did all of the work themselves till
the harvest time, when they neces-
threshers. Their wheat crop yielded
5000 bushels which they sold at 90
cents a bushels The return from this
crop more than paid for the land.
About the same time G. w. Roberts
bought a part of the Ripple ranch.

OSKALOOSA'S PLEA.
Wants Railway Line to Topeka to Give
Them a Morning Train.

Oskaloosa, Kan, Dec. 22.-The de-
cision of Judge Hazen as referee that
the Topeka & Leavenworth railway is
an Independent railway, removes the
hope patrons had of lower freight
rates and better service on this line.
The railway company would have a
better business and more receipts if
the train were operated into Topeka
in the morning and out of there in the
evening instead of as at present, giving
Leavenworth the advantage in train
service. Business men argue that if
it is an independent line it is violating
the state charter law requiring rail-
ways to maintain headquarters and
general offices within the state.

III. NJ. Williams. Missing From Sumner
County, Is Wanted

Wellington, Kan, Dec. 22.-H. NJ.
Williams of Ashton, a small town in
the southeast part of this county, has
gone to Oklahoma City, where he goes
to commence a search for a young
man whom he is trying to locate so
that certain probate court matters
may be attended to.
The party sought is Isaac Kivett,
son of Peter P. Kivett. The young
man was last heard of at Salisaw,
Okla, in 1898. and he left there in
that year for Texas. 1t is thought
that he may have come back to Okla
homa from there, or he may even be
somewhere in Kansas. Lately young
Kivett has fallen heir to an estate
valued at $4,000 to $4,000. and be-
cause of this heirship Mr.. Williams is
trying to find him or get in touch with
someone that has known him since
1898.

TALKING FOR TAFT
 AGAINST INSTRUCTION
That Is What Tombstone Re DublicanS Are Doing, Ac- -eording To Report

~Yes, sir, the republicans of Tomb stone are beginning to sit up and take notice of the political battle for which the republicans of the territory are dining up," said Hon. Ben Good rich, who arrived in Bisbee yesterday evening on law business.
 The republicans over my way seem to be favorable to Taft as the presi. dentiai candidate, but they are not in favor of instructing a delegation for him. continued MT. Goodrich "and in opposing instructions. under present conditions I think they are taking a wise course and the best possible one for the territory"
 Mir. Goodrich, like great many others in Arizona who are afraid of the present statehood condition. does not feel that this territory has sd!fi- cient guarantee of safety from Bev- eridge. Cannon and the other joint statehood boomers as to warrant an tagonizing those who are ia a posi- tion 70 harm Arizona shouid another joint-statehoood fight be wGsed against us. He thinks that an in- structed delegation for Taft or any one else, unless it should be Foraker might result in cooling the present warm friendship of the Ohio senator for the territory.
