MILK COWS BY MACHINE.
Device Used in Germany That Ought TO
Be Used IN Sherman County.

Device Used in Germany That Ought TO
Be Used IN Sherman County
More and more, dairying is being re-
duced to a science, and now upon the
heels of the cream separator, comes a
device for milking cows which, If It
were introduced into this county, would
make our farmers smile blandly and
give them the bouyant feeling Ofhaving
seized fortune by the fOrelock.
In the newly invented apparatus for
milking COWS by. electricity, +" writes S.
P. Warner, United States consular
agent TO Gera, Germany, rubber hoods
are attached to the udder of the COW.
These hoods are connected with a
vessel for receiving the milk by means
of a rubber tube, from which the air is
exhausted by means Of the electrical
device. It is claimed that the suction
thus secured resembles very closely to
the sucking of a calf, and that for this
reason the COW lets down her milk more
freely than when MIXED by hand. 1t
is also claimed that absolute cleanli-
ness Of the milk may be secured when
this method of milking is employed"

Rosebud Claims Did Not FAN 70 Anyoas
Frum This Place.
The drawing from the wheel Of fortune
at Chamberlain for claims in the Rose
bud reservation ended without turning
out name of any of the persons who
registered from Sherman county. The
drawing began July Is and ended so
far as the number of quarter sections
of land were concerned, July 81. About
2, 400 people were thus offered home
under the conditions previously pub
lished.
William Mccormick, of Lancaster
county, Reb., drew claim Mol. He IS
an ex-soldier Of the Spanish-American
war, and is p years old. His chance is
worth at least $4,000, as, It is under
stood. a railroad company has offered
that sum for claim No. 1.
A good many people who had regis
tered from Kansas drew claims, about
% from Brown county alone getting in
on the ground floor. One, Miss Anna
d. Odden, was the first woman to
draw a claim. She secured No. "a,
and is a clerk in a store at DentonvilIe,
Kan.
All the numbers will be drawn out
and forwarded to those who composed
the registration.

LOWEST LEVY IN OUR HISTORY
ECONOMY IN EEE COUNTY Ep1IBIs-
TRAITOR MAKEs TAXES LIGHT.
General Reduction OF the Tax Levy Froa
Seven Kills to Thirty-E1vs Nils
The County and Country Dls-
tFfctg Out u Debt.

The board OF comfy commissioners
met Monday, August 1, in regular ses-
sion to make the county levYs. to allow
court claims and to transact other bus
iness.
The commissioners, upon completion
of an examination of the records and
accounts of various funds, made gen
eral reduction of the tax levys ranging
from seven mills to thirty-dve mills
over those made in 1903. The levy
made Monday was for the 1904 tax year,
and a year ago when the lsvys were
made to collect the 1903 tax, a reduc-
ton was also made then. This lower
ing of the tax levy affects the entire
county, no part receiving a less reduc-
ton than seven mills, the part which
was bonded receiving the greatest cut
in levy. There was lowering Of the
state levy of one mill on account of the
reduction of the amount to be raised
this year by this county as state taxes.
The levys just made by the ~connty
commissioners are the lowest ever made
since the organization of the county,
and there will be a material reduction
in taxes on all kinds of property ia
Sherman county unless the city council
and school boards increase their leVys
over last year for city and school Pur-
poses, over which the county commits
sioners have no jurisdiction or control.
There are no outstanding county
warrants, for they are at par and are
paid by the county treasurer upon pre-
sentation.
The entire school bonded indebted
ness has been paid, except the Good
land city district, the only one that has
a bond outstanding. Only few years
ago nearly every district was under bond
for debt
Less than a year ago the county paid
of the state seed grain warrant, which
amounted to about s., 500.
This condition of things speaks well
for Sherman county. Its finances have
been handled in business-like manner,
and Sherman county to-day is in better
financial condition than any other
county in western Kansas.

RAILROAD FATALITIES.

Figures Show Immense Loss OF Life for
Year Ending June 50, 1908.
The figures of the annual report of
the interstate commerce commission on
the operations of railways present i'm
pressive totals of national prosperity.
For the year ending June 30, 1908,
there was an increase of 1928 in track
mileage the greatest construction since
1890.
The capitalization of the railways
made a total more than SI2, 500, 900, 600.
In the number of passengers carried
for the year the roads moved eight
times the population of the country.
Bat the more striking figures pre-
sented are of a different sort. While
swelling with pride over the magnificent
growth of the railways, we cannot over
look the awful record Of the manned
and mangled and dead-a total of
Sc, 1893 injuries inflicted, of which $50
were fatal.
OF the dead, 355 were passengers,
ten more than in the previous year; of
the injured 1921 were passengers, as
against 6,683 in the year before. The
other employees killed and hurt were,
one in every 123 lost his life, while one
in every 100 was injured.
The progress made by the railroads
in material development has been mag
nihcent beyond question. But the
price paid in human lives in stipend

HoLD-UP ON ROCK ISLAND.
Express Car Dynauaitsd 1t LoEan, n. h,
uBut Robbers Get No BOOty.S

Express Car Dyu1Euatsd nj LoE8n, n. II,
uBut Robbers Get No BOOty.S
Three bandits held up Rock Island
train No. 4, eastbOund, at Logan, n.
N, on the DaIhart division, and the
United States Express company's safe
dynamited, Saturday night at 9:45.
The robbers used two charges on the
through safe and as they had no more
dynamite and had only cracked the
outside vail of the safe, they gave up
the job without securing cent of booty.
The three men crawled on the en-
gine as it stopped at Logan, and with
drawn revOlvers ordered Engineer
George Walker to pull out. At the end
of the switchyard the robbers had the
mail and express car uncOupled from
the passenger coaches and pulled up
the track 400 yards distant, where the
bandits, taking with them the engineer
and fireman, walked back to the ex-
press car. One guarded each side of
the cars while the leader, with the engi-
neer assisting him under duress, did
the dynamiting and hunting for valu-
ables. All orders were given to Walker
in pleasant tone, and he was politely
thanked for each service performed.
Seeing the ridiculous side f5the situa-
ton in the midst of the impending
tragedy, the engineer and bandit by
this time were on good terms and jok-
ing each other.
Walker says the men, who were
masked with white handkerchiefs, were
armed with six-shoOters and Savage
rifles. He took them to be Mexicans,
although the leader spoke English.
A posse was soon made ready after
the robbery and pursuit given. The
train robbers were headed for Ute Pass,
a difficult place to dislOdge them when
once they reach that stronghold.

Chauncey Dswey's Contest Of His Fathers

The contesting of the viii of the late

his sister, may prevent the sale of his
western lands for an indefinite time.

In this connection It may be noted that
according 10 report the Barney Nc

Cattle company, is in process Of con-
veYance to q second party, the price
agreed upon being 81 per acre. -Four
hundred acres of this tract is-situated

The viii disPOses Of an estate esti-
mated at something like million dol

daughter, and after various other small
requests, the remainder of the estate is
directed to be divided equally between
his son Chauncey, and his private sec
retarY Charles z. Killen, of Chicago.
The viii was executed few days prior
to his death, and Mr.. Dewey's secretary
assisted in drawing it up. The contest
will be made on the ground that Mr..
