oNAGA PRIZE MOTOR CAR TOWN
With But 700 Population 1t Boasts of
"a Automobiles

Onaga. Kan, Sept. 28.-Up here in
Pottawatomie county, among the
hills, is the little town of Onaga. 1t
has only about seven hundred popuIa-
ton, but it is making a hard fight to
get the county seat away from West
morland. 1t is not the sort of a
county seat fight that took place
twenty years ago, when rifles and re-
volvers were practically the only
arguments used. but it is one of quiet
work, wherein railroad accommoda-
lions cut the greatest figure in in
ducing farmers to sign the petition
for an election call. Westmoreland
has no railroad except the one run
ming from it to Blaine, nine miles long
and operated by the state.
Although Onaga has few outward
evidences of prosperity, its people say
that it has an index showing that it
is probably the most f1our1shing town
of its size in the state. This index
is the number of motor cars owned
by it's citizens There are thirty
four motor cars in the town or one
car to about every twenty-One in
habitants. In other words if there
were motor car parade with five
passengers to car. only five hun
dred persons would be left on the
streets to see them go by.
"I would like to hear" said j. Q.
Benton, a stockman. eff there is an
other town in the state that has as
many motor cars to the number of in
habitants as Onaga."

KNOW NOW
And Will Never Forget the Exper-
fence.

The coffee drinker who has suffer-
ed and then been completely relieved
by changing from coffee to Postum
knows something valuable.
He or she has no doubt about it. A
California lady says:
Il learned the truth about coffee in
a peculiar way. My husband who has
for years been of a very bilious tenn
permanent decided to leave off coffee
and give Postum a trial and as 1 did
not want the trouble of making two
beverages for meals / concluded to
try Postum, too, and the results have
been that while my husband has been
greatly benefited, I have myself re-
ceived even greater benefit.
when / began to drink Postum I
was thin in flesh and very nervous.
Now I actually weigh Is pounds
more than I did at that time and 1
am stronger physically and in my
nerves, while husband is free from
all his ails.
I'VE have learned our little lesson
about coffee and we know something
about Postum, too, for we have used
Postum now steadily for the last
three years and we shall always con-
tinue to do so.
I'VE have no more use for coffee
the drug drink. We prefer Postum
and health.
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, THE Road to Wellville' .

one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human

place to bulbs of red, white and blue.
The walk through the cross cut to
the ore vein was about quarter of
a mile. Through the darker places
the president helped to light the way
with his electric lantern, while the
other members of the party carried
candles.
Taken Into Drift.
Past the powerful pumps, where hi
shook hands with the men in charge,
the president was taken at last into a
drift where a drill was at work.
The whole method of copper mining
was explained to the president.
The upward journey in the cages was
accomplished in just half the time oc-
cupied in the descent and at speed
which made the inexperienced gasp.
During his journey, through the mine
the president was within seventy-five
feet of a fire which has been burning
for years and which has defied al. eff
forts to extinguish it.
Given Golf Stick.
At Butte the president was presented
with a full sized golf cuba driver
made of "copper" silver and gold, the
three metals that have made the Butte
camp famous. On the head of the driv-
er the following inscription was en-
graved
''William Howard Taft, champion
1909-1915-and then some. Butte, Mont,
September 81. 1907
In the course of his speech at Butte,
the president said:
4 am deeply pleased at the reception
because Of its nonpartisan character
and especially glad that 1 am looking
into the faces of Democrats as wei, as
Republicans and that we are all mere
without thought of party and only to
give expression to the feeling of COM
mon interest in our common country
and love for our dear old flag.
TO come out to this awful looking
desert from the green fields of the east
and see a city spring up like magic out
of what is seemingly nothing, is
revelation in the possibilities of Ameri-
can manhood and American energy. I
am going to visit your city under
ground. L am going to assume that you
have a rope that it is strong enough to
let down three hundred pounds. I am
going to see that wonderful system of
galleries from which you have taken
the wealth that has been a marvel to
the world. 1t gives any man who loves
his country an inspiration to see the
faces before me as came up this street
and as 1 look out on you now and to
realize that every man of you is en-
gagged in work-in work that pays good
you have high standard
of living and that you are intending to
uplift the individual in order that the
nation may be uplifted."

