TIGHT LID ON THE JOINT"
APPOINTED ASSISTANT AFrOR-
NET GENERAL.
InjuntiOns Served on -Four Places II
GOOdIand-Says the Lid VIII Be
Kept On.

Z r Aurphy, who was county at
4 tOrney OF Sherman county one term,
/ during 19OS-4, but who lost out in his
/ candidacy for reelection upon the Is
sue OF temperance last November.
/ was last Thursday appointed assist
/ ant attorney general for Sherman
county.
The appointment Of persons TO this
particular Office, which course has
been resOrted to in a number OF
counties in the state to put the en-
forcement of the prOhibitory law
more directly in the hands Of the
state authorities, issues from the Of
/ fice Of c. 9. Coleman, attorney gen.
eral Of Kansas. Governor HOch prom
ised the temperance political wing Of
Kansas that he would inforce the pro-
hibitOry law, and the radical temper
ance element have not been slow In
pushing the executive to a perfOr-
nance Of his pledge. And so the gov
ernOr has turned the attorney general
into a "blacksnake," who in turn has
begOtten after his kind, to whip the
jOintists out Of the liquor business in
Kansas; and il looks as though Hoch
and his lieutenants are going to make
it uncomfortable for the booze ven
der.
Mr.. Murphy qualified for the Of
fee July g, the next day after his
appointment When asked by q rep
resentative Of this paper If he had
sought the appointment, he replied
that he had not Ny duties" he con-
tinued, have to do with the enforce
ment Of the prOhfbitory laws Of the
state, and while am not hunting
trouble, I fully intend to stop the
joint business in GOOdland. The ap-
pointment of assistant attorney gen.
erals has happened in counties only
where there is an open and notorious
violation Of the liquor law, without
due restraint from the county attor-
ney.
Experience in dealing with joints
and saloons in Kansas seems to show
that the laying Of the injunction Is the
most effective method. That form OF
procedure I have employed before,
and am now using the same in the
present cases"
As assistant attorney genaral Mr..
Murphy has already had granted by
Judge Smith, in chambers, August
1. injunctiOns against the ten persons
in GOOdland whom, IL is charged,
have been and are conducting joints
or selling intOxicants contrary TO the
laws Of Kansas. The cases in which
injunctiOns were served August 2, are
as follows:
The state OF Kansas against John
o. DOckerty and William Stewart
State OF Kansas against 3. Z. COf-
fin.
The state Of Kansas against A. L
CulIins, Maud Cullins, Philip Woke
and H W RuuneIis.
The state Of Kansas against Carrie
COler, Grace Sterling and Stella
Burk-
While Attorney Murphy may not
have sought his new Office, there can
be no doubt that he has it, and the
people Of GOOdland and Sherman
county viii wait to see with what
effectiveness and sincerity the prog
ram is carried out.

PRAIRIE DOGS.

Choked Up a River While Travelling
From Oklahoma to Texas.
"The prairie dog migration from
Oklahoma to southwestern Texas dur
ing July, 1874, eclipsed anything Of
that sort witnessed by white men in
this country" said veteran who saw
It, Millions of the frisky little bark
ers must have been In quest Of new
pastures or perhaps feared the ap-
proaching legions Of home seekers
would surely exterminate the dogs and
plow up the dog towns. The prairie
dog migration from the north to the
southwest lasted six days during the
month Of July, 1874. The travelling
dogs while crossing the Red river in
terfered to a great extent with the
cattle that came to that stream to
quench their thirst. Some cowboys
that were on the banks Of Red river
during the time when the prairie dogs
swan across say that the stream was
chock full of the little rascals for
many miles up and down the river,
The thirsty cattle were either unable
or unwilling to stick their mouths into
the water through the moving mass Of
living prairie dogs. The cowboys were
getting ready to drive the famishing
stock to a distant stream, but the Red
river became clear Of the repelling
swimmers after blocking the useful
drinking place for about a week. 1t
was generally supposed that the dogs
halted when they had reached the
staked plains Of Texas" s."-Kansas City

