ABOUT THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY.


For the purpose of securing in
formation for the general public
some correspondence has been
carried on relative to the library
proposition, and to see how some
Of the cities who have Carnegie
libraries are satisfied with them,
and as to how they are conducted.
The following letter from Chanute
gives about as full information ~
any and will be of interest to our
people.
Cbanute. Kansas.
Dec. IL. 1905.
Editor Rustler.
Great Bend, Kama
Dear Sir:
The librarian has just handed
me your letter under date of 3rd
Inst, asking some information in
regard to our public library. l
will answer your questions to the
hest of my ability.
We received from Mr.. Carnegie
$l4, 500 donation to build with.
We had to furnish a lot. The lot
cost US 1920. With the Carnegie
fund we erected our building,
which is 55x5O feet square, laid
cement walks around it, graded
the. lot and filed up the same, in
stalled complete and most sue
cessful hot water system Of heat
ing, throughly wired every part
OF the structure for electric light
ing also for lighting by natural
gas. put in 500 mantel around
our fireplace in which we use a
gas log, handsome, bronzed
chandeliers Throughout, also ornate
bookstacks and two cabinets of
shelves, ten tables for reading
rooms, II arm chairs for old
people, 20 low ones for children,
10 chairs for the public generally,
and 102 folding chairs for our
auditorium or hall. Carnegie
money paid the whole bill. Did
not cost our people a single cent.
The building belongs to our
city in fee simple As absolutely
and Internationally as does our
city ball or calaboose OF our
school house. Carnegie asked the
city council to levy q tax annually
that would raise a fund of one.
tenth of his donation to support
the library. Succeeding councils
can do this or not at their option.
| presume, however. they will al.
ways support the library.
Under the Free Public Library
Law, you know that as much as
three mills in the dollar can be
levied for library purposes. Last
year our council levied IL mills.
This year they levied two mills
which will raise $l7l2, for library
support. We pay our ianitor and
librarian imam and wife) $500 per
year. The city furnishes US
water. gas, and electricity free.
One million the dollar would not
give our library adequate funds
to conduct on the lines we now
follow. .
Our library is open TO the
public every day in the year and
every evening till 900 o'clock.
The ladies on the library board
of directors have bought 9 piano
for use in the auditorium. They
bought it on the installment plan
and are paying for it by enter

Russian Barley As
Forage Crop.

J.C. Dawes, formerly leading farmer
in the famous Gallatin Valley. but for
the past two years engaged in dry land
farming, has demonstrated beyond a
possible doubt that a new epoch has
been opened to the dry land farmer.
During the past two years Mr.. Dawes
has experimental in raising species
of Russian barley produced extensively
on the steppes of Russia. This grain
differs somewhat from native grain.
The head resembles that of wheat while
the kernel also bears a resemblance to
the same cereal. Fifty bushels of we'll.
developed grain can be raised from one
acre on dry bench land without water.
The crop natures in about ninety days,
thus it is possible. by early seeding, to
avoid the hot whitening sun of late July
and August. This year Mr.. Dawes
seeded his ground. on April IS and July
I5 the reapers we're running. Russian
barley can be threshed and used pre-.
ciselv as other grain. However, another
idea in which Mr.. Dawes is much inter.
ested and which he has demonstrated
to be successful, is the feeding of the
Russian grain in the straw to live stock
sheep, cattle and hogs. He declare.
that one ton Of barley fed in the straw
contains as much nutrition as three ton.
of the best alfalfa. The straw is tende,
and sweet and live stock att readily.

