Dog Sat 1t Through.

The little shepherd dog that is wont
to sit on the seat of Donly & SCOTS
delivery wagon, and to assume faith
ful air, was in runaway all by himself
last week. The crack of the engine of
a passing. automobile scared the deliv-
cry horses. They were not tied, and
the faithful little dog was on the seat.
The.team broke and ran north, but the
dog sat -undismayed. The first crossing
was reached, the wagon bounded high,
but the canine driver landed all right,
and kept his seat. The horses ran an
other block and over another crossing
and finally slowed up and stopped at a
house where accustomed to make deliv-
cries, and no damage was done. When
the driver came running up, the little
fellow jumped gaily about and wagged
his tail in glee, as though he took in
the situation fully and rejoiCed at the
happy outcome with his master.

HORTON SHOPS SHUT DOWN
ROCK ISLAND LRTs OUT EoRR NEK Oh
TIE KANSAS DIVISION.
From $50 to soo shop Men AGsosed By
this Retrenchmeut POliey-BaIlasta and
Section Gangs Reduced-GOSdlaad
shops Increasing in work.

The Rock Island railroad in purSua ncs
of its policy of cutting down running
expenses, last Thursday laid off about
1 200 employees on the Kansas division,
shutting down the Horton shops.
At the shops the number of men laid
of is between $50 and 500. The three
ballast gangs which have been at work
on the division were taken OF Wednes-
day night and the men discharged.
The three gangs aggregated more than
Us men, most of whom were Greeks
and Italians. All of the section gangs
in the state were reduced for the winter
Wednesday night, throwing about 800
more men out of employment and max
ing the grand total of about 1 1000 men
laid of during the two days of last
week.
The Horton Commercial says: "a
notice was posted in the back shops
yesterday afternoon "wednesday to
the effect that effective September p.
the locomotive department of the Hor-
ton shops will be closed until further
notice. This will not affect the men
in the car department. F."
W. o. NeviI, formerly trainmaster of
this division, but now of the Kansas
division with headquarters in Topeka,
is quoted as saying in regard to the
matter:
81 do not know why the Horton
shops were shut down OF the extra
gangs laid of. In my opinion the
shops will be reopened in two weeks
or so. There are about $50 or 500 men
employed in the Horton shops. They
will all be back at work before the mid
die of October
It is estimated that 800 men are
thrown out of employment by the re-
duction of the section gangs. The
force on every section in the state
was reduced. In most cases each
gang now only numbers two men, the
foreman and one labOrer. The gangs
are usually reduced every fall but the
order to this effect does not usually
come until about December I.
The GoOdland shops reopened August
1, after a shutdown of three weeks is
now filed with the hum of busy work
ers. It was understood last week that
Martin Douglas, boilermaker foreman
when the shops were closed, had been
asked to come to Goodland again, and
to take his old place, which of course
means that the bOilermaker force would
be increased. Two newIlocomOtive fire
man and one machinist were hired last

At the Kansas WESLEYAN.

From Salina Journal
A thirty per cent increase in the at
tendance at the Kansas Wesleyan uni
versary at commencement of the pres
ent term speaks well for the manage
ment. More students are in attendance
now than at the close of the fall term
last year. Many of the old students are
yet to come.
DR.. Cleveland's donation of a thous-
and volumes to the library are expected
in a few days. The students have a
warm spot in their hearts for the doctor,
and those who took literature under
him when he was pastor of the Salina
church, regard that as one of the ex-
cePtiOnal privileges Of their life.
The rooms 10 the four-story domitory
are being flied as rapidly as the car
penters can do the work and sixteen
girls have located in the new building
and are subject to the rules of the mat
ron, Miss Shepard, from New York,

REEDER AND THE "sARREL.'
Extra Dollars for the Fight OF the sixth
Tfsfricf Cnnrrassnnnn