In the Transvaal are rooted in almost
the same way today.
Dame Nature was a glassmaker long
before man was created. Natural glass
resembled the glass Of which beer bot
ties are made, and it is to be found In
Iceland, Spain, Italy, Sardinia and al
most every locality In which volcanoes
have been at work. Its proper name is
obsidian, and there are enough cliffs of
glass to fill all the window frames In
Great Britain.
Mica is another form of natural glass
and is largely used in the making of
chimneys for incandescent gaslights.
1t is dug out Of the ground, will stand
great heat and needs nothing but split
ting to be made use of at once.
Old brown Windsor soap, 80 common
ly used for the toilet, is not the real
thing at all, but merely an imitation.
The only soap Of that name is not
made, but comes from the bulbs OF the
Porto Rico soap plant, and 1t was used
for washing purposes long before man
thought Of manufacturing soap from
fat and other substances. It's smell is
exactly the same as London made old
brown Windsor. and there is no doubt
whatever that the latter is an exact i'm
itation Of the natural soap.
At one time the world was lighted at
night with "farthing dips" long sticks
Of compressed fat with a thin string
through the center. Before this the
seeds Of the tallow tree, which grows
in Algeria, Sumatra and China, were
used for lighting purposes. The seeds,
which are Of n good size, need but
wick to burn with clear, white fame.
1t will therefore be seen that the idea
for both ancient and modern candles
was stolen directly from nature.-Pear-

NOTED ACTOR IS DEAD
JOSEPH JEFFERSON DIES At HIS
HOME AT PALM BEACH, FLA,
AFTER LONG ILLNESS.

West Palm Beach, Fla, April "a
Death has ended the career of Joseph
Jefferson. The final hours of the
noted actor were spent in unconscious
ness.
The end was not surprise to his
family. Ever since his last sinking
spell, which came after a rally on
Thursday morning and which was fol-
lowed by an apparent improvement
until Friday, the family has been wait.
ing for the end.
The sickness of Mr.. Jefferson which
ended in his death was contracted, it
is believed, while on visit to his
son, Charles B. Jefferson, at Hobe
sound, few miles above Palm Beach,
where he went to meet mis- friend,
former President Cleveland. 1t is be-
lieved that from slight indiscretion
In his eating there he suffered an at
tack of indigestion.
Joseph Jefferson was born in Phila-
delphia Feb. 20, 1929, and was looked
upon as the dean Of the dramatic pro-
fession In this country. He first ap-
peared on the stage as a child and
during his career had played in a
number of foreign countries. His
great reputation was made in RIP
Van Winkle," which he played in al
most every city in the United States.

John Burroughs Discovers the Odor Of
Sprinq.

John Burroughs. writes in The
Country Calendar for May, the
first issue of the Review of Re-
views Book Co.'S new outdoor
monthly:
"The first perfume of vernal
bloom drifting upon the breeze,
thrilling your sense as you walk
the highway, or cross the little
hill by the footpath, usually ap-
pears in early May. 1t is faint and
delicate, but unmistakablc-it is a
token of bloom somewhere. One
throws up his head and shifts it
and searches for it, as he would
bend his ear for some faint far-off
strains of music. Is it a breath of
the myriad opening buds in field
and wood, or has the south wind
brought it from warmer climes?
For years l was much puzzled as
to the origin of this rare, elusive
odor of early May mornings. Now
l am convinced 1T comes from the
blossoming elms; | have traced
it home. There seems to be only
brief period, probably only one
or two mornings, when the Gins
emit this delicious odor. 1t is the
same with the sugar maple bloom.
1t is not every spring that | catch
its perfume. 1t seems heavier
than that of the elm and does not
drift SO far upon the breeze, but it
is equally brief and uncertain. IN
both cases the atmospheric con-
ditions must be favorable; warm,
moist, gentle southwest wind and
day that woos and caresses all
things"

FOURTEEN LIVES LOST

fire broke out at an early hour and
reduced to ashes the convent in the
little village of St. Genevieve One

age from eleven to eighteen years
and four old women lost their lives.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
the villagers hastened to the scene.
Bucket brigades were hurriedly
formed and every possible effort was
made to save the building. but the
fire had gained such headway that it
was soon apparent that there was no
chance to save it from destruction.
The occupants, aroused by the smoke,
attempted to grope their way out Of
the building. Sister Marie Adjuteur, in
heroic efforts to save the Hives of the
children In her charge, succumbed to
the smoke and flames. The pupils
who perished were in portion of the
building where the fire had obtained
too much headway before the alarm
was given to enable those who re-
sponded to effect their rescue.
