WHEAT LOOKS WE'LL.
Ira Clark of Barton County Talks of
Bright Prospects.

Ira H Clark, editor of the Great
Bend Register, was in Topeka with
Senator Chapman last evening to see
Governor Hoch. Mr.. Clark says that
the wheat is looking extremely well in
Barton county this spring, and this in
Barton county means as much as in a
dozen counties in some other parts of
the state.
You could not imagine the wheat
looking any better" said Mr.. Clark,
and it is universal. In most years
there will be bad spots here and
there, but you can't find any this year.
And our acreage is slightly above that
of last year.
IF we get a wheat crop again this
year, as there is every reason to be-
lieve we will. it will make the ninth
good crop in succession. The farmers
are exceedingly prosperous with US.
The banks are full of money and the
most of it belongs to the farmers. We
have eleven banks in Barton county,
with deposits amounting to about two
and a quarter millions, and it is all To-
cal money. most of it belonging to the
farmers
Barton county is the second largest
wheat county in the state. Two years
ago it was first. but ordinarily it is a
little behind Sumner. but it is not near
as old a county as is Sumner.

With Southern Pacific.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railway Circles.

Austin. Tex, March 23--The Santa Fe
has been quietly at work for several
months carrying out its plans for build
ing a link to connect its transeontinental
line in New Mexico with its Texas sys-
tenn which is to form a direct route to
Galveston The survey for this pro
posed road is to run from Amarillo or
Canyon City. on the Pecos Valley sys-
tenn to Brentwood, where it will con-
meet with the Galveston line which will
soon be completed. Construction of the
Western division which is to run from
the connecting point on the Pecos Val
ley system to a point on the transcon-
tinental line near Albuquerque will be
carried out as rapidly as possible, it be-
ing planned to have the work on both
divisions in progress at the same time.
The cutoff will be more than 500 miles
long, that part between Brownwood
and the Pecos Valley system being
about 300 miles in length.

FOR RoosEvELTs HUNT.
Guides Complete Plans for Presi-
dents April Outing in Colorado.

Colorado Springs, Col, March 3d.
Phillip 3. Stewart of this city has re-
turned from Glenwood Springs, where
he met John Golf and Jake Barsh, the
guides who are to pilot President
Roosevelt and party to the haunts of
mountain lions, bear and wildcats in
April. The details of the hunt are all
arranged, but the depth of snow then
covering the surface and the excitement
of the chase will modify the plans when
the hunt opens.
The president himself will select a
railroad station connecting him with
Washington. Two packs of dogs, about
80 in number, all from Gofs kennels
and some of them veterans in the hunt,
will on alternate days make things
lively for the animals. Golf and his
dogs served the president in his famous
hunt in the White river country four
years ago.
MI Stewart says train of thirty
horses will carry tents, bedding and
provisions. These will be ample. all
though the president orders that
preparations be made for rough and
ready life. Bear steak when obtain
able, otherwise bacon, hapjacks and
black coffee. will form the chief
features of the commissary.
The hunting grounds lie west of
GlenWood Springs. They have been
but little visited because of inaccessi-
bility. but Mr. Goff has made himself
familiar with them. They abound in
the big game wanted. While a camp
will be established, the chase will run
many miles away at times if the ami
NAL started up maintains the lead.
Mr.. Stewart, who was the presi-
dents companion in his hunt four
years ago, says the party will consist
of the president, DR.. Alexander Lom-
bard, four or five men who will do
the work of the camp and the guides,
making all told the smallest party
that has yet accompanied the presi-
dent in any of his outings. Secretary
Loeb, will of course, bring in any
message that may require the presi-
dents attention.
Unless the legislature grant the
president a special right to hunt in
the state he must take out foreign
er's license, which costs $25. The
cost of the license, however, will not
be permitted to stop the hunt.
The presidents party is expected
to arrive here about April Is from
the reunion of the rough riders at
San Antonio, Texas. Stewart and
perhaps Golf will join it here. The
trip to Glenwood Springs viii be
made without delay and the hunt will
begin at once. 1t will extend four or
five weeks.
Roosevelt wrote an elaborate ac-
count of his former hunt for an east
ern illustrated magazine. The pro-
posed hunt will doubtless be written
up for a similar use. All details will
story is published. The camera will
be used literally by members of the
party. There will be notable lack of
authoritative information concerning
the details of the hunt, as was true
before.

