j. FL. Morrow Sounds Note of
Warning to Commercial
Club Members.
SAYS WALLA WALLA
MUST KEEP AWAKE
Spokane and Seattle Are in
Field for New
Building.

J. H. Morrow sounded a note of
warning at the weekly luncheon Of
the Commercial club in the DacreS
hotel this afternoon by saying it was
high time the club took some action
looking to the establishment in Walla
Walla of the knights of Pythias home
for which the local order is working.
Mr. Morrow said it was such institu-
tions that went to form a great city,
and that Walla Walla was in line for
just such things. Seattle and Spo-
kane are casting their glances upon
the proposed home, but as this city
was first in the field, it is the feeling
of local Pythians and business men
in general that the claim should be
recognized
A committee was appointed last
fall from Columbia lodge, No. 8,
Knights of Pythias, and members have
since been working in the endeavor
to interest Pythians in other parts
of the state in giving this city some
consideration. The question of where
the home shall be located will be de-
cided by a vote of the grand lodge at
it's meeting to be held in Seattle this
work being done in favor of this city,
lit is not improbable that Walla Walla
will be the location of the new IN
stitution.
A 20 per cent per capita tax was
levied last year by the knights OF
Pythias grand lodge, the proceeds to
revert to a bui,ying and maintenance
fund. Since the committee from CO.
lumbia lodge was appointed Seattle
and Spokane have become aspirants
for the honor of securing the new
home and present indications give
rise to the belief that there will be
something of a contest when tne
question is put to the vote OF the
grand lodge.
Nav Donate Site.
Now that the matter has been calleu
to theattention of the commercial
cl,,b the board of trustees will prob
ablv act upon it, if only to give the
moral support Of the organization. II
! ir nrobable however, in the face OF
the efforts being expended by Seattle
and Spokane. that a site will be
chosen here. and some concessions
granted in order that the Garden City
NAV be first in the consideration of
the grand body at its 1909 session.
Climatic conditions in the Waiia
walla valley are being advanced as
one of the strongest arguments In
favor of giving Southeastern Wash
ington and this county the honor, as
It is held the wet and cloudy weather
of the west side of the state would be
unuleasa for the aged Pythians who
will spen d their declining days in the
home. Members Of the local order
NAV cooperate with the Commercial
club in working for the home, which
will he a source of mutual benefit.

Was Much Needed In Some Parts Of the
County and VIII bs Great for tho
Wheat.
A good rain, which came this after
noon from 2 O'Clock to O'Clock, was
one Of the big events at Dodge City this
week. The breadth of the shower has
not been learned, but from appearances
here, 1t must have covered good por
tion of the county and 1t will do q vast
amount Of good to the wheat fields.
About half Of the county had received
good showers during the past few days,
but from Dodge City south to the Null
berry and strip north Of town, rain
was needed very badly.
Wheat prospects look much more en-
couraging in Ford county now than q
week ago. Night before last there was
a good shower In Royal township. The
wheat In Wilburn and Bloom townships
has been reported in good shape. Ford
and Bucklin broke into the rain belt q
few days ago In time to keep the wheat
booming aud there was good rain In
the east end Of the county.

KILLED IN
A TORNADO.

The tornado which occurred IN
Barton county between Great Bend
and Heieer on last, Friday evening
caused the death Of two young men
whose homes were in Dodge City.
Walter Murray and Arthur Dellinger.
Theywere with the Santa Fe force on
the work train which was caught BY
the storm and received injuries which
resulted in their death. Murray was
conscious when be was picked up after
the storm, but Dellinger never regain
ed consciousness. Both were taken
to the hospital at Great Bend and
both died there on Sunday. Their
bodies were brought home to Dodge
City on Monday.
The boys were with Mr.. Browns
work train and on Friday the work
ing force had been operating pile
driver, repairing a bridge on the
Great Bend branch Of the Santa Fe,
between Great Bend and Heiser.
Between 4 and 5 o'clock a very
threatening cloud made its appear
ance. Conductor Frank Nicholson
suggested to Mr.. Brown that a bad
storm was coming and that they
take the train into Great Bend. Mr..
Brown said that there was some
work to be done at Heiser and that
they would run in there, so that it
the storm blew over they could
finish the day at that place. Walter
Dellinger. who had been doing work
al night, was at the time sleeping in
the raboose. The train was started
for Heiser as the storm was closely
approaching. Walter Murray was
the first to suggest that it was q
tornado and Conductor Nicholson
tried to motion the engineer to stop
the train, The engineer increased
speed thinking to get ont Of the path
Of the storm. Arthur Dellinger had
awakened and came to where
Nicholson and Murray were standing
in the caboose, just as Nicholson

