NEW road FOP RED CLOUD.
Company Or4anlled to Build Road
From Sallna, Kansas 10
Mlnden.

After a lapse of many years n north
and south railroad is again in pros
pect. Newspaper dispatches from
Topeka, Kan, give details of the
forming of II company to build a road
from Salina, Kansas, to Kearnry, Neb.,
and the route as laid out will touch
Red Cloud. Here is the story, and we
give it for what it is worth:
Topeka, Kan, March o. A railroad
connecting two states and terminating
in the very heart of each is what a
number of Topeka men are planning TO
build in the near future.
The road is the Salina & Northwest
ern, which is being backed by Topeka
men exclusively. IL will be consider
ably more than $50 miles in length
when completed. The officers of the
company are George ii. Whitcomb,
presidents; j. c. Going, vice president,
and Clad Hamilton, secretary and
treasurer. &. f.. Harrison of Kansas
City is the locating engineer and is in
charge OF the surveys.
The project mp to the present time
is partially backed by Topeka capital.
The directors of the company are:
Frank NJ. Bonebrake, j. w. O'Neill,
j. w. Going, { lad Hamilton and Geo.
II. Whitcomb. The offices of the com
pany have recently been located at
Salina. Up to that time, all the bus
mess of the company had been hand
led in Topeka. However, as the Of
ficsrs of the company are located in
Topeka, except the locating engineer,
the greater business of the enterprise
| will continue to be handled here.
A surveying party of fourteen men
began to work up the preliminary sur
veys about ten days ago. The party
left Salina for the field the first of the
week. No direct route has been given
up to the present time. The plan has
not been definately determined upon
However, in a general way, the road
| will run out of its southern terminus
Salina, following the course of Null
berry Creek, until close to the county
line, where it crosses the creek and
turns more directly north and crosses
the Union Pacific tracks at Lincoln
| Center. The Salina e. Northwestern
road will be practically the only road
operating a north and south line in
the western part of the state. AS
almost all railroads in Kansas and
Nebraska operate between the east
and west, the new road will have rail.
road crossings at frequent intervals.
The road will continue in its north
westerly course, terminating in the
northwestern part of Custer County,

HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSION.
Party of Thirteen Started for Long
Creek This Morning.

A party of 13, probably seeking
timber claims, left the city this morn
ing bound for Long creek. There were
10 men and three women in the party.
They left in the bus belonging to the
Sisters school, which was drawn by
four horses from the Bowers stable.
The party expects to be gone about
five days.
Just before starting and before the
passengers had gotten aboard this
morning, the four-horse team took n
wild run down Court street and the
driver was unable to stop them until
after he crossed Main street. How
ever, no damage was done by the
dash.

The Washington state experiment
station has In the hands of the printer
lengthy bulletin giving the results
OF several years work on the Goblin
moth In as much as this bulletin
cannot be mailed in time for the first
spraying, the following notes are given
in advance OF its publication as an
assistance to fruitgrowers.
The first spraying for the Goblin
moth should be given after the bios
SONS have fallen from the apple, but
before the calyx cups have closed. This
spraying is the most important Of all.
Experimental tests show that nor
maily 1t means loss OF one-third of
the apples to omit this spraying.
The object OF this application is to
place poison below the crown Of sta
mems, as 1t is at this place that nearly
all of the early worms enter. To do
this most effectively It is necessary
to rain down a rather coarse spray
from above the blossoms, using as
much force as possible, and to spray
until the blossoms are drenched.
Reports from numerous localities
show that a large proportion of the
Goblin moth are already in the moth
stage. Unless period of cold wealth
er sets in Immediately, the second
spraying should be given two weeks
after the first. The second as well
as later sprayings should be applied
in as fine mist as possible. It is
important TO use as much pressure
behind the pump as can be maintain
ed, for the more pressure the finer
the mist and the better the penetra-
ton. The third spraying should be
given in general from the middle to
the end Of July; the fourth from two
to three weeks later.
Practical tests have shown that the
best substance at hand for treating the
codling moth Is arsenate of lead. This
material can be purchased under a
number of brands, as: Swift's. Rex.
Eagle and Disparine. All seem to be
good. Three experimental applica-
tions of Swift's arsenate of lead at
North Yakima the past year yielded
81 per cent of worm-free fruit, while
four to 10 sprayings with Paris green
gave less in each case.
Arsenate of lead in paste form con-
tains about one-third as much arse
lnic-content as Paris green. Accord
ingly one pound to 40 gallons of water
should compare in strength with one
pound Of Paris green used with about
125 gallons of water.
One pound of Paris green to 125
gallons of water is known to be the
most effective strength to use Paris
green in combating the codling moth.
1t was the to 40 formula of arsenate
of lead that gave the 81 per cent OF
good fruit in the Yakima tests. 1t
will be noticed that this is considera.
bly, more dilute than recommended by
the manufacturers.
Bulletin II. on the Goblin moth. can
be obtained as soon as 1t comes from
the press by addressing a request to
Director E. A. Bryan, Pullman, Wash.

