The bachelor Girl"

Bachelor girl" is said to be dis

Ben Jonson used the word bachelor
to mean single woman. In the old
French "bachelette' meant young
and pretty girl, especially il she had
a lover. Etymology has nothing to
say against feminine bachelor"
since the word seems to be the late
Latin "baccalarius," farm servant
or more literally cowherd (bacca or
vacca, meaning cow, and "baccalari-

Two Cents per Mile

: The report of the Union Pa
cifc railway, filed-with the state
board of railroad commissioners
frankly ad mits that the company
is getting only 2.074 cents per
mile for its passenger business
in Kansas, and the entire pass
enger, earnings for the entire
system amount to only LOGS
cents per mile.
Yet in spite of this fact, the
passenger earnings in Kansas
were ST, l,966,4 44S for the year,
while the gross earnings of the
entire Union Pacific line were
|$45,5l2933. This dosn't look as
though two cent fare is confis-
catory.
The net income of the Union
Pacific for the year is shown to
be $27, ,932,O2I. The company
paid 10 per cent on it's common
stock, aggregating $19,5 ,548, ,240 in
dividends, and 4 per cent on its
preferred stock, aggregating So
982.772. After paying all ex-
penses and dividends a surplus
of 81. .3Ol ,O09 was laid by on the
years earnings and added to the
surplus already existing to make
total surplus of Sls,s66, ,795.
The Union Pacific has 3,1e9
employees lin Kansas, whose
average pay is $2.ol per day.
The total number of employees
on the entire line is 22,124, with
an average pay of $5,27 per day.
The higher pay for the entire
line is because the high salaried
officials are included in the list,
and not many of them live in
Kansas.
The total freight tonnage
Which Kansas gave the line was
2,000,521 while the total tonnage
for the entire line was $3.50, ,686.
Kansas has therefore contribut-
ed about one fourth of the entire
freight business of the Union
Pacific.

Awful Tragedy.
Geo. Pat.) Egee Shoots Vim. Plumb to
Death.

Not since the Wetzel murder a
year and half ago has this com
munity been so rudely shocked
than the news portrayed in our
headlines gave to the people as it
flashed over the wires through
out the country last Wednesday
afternoon. For several days Geo.
Egee had been showing an ugly
temper and some sort of an out
break was expected. But such
actions before were not considered
sufficient to justify the authorities
in taking action to have him put
in a place of safety and so his acts
were tolerated to a most sad and
awful ending. In some way Geo.
had procured an ounce bottle of
aconite and in the afternoon in
one of his spells took a dose of it.
Mrs. Egee called in Harry Wool
um, a near neighbor, and Geo.
requested him to call the doctor.
Harry returned to his own home,
where he had a phone, to call a
doctor. Before returning he
went over to VIM Plumb'S and
had him go back to Egee'S with
him. As soon as they reached
the door Egee picked up a re-
peatiag rifle and rushed towards
them. Both men ran in opposite

dlrectfOnS- he followed Mr..
Plumb and shot four times. One
ball entered the cheek and came
out of the mouth. Another ball
struck the back of the neck and
ranged downward, coming out of
the breast. Our informant did
not know where the other balls
took effect, if at all Mr.. Plumb
fell about rs feet from the house.
Egee then turned to Mr.. Woolum
and commanded him to stop and
go to the house with him, threat
ening to- shoot if he disobeyed.
They returned to the house and
shortly afterwards Geo. picked
up the aconite bottle and swal-
lowed the balance of the contents
and in about twenty minutes was
dead. The alarm was soon given
and the world was informed of
another horrible tragedy.
Late last fall Geo. Egee sud-
denly disappeared from Hill City
and for several days his where
abouts were a perfect mystery.
He was finally located in Ken
lucky afd later brought home.
Following this a charge of inSan
ity was lodged against him and
he was brought before the pro
bate Judge for trial. Through
the efforts of his brother, Dick
Egee, of Lenora, the trial was
postponed and eventually drop
ped. The people most familiar
with Egee's tendencies felt that
it was a mistake and that he
shoulW have been placed where
he gould have had treatment
and xhe public saved from pos
sible farm. Too late now for re
grets. A peacable, kind, old,
gentleman who would not harm

in death, his family suffering un-
told agonies over his great mis-
fortune. And George, whom no
one could utter a word, lies

lie it were only possible to know
the proper course to pursue
what a world of suffering and
death might be avoided, but it is

takes. City Republican.

