spent In advertising literature, but no ono
here seems to have made any definite cal
CulAtions % to what is to be done or what
the cost Of It will be.
TO get any appreclable good out Of the
project there should be thorough or
ganization on the part Of Dodge City
people. adequate plans should be made,
and the cost should be counted and met.
II may bs true that such train can be
handled 90 that the general advertising
received BY Western Kansas may be worth
proportlonatsly to Dodge City what few
individuals have already subscribed, and
in such case these individuals would
deserve credit for donating their money
toward the good Of the community. But
II q car 10 to be stocked with exhibih and
much larger expense incurred the men
who have already contributed could not
be expected to bear all Of the expense.
The only definite information to be
gained here so far, Is that a number Of
men have subscribed certain amounts,
have paid one fourth down, and are to
pay the rest on July l.

DODGE CITY MEN HAVE SUB
SCRIBED FUNDS TOWARD
THE TRAIN
EVERYTHING SEEMS INDEFINITE
Have no Contract With the Pro-

Some Of the Real Estate and other busi

between three and four hundred dollars
toward fund to send an advertising
train east, which will be good thing

rather slip-shod manner, and the sub.

Mr.. Dixon most certainly hasthe ability

vertisement for Dodge City. TO get any
good out of it the Dodge City people
should be thoroughly organized and have
well laid plans for carrying out the ad-
vertising project. The matter now ssems
to be very indefinite.
The paper signed by the subscribers
states that Mr.. Dixon will start from
Dodge City with train Of wheat which
will be run to Chicago, together with an
exhibit car which will make the state
fairs Of several states and which will be
accompanied by brass band. Advertis-
log matter from various towns 10 West

large territory; that the amount subscrlb-
ed by Dodge City people is to be used
toward decorating and equlpplng the
train; also that Mr.. Dixon will furnish
transportation for one man to accompany
the train to distribute advertising, for
$500. Ii Is likely that the offer means
that $500. will pay for transportation and
use OF one car for exhibits and one man,

this from the paper. 1t will probably

DODGE CITY GAINED 700 DUR
ING PAST, YEAR
POPULATION NOW $500
Fine Gain for one Year And
Greater one Expected Next
Year.

The census for Dodge City just taken
by City Assessor Sam Gallagher, shows
large increase over the census Of last
year. This increase amounts to some-
thing over 700 which brings the popula-
tlon Of Dodge City upwards Of 34Oc The
increase since the first of March has been
steady one so that Dodge City can now
claim a population OF $500. Dodge City
Win probably show larger growth In
the past year than any of the towns Of Its
class In Kansas.
The building Of new homes has gone
forward as fast as possible and would have
progressed much frster If workmen could
have been secured to do the building.
Last years census showed population OF
few over 200. and that tune there were
only few empty houses. The building
has net kept up with the increase 10 pop.
ulation 80 that the town Is much more
crowded now than last year In spite Of
the building that has been done.
1t probable that fifty cottages could
be rented at once If they were built, pos.
sibly twice that number. The growth Of
Dodge City has been so steady and quiet
that it has been scarcely noticeable, ex-
cept for the continual appearance each
week Of strangers who remain 10 town.
There Is every indication that the town
will grow faster during this year than 1t
did last year and the population ought
easily TO reach $500 by this time In 1907.
The>county has probably Increased more
In proportion than Dodge City. New
settlers have located 10 every township
and they are still coming. Daring the
soming year the settlement Of the county
will help the growth Of Dodge City.

RECENT OUTBREAKS
1t Is Considered Likely That Vice

VICTORIA, B. G., Jan. 4.-Shanghai
newspapers received by the Empress
of Japan today state further trouble to
be brewing among the Chinese of the
settlement
In many sections Japanese were
blamed for melting the outbreak, and
it was pointed out that the Japanese
nationals were unharmed in the riot
ing. Correspondents of Japanese news
papers deny the allegations 1t is gen.
orally conceded the anti-American boy
colt had no part in causing the dis
turbances.
All the foreign journals of Shang-
hal are united in stating the Chinese
to be anxious to abolish extra terri
tory and foreign settlements at Shang-
hal.
John Goodnow. formerly United
States consul general at Shanghai, and
Mr.. Drummond offered their services to
the Chinese toatai prior to the rioting
to represent China in settling the mixed
court deadlock The taotai refused
them.

