Very Small Cost.

Garden City. Kan. Aug. 29.-Man-
@ger Gillespie OF the United States
Sugar & Land company has received
word from Mr.. Dfttman. who has the
contract for drilling a number of soft
water wells for the sugar company,
that the drill rig was loaded at Cherry
vale this week and that 1t will be here
In few days. The rig used by Mr..
Dittman is OF the type used in the oil
fields and with this drill it is possible
to complete a we'll to the soft water
strata in a very short time.
The sugar company is now having
soft water we'll drilled and as soon
others will be put down. The COM
pany is planning to use the soft water
at the factory and the drilling of the
first we'll will give some idea of the
plan for supplying the city water from
the soft water found in the second
sheet of water under Garden City. Mr..
Gillespie. who is heartily in favor of
securing soft water for the city mains.
thinks this can be done at a small
a verv short time. The strata of blue
clay which have been drilled through
at the factory are impervious to water
and anyone who sees this can readily
undo -stand the difference in the quail

strata.
One soft water we'll has been sunk
at the factory and this we'll demon

PREDICT A COAL FAMINE.
CImarron People Fear Shortage the
Coming Season.

Cimarron, Aug 29.-Cimarron coal
dealers are very anxious, for the good
of the community. that the people be
brought to realize. the gravity of the
present coal situation and what will
surely happen If proper precautions are
not taken. Next winter there is going to
be a coal shortage in the coal supply
just as sure as night follows day. Even
now. word has been received from coal
companies that they can make no prom
Uses to deliver to the dealers and the
prices are already high. Just as soon as
any cold weather comes there will be a
shortage and prices will go out of sight
The only thing to do is for every one
who can possibly do so to lay in a good
supply right now, or there will be actual
suffering next winter.
Cimarrcn people remember what hap
pened here last winter, when the coal
famine assumed such serious proportions
that Mr.. Garten, as mayor, confiscated
railroad coal for their use. The dealers
say that the conditions will be much
worse next winter. Just now one can
buy coal Later on it will not be a
question of price but of getting coal at
all.

New England Roads Fight the
Per Diem Charge.
Have Taken an Aggressive Stand
Against 1t.
OWN EQUIPMENT POOR
And They Kick on Paying for
Use of Other Lines Cars.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

New England roads are still ag-
gressive in their fight against the en-
forcement of the per diem charge i'm
posed for the use of freight cars of
connecting lines as fixed by the last
meeting Of the American Railway as
ISOLATION. The New England roads
are VIGOROUSLY the worst equipped of
any in the country. They use their
connections equipment to a greater
extent than do roads anywhere else
but they protest most vigorously when
they are asked to pay for it. In times
like these, when all the roads are
snort, 80 cents day would not seem
to be an extravagant charge for the
use of cars, especially as their owners
could make much more out Of them
by using them themselves, and when
tney are actually suffering because
they are deprived of that use by their
connections in New England.
The New York, New Haven & Hart
FORD road has assumed the leadership
In the opposition to the higher charge
and has given notice of its withdrawal
from the association, in the hope that
that action will cause a reconsidera-
ton of the action by which the higher
charge was decided on, and It's fol-
lowers are talking loudly against the
injustice of the increased charge. At
the same time they do not seem dis
extent in providing themselves with
enough equipment to render them in
dependent of their neighbors. 1t was
reported early last week that the New
Haven road had given a large order
for new equipment and was about to
spend 100000 in that way, but
since then the report has been au-
thoritatively contradicted, and the
road will be as dependent as ever on
its connections.
All kinds of threats are being in
dulged in by the people of New Eng
land against the American associa-
ton. Allegations of its ilIegality are
heard on every side, and appeals to
the interstate commerce commission
and to the courts are suggested as
means of preventing the imposition of
the higher charge for the use of
equipment. 1t never seems to have
occurred to the roads there that they
could solve the whole difficulty by
providing themselves with equipment
of their own, so as to leave their con-
nections in the enjoyment of theirs.
The probability is that If an appeal is
made to the interstate commerce COM
mission the New England roads will
receive less sympathy than they seem
to expect. That body is perfectly
familiar with the conditions and with
the EN- barrassment that is caused by
the dilatoriness of the New England
roads in returning cars to their own
ers. The commission Is more likely to
advise the purchase of more equip
ment by the New England roads.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

Two ARRESTS ARE MADE.
Prominent Gas Owners at CherryvaIe
Stand OF the Tester.

