MIR. HANNA is HERE.
Lieutenant Governor Has Been Pay
ing Little Attention to Politics.

Lieutenant Governor D. J. Hanna is
IN Topeka today for the first time since
the adjournment of the special session
or the legislature last June. He was
busy all summer and fall selling real
estate, and more recently he has been
establishing a new bank at Morland
Graham county, in which he is inter-
ested. He has been paying little atten-
ton to politics. He came down to To-
peka last night to attend the anti
machine conference at the National.
The boys seem to think 1 have been
out in the woods all during the recent
political developments" he said, "and
/ guess that's so. I've had too much
business on hand to do anything with
politics. All last month I was up there
at Morland, in the west end of my
county getting our new bank started.
THE car famine last summer and
fall turned out to be a good thing for
our wheat raisers after all. We had a
great deal of trouble in getting any
cars at all. The Union Pacific gave
most of them to points where they had
competition and We got left The con-
sequence was that a lot of our farmers
had a good deal of wheat left on their
hands when this big rise came, just
because they had not been able to get
cars in which to ship 1t. That little
town of Morland handled 5000, 600 worth
of wheat the past season before it got
a bank, and even now it is averaging
1,5o0 bushels of wheat a day and keep
ing it up.
''Our new wheat crop is all right 50
far, but we would like some rain. 1t
can perhaps get along for two weeks
longer, but March is the critical month
with wheat. If it should continue dry
and be windy as it usually is, the dirt
would be blown away from the roots
of the wheat"

Kansaa. COLORADO snit.

The Kansas-Colorado litigation will
come up in the United States supreme
court in April. That has been agreed
upon by the attorneys on both sides.
At that time a special master will prob
ably be appointed by the supreme court
to take testimony in the case, and it
will probably require several months to
take the testimony, which will involve
the flow of the Arkansas river both
before irrigation was started on a
large scale in Colorado and at the pres
ent time. 1t will probably be next fall
or winter before a decision can be made
by the United States supreme court,
and it may be even longer.

Post Dispatch: The beef trust which
has been knocked out, killed. dissolved,
etc, by state and federal courts, makes
the railroad companies cry out in pain
The trust owns its own cars which
gives the concern an advantage when
bargaining among competing lines. A
rental is expected for the use of the
cars and high mileage rate. The
roads kick and fight but what can they
do? The trust cares not what line car
ries the meat, since it will be carried
by one or other of them. It commands
the situation and may increase its
exactions without fear of effective OPP
position. 1t is a most remarkable state
of AFFAIRS, a trust which is not a trust,
a combine dissolved, a monopoly de-
clared dead by the courts-if such a
negative of all that is positive can
cause so much anguish what may not
a trust do that is alive and able
bodied?

Alcohol and Insanity.

The attention of those who take a
little something for their appetite and
of those who have not yet reached the
stage in which the hideous things Of
nature become visible is respectfully
called to the report of DR.. J. Percy
Wade. superintendent of the Maryland
Hospital for the Insane, who declares
that there is an alarming increase in
the number of men who are afflicted
with insanity caused by the use of
alcohol. DR.. Wade also says that the
number of alcoholic patients is con-
stantly multiplying. Most people are
inclined to look upon the delirium ire
mems as something amusing, but the
aspect of the case pointed out by DR..
Wade has nothing conical about it. It's
extreme gravity should cause people
to stop and think. The alcohol habit
is growing. Possibly much of it is due
to the nervous tension of the times. but
whatever the cause, the effect should
be remembered when confronted by the
foolish persuasion that the high pres
sure of unnatural life can be relieved
by NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Her
aid.

Henry Hanser's Leg Broken.

Henry Hansen, one Of the en-
plOyes Of the New York store,
was thrown from the delivery
wagon near the home of 4. P.
Slocum Friday afternoon, and
sustained compound fracture
OF the bones OF his left leo. He
was picked up and carried to the
hospital where he was placed I'M
der the influence of chloroform.
The hospital being crowded, he
was taken to his room above the
store where he is receiving the
best Of care. Physicians reduced
the fracture which was a bad one.
One OF the pieces OF the bonep pro-
truded through the flesh. This
WILL cause the bone to heal very
slowly and it will be several
before he will be able to
work again. The horse which
Hansen was driving was a bad
one, which had run away eight
times previously.
