OFFER Is MADE FOR B|SbEE
 PLEAS
Postmaster Receives Letter From Michigan Man Who Proposes to Pay Him $500 Per 100 for All Caught,

Postmaster Cassidy is in receipt of a tempting offer from a public bene- factor who proposes to accomplish no less phllanthropic purpose than the extemination of persistent. pugnacious and industrious flea, that pesky insect which has probably produced more anguish in the world, provoked more profanity, and has been the cause of more insomnia than any other member of the animal kingdom of its size.
 It is not the intention of the scientist to begin operations with that diminu. tive, but frisky creature which skips festively up a mans trouser leg, and when you go to put your finger on him, he isn't there-that task is too hercu. leon to be undertaken. suddenly, but he will commence on the variety which make, life miserable for sheep, and when these have been put out of business, he will have gradually work. ed up to a point where the foe to hu. man happiness may be called to ac' count for the sins of himself and his countless millions of ancestors. In order to demonstrate his scheme to the satisfaction of the public-and presumably to the satisfaction of the fieas also-the scientist wishes to se- cure a carload of the Bisbee variety and with this object in view he has addressed a letter to the postmaster asking his cooperation in thIs hu. mane undertaking.
 The letter, which is dated at De, troit, Mich, is as follows:
 Postmaster at Bisbee, Ariz. Dear Sir:- .-.. ...
 q am making an experiment to kill fieas, and would like to know if you would be able to get fieas for me
 T want the kind of fieas that get on sheep in your state-I don't want sheep ticks. but fleas. Your sheep herders there will know what they are and when to gtt them. You inquire of the ranch men, and they can likely get them for you.
 If you can get these for me, l will place an order with you by return mail, and will pay you $500 per 10C fieas.
 Please answer by return mai whether or not you can find them. enclose a stamped envelope for reply 'I don't want dog fieas, for we have that kind here"
 Postmaster Cessidy is not inclined 10 fall in with the offer of the Michi gan scientist, and will write to hin | that first, the Bisbee dirt will no assay over one flea to the 1000 cubic yards, and that second, the price offer ed is below the scale. Nothing les: than 9 $4.OO aday proposition is con sidered in Bisbee in any kind of { line. MT Cassidy will inform the writer. and unless a more tempting offer is made he can not afford to re | sign his position as postmaster to gC l into the fiea-catching business.

MR.BEESON'S WAY
Would Solve the Harvest Hand
Problem.
Appeals to General Manager
Hurley of the Santa Fe.
LET THE MEN. OFF.
Give Railroad Employes Leave
Of Absence.
Gould Take Care of Wheat in
Short Time.
LET THE MEN. OFF.

Chalk Beeson, of Dodge City, Ford
county, has appealed to General Mana
ger ]. E. Hurley of the Santa Fe rail-
way to grant a short leave of absence
to all the trackmen, trainn1en and shop
men of the company in the wheat
belt of the state who are not abso-
lutely needed to keep the trains run
ming, so that these men may be em-
ployed by the farmers to help in the
wheat harvest. -'--.-
Mr.. Beeson told his troubles to DR..
S. J. Crumbine. secretary of the state
board of health, when DR.. Crumbine
was at Dodge City last Wednesday. He
stated that things are in such shape
in Ford county that few days of
time in harvesting will mean thousands
of dollars more for the farmers. La
borers are almost unobtainable, and
Mr.. BeeSon thinks the Santa Fe can
do SO. .-.----
Another scheme that has been re-
sorted to at Dodge City is the sugges-
ton of George Goberty. the secretary
of Congressman ed Madison. Mr..
Goberty has circulated. a paper among
the merchants at Dodge City agreeing
that the merchant will allow all his
male clerks to goFout and help harvest
wheat, and that he will stay at home
with the female clerks and keep the
store open for the accommodation of
what few customers have time to
come in. Many of the stores in Dodge
City WILL beginning today. bear the
placard CLOSED for the Wheat Har-
vest" and the proprietor and all his
assistants will goz out into the wheat
fields and put in a week or ten days
helping save the Ford county wheat.
By practically closing up all the stores
it is figured that Dodge City can re-
lease four or five hundred able bodied
harvest hands. Chalk Beeson's scheme
to call on the railroad employees will,
it is figured. fill up all the needs, and
enable Ford county to save its entire
crop. The wheat in Ford county is
said - be unusually good this year.
D. A. Valentine of Clay Center tells
good story of harvest hands union
which was formed at Clay Center a few
days ago, and its ultimate fate.
There were about dozen or fifteen
last Saturday" said Mr.. Valentine, land
they gathered in the court house square
and organized themselves into union
They elected a president and secretary,
and voted that they would not work for
less than So per day. The farmers Wel.e
eager for laborers, and were offering Sc
and 1925 per day, but when they found
out that the union had been formed to
demand 49, the farmers simply went
away and left the union laborers to
themselves Nobody bothered them,
there was no necessity for employing
'scabs' In about an hour the union
members sneaked off one by one and
hired out for the prevailing price. The
union dissolved without formality."

