what Free Hides Has Done.

When the recent fight was on in
Congress for free hides, Range Ssna-
tors claimed that II hides were made
free cattle would decline Ia price.
The reverse il true. Last week beef
steers sold In Chicago at $3.50, year
lings at s715 and beef cows brought
$500 which are the highest prices
ever paid IN August Free hides,
therefore, seem to have helped the
farmers instead Of hurting them, as

Say. Mr. Blank, there's ball game
down at the park to-day, and I'm

Now. the attorney is not a hard
hearted man, and was willing the boy
should go, but thought he would teach
him little lesson in good manners.
Jimmie" he said. that isn't the way
to ask a favor. Now. you come over
hero and sit down, and I'll show you
how to do IT,"
The boy took the office chair and his
employer picked up his cap and stepped
outside. He then opened the door soft
ly. and, holding the cap In his hand.

HOUSE ROBBERIES.
lust A Few Visits OF Night PrOwling Amateurs,
Who Grabbed A Watch And Moved On.

Last Tuesday night the residences
Of Will Mar tin, S. J. Kinkead and
I. J. Schall, were entered by sneak
thieves at some time after midnight.
The party that did the work seemed
to be looking for only money and
watches. At each place watch was
stolen, but the parties visited say
that they had but small amount of
change at their houses at the time SO
that the watches we're the chief loss.
Will Martin says that he seldom
locks his doors at night. 1t happen
ed that Mrs. Martin had locked them
that night, but there was window
that was not fastened, and an en-
trance was made through this win
dow. There was an incubator in one
of the rooms, and the lamp burning
there was put out.
None Of the parties robbed were
awakened, and there was very little
left to work on by the officers who
were notified Wednesday morning.
Cards we're sent out by the sheriff,
and the officers Of adjoining towns
were wired to look out for suspicious
characters, descriptions Of the watches
b eing given.

PARTY WILL BE HERE NEXT
WEEK TO GO OVER TIE
ROUr, FROM DODGE CITY
SOUTHWEST T PREPARAl oRy
TO SURVEY
WILL TAKE CROWD FROM HERE
Men Who Expect to Build This
Road, Are Making Active Pre-
parations To Get Project
Started This Year.

A party of men who have been
working on the project of building a
railroad to extend southwest from
Dodge City to the corner of the state,
and east from Dodge to Pratt county,
will arrive in Dodge City on next
Monday, or the day following. Mr..
Collingwood, who at one time was a
heavy investor in Ford county, and
who has large amount of land in
Southwest Kansas at present, will be
one of the party, and there will be
representatives from Plains, Liberal
and other points.
A crowd from Dodge City will ac-
company the party from here on an
overland trip to the southwest to look
over the ground where the line is
planned to cross. DR.. Simpson, III.
Pettjohn, P. Fl. Sughrue, Mayor
Gluck, G.. NJ. Hoover, A. Russell and
others have been asked to 60 with
the party.
Considerable of the preliminary
work Of organizing the company has
been done, and the time for active
work in the field has arrived.
The representatives will no doubt
announce some Of their future plans
next week, when they arrive here.
The year Of 1909 is none too early for
this much needed railroad to be
started, and the five counties in the
extreme southwest corner OF the state
are particularly anxious to see the
work begin
1t has never been anything but u
question Of time, as such a road is q
necessity to much Of the territory
where it is planned, and it is to be
hoped that 1909 is the time.

HOUSE NUMBERS.

House numbers will be placed in posi-
ton on all houses within very short
time. The street commissioner has been
Instructed by the council to place the
numbers He is now starting on the
work. After placing the number on
your house, he will come to the door and
ask you for his pay and you should have
the money ready for him, as the city does
not do a credit business The charge will
be small compared with towns where the
numbers are put up BY private parties.
The cost here will be 15c and zoe for each
house, whereas when the numbers are
put up by private parties the cost is abous
75c. The city will place thu numbers at
cost and for this reason you mus have
the money ready when the street COM
missioner reaches you. A fine of 81 and
costs is provided for any one who refuses
to lumber his house,

NO DECREASE NOTICED
lack Rabbit Harvest VIII Last All Year
Around Over SO, 900 Killed In Last
Six Months.

