ROCK ISLAND OFFICIALS HERE.
President Tinehsu and Omeial Party
Make Tour Of Tnspecfion.

A special running as extra No. S,
bearing nearly all of the head officials
of the Rock Island system pulled into
GOOdland from Denver at lis D. m.
Wednesday, leaving at 1:3O O'Clock for
the east. In the party accompanying
Mr. Winchell were ". II. Moore, ]. H
Moore, directors Of the Rock Island;

They were on a general tour of in

Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver.
The train consisted Of FIVE cars, with

of our lines" said President Winchell
to the newspaper reporters in Denver,
and our visit has nothing whatever to

Denver on our way to Chicago. Our

CAUGHT THE $500 DOG.
Race Between Pumpman and BlOOds
Spaniel at Bethune.


Spaniel at Bethune.
The Moore brothers, directors of the
Rock Island, on a special eastbound
Wednesday, had a bloOded Spaniel dog
on the train. The animal cost them
$500. At Bethune the special was de-
layed by a breakdown on No. s, which
went ahead of It.
The dog of course had to have some
fresh air and other privileges, and was
let out into the open. He at once
started over the prairie, seemingly de-
sirous of changing his residence. The
MOOres cried out the alarm to the pump
man and others to make the chase, and
hung up $50 for the man that should
catch the runaway.
The race began, men afOot and the
dog in the lead. They turned and
circled and made the dust fly. The
dogs tongue hung out in his effort to
get away and the men hung on to OBJ
tain the prize At last the Bethune
PumPman got close enough to seize the
canine by the tail, and was given the

SCHOOL LANDS SOLD.
One Section in Mcpherson ToznshiP
Brings Sharp Bidding.

That the states school land, as all

rich, level prairie land, situated about
seventeen miles southwest Of GOOdland-

on one corner of It and turn MS cattle
out, he could see and count every one
on the farthermOst spot of that section.
Solomon Townsend and his son,
Witten, who live near It, E. Stout of
Hays City, and 7. a Stevenson of
GoOdland were the hardest bidders.
The section was appraised at $3.50 per
acre, but the bidders soon went to the
s. mark. Stout dropped out before it
reached 81 per acre, and the bidding
after that was between the Townsends
and Stevenson, finishing at 3 O'Clock by
StevensOn's highest bid Of $3.50 per
acre, making the section of unim proved
land bring to the state s., $50. This is
the highest price paid for school land,

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Playf

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted TO discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling Is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out Of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dation. If the official statements OF
the report are susceptible of contra
diction, a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most OF
the charges contain unfonnded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation Of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's office, has tabulated the list OF
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
| separately the reasons for each fail
| ure mentioned and officially states
| that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. 1t may be well to suspend
| Judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.

Old Soldier Not Eornotten

We do not think that our people al.
ways sufficiently consider how much
this nation has cost In blood and tears.
Measured thus, it is precious beyond
words. We all love it, though we
sometimes fail to serve it unsefsbly
The fact that we do thus fail makes IT
necessary that we should constantly
recur to the examples of those who
counted no sacrifice too great to make
in behalf of their country. 1t is
sometimes said that the Union soldier
is forgotten, that he has done his
work, and that the people no longer
care about him. He has not been for.

him. And his work will never be

importance with the passing years.
For what is it but to preach constant.

sacrifice? And this work can be. and
is, done by the dead as well as the

A Raft of Cocoanuts.

A curious picture in the Far East

coanut RATS in still lagoon, appar-

The cocoaEpts are much lighter than

by long strands of bark fiber into Cir
cular groups about twenty feet across,
all the cocoanuts lying side by side.

Tor that purpose, took command on

Gettysburg can claim a place in
every Memorial day observation, for
it witnessed the first of them, the very
fall of the year in which the battle
took place. David Wills of Gettysburg
originated the idea of the first battle
field national cemetery, out of which
has grown the movement that pre-
serves Antietam. Chickamauga and
Missionary Ridge, and that will end
in the parking of the Bull Run battle
field.

at Gettysburg, visited the field tc

burial of Pennsylvania dead. He left

that is honored with reverence by the
patriot. is of little or no interest to
the soldier. Here again Gettysburg
is fortunate in its attraction, In us
claim to celebrity. 1t was the climax
in the offensive operations OF ROBERT
: e. Lee, and where military tactics are
studied there will Lees career be
conned alike by the expert, the gray
haired tactician, the subaltern, ambl-
tious of promotion and the cadet seek
ing his shoulder-straps. Gettysburg,
like Waterloo. is impossible OF repe-
tition at the close ranges at which
both were fought But the general
strategy of one field is still of as much
Importance as the other-the thanking,
the massing of artillery, the protection
of line OF communication, the use or
misuse of cavalry, the preparations
of means for retreat.
But Gettysburg also appeals with
tse same strength to the average Wis
itor who knows nothing Of strategy,
and whose Familiarity with history has
lapsed with the distance in years that
lies between him and the dog-eared
nages of his school books. 1t is all so
plainly writ, in location, in natural
outline of the smiling countryside, in
monuments and marking guns, that he
who runs may read.
Roughly, Gettysburg is letter H,
with opposing lines parallel and the
course of Pickett's charge on the third
day forming the crossbar. The
Round Tops and Gettysburg town are
at opposite ends. The Emmitsburg
road. on which Buford with his caval-
nv came cautiously scouting along to-
ward the town on the last day OF
June, lies between the bars Of the
letter and parallel with them. The
Chambersburg road, along which the
confederates were feeling their way at
the same time, bends around what
was afterward the confederate left to
enter Gettysburg Because those col
umns met there was battle here,
for each side hurried up it's strength
to meet the other when their leaders
learned that the feeler columns had
met and touched.
This was on July l, and because
Gen. Lees forces hurried up faster
than did Gen. Meade's it was an un-
Fortunate day for the UAion troops.
