Homesteader May Become
Millionaire.

Russell Springs Leader
VIM. Douglas, the aged colored
inventor, has been in Cleveland,
Ohio. for some time, negotiating
for the sale of his patent binding
attachment for harvesters. This
attachment applied to harveSterS
will do away with the expense
of using twine to bind the bun
dies of grain, and will substitute
straw bands. The device is one
of the most unique things in me-
chanics that the writer has ever
seen. All the movements of the
intricate mechanism are positive
and the way it separates the
straw from the bundle, twists
from it the band and neatly ties
the bundle, impreSSeS one with
the thought that the machine
must be endowed with almost
human intelligence. So valuable
is this invention of Mr.. Douglas
considered that the harvest
trust some time ago offered him
S5OO,OOO for it. Mr.. Douglas be-
lieved that he should have 81 ,0OO,-
600 for his his patent, and so re
fused the offer. The inventors
Son-in-law informs US that the
prospects are good for a favor
able termination of the present
negotiations. We trust this will
prove to be the case, and that
Mr.. Douglas will come home a
millionaire. For the benefit of
those who do not know the in
ventor of this mechanical wonder
we will simply say that Mr..
Douglas is an ex-slave, now S5
years old and lives in sod house
on homestead a few miles from

Dear Sir:
[ see an article in the World
written from South Trego that
Gunckel, Chance & Chenewooth,
each, had traded a quarter sec
ton of land for a stock of mer-
chandiSe in Clifton, Kans. The
fact is Mr.. Cheneworth is not in
the merchandise business.
Gunckel bought a farm of Chene-
worth and with Mr.. Chance
traded the half section for a ten
thousand dollar stock of mer-
chandise in Clifton, Kans. The
deal is closed and we are enjoy
ing a fine trade.
This city is situated in Clay
and Washington counties, the
county line dividing the city.
There are three lines of railroads,
two banks one First National
and one State-fve churches,
fine school building, two large
hotels and several fine large
stores. And am glad to say not

There is an energetic woman down
In Verona, N. j., who is also devoted
wife and mother, who Is not expending
energy in working for her rights"
She Is exercising them. She has just
constructed, largely with her own
hands, a four-story concrete house
which Is the admiration OF the neigh
borhood. The woman has an invalid
husband and three young children, and
she was determined to have a suitable
home for them. She planned the house,
mixed the concrete, constructed the
molds in which the material was
shaped and did much other hard work
on the structure, her only assistants
being three ordinary laborers. And
she has house which is said to EN-.
body new and commendable ideas, in
which she and her family take great
Joy. Somehow, there does not appear
to be much Of an argument for woman
suffrage in this, but there is a sugges-
ton of what affection, capacity and
sturdy spirit can accomplish.

PRESIDENT THREATENS PROSE-

Will Try to Reach With Criminal Law
Those Guilty of Utterine False
hoods Regarding the
Canal.

Washington, Dec. Eff they can

try to have them reached said Pres
ident Roosevelt In speaking Thurs
day afternoon about those Americans
who have been guilty of Infamous
falsehood concerning the acquisition
Of the property and the construction
Of the (Panama) canal itself" 1t was
to the committee of 100 of the Lakes
to-the-Gulf Deepwaterway association,
headed by Gov. Deneen of Illinois, re-
ceived by the president in the East
room Of the White House that he
made this declaration.
Gov. Deneen had presented a copy
of the resolutions adopted by the asso-
citation and made a few remarks to
which the president replied as fol
lows:
Il have felt, as the governor has SO
we'll put it, that no more important
service could be rendered to this coun-
try than the building of the Panama
canal between the Atlantic and the
Pacific, and one thing | am proud of
in connection with the building of that
canal Is that there has not been legiti-
mate cause for the breath of scandal
connected with any feature of the pro-
ceeding. We have cause TO be
ashamed of only one set OF Ameri-
cans in connection with the building
Of the canal, and that is of those
Americans who have been guilty of
Infamous falsehood concerning the ac-
quisition of the property and the con.
struction of the canal itself. If they
can be reached for criminal libel, !
shall try to have them reached. If
not, ae any rate all the facts we know

physical standpoint to building the
Panama canal comes the question Of
developing the use Of our own water
ways. That must be done by the pol
Icy of irrigation at the headwaters up
in the arid regions; and where you
come from, gentlemen, it is to be
done by making our seacoast lake a
big loop in from the Gulf of Mexico
to the great lakes; and we will see
that that work is done just as hon
estly, just as efficiently, as the Pan
ANA canal work has been done; and
no work could have been done from
beginning to end more honestly or
more efficiently"

JAMES SHARP IS CAPTURED
LEADER OF KANSAS CITY RIOT.
ERS CAUGHT IN KANSAS
Was Hiding In Strawstack Near Olathe
Wounded in Two Places
Fifth Victim Dead.