with Wilson. They were permitted to
talk with him.
Now Refuses to Talk.
When asked this afternoon as TO
how badly his car was burned, Wilson
declared he did not know, and refus-
ed to say anything more regarding
his case. Evidently he had come to
the conclusion that It was wise for
him to hold his tongue.
From the condition OF the burned
body when found 1t had been. in the
thick Of the fire. The skull and one
arm were gone, while other parts
were also missing. An autopsy was
necessary in order to determine the
sex.
The verdict of the coroner's Jury in
the cremated case was merely that
the unknown man had come to his
death in manner unknown and
placed no responsibility upon anyone.
The jurors were the same as those In
the case of Connolly.
Wilson Seen Here.
While here Monday morning last,
Wilson was seen in his car by Thomas
Milarn, janitor for the Fred Schnei-
ter saloon. AS he was passing the
car Milarn noticed the door open and
save one Of the horses some grass He
talked for moment with Wilson and
says there was another man at the
end of the car. Milarn talked with
Wilson at the Jail yesterday, and ask
ed who the other man was, to which
the prisoner replied that he was
doubtless brakeman. However, Mi
larn insists that such was not the
case.
Waiting for Other Man.
According to District Attorney
Phelps, there is no case against Will
son at present, and probably nothing
will be done unless the other man is
found. He had not talked with Will
son up to this afternoon.
Connelly's Relatives Unknown.
While the officers are searching for
the stranger who disappeared, the
body of John Connolly, who was shot
through being mistaken for the fugi-
tive, still lies in the RAIDER undertak-
ing parlors. Up to this afternoon all
efforts to locate the brother of the
dead man, or other relatives, have
been in vain. There is no such man
as Thomas Connolly in the militia
company at Salem.

have made every effort to find him,
they have so far been unsuccessful.
Wilson Adhcres 10 Story.
From behind the bars Of the county
Jail this morning Private William
Wilson told the story OF his connec-
ton with the case, and 1t was virtu-
ally the same as given at the coro-
ner's inquest at Echo.
Though he declared he would say
nothing, the soldier was found to be
ready conversationalist and answer
ed all questions freely and In a
Straightforward manner. He is a
small, we'll set up young man of the
physical type usually found in the
army. According to his statement he
is but % years old, but says his army
age is IS, as he was forced to fake to
enter the service five years ago. He
Joined the 25th battery at the time OF
its organization, and has served in the
Philippines. He says his parents are
dead and his home is wherever he is.
Ate Breakfast Here.

answer to a question. while the
train was here Monday morning !

restaurant. When we went on, |
rode in the car with my horses, and
was rubbing one of them down when
I was kicked against the side of the
car. That was just the other side OF
Echo, and I was not knocked uncon-
scious. When looked up there was a
fire about the center of the car.
did not know anything about a man
being in the other end of the car, but
IL had, could not have gotten to
him through the fire. I have no idea
who he is or how he got into the car
Wilson also firmly denies all knowl-
edge of the dark stranger who disap-
peared, and says he had nothing tc
| do with such man. He declares he
alone had key to the car door and
it was locked whenever he was not
within. Consequently, he knows OF
no way in which the burned man
could have entered except through
one of the doors in the end, which
are large enough for a man to crawl
through. The car used was a regu.
lar freight car.
Asks Aid of Colonel.
This morning Wilson wired to Col
onel Taylor, at Port Townsend, and
asked him to assist him in getting out
of this trouble. He does not take the
matter very seriously, but at times
manifests some uneasiness. At one
time he said he supposed he would
get about five years, and again he ex-
pressed a fear that he would be held
for a couple of months.
