BURLINGTON MEN
MET TO MAKE PLANS

Officials of the Denver, Laramie Il
Northwestern road will meet in the
near future, it is said, to consider
what action will be taken i'm view of
the answer of the Union Pacific road
which is soon to be filed. 1t is the
belief of the officials that the sur
veying records will show that there
is but one place where the Union Pa
cifc right of way, even though they
make the claim valid, for two hum
drcd feet on either side of their pres
ent trackagc. will interfere with the
Denver, Laramie Il Northwestern.
This point is said to be about
Thirteenth street, where both the
Burlington and the Laramie
roads were forced to crowd over to-
ward the Union Pacific because of the
fact that the so-called Spear road
| forced them over.
The Burlington officials held a
| meeting in Denver yesterday, but
the results of the conference were
kept a secret. 1t was only announc-
ed that the meeting was in refer
ence to the action of the Union Pa
cific in establishing a claim to 200
| feet right of way on either side oil
their track.
| The answer of the Union Pacific
has caused more of furore in rail
road circles than anything that has
come up for many months and ever
the centers in New York and Chi
cago have been shaken.

THE HUNGE.. OF THE
SAXON FNOk MORE LAM

Following IL an interesting md
most pertinent editorial taken from
the washington Post and which the
Tribune reprints because OF it's
worth:
Ours is an Anglo-Saxon people
and we trace our line back to Fiod.
den field. to Bannockburn, to Crecv
to Poictiers, to Agincourt-aye to
Hastings. 1t Is doubtful IL apy soutb.
ern state. even Virginia or Ken
tucky or Mississippi, is more distinc-
lively Anglo-Saxon than Kansas.
There the north and south met In
death grapple as early as 1867. lin
Lane proposed to have 1t settled by n
duel. He, at the head of 100 Jay.
hawkers, was to meet Senator Atchi-
son, at the head OF 100 border ruf-
fans and to fight 1t out on the lines
OF that conflict that Sir Walter Scott
tells US of in THE Fair Maid Of
Perth. III the survivor OF this bat
tie royal was an abolitionist then
slavery was to be abolished; II. on
the other hand, the victory was wun
Atchison, then the whole country was
to be slave territory.
And, after all. would not that have
oSSh thS bVNISi Wuy W SetVle Ill 2
Perhaps not. History would NOT
then have made acquaintance with
Ulysses s. Grant and Robert T.. Lee.
Mayhap we should never have heard
of Abraham Lincoln. AS for Jeffer-
son Davis and William II. Seward,
their fame was already established
But to get back to Kansas. There
that Anglo-SaXon is selling his land
for 500 the acre, and he is going
to other fields, where he can get the
same land in fertility for $40 the
acre. What cormorant he is, this
AnglO-Saxon. for land and for sea
Let him go south. where he will
find in his white brother a true An
glo- Saxon. He will find there a
better climate and as rich land as he
left. But that is not all. Every
northern man who goes south means
the sending of at least one negro to
the north.

HOME OF CORN WAS IN
CHINA SAY AUTHORITIES

! 1t has been generally believed that
America was the original home or
corn. Last year a small lot of shell
ed corn of kind new to this coun-
try was sent to the department OF
agriculture from Shanghai, says the
New York Tribune. 1t proved to
have qualities that may make it val
liable in breeding corn adapted to
the hot and dry conditions of the
southwest Tho plants raised in the
test averaged less than six feet in
height. with an average of twelve
green leaves at the time of tasseling
The ears averaged five and half
inches in length and four and one
third inches in greatest circumieT-
ouca. with sixteen to eighteen rows
OF small grains. On the upper part
of the plant the leaves are all on
one side of the stalk instead of being
arranged in two rows on opposite
sides Besides this, the upper leaves
stand erect instead of dropping. and
the tips of the leaves are therefore
above the top of the tassel. The
silks of the ear are produced at the
point where the leaf blade is Joined
to the leaf sheath, and they appear
before there is any sign of an ear ey-
cept a slight swelling.
This corn is very different from
any that is now produced in America
It's peculiar value is that the erect
arrangement of the leaves on one
side of the stalk and the appearance
of the silks in the angle where the
leaf blade joins the sheath offer
protected place in which pollen can
settle and fertiliZe the silks before
the latter are ever exposed to the
air. This is an excellent arrange
ment for preventing the drying out
of the silks before pollentation. Whlle
this corn may be of little value 1t
self it is likely that by cross-breedlns
these desirable qualities can be i'm
parted to a larger corn, which VIII
thus be better adapted to the south
west.
The experts say that this parhcu
lar corn is so different from anything
in the new world that II must have
been developed in the old world, ana
intimate that corn was grown IN
China many years before the voyage
of Columbus The fact that this ad-
mission is made by experts of de-
partment which has a cabinet officer
from this country's greatest corn
state is interesting.

Rogers had come from the post
office with his arms filled with mail
The horse which he rides is usually
very gentle. nardly had he mount
ed the animal and was having a hard
time managing tie lines, cucumber
ed as he was with the mail, when the
horse slipped on the ice and hurled
him to the ground.
Rogers tried to extricate himself
from the stirrups and got one foot
out, but the other caught in the stir
rup and held him fast.
The animal struggled to his feet
and raced away down the street with
Rogers clinging as best he could to
the saddle straps with the arm which
was not broken.
After running block, the horse
whirled swiftly around a corner and
Rogers was thrown to the ground
He was helped to the office of a
nearby physician, where the arm was
set and Rogers then went nome. The
horse ran on to its stable.
II thought my time had come.

MURDEREsS ASKS
HELP E0k SDnlvSL

Unavailing in her efforts to obtain
the aid OF Greeley people in obtain
ing her realease. from the Nebraska
state pcntcntiary, Mrs. Jennie Gel.
ger Smith, convicted of the killing of
VOlly Mann, will try to obtain the
aid OF an attorney in getting her hus-
band freed from the same prison so
that he may make every effort to re-
lease her. The letter has been re.
ceived here, but Just what action will
he taken has not as yet been defin-
itely decided.
Mrs. Smith wrote letter to Gree
ley some time ago. asking the aid of
citizens here to obtain her release,
1t is sad, but thus far nothing has
come OF it, Now she is writing in
the hope of getting her husband re-
| leased from the penitentiary and then
hoping that he will take the pains
to get her out In view of their
hardly happy matrimonial relations,
with each OF them accusing the other
of numbering Volly Mann, it seems
hardly probable that the husband
would take any trouble to help free
Mrs. Smith or Dale or Geiger, as she
was known at different times.
1t Is hard to account for the wom-
| ans communication in any other way
except TO say that the two have, by
some method or other, entered into
some sort of an agreement.
Lafayette Dale and his wife. Mrs
| Jennie Geiger Smith Dale, were sen
fenced to the penitentiary she fol

for the killing of Volly Mann, a trav

and who had befriended them. The
