LEAvENWoRTH COMPLAINS.
Wants to Know Where Mr.. Coburn
Got Their Population F'is res.

Leavenworth, Sept. 30-The Post says:
The compilation by the state board of
agriculture of the fifth decennial census
of Kansas gives the population of Leav-
enworth, March 1. 1905, as 20.924, or 1857
less than in 1904.
Where on the face Of the earth did
the board get these figures?
AS a matter of fact, the population
of Leavenworth today is considerably
larger than in 1904 as the crowded con-
dition of the city clearly shows.
In 1904 vacant houses were plentiful
in Leavenworth, while today it is almost
impossible to find vacant houses A
Kansas City man came here recently
to rent house and went home without
finding one
To say that Leavenworth has lost 1.S00
people in a year is ridiculous. That
would mean an exodus from the city of
five every day.
The same report gives the population
Of the county as 1857, or over 1900 less
than in 1904. The state board of agri-
culture may know a whole lot about
estimating crops. but it certainly knows
very little about matters pertaining to
population.

MONUMENT TO MORTON.
1t VIII Be Unveiled Oct. IA at
Nebraska City.

Nebraska City, Sept. 3O.-The Arbor
Day Memorial association has decided
on October IA as the day for the I'M
yelling of the monument being erected
to the memory of J. Sterling Morton,
secretary of agriculture during the last
Cleveland administration. and founder
of Arbor day.
An elaborate programme has been
arranged for the unwilling, and the
principal speaker will be former Presi-
dent Cleveland. Several others who
have been prominent both in national
and state politics will deliver ad-
dresses.
The Arbor Day Memorial association
was formed shortly after the death of
Secretary Morton, in 1902, and it's
work has been that of collecting funds
and erecting monuments to the mem
DRY of the "Sage of Arbor lodge"
The central design is a statue of
Mr.. Morton himself, which rests on a
massive yet graceful pedestal. At the
foot of the pedestal stands a wood
sprite, her hands tenderly protecting a
young. growing tree. A semicircular,
stone bench, surrounding the pedestal
is ornamented by two medallions
illustrating, one an important epoch in
Mr.. Morton's life-the treaty with the
Pawnee Indians in which he partici-
pated, and the other a group of school
children planting trees. The reverse
side of the pedestal bears a concise
sketch of Mr.. Morton's life and pub
lie service.

ASKS FOR $4,000 DAMAGES.
Miss Carlson Brings Action Against
Geo. Cole at Clay Center.

Clay Center. Sept. 3o.-Miss Anna
Carlson, through her next friend and
father, D. A. Carlson, has brought suit
in the district court for $4,000 damages
and costs of action against George
Cole and his 13-year-old son Perry
Cole. This action grows out of the ac-
cidental shooting of the girl by the
boy.
March s, 1904, Mr. Cole left within
reach of his children loaded shotgun
which the little boy Perry got hold of
and pointing it at Miss Carlson, who
was making her home with the Coles
at that time, discharged it. Thirty
two shot entered Miss Carlson's arm
and thirty entered her side between
the shoulder and the hip, naturally
making very dangerous wounds and
causing great bodily pain and mental
suffering. The victim was confined to
her bed for several months, and, it is
alleged, while she had previously been
strong and healthy girl for her age
(15) she is now permanently disabled
and unable to work.
