OF free shows and lectures that have
Vi Fought out thousands of our cit

rast five weeks. With tines as hard
as they are, and money n scarce as

Gus and what is more strsnge, is the
fact that among the enormous
crowds that gather nightly on the
Red Lot only good words and prais-
es can be heard for his medicines.
and 1T is not hard to believe his oft
repeated statement that there are
now very few houses In Bluefield

DANGER IN BULB DUTY.
Salina Milling Company Sends Letter
to Senator BriStow.

Salina. Kan, April IA local milling
company has sent a letter to Senator
Joseph L. Bristow. asking on behalf of
the milling interests of this state his in
f1uence in defeating the measure now
being attempted to include in the new
tariff bill a duty on bulbs from Hol-
land and other such items from Eng
land. The point being brought out in
the letter is that should a duty be
placed upon these goods in those coun-
tries, they will retaliate by placing a
duty on American flour which is now
admitted free. This would work hard
ship on the wheat growers and millers
of Kansas.
Following are extracts from the let
ter:
THE largest industry. outside Of
farming in Kansas, is milling. The mills
a year ago ground over AZ, 000, 600 bushels
of wheat out of s., 900, 900 bushel crop.
This was what was done by the 400 mills
of the state. How much better it would
have been for the state if every bushel
of our wheat crop could have been
ground at home. The additional wages,
profits, etc, would have added to our
state $4,000 900 900.
There is continual effort to get
our wheat away from us unground, es-
pecially is this true of foreign countries.
They resort to all kinds of discriminate
ing tariffs against our -four, but in
most cases admit wheat with little or
no duty. This is for the purpose OF

ELECTION FIGHT AT TRIBUNE.
Sidewalks Furnish the Bone of Con-
tention

Tribune, Kan, April Tribune,
the county seat of Greeley county, is
to have a genuine city election on
April 5. This is practically the first
city election with any enthusiasm for
twenty years. About twenty years
ago they had a few warm city cleo
tons when Senator Glenn was secre-
tary of the Old Town Site company
J. U. Brown, an attorney. now a resi-
dent of Hutchinson, and D. A. Parsons
now of Chanute, formerly of this
place, was a town site boomer, and
Horace and Tribune were having a
fight as to the county seat. Tribune
fianally won the county seat and
the two towns just two miles apart.
After the fight and Tribune won the
county seat and Horace the division
station. there was but little to do ex-
cept pay city warrants, which had
accumulated during the city fight and
agitation over the county seat and di-
vision station, the expense being in
Cured at these times. The debts be-
ing now partly cleaned up, the country
becoming more settled, the old guard
moving out of the town, the town
being built up with new blood, and
filed with men who come from more
progressive villages and hamlets, the
retiring city council this year has
mile or more of cement sidewalk No
sidewalk has ever before been run in
the streets in the corporate limits of
the city of Tribune, and there is where
the rub comes in, two tickets are out
one for sidewalks and taxation, the
other for no sidewalks and no taxation
and walk in the mud.

THAT ELECTRIC LINE.
Hooker and Dixon Look Over Field in
Lawrence.

Lawrence, Kan, April 1.-Mr.
Hooker and Mr.. Dixon, the two Kan
sas City men who are most interested
in the present interurban system now
being built out of Kansas City, have
been here looking over the ground.
Before their departure they gave as
surance that they will want to come
through Lawrence.
The object of their visit was to see
in what condition a local franchise
can be granted in order to see what
kind of connections an interurban and
local system can make. They went
away satisfied. They stated that they
will not ask for a franchise for a
right of way through here until their
line is near the city.
Contracts have how been let for
seven more miles of road which will
bring the road half way between
Lawrence and Kansas City, and from
this it can be seen that it will not be
long before the outskirts of Lawrence
will be reached. The men say that
this will be in the early fall at which
time they will come before the coun-
Gil and ask for a franchise. At pres
ent they want to wait until their line
is near enough so that the proposition
will be something definite.

There is a very grave danger that
we will lose our Holland flour trade,
amounting to 100000 barrels per an
mum, unless we make our tariff to gain
the powerful influence of Hollands bulb
growers, and this can be done without
detriment to any producer. as we do not
raise bulbs. The only parties that
might be affected would be a few brok-