Since the bounty was placed on
rabbits in this county, six months ago,
the ears from over $4,000 jack rabbits
have been delivered to the county
clerk, and the two cents per bounty
paid amounts to over $700. 1t will
amount to a pretty good sized sum in
year, but it seems to be q necessity
to get rid of the rabbits. Whether
the bounty will wear them out or not
will have to be decided by the county
board after fair test.
Edwards county has just decided
to quit. paying a bounty on rabbits,
and it is to be hoped that the rabbits
of that county will not get offended
at that action and move over the line
into Ford county. Those who have
expressed themselves on the matter
seem to think that the bounty should
be kept on until the rabbits are
thinned out. II it fails the expert
ment might be tried here which is
said to have been q success in some
other countries, that Of using prep
aration which gives the rabbit that
gets it a contagious disease, and once
started keeps going. Some are try
ing such preparation on rats here
now, and will be able to report the
success OF it later.

The Santa Fe Plug" which runs
between Dodge City and Newton,
killed young man named Frick, at
Pawnee Rock last Saturday. Frick
was station helper, and had started
to cross No. 567 to carry the mail to
the other train, He did not know
that 566 was so close in and was
caught by it. He was taken on the
train to be left at Larned but died
before reaching there.
1t is said that papers for the dis
charge Of the unfortunate young man
had been sent to Pawnee Rock, but
had Just been received and had not
been delivered to him. The differ
ence Of few minutes would have lost
him his job, but would have saved

ORDINANCE PASSED YEARS AGO
Is In Effect, and Numbers Are
Being Placed. The 400
Blocks Are Between Chest
nut and Front Streets. Gen.
tral Avenue is Dividing Line

For the first time in the history of
Dodge City, the people are living
some where in particular, they know
where they live, and can tell you.
Years ago an ordinance was passed
by the city council, which designated
q system Of numbering the houses.
The blocks between Front street and
Chestnut were the 400 blocks, but
very few, if any body in town was
aware of it. When the conncil re-
Gently brought up the matter OF put
ting up street signs, and numbering
the houses, as step toward securing
free delivery, it was necessary to con
slider an ordinance which would es
tabllsh system of doing so. Some
one had an impression that in olden
times such an ordinance had been
passed. and the council dug into the
musty records, and found that
"someone's" impression had good
foundation. The ordinance proved
to meet all requirements, unless it
was preferred to number the blocks
north and south, from the railroad.
It was decided after consideration to
leaye the ordnance as it stood. BY
this ordinance on the streets running
north and south, the numbering
begins with basis on Second avenue,
at the Stewart barn north of the
bridge. This brings the mill and the
Sante Fe tracks in the 300 block, and
north Of Front street in the 400
block. The Bargain store is in the
500 block, and the Post Office in the
COOS.
East and west the numbering be-
gins on Central avenue, 80 that a
number on Chestnut street, west Of
Central avenue will be Chestnut
Street West" and the same on all OF
the other streets running east and
west.
This system gives people larger
numbers than they would have, II the
numbering began at Front street, but
it has the advantage of avoiding any
"North" and "South" divisions of the
different streets. 1t also places all Of
the banks, the opera house, the club
rooms, and other places too mysteri-
ous to mention, in the 400 block.
Street Commissioner Baker is busy
at present putting up the numbers.
and those bright new numbers are
calling attention to the fact that a
good many houses need painting this
spring. The street signs have been
ordered and should be here soon, and
they will be put up at once.
The numbering of the houses,
STRENGTHENING out Of street names, and
putting up Of the street signs is
small improvement, bat it is the best
one that has been made, for the looks
of the town, since permanent side
walks were built.

DIRTY, WORMY
CANDY IS SOLD
Olympia Candy Company Has
Trouble With Pure Food
Official.

Criminal proceedings against the pro-
prietors Of the Olympia Candy company,
a Greek candy store on South Main
street, will probably be brought within
a day or two by State Food and Dairy
Commissioner Willard Hanson for vlo-
latiOn Of the pure food laws of the state.
The suit is a result of the purchase of
some candy in the candy store yester-
day by a young lady employe at the
county recorders Office.
The candy was turned over to the
state food and dairy commissioner, and
was found to contain dirt and worms.
The state commissioner went to the
store with Deputy Smith and found a
tray of the same candy. The Greeks in
the place at first refused to allow the
commissioner to conisCate the candy,
but later turned it over to him and 1t
was destroyed. Some of the candy was
bought and this was sent to State
Chemist Herman Harms, who found
worms and dirt in it.
The candy was unfit for human con-
sumption, but much of it had been sold
during the day. It was placed on sale
yesterday at special prices, and many
customers bought of it. There have
been several complaints of the candy
sold at some Of the stores, and the state
commissioner will investigate these
cases.