TYPHOID LURKED IN POND.
Epidemic of Disease at Solomon
Blamed on Stagnate Water.

Solomon, Kan, Sept. 28.-Dr. T. R.
Conklin of Abilene, health officer for
Dickinson county, was called to this
city by DR.. Roberts to make an inves-
t1gation into the cause of the several
typhoid fever cases in the northwest
part of town.
After visiting the homes of the pa
tientS and examining the surround
ings the doctors drove to a pasture,
just across the city limits, where they
found deep gully in which was a
large pool of stagnant water.
This water had been standing there
all summer and it and the few feet of
earth between it and the sheet water
was undoubtedly alive with typhoid
fever germs. 1t was only a few hun
dred feet from the neighborhood
where the fever cases are located, and
there is no doubt that it was the di-
rect cause of the sickness.
The doctors consulted with the
township and city officials and it was
decided to drain the pond at once. A
force of men and teams We're put to
work Immediately with pIows and
scrapers and by night the water had
all disappeared. Several barrels of
lime were used in the pond, both be-
fore and after it was drained, and
now that ditch has been opened to
the river it is thought that there will
be no more trouble from that source

HAVE A HORSE THIEF.
Joe Douglas Arrested in Topeka on
This Charge.

Joseph Douglas of Hiawatha arrested
here, charged with horse stealing, was
turned over to Patrolmen Woodward
and Weatherly in North Topeka by two
men whose names are withheld.
Directly upon his arrest the prisoner
developed an acute attack of indiges-
ton, rendering him unable to answer
questions, but this much has been
learned. He stole a race horse valued
at $500 from his brother in Hiawatha
and started for Topeka. On the way he
traded the horse for an old nag and a
good consideration as boot.
In Topeka he had sold his new ac-
QUESTION for SIS before the officers got
to him and the police know where to
find the victim.
The police wired the brother of the
arrest and he promised to be down on
the earliest train to try to recover his
horse and talk it over with his erring
relative.

THEY REFUSE TO ELECTRIFY.
Chicago OhiciaIs Planning to Fight
Illinois Central.

Chicago. Sept 2s.-Illinois Central
railroad officials will refuse to electrify
the line within the city when the plans
for elctrifcation come before the d1-
rectors October 90, according to word
that reached the City hall today. The
report caused a sensation in Mayor
Buses cabinet. With this ultimatum
of the railway company came the dis
covery that for weeks city officials had
been quietly preparing for tltantlc
battle with the lake front railway cor
poration, in which the police force may
be used to suppress the running of
trains as a nuisance. .ztz1c &c
Other railway companies will be
drawn into the fight. They are said to
be backing the Illinois Central, the
stockholders fearing that once begin
ming is made in Chicago other roads
will have to electrify.

MANHATTAN FAIR A SUCCESS.
Promoters Plan for Larger and Better
Meeting Next Year

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 28.-The
figures for the annual fair of the
Manhattan Fair association may look
small when compared with those of
cider fairs in the other towns of the
state, but they suit the directors of
the association we'll enough that they
fair.
1t is not altogether on the attend
ance or the number and quality of the
exhibits that the directors base their
prediction that there will be another
fair next year, but upon the enthusi-
astic pro-fair sentiment everywhere
exhibited. There is no question about
the people of this community in the
town and country, wanting a fair and
the Agricultural Fair association is de-
termined to give it to them.

REASON ROADS ARE ACTIVE.
Joseph Stewart, Second Assistant Post
master General, Explains IT.

