A GOOD INSTITUTION.
Barton County Has Sent -Four Wards to
The Children'S Home.

Last Thursday Dec. 2S Judge
Torrey of the Juvenile Court
decreed to the Kansas Childrens
Home Society of Topeka Mary
and Willie Duffy two neglected
children. The Society was rep
resented in court by H. A. Jones
OF Mcpherson, Dist. Supt. for
this part of the state. This
makes four wards of the Court
this Society has received Barton
County during the last two
months. The other two were 20
months old twin girls from Paw
nee Rock.
General attention is being called
to the rescue work that is being
done by The Children S Home
Society, whose headquarters is in
Chicago with branch socities in
various states. The purpose of
the organization put in a nutshell
is to bring homeless children to
the childless homes. No orphans
homes or costly institutions are
maintained but the children are
taken from their homeless con-
ditiOns and placed directly in a
well selected family in some other
locality, where they get the bene-
fit of healthy training and are at
the same time welcome not as sub
lectS of charity but as members of
the family. The cost in this way
is only about $500 per child as
against $4,000 to $1,000 per child
under the old institutional method.
Juvenile Courts all over the state
are making use of this organiza
tiOn in providing for their wards.
This plan is regarded by sociolo-
gists as being the most economical,
practical and humane method so
far devised of solving the homeless
child problem. Mr.. Jones re-
ports that 81 pen cent of the wards
of the Kansas Society who have
reached maturity are making
splendid records.

PETER DOHERTY IS dead.
An Old And Well Known Resident Of
Barton Co. Passes Away.

A phone message received from
Ellinwood Thursday announced the
death of Peter Doherty, which oc-
CURED there at 4 p, m. Wednes-
day, the cause being heart failure.
While not having visited Great
Bend much in the past few years,
he was very we'll known here,
having been a resident of the
county on and off for the past 25
years.
He was born in Wisconsin, and
was little over 40 years of age.
He came to Kansas about 1880,
settling first in Ellinwood, and
later moving to Nickerson where
he engaged in the grain business.
In 1884 he came back to Ellin-
wood, entering the employ of the
Santa Fe railroad company, and in
1887 purchased the Gem Drug
Store, which he conducted until
some time in 1895, when he moved
his family to Byron Okla, and en-
gagged in farming. About two
years ago he moved back to Elm
wood, again bought the drug
business, and continued the same
until his death.
He was married twice. His first
wife was Miss Rosa Farrell, of
Iron Ridge Wisconsin. She died
at Nickerson in the spring of 1888,
in the latter SOS he was married
to Miss Mary Joy of Ellinwood.
who survives him, together with
four boys and three girls, one of
the boys being his first wife's
child. He also leaves brother,
John Doherty, pear Ellinwood,
and several half brothers and a
half sister, the Kennedy's of Enid
Oklahoma.
Pete Doherty had many friends
who with his family will mourn
his death. He was of a genial
disposition, and always had a good
word for everybody. He was a
good friend, a kind neighbor, and
an afectiOnate and indulgent
father.
The funeral service will be con-
Quoted Friday morning at the
church in Ellinwood, and
interment be made Saturday
afternoon at 9. We unite with his
many friends in extending sympa-
thy to the family.

APlRALIlNG POSSIBILITY.
viii Our People be Able to Hold An
Election Hefeaferl

In an editorial the Topeka &Capi-
tai of the 9th says:
Commenting on Comptroller
Ridgely's report that national
banks have not been contributing
to campaign funds since 1891, the
Springfield Republican says that
they probably never happened to
see the letters sent out to the
banks in Pennsylvania in 1900 by.
the chairman of.the Republican
advisory committee for the east
ern part of the state, concluding
in his style:
In order to give you an idea of
what we think would be a reason,
able contribution for you to make,
would state that the banks and
trust companies of the CITY
Philadelphia) are contributing
from 2hto miles on their capital
and surplus.
In future campaigns probably
the banks will not be, contribu-
tors, neither will me big lite in
sdrance companies. If between
now and the next national cam.
paign something should happen to
prevent the railroads and trusts
from making generous contribu-
tlons, what would come Of the
campaignss Most politicians
must tremble at the thought. Can
the people as a matter of fact, T..
elect a President without these
liberal donations of money for
campaign purposes from the cor
poratiOnSG Well, they can prob.
ably contlve to get to the polls
somehow and register their vote.
Americans have the credit of be-
ing an ingenious people and able
to meet such critical emergencies
as this, by hook or by crook,
when the hour strikes

FUTUR|TY RACE HAS SIXTEEN
 STARTERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 31-Sixteen roy ally bred two.ycar-olds are carded to- night as starters in the Futurity stakes tomorrow afternoon at Sheepshcad Bay, when racing on the New York track will be resumed after the summer scas- on. The field is most evenly balanced, and the highest in class that any fu- turity of recent years has called out. The distance is six furlongs. The exact value this year of the stake will prob- ably be in the neighborhood of $5O,O0O.
 The Futurity is the largest stake offered in this country for horses. It is not an old event, but is the prccur- sor of number of similar large stakes. like the Matron, the Brighton Produce and the like. None has attained the celebrity of the Futuyity, however which has come to most race followers outside the regular track contingent, to be the one race of the year; to rank at least with the Suburban and Brook lyn handicap as an event to be watched at all costs.
 The stake was started in 1883 and the very first is deemed in some rc spects the best of the series, Proctor Knott defeating the mighty salvato1 in n great race, and winning fortune for his owner, who vas accounted poor man to bc in such company. Th' race in 1891, when His Highncss dc fcated Yorkville Belle and Dagonet was another one to he remembered. Ii 1893, Domino and Dobbins were th contenders, beginning then their rc markable rivalry for turf hcnOrs.