Kansas City, Dec. 12.-James Sharp,
no longer Adam God"-shorn of his
beard, shorn of his faith, shorn of his
courage and bravado, was caught in a
strawstack eight miles northwest of
Olathe, Kan, at 4:30 o'clock Thursday
afternoon and brought to Kansas City
and locked up. Weak from loss OF
blood, hungry and tagged out with his
long walk he welcomed capture and
surrendered without word.
While Sharp was being brought into
town A. ]. Scissor, one of the victims
Of the riot, was dying, and at 1915
o'clock Friday morning he died. His
death is the fifth resulting from the
shooting at the relgionists' meeting
Tuesday afternoon The other dead
are Albert o. Dalbow and Michael
Mullane, patrolmen; Louis Pratt, ia
natic, and Lulu Pratt, his daughter.
When that bullet struck my hand
knew my faith was wrong and | ran"
Sharp said after he was caught. He
referred to the Tuesday affair.
Sharp was brought into Olathe by
John S. Steed, sheriff of Johnson coun.
ty, and turned over to Capt. Walter
Whitsett and Inspector Charles ].
Ryan of this city, who brought him
to this city Thursday night. The pres.
ence of Sharp in the vicinity of the
place where he was taken was tele-
phoned to Sheriff Steed at eleven
o'clock Thursday morning by w. c.
Brown, farmer living three miles
west of Zara.
With both hands bandaged, a stubby
beard of two days growth on his face,
and his clothes covered with mud,
Sharp sat in the Office of Sheriff
Steed at Olathe from six o'clock un-
til nine o'clock answering the ques
tions put to him by Capt. Whitsett
and Inspector Ryan.
I'm up stump, brother" he told
capt. Whitsett. What | did | did
because of the faith, but the way it
has turned out | guess the faith was
wrong

LESS SPIRITS DISTILLED.
Revenue Receipts Show a Falling or
In Consequence.

Washington, Dec 14.-Commission-
or John G. Capers Of the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau in his annual report
states that for the last fiscal year
there was decrease in the receipts
Of $17,99S,O72 as compared with the
previous year, and that for the first
three months of the current year
there has been a decrease Of $7,262,-
23S as compared with the correspond
Ing months Of the last fiscal year.
The revenues for the full current
year are estimated at $250,000, 1000
which is $1,665, 900 less than for last
year. The production Of distilled
grain spirits was 126,9S9,740 tax gal
Ions, a decrease of more than 45,0OO,.
900 gallons. The prohibition move
ment, the high price of grain and the
agreement among distillers to curtail
production are assigned as the reason.
The total production of denatured
alcohol during the year was 3,321,45
wine gallons which is about 240,0O0
gallons less than for the previous
year and from reports received there
does not appear to have been any
very material increase in the quantity
entering into general or agricultural
use.

CANNON OPPOSES BONDS.
Speaker of House Throws Cold Water
on Proposition.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Speaker Can
non Thursday made known his unal-
terable opposition to the proposition
of financing waterways improvements
by the issuance of government bonds.
This was in an address to the rivers
and harbors congress.
He declared that IF perchance 1t
were possible, the rivers and harbors
committee should report a bill to con-
gress providing that there should be
an issue for the next ten years to
meet the proposed improvement
bonds in the amount of $l,O00000, 900.
would not vote for it,
Speaker Cannon's words cast a
gloom over the congress as the ad.
vocates Of the bond issue had strong
hopes Of favorable consideration of
their proposition Mr.. Cannons atti-
tude is at variance with that held by
Vice President Fairbanks, Andrew
Carnegie and others as expressed be-
fore the congress Wednesday.

The sale Of penny Christmas stamps
for the benefit of the Red Cross fund
Is an enterprise which deserves gen.
eral support. The use of the little dec
orative stamps for holiday packages
is almost universal and If there is good
to be gained by their purchase they
should be used even more profusely.
Although the cost is but penny each,
q goodly fund may be raised in this
way, suggests the Indianapolis Star.
The Red Cross work is of the most
practical kind, its services being en-
listed just now, among other things, in
the work of fighting tuberculosis. Its
funds come from voluntary contribu-
tons and 1t was a happy thought to
give the public chance to contribute
its mite during the season of gift-giv-
Ing.
The Globe-republican., 1908-12-17

Washington, Dec. 13.-Orders for
3O,0OO,O0O Christmas stamps which are
being sold by the National Red Cross
society, Of which President-elect Taft
is president, have been received by
the society and this number has been
printed. AT the headquarters of the
society there is an unwonted amount
of activity and orders for the stamps
are being filled as rapidly as possible.
The officers of the society do not want
to disappoint anybody who wishes to
help make Christmas merry by CON
tributing In this way to the fight which
the society is waging against tubercu-
losis, for which the proceeds will be
used.

Bonding Bank Officials.
DODGE CITY,

4 Before a poor clerk can secure po-
sition in a bank, he is required to give
bonds for the faithful performance of
his duty. Should he become default
or, his bondsmen are responsible for
his sin to the amount named In their
bonds But who ever heard Of bank
director being required to give bonds
for the honest performance Of his
duty? Are bank presidents required to
give security? No! And yet directors
and presidents are just as likely to be
tempted as the poor clerk who has no
wealthy friends, says the New York
Weekly. When bank, through mis-
management, Is forced into suspen.
sion, 1t is not the poor clerk who is
responsible, but the officers, who have
absolute control of the funds, and
often, as was revealed during the finan-
cial panic a year ago, use them for sell
nsn ana unlawful purposes, IN tne
hopes that their private investments
will prove profitable. If their specula-
tions fail, the depositors are the suf
ferers; for these very honest bank Of
ficers are always above suspicion until
series Of unfortunate investments
makes exposure unavoidable, and then
the duped depositors learn, to their bit
ter cost, that there are some bank Of
ficers, as we'll as clerks, who cannot
resist temptation. Therefore, we say,
compel the officials to give bonds, and
thus enforce honesty in the manage
ment Of our monetary institutions.