shouted "We're caught. The three

shouted ''We're caught. The three
held together as the caboose swayed,
and as the car was carried into the
dir, they gripped each other and
still clung together. While the car
was in the air they were carried
from the car in a bunch, taken higher
and finally torn apart and dropped
in different places, Murray being
found nearly quarter OF a mile
from the train, Dellinger near the
pile driver and Nicholson some
distance from either.
Most Of the force received injuries
but only three were fatally hurt, the
two mentioned above and VIM.
Ackley. who had charge OF the
engine that operated the pile driver.
He was pinned under his engine
and instantly killed. One Of the
men, while being carried through
the air, saw one Of the chains from
the pile driver swinging about near
him and an instant later it slashed
at him like q whip, struck his arm
and broke it.
1t was pitch dark during the storm
and no one seemed able to give an
account Of what happened. The
Missouri Pacific road runs nearly
parallel with the Santa Fe, and from
a station on that road the news was
wired to Great Bend that there had
been a bad storm on the Santa Fe
and that the crew with the work train
probably had been killed. John
Ford, who had the switch engine a,
Great Bend, went out with a wreck
ing train at once and assisted in
gathering up the injured. The work
train itself was pretty badly demol
ished. Conductor Nicholson, al
though be had received serious in.
juries had been left with q good
pair Of legs and was helping tc
gather up those still worse in
iured. Some time after the storm
one man walked in, badly bruised
and with stick Of timber driven into
one leg SO far that be was unable tt
pull il out. BE did not know how
far be had been carried and had beer
cropping about in .: half unconscion
state. The engineer and fireman o

the train were not badly injured.
The fireman had crouched in the
cab and although the engine was
badly stripped be was not carried
from the place where he first crouched
The funeral Of Arthur Dellinger
was held from the Methodist church
Tuesday afternoon. Arthur was 10
years old, and was the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. 7. L. Delliuger Of this place.
He belonged to A. O. U. W. and
carried $4,000 insurance in that or
der, also $1,000 in the X. & L. Of 8.
Walter Murrey was 28 years Of age
and was the the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
P. Murrev, Of Dodge City. He was a
member Of the A. o. U. w. and
carried q benefit in that order.

which opened in Dodge City on
Monday morning Of this week, is
certainly something that the whole
town will take pride in. The fur
nishings are especially fine and OK
pensive. The tables are in booths
which have leather cushioned and
and high backed seats. At the front
is a large soda fountain, the marble
base of which extends around the
entire room as o base board. The
walls above the expensive fixtures
are covered with imported, hand
painted paper which is in keeping
with the rest Of the room. 1t is
said that there is not as well furnish

Vienna just opened here.
Everything is on an expensive
scale but the prices, which are lower
than the usual city short order
houses. MIR. Greene, the manager,
says that the best cook obtainable 9

be second to none to be found in any

ANOTHER PLAN OF
JUDICIAL REFORM

systems presented a report to the Bar Association convention at
Detroit yesterday. 1t embodies some radical recommendations.
The general scheme proposed is that of a court of three branches,
namely, a county court, to include municipal courts: a superior
court of first instance, and a single ultimate court of appeal. All
judges should be judges of the whole court, liable to sit in any
branch. The business administration of the court is to be com
mitted to some responsible court officer. The idea is to make a
thorough organization, to prevent waste and needless clerical
work and duplication of papers and records. Importance is thus
given to the county court as one of the branches of the proposed
State court. There is no equity court provided for in the CON-
mittee report. The scheme of the American Bar Association com
mittee, as will thus be seen, differs essentially from that which is
presented in the proposed judiciary amendment to the New Jersey
State Constitution. 1t is possible that the eminent lawyers of the
American Bar Association will produce SOM advantageous plan
Of judicial reform for the States, and New Jersey will have shut
her constitutional doors to such reform if the pending amend
ments shall be adopted by the people, for the influences that favor
these amendments will surely prevail to keep them in the Con
stftution.

have insomnia is that when they go to bed they can
not go to sleep; they begin to worry and fuss and stew

to wait until they are sleepy and then go to sleep.

VOTING MACHINE


voting machines has finally discouraged the newspaper advocates
Of the machine, for they have held a "mum sociable" ever since.
We hear nothing now of the singular argument that only a per,
esntage of the voters voted, and that all the voters who failed to
vote favor the machine. Nothing is said about the fell work of
the "bosses" and "corruptionists" in producing the election results.
for 1t is obvious to the simplest mind that where district elections
an 60 one way in Republican and Democratic communities, and
among voters of all classes and degrees, there is a universal seni-
ment quite independent of dictation or control. 1t is equally plain
to the commo understanding that where percentages of the vote
all agree in their verdicts they must necessarily reflect the great
majority sentiment. In point of fact, the only cases on record in
which there has been successful interference by officials or others
occurred in Paterson and BayOnne, where the people were pre-.
vented from holding special elections, and were, therefore, unable
to testify their condemnation of the voting machines.

THE WATER-SNAkE
IN SOUTH JERSEY

70 this section of the State. In Camden city, where the water
snake Is reaching out for the citys water supply, the taxpayers
protest that Camden now has an abundant supply of aoueduct
water, which can be increased, if necessary. Why, then, should
the Council entertain any proposition for a contract with private
interests? The question would seem to be conclusive, but it isn't.
The water-snake evidently has slmed the way for a contract. The
ground is always prepared for its appearance. Camden must be
eaptured preliminary to the conquest of all of South Jersey below
Trenton. While the negotiations are going on at Camden the
Woter-snake is busy elsewhere. It will be heard from indifferent
South Jersey municipalities vezy soon.
