She ATE TWO PIECES.
Duchess of Marlborough Sampled the
Pie Sold to Immigrants.

New York, Nov. 16.-Consuelo, Ouch
ess of Marlborough, who recently visit
ed the Tombs, has now inspected the
immigrant station at Ellis island. She
was accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarence Mackey. immigration COM
missioner Robert Watchorn and Assist
ant Commissioner Murray showed the
party about. The duchess and her
friends assumed the role of immigrants
for the time being and thus obtained
an insight into the workings of the i'm
migrant station which they might not
otherwise have gained. They went
through all the departments and saw
all there was to be seen. Occasionally,
when they came across a family of for
eigners which particularly appealed to
them, the two ladies would give its
members coins, whereat the quantity
clad children and mothers would at
tempt to kiss the donors gloved hands.
When the party reached the lunch
counter in the railroad room. where
boxes containing bologna sausage. two
sandwiches, four pieces of pie, two ap-
pies and a chunk of bread, are sold,
the duchess and Mrs. Mackey decided
to sample the food. They tasted the
sandwiches and the pie and the duchess
found the latter so good she had an.
other piece. On returning to Manhat-
tan the duchess said that she had a
very pleasing visit and she thought
that Commissioner Watchorn should
be congratulated on the cleanliness of
the buildings and the consideration
shown the immigrants.

AFTER GROCER TRUST.
Colorado Attorney General Starts Suit
to Break 1t Up.

Denver, Nov. 1S.-Attorney General
William H Dickson has begun an ac-
tion under the common law in the Den
yer district court with view to break
ing up the so-called grocers' trust OPP
Grating in Colorado. The Retail Mer-
chants Association of Colorado and it's
branches In sixty-three cities and towns
of the state, the Denver Jobbers' AS
ISOLATION, the Denver Grocers' Associa-
ton and about twenty jobbers are
named as defendants and injunctions'
are sought to restrain them from ar
bitrarily fixing prices and from refus-
ing to sell supplies to retail grocers I'M
less they charge the prices fixed by the
alleged trust. The complaint alleges
that the prices of food stuffs have
maintained 20 per cent higher than
they would have been If there had been
no trust.
Acting upon the advice of their attor-
neys, James c. Craig, secretary of the
Rocky Mountain Coal Mems Associa-
ton and Alfred Reichard. secretary of
the Denver Coal Association refused to
appear before a notary in the attorney
generals office for examination regard
ing the operations of the coal trust
against which suit has been brought in
the district court.

ed their enthusiasm mounted higher
! and higher. Erwin was playing like a
mailman.
The New York Herald handed the
Kansan this laudatory notice after the
Yale game:
Throughout the afternoons stern
battling for the upper hand one man
stood out head and shoulders over both
teams-stood out like a beacon on
win, and he is affectionately called
Red by his brothers in arms. Again
and again this sturdy Army guard tore
the blue attack apart, and again and
again he swept away the Yale inter-
ference like a mere eddy of autumn
leaves, bringing the Yale runners to
earth invariably without gain. Down
out on both ends of the line, plugging
up the openings in the line, and hinging
back the massed Yale assaults on the
center, the big, redheaded guard was
here, there and everywhere"
Erwin learned the rudiments Of the
gridiron game on the Dickinson county
high school team. When he took the
physical examination to enter West
Point his record was SO, the highest
sas.
His father, John Erwin. owns large
farm near Chapman, and the football
giant used to cultivate corn and shock
wheat in the summer time. His brother,
Vincent Erwin, entered the naval acad-
emy at Annapolis this fall. He is also
a football man. The friends and adj
speculate on the outcome of the an
nual game between the Army and
Navy with a Red Erwin on. either
team.

Gentlemen: We wish to let you
know the wonderful effects of your
great remedy, Sa1var, had on our lit
tie darling. She was broken out
from head to foot with that dreaded
disease, eczema, after trying every
thing we could here of and doctoring
with the best medical skill that could
be found, with no benefits obtained
and having suffered everything, and
having lost hope of ever being cured,
was called upon by your general agent,
J. A. Policy, and being assured that a
cure could be obtained and knowing
Mr.. Policy for years, we concluded to
give it a trial. How thankful we are
to you and Mr.. Policy for the benefits
derived. as she is sound and well to-
day., after using one-half bottle. 1t
seems miraculous of its healing pow-
ers. this the fifteenth day of Novem-

