HUMOROUS QUARANTINE TALK.
Those Who Have Small P0x Nightmare
Report ouarautfne Of the Town


Report ouarautfne OF the Town
a phrenolOgist was once in Goodland,
and after calling mp a lot of boys on
the stage of the opera house, began TO
feel of the youngsters heads. He was
particularly interested in the bumps on
the Uranium Of one OF the boys, and
said If you would give that kid a jack
knife in the morning he would come
back in the evening with threshing
machine If any one rs capable of say
ing big things could have felt the bumps
on the head Of the recent small pox
rumOr that GoOdland was going to be
guaranteed by the state health officer,
he would have said that one little small
POx report would get out OF bed in the
morning and come back al night with
a pest house, and in It the entire pop
ulation OF the town.
Such a report IS not long in resolving
itself into long legs, short legs, fat legs
and lean legs. And IN consequence Of
this running report the whole town was
for short time set astir. Some prom
inent citizens, knowing the rumOr TO
have no foundation and wishing TO aIlay
the excitement, began chasing the small
pox germ back until they found to their
amusement that II had no legs At all
and was fat on its belly. And more
than that, the local health officer had
been holding a sulphur candle under its
nose until the little varmint was about
all in
So 1t goes. The cloud no bigger than
a mans hand may turn into a twisting
tornado; a shadow may paint a ghost
image on the eye; and two moons some
times rise over the city when there
ought 10 be but one.
The small Pox scare in GOodland Is
all scare. There are only three houses
where It exists, and the condition IS
much improved. To quarantine a town
of l,5OO inhabitants because small pox
is IN three Of the houses and those IN
der quarantine, would work great in
jury without excuse Talk Of quaran-
timing the town is of the same stuff that
dreams are made Of Those who are
given to such things should leave of
their mince pies for supper and nd
themselves of nightmare

CHARGED WITH BRIBERY.
Thomas Lsb0vr, Dewey EmpIoye, Tan
Eled in the NJ A Wilson Case

Ahplllas LeDoFTs Dewey Employ Tan
Eled I'm the NJ A Wilson Case
Thomas Lebow, an empIoye of the
Dewey Cattle company IN northwest
Kansas, was arrested IN Atwood last
week charged with trying to bribe Jurors
who were hearing the case of the state
against n. A. Wilson. which grew out
of the robbery Of the Rawlins county
treasury.
LebOw was taken by the sheriff to St.
Francis, where he win have his prelimi-
nary hearing on the charge of jury
bribing.
The information fled by the county
attorney against Lebow consists of three
counts. The three men who are said to
have been approached are Henry Greis-
Ter, Henry Weaver and J. K. Skeen.
The three men were on the panel Of
jurors drawn 10 hear the Wilson case.
but Skeen was the only man of the
three who served. Il Is charged that
the employee Of the Dewey ranch ap-
preached all three of the men prior to
the selection Of the twelve jurors to hear
the case.
This is the first time the Deweys have
been connected with the Wilson case.
The amount said TO have been offered
TO the jurors was only 500, but L. d.
Hotchkiss, county attorney OF Cheyenne
county, will exert himself TO obtain a
conviction in this case in the hope that
It will prevent anything like an approach
o the jurors who will hear the case
against ChaunCey Dewey in the Norton
county district court early in February.
The counts IN the case against Lebox
are similar except for the names Of the
jurors approached. They are sworn to
by the county attorney, 5Ir. Hotchkiss,
and recite the fact that about December
!, Lebow approached the jurors and Of
fered them presents Of 500 and dis
cussed the Wilson case with them and
that his action apparently was to infu-
ence the opinion Of the jurors in the
Wilson case.

Contest for the NominatiOn-Ssn-
atoriaI Convention to BE Held
At Colby, February Il.


The republican congressional COM
mittee Of the Sixth district met at Colby
Tuesday and set February % as the
date and Beloit as the place for the
holding of the congressional ccnven-
ton a full attendance of the CON-
mittee was present and much politics

legate from this county.
The following resolution was adopted:

send delegation TO the national con-
ventiOn pledged TO the denomination of.
our fearless and brilliant Roosevelt.
That we most heartily endorse the
efficient services OF our worthy Congress-
man, Hon. ". A. Reeder, and pledge
him our support"
J. E. Stevens, postmaster OF Good
land and an aspirant for the congress
ional nomination IN this district, SAYS
that though Secretary of State Burrows
was behind the Reeder resolution, it was
not TO be expected that AT the commit
tee meeting there should be any show
Of the strength OF the congressional
candidates. Il was simply a committee
meeting and the following OF himself
and that OF Reeder would be made at
Beloit.
When asked as to the attitude of
Burrows towards ReeCier and himself.
Mr. Stevens said: 'First OF all, Joe
Burrows is for himself. He viii try to
make a showing in the convention in
his own behalf, but Il Is understood be
tween him and Reeder that If he can
not secure the nomination, he viii
throw his support TO Reeder-''
Mr.. Stevens Is confident that he viii
have an even break with his opponents
when the time comes 10 make the race.
A personal poll Of the committeeman
present on the candidatey for governor
stood 20 for HOch and for Bailey.
The air was full of Hoch sentiment

E. Hall, OF Russell, as delegates 20 the
national convention and DR.. A B.

for the Hon. E W. HOch prevailed IN
this committee meeting that was mani
tested IN the congressional committee.

developed Every county IN the district

mirtee. but BY delegations Of visiting
statesmen and during the entire day

sheriff Bradley AID County Attorney Mar.
ply Destroyed Trophies.

