right of way 200 feet wide from said
railway to the south line of the state,
a distance of about $50 miles. After
ward patents were issued to private
persons for land through which the
railroad runs without excepting the
right of way. The persons holding
these patents have treated the right of
way asIbeing only 100 feet wide. In
some cases valuable improvements
have been made by them on the outer
fifty feet on each side of the railway
tracks and they have occupied the
land without disturbance for many
years. The railroad company brought
suit to oust these occupants a,d the
court now decides in its favor
The land affected by the decision
lies in Geary, Morris, Lyon, Coffey,
WOodson, Allen, Neosho and Labette
counties, In one of the most fertile
portions of the state. Among the
larger places touched In these counties
by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas

w. J. Bryan gets considerable salts
faction in viewing the outcome from a
Democratic standpoint He regrets the
defeat of w. r. Hearst in New York,
but cannot see wherein President
Roosevelt can find any comfort in the

says the presidents personal attack
on Mr.. Hearst was In very bad taste
and he insists that the attack did not
favorably impress the public.
Particularly gratifying to the Dem
ocratic heart says Mr.. Bryan, is the
return of Missouri to the fold. In a
statement Mr.. Bryan says in part:
'The election of 1906 indicates a
trend in favor of the Democratic par
ty. II proves that the Democratic
party is growing stronger as Repub-
licap policies are developed In New

NEWS OF THE WEEK
RUSSIAN INTERNAL SITUATION.

Such shrewd judges of the Russian
situation as Professor Milukoff, leader
Of the Constitutional Democrats, are
growing more pessimistic daily. The
radical elements in the lower house
Of parliament are getting more and
more out O. hand and events In the
interior arx marching so rapidly that
people almost doubt whether the sur
render of the government to the de-
mand for a responsible ministry
would not now come too late.
The total casualties as a result OF
the anti Jewish rioting at Bialystok,
Russia. x.e not definitely known. out
seventy bodies were buried Monday.
This is claimed to be less than half
the total of the killed. Jewish esti-
mates say that not less than 200 were
killed. The number of wounded is
enormous. Surgeons have arrived
here from Warsaw to assist the over
worked stats of the hospitals in car
ing for the injured.
The gravity of the situation in Rus
STA grows hourly. The bourses OF st.
Petersburg and Moscow are In a pan
icky condition and the Social Demo-
Gratis and social revolutionists, con-
sidering parliament to be a negligible
quantity, are pushing their campaign
for an armed uprising with Increased
vigor.
The Russian emperor and court are
understood to be much alarmed at
the sudden recrudescence of a muffin
GUS spirit among the troops. Reports
received from the minister OF war in
dicate that the revolutionists are d.
recting all their energies to the prop
uganda in the army.
The agitation among the workmen
at Moscow is general and the strike is
in full progress. Largely attended
meetings of a revolutionary charac'
ter are held nightly in the industrial
sections and big demonstrations are
made in front of the prisons.
