Ottawa, Aug. 2s-More than two years
ago an Ottawa boy threw a bottle into
the Marais des Cygnes river. In the
bottle was a note requesting the per-

A few days ago the bottle was found
or three heavy floods of the river and
travoled several hundred miles I'M
broken.
The boy who threw the bottle into
the river was Earl Kalch, who later re-
moved with his family to Winfield, Kan.
It was on April Z, 1904. that he was
playing with Harold Clark, a compan-
ion. on the river bank and taking a
small quinine bottle wrote the follow
ing note and started it on a journey
down the Marais des Cygnes:

Winfield Courier takes up the story at
this point and says:
Yesterday Earl Walch received a
letter from Pearl Rhody, Rich Hill,
Mo, stating that he had found the bot
tie five miles south of Butler, Mo. The
letter from Mr.. Rhody was written on
the slip in the bottle"
The reply reads as follows:
New Home. Mo, Aug. u, 1906
Earl Walch, Ottawa. Kan: Well, you
asked anyone that found this address
to send it back to you. I was out duck
hunting one day and saw the bottle and
that it had something in It. so this is
what I found five miles south of Butler,

Albuquerque, Aug. 23.=Plans are at
the Santa F'e offices, at Albuquerque,
in charge of Chief Clerk Barhydt, for
platforms and new Santa Fe store
house to cost $4,000, to be. erected on
the site of the ramshackle old build

house since Albuquerque was first
made the depot of supplies for the
western lines of the road, which was
many years ago
Mr. Rice said: s'The building and
platforms will probably cost $50,
but I wouldn't be surprised if 100000
were spent here altogether before con-
templated improvements are COM
pleted.
you can count on Albuquerque al
ways being the depot of supplies for
the western lines of the Santa Fe-
San Bernardino, for convenience, but
there would be too much dead hauling
to make 'Berdino the depot of sup
plies. Many of the supplies would
have to be hauled out there and then
back again. The Santa Fe is doing no
two way hauling business.
THE company is also counting on
installing the Bowster system of dis
tributing oil at the local shops. which
means~the building of an especially
large storage tank, with distributing
pipes running from it to all depart
ments of the shops. The oil is dis

WILD mustard, the bugbear of the
farmer, may be eradicated from grain
fields by spraying the grain with a solu-
ton of sulphate of iron, says the Mime
apolis Journal. This is the announce
ment o. c. Gregg, superintendent of the
state farmers institute, who has been
conducting a series of experiments on
his farm in Lynn, Lyon county. Mr..
Gregg declares he has established alb
solutely that the mustard pest "a be
killed by using the sulphate of iron solu-
ton. Farmers who have waged war
against the wild mustard will appreciate
the Importance of Mr.. Gregg's discovery.
Securing a foothold in a field of grain
the mustard spreads rapidly, and unless
entirely eradicated before it goes to seed
it will cover the whole field within a few
years. Different methods of exterminat-
ing the pest have been resorted to, but
none seems entirely satisfactory, as the
mustard seeds are tenacious and the
plant is prolific. The method used by
MIR. Gregg in killing the mustard is
simple. When the grain was about four
inches high and the mustard plants had
developed three leaves, he sprayed his
fields with sulphate of iron solution and
found that the mustard was destroyed
while the grain was not effect. The
only difficulty he has encountered has
been in procuring machinery which
would do the work of spraying cheaply
and econmically.

The Valley City Times Record hands
Governor Sarles several hot ones in the
following article:
Yesterday at the congregational
church, Gov. Sarles was the subject of
two discussions. At first he was dis
'cussed by the mems Bible class and
nothing to his credit was brought for
ward. Last evening Rev. j. H. Batten
spoke on the subject, "The Insanity of
Moral Compromise" He took the pos.
s5ition that there could be no compromise
between right and wrong, he said MANY
christian men believed tina: if their
party nominated a man for an Office
they must vote for him regardless of his
moral character. He illustrated his
argument by citing the moral character
of Gov. E. Y. Sarles. He told many
incidents of which he said he was cogni-
zant which tended to prove the governor
anything but a Sunday school scholar
and said that while he was a republican
he would not vot for Sarles, even if he
was the nominee OF that party. He
would vote for any reputable democrat
for governor but not for Sarles. Hc
said he could not keep on speaking
terms with his conscience il he did"
