The question which has been sgi-
tating the public for 50 long, whether
Ellinwood will have an opera house
or not, has at last been decided.
The Knights Of Columbus have pur-
chased the corner lots north Of
Weber's furniture store from Dick
Bosse and as soon as harvest is over
will commence work for the erection
of a building 50x12O, which, when
completed will be three stories high,
costing $4,000. The work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible so that
the building will be ready for the
opening of the opera season.
The first and second floors will be
given entirely to the management for
theatre space so that We may have
one of the best equipped buildings in
this part of the state. The furnish
ings will be modern. Drop scenery
will be used and everything will be
done to make it attractive and COM
Portable for the patrons.
The third floor will be used for
lodge rooms and a hall for dancing
will be provided.-Ellinwood Leader.

VII Usl TIE lsVln llll illHs


authorizing the Agricultural College
to arrange with county commissioner.
to use from ten to forty acres on each
farm for demonstration purposes,
The experts at the Agricultural Col
lege have long known that some Of
the things actually proved by them at
Manhattan do not work out in the
same way in remote parts Of the State,
Therefore, the College is willing to
put to test on country farms tine
many things they have proved to be
correct at Manhattan. Certain meth.
DDS have been found best there and
certain varieties of corn and wheat
have been found better than others.
Now comes the opportunity for the
farmers of each country to have these
things put to a test.
Immediately after the adjournment
Of the legislature, the Institute and
Extension Department Of the College
started work on several county and
private farms, as fast as the requests
came in. They have variety tests of
corn and a seed field Of pure-bred
corn on the country farms of the fol.
lowing counties: Jefferson, Johnson,
Coffey, Cherokee, Harvey, Ellsworth,
Saline and Jewell and on the private
farm Of Mr.. c. Il. Clark, Of Colony.
They also have several seed fields in
Bourbon county on lands leased by
the county commissioners.
This bill carried with it no State
appropriation, but the law authorizes
the county board to expend consid.
cradle money in carrying n this
work. The College people, however,
are planning to make these demon
STATIONS a source of profit, except the
variety test plot and that need cost
but a few dollars. The best of tools
are required, but no more and no bet
ter than should be found on any good
modern farm.
The work ought to be worth many
thousands of dollars to every county.
Such work ought to be carried out in !
every county in Kansas. The law
authorizes the commissioners to lease
or buy land if the county hoes not
have county farm. The legislature
made a liberal approp'ia ion for the
Institute and Extension Department
and men will be sent out by this de.
partment to supervise the county
work, and their advise and services
are absolutely free to each county.
Other than that each county is ex-
pected to pay its share of the travel
ing expenses ofthese experts, to meet
them at the station and take them to
the { o and return them to the sta
ton. The total expense will be very
small, probably not fifty dollars a
year other than for necessary and
useful tools, and the work ought to
be worth thousands of dollars.
The request for such cooperation
must come officially from the county
commissioners and then the College
will send man to meet the county
board and inspect the farm and ar.
range definite plans for the carrying
.on of the work. In this way these
farms ought to be made of some use
to the farmers Of the State and not
merely an expense. All requests for
such cooperation should be sent to

