CASE WAS COWBOY ONCE.
He Drove Cattle from Fort Sill to
Abilene in '7O's.

Topeka Capital; When 5. B. Case
returned from Muskogee this week
with the honor of being president OF
the lrans-Mi,sissippi Congress he re-
ceived reception from his tOwnspeo-
pie that was testimonial to his high
standing at home. 1t was the first
time that the honor has come to a
town the size Of Abilene and the fact
that Mr.. Case was chosen over several
millionaires who wanted the place
was highly creditable. Mr.. Case has
been identified with the history Of the
town since its cattle days, He herded
Texas cattle as boy and drove herds
from Fort Sill to this city and to
Wichita. He is owner Of the largest
department store in the city vice pres
ident OF the Abilene National bank,
president Of trust company, posses
Sor of big alfalfa farm just east Of
town and altogether a prominent
financial factor in the community.
He has never been candidate for po-
litical position aud has never held an
office other than one Of honor, which
is remarkab for a Kansan.

KNOCKS SQUARE DEALERS.
Rees Says He FavOrs Majority Pri-
mary Vote,

Judge Rees of Ottawa county has
announced his platform for his race
for the Republican nomination for
congress. Most of 1t is made up Of
propositions on which all Republicans
stand but there is surprise in his
primary demand in which says of the
law: THAT it should be so framed,
SO far as practicable, to secure the
right Of the majority to control"
This is directly opposed to the Stubbs
square dealers demand which is for a
plurality nomination. The square
dealers are not likely to flock to Rees
after such q declaration.

Ward School Players,

The Knights Of Honor football team
came off victor in the game with the
Philips ward school team at Salina
Friday, by score of 9 to 0. The Sa'
lima boys worked hard and we'll but
they couldn't keep the X. OF H. boys
from crossing their goal line. The
K. of H. touchdown was made by Ivan
Fitzwater. With the ball on its own
ten yard line the Salina team at
tempted to punt, but Fitzwater broke
through the line and blocked the kick
and then fell on the ball back Of the
goal line. The K. OF H. failed t, kick
goal. The other four points were
made by "Six" John Mcdonald. With
the ba on the twenty-five yard line
he made a beautiful drop kick and
counted the final score. McDonald's
kicking is one Of the bright features
of the K. of H, play and he displays
marked ability in booting the pigskin,
his trusty left toe never failing to
send the oval the required distance
with unerring aim.

1t was an ideal day for football and
everyone made the most of it.
The game all through was a grul-

several times for players who were
hurt. The play was in the Aggies

game. The first touchdown was
made by Captain Bryan. After an

Indian Buu Eakera.

reporter went over into the Indian
Territory and ate locusts with the
full bloods. He says: 1.-THE insects are
caught at night just before they are
strong enough to fly away. The In
dams select a smooth spot of ground
where they have ascertained that the
grubs are plentiful and clean 1t off
nicely. When 1t is dark they go to the
place thus prepared with torches and
beat the ground with a maui or jump
up and down on 1t, with the result
that the young locusts swarm out and
are swept into bags and baskets,
where they are sailed, put in an oven
and Drowned. Impelled by curiosity,
the writer took helping Of the sus-
picious looking bugs and bit gingerly
a plump one in the middle and then
ate the whole bug and helped himself
to more, for he found that the locust
was not a bad tasting bug at all. 1t
has a flavor somewhat like that OF a
dried herring or sailed peanuts, and
the crisp, brown bugs make very good
eating. Joplin (Mo) News-Herald.
