New York city is planning for big
Hudson. Fulton celebration next Sep
TENDER. There will be eight days OF
pageantry. with parades on land and
water. to commemorate the three hun
dredth anniversary Of the arrival OF
the Half Moon.
The Half Moon assembled the Hud-
son to the present site Of Albany and
. bit beyond. and 1t is expected that
al Of the river towns between New
York and that point will Join in the
noise-making. the illuminations and
the general gayety.
A duplicate OF the Half Moon Is be-
ing built in Holland. and from the
Clermont, Fulton's boat. Naval Con-
structor w. J. Baxter is preparing
plans from which the Clermont IL to
be reproduced. II IL a curious fact
that the naval parade committee has
had greater difficulty In determining
tho appearance Of the Clermont. built
in 1907. than in determining that OF
the Half Moon. which entered the
river nearly two full centuries before.
The findings Of the committee with
respect to the Half Moon have been
approved by the highest naval au-
thorities In Holland. and the ship Is
now being built by the people OF Hol-
land to b presented to the commit.
tee. But In making the fac smile OF
the Clermont the committee not only
lacked contemporaneous pictures OF
the vessel. but authentic descriptions
Of it, details were also almost entirely

Mr. and Mrs. u. A. Parsons uf this
city have been waiting for severdl
weeks for the roads and weather con
dltions to became right to take an
automobile ride over to Coyvllle.
Last Sunday they concluded the
signs were right and started Oh the

Ia their machine and Jacob Young,
wife and daughter in the Young ma
chine.
Mr.. Young drove his machine over
bank and his daughter was thrown
forward out OF her seat. Her lips and
mouth were paiDfully bruised and
cut.
The Parsons machine stuck in the
mud and Mr. Parsons had to prance
all over the country through the rain

Rain.

The glorious rain that visited this
section Sunday afternoon, Sunday
night and portion Of Monday, put
crop conditions in the best possible
shape. Over an inch Of water fell and
the ground is thoroughly saturated

tions began this spring.
The growing corn was clean and In
fine condition TO receive the rain.
The wheat and oats will now shoot

w0RTH THINKING OVER.

A good many towns In Kansas have
at various times discussed she ques-
tion OF commission form OF govern.
ment. Agitation has been quite gen.
eEal, Salina Is one of these towns,
and during the past few weeks three
lecturers were brought there TO give
free lectures on the subject. Fl, d.
Lee of that city, business man
known all over Kansas, recently pub
llshed his opinion of thaS style Of
government, and particularly as ap-
Piled TO Salina. He thinks such q v
ernment is not good. He says he
noticed that the lecturers used almost
the same language; "If you have
municipal ownership, YOU must have
control by commission. He goes on
to relate that Mr.. Roosevelt declared
the commission form IF government
in Washington, d. @ q failure, and
recounts the Galveston experience.
Then he drives home few point
statements, fraught with figures and
cold logic, which any town anywhere
may study to advantage, but especially
the towns Of Salinas population
and thereabout may think over with
advantage. MIR. Lee concludes his
letter to the Salina newspapers in
this way:
"Tne only claim made by the advo-
Gates Of commission form of govern
ment is that the government would
| be more of business govern ment,
honestly and capably administered,
overlooking the fact entirely thai
| these commissioners, like eouncilmen
| mayor or any other officer, are elected,
and that there is no more assurance
that honest, capable men will bt
slecGed commissioners than there rs
now that honest, capable men win br
elected as councimen. And tnt
danger Is net eliminated by the facL
that they are called commissioners.
but rather increased because of the
smaller number of them. T hen, {, c,
commission form Uf government for
town of the size Of Salina is eX-
pensive because of the fact that there
IS an Increase in expenses without
corresponding Increase in benei ts
Our present tax levy brings US in our
municipal purposes about $3.50
Three commissioners under the PIES
ent law would draw in salaries about
$4,000, or 10 percent Of the entire
fund collected for municipal purposes.
This fHnd is distributed IN monthly
payments based largely On fixed
charges, as for instance, electric
lights, water charges, policemen S
saIari ?, paving contracts, etc. Is it
not small sum to pay for 80 small
service? This sum is now being dis
bursed through the couucil without
any charge, as honestly and int IL
gently as any commission Of three
men could possibly do it. Is there
aRa good business reason why we
should pay 10 per cent of the taxes
which we collect to three men for the
purpose Of distributing 1t to pay our
debts The commissioners CO lid per-
form no other service for the city
than the council is now performi x.
There could be no other improvements
because there would be no funds with
which to pay for chem, and no larger
revenue could be elected by taxation
because the limit of assessment has
already been reached"

Hampton, April 19.-It looks as tho

ascertain whether or not intoxicating
liquors are being sold in this county by
registered pharmacists, contrary to the
law.
Judge Wright, who in holding the
present term of court here. recently
issued orders directing the county at
torney and sheriff to investigate all the
reports and requests for liquor blanks
of all the drug stores of the county,
now on file at the office of the county
auditor. and to ascertain if any of the
permit holders have been selling to
habitual drunkards, or whether they
are otherwise selling liquor Illegally.
The county officials are also directed
to thoroughly investigate all cases of
Bookkeeping, and of all who may in any
way be engaged in the illegal sale of
liquor within the county. The order d.
reefs that a full report shall be ready

Davenport, April 19.-Seventy-three
Davenport saloonists will be forced to
go out of business when the new liquor
measures become effective.
II. B. Betty, attorney for the Civic
Federation said that every one of the
seventy-three saloonkeepers who We're
recently enjoined would have to go out
of business by July 4, whether the
Civic Federation took any action or
not, for if they did not they would be
put out of business by the new laws
passed and not only the saloonkeepers
would have to go but the property
could not be used for a saloon until
the number had been reduced to less
than one for every thousand.
According to the decision these sa-
loon men are operating in violation
of law. The new bills provide that no
saloonkeeper who has been injoined
can conduct q saloon in the state and
it provides that when the saloon man
is enjoined the property can not again
be used for saloon purposes until the
number is less than one for every
thousand.
Therefore in order not to have the
property barred from being a saloon
it will be necessary for the owners to
secure new tenants before July 4.

sending 32-caliber bullet thru his
brain while in his room at the Kirk

Two hours before Elan committed
suicide, Axel F. Borg, 1904 East Court