TWO BAD MEN IN IRONS.
Jefferson Barracks Men Cured of the
Runaway Habit.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 23.-
Among the eleven prisoners received
at the fort from Jefferson Barracks,
Mo. are two who are considered to
be unusually desperate men by the
authorities at Jefferson Barrack
These two are Frank Scott and z. B.
Hale. Scott has a record that could
hardly be equalled, having escaped
from the jefferson Barracks guard
house three times after the authorities
him confined. Each time he was re-
captured and returned to Jefferson
Barracks. He is now sent to this post
for the authorities here to take charge
of him and in all likelihood they will
do so.
house once. During the time the pris-
oners were being conveyed to this post
from Jefferson Barracks every precau-
ton was taken to see that none of the
prisoners attempted to escape and
double measures were taken to pre-
who would have attempted it had they
any chance to do SO. Scott was ac-
commodated with a big piece of rail-
road iron which he had to carry all
the time This piece of iron was about
three feet long and was attached by a
heavy chain to his leg. The prisoner
while walking had to carry this heavy
piece of iron over his shoulder. Hale
was provided with a ball of iron which
weighed exactly forty pounds. The
authorities at the post thinking that
this unnecessary precaution in put
ting these things on the prisoners.
could be dispensed with, ordered that
they be taken off the men and the
ordinary shackles be placed on them
This was done yesterday and there is
of the officials to take care of these
bad men

voopoo pocroR on TRIAL.
Accused of Killing a White Child 90
Months Old.

New York. March 23.-''King'' Bo-
court, a negro, has been placed on trial
under the charge made some months
ago of killing a white child, 20 months
old. cables the Herald's Savanna CORE
spondent The child's body was found
at Guira De NIelena, horribly mutilated
and with the heart removed. Charges
were made that Bocourt posed as a.
svoodoo doctor and that when an old
negress consulted him for treatment he
advised that her only remedy was to
eat the heart of a white person. Kid
naping of the child victim is alleged to
have followed. A dozen negroes were
arrested on charges of being accessories
to the crime.
Owing to the fear in which the WOO
doc Doctors are held there has been
great difficulty thus far in obtaining
testimony The trial is causing much
interest in Havana.

Brockton, Mass, March zs--Public fu-

than two score of persons who lost their
lives last Monday in the explosion and

in the history of the city and one OF the
greatest New England has ever known.

BETHANY TAKES A RECESS.
Will Await the Progress of Scarlet
Fever Among Students.

Bethany college has been closed for
a period of thirty days upon the de-
cision of the authorities of that insti-
tuition. This action has been taken
because of the development of two
cases of scarlet fever in the early part
of the week. Though both of these
cases were placed in quarantine and
there is no apparent chance of any
epidemic asserting itself, it was deem
ed best to close the school for the
time named Notwithstanding
Bishop Millspaugh, president of the
institution, has issued the following
statement: ION account of the scar
let fever the high school department
and the college department of the Col
lege of the Sisters of Bethany will
have a recess of a month, closing on
June % instead of June l. The pri-
mary and kindergarten will continue
at such place as will be indicated in a
day or so and under same teachers.

THEY WE'RE TOO SOON.
Why Congressman Campbell Didn't
Get a Judge Appointed. ~


Congressman Campbell and the
delegation which he headed from Gil
rard to secure the appointment of a
district judge for the new Crawford
county district seem to have been
somewhat previous. After they got to
Topeka and were ready to present the
matter to Governor Hoch they dis
covered that the new law creating a
separate district of Crawford county
will not go into effect until the statute
book is published. which will be two
months or more in the future. So
there was nothinS to do but to go
back home and wait.
In the meantime it is feared that
more candidates for the judgeship may
spring up. At present everything is
peaceful and harmonious with only
one candidate, but with Pittsburg and
Girard both in the county there is a
possibility that some other man may
be seized with an ambition for judicial
honors.
Mr.. Campbell, of course, knew
nothing about when the law went into
effect, and the others interested sup
posed it became effective by publica-
ton in the official state paper.
