NIGHT RIDERS WHIP WOMEN.
Fail to Force Them to Tell Where
abouts of Missing Husbands.

Glands Landing, Ky. Sept. rs
Might riders whipped Mrs. Kate
Williams and Mrs. Jennie Freeman
last night because they would not re-
veal the whereabouts of their hus-
bands. The women were dragged
from their beds and taken to the road
in front of their homes, where
switches were applied by several men
who wore masks over their faces. De-
spite their suffering the women would
not tell where their husbands were
and the baffled men rode away.
The husbands of the women had
been warned to join the Association"
a local organization of the Planters
Protective association, on pain of tor
ture. The warning sent to them was
accompanied by a bundle of switches
and left on their front porch. They
would not join the association and
had been talking against the organiza-
ton, which is claimed to secure better
prices for tobacco. When they sus-
pected that the riders" would search
for them last night they went to the
home of a brother of Williams mile
away. The women remained at home,
thinking that their houses and barns
might be burned if there was no one
to witness the depredations of the
riders"

LONG ON CUBA's FUTURE.
The Senator Thinks the United States
Will Annex the Island

Kansas City, Kan. Sept. 25.-That
the United States will some day annex
Cuba as a dependent state is the pre-
Giction of Chester I Long, United States
senator from Kansas. He addressed
about 5000 negroes of Kansas City at
the annual emancipa ton exercises at
Booker Washington park.
I'VE gave Cuba independence he
said but it will become part of the
United States. In my opinion the time
is not far distant when Uncle Sam will
take Cuba as his own. 1t will try gov
eminent for itself. but will take refuge
under our flag in the endr'
Senator Long spoke more than two
hours. Here are some other extracts
from his address:
Discussion of the repeal of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments are
useless The time will never come when
those amendments will be taken from
the constitution.
'Disfranchisement no matter under
what guise. is wrong and Congress
must see to it by appropriate fegisla-
ton that the suffrage granted to. you
people by the fifteenth amendment, is
enforced in every state in the Union.
In thirty-five years you have
doubled in number. the more of you
there are the better you will get along
and the less likely are you to be
trampled upon. Keep on growing
When you can agree with the Bible and
President Roosevelt, and when they
both agree, you are pretty sure to be
right"

SALT PACKERS FOR 1908.
Hutchinson Now Figuring on Its Ball
Team for Next Season.

Hutchinson. Kan, Sept. 25.-The
News says:
What about next year?" is a ques-
ton being asked on every side. So far
as Hutchinson is concerned there will
be a team here and in the Western as
ISOLATION. The Salt Packers will lose
a few of their best. These will go to
higher leagues.
The prospects of another good team
here next year are very good. Two or
three real good pitchers are needed to
take the place of Fleharty and Wood.
Another good outf1elder to take Petit
crews place and another good second
baseman to fill Casey's shoes
We are left with Barbour. McInne3
and Siezemore for the pitching staff.
Barbour was one of the very best this
year. Siezemore improved all the time.
McInnes, with good care may be able to
get back into his old time form.
Lewis and Noyes will still be here
for the backstop work. Tonneman
hasn't yet proven good as a catcher.
He seems to be much better as an in
last month at second was very COM
rnendable-
link. Johnson and Andrews are still
here for the other infield positions. VIII
son will again be in the outf1eld. Noyes
is as fast as any outfielder in the league
and he may stay in the out garden for
good next year.
DR.. Andrews is figuring on managing
the team again next year and this in
itself is guarantee of winning team

wAsHBURN RoAsTs NEWSPAPERS
Do Not Give Enough Attention to To-
peka College, Says Newspaper.


There are few people in Kansas who
will not remember the campaign made
by Washburn college in Topeka for
$4,000 only a few months ago. The
newspapers devoted many columns of
space to the cause of the college with
out charge and there has never been
time when Washburn did not receive
cordial and usually unsolicited support
from the newspapers. Therefore the
following editorial from the Washburn
Review published evidently with the
approval of the faculty appears i'll
timed to say the least:
Back to old K. u says the head
lines of a Topeka daily and columns
are filled with good dope concerning the
opening of the university, Soon Baker
will be getting scare heads in Topeka
dailies and she will be claiming every
thing from 1000 students to a champion
checker player. But what about WASH
burn? Washburn, which means thou
sands and thousands of dollars to To-
peka every year gets her free advertis-
ing in Snap Shots and The Reporters
Last Look Around No scare heads for
Washburn unless some unlucky student
is caught using his pony in class and
then the papers scream. Good things
are never appreciated until they are
gone"

William ]. Bryan,

commentator OF William ]. Bryan,
saying:
I'VE, the Democratic party of Ne
braska, in delegate convention assem-
bled, express our continued confidence
in, and admiration for, William Jen-
nings Bryan; and reassert our fidelity
to the principles which he has SO ably
advocated. and which at this time are
so generally accepted by a large ma
jority of the people of the United
States"
The platform approves of the laws
prohibiting the pass and rebate and
insists on further legislation making
it unlawful for any corporation to-
make gifts to campaign funds 1t op-
poses the Capitalization idea and de-
clares for the election of United
States senators by direct vote An i'm
mediate revision of the tariff is urged
and an income tax favored. On the
question of trusts the platform says in
part:
"A private monopoly is indefensible,
and intolerab BILE. We, therefore, favor
the vigorous enforcement of the Grim
inal law against trusts and trust mag
mates, and demand the enactment of
such additional legislation as may be
necessary to make it impossible for a
private monopoly to exist in the Unit
ed States"
Declarations are made for state and
national boards Of trade and an s.

junction, and for protection of for

TAFT is ENDORSED.
Nebraska Republicans Declare He Is
the Men for President.