comparison to divide the entire
period into two equal parts. By
this method we find the average
annual wind run of the first
seventeen complete years, 1873
1889, to be 134, 3S9 miles; and OF
the second seventeen years,
189O-1906, 119, ,25S miles. This
gives an average reduction of Is,
137 miles per annum for the
second half of our period of OBJ
servation as compared with the
first half. Stated in another way,
the average velocity of the wind
for the first seventeen years was
1874 miles an hour, while for
the second seventeen years it
was only 1851 miles an hour,
giving a reduction of nearly II
per cent.
1t thus appears that the obser-
vations of nearly forty years
made continuously by, and under
the direction of the writer, in
dicate gradual change in the
climate at Lawrence, Kansas.
And as this locality presents a
typical Illustration of the climatic
conditions of eastern Kansas, it
is safe to infer that the same
changes are taking place over
the entire regiou of which it
forms a part The rainfall and
atmospheric humidity have in
creased, and the wind velocity
has decreased. The change in
the rainfall and wind velocity
has been in each case more than
ten per cent, while the increase
in the atmospheric humidity has
been more than six per cent.
And these results are based not
upon the recollections of the
oldest Inhabitants, but upon
the faithful records of actual OBJ
servations. F. II. SNOW

Good Suggestions by Judge Ruppenthal.


The Judge of the District
Court ordered twenty four petit
jurors drawn for the March
term after having been advised
by officials and attorneys that so
many would likely be needed.
When they assembled on the
second day of court, nine of them
were excused at once for reasons
which, except as to one man,
should have kept their names off
the jury list in the first instance.
Three were over 6Osyears of age,
and two of these over 70; two
were not sufficiently familiar
with the English language; three
were very deaf and one was sick.
None of these except the sick
man, should ever have been put
on the jury list. Having these
names on the list resulted in use
less expense TO Trego county
and annoyance to the men so Sc
lected, drawn and summoned.
The time of year is again at
hand for the trustees to make up
their jury lists. This is required
by law to be done during April.
If each trustee will take care to
exclude all names of persons who
the law says are disqualified,
there can be no such unSatisfac-
tory happenings as that above
related
The trustees in April should
select suitable persons for jurors
from the assessment roll of the
preceding year. Such persons
should be voters, of fair charac-
ter and approved integrity, in
possession of their natural fac
ulties, not infirm or decrepit.
Further, they should be well in
formed. The trustees should al
so be careful to exclude from the
jury list all persons who solicit
selection as jurors in any way !;
also all persons who have served
as jurors in the probate or dis
trict court within the preceding
year; all over so years of age
all who hold Office under laws of
state or nation; all lawyers, ply
sicians, ministers, professors,
teachers, ferymen, members of
fire companies, pharmacists and
assistant pharmacists. The
blind, deaf, sickly, weak-minded
and vicious should be excluded.
The trustee is required to Sc
lect at least one person for each
fifty inhabitants of his township,
and he may select as many more
as he cares to up to the full limit
of all qualified persons in his
township. The larger the list
the greater the probabilities of
securing jurors against whom
none can hint that any prejudice,
partiality, favoritism or design
was shown by a trustee for or
against any person, or class of
persons
The several trustees of Trego
county are respectfully asked to
consider these Su0OeStiOnS this
spring before making and re
turning their lists to the county
clerk
