The Tampa Times has found good
ernor Broward as a candidate for the
u. S. Senate at the next primary. 1t
has come to be unwritten law all over
the South that the best if not the only
road to the Senate is through the Gov
ernor's office. 1t sometimes happens
to be the wrong road but it still re-
mains a popular route The next Ser
atorial struggle in Florida is going ia
be \ mighty interesting one and will
show some strong entries. The pres
erce of Governor Broward among
them is likely to make it a very siren

Another $63 Per Acre crop.

Oliver Firestone, on the Wilkins
farm Southeast of Roanoke, threshed
sixty acres of Mexican Honduras rice
last week which yielded him a little
over fourteen sacks to the acre. He
was offered $3.50 per sack for the crop,
but preferred holding the greater part
of it for seed rice, and a higher price.
Had he sold it all a, $3.50 per sack.
his crop would have brought the mod
est sum of 1853 per acre or $3.50 for
the sixty acres, which is but the small
er portion of his crop, he not having
threshed his Japan crop yet.
Mr.. Northern farmer does your
5000 an acre land produce a crop
equal to this? Yet this crop was
raised on $40 per acre land.

RESIDENCE DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The Home of VIM. Stegal Destroyed
BY Fire Saturday Night. Origin
Of the Fire AMystery. House
Was Temporarily Vacant
At Time Fire Occurred

At about l1:30 O'Clock Saturday
night it was discovered that the home
OF VIM. Stegal, In the north part OF
town was on fire. Before sufficient
force could be secured to combat the
fire fiend, the whole building was
wrapped in flames, and it was i'm
possible to save either the building or
any OF the contents worth mentioning.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
as the house was temporarily unoc.
cupied. Mr.. Stegal and family having
gone out in the country to help his
brother Thomas Stegal through har-
vest. And while the household goods
were left in the house and some mem.
Der or the family was in every few
days, the house was practically I'M
occupied. There are various theories
advanced as to the origin of the fire
but SO far as we are able to learn
nothing definite about it. The build
ing and furniture is said to have car
ried some insurance.

THE J. C. STOUT SAW MILL AT LAKE

UNKNOWN.
Total Loss Was About $4,000, With
No Insurance, Except On A Small
Amount of Lumber destroyed.

Lake Enthusiastically night about
1890 the J. c. Stout saw mill in Coos
port was totally destroyed by fire
which originated in or near the boiler
room. Lumber of the value of about
$500, covered by insurance, was de.
stroyed. The mill was uninsured.
Mr.. Stout estimates his loss at about
5000 This figure may be cut down
somewhat if the boilers and engines
are not badly injured. 1t is probable
that Mr.. Stout will rebuild. He had a
million and q half feet of lumber in
his yards which was:saved by the wind
being in the right ,quarter and BY the

source of the fire is unknown, but is
supposed to have been started by in

CONTEST NOTICE

Dodge City. Kans, April I6., 1906.
A sufficient contest affidavit having been
filed in this office by Dick Brown, contestant,
against Homestead entry No. 22Io7, made
September 10th 1908. for the Southwest
quarter of Section "a, Township 80 South,
Range 26 West, by George S. Courtney, con-
testee, in which it is alleged that George S
Courtney has wholly abandoned said tract,
that he has changed his residence therefrom
for more than SIX months since making said
entry; that said tract is not settled upon and
cultivated as required by law; that these de-
faults continue to date and are not caused by
the services of the Contestce in the Army or
Navy of the United States.
Said parties are hereby notified to appear,
respond and offer evidence touching said al
legation at 10 o'clock a. m. on June 1906,
before the Clerk of the District Court of
Meade county Kansas, at his office in Meade
Kansas and that final hearing will be held at
10 O'Clock a. m. on June Is 1906 before the
Register and Receiver at the United States
Land Office in Dodge City Kansas.
The said contestant having, in proper af-
fidavit, filed April II 1906, set forth facts
which show that after due diligence, personal
service of this notice cannot be made, it is
hereby ordered and directed that such notice
be given by due and proper publication.

have a drayman who hauls goods
from the depot to the store; he also
runs a hack to the trains. Do we
insist that because we pay drayage |
that he should haul as to and from
the depot free? Let US consider the
railroad question from fair and I'M
selfish standpoint, always bearing in
mind however, that we cannot ex-
pect .'square deal" from men who
are not absolutely free from obliga-
tions to the railroads. The stereo-
typed typewriter resolutions that
have been passed at conventions
this year, wherein the weakened,
incompetent and backboneless
friends of Wichita and Leavenworth
are endorsed" are an insult to the
intelligent voters of Kansas. The
political ub-alliance called Civic
League, conceived in the fertile mind
of the railroad contractor from Law
renee, is another insult to the voters
of Kansas, showing that he believes
that the common people can always
be .duped by the schemlng polite
ians. The primary is where the
people should assert their rights and
refuse to pass resolutions prepared
by the politicians and typewriter by
trusted machinist in Hutchinson,
Dodge City or Ashland. What a
spectacle, primary of oldtime re-
publicans in Meade, passing set of
resolutions prepared by politicians
living elsewhere. How proud those
intelligent voters who attended the
primary must be of the out of the
county politicians who dictated to
them and will not even trust a Meade
county man to prepare simple
resolution.

To The Public.

The American people have been
stslow to anger" in the matter of
those elected to represent them in
Congress and the Legislature prov
ing to be misrepresentation of the
will of the people. The man who
receives a favor and is destitute of
gratitude and sense of obligation is
unfit to represent US in the Legislative
bodies. The man who accepts
favor from an individual or corpora
ton and does not, when the oppoT
tunity presents itself, show his graf
itude and reciprocate the favor is not
honorable. The man who seeks
election to the Legislature on an an
ti-pass platform and when elected
accepts and uses pass is dishonor-
able and unreliable. What politicians
have done heretofore and what
the '1eaders" do is no excuse for
continued disregard of the well
known wishes of the people by pub
lie servants. The matter of rail
road legislation is at present para
mount in Kansas. Fair and just
legislation is what the people want
and must have. The railroads and
the people are dependent on one an
other, and we must have ''square
deal" We need a broad minded
man as representative, one who is
not under particular obligations to
shippers nor to the railroads. We
should insist upon pledge from
every man who seeks to represent US
in the next Legislature that he will
not accept pass or frank from any
corporation and having received
such pledge we should not ask our
representative to procure for US a
pass from any railroad company.
If you object to your representative
using railroad pass, why do you
ask him to place himself under OBJ
legations to railroad company by
asking for and procuring pass for
you? Let those in Meade county
who have during the past ten years
rode on passes procured through the
representative become more consis
tent. Are men who travel on rail- |
road passes In favor of anti-pass leg
islation? Is it not fact that ship
pers demand free transportation and |
yet some of them talk long and loud |
against discrimination. Cattlemen |
expect free transportation and yet
complain of the rates etc., while if |
they paid their fare every time they
travel on train, as the small mer-
chant and farmer do, the shipping
rates might be less. The shipper
who travels on5what he believes is
s'free transportation" is badly mis-
taken, for the railroad company very
properly charges him, in an indirect
way, so much for every mile so trav-
eled. Why should railroad on
pany carry US free of charge from
Meade TO Fowler, even if once or
twice "a year we pay freight. We