Consul TWiman, the British assessor of
the mixed court will be removed in

with the result that twenty Chinese

Fifteen thousand Chinese soldiers in
plain clothes are said to have taken
part with the crowd. Chinese news
papers state the trouble was due to

American, two Japanese, one Austria

ried to Shanghai and landed troops,
the rioting being stopped, and. armed
patrols were kept marching in the
street when the liner sailed from
Japan.

BRITISH OFFICER DEAD
Indications That Captain j. Hoskins
Committed Suicide in
Pretoria
BY AssocIat ted Press.


PRETORIA. Jan. 4.-Capt. j. Hos
kins, quartermaster of the Second Dra-
goon guards, whose name has been
mentioned in connection with the war
stores scandals, was found dead this
morning under circumstances pointing
to suicide.
Some time after the close of the
South African war it was alleged that
officers of the British army had worked
in collusion with contractors so as to
enable the latter to purchase super
fluous stores at absurdy low prices and
afterward resell the same to the mill
tary authorities at enormous profits,
entailing a loss to the government Of
very large sums of money.
A blue book containing the report of
the war office committee was issued.
The report censured n number of
officers OF the army, service corps ana
pay department, who We're alleged to
have acted in collusion with the con-
tractors The value of the stores in
Volved in these transactions was stated
in the report to be between $50, 900, 600
and $35, 900. 900. The prosecution OF the
officers concerned in the scandal was
ordered on December 27 last.

UP the mystery
The letter is addressed to Styr and
in 1t the dead girl is reported as prom

In view of the discovery the theory
is advanced in behalf of Styr that he
went to the Wheaton home to assist
Pearl to escape and that he was dis
covered by members of the family and
fired on, and that he shot back in self
defense, against the mother and sis
ter. killing his sweetheart, Pearl, by

injunction Restraining Provident Sc

Business Issued
BY Associat ted Press.

BOSTON, Jan. Am injunction re-
straining the Provident Securities and
Banking company of this city from do
ing further business was petitioned for
this afternoon in the state supreme
court by the state savings bank COM
missioners. The court issued a tenn
porary injunction and a hearing will
be held tomorrow on the question of
appointing a receiver.
The company is organized under the
laws of South Dakota and has an au-
thorized capital of $1,500,000. 1t has
about 5000 depositors with an average
deposit from each of about 500.
The commissioners alleged that the
company was unable to meet its obliga-
tions.
The Provident Securities Banking
company has engaged in a general
banking business, but has made a spe-
cialty of soliciting small deposits. Sew
eTal weeks ago the attention of the
savings bank commissioner was called
to the companys affairs and an inves-
tigation followed. According to the evil
dence of the commissioner in the su-
preme court today the money deposit
ed with the company, which aggre-
gated $1S2, 900, has been thoroughly in
vested. At a given moment, the com
missioner alleged, no more than $500
could have been realized by the COM
pany for the purpose of meeting any
OBLIGATIONS. The commissioner was of
the opinion that the best interests of
the community and of the depositors
was conserved by bringing about the
suspension of the companY's business

Southern Pacific Believed to Be Pre-.
pairing for Gigantic Development
Scheme Near Los Angeles
Spccial to Tho Herald

Special To Inc llcIdlu.
SAN BERNARDTNO, Jan. 1.-Two
more land patents We're filed here today
by the Southern Pacific. One covers
81. SCI acres of land southwest of Bar
stow. in this and Los Angeles counties,
and the other 67S73 acres southeast and
east of Barstow, reaching as far north
as the famous Calico mining district.
Several weeks ago the same corpora
ton filed patents on "A vast tract OF
land along the Salt Lake road north
east of Daggett. What the purpose of
the company is in patenting these
tracts of land is not known. but it is
believed it is working toward the
launching of some gigantic develop
ment scheme, as it would hardly be
patenting land otherwise, as it now
becomes taxable. Much OF the land
covered by today's patents was in
cluded in the old Atlantic & Pacific
railroad grants but never patented.
