Some "Newsvv Facts.

How many publications are print
ed in Kansas" was asked of a man
to whose desk come a big percentage
of the Kansas newspapers. How
many are Republican and how many
Democrat? What county has the
largest number? How many are
dailies and how many weeklies?'' 1t
took just a half day of good stiff dig
ging to give reply to these queries.
There are 82S publications in Kansas
of all kinds, news, temperance, agri-
cultural, Industrial, fraternal, educa-
tional, college, religious, local" and
scientific. Of this number 40 may
be strictly termed newspapers, and
politically they line up after this fash.
ion: Republican, 224; Democratic, 1902;
Independent and neutral, IA; Popu-
list, 16; Socialist, 2; Prohibitionist, L;
Peoples party, 1. The frequency of
publication of the whole S28 publica-
lions is divided as follows: Dailies,

monthlies, IA; bi-weekHes, 2; semi
monthlies, A bi-monthlies, 1; quar-

Kansas Personal Property.

The total value of all personal prop
erty in the state as equalized by the
State Tax commission is nearly half
a billion dollars. To be accurate the
figures are $474,191,255 This includes
all personal property found by the
county assessors and reported to the
tax commission with the exception of
horses, mules and cattle These are
listed separately. The total value of
all horses is SIS ,242,275, the total
value of all mules is 15,624,123, and
the total value of all cattle in the
state is $50, 9O2 $50. So with these
figures added to the total given above,
the grand total of the values of per-
sona1 property in Kansas is S621 $780,
643- The average value of all horses
is S72-63, although the commission has
divided them by years and placed sep
arate values upon them. The total
number is 1,035 ,S7S. The average
value placed upon cattle is $2O.41 a
head and there are 2.787.734 head.
The average value of a mule is placed
at S92.16. A mule lacks only a few
cents of being as valuable as a horse
and cow in Kansas. There are 1884,
526 mules in this state One inter
esting thing in connection with the
personal property statement is the
showing that there are 2,156 automo-

simplicity can be understood when /
state that in the cab the mechanism
consisted merely of a throttle bar, re-
versing gear and brake Only one man
was required to run the machine, thus
saving the expense of a fireman
AS the name implies, the Iocomo-
tive is fireless. There is no frebox.
In general appearance the machine re-
sembles the ordinary type of locomo-
tive minus the firebox, funnel and
sundry other attachments.
1T must be understood that this
type of locomotive is unsuitable for
uninterrupted railway service, but is
essentially yard shunting machine;
In other words, it must keep near it's
base of supply, and this base of supply
is the boiler of some local power sta
ton. At this local power station the
tank of the locomotive is filled with
steam, and on this steam supply the
engine will run from four to five hours
doing ordinary switching work.
When / entered the cab of one of
these switching engines the steam
gauge showed a reading of As pounds
| was informed that two hours had
elapsed since the boiler was charged
and that steam was taken on at 40
pounds pressure. The chief engineer
of the works stated that the boiler
could limp back to its station even
with steam pressure as low as one

Vanilla MOSTLY Prune Juice

One of the favorite lodges of the
manufacturers of vanilla extract in
putting a cheap article on the market
is to use the juice of dried prunes,
according to bulletin of the Kansas
board of health. Samples of vanilla
extracts have been taken and sent to
the state chemist for analysis. Some
of the bottles said that the extract
was highly concentrated and of stand
ard strength when it did not contain
a single drop of vanilla. These ex-
tracts are usually made of vanilla and
prune juice.
