DINNER FOR MISS TAFT.
Christmas Monday Was a Quiet Day
at Washington.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Christmas Mon
day in the national capital was as quiet
as Christmas day. President Taft sur
prised his staff at the executive offices
by appearing there and reading his
mail. Secretary Nagel and Secretary
Meyer called on the president.
In the afternoon the president and
Mrs. Taft drove around the city, calling
at the residence of Admiral Dewey.
Secretary and Mrs. Nagel gave a din
ner last night in honor of Miss Helen
Taft. Members of the diplomatic corps
and Washington's official set entertain
ed at a number of informal dinners.
Admiral George Dewey, who was 20
years old, apparently did not expect
that most of official Washington would
call on him to tender congratulations,
for he went driving during the after
noon. He missed the president and Mrs
Taft, Chief Justice White, cabinet
members and a host of high officers and
members of the diplomatic corps who
left cards at the Dewey residence.
The admiral, arriving home at night
fall, found scores of kilograms of con-
graduation from friends in all parts of
the world. A constant stream of call
ers poured into the Dewey home during
the day. Mrs. Dewey, who is indispos-
ed, was unable to receive any of the
guests.

was the scene of the towns most i'm
portant social functions.
Mrs: Dalton is a graduate of Wellesley.
For the past three years she has studied
at the Boston Conservatory of Music. She
was considered one of the best educated
young women in town.
While in Boston two years ago. she met
young Dalton, who also attended school
there for time He was studying the
cello. He met Miss BowerSock and later
the two became engaged.
w hen the young woman told her father,
a scene followed, and the daughter was
told in no uncertain language, what to
expect should she marry Dalton. But she
loved Dalton and she said she didn't care
what happened.
Husband Younger Than His Bride.
Mr.. Bowersock also objected to the mar
rage because of the difference in ages.
Dalton has barely reached his majority.
Mrs. Dalton is q years old. Dalton's
father is professor of engineering in
Kansas university.
How long Mr.. Bowersock will hold out
against his daughter and her husband is
not known. At present, II is said. none
of his family is permitted to call upon
or to speak to Mrs. Dalton.
When the couple were married two
weeks ago, it was predicted that trouble
would follow; but the enlargement of
father and daughter, it was thought,
would not be for long.

PICKEN ON THE WARPATH.
Refuses to Acquiesce in Cut of Appro-
priation for Fort Hays.

W. S. Picken, superintendent of the
state normal school at Hays, does not
propose to quietly submit to the cut of
$4,000 in his estimate of appropria-
lions by the state auditor. He is cir
culating a statement of facts and needs
of the school all over the state and
will try to get his original estimates
through over the auditors veto. In
his statement of the case Superintend-
ent Picken says:
''Have you noticed that the total for
all the state educational institutions
as shown in a summary of your rec
concentrations given in the Capital of
the Sth instant, shows a net increase
over the appropriations granted by the
legislature of two years ago by $131,-
PAL, while the amount which you
recommend for the only state educa-
tional institution in the western two
thirds of the state, the Western State
Normal school, is $4,000 less than
the legislature thought wise to grant
to it's support two years ago?
"Have you also noted that your
recommendation for the other auxil-
iary normal school calls for a net in
crease for it of S104,500 over two
years ago, this increase being 5000
more than the total you deem it wise
to entrust to this school? Had you
figured that for the one you recon-
mend a decrease of something over "a
per cent and that for the other you
ask an increase of slightly under rs
per cent ?''

averaging ITO loads in a day. One set
of scales weighed $50 loads of broom
corn and 140 loads of wheat in a day.
The prices for the broom corn ranged
from $40 to $11O, depending on quail
ity. The money paid out in Liberal
since the marketing began is about
$250,000. About one-third of the crop
is in, according to estimates of va
rious farmers in the vicinity.
R. J. Terwilliger is the biggest
broomcorn grower in the locality. He
had out 400 acres this season. He
began marketing his crop last week,
and it will takebhim until January 1,
to complete thejob.s
Mr.. Terwilliger- is a farmer on a
large scale and in measure has
abandoned the use of horses in farm
ing his immense acres. He hauls
regular train loads of broom corn to
market plotted by a big traction en-
CINE. Mr.. Terwilliger is a big wheat
raiser also.
Seward county is not entirely de-
voted to raising broom corn. 1t is a
wheat county, also. About one-fourth
of this years crop has been marketed.
The money expended for wheat in
Liberal, a town of less than 1000 in
habitants, will be 100000, and for
broom corn $750,000.

