S0ULE COLLEGE At DODGE CITY
QUESTION BEFORE CONFERENCE
METHODIST CHURCH WILL FURNISH FINANCIAL BACKING
FOR BIG SCHOOL HERE
COLLEGE BUILDINGS ARE A GIFT OF WILSON S0ULE
Two Hundred Acres Of Adjacent Lands Acquired and Now
Owned by the College Making it Valuable
Property at the Present Time

this part of the country at that time was
not good for the movement, and the COL
lege did not flourish as q scheol. although b
1t has been kept open and pupils have
been there each year.
The property at the beginning consisted
OF the buildings and forty acres of land.
With assistance gained by DR.. Vaughn and
and the board, land adjoining the college
was bought while 1t was still very cheap,
and at the present time there is two hun
dred acres Of land and herd of cattle
owned by the college, which shows that
the association and DR.. Vaughn have
succeeded in at least adding to the
property
Times have been improving all of
these years and the country has been
gaining in population. The country in
this territory at present is sending pupils
to different colleges all over the country.
There is 6eli here now for good
strong school and all that is needed to
establish 1t Is the financial backing.
The present movement by the con-
ference is to take the responsibility of
seeing that the school has ample funds
provided and Of making 1t success as an
educational institution.
Whether any complications will arise
between the local association and the
conference, the writer does not know.
There Is, Of course, a chance for con-
fiict OF authority between the local as
ISOLATION and the conference should their
views regarding the management Of the
school not ag:ee A question Of that
kind would no doubt be settled one way
or the other by the general conference,
which 1t Is understood has the power to
do this.
The matter Of establishing q big school
here has been brought up 10 the con-
ference at various times in the past but
1t is understood 1t Is to be acted on with |
out fail at the present sc ssion. -

Y Z understood that at the presen
~ ting of the Methodist conference, fo
tiis district now In session at Winfield
that definite plans will be started To-
financing and improving Soule College a
Dodge City and maintaining a first clss'
college under the direct management O
, the Methodist church, and that the in.
Z ftentions are to make 1t one of the strong
schools OF Kansas. Money for backing
the school will be provided for, 1t is said
and as soon as ths National conference
has passed upon the project active prep.
arations will be begun for enlarging the
school.
There will be considerable repairing to
the buildings necessary but when put In
repair 1t will give fne accommodations
for large school, and the permanen,
establishment Of this college Is sure to
make Dodge City the educational center
Of Western Kansas.
There is perhaps good deal Of history
connected with the Soule College which
is not known to the writer. The build.
ing Of the college, dormitory and other
buildings put up in connection was part
of . big scheme to extend the city limits
OF Dodge City few miles to the north
west. Boom times were at their heighth
and no undertaking was too great. Mr..
Soule was building the big ditch which
gees still by his name, and English
money was being showered promiscuously
10 this vicinity. The college buildings
were put up and offered to the Presby-
terian church which was to launch and
support the school.
On account Of conditions Just OF
time the Presbyterian church failed to
take advantage Of the offer, and the
buildings stood for years on the prairie as
one OF the evidences Of the boom time.
Later DR.. Vaughn was sent to Dodge
City 10 charge Of the church at this place.
He became interested In the college pro-
ject, and induced Wilson Soule, who was
then In charge Of the property, to deed
the property, to an association to be
formed here, 10 trust for the Methodist
church at large. The association, which
was to be board Of trustees, was formed
Of about five members, and the deed was
made and recorded. DR.. Vaughn then
began the work of trying to establish ]
college, appealing to Methodists In dif-
ferent parts Of the country, in any con-
ference, for assistance. The condition Of

Building for Dodge City Lost Out
On First Round.

appropriation bill this week. The
Washington dispatches state that the
item referring to this building was
knocked out 10 The House, but that 1t may
be put back in by The Senate. II this
fails there is to be still another attempt
made, in another way. Congressman

SMITHrIELD, Pa, Dec. as.
Editor Argus;
was born and raised In Preston
county. 1t has been fourteen years
since | left the Mountain State and
came to the Keystone State, so THE
ARGUS has become a home visitor
to me, or, IN other words, it is like
getting a letter from home.
Although never agreed with THE
ARGUS in politics, have lived long
enough to know that the collar OF
the dog has nothing to do with the
bark. A juror must hear the evil
dence on both sides before he can
render true verdict. So / think i,
is essential for Republicans to read
Democratic papers and for Demo
Gratis to read Republican papers.

Docs human health depend on one
organ alone? This question Is becom-
ing widely discussed since l.. r..
Cooper first advanced HIS theory that
the stomach Is the true seat Of life
and all health dependent upon IL.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with TO.
maTkable success In the sale OF his
new medicine, believes that the stom-
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ Is weak Ia the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: ~ am
asked timo and again to tell why my
medicine has made such q record
wherever I have introduced II. Ny
answer always Is, because II restores
tho stomach TO a normal condition.
No one will deny that today there are
moro half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems TO
be the matter with them. They are
Just half-sick most Of tho time. They
don't know really what Is the matter

these diseases at different times. A