witnesses, the inquest was adjourned to
be continued in Dickinson Friday after
noon.
The remains OF Mr.. Ware were taken
to Dickinson Monday, prepared for
burial and taken to the home of his sis
ter, Mrs. S. L. Carroll. Mrs. Ware and
little son came up from Glen Ullin on
the afternoon train.
A heavy extra had pulled in on the
main track for water and Conductor o.
son had gone in for orders. His brake.
man, Roy Stephenson, started back to
protect the train, but hearing the second
extra-a light engine and caboose-com-
ing, he rushed to the caboose to awaken
Ware, who was returning from visit to
his family at Glen Ullin. Stephenson
left the caboose at the back end and says
Ware went toward the front end. That
he had at least reached the steps is prob
able, since the charred remains of his
body we're found over the wheels of the
box car next in front of the caboose.
Two young men who were beating
their way were on top of one of the for
ward cars and saw the light engine COM
ing, but supposed the switch was turned
to throw it on the siding and did not
thinkS of danger. They were thrown
from the cars, striking the ground some
distance from the train. Conductor Me-
Cormick of the second train sustained
sprained wrist. The light engine CONS
pletely telescoped the caboosc of the
forward train. Fire did not start but
several buckets of water were thrown on
as precaution. About an hour and a
half after, however, the flames started
and rapidly gained such headway that
the wrecked caboose, all that was burn
able of engine us and box car loaded
with pianos burned, as also the body of
the unfortunate passenger.
Engineer Young, who was at the
throttle of us, runs on the west end and
it is said this was his first trip on the
Dickinson Mandan run.
That somebody failed to do the right
thing at the right time is apparent, but it
must be left to the proper court of in
quiry to fix the blame.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT

Following so close on the George Sui
livan horror, the people of the city were
shocked Monday morning to learn that a
rear-end collision had occurred at Glad
stone shortly after one o'clock a. m., in
which Ed. Ware, who was sleeping in
the caboose of the forward train, was
instantly killed.
Sheriff Hartung and States Attorney
Mcbride went to Gladstone on the
morning train and jury, composed of
A. P. Folsom, John Leask and G.. S.
Cryne, was sworn in. In the absence of

election. The work of the court is now
so we'll in hand and there are so few
cases on the present calendar that there
will be no difficulty in disposing of all
the cases before the March, 1907, term Of
the court. Delaying the submission of
cases until after election will avoid the
necessity for reargument and the con-
sequent expense and inconvenience to
suitors."

FOR KENTUCKY.

Fifty thousand dollars sub
scribed in five minutes is the
record. of Southwest Virginia in
raising. funds for proper repre-
sentation of that section OF the
statesa6 the Jamestown Exposl-
tion. Kentuckians are putting
up for the same purpose with a
little more reluctance, but the
Commission, with aid of the
press, Will doubtless be able to
create interest sufficient to raise
t b necessary amount. All
should contribute something to
this effort to make creditable
showing for Ke ntucky at James
town next year and no contribu
tion is too small. The time is
short, therefore promptness on
the part of all friends of the
movement is essential to the
best success. The BEE has been
authorized by the Commission
to receive and transmit sub
scriptions to this fund. We are
interested to see Kentucky stand
at the front among States at the
jamestown Exposition, as every.
where else, and shall be more
than pleased to handle the sub
scriptions of all who find it con
venient to so subscribe.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
WORK WONDERS

Mr.. A. G. Barnett, proprietor of q
general store in Award, Oklahoma,
tells in the following grateful letter
how Cuticura cured him and his son
of terrible eczemas:
"My little boy had eczema. His
head was one solid sore, all over his
scalp; his hair all came out, and he
suffered very much. had physician
treat him, but at the end of three
months he was no better / remem-
bered that the Cuticura Remedies
had cured me, and after giving him
two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent,
according to directions, and using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment on him
daily, his eczema left him, his hair
grew again, and neither he nor myself
have had any eczema since.
As to his own case, Mr.. Barnett says:
al suffered with eczema, a burning,
itching, breaking out on my face for
more than year. / took treatment
from physicians for several months,
which did no good. l was then
advised to try Cuticura. took
six bottles of Cuticurae Resolvent, and
used Cuticura Soap and Ointment
freely every day, began to improve
soon after starting to use them, and
when had taken the six bottles of
the .Resolvent my face had become
clear, had good color, and all erup-
tions had left me. 'sr-f ~

mend the Cuticura Remedies for all