Cherryvale, Kan. Aug. 2s.-J. H. But
Ter, secretary of the Cherryvale Gas
company, and o. F. Garrison, manager
of the Edgar Zinc company, were ar
rested by Sheriff Paxson here on COM
plant of County Gas Inspector Seally
Brown for refusal to let him test the
smelter and Cherryvale- gas wells.
Messrs. Butler and Garrison gave bond
for their appearance at the next term
of district court.
1t is alleged that the gas inspector
was here a month or six weeks ago and
was turned down when he demanded
that tests be made. 1t is also alleged
the report of tests was offered to be
kept confidential When this was learn
ed by the people in charge of the wells
where tests were desired they naturally
thought that the formality of making
the tests could be waived.
The law in substance states that
when the commissioners order rock
pressure tests of gas wells the findings
shall be recorded in book in the regis

that purpose

HOSTILE LEGISLATION.
Testimony on Its Effect on Railroads
Given Before Commission.

Washington, Aug. 29.--The prob
able adverse effect of state legislation
OIL the property of the railroads ard
the people of the country was the
feature of the testimony yesterday of
Comptroller Plant of the Southern
railway in the North Carolina rate
hearing case. He pointed out that if
Il panic should result from the lower
ing of passenger rates the state of
North Carolina would have to share
the burden of responsibility.
Discussion Of this phase of the con-
trOVersy was brought about by a ques-
ton asked of Mr.. Plant by Mr. Justice,
speaker of the North Carolina legis-
lature, as to whether there was con-
gestior on the Southern railway lines
in North Carolina. Mr.. Plant replied
that congestion had been relieved to
some extent during the last six
months by means of improvements to
the Southern system. Asked If he at
tribute6 the congestion to the recent
act of the North Carolina legislature
reducing passenger rates, Mr.. Plant
replied that the more rate legislation
the less congestion there would be,
because legislation would have a
tender cy to decrease business in the
country as a whole. ''I mean to say"
added Mr.. Plant. s"that the greater the
agitation against the railroads Of the
country the. greater the probability Of
a decrease in general trade"
The reason why the Southern rail-
way does not increase it's facilities for
moving traffic faster than now, Mr..
Plant explained, was that the South
ern has not the cash to pay for such
additional facilities. To get the
money for these improvements it must
go into the money market and sell its
securities. cit can not" he said,
"fnd a market for securities in the
face of state legislation tending to re-
duce its rates below the point where
it can earn the money to pay for the
necessary Improvements"
eff the rates in North Carolina are
exorbitant do you think the Southern
railway company ought to criticise the
state of North Carolina for making an
investigation and fixing the rates at
what it thinks is proper?" added Mr..
Justice.
"If the rates are exorbitant . re-
piled Mr.. Plant. land can be shown to
be, 1 do not believe the Southern
would hesitate TO consider their re-
duction."
Asked If he thought the railroad
and not the North Carolina legis-
lature ought to fix the rate, Mr.. RANT
replied shat personally he believed
there should be a mutual understand
ing between the railroad and the pub
Hc as he felt that the railroads and
the public were co-partners. When
one prospers," he said, the other
should prosper, and there should be
mutual understanding and an eqult-
HE arrangement as to rates"

A $1,000 BOND IN GOLD.
Man Thought to Be a Tramp Surprises
SaIina Court Officials

Salina, Kan, Aug. 29.-When the case
of Charles S. Simons was called in the
district court here the defendant failed
to answer, and it is probable his bond
will be forfeited. Si5nens assau lted Wal
ter Malaby, n night clerk in the Union
Pacific freight office here a few weeks
ago, and he was bound over to the dis
trict court in the sum of $1,000. Mrs.
Simons put up a cash bond of $1,000 in
gold for the appearance of her husband.
The assault was made for the purpose
of robbery, but Malaby had no money
at the time. Simons apparently was
tramp and when Mrs. Simons produced
the gold in court it created quite SEN
Sation.
