HUGoToN VOTES BONDS.
Stevens County Will Have North and
South Road. 1t Hopes.

Hugoton, Kan. March 19.-Stevens
county will get the Kansas and Texas
railroad A special election was held
here Tuesday to vote bonds in aid of
said road and resulted very decisively
in favor of the proposition. The road
is a north and south proposition and
will run from Garden City. Kan, where
it will intersect the Atchison. Topeka &
Santa Fee and connect with the Kansas
and Nebraska, via Hugoton. Guyrnon,
Okla, and Amarillo, Texas, to the
Gulf, and will open up a very large
area Of fine country which is destined
to become the agricultural center Of the
southwest, which has hitherto remained
undeveloped because Of the lack Of rail-
road facilities.
Land along the proposed route and
especially in Stevens county is very
fertile and the advent Of the new road
will bring many good farmers from the
central and eastern states to take ad-
vantage Of this opportunity to secure
good farms at a nominal sum. Many
settlers are already coming in and buy
ing land which may be secured now at
from eight to ten dollars per acre.

is THE WATER SOFT OR HARD2
This Question Has an Important Bear
ing on Big Damage Suit.


Erie, Kan, March 19.-Because Of a
dispute as to whether the water in a
we'll Is "hard" or soft" Judge Finley
did not pass upon the motion for a
new trial in the Campbell-Brown case,
which was to have come before him
Tuesday. Instead. he directed Sherin
Ogg to get a jug Of water from the
well in question and bring it into court
that experts may examine it and de-
eide whether it Is "soft" or not.
The case. it will be remembered. is
one in which Mrs. Lilly Campbell OF
Leanna sued Chase Brown of Chanute
for damages because Of the death Of
her husband. The jury gave her =
judgment for $4,000. The attorneys
for the defense thereupon filed motion
for a new trial.
The motion was to have come be-
fore Judge Finley this morning. Be-
fore 1t was taken up. however. the at
torneys for the defense made applica-
ton for an order from the court d.
recting Sheriff Ogg to go to the well
water and bring it into court, that its
contents might be examined.
The point involved Is the testimony
of some of the witnesses. Certain
evidence was to the effct that the we'll
contains hard water, and other evil
dence was that the water fs soft.
Water taken from the well was mixed
with wood alcohol by Mr.. Campbell
and the hardness or softness of the
Of the claim that hard water would
have caused the alcohol to become
milky appearing. while soft water
would not have changed its looks.

The Sentinel says:
There was a general round up in

The officer of the day with a force of
places for "booze" and at the close of
the search a considerable quantity of
whisky was gathered in and about
fifteen men were placed in arrest
A continuation OF the round UP &C.
CURED in town last night when the
officers Of the day with force Of the
guard put in their appearance at
about II o'clock and began rounding
up all men who were without pass es.
When this job was completed about
fifty men had been corralled. They
were compelled to march to the post
where they were placed in arrest in
quarters for being absent without
leave.
Another round UP occurred and
about twenty men were discovered
without passes. A special car was Sc
cured and these men were taken to the
post and also placed In arrest for be-
ing absent without leave.
The presence of so much LIQUOR in
the garrison of late had come to the
ears of the commanding officer, Colo
mel Ward of the Seventh cavalry, and
he has decided to stamp out the prac-
tice of having 1t brought into the
limits of the garrison. AS a result of
the round up, the summary courts will
undoubtedly be busy for a while.
The condition of affairs brings
forcfbly to mind what the absence
of the canteen has brought about.
When that institution was in existence
anything of this nature was never
| heard of. The soldier got his beer at
the canteen which was always closed
| at 1890.

Address to X. 8. A. @. Students.

AuOTtSS 10 N. .. n. -. SCuucIltS.
Manhattan, March 19.-W. R.
Stubs, made an address before 1900
students at the State Agricultural
college Wednesday, following the
chapel exercises. He was introduced
by President E. r. Nichols and spoke
for about twenty minutes. He said
he was pleased to address this great
body of young men and women who
come from all parts of Kansas
state which a few years ago was
but vast expanse Of prairie, but the
best blood and the best brain of the
New England states came out to
Kansas and made her great-soon
outstripping her neighbor states. To
these men and women, the students
owe their life and being. The great
opportunities now furnished came
through the trials and troubles of
your fathers and mothers" He said
% years as presidents Of banks, pres
idents of railroads and men of pro-
minence were not men who started in
life with q silver spoon in their
mouth. They were men who were
willing to work ''It Is a handicap"
Mr.. Stubs said, land unfortunate for
a young man to have wealth and ev-
erythfng he needs, but I would en-
courage the boys and girls who had
to make a struggle to get through
college. They must work. There is
no way to success without work and
without sacrifice. Men who succeed
are not the millionaires."

running down the cheeks of the owner
Of the Pittsburg team as he read as fol-
lows from Wagner:
II will not be with your team this
season, but wish you a pennant winner,
and will always be plugging for the
boys to win. It is certainly hard for me
to lay aside the uniform which 1 have
been wearing since 1897, but every dog
has his day, and the sport has become
too strenuous for me-"
Wagner then goes on to thank the
Pittsburg team and fans for their loyal
support, and says that he Is glad he
stuck by the team in times of war,
though he says he was offered twice
the salary to join the American league.

Battle in Frisco

New York, March 19.-Rudolph I'm
holz the fighting Boer, and Joe Cans

pionship of the world in the near future.
The fighters met here and after a short

would give UnhoIz the first chance at
the title. should a purse be offered for
the bout.
After being introduced to Cans IN
ho1z came straight to business and told
the champion that he wanted to fight
him. Cans said that he was ready to
fight, but that he wanted to fight for
money, not for fun. Then Unholz used
his trump card, a promise of Jim Cof-
froth, the Frisco fight promoter, to put
on the bout, and the match was as good
as made.

Frisco south-end men keep pretty
well posted on the conditions down
about the mines. Chas. Danner, of this
city, who is president of the State So

but that there would be a big strike

George Kelsey, the little backstop

outright to Coffeyville before he had
given him a fair try out, has been pur-
chased by the Oklahoma City team and
will do the brunt of the back stop work

fans that Kelsey is a good catcher.
Jack Root, the soldier boy pitcher of
the Joplin team, will not appear in the
Western association the coming season.
He was recently sold to the Altoona
team in the Tri-State league for three
hundred dollars. For time it looked
as though the deal would fall through
however because President Baker Of the
Joplin team refused to take a note in
payment. He held out for cash and
now the Altoona management has come
through with the dough.
