President Selected Design

BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-The late
Augustus Saint Gaudens selection of
the charming head of a pretty Irish
waitress for the new gold coin soon
TO be minted, has brought criticism
from an unexpected source.
So-called patriotic societies are de-
luging the Treasury Department with
remonstrances. The tenor of the COM
plant is that the selection is un-
American.
The designs for the new gold coins
were selected by President Roosevelt
and it is said that he has made a wide
departure from the conventional de-
signs. The coins are being mnted and
win be put into circulation late this
fall. This may forestall the action Of
certain obiectors. who proposed bring
ing their complaints before Congress.

Joseph Heron, Benton hardware
dealer, ran into trouble in this city
last week. In company with clerk,
Jess Levick, of Wichita he was NOV
ing stock of hardware and harness
out of the country, leaving nice as
sortment of debts at Benton, and he
was detected by the merest accident.
Sheriff McCracken was keeping close
eye on the incoming trains for the
burglars or goods in the zfowa and
Coldwater robberies, and he noticed
this stock of goods as it was being I'M
loaded. He noticed that Heron and
Levick acted strangely and an investi-
CATION showed that the shipping point
had been erased from all the boxes ex-
cepting that the word Benton APP
peared partly on one. Telephone
communication developed the fact
that the stock was taken away from
Benton secretly and the sheriff wasin-
structed to hold the men. On Thurs
day r. III. Hall and Guy Truax, repre-
senting the Simmons Hardware Com
pany, and P. o. Russell, representing
the International HaryesterC Company.
arrived and interviewed the men. 1t
was found that Levick had no con-
nection with the transaction other
than an employe of Heron, and he
was released. He went from here to
Kiowa. Heron accompanied the
creditors to Wichita and promised to
| fix matters up. No criminal proceeds
| ings were instituted. Hugh Wood
ward had purchased set Of new har-
ness at half price before the parties
were detained. His money was re-
turned to him and he surrendered the
harness. When the men came to town

The burglary business was on the
boom at Kiowa and Coldwater Tues.
day. night of last week. At Kiowa the
York-Key house was entered, the safe
blown open and $500 in cash and fine
goods taken. At Coldwater the stores
of J.:H. Alderdice and P A. Johnston
were burglarized and in each case the
safes, were dynamited but there the
robbers were less fortunate, securing
only about 500 from both stores. The
burglarieS in each town took place al
about the same hour at night and in
each instance the criminals covered
their tracks so that so far there is not
the remoteSt clue. Large rewards fol-
their arrest have been offered.

Meeting to Discuss Water Problem.

:
AT the direction Of the Commercial
Club a mass meeting Of the citizens Of
Medicine Lodge will be held at the
Club room In the Higgins building on
Saturday evening Of this week, Ga. 9Th,
at 8 o'clock for the purpose of formulat-
ing plan by which ii is hoped to raise
funds to put IN good well and stand
pipe to take the place Of the dam and
water ditch on the citys water system.
Every administration the city has had for
the past fifteen years has pronounced the
ditch and dam a failure, but the high
waters and storms this year have greatly
increased the expense Of maintaining them.
1t is claimed that if the city could have
the money back that it has expended on
the ditch and dam it would have suG-
Gent money to not only put in a well
and standpipe but sufficient more to
operate the plant for len years.
Competent estimates place the cost of
putting IN the standp pipe and well and
connecting to the city mains, at ST. 5000.
The plan proposed is this: Let 100
men volunteer to subscribe 500 each
for the use of the city. without interest,
and bind themselves to give the city the
privilege Of taking it up in water rents.
1t has already been suggested that this is
a scheme to eventually take the system
out Of the city's control and put it into
the possession Of private individuals, but
we are assured that, should the plan be
agreed upon, every safeguard will be
provided SO that the city will continue to
own it.
The present mayor and council de-
clare that unless something is done the
city will be without water in the course
of very few gears. Every citizen should
attend this meeting and if the plan sug-
gested does not meet your approval,
probably you can suggest better one.
If there are those who believe a good.
substantial dam can be built at moder-
ate expense, one that will not break at
every high water, it is their duty to come
out and disclose the plan.
The people who are in favor Of aban-
doning the ditch and dam claim that it
costs about $1,000 year to maintain
them and if this be true, it is poor bust
ness proposition to cling to them.
Everybody come to the meeting.