AAoSNcr OoLerd1, Explains Ii.
Kansas City, Sept 2s.-The second
assistant postmaster general. Joseph
Stewart, who is in charge of the trans
portation of the mails at Washington,
is attending the railway mail carriers
meeting here. From 1887 to 1891 b
practiced law in Kansas City, and left
here to enter the government service
the assistant postmaster general is
native Kansan. He was born near
humboldt, Kan, and is a son of Major
Watson Stewart, pioneer Kansan.
Just now,'H Mr.. Stewart said this
morning, ''the railroads west of the
Missouri river are engaged in a con-
test over the handling of the mails
which probably will result in a reduc-
ton of twelve hours in the running
time of the principal mail train be-
tween Kansas City and San Francisco.
Recently the postoffice department re-
celVed proposal from the Santa Fe
to equip such train, to be used ex-
clusively for mail and express. They
said they would clip off twelve hours.
Then the Rock Island and the South
ern Pacific met this proposal. Since
then 1 regret to say the Santa Fe has
withdrawn its proposition. We hope
that out of this rivalry we will be able
to get a fast mail service to the coast.
1.-THE reason for the activity on the
part of the railroads at this time is the
approach of the end of the quadren-
NAL mail Weighing period. This will
take place in the spring. Every four
years the government weighs the
mails. and the pay to the railroads is
based on the number of pounds of
mail they are carrying at that particu
lar time. Hence their anxiety to be a
big carrier at the quadrennial weigh
ing period. 1t means that for the sue
ceeding four years they will be paid
on the basis of what they are carrying
at the time of weighing, whether they
continue to carry much or little. This
is law which ought to be changed.
and have recommended to congress
that it give the postoff1ce department
statutory authority to divert the pay
of the railroads when the mails are
diverted. So far congress has not
taken any action"

KANsAN SHARES IN POLE GLORY

glory out of the North Pole discovery,
no matter whether it was Peary or
Cook who did it.
Buffalo Jones in a letter which he
has written says:

STANDARD TO ENTER OKLAHOMA
Oil Company May Be Compelled to
Build Around Kansas.

Independence, Kan, Sept 2S.-At
the present time conference is being
held in New York to determine some
plan by which the Standard Oil COM
pany may enter Oklahoma as a pipe
line concern and at the same time not
endanger the parent company by
making it amenable to Oklahoma laws
and constitutional provisions. To
have the right of eminent domain in
Oklahoma it is necessary for COM
pany to domeSticate. To exercise
such right is necessary in order to
build pipe lines. The Standard does
not desire to domesticate; therefore
the conference at the present time in
New York
The desire of the Standard is to
build the pipe line in connecting the
Oklahoma fields with the refinery at
Baton Rouge, La. A pipe line to
Whiting, Kan, is already in operation
from the Kansas and Oklahoma fields.
The Standard has found that it can
build the pipe line to the Southern
Oklahoma border, and is ready and
willing to advance that far in the con-
struction, but the present Oklahoma
laws cause the construction to stop
at the state line.
plan has been under consideration by
the Standard, and that, with such a
scheme in view. Investigations have
been made to build the pipe line
around the eastern border of this
state, escaping entrance into Okla
homa entirely, and then tap the pipe
line to Whiting somewhere in the
Kansas field. By a cutoff all the oil
desired to be sent to Baton Rouge
could be taken fro mthe Whiting line.
This plan has not been abandoned en-
tfrely, but is held up for the present
because it is known such a plan
would draw adverse criticism from
Oklahoma and perhaps other states.

HONEY BEE IN GIRLS THROAT.
Young Woman Found Singer in
Draught of Cider.

Fort Scott, Kan. Sept. 2S.-Miss
Carrie Wood. the sixteen-year- old
daughter of Mr.. Wood, was the victim
of distressing accident when she
was stung va honey bee on the in
side of her throat. The poison from
the sting caused her throat to swell
Immediately and by the time she
reached the office of a physician, she
was unable to speak or swallow.
The accident happened in a pecu-
liar manner. Cider making had been
in progress at the Wood farm and
some of the children had been drink
ing cider through an elder straw.
Miss Wood started to take a drink
of cider in that way and the bee
which had crawled into the straw
was drawn into her mouth. Before
she realized it was there, pain in
her throat told of its undesirable