LIBERAL, BROOM CORN CENTER.
Claims to Be Biggest Shipping Point
and Crop Is Enormous.

Liberal, Kan, Dec. 27.-The house
wife who for the last few years has
used her broom with as great care and
tenderness as, her best china may put
little more vigor into her sweeping
this year, for the broom corn crop is
the biggest and best for several years,
and the proba Utilities are that good
brooms will retire from the field as
parlor ornaments and return to their
original place behind the kitchen
door.
Liberal, in Seward county, claims to
be the biggest broom corn shipping
point, and this season the broom corn
shipment has been greater than ever
before. So far this season there have
been shipped from Liberal 80 car
loads. Twenty-Five car loads are in the
warehouses waiting shipment, which
makes a total so far of 335 cars. The
price has averaged but SIS per ton,
which is low compared with last years
high record prices.
When the broom corn begins to
move the wagons pour into town in
continuous procession for days. Pho
tographers get out with cameras and
take pictures of scenes as busy as
Broadway on a sunshiny afternoon. A
week or so ago $50 wagon loads of
brush" were counted in different sec
lions of the town.

out in the lower floor of the structure
today. Several persons were partially
overcome by the smoke before they
could be rescued and assisted to the

running and quickly emptied the
house of it's occupants. The fire was
confined to the first floor and did

Big Blue Find Fieldpiece.

Threw 1t in "Blue Hole"

Rooms by State Society.
Other Items Of General Interest
to Kansas Readers.

Kansas City, Kan, Dec. 27-Men who
fought in the battle of the Big Blue III
1864 have found a cannon captured
from Col G. w Veale of Topeka near
Cassville, Mo-, after a search of 46
years. The cannon is to be raised
from the bottom of a hole into which
it was thrown, and placed in the rooms
of the Kansas State Historical society
until a monument is erected to the
memory of the Kansas soldiers.
About a year ago E. F. Heisler. sec
rotary of the Kansas Soldiers Memorial
association, learned that a cannon had
been thrown into the Blue Hole in
Flat creek, four miles north of Cass-
vile, IN Barry county. An attempt
was made to raise the cannon with
dynamite. That attempt failed. The
water will be pumped from the hole
and a derrick will be used to raise the
cannon.
Judge Logan, of Aurora, who was in
charge of one of Gen. Stirling Prices
batteries, told Mr.. Heisler that he re-
Numbered the day the cannon was
captured He said he was one of the
men who threw it into the mud hole.
He said the captors of the cannon were
closely pursued and that one wheel of
the carriage was broken by striking
stone Rather than see the cannon fall
INTO the han0S OF It's owners InOSo WHO
had captured it threw it into the hole.
At the same time wagon load of pig
lead was thrown into the same hole.
Col. George w. Veale, WHO'S president
of the Kansas Soldiers Monumental
association, some years ago tried TO
find the cannon captured from him by
Gen. Prices men at the battle of the
Big Blue, but failed to learn what had
become of it. Now Judge Logan, OF
Aurora, Mo-, has come down and
identified that as the spot where the
cannon and about 1,S00 pounds of pig
lead was thrown in by men detailed
by him for the purpose, while on the
retreat.
After several days probing with iron
rods, the cannon was located in about
ten feet of mud and gravel. A Golfer
dam has been put down and w il.
Ryus of Joplin, Mo-, has engaged to
pump the water out of this Golfer dam,
with one of his patent rotary miracle
M. pumps, when a derrick will be
erected and the cannon raised. This
will be done Immediately after the
holidays, when the cannon will be
brought to Kansas City, Kan, where It
is hoped it will find a permanent rest
ing place.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 27.-Society folk
are much excited over the estrange-

Dalton, married two weeks ago The
Bowersock home, the most imposing in
Lawrence, it is said. did not entertain
Mrs. Dalton as a Christmas guest, and
it is said that none of her family Wis

up riches to be with the poor man she
loves.
Two weeks ago Miss Bowersock and
Mr.. Dalton met in Kansas City and
were married. Miss Bowersock knew
her parents objected to her fiance so
the marriage was secret. The day fol-
lowing the two returned to Lawrence.
Mrs. Dalton thought it would be easy
to win parental forgiveness. But to her
surprise her father sent word that she
and her young husband could shift for
themselves.
You wouldn't accept my advice on
matrimony, so you needn't ask it on
other things" Mr.. Bowersock is said
to have told his daughter as he turned
her away.

And so the past two. weeks the two
