GOODLAHD GETS IT IN 1906
NORTHWEST KANSAS TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION TO MEET HERE.
A Sherman County Delegation OF
Eight Attended the Smith
Center Session.

The session OF the Northwest Kan
sas Teachers association. held at
Smith Center last week, was a notable
one -Four hundred teachers we're
present 10 take part in the discussions
and to listen to sledge-hammer blows
by speakers who tried themselves in
their emphasis Of good citizenship and
civic purity
Besides many excellent papers and
discussions from members Of the as
ISOLATION bearing directly upon ques-
tons OF school work and kindred sub
jects, there were several lectures Of
great merit by such men as Governor
HOch, Prof. HOuck, assistant state
superintendent, Of Pennsylvania, Prof.
Steiner Of Chicago university, and one
or two professors from each Of the
state schools, the university, state
normal and agricultural college
Judge Smith Of this judicial district
was present, not only at the general
session where he gave an excellent ad-
dress, but he also took an active part
in the high school session
The central thought Of this years
meeting was good citizenship and civic
purity. The names Of HOch, Folk and
Teddy were cheered to the echo in
season and out OF season. 1t wasn't
a political demonstration, however,
but a demonstration for the men who
are hammering at the ribald ranks OF
our country and their evil cunning and
institutions.
The Sherman county delegation Sc
cured the next years meeting OF the
association for GOOdland. This is
good fortune for the teachers Of this
part Of the state as well as for the
people Of our city that have the cause
Of education at heart
Those who attended the association
meeting from this county were= James
P. Phillips, S. V. Mallory, Nellie
Marks, Verna Radenbauch, Agnes
Miller, Efie Grouse, Mabel Thompson
and JEANNE Cuthbertson.

up AND OUT OF BRO CITY
GENE ANTRIM, a SHORT GRASS"
BOY, Is MAKING HIS MARK.
From a Western Baseball TvirIer to
Pastor OF Big Church In
Massachusetts.

The Topeka State Journal, in speak
ing OF the men from Kansas who are
leaders in affairs in many states Of
the union, has the following regarding
Gene Antrim, a Bird City, Cheyenne
county boy, who has done things up
brown, from twirling an irresistible
ball. TO preaching an irresistible gOs-
pei in his mighty way:
There seems to be something about
the ozone Of the Kansas prairies that
makes leaders Of those who breathe it
As an instance: Something over
dozen years ago a yoUngster lived up
at Bird City in the extreme north
western corner of the state, a region
that even now is regarded as the ex-
IRENE limit Of civilization He was
a joyous. irrepressible youth, with an
arm that manifested a disposition to
put speed and a curve on a baseball,
and when the Bird City nine went
over to wipe up the earth with St.
Francis is was Gene Antrim's curves
that did the business Later he went to
Salina to attend the Kansas Wesleyan
university, and while keeping at the
head OF his classes he found time Incl
dentalIy TO make the Abilene and
Lindsborg baseball teams the same
sort Of trouble he did the one at St
Francis In the course Of time ne
went out to Denver university to COM
plete his education. and before he was
through his second year the boy from
the Kansas prairies had outstripped
his mountain comrades so far that he
represented Colorado in the interstate
oratOricaI contest held in Topeka that
year. and was the recognized leader in
Denver university in most other lines
From Denver he went to Boston for a
theological course, and before he was
80 years old he was filling the pulpit
OF one Of the largest Methodist
churches in usetts-at Spring
held-where he has since been, and
he is coming to the front as one Of the
leading Methodist divines Of New Eng
land"

ATWOOD COURT HOUSE BURNS
FIRE THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEssN
OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN
Building Burned to the Ground and
Many Valuable Records Are
Destroyed.

A fire which totally destroyed the
Rawlins county court house at At
wood in the early hours Of the morn
ing Tuesday, and which has done
thousands OF dollars Of damage to the
people Of Rawlins county in the de-
structiOn OF many valuable records, is
thought to have been Of incendiary
origin But no clue to the guilty party
is known. An investigation will be
made The insurance on the building
and contents was $4,000
The alarm was given by Joe Besch-
er, when the fire first appeared from
the windows Of the Offices Of the reg
lister Of deeds and clerk Of the court
It was discovered about the same
time by others, but the IRE had gain
ed too much Roadway, and the peO-
pie OF the town were utterly pOwerIess
TO stop it
The loss is one that can never be
estimated in dollars and cents as there
was a number Of valuable records for
which there was no room in the safes
and the same have been destroyed.
In the registers Office, Mr. Turner
states that two miscellaneous deed
records, two patent records, one mort
gage record and numerous other rec
ord books were burned In o. A
OlsOn's- office all the files in the cases
ever brought and pending in the dis
trict court and numerous valuable
records were burned
In the county clerks Office, H W
Robertson says it is impossible to tell
to what extent the loss Will reach, but
that the most valuable records are in
the safe.
In the treasurer's office the tax rolls
for all years, except this year, and
the delinquent tax records for all
years previous to 1893 were destroy
ed

CALVERT OFFERED TO BET.
That Sherman County Is Greater Corn
Country Than Illinois.


