THE LURE OF HOME.

The human heart turns toward
home by law of attraction as ir-
resistible as that by which the moon
draws the sea, and the sun the lily.
The voyages may wander mid the
lure of pleasures and the vistas Of
palaces; he may make his way where
the splendor falls on castle walls
and hoary SUBMITS with scenes as
beautiful as those that greeted the
eyes of the Tannhauser in the cave
of the goddess, or sail unknown seas
under strange stars, but the yearn-
ing for home, memorable, ineluct-
able, still draws him. At no matter
what peril or cost he will seek to re-
turn.

A letter from Eugene McMeel,
who is attending medical college
at Chicago, says that he attended
the Land and Irrigation exhibi-
ton there last week and found
DIR. Simpson and Chef Hulburt
on duty talking of and showing
the beauties of Meade county.
Gene says that Meade has the
only exhibit from Kansas, and
the best one there. The artesian
well and the showing of products
attracts universal attention. The
well IS the wonder of all visitors.

DEATH PROVED INNOCENCE.

The death of Frank Victor
Sterck, a remanded prisoner in
Brixton prison, London, the other
day pathetically affords proofs of his
innocence of the charge brought
against him. He was found sitting
on a doorstep, and was arrested on
suspicion of being a burglar. He
protested that he sat down because
he felt i'll. A bunch of keys and
matches found on him appeared sus-
picious, and the magistrate re-
manded him.

series of continued stories, in
which local historical events of
interest will be the leading feat

inal articles by different persons,
some of which will be copies of
papers published in the Histori-
cal collections of the Kansas State
Historical Society. Some will be
first published in these columns.
Others will be reviews of the
early days of the Santa, Fe trail,
and personal adventure of those
active in this immediate vicinity
before during and sincet the early
settlement. Among others the
life and work of John Jobling,
father of county commissioner
William Jobling, and the founder
of the Pearlette colony, We also
hope to get few articles from
Addison Bennett, the publisher

we have reasons to think that he
may be prevailed on to do so.

This was written al the request
of Hon. Geo. w. Martin, sec
retaIy of the Kansas State His
torica1 Society, and published in
the 10th Vol. Kansas Historical
Collections.
Mr.. Harper is one OF abe few
men yet living whoselife and act
ivities overlap the old days of the
cattle trailfrom the great ranges
of the southwest, the Texas Pan
Handle and the commercial, farm
ing days of the present.
Mr.. Harper was al actor in
both the old and the new reg
emies. Born in southwest Texas,
he has been cowboy, trail and
roundup boss, cattle owner,
ranchman and farmer, land own
er and banker. His life covers
both periods in such manner that
following his career pictures the
old days, blends the passing of
the trail epoch INFO the closed
rach and cropping period, which
was the last stand of the exc1us-
lively stock raising times, into the
farming days of the present.

Railroad News

Prospects for a railroad through the
Oklahoma Panhandle are Frightening
II the many reports Of renewed activ-
ity among railroad circles count for
any thing. As we have stated before,
the Beaver Valley road has better
prospects for completion now than
ever before and with the backing they
have secured has possibly the best
chances FOR building while there are a
number Of other railroad projects
which are reported through the papers
Of the state a. being headed this way
Among the other roads which now
have lines or are projected in this di-
rection can be named the Wichita
Falls & Northwestern which intends
to extend Its line TO Woodward and
Denver, the Oklahoma Central which
also has aspirations in the same direc-
tion, the Canadian Valley has a survey
through this section while both the
Frisco and santa Fe have In eye on an
east and west line through the Okla
homa Panhandle.
An item Published in a recent issue
Of the Kansas City Journal stated that
7. L. L%uttgerding who was the con-
tractor for the construction Of the
Of the Beaver Valley road at
the time it first started work

manager OF a newly organized COM
pany which intends to build a line
from Wichita to Denver by way OF
Kinsley and Scott City. The fact thai
all these lines are now pushing theii

ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM
IN HIGHLAND PARK

The most important scientific mu
scum west of Chicago has been es
tablished by the Southwest society of
the Archaeological Institute of Amer
lea in it's rooms in the Pacific Elec-
trio building, in which are installed
as many of the collections of this So
ciety as they have room for.
Not only in respect of Southern Cal
ifornia, but even of Arizona, the
Southwest museum already can afford
comparison with the National museum
in Washington or any other; and as
for the historical collections of Cali
fornia beginning with the mission
epoch and continuing through the
conquest by Fremont, and the time of
the Argonauts) no other museum can
at all compare with what they al
ready have.
1t was decided at the outset that
such an institution should not be set
down under the feet of commerce, nor
upon buzzing streets where in a few
years it would be smothered. 1t was
decided that the museum shall be
built where it cannot be walked on
on a hill, where it shall see and be
seen; above and outside the smoke
and dust and noise of metropolitan
streets, and yet absolutely easy of ac-
cess from any part of this city as 1t
is or as it shall be.
A site of thirty-eight acres, which
fully justifies it's promise to secure
"the noblest location occupied by any
public building in the United States"
has been purchased. This is an acrop-
