Revenue Collector Has Made the Ex'
press Office Patrons Nervous.
The "divy" plan boys who have been
syndicating to get various and divers ex-
press packages pried loose from G. O. D..
fastenings at the Dodge City offices have
been nervously watching the movements
of Capt. Sweeney, the deputy revenue
collector of late. The belief that the
Captain has been keeping cases upon the
syndicate parties, and that he has de-
signs upon the promoters has become
prevalent. Legal opinions have been in
demand regarding whether or not the
party who allows bis name used as con-
sgnee for a shipment of booze must
have a revenue stamp. For the benefit
of the nervous the following consoling
advice is offered:
If you order a shipment Of booze and
"dlvide" by taking up collection later,
the sale is made here and you are the
seller, and in consequence the govern
ment can cinch you for selling whisky
without government stamp But you
don't have to do the thing that way
You can take up your collection first
send your money in, and the sale Is made
in Missouri and the government can moi
touch you. OF course the state law cal
make 1t hot for you for merely giving
away driuk and if you are monkeylne
with the stuff you are pretty certain tc
get into trouble, but still with the above
information at hand you have the colI-
solng thought that you will not b'
handled by the government in case yol
prefer to be jugged by the state law. l

five months intervened between the time
of organization and the first assessment

had forgotten all about the matter The
result was a large falling Oft IN numbers

BUNCH OF QUAILS

A bunch of guails of the California
species was seen a few days ago or
the ranch of W. A. Mauzee in the
Boggs Flats country
They were very tame and came up
to the stable to feed with the horses.
There were about dozen Of them
and are only a part of a large flock
that make their home in the edge of
the ced4r hills.
In fact there are lots of quail along
the foot hills and in the sheltered
places. Under the state law the
quails are protected from the ravages
Of the sportsmen, and thus they are
multiplying. Last winter was mild
and very favorable to the quail family
hereabouts and the increase is no.
ticeable.
Some of them are of the Bob
White species while others are of the
California, the latter predominating.
1t is said that some quail shooting Is
being done on the sly but the deputy
game wardens and others are keeping
close watch and will prosecute any
and all violators Of the game law to

SOME observing railroad officials
claim that the cause of go many ac-
cidents on the railroads lies in the
fact that the steel tires on the drive
wheels of the engine become SO heat
ed through friction when the breaks
are applied in full force, that they
slip and do not perform their duty of
stopping the trains which are coming
together in collision. The public
has come to think that train Dispatch
ers and engineers, and once in awhile
a switchman, are at the bottom of the
trouble, too, and the public has a
right to demand that the railroad
companies look after the qualifications
and conditions of their men, as well
as after the condition of the wheels
Of the engine and the principle in

A Little Outcast.

az Little Outcast" comes to the
Grand Sunday matinee and night.
Soon it will not be difficult to under
stand why it has been the biggest
success OF its kind on the road for
the past two seasons. 1t is a play
written in an interesting and appeal
ing style, involving some ingeniously
devised situations. offering fine op-
portunitics for the scene painter and
costumer, and more than good ones
to the actor.
The characters are neatly drawn,
the dialogue is witty and the entire
play passes off to ripping accom-
paniment OF laughter and tears. "A
Little Outcast," the story of New
York waif is a play for all classes,
it shows one how the world lives and
every scene is true to life, depicting
the pleasure, misery and crime in the
crowded sections OF New York as
well as that misery and grief hidden
in the mansions OF "Millionaires'
Row"

HELP is NEEDED

There is shortage of help at the
steel works, and especially is there a
a scarcity of common laborers, men
who work in the yards and do general
service This kind of labor is the
cheapest in the works and pays 81 as
per day, but just the same, there are
number of able bodied men Ioafing
on the streets who ought to take the
job.
Skilled labor is also needed in some
of the departments, the machine shop
and foundry being short handed in
particular. When the jobs begin to
look for the men it is good sign Of