Lincoln. Neb.. Sept 25.-Nebraska
Republicans in state convention
unanimously Endorsed William H.
Taft for the presidential nomination
The convention was unique in Ne
braska, in that its only work was the
adoption of q platform, the new pri-
mary law having taken from the con-
vention the power of nominating can
didates.
An unqualified Endorsement of
President Roosevelt's administration
and leadership is given in the Repub-
lican platform. A continuation of his
policies is insisted on, and a reference
10 Secretary Taft is made as follows:
while not presuming to forestall
the action of any future convention We
express the belief that the Repub-
licans of Nebraska recognize in Will
liam H Taft of Ohio one whose per-
sonal character and whose long public
service mark him IS prominently the
man under whose leadership these
policies would be perpetuated."
The platform declares the Republic
can party of the state committed to
the following reforms. which it has in
augurated:
a wide direct primary
Abolition of the free pass evil.
Comprehensive powers for the state
railway commission
More equitable rates for transporta-
ton Of passengers and freight.
Equal taxation of railroad property
Abolition Of fellow servant law and
full employers liability.
On federal judiciary interference in
states the platform says:
I'VE favor the enactment of a fed
eral law and. il necessary, amendment
TO the federal constitution which will
forbid the federal courts from issuing
writs of injunction against state off
GERS charged by law with the en-
forcement of state statutes"
The Democratic Convention.
The feature of the Democratic con-
Vention was the speech of w ].
Bryan. He congratulated the party,
state and national. on having emerged
from the valley of the shadow of death
which. he said, the Republicans. hope
lessly divided. were just entering He
insisted that the title of Great Post
poner" belonged to Secretary Taft, be-
cause. while he favored tariff reform
he was Obliged by the party pressure
TO advocate putting off the day of ac-
tion. Mr.. Bryan assisted in drafting
the platform and its declarations are
assumed to reflect his views of what
the national party declarations should
be in 1908.

IOLA'S MODEL STREETS.
VIII Make Asphaltum Pavement Win
Cinders and Oil.

lola. Kan. Sept 25.-Iola expects to
| have the finest streets in Kansas, pro-
viding the plans of the. city council
turn out right. They are conducting
experiments on the questions of oiiing
the streets, and they think they have
struck a solution that will enable Ioia
to have practically asphaltum streets
without going to the immense expense
which those streets have heretofore
cost.
In nearly all the oil in. this part of
the country there is strong asph alum
base. Oil of this sort is the very
cheapest oil on the market. a para
fine base is the valuable oil. Nearly all
the Allen county oil is asphaltum base.
c. d. Webster, the Humboldt refiner
has offered twenty barrels of oil free
to conduct an experiment with. DR..
Glynn has figured it out that by drag
ging the roads thoroughly, making
solid earth base that a mixture of Gin
ders and oil will make an ideal street
and road. The cinders are strong in
oxide of iron and asphaltum fiuxes
nicely with this. In addition to the
upper layer of sand as it is on regu-
larry made asphaltum streets.
In a pit in Humboldt there are
dozens of wagon loads of asphaltum
taken from oil which Mr.. Webster
has refined He offers this free to
the city. Two methods are in use for
getting it ready for the streets, one to
heat it and the other to redissolve ii
with OIL The latter method will prob
ably be used here. The heating process
is more expensive.
After experiments have been con-
Quoted and if they prove a success
and the city will have oil enough to
oil their own streets practically. The
city owns several wells which produce
oil. This oil will have to be pumped,
but that is a slight expense. Mr.. Web
ster wants 90. cents a barrel for his
oil. DR.. Glynn says that it is safe to
figure that half a gallon of oil will
be about thirteen barrels to the block.
THE experiment is worth the slight
cost" Street Commissioner Walker
said today we are spending 300 a
year to keep the streets clean and we
are doing not more than half job at
that"

ARE CANNING PUMPKINS.
Hutchinson Plant Starts Up But No

Hutchinson. Kan, Sept. 25-The plant
of the Hutchinson Canning and Storage
company has started up with about two
dozen employees. The company is pack
ing pumpkin and a great deal of this
juicy stuff is being made ready for ia
bic use. The plant is working in good
order and it is probable that it will be
operated long enough to put a large
quantity of canned pumpkin on the
market.
Ihere was such a scarcity of toma-
toes this year that none have been Of
fered to the company for packing and
there will be nothing done in this line
