One of the most animated discus

over three hours, occurred today at a
session of the committee on maritime
war on the subject of the time bellig-

remain in neutral port. an effort
being made to fix twentyfour hours
as the limit. even if this was not
sufficient time for ships to take on the
coal necessary to reach the next port
of their nationality.
Russia's Amendmenf..
There were many abstentons from
voting including the United States.
Germany supported Russia's PROPOSE
ton.
The whole project was finally APP
proved with few minor changes.
The debate on the subject of belliger-
ent warships led up to the decision to
have the conference honor President

A Change on The Santa Fe.

Wellington. Kan. July 27.-The San
ia Fe has decided to divide the main line
Of its Panhandle division, between this
city and Amarillo, Tex, into three freight
divisions. The FIRST will be from Wei
lington to Waynoka. Ok, l07 miles:
the second from Waynoka to Canadian,
Tex, also l07 miles, and the third from
Canadian to Amarillo, lO2 miles. The
present division is Woodward, l42 miles
west Of Wellington. The change is COM
PEELED by the increasing traffic over the
division and the attitude Of the Interstate
Commerce commission against obEgins
trainmen to work extra hours. The
company has bought land at Waynoka
and Canadian and will build roundhouses
and terminal yards at both places as soon
as possible.

Law Suit AVerted.

R. S. Bruce, who is Albert Head.
tenant on the former Stewart ranch, and
Clarence Gulley, son of A. S. GuIley
who owned the ranch before MIR. Head
bought it, had little disagreement about
the threshing Of the wheat crop last Fn-
day but they settled it without getting in
to lawsuit although each had a lawyer
to help iron out the misunderstanding.
MIR. Bruce. representing Mr.. Heads
interest in the wheat crop, objected to
threshing the wheat at this time because
it was In the midst of a heavy sweat.
The tops Of the ricks were blown off
several weeks ago and the wheat, while
not wet sufficiently to damage it, was
moistened so that it went into the sweat
in greater degree than it usually does.
Mr.. Gulley desired to thresh the crop
and dispose Of the wheat. He said he
had lot Of alfalfa to look after in New
Mexico and had to get away as soon as
possible. Gulley's interest in the wheat
was two-thirds and Heads one-third.
There were twenty-five ricks. 1t was
agreed that Gulley should thresh fifteen
ricks and let ten remain. Mr.. Bruce,
representing Mr.. Head, is to attend to
threshing the other ten ricks when in his
judgment the wheat is in fit condition,
pay the expenses and if there is any
money left more than the value Of one
third of the entire crop, to remit balance
Of money to Gulley. If there is not
enough wheat in the ten ricks, over and
above the land owners one-third, then
Gulley is to remit balance to Bruce.
In the settlement ]. N. Timcher rep.e-
sented Bruce and Seward |. Field rep
resented Gulley.
1t was very sensible way. Of avoid
ing law suit.

Last Claim Settled.

The tornado loss of L. T. Williams
against the German-American Insurance
Company was settled by the adjuster,
viii |. Drumm, on Thursday of last
week. Mr.. Williams settled for
$ll00. This claim has been pend
ing for some time. Mr.. Drumm was here
soon after the storm but for reasons best
known to himself. parleyed over the ques-
ton Of the liability Of the company, taking
the excuse that since the damage was
done by water, he was not satisfied that
the claim was valid.
Mr.. Williams says that while the al
lowance will not cover his entire loss he
is very well satisfied.
Mr.. Williams and Adjuser Drumm
drummed away from 4 p. m. until II
at midnight last Thursday before getting
all the wrinkles roned out.

Chas. Jesse Dead.

Word was received here on Tuesday
Of last week that Chas. Jesse died very
suddenly at Hooker, Beaver county, Ok
lahoma, on Monday, July 2oh, Of heart
disease.
The funeral was held on Tuesday and
interment made at Hooker. His mother
was sick at the home of C. w. Hen
Erickson in this city when the sad news
was received and was unable to 20 to
Beaver county to attend the funeral. Mr..
Jesse is survived by wife and several
children. His wife was formerly one Of
the Rosenberg girls whose parents are
now dead but who were also former
citizens Of this county.
Charley was practically brought up IN
Barber county. He was here during
the drouthy, pannicky period and left the
county just before better times came. In
some respects he was eccentric but many
times misunderstood. He was possessed
of much natural ability and IN an extern
poraneous argument was witty and hard
to master.
We regret to be called upon to chron-
icle his sudden death.

