

The cattlemen's convention last week
was all that had been hoped for The
attendance was good and everyone
seemed to be interested in forming an
active association and big start was
made on getting the cattle interests of
Southwest Kansas into an organization
for mutual assistance and protection.
The permanent organization of an as.
sociation to be known as THE Southwest
Kansas Cattle Growers association WAS
effected, w. ]. Fitzgerald being elected
president, H. B. Bell secretary and H.
Reeve of Finney county treasurer
Dodge City will be the headquarters of
the ASSOCIATION.
The following executive committee was
appointed. Charles Jackson, Hodgeman
county; Hermann Camm, Stevens coun'
ty; @. j. Brown, Flnney county; W. s.
Easton, Clark county; G. P. Allen,
Kearney county; D. 3 Ballard, Meade
county and O. j. Greenlsaf of Kiowa
county.
The territory to be covered is from
Reno county west, stretch eight coun-
ties wide and from Ness south to the state
line embracing four tiers Of counties,
thirtytwo counties In all
The plan Is for each county to have d
local organization from which represent
atlyes will besent to the meetings of the
Southwest Kansas association The as
soclation when completed will represent
thousand of cattlemen and ah immense
moneyed interest in Southwe.t Kansas.
The Independent Packing company
project will no doubt be backed by many
of the cattlemen in This territory az
one means of betterlng conditions,
The organization oftle Southwest Kan
sas Cattle Growers association have many
motives in view aside from the packing
company movement.
The first work of the association is TO
increase Its membership so that it will
include every cattle grower in the terri,
tory embraced. Then any matter which
maycome up will be handled The cattle
men have been getting a bad deal in a
number of ways and they believe with
proper organization and mutual aid they
can get the business back to q paying
basis once more.

BETTER TRAIN SERVICE.
Chance For Commercial Cub to Join
a Good Movement.

The Hutchinson commercial club will
try to induce the Rock Island to put in a
better train service between Hutchinson
and Dodge City. This movement is one
In which Dodge Is interested and the
commercial club here ought to confer
with the club at Hutchinson and help
push the thing along. The Hutchinson
News says of the movement.
"Ihere is to Oe movement started by
the business men Of Hutchinson to inter-
est the Rock Island road In running the
evening train west from Hutchinson to
Buck.in and Dodge City. There is but
one service weston the Rock Island at
this time, except the lnted train which
Is Of small importance to the local travel
west and which Is to be discontinued
about April II. From that time on there
will be but one train service west from
this city over the Rock Island, this being
the train which leaves here early in the
morning and comes in from the west
about midnight 1t is very poor SER
vice for the people west of here. The
train arriving here from the east in the
evening formerly run on 10 Pratt, but 1t
was discontinued because Of poor, patron.

has been an increase in the business
along the Rock Island to the west for the
past year and a growth in the popula.

morning makes all the stops at all the
places west and there is so much bust
ness for 1t to do that 1t Is impossible for

Citizens Ticket Was Without Opposi-
tion and Vote Was Small.

to the one ticket nominated in each ward
and AZ the election was one in which only
ward officers were to be selected.
The election places two new men on
the council and five new members on the
school hoard.
Mr. Fitzgerald Of the fourth ward and
Mr.. Feldmeir Of the second ward are the
new councilmen and the new members Of
the school board are H. A. Burnett, first

CHARLEY DEIs7ER ROBBED.
Two Men Relieved him Of Over a Hum
dred Dollars.

Charley Deister accepted an undesira-
Bile proposition last Thursday night but
he had a valid excuse for SO doing. The
persuasive power Of a longgllttering six-
shooter was brought into argument. Two
men met Deister late at night and pro-
posed that he hold up bis hands while
they searched him for money. They
ionnd $l2S, transferred it to their own
pockets and walked away. Deister at
the time of the robbery was on his way
home to the Churchill place from town.
He returned to town and later with Mr..
Northrup made a search for the robbers,
but nothing came OF the search. The
men were masked and there would be
little chance Of identifying them even If
they were caught. Monday Of this week
two strange men were arrested on sus-
picion but they were not the parties
wanted, Or at least nothing could be
found against them. One Of them, Mr..
Deister thought was about The and size
build Of one or the men that robbed him.
The other he thought was too small.

