A man, who has just completed term OF 10 years
in prison in Maine has been offered 100000 for sew
ing machine device which he perfected while in prison.
That is little over$2 600 year but it is doubtful il
many men would voluntarily go through the same exper
ience even if assured of that salary.

New Rural Route.

Postoffce Inspector Klngsmore was
here for three days last week rear
ranging the rural service from the
Lexington postoffice.
Route No. l has been covering more
territory than the carrier could con-
veniently reach. Therefore, this
route was changed 80 as to put the
mail nearer to those patrons who now
have to 90 mile or more and new
route established to serve the balance
of people that now get their mail on
route No. /.
This change will supply longfelt
need in that section, and it is all due
to the tireless efforts of Congressman
A. F. Lever. This same request has
been turned down two or three times
by the Postomce Department, but Mr..
Lever kept hammering away until he
finally got the change.

Letter to Dr.. ]. W. sande1.
T,exinptOn. 8. G.

Der Sir: This happened seven years
ago. A man, having three little poul-
try houses, bought one gallon of each
of two paints to paint them; paid 81 go
for one and $1.75 for the. other, Is
cents difference.
The SLIGO gallon painted one house,
the $1.75 gallon painted the other two
houses. The cost of the paint was:
first house $1.60; second house S7Rc.;
third house S71ac.
But painting goes with paint, and
it costs as much to paint one paint as
it does another, about $3.50 q gallon.
The painting of one of those houses
with $1.60 paint cost the same as that
of the other two with $1.75 paint;
$3.50. Difference $1.75 house same
way as the rs cents.
Four years ago, he painted that first
little house again, same paint-he
wanted to know what the cost of
keeping house well-painted really
is. The other two houses didn't need
painting. .
Last year he painted all three little
houses, same paints as at first; and
reckoned his cost to date of beginning
the JOB. The first little house had
cost $5.1O twice, 5000, and was ready
to paint again; the second two houses
had cost $500, and were ready to
paint again.
That is: saving Is cents a gallon
made one house cost twice as much
as the other two houses, besides the
fuss of an extra paint job in three
years.
The s1.75 paint was Devoe. .
This tale is made up of a thousand
experiences. Devoe is Away the
paint that takes less gallons, costs
less money, wears longer, less fuss.
And the cost of Devoe is about one
fourth of the cost of paint that
doubles the gallons.
Yours truly,
So F. w. Devoe & Co.
P.s: The Kaufman Drug Co. sell
our paint.

PROHIBITION IS 0. K.
Wherever 1t Can Be Enforced Cover
nor Sanders Tells LEGISLATURE.

Baton Rouge, La, May 1S.-Race
| track gambling to be suppressed abso-
lutely and local option, combined with
high license, to regulate the liquor traf-
| fic, were two of the most salient recon-
mendations of Governor Sanders in
augural message to the legislature.
OF race track gambling the message
said:
The manner and mode of conduct
ing race tracks in and around New Or
leans. and the Migrant gambling car
ried on at the tracks, has deservedly
aroused the moral sense of the people
against it. I will earnestly urge upon
the general assembly the enactment OF
legislation prohibiting and penalizing
gambling on horse racing. All forms
of gambling are bad and have no place
in the economical development of the
state"
After noting local option as the con-
stitutional policy of the state, the mes
sage says:
Prohibition has worked well in those
sections Of the state where popular SEN
timent is behind the law and some OF
the most prosperous towns and parish
es are those where prohibition has pre-
vailed for a period long enough to af-
ford fair tests of its merits. On the
other hand obstacles in the way of en-
forcing such a law in portions of the
state, where it is not demanded by
public sentiment are so great as to rem
der the task practically impossible. In
such cases it has been demonstrated
that the best results are obtainable by
the effective regulation of the traffic
"A higher license for the state and
minimum license of $500 for parishes
and municipalities would appear to be
not an unjust demand
Condemnation was expressed of the
practices of combining saloon and gro
| Gerry and of issuing liquor licenses tc
women. The suppression was recon-
mended of selling liquor in the same
| building to negroes and whites.

which will be held in Parsons on the

Arrangements are being made to send

occasion.
Parsons has made arrangements to
entertain the visitors at the time of
the meeting in loyal style and have
already spent considerable money IN
preparing for the event. Upon the
success of this meeting which promises
to be the biggest thing of its kind ever

WHAT A SHAME!
Many Fine Trees in Fair Grounds
Grove Ruined by Mules.