ment, Kansas State Agricultural Col

SUGAR SCHEDULE
REMAINS INTACT
Senate Refuses to Strike Out From
Bill Dutch Standard Of Color
Finance Committee in Control.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The SEN
ate, by vote OF AZ to 80 today re-
fused 70 strike out from the sugar
schedule the Dutch standard of color.
IL was on this subject that the great
fight OF the Democrats and insurgent
Republicans centered. The result
shows that the finance committee has
majority OF ii votes TO carry
through the entire sugar schedule as
Il stands. The following Republicans
voted for the Bristow amendment TO
strike out the Dutch standard
Beverage, Bristow, Brown. Clapp,
Crawford, Cummins. Dolliver, John
iette and Nelson.
The only Democrats TO vote 10 retain
Louisiana, Foster and McEnery.
A vote was then taken on an amend
ment To strike out the diferential OF
seven and one-half cents hundred
pounds In favor OF the refiners. The
motion TO strike out was lost by vote
of 32 TO SO. The Republicans who yot'
ed with the Democrats for the amend
ment were Beverage, Bristow. Clapp
Crawford. La Toilette and Nelson.
The progressive Republicans and
Democrats voting against the amend
ment were: Brown. Cummins. DOLL
yer, and Johnson. OF North Dakota
Republicans, and Foster and McEn-
cry. Democrats.
Bailey then offered his income tax
proposition as an amendment TO the
sugar schedule.
A new point of view on the sugar
question was presented by Cummins
In the senate today. He declared that
either cane or beet sugar would con-
troll the American market. but that
both the refners OF cane sugar ana
the beet sugar manufacturers could
not survive. II was an utter impossi-
bility to protect both interests In the
same law. He spoke OF the great
amount or sugar that will come from
the Philippines and added
Il believe Il will not be long before
Cuban sugar comes In free. IL the
cane sugar OF the world is admitted TO
this country, where will the American
beet sugar manufacturer get his mar
ket? You must make a schedule that
will either put the business in the
hands of the cane sugar refners, or
the beet sugar manufacturers"
He said the Aldrich bill would tend
to place the business In the hands OF
the refiners. Cummins asserted that
he favored the development OF the
beet sugar interests, but he might on
account Of the white mans burden"
vote for free sugar from the Philip
pines. He declared that man could
not now establish a beet sugar factory
In this country. without first getting
permission from the sugar trust.
Cummins, after denouncing the
sugar trust as commercial tyrant
which had the beet sugar industry at
Ats mercy, declared every pound OF
sugar turned into. the market by the
cane sugar producer displaced so
much beet sugar. He would SO adjust
the schedule that the cane sugar re-
finer would have a more difficult time
He denounced the Dutch standard OF
color as "old. useless. unnecessary. IN
scientific and unjust"

HARD PROBLEM
FOR OVERSEER
Warned Men Out to Do Road
Work and They Appeared
200 Strong.

Because he was unable to supply
them with tools with which to per-
form the necessary work In payment
OF their road tax, the employees of the
Flewellyn Lumber company threat
ened to throw Road Overseer Larson,
Of st. Joe, into the ripping waters OF
the St. Joe river, and Deputy Sheriff
Sawyer left for the scene yesterday
to preserve order and see to it that
the threats of the men were not car
ried out.
Overseer Larson is ambitious to see
to it that the roads in his district are
put in good condition, and to that
end ordered the men Of the company
to perform the share OF work re-
CURED of them by law or pay their
tax in lieu of it. The men, and there
we're about two hundred of them,
chose the former, and all of a sudden
swooped, down upon him and de-
handed that he put them to work.
The road overseer did not have tools
sufficient to supply them, nor work
for them all at the same time, and so
advised them. Owing to the fact
that they had been called out, they
we're not in a pleasant mood to begin
with, and the failure to find work
when arriving upon the scene in
censed them. and they told the road
overseer that unless he furnished
them with work they would throw
him into the river and also, 1t is said.
made other threats against him. He
communicated with the sheriff's
office and Deputy Sawyer was dis
patched to the scene to restore order.
An effort was made to communicate
with him today, but it was learned
that he had restored peace and was
on his way home.

STATE FILES ON
VALUABLE TIMBER
Makes Selections Of 10000
Acres in St. Joe
Country.

State Field Agent Ben Bush today
filed in the land office selections for
the state OF 10000 acres OF timber
land. The land is some OF the most
valuable remaining in the northwest,
being composed OF white pine and
spruce. claims having been sold In
that section for as high as $4,000.
The lands are located 10 townships
43 and a.. range 4 east. The for
mer township was Withdrawn for re-
serve purposes about three years ago.
but two years ago was thrown out Of
the reserve and opened 20 settlement.
The latter was also taken in the re-
serve and never thrown out. but the
plats we're filed and settlers who had
made settlement upon the land ut a
time prior TO the Withdrawal OF the
township for forest reserve purposes
were permitted to file.
The state applied for the survey OF
the two townships In the year 1901.
and had a preference right over all
settlers who had not settled upon the
land prior to that time. By reason
of the fact that the latter township
is In q forest reserve an interesting
question has arisen as to whether
when Il was surveyed nj the appllea-
ton OF the state II can select the land
contained in it. as It is still in the re-
serve and IL thrown open for but one
purpose---thai of allowing settlers
who settled before the reserve TO file.
The question win probably 90 into
the courts for final Adjudication.
The state now has cruisers locating
the lands In Eve townships In the
Lewiston land district. Ii Il estl-
mated that there wiz be fully $4,000
acres selected By the state from these
townships.