The four gambling tables, which wen
seized upon warrant last week from th,
CuIIins billiard hall, were burned at thu
rear of @. L. Calvert's Office Wednes
day morning at $50 O'Clock. after III,
legal proceedings TO that end had beer
gone through
Il was hardly expected that anyone
would appear to offer protest and evid-
ence against the burning Of the prop
erty, although notices had been sent &C
A. L. Cullins, Louis Cullins and Others
connected with the billiard hall, sum
mOning them to appear Monday at the
trial and show cause why the tables
should not be burned according to Law
IN such cases
But County Attorney Murphy was
agreeabiy surprised when Louis Gull
lins appeared as defendant and laid
claim 70 one OF the articles Of furniture,
for his appearance was evidence that he
was materially interested IN the case,
also saying that ne was conducting the
billiard hall, and his defense therefore
threw the costs on him as defendant.
Attorney Murphy says that the costs,
amounting to about SO, VIII have to
be paid by Louis Cullins, as the law
PresCribes an attachment Of defendants
property, OF, II none can be found, TO
take the defendant himself into custody
and commit him TO jail to satisfy the
debt.
OF the four gambling tables Cullins
claimed one, which was a card and
drinking table with pockets arranged
at the corners for the reception Of emp
y glasses after the drinks had been
quafed- He said It was his personal
property and that il had been given
him by mis- brother, A. L. Cullins. His
defense was adjudged by the court 10
have no legs 20 stand on, and the one
table was ordered burned BY Police
Judge Floyd, with the other three not
claimed.
Quite a crowd was present at the
execution, % and the flames took as
good hold OF the condemned furniture
as though they had been used in the
orderly process OF starting a FIRE in a
cold room these mornings. Some one
Of the crowd who saw the utility end of
the matter, suggested that since coal
was so high II would be more TO his
liking If the tables were broken into
stove wood and passed around But
the man next 70 him said he was salts
fed, as II was a chilly morning and he
was capable of absorbing his share
right there. --,
This is the first instance IN the history
Of GOOdland that gambling furniture,
after seizure. was burned. Booze"

emPtied on the ground.

and terminates at LenOra, town IN the
southwestern part Of Norton county.
Reports of the extension of this line
through northwest Kansas, touching
Goodland, and then going on to Den
yer, have been of frequent occurrence
here, and It would be a matter Of little
surprise If the Le1Ora branch would be
extended west
It IS doubtful If there should be any
necessity for the continuance of the
road contemplated IN Line No. u as
far west as this county IN the event of
the building of ''Line No. 3" Con
nectiOns could be made at Lenora and
parallel lines by the same company thus
avoided
The building Of the road from Lenora
looks, as formerly, like Gould scheme.
For months It has not been regarded as
an improbability that something would
be done IN this matter, and even If the
GOulds are not now connected with this
scheme, the recent charter to build may
have the effect Of drawing them into It
IN earnest
The stub road of the Burlington with
its western terminus at St Francis has
done and Is now doing large business
and IS altogether a very profitable rail
road venture The same opportunity
for the Central Branch extension, while
its traffic would be more limited by
Rock Island competition. Is omen. and

The RAlLRoAD MAN.
Rev. 9. n. Woodward Tells About Him in
the Train Service.

It requires peculiar qualifications to
make a good railroad man. He must
be a man of courage Sometimes peo-
pie say, "Oh, they get used to danger
and don't think about it, When men
say that they show how. little they un-
derstand them.
There is no class OF men who are
called to think more and live in such
constant anxiety, for they know
that a careless act or want of thought in
themselves OF someone else might lead
them to death. They know their danger
but face It like men. It takes cool cour-
age for men to work well when they
know that it is only a step to death. He
must be a man that can think and act
IN a moment.
While living in a railroad town, the
writer changed places for a Sunday with
a brother pastor. In the opening prayer
the brother prayed for the noble railroad
men who went down to death with the
throttle in their hands. The uext day
I met an engineer who said: Elder,
when you want to 90 away again, Just
lock up and go; we don't want man
in your place who will tell the Lord what
a lot of fools we are. Go down to death,
nOthingl You tell him we shut of
steam, turn on the sand, set the brakes
and jump"
No man in any calling needs more
instant thought and action than a train
man-if he hesitates a moment, loss Of
life or property or both must ensue. He
should be perfectly trustworthy-the
business OF the company should be his
business, their interest should be his,
their welfare should be his welfare. The
success of the corporation depends in a
large measure on the excellence Of his
work. Millions Of lives and money are
entrusted to his care. If poor work is
done in the shops, on the road, OF on
the road, disaster must follow.
His habits should be like Caesars
wife, above suspicion. a cool head,
good judgment, instant action OF the
mind, are absolute necessities in the
character of a good railroad man, and
no one can possibly have these require
ments at all times who uses Intoxicating
liquors at all. The writer knows Of one
case where a glass Of liquor was the
probable cause of the loss OF one life
and fine engine And yet we are
bound TO admit that if any man has an
excuse for the habit, that man is the
trainman, cold, worn out, and often
OverwOrked.
In another letter may be able 10 FIX
the responsibility of the mems bad hab-
its IN a good degree on the companies
that employ them. / believe that no
class of men have had so much unde-
served oensure heaPed upon them as
the railroad men, and believe, in let
tiers to come, 1 can prove the charge. In
spite Of bad habits or short comings,
we can say right heartily, God bless
the railroad boys" In all my inter
course with them / have found them
friendly, kind hearted, generous to a
fault and ready to help in any good
wOrk.-Rev. Woodward in Phillipsburg
News.