The county commissioners today in
structed the sheriff to evict and drive
forth from the state fair grounds all
the mules belonging to a construction
company that have been Quartered
there for the past month. The sheriff
this afternoon carried out these in
structions to the letter. But the dam
age has been done. These fifty mules
have been quartered on the fair grounds
since early in April and they have
peeled the bark off large number of
the fine old shade trees that have been
the glory of the fair grounds, and many
of these trees have been ruined. The
tax payers and lovers of the beautiful
in nature living in that neighborhood
are up in arms about the destruction
of the fine old trees south of the race
track that will require twenty years to
replace. The mules have skinned the
bark off the most of them from the
ground as high up as they can reach
and the stately old monarchs of the
grove are frreparably ruined, declare
many who have inspected them. At
meeting one night last week Of the
Farmers union held at Sunnyside
school house, the matter was taken up
and a committee appointed to walt
upon the board of county commission
ers whom they believe are primarily
responsible for the care OF the fair
grounds, which are the property Of the
was used at this meeting condemning
the parties who allowed these mules to
be quartered in such a palace and con-
tfnue their damage uninterrupted Tor
over a month.
While these grounds are under lease
to the Kansas Exposition company for
a term of years, yet the lease was
plainly violated and became at once
void when the grounds we're allowed to
be used for any other purposes than q
fair grounds. The terms of the lease
also provide that the county commits
sioners shall at once assume charge OF
the grounds in case Of destruction OF
property aside from accident or wear
and tear of time and the elements. Ie
is understood that the Commerciai
club and the Exposition company all
lowed the state fair grounds to be used
for a mule lot, but by that very act the
grounds reverted back to the care OK
the county commissioners, and the tax
PAYERS claimed at their meeting that
the board was to blame for not having
the mules evfcted at once from the
grounds before all this damage was
done to the trees.
Members of the board visited the fafr
grounds last week after complaint nao
been made to them, and today they
took action in the matter as above mar
rated. But who is responsible for the
trees, and how can these tnvaluaple'
trees be replaced?

the night before and robbed him OF
goods and merchandise. Detective
Hutton was detailed on the case and
went at once to the store to investi-
gate. Hutton was soon convinced that
Manson had been his own robber.
There was no evidence at all to show
that the store had been entered from
the outside. Chief Eaton Joined the
detective on the case, and they took
Manson to the station and sweated
him. 1t only required a few moments
for him to give in and admit that he
had robbed himself. He was very
excited over the matter and begged the
officers not to lock him up. He de.
clared that they could not do this, as
his goods were not insured nor were
any pawned articles taken. Manson
told the officers that they could not
arrest him for robbing himself This
logic seemed irrefutable, and the fellow
was turned loose. 1t is a very queer
case and the reasons for Manson's
shady work is hard to find. This is the
second time he has done this thing.
After admitting his guilt this morning
Manson fell down on the floor in a
MT, and Hutton had to pour cold water
on him to bring him around When he
came to he refused to say anything
more about the matter. The chief be.
lieves that Manson was looking for
some free advertising, but as the case
turned out this advertising is not APT
to be very valuable. The chief and
Detective Hutton did good work on
| this case.

EMBRY IS LET OUT.
Another Chapter in Retrenchment
Policy of Rock Island

That the Rock Island has adopted a
stringent retrenchment policy is the
general opinion in railway circles. Ad-
vices to this effect emanate from To-
peka, Kansas City, Chicago and all
other Rock Island centers.
The biggest change which will be
wrought by the policy Of retrenchment
which the road has adopted will be the
retirement of H. H. Embry, who has
for the past II years held the position
Island roads at Kansas City. The du-
ties of this office will be performed
by G. B. Albright, now assistant gen.
eral freight agent at Kansas City.
The retirement of Mr. Enbry will
occasion considerable surprise among
people as Mr.. Embry was we'll and ia
vorably known. He has been with the
Rock Island for more than 25 years
and has been faithful and useful Of
fetal.
1t is thought by those who know
Mr.. Embry that he will engage in some
private bushes as it is known he has
received several flattering offers.
1t is also said that several of Mr..
Embry's present staff will lose their
positions and that their places will re-
main untitled.
To what extent the retrenchment of
the Rock Island will be carried is not
known but it seems likely to affect
nearly every department. The Horton
shops which are the largest railway
shops of this system in Kansas have
been indefinitely closed. Reports from
Horton state that families are moving
away from the town on account of the
poor outlook.
Several minor positions in Topeka
have been abolished. The night depot
master is no more and helper has
been laid off at the pumphouse Even
the janitor force at the passenger de-
pot has been reduced. And it is ru-
mored that other reductions will soon
follow and that no expenses which can
be avoided will be incurred by this
road.