JAPANESE DISGUSTED.
Because the Koreans Butted in at The
Hague Conference.

Seoul, July 5.-Inquiry shows that
general disgust is the main effect
among the Japanese as a result of the
conspiracy in sending a Korean depu-
tation to The Hague, the telegraphic
disclosures of which interrupted the
Korean emperor's profuse assurances
of Marquis Ito of his confidence in him
and his reform plans and especially his
supposed ardent desire for a sincere or
ganization of the cabinet Marquis Ito
is much disappointed and must now
proceed in face of the emperor's in
trigues which have falsely elated a
large section of the upper classes who
are now anticipating a miracle in
Korea.
Measures intended to rid the palace
of foreign and native mischief makers
and adventurers We're introduced by the
Japanese in the cabinet last Monday
but Marquis Ito despairs of saving the
emperor himself and the administration
is disposed to confine its appeal to the
people. Although Itos administrative
machinery is capable of administering
justice to the Korean people, Japan
has executively and in the matter of
creating blaze of operations and es-
tablishing a highway to Manchuria
been strikingly unsuccessful in Korea.
Marquis Ito declared that it would
require ten years to produce modern
government in Korea while local gov
ernors say that it will take three years
to dispose of the abuses and outrages
resulting from the contact of the
Koreans with the Japanese. The latter
are estimated to be now 100000 strong
in Korea.

DECLINE WITH THANKS.
Oakland Doesn't Want to Become Part
of Topeka.

The city of Oakland does not care to
get married. Topeka has made some
coy advances of late towards the east
ern suburban town but Oakland returns
the love hunter with an icy hauteur in
a letter which Maude V. Myers, city
clerk, responds to a proposition which
the Topeka city council made relative to
taking in Oakland
"I am instructed" says the city clerk
"by the mayor and council of this city
to say that while your cordial invitation
to them and to the citizens of Oakland
to become annexed to the city of To-
peka is appreciated, under existing
circumstances there would be some re-
suits from such action which might be
disadvantageous rather than beneficial to
the tax payers in Oakland as is evil
denced by the fact that Topeka has a
city debt of not less than $40 for every
man. woman and child within its limits
while Oakland's debt is less than one
dollar for each individual. If this could
be equalized your invitation would merit
consideration"

Fred Smith Said to Let Senator Dick
Have Large Sum.

Columbus, o., July 5.-Charles F.
Dick, United States senator, has been
borrowing large sums of public mon
ey, giving as security stock in the
Western Cereal company, according to
the report of Frank Parmelee, state
examiner. who has just completed an
examination of the books of the city
and county treasurer in Akron.

came known as the result of the tech
nical shortage of Fred Smith, former
treasurer.
Senator Dick is expected to give out
a statement regarding the shortage of
Fred E. Smith, caused by lending pub
lie funds to his friends. His shortage
is placed at $172 992. His shortage as
treasurer of the county and of the
school board is given as s104.09S. Smith
has made good the latter and is now
trying to square up with the city
Among the securities given Smith by
people to whom he had loaned the pub
lie moneys, are three notes. given by
Dick & Miles" on July 6, 1906, for
$4,000 each. Only $1,000 has been paid
on these notes.
The Dick mentioned in the notes
is United States Senator Charles Dick,
and his explanation of borrowing the
public funds is awaited with interest.