liean state central committee of Kansas.
dropped into Washington rather unex-
pectedly today, In company with NJ. A.
Low, he called upon Senator Long i'm
mediately after his arrival, The party
then went to the White house, where Mr..
Stubbs was introduced to President
Roosevelt.
During the discussion of the political
affairs of Kansas, the subject Of Senator
Burton's trouble was referred to by the
President. He told Mr.. Stubbs there
was not a bit of truth in the statements
made by the press that Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General BrlstOw was in any
way responsible for the prosecution of
the Kansas Senator.
VI do not want it understood that Gen.
eral Bristow has been using bis power of
office to send Senator Burton to the peni-
tentiary, said the president, 81 do not
know whether General Bristow would be
a candidate or not In the event Senator
BurtOn's seat was declared vacant, but
do know that he has made one of the
best and most faithful officers In the EN-
ploy Of the government"
The President, while be did not make
the statement intmated In the strongest
terms that should he himself be elected
President, Brlstow could hold bis job as
long as he desired
Leaving the White house, Mr.. Stubbs
went 10 the capitol, where he interviewed
each member Of the Kansas delegation,
He left for New York this evening,
where be has some business transactions
which brought him East His Washing
ton visit, he said, was only incidental.
"Kansas will give Roosevelt and Hoch
one of the old-tims Republican majori-
ties" said Mr.. Stubbs 1.-THE Kansas
people stand for decency and admire
courage. Not only will President Rooso
velt receive the full Republican vote, but
be will yet thousands Of democrats and
popuIists. Roosevelt stands for the pnri-
ty Of the public service and we admire
| him for the courage he has shown. There
are some developments In our state we
would like to forget, but you people In
Washington who know what type Of
American the Kansas people are really
ought to correct the Impression which
seems to prevail in some sections Of the
country. There was never cleaner man
than Hoch. Never In the history Of any
state was a candidate for Governor nom-
mated under such circumstances as Ed
Hoch. The people admired him not les'
for his recognized morality and integrity
than for bis courage.

NEW YORK IN CONTROL
of Pennsylvania Railroad
Shifts from Parent State to
Wall Street.

New York. Sept. 2O.-The statement
was made positively today in Wall
street that for the first time in the
history of the Pennsylvania railroad
which has a record Of fifty years of
consecutive dividend payments-more
of it's stock is held in this state than in
Pennsylvania. 1t is believed that the
increase of New York holdings is due
to heavy purchases by Rockefeller in
terests at the time of the issue OF
$75, 000, COO new stock, and since then
Wall street is asking whether the con-
troll of the great system does not actu-
ally rest in New York.
1t is learned on high authority that
the stock is now held in the following
proportions-there being slightly less
than $4,000 900 of the stock issued.
New York, So per cent, or sos. 0O0,-
900: Pennsylvania, % per cent, or S75.-
600, 900; foreign, 10 per cent, or $751;
0 10000; scattered, 81 per cent. or $63,-
600, 900.
The foreign holdings have been re-
duced in the past five years from 90
per cent. to 19 per cent. The reduc-
ton was brought about by sales by
Englishmen that they might subscribe
to the Boer war loan.
1t is announced on the highest au-
thority hat the Gould-Pennsylvania

essence Ct the Rockefellers, are to

FOUND MISSING LINK.
scientist Studies Java Apes That Lik,
Fire, But Have Not Learned
How to Make IL.

Brussels, Sept. 21.-The Soir says a
new animal, much resembling a.
monkey, but much nearer in, habits and
culture to man, has been discovered in
Java.
A merchant named Van Beuren, hap
pening to be lost in a forest, was
obliged to spend the night under a
tree on which. he discovered a giant
nest with Il circular opening measuring
eighteen inches in diameter. This nest
was occupied by a family of animals
much resembling the ordinary monkey
except that their heads were covered
With long brown hair.
On his return to civilization, M. Van
Beuren told an American scientist, DR..
Werdehouse, of his discovery. and they
returned together to the spot. where
they spent several months studying the
habits of the animals.
Contrary to the custom of monkeys,
these animals, which the natives cal
Asch Perriziz, are very fond of bath
ing, II the females usually adorn.
their necks with collars made from
fruit kernels. They take good care of
their little ones, but seem to be little
prolific and near extinction. They eat
fruits, birds eggs and fishes M like
to be near a fire, although unable to
light one
DIR. Werdehouse, who classified these
animals as hithecanthropes. has been
unable to capture any Of them, and,
had not the heart to kill one, even in
the interest of science. A scientific ex-
petition has been formed to explore the
island and capture one of the animals
If possible.