said Mr.. Thomas. 'in fact we aim to
make everything in the instruction line
as nearly practical for the apprentice
as is possible. To this end we use no
text books, but prepare the lessons our
selves. What we want in our schools
is men Of practical knowledge and the
schools are being established for the
purpose of securing for the road the
highest type of machinists which we
can. 1t is practice rather than the the
Dry that makes a good mechanic and
we only teach enough theoretical
knowledge to go along with the prac-
teal"
1t is the intention of the management
of the shop school to keep record of
the different apprentices during their
apprenticeship and after career as ma
chinists. If they prove efficient in all
lines they will command the leading
places in the management of shops and
the different departments of mechani-
cal work, other things being equal AL

great success as the attendance at their
triweekly session indicates The aver
age attendance at the. classes is in the
neighborhood of seventy men three
times a week with the prospects good
for a healthy increase. The total reg
istration of the class has been increased

While the only school for appren-
tices already in operation is the To-
peka school. plans have been COM
pleted for the starting of schools at
other places. At San Bernardino.

completed for the opening of a sch DOL.

Later on school for apprentices will
be started at Albuquerque, N. M,
Shopton, Iowa, Newton, Kan, Ration,
N M, and other division points of the
Santa Fe.
The establishment of these chools
by the Santa Fe IS a step right In line
with many others which they have
taken for the improvement of their
employees such as the reading rooms,
bonus system and many others. 1t
shows a fine spirit on the part OF the
Santa Fe and if the men who are thus
benefited reciprocate with their good
will towards the railroad company the
future loyalty of the mechanical en-
ployes should be insured.

ERWINS PROWESS
How a Kansas Boy Won His Place on
Army Football Team.

When West Point held Yale to a to
0 score in the first big football game of
the season the game revealed the pres
ence of a gridipmn star whose real abil-
ity had hitherto been unsupported.
From a position of comparative obscur-
ity his work in one game has caused
him to be classed as one of the phe-
noms of the season on eastern grid
irons, and he has continued to star.
Eastern sporting writers regard him as
one of the foremost candidates for tho
1907 All American team. His name is
William Erwin and he comes from
Kansas, having been born at Chapman
twenty-four years ago. He was ap-
pointed to West Point in 1904.

Improvement Of Cemetery

To attempt to improve the
grounds of the city cemetery,
without the removal of the con.
fusion and misappropriation
which has come upon it since
falling into the hands OF our city
would be time worse than wasted
To allow things to go on as they
have, will only be to pay the
price of sloth; our cemetery will
eventually become nothing better
than mere dumping ground.
But with the hearty support Of
our citizenship and the willing
work of a few public-spirited
citizens, the City of our Dead
can be made a thing of pride
1. The task Of improvement il
not so easy as it would have been
five years ago. Five years hence
it may be ten times worse. Some
mistakes are already beyond
righting, and rs time goes on he
difficulty increases. The first
step in the matter of improve
ment is to recall the misstpp- Of
the past, The title must be
fully restored, the graves scatter
ed promiscuously over the
grounds must be put in proper
places The plat books must be
a faithful record Of all transac
tions, and when this ia do we
are in position to begin any
real improvement,

Frank Barkman's Slayer Here

MT. J. D. Hood, young man of Minden, La., this afternoon walked into the Sheriff'S office and quitely introduced himself to Ed Hood, expecting to trace a relationship. The Sheriff an nounced that his father came to this country in 1886, and was ap- pointed by the government assur- veyor, and laid off the land plats of the county. The younger gen. tleman S father came from South Carolina, and no kin could he traced.
 But the fact was developed du- ring the conversation that the young MT. Hood was the slayer of Frank Barkmanat Minden, La., a few months ago, and the act was committed in self defense, as he has never been tried for the act, and the case was dismis- ed.
 Frank Barkman is we'll known by reputation here as citizen ot TeXarkana, who served term in the Texas penitentiary for mur. der. After the expiration of his sentence he went to Louisiana, where he secured a position in a railroad office.
 The trouble resulting in his death arose over a love affair, and in attempting to shoot Mir. Hood, the latter got the drop on Bark man, and shot him four times in self defense. Even MT. Bark mans brothers do not blame Mr Hood for the act.
 MT. Hood has secured a posi-. tion at the Ozan mill and will probably remain citizen of our town for some time.
