KrNGMAN CoUNTY GOLD.
Latest ssFind'' Made in Sand Used for
Cement Blocks.

Latest s.Ffnd'' Made in Sand Used for
Cement Blocks
The Kingman Leader-Courier says:
A few days ago when the proprie-
tors of the Kingman Cement Block
works were casting about for suitable
sand for use in the manufacture Of
their product they had different per-
sons throughout this vicinity bring IN
samples of sand that they might be
able to select some of the most suit
able for their purpose; as it requires
an especially clean and clear cut
article In one of the lots submitted,
tine particles Of gold have been dis
covered. The discovery was made by
an old miner residing in this vicinity,
who was one of the '49s in the Cali
fornia gold discovery. He was at
tracted by the peculiar appearance or
the sand and quietly secured a small
sample of it and took il home with
him and "panned it" when it de-
veloped that he was correct in his
opinion for there was gold in it, al
though just in what quantity. has not
yet been determined, as the sample
pan of sand was a small one.
The matter is being kept a secret
between the man who hauled the sand,
the miner and the reporter for this
paper, who was let in on the secret,
he having observed the mysterious ac-
tons of the miner when he was secur-
ing the sa nipple. AS the sand was Sc
cured along side of the public nigh
way on the land belonging to another
party, its location will be kept a Sc
cret until further developments. The
reason for this secrecy is of course
plain, for if gold should be found in
exist there in any considerable guam
tity, an attempt will be made to locate
claims; and when this takes place
there will be a regular stampede; con-
sequently it is wise for the first discov-
erers to remain mum until the proper
time that they get in the
ground floor" AS several persons
have furnished samples of sand the
public will of course get busy in their
attempt to locate the gold mine.

the man which it is believed will en-
body all the requisites necessary to
meet the peculiar conditions existing
on the Rock Island.
Looking out over the world of rail-
way men in the United States. the
members of the board of directors de-
cided that Mr.. Nudge was the one par
ucular man whom they needed, and
they made a strong effort to get him.
OF all the railway managers in the
country it is doubtful if any could fill
the bill for the Rock Island like Mr..
Nudge. In the first place he is a
western railroad man; thoroughly
practical and successful. He is almost
as well known and liked upon the
Rock Island and other western roads
as he is on the Santa Fe, and he would
have experienced no difficulty in step
ping into the Rock Island and organ
izing the forces under him
The Santa Fe management doubt
less recognizes his inestimable value
and no doubt had considerable to do
with the matter of his making a deci-
sion to s'stay with the old road"
Topeka and Kansas people are glad
that he will stay in Kansas for the
reason that, in Kansas. he makes
every one feel that he is lone of u.s.
Had he gone to the Rock Island. Kan
sas would have lost him as a citizen,
Notwithstanding the fact that his in
huence would still be felt in the state
to a greater or lesser extent.

4 Missouri Pacific Bridge Burned.

Salina, Kan, March 2O.-Train No. "a on
the Missouri Pacific ran into a burning
culvert three miles west of here about 5
o'clock Sunday morning. The engine and
the baggage car were demolished, but the
train crew escaped dangerous injury.

news agent suffered a sprained back.
None of the passengers received more than
a few scratches. The wreck blocked the
train service on the line during the day.
The bridge started to burn before the
train reached it. The fireman saw the
flames shoot up. He attempted to jump
from the cab, but rail crashed through
the window and pinioned him inside the
cab. The engineer was thrown out of the
engine, clear of the wreck. The bridge
evidently was set on fire by an incendiary.
The train was six hours late.

CONFUSED THE BRIDE.
Too Many Red Carnations Bothered
the Poor Girl

Conductor Matt Stacey of the Frisco
tells q good story of an incident that
happened down at Lockwood, Mo.
last week when he was in charge of
Scott Republican. When he left KAN
sas City in the morning one of his pas
sengers was a fine looking young lady
who had a ticket from Lawrence,
Kan. having reached Kansas City
over the Santa Fe. She was splendid
type of Kansas woman pretty dig
nified, well dressed and with every
indication of refinement When the
train arrived at Lockwood there was a
number of young men wore elegant
red buttonhole bouquets and each had
long red ribbon pinned to the lapel
of his coat. 1t was observed that the
young lady wore beautiful little
bouquet of red flowers and wore the
red ribbon.
It happened that the lady and one
of the young men of the town had
become engaged through matri-
monial paper, and not having per-
sonaI acquaintance, they had agreed
to mark themselves with the red
bouquet and the red ribbon. The
young man had cOnfided the secret
to a friend and when the would be
bridegroom arrived at the depot at
train time he found all the boys In
town there dressed in the same man
ner to claim the bride. AS she
stepped off the train one of the young
men who happened to be nearest
the car took hold or ner arm ana
marched away with her. Immediately
each of the young men gathered
around the couple and began in a
pleading manner to tell the young
lady that he was the man she
wanted. The young lady grasped
the situation at once but that did
not prevent embarrassment, which
added to the amusement of the pas
sengers- The train was held some
minutes to see how the play ended.
and the last seen of the young lady
she was making her way toward the
city with one young man. but whether
sengers never knew, nor did Conductor

NICHOLS A DAMPER.
A Genuine Revolt Is on at AgricuI-
tural College.