TwO.Cent Fare-Nit.

he railroad companies doing business
IN Kansas have sent their regrets to
the board Of railroad commissioners de-
clining to accept the boards invitation to
put In two-cent fare rate. They ex-
plain that the people of Kansas don't
want two-cent rate. They also de-
clare that IN the event Of two-cent rate
excursions would be a thing of the past
and that the people will be denied many
other privileges that they are now enjoy
ing at the expense Of the railroads.
Railroad officials, it has long been con-
ceded, are men Of iron nerve" but this
is the limit. They know more about
what the people want than the people
themselves do. Their threat about deny-
ing privileges is clap-hap. They have
never been known to grant anything that
did not insure good financial returns to
the company. We have had examples
right here at home. If any town wants
a special the only way they can get it is
to plunk down the cost. If the excursion
does sufficient business to make more
than the amount for which the special
was granted, the company takes that also
and the individuals who secure the ex-
cursion train have no say in the matter.
If the paid fares fall below the mark, Of
course, the individual or individuals put
it up. The railroads are not granting
excursion rates for the convenience Of the
public; they are doing it because it is a
good financial proposition.
But the commissioners deserved lust
such an answer. When the law-making
and law executing officials of the
state of Kansas get to the point
where they are brave enough and inde-
pendent enough to command instead Of
beg great corporations to be decent, as
they do in other states, they will get re-
suits.

They Played With Powder.

Tom Woodward and Bill Froman,
eight years Of age respectively, had what
might be called Thrilling experience"
last Thursday. Tom, especially, had an
exciting time. The boys were playing
around the ruins of Mrs. LytIe's home
that was destroyed by the tornado.
They found some loaded gun shells and
forthwith provided themselves with a
supply Of matches intent on having little
entertainment distnctiveIy their own.
They extracted the shot from a shell
and then touched match to the pow
der and there's where the JOKE appear
ed. The powder "sizzled." the report
echoed throughout the neishborhood and
Tom was rolling around over the north
end Of town m pain and anguish. When
things got quiet enough to make an ex-
animation it was discovered that his face
was quite severely. though not seriously,
scorched and his hair. eyebrows and eye
lashes moved down to the cu6cIe. Bill
escaped with bad scare and wasn't
close enough to come in contact with the
FIRE. 1t has doubtless been a valuable
lesson to the boys. 1t viii probably be
the last time they VIII play with matches
and powder.

TO ENLARGE GYPSUM MILL
Best Bros. & Co. Will Enlarge Gypsum
Plaster Mill and Supply Il With All
Modern Machinery.

The Medicine Lodge Gypsum and
Plaster plant is to be rebuilt, enlarged
and supplied with all modern improve
ments and conveniences. The initial
work began last week. The gypsum
mill was one among the big wrecks Of
the tornado and the matter Of rebuilding
was problemaical for nearly a month af-
ter the devastation. Soon after the storm.
however. t. J. Best got into communica-
ton with men Of wealth and experience
IN the east and the result is that plans are
FULLY matured to rebuild, enlarge, improve
and operate big plant. The raw ma
terial will be quaried on the lands pur-
chased by Mr.. Best tributary to the D.
E. & G. railroad, between Sun City and
Belvidere. and shipped to the mill for
mandatory. These lands abound in al
most unlimited quantities Of gypsum and
will keep the new mill in operation to its
full capacity for many years.
The industry, when it gets into work
ing operation, will employ forty per cent
more laborers than the old one did and
as time goes on it is believed that even
that force will be largely increased.
1t is not possible to place value on
the new institution in a monetary way but
all agree that it will be great thing for
the city and county and it is a most well
come addition to our material resources.
| his is one instance. at least, in which
gam for the community at large was
snatched out Of the jaws Of devastation.
We think that In time the mill would
have been enlarged anyway but not
nearly as quickly and perhaps not as
thoroughly had not the tornado destroy
ed the old one.

FROM the above showing it will be
observed that people who live in Medi-
cine Lodge will have the exquisite pleas
ure OF paying levy Of l23 mills or bet
ter than twelve per cent.
The county levy is lower this year
than It was last but the state levy is two
mills higher. thanks to the late lamented
legislature and Gov. Hoch's conservatory,
so that the levy for 1907 will be prac-
tcally the same as that Of 1906.
County Superintendent Thomas was
instructed to make the 1907 levy, in
school districts which have not yet re-
ported, the same as the 1906 levy.
In the matter Of the County High
School levy. the board decided that since
Medicine Lodge was the only district in
the county that was in position to take
advantage Of the Bames High School
act, levy Of one and one-half mills
would be sufficient to meet the demand.
Prof. Stout Of kiowa had made applica-
ton for portion Of the high school fund
but as the district did not maintain a four
years course ariculaing with the Fresh
men class Of the State University, last
year, as provided by, law, the. board
made an order that no levy could be
made for the kiowa district this year.
If the district maintains the course the
coming year it will be qualified to MAIN
tain county high school next year.
Next year the new tax law goes into
effect. 1t provides that all property shall
be assessed at its full cash value. If the
letter Of the law is followed it will work
a great hardship on property owners in
municipalities that are behind on their.
bonded Indebtedness and is liable to
have demoralizing effect on values in
such municipalities.
In municipalities that have their obi
cations paid up and the Indebtedness is
only nominal the new law will operate
very satisfactorily because in such cases
when valuations rise the levies drop.
Chairman Lake was not present at the
meeting, having gone to Colorado with
his family over week ago. and the.
business was transacted by Commission
ers Wadsworth and Flanagan.

1t is suit for ejectment. The defend
