to the hotels and boarding houses,
where they have secured quarters
The public bodies of Frankfort are ar
ranging to facilitate the feeding of the
great crowd of visitors.
The well set up American gymnasts
made a very good impression as they
practiced their exercises in groups and
astonished the other visitors with
their ability in the ball and other
games in which they engaged to keep
in condition.
Many of the people who came over
with the gymnasts from America are
paying visits to relatives in the vicin-
ity of Frankfort and renewing friendly
ties which for long time have been
dormant

Of Joseph Michelotte, a Santa Fe shop
man in this city. Rev. Father F. M.
Hayden of the Catholic church and
Joseph @. Waters. the Topeka lawyer,
called at the office of Governor Hoch
this morning and secured letter from
the governor to the United States de-
partment of state.
Michelotte is a French immigrant,
who has been working at the shops In
this city for several years. He has
accumulated enough property so that
he feels he can afford to bring his
family over here to live with him. So
he sent to Marseilles. France, and told
his wife and three children to start
for Topeka.
When the family attempted to pur-
chase ticket for the steamship journey,
the company refused to sell ticket to
one Of the children. a boy 10 years old,
because this boy had some sort of a
growth under one Of his eyes. 1t was
not contended that the growth was
pany was afraid that the United States
immigrant officials would refuse to
admit the boy, and they would have
to take him back to France.
1t Is for the purpose of bringing in
fiuence to bear upon the United States
department Of state to insure the boys
admission that Governor Hoch has
been asked to intervene. Michelotte's
family will not start for America until
all Of its members can come. The boy
will not be left behind.

PLEA FOR HANSFORD
Ask Judge to Send Young Farmer to
Reformatory.

Eli Hansford, the young farmer who
was found guilty during the April term
Of district court of a technical assault
on Minnie Worrel, a girl under 16 years
of age, appeared. with his attorney. in
district court today for sentence. The
prosecution in this case was conducted
by Joseph Waters, who was retained
by the Crittenton Home society to as
sist the county attorney.
The only question arising today was
when Hansford's attorney asked that
the young man be sentenced to the
reformatory instead Of the peniten-
tiary. Joseph Waters insisted on the
penitentiary. and read an authority.
The court took the question under ad-
visement.
Hansford is now q years old, but the
alleged crime was committed in Octo-
Der, 1905. The law says that persons
between the ages Of 16 and Is may be
sent, upon conviction, to the state re-
formatory, within the discretion of the
court. The prosecution contends that
Hansford should not be permitted to
get off with the reformatory sentence
because he was over % at the time OF
his conviction.

Mr.. Editor, this is the Sabbath day
and feel as if | wanted to write a
short letter, and to begin with | will
say something regarding the tick law
which has caused so much uneasiness
among our mountain people, do not
aim to personate the authorities, but
wish to be considered. While l could
pasture what cattle | have there are
lots of my neighbors that have mich
COWS that could not do this because
they have no lands. Now, what will
be the result if they are forced to keep
up their cows? Their little ones will be
brought to suffer as this is their main
dependence for living. Some would
say, Oh, they can keep them up one OIL
two summers. AS rule when spring
comes they owe for what their cows
ate the previous winter. So far as
disease is concerned, we are anxious
to assist and keep out such by greas-
ing and keeping off all ticks and so
on. We have had no sick cattle with
us for two or three years. Since the
women adopted rule to empty their
wash tubs and turn them with the bot
tom up, we have had no sick cows.
"Gold dust and "Rub-no-M More" and
other Ingredients for washing are pois
on, so you see the cattle go to the wash
place for water and will drink those
poisonous suds and lick the dregs, and
thus get sick and die, and all will
agree that murrain is among our cat
tie. Concentrated I've is used at the
wash place and all know that it will
kill cattle. do not say that there is
no disease among cattle, but doubt it

other, but feel willing to do all can
to mas ter and keep down all troubles
| that might arise among our cattle. |

we're five or six hundred cattle that

which will deprive the poor from own

that all laws enacted of late are cut

Will you that are in authority take
