as a result of a discovery made on the
farm of D. A. Askew, near Macksville.
Mr.. Askew, while picking out a
place for a well on his farm put down
six different holes, ranging from five
to fourteen feet deep, with an auger.
In each hole. he reports, the water
rose to within two feet of the surface
and has remained at that stage.
There has been no rain for many
weeks, the ground is dry. and Mr..
Askew believes the water comes from

) SWINE WANTED BY PACKERS.
Wichita Can Not Get Enough Hogs to
Keep Plants in Oneration.

wichita, Kan, Dec. 26.-The wich-
TIA packing houses are short on hogs.
Iney have been short since the first Of
TINS year and the total deficit in re-
celpts for 1910 will be enormous. Yet
the same condition prevails at all 9TH
er markets and Wichita is getting her
snare or the nations crop of porkers.
Inc shortage is due entirely to the
farmers, who have been laying off for
the past two years.
To be exact the Wichita Union Stock
yards We're short just 174,940 head of
hogs December 1. That is the total
celpts of hogs for the first eleven
months of this year were that much
snort or the number received for the
same period of 1909. To December 1
the total hog receipts were s,405.
For the first eleven months Of the pre-
v1ous year they were 6S3,345.
It is this heavy shortage in the hog
supply that has caused the high cost
of pork products to the consumers.
Other markets show much greater de-
hcits than Wichita. In fact the seven
largest live stock centers of the west
report shortage of about three mil
lion hogs for the year.
In cattle the Wichita market shows
healthy increase of receipts. The
total supply up to December 1 was
193,5S4. For the same period of last
year the total run was 168,706. The
increase of the eleven months is
24,S7S.

CoNKIIN Is ION THE SPOT"
Famous Missouri Railway Attorney
Waits for Legislature.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 26.-Newlan
ConlSlin is the only railroad representa-
tive who has taken rooms here for the
winter. It will remembered that, two
years ago, he was here and devoted
more time to railroad matters than all
the others put together.
AT that time it was understood that
he represented only the Santa Fe, and
before committees he always spoke of
the Santa Fe as my railroad" where
it was stated that he made the prin-
cipal and most effective arguments for
the companies and did more than any
one else to prevent hostile legislation.
While Col. Seibert and Phelps issued
transportation, Conklin did the real
work After adjournment, when the
reports of the expenditures by corpora
lions were filed with the secretary of
state, it was found that he represented
nearly all of the roads and was paid by
the Santa FEE 81, 435. 80, by the Frisco
$717.70. by the Rock Island $717.70 by
the Burlington $2,201.20 and by the
Kansas City Southern $765.40, making
in the aggregate the snug little sum of
| S., $3.50.
It is now understood that he will rep
resent all of the railroads, with the
possible exception of the Missouri Pa
cific, during the coming session, not
only before committees. but in issuing
transportation, and 1t will be a source
of satisfaction to the men who spend
their winter here to know that they
will get the ''needful" to go and come
from ST. Louis, Kansas City and other
| points.
A number of Mr.. Conklin's friends
| here feel that he should refuse to rep
| resent the roads. after the manner in
which they gave him away two years
ago by filing a statement showing the
money they had paid him; but, OF
course, everybody knows that the at
torney general bulldozed the railroad
companies into doing this. Conklin
| stood on his dignity and refused frs
| to register as a corporation agent, and
| later to file a statement of his ex-
penditures, and it really strengthened
! him and should make him very indie
pendent

SALINAS PINK EYE EPIDEMIC.
At Least 125 Cases of Malady Are
Renorted nv PHYSICIANS.

Salina, Kan, Dec. 26.-In Salina
there is now an epidemic of pink eye.
According to a number of physicians
there are at least 125 cases in the
city And it's a contagious disease,
too, so if you don't want to have real
pink eyes for week or ten days,
YOU'D better keep away from all those
who are now suffering with the dis
ease. However, the disease is by no
means what might be called a serious
disease, but it's not very pleasant to
have.
Children between the ages of a few
days to 1 5 years old are subject to it
more than anyone else. Yet grown
persons are also apt to catch it. The
largest per cent of children who con-
tract the disease is between the ages
of s years to 10. At least 100 school
children in Salina now have pink eye
and there are probably rs grown per-
sons suffering with it.

Head of Western VIII Cross Bridges
When He Comes to Them.


Denver, Dec. 26.-President ONeiII
of the Western league stopped in the
city en- route to his home in Oakland,
where he will spend the holidays.
According to O'NeilI the Western is
due for more prosperous season next
year than it enjoyed last year. Every
city in the circuit is showing more in
terest in the clubs than was manifest
ed at this time a year ago, and the
cities in the circuit that fell down to
certain extent last season are planning
big things for 1911. In Topeka, the
one weak spot in the circuit last sea-
son, the citizens who have taken the
club over are planning to strengthen
in every way possible and have assur-
ed O'Neill that with team capable of
keeping in the first division the club
can be made to prosper.
Any change in the circuit depends
entirely upon the action of the Kansas
legislature, which meets next month.
There has been much talk of prohibit
ing Sunday baseball in Kansas, and If
the lid is clamped down it is possible
that the Wichita and Topeka franchises
may be transferred to territory that
permits Sunday ball
There is no need of agitating the

BARRY LEAVING WISCONSIN.
Popular Coach May Lead Denver Uni
versity Squad Next Year.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 26.-Tom Bar
nv, popular University of Wisconsin
football coach, will not be reappointed
for the coming gridiron season This
announcement was made today by
Professor George W. Ehler. director
of physical training at the university.
Professor Ehler says that the policy
of the university is to have only such
men as coaches as are able to give
their whole time primarily to the uni
versity for the entire college year and
to have such men give some or their
time to teaching in addition to coach
ing varsity teams. Barry fails to meet
these qualifications which are approx
ed of by President Van Hise, the fac
uIty, and the board of regents.
Walter Camp and other eastern au-
thorities will be consulted by Profess
sor Ehler before new coach IS Sc
lected.
Barry is uncertain as to his future.
It has been known for some time that
he was considering an ofTer from the
University of Denver to succeed John
KoefIer. who will not return next year.
He has other offers to coach football
teams in various parts of the country,
but it is not unlikely that he will ac-
cept the Denver proposition. Barry is
a graduate of Brown university OF '03,
and was an A11-American halfback
for years. He is regarded as one OF the
best football mentors in the country,
and news of his retirement is almost
certain to precipitate row here.
Barry is little fellow, weighing not
mora than $50 pounds. but he is all
grit and knows the football game thor
oughly. He has been extremely sue
cessfuI here, and only the faculty rule
recurring a man the year around pre-
vents him from staying with Wiscon-
sin indefinitely.