District Congressman
Dan Dyer, the Topeka Capital man,
has been in Goodland. One might
think that Dan had been drinking bad
whisky, to read his report that Senator
Long was dropped down into
Goodland by Reeder to open the
latter's campaign. He says our Sixth
district Congressman also brought
a few of the leading politicians
of his territory to whOOp 'er up. "Bfll"
is pretty smooth and a good general,
but not so good chess player as all
that. According to Dyer, his hero is
going to do rather an unusual thing
this camPaign-to fight his battle with
other fellows money. Dyer, under a
Goodland date, says:
CIV. A. Reeder has received from Mr..
BabcOck, chairman Of the national con-
gressional committee, assurances of ex-
ira financial aid in his fight for re-elec-
ton to congress. The Sixth is one of
the Kansas districts which. have been
chosen by the democrats as good fight
ing ground in their campaign to wrest
the house of representatives from the
republicans. 1t has been carried by the
republicans since 1898 only because the
democrats and PoPulisrs have been di-
vided. This year the opposition
leaders believe they have a tight
fusion and they are to have help from
Taggart and Cowherd.
Neither side has received the prom
ised cash yet, but Mr.. Reeder has sur
plus in his own political fund and with
the instinct of the veteran .campaigner
he is forcing the fight early. His scheme
is to have things coming his way be-
fore the enemy gets started. The re-
publicans Of the Sixth district are not
all of one mind in the choice of Mr.
Reeder for congress. Until this year he
has had to fight for his denomination.
Twice the convention has been chosen
against him, but by superior general
ship and the shrewd use of federal pat
rOnage he has won. There are other
ambitious men in the district besides
Mr.. R eeder and they will throw him
down if they can. Failing to defeat
him before the convention they will
seize the first opportunity to overcome
him before the. people and get together
two years afterward- on a new man.
Mr.. Reeder understands this and so it
behoves him to set the prairies ahreI
and hold the insurgents in awe early in
the campaign
What Reeder will need on election
day more than money, is-vetes.

Back from Sweden.

Mr.. and Mrs. Swan Nelson returned
from a six months visit to old home
scenes in Sweden. Swan brought with
him six young Swedes who viii be-
come citizens of this country. A good
many years ago Mr.. Nelson came across
the waters, and since hen he has had
only an occasional opportunity to use
his native tongue; but he declares that
when he got back to Sweden he had to
learn over again many of 1.-THE ms and
outs and forms of expression of the Ian
guage. Mrs. Nelson appears much
benefited by the trip, as does also Mr..
Nelson, for both had worked hard for a
long time to get a good start in Sher-
man county. Now they are comfortably
situated, and do not have to contend
with the obstacles that naturally beset
the inhabitants of a new country.

Last week the Republic contained a
notice Of the withdrawal of John W
Tibbels as candidate for representative
on the democratic ticket. The state
ment in the article that Mr.. Tibbels had
filed his withdrawal with the county
clerk was incorrect, the writer suppos-
ing that he had done so.
As to the article signed by Mr.. lib
bles, Withdrawing as a candidate, it
was exactly as handed in to this Office,
and It was expressly understood by Us
that he desired it published, and, in
fact, he made the order to publish it;
but it seems that he wanted It withheld
until after the committee met Saturday.
Any error made by not fully under
standing Mr.. Tibbel's wishes Is regret
ted, and we sincerely hope that he will
remain on the ticket. He did not want
nor seek the Office. He has large stock
and real estate interests in the county
and, moreover, ne is here to stay. He
resided only few months in Colorado,
and was there only on account of the
health of his daughter. He is a western
Kansas man. An Oberlin paper has
this to say of him:
I'VE were pleasantly surprised on
Monday to have ]. W. Tibbels, the
GoOdland banker, walk into our Office.
Mr.. Tibbels lived Is years in this coun-
ty and has a host of friends that are
always glad to see him. Mr.. Tibbels
has been nominated by the pops and
democrats of Sherman county for rep
resentatiye, and If the. people of that
county want a good, solid representa-
tive in the legislature, they win surely
vote for Tibbels, for few men are better
fitted by nature and business experience
for this position than is friend TiBbels,
and we certainly hope he may be elect
ed, for if he is, we are certain that J.
Ralph Burton will never get his vote for
the senate"

i'Mr. Crocker's death was due to ap-
opIezy. On Wednesday afternoon,
just previous to supper time, he COM
planned of a severe pain in the back of
his head. A moment later he fell over

stefan was at once called but when he
arrived ne was past help.
The deceased was well known IN
this place, and for years was an engi-
neer Oh the Lehigh Valley railroad, hav-

leap in Phnlipsburg last Friday re-
suited in the drowning of Mrs. S. B.
Hendricks, IN the Rock Island lake.
The balloon ascension was advertised as
one of the chief attractions Of the Phil

had prevented the performance until
Friday. At $50 O'Clock In the evening
the inflated balloon shot upward. Just
before the ascent, Mr.. Hendricks kissed
his wife good bye, and when up a ways
she called ont, "Hurrah for Roosevelt. -
The balloon drifted northeast, and
when above the lake, high IN the air,
Mrs. Hencricks made the leap, doubt
less thinking she could swing the par
achute away from the lake, but her
efforts failed and she was buried under
the parachute in 20 feet of water, and
100 feet from the shore. The people at
once saw the impending danger and
ran to the lake. Good swimmers and
bOatmen raced with death to rescue the
body before too late. The body was
towed to the shore in the entanglements
of the parachute, and the utmost efforts
of two physicians for four long hours to
resuscitate the unfortunate woman were
unavailing.
