DIXON SAYS WHEAT TRAIN
WILL BE MADE UP
HERE.
CARS COVERED WITH BANNERS
Will Make Only Daylight Runs
and Visit at All Stations.

Syl Dixon returned to Dodge City on
Monday and declares that the wheat and
advertising train he is preparing to take
east from this part of the country In
August will be hummer.
Mr.. Dixon says that after similar trains
had been run east from Oklahoma and
Texas the home seekers poured into those
countries by the train load
Afhe wheat will be bought and collected
and the train will be started from Dodge
City. The decorating will be done here
and this Is to be an important part of the
work.
The entire train, according to Dixon's
plans Is to be covered with streamers.
They will be lettered so as to give ont
the greatest possible information. some
are to have scenes of alfalfa and wheat
harvest painted upon them, and II put
out as planned the train can not help but
attract much attentiOa.
1t is to make only daylight runs and
will stop at every station. The advance
OF the traln is to be heralded ahead, so
that everyone may be at the station to see
the sights.
A brass band is to be taken along to
draw the crowds.
After the trip is made and the wheat is
marketed Mr.. Dixon will make the state
fairs In Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska with
his exhibit Car and band.
Mr.. Dixon has been making arrange
ments with the people at Larned, Dodge
City, Garden City, and other towns In
this territory and reports that the people
are taking hold of the project with much
interest.
He expects to begin soon painting
streamers and preparing for the decora-
tions for the train.
While the matter has moi been taken
up Systematically in Dodge City as yet
the subscribers here will probably make
more definite plans and try TO get the
full benefits of the train.

MEMORIAL OBSERvANCES
Services Held at Opera House on
Memorial Sunday and Decora-
ton Day.


Memorial Sunday and Decoration day
were flttingly observed In Dodge City,
and while the young crowd cannot as yet
make arrangements so successfully as the
Grand Army members for carrying out
the purposes Of the day, they are using
their best endeavors to take the place OF
the veterans here In managing the affairs
of the occasion. Two years ago the
Grand Army post here decided that Its
members would retire from the manage
ment Of the memorial day observances,
and that In future the citizens and the
younger generation should take charge
on that day. Since that time committees
Of citizens have tried to carry out the
veterans wishes. The time will come
only too soon when the old heroes will
all be gone. and 1t is p rhaps well that
the others should be drilled in keeping up
the beautiful and worthy custom of OBJ
serving Decoration day, which has be-
come SO well and SO universally estab
Iished In this country.
Memorial Sunday was tho occasion Of a
union service at the opera house, and
large audience was present. Rev. Cor
nelus delivered the memorial sermon,
and choir, composed of singers from
the different churches added to the effect
of the services.
On Decoration day large procession
formed and marched to the cemetery.
The old soldiers marched in the place of
honor at the head of the column, headed
by Mallouee's drum corps from Ft. Dodge.
AT the cemetery the customary services
were held and the graves of the honored
dead were strewn with flowers.
In the afternoon services were held In
In the opera house. The address was de-
llvered by Rev. W. H. Manary, of Valley
Center, an eloquent and able effort, which
should have been heard by much larger
crowd than was present.
II will be we'll for the committees that
have charge of the arrangements next
year to enlarge the scope Of their work,
adding to the general arrangements, a
committee, whose special duty will be to
persuade any who are arranging amuse-
ments for the town to select another date,
so that the town In an entirely may at.
tend the memorial services.

Dled-On Sunday May 81, 1906, at
about three o'clock p. M, Mrs. Lou Nc.
Coin, wife of W. s. McColm, at their
home about three miles south and west
of Bucklin. The remains were taken
Monday evening by the bereaved husband
and children to the old home in Shawnee
county. Kans, where funeral services
were held and then the body was taken to
Burlingame and laid In the cemetery at
that place. Mrs. McColm was sixty five
years of age. She had been an invalid
for maby months and suffered much. She
leaves husband and two children, one
son and one daughter. All of them were
with her when the last messenger came,
and they accompanied her to her last
resting place.
Now about the smallpox In Bucklin.
As 10 usual In such cases, II you want to
know all about it 60 away from home to
learn it. Why, only yesterday in our
county capital parties wanting to come
to Buckin were advised not to do so,
They were told that the place was full of
smallpox, thoroughly impregnated with
1t from center to circumference. Now we
do not think that conditions here are such
as to justify anything of this kind. II
any person has business to attend TO, that
calls them here, we believe that It Ia per.
fectly safe for them to come. They are
not likely to meet a case of the smallpox
running loose on the streets, though SO
far as we have heard of them, nearly
everyone of those that have 1t are just as
able physically 10 be on tho streets, as any
body, but they are not allowed to be
there, in fact the smallpox that we are
having here, are something like the crops
in dry year, hardly worth having.

Superintendent CHANGED
kinsley Man Did Not Accept and Board
Elects Another.

The school board received word from
Mr.. BAugher, after his election as super
lntendent OF the schools OF Dodge City,
that he would not accept the place unless
an additional $3.50. was added to the
salary.
The board decided unanimously on not
raising the salary until next year so that
1t was out of the question to consider him
further In connection with the schools.
After this decision the remaining appll-
cations were considered and Mr.. Killion
was elected.
Mr.. Killion wired that he would take
the place, and the board believes that
there will be nothing lost by the change.
Mr.. Killion has the best recommendations
of any applicant that has had his name
before the board The first choice was
given to Mr.. Baugher, because of the fact
that he has been teaching near here and
is personally known 70 bea successful
superintendent. Mr.. Killlon has had
eighteen years experience in school work.
He was superintendent Of the schools of
Mcpherson for two years, and of the
schools of Rosedale for eight years. He
went to Globe, Arizona from Mcpherson.
He has found that he prefers life In Kan.
sas and this year made application for
the school work at Dodge City. He Is
recommended by the people where ever
he has had charge of the schools, as
very capable and successful man.