Manhattan, Kan, March 20.-The ex-
citement among the K. S. A c. stud
ents over the suspension of the three
juniors accused of hanging a class ban
ner, is still running high. A feeling os
distrust and dissatisfaction seems to
prevade the whole student body.
After the banner incident a few weeks
ago, eight of the most prominent stud
ents were called before the president
for examination. Three of the boys
finding that the guilty parties were to
be exposed by the process of elfmina-
ton refused to make any statement.
This stand antagOnized q portion of the
faculty and at a called meeting these
members passed a motion to suspend
the three boys for the remainder Of the
college year. In a mass meeting called
to discuss the matter the students ap-
pointed a committee to meet the faculty
and lay before them the sentiment OF
the student body ana request that their
action be reconsidered. The faculty met
Saturday afternoon but refused to take
any action on the matter.
The students claim that there is no
evidence against the suspended juniors
and the fact that a member Of the sem
ior class was accused of the same Of
tense seems to substantiate their claim.
They further hold that the suspended
students have been made an example
for the moral effect it will have. It is
claimed by the president that the stud
ents attempted to dictate to the faculty
action was intended.
The present administration of affairs
at the college is severely criticised by
citizens of Manhattan and prominent
students. A senior agricultural student
has made the following statement.
President Nichols is not competent for
the position he holds here. Having been
a professor of physics prior to his cleo
ton to the presidents chair he shows
little interest in, and gives little encours
agement to the agricultural interests OF
the college. The agricultural students
are much discouraged, and great
many would no doubt look elsewhere for
more profitable employment If II We're
not for the unbounded energy and efh-
Client work of Prof. A. NJ Ten Eyck and
his able assistants.
Another prominent student has said:
president Nichols is an effectual dam
per to all enthusiasm of whatever form
He is quiet but logged and persistent
in his opposition to all athletic sports.
He has never to my knowledge grasped
a student warmly by the hand and give
him to understand that he felt a person
al interest in him. He has never open
" praised any accomplishments of his
students and seems at present to be en-
tirely out of sympathy with the student
body"
Tuesday may prove an eventful day
at the Agricultural college. Radicalisms
for some time held in check by the con-
servative students seems now to be get
ting the upper hand and unless some
thing is done to change the attitude OF
the faculty toward the students 1t is
feared that great damage viii result to
the institution

HURRAH FOR I'LL.
MacksviIIe Editor Voted = Hero Medal
by William Allen White.


The Emporia Gazette says: You
have never heard of John LII. He is
a meek and lowly country editor at
Macksville, Kan Last week he wrote
up a wedding in the community for
his paper-the Macksville Enterprise.
He did his best, but the brides family
was dissatisfied because John didn't
spread it on The father of the bride
came to the office of the Enterprise
and said that John Lii didn't know
how to write up a wedding. The
father brought in a notice which he
said would be satisfactory. He said,
however, he wished it to run Just as
it was written" Every editor in this
country has these requests, and COM
plies with them by politely correcting
the errors of grammar and spelling
and construction and bad taste, until
the article handed in is fairly pre-
sentable. But John Lill-Who should
have a Carnegie hero medal-Iet the
just as it was written and here is

stealthy merrymakers until they cried
out, no; some one take care of me, ETC.,
etc"
Newspaper men all over the country
are with John Lii. If he is damaged
by the angry relatives of the happy
pair, it should cost him nothing for re
pairs. The profession should stand by
him. Every editor in this broad land
has promised himself that some time he
would do what John Lii has done, and
every editor has been afraid to do it, |
when the chance came. Oyan1a may be
great in his line, but while the editors
of America are devoting big black burly
type to Oyamafi let them not forget
brave John I-ill who actually did what
we have all threatened to do so many
times.

Wisconsin plans Not Abandoned.

E. P. Bacon Of Milwaukee, who is prom
inently identified with several associations
of shippers, and is a strong supporter OF
Governor La Toilette, declares he does not
have abandoned plans for improvements
in Wisconsin.
TT is the old threat repeated" said Mr..
Bacon. 1.-The threat is a par with
statements of many manufacturers prior
to the November election, who said that
they would close their factories and move
from the state if La Toilette was elected.
He was elected, but I have not heard Of
any man removing his manufacturing
plant from Wisconsin.
Whenever a legislature contemplates
the creation of a railroad commission the
railways announce that if the bill is pass
ed they will cease improvement work in
that state 1t is not at all surprising that
this threat is now made in Wisconsin"

the Ellzs' hall is over the Record office.
Well. about 10 o'clock last night our edi-
torial hair was yanked to a sitting and
finally a standing posture by hearing a
succession of awful shrieks from the hall.
Then there was chorus of equine laugh

unfeeling, and then we heard EN- drag
the poor devil back into the ring again.
Then there came a crash and bang that
shook the building and we knew that the
candidate was raised TO the ceiling and
let fall headlOng to the floor, They put
the hobbies on him and chased him
around the room. Somebody had a sec
ton Of picket fence up there and the poor
fellow was wound NJ in it and made to
rattle his toes along theh picl1ets. He was
made to catch a creased pig and to bal
ance the pool tables on his head. He let
both of them fall at once. a couple of
loads of paving brick were also tested
with the candidate inside the RATHER He
is an Eli now, but we are wavering.