County Attorney @. L Calvert re-
turned Tuesday morning from q trip
east, during which he visited points in
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and uli-
nOis- He was nj Kansas City the day
the big foot ball game was pulled on
between Kansas and Missouri. There
was at least one conspicuous thing
about the game" says Calvert ''It
was too brutal to be a manly sport,
and IL looked to me as though pugi-
Iism is a gentlemanly art in cOmpar-
ison." He jOurneyed as far east as
Princeville, Ill, to spend a day with
his youngest sister, whom he had not
seen for twenty years On his way
home he met in Lincoln, Neb., c. P.
Russell and J. 7. Lane, former resi-
dents OF Sherman county. MI Lane
had a tree claim just west Of La
Blanche. Q. p. Russell at first located
in VOltaire and later was cashier Of
the Russell Bros. bank in GOOdIand.
The bank liquidated and the Russell
brothers went to southern Mexico,
where they operated a rubber planta-
ton CAP Russell has lived in Lin
coin for several years, and is at pres
ent treasurer Of the Automatic Tele-
phone company.
Mr.. Calvert, being a real estate man,
very naturally made a few obserya-
tons upon Illinois crops and land.
Some places the corn was better than
in Sherman county, Kansas, but he
said he saw plenty Of corn in that
great favored state that didn't excel
this short grass section in yield. On
1925 per acre land, corn was yielding
not more than IS bushels, and he told
a prosperous looking tiller Of the soil
that If he couldn't find better corn in
many places in Sherman county
which he named-he would give him
the land OF course Calvert had a
''cinch-' and didn't give away any
thing, because the great state Of ''Illi-
nois,' backed down.

ANEW. ELEVATOR is. ASSURED
f. VI. FOX WILL BE PROPRIETOR
CONTRACT LET.
---UzuSs
To Be i'm Operation In -Four Weeks,
and VIII Hold 10000 Bushels
OF Grain.

In four weeks from now another
elevator Will be towering into the air
along the Rock Island side tracks in
GOOdIand. F. NJ. Fox Of Smoky town
ship will be the proprietor, and the
new concern will be known as THE
Farmers Elevator
P. H. PeIkey Of Wichita has the
contract for the construction Of the
building and equipment. The mater
ial that has to be shipped in, is now
in transit, and it is expected that the
eleatOr viii be ready for operation in
about a month.
The site granted by the Rock Is
land for this building is a plot Of
ground along the north siding east Of
the depot, and near the Walker &
Jackson grain buying station. The
structure will be IS feet square, 80
feet above the ground and 16 feet be-
low the ground, which will give il an
altitude Of 46 feet from the bottom
Of the dump to the top Of the eIeya-
tor It viii be equipped with ma
chinery Of the latest type, eight-hOrsc
power gasoline engine, scales, tests.
etc, and will cost complete $4,000.
AiF. Fox, who formerly was in the
elevator and grain business in Polk
county, Nebraska, from which place
he emigrated to Sherman county &
good many years ago, has economic
and valuable ideas as to the construc-
ton Of elevators. Instead Of shoot
ing one far into the arr, ne shoots
il both ways. The main dump viii
consist of an excavation, bottomed and
walled with cement, holding 5000
bushels. and the bins above will be
constructed to hold 1000 bushels
more, which viii give the elevator a
capacity Of 1000 bushels Of grain.
There will be no elevated driveway,
but simply a straight pull on to the
scales, which Will be placed close by
the dump. A little Office will be
tucked in at a convenient place, and
while the elevator will possess a
large capacity it will also look as
sung as a bug in q rug"
Since this western country has
turned from the error Of its ways and
rendered the devotion Of toll to the
production of wheat and corn, its
conversion is destined to be far more
marvellous Of result in the future than
it has in these very recent years, and
hence the elevator and grain business
viii not starve amid the very center
Of a rapidly extending and prolific
wheat field.

COUNTY POOR FARM is SOLD
SOLD TO HIGHEST BIDDER AND
BOUGHT BY E. J. DAWSON.
Money From This Sale VIII Be Used
to Erect Poor House North
OF Town.

The poor farm belonging TO Sher-
man county, situated nine miles west
Of GOOdland, was sold at auction sale
at the court house Saturday, and
brought the handsome price Of $1,7z5
or almost 81 per acre. This property
consists Of 159 acres, improved to the
extent Of an ordinary dwelling house,
wire fence on three sides, and cult
waited land The county commission
ers who conducted the sale Of the
place had it auctiOned on to the high
est bidder George Bradley was the
auctiOneer, and he had among the
crowd Of prospective buyers, two
spirited bidders, William Seyler and E
J. Dawson, the latter being the man
ager Of the poor farm They con-
tinUed killing each others bids IN
til the S1,725 mark was reached, when
SeyIer dropped out, and Dawson was
declared to be the purchaser Of the
place. The terms Of the sale were:
ORe-half cash, the other half on time
with interest Mr. Dawson gave the
commissioners a check for half Of the
amount, and accepted the privilege Of
paying the rest on the time provision.
This poor farm" was purchased by
the county commissioners a number
OF years ago, and has been unhandy
by reason Of its distance from Good
land. 1t lies only a mile from Rule
ton, and is considered to be a choice
farm. About 100 acres Of the land
have been we'll titled by Mr.. Dawson,
and last season ne raised a mammoth
crop Of wheat on the poor farm
The money derived from this sale
viii be used to build a cOmmOdious
house on the old fair grounds just
north Of GOOdIand, where the county
has forty acres Of ground In the
near future the board OF commission
ers viii perhaps receive bids from the
carpenters Of GOOdland for the con-
structiOn OF a home for the future
poor Of Sherman cOunty-if such a
condition is imaginable where land is
still so cheap and the opportunities Of
earning a livelihood are so great In
spite OF opportunity, though, the old
saying that the poor ye have with you
always, viii perhaps be proven in
some cases in the future OF the west.
At the present time there is but one
inmate OF the county poor house, Mrs
Moran, upon whose pathway the more
common fortunes Of this world have
scarcely fallen She has tOiled and
wrought in her day, but who can tell
what the morrow will bring in the
matter Of riches, which frequently
and Unexpectedly take wings and fly
away The ideal state is where none
are rich and all have plenty. but states
in fact are not ideal. and il is a good
omen among men to see that the
homeless are housed and an honest
hunger fed
