New York, Feb. 5.-Thanks again
to the wireless and the international
distress signal IS. o S. Captain
Moore and his crew of forty-six men
are safe on board the Mallory liner
Alamo, bound for Key West, while
their vessel, the steamer Kentucky, is
at the bottom of the sea off Cape Hat
teras. 1t is another case of a disaster
averted by wireless and told to the
world by the same medium. The
Kentucky, a wooden vessel of 996
gross tonnage and 200 feet long was
bound from New York to the Pacific
to carry passengers between Tacoma
and Alaska ports for the Alaska-Pa-
cific Steamship company. First news
of the Kentucky's distress was re-
ceived at the United Wireless COM
pany's station at Cape Hatteras at
1880 o'clock Yesterday morning. There
quickly followed by this message:
1--WE are sinking. Our latitude is
32:1O, longitude $780,"
Almost simultaneously the operator
heard the steamship Alamo respond to
the Kentucky's call for help, informing
Captain Moore that the Alamo was
making all speed to the sinking YES
sells assistance. Thereafter no mes
sage was received from the Kentucky,
indicating that water had interfered
with the power, putting nST WITCHES
apparatus out of commission.
The navy department at Washington
in the meantime flashed wireless mes
sages along he Atlantic coast, dis
patching the battleshir Louisiana and
two revenue cutters to the scene, but
at 5 o'clock last evening word came
from the Alamo that she had arrived
first and had taken off all hands in
safety. This is the message as re-
ceived in New York by the United
wireless company from its station:
Latitude 32:46, longitude 1928.
Steamship Alamo has just taken Cap
tain Moore and crew of As men from
sinking steamship Kentucky. Water
had already reached fire room and
steamer will sink before midnight. The
Alamo is now proceeding to Key West .

E. c. Flood.
Victor Swanson, the complaining
witness, narrated the circumstances
when he bought some electrical sup
plies from Mr. Hall. That on the 25th
day of August last year he went with
Hall to his residence to get a few of
the articles not delivered. Nothing
unusual in the demeanor of either
after they had gotten to Swanson's
shop and he had handed Hall the tools

Swanson, you owe me $25" For

MESSIAH EARLY THIS YEAR.
Lindsborg's Event Will Be Held Lat
ter Part of March.

Salina, Kan, Feb. 5.-Jens Stensaas,
one of the two Norwegians connected
with Bethany college at Lindsborg and
treasurer of the Lindsborg Messiah,
was in this city on his way east, where
he will close the contracts for the
following soloists to sing at the COM
ing rendition of the Messiah:
Madam Langendorf, contralto, with
the Metropolitan Opera company of
New York.
Madam Lime, soprano, of Chicago.
Garnett Hedge, tenor, Chicago.
H. e. Malloy, baritone, Lindsborg.
I'VE believe that these soloists,' -
said Mr.. Stensaas, "are the very best
we can get without going into the class
of the Schumann Heinks and the Sem
brichs. They are artists of the very
highest class. and most of them have
sung the Messiah before with various
high class musical organizations. H.
E. Malloy of Lindsborg is the only
local man employed as a soloist Mr..
Malloy has just returned from a long
stay in Europe, where he has been
studying music, and he will hold up his
end of. the work all right.
I'VE decided this year to omit the
lectures about the Messiah which have
been given and devote especial atten-
ton to the securing of high class solo
lists.
1.-THE Messiah will take place the
week of March 2O-27, and we are now
trying to get special rates on the rail-
roads. but I don't know whether we
can do that or not"

ing the months when the fate of this
enterprise was held in the court bal
ances. Atchison people remained stead
fast in their support of it and firm in
their confidence of its officers. The
courts decided in favor of the Uncle
Sam company and Atchison believed
that it wao also in favor of her pro-
gress.
The action today shows how long
that loyalty was appreciated. Thomas
Beattie and Ed Barry have been given
the contract to tear down, move %
Kansas City and again rebuild the re-
finery of the Uncle Sam Oil company.
The employees of the refinery have been
laid off and no more crude oil will be
shipped to this city. To appease the
local feeling in regard to the removal
of the refinery, the officers have decided
to leave the paraffin plant here and in
stead of crude oil, wax distillate will be
shipped here.

BALL AND CHAIN FOR BOYS.
Violated Anti-SmoI1ing Ordinance
Refuse to Paw Fine.

Clay Center. Kan. Feb. 5.-This city
was treated to a sight today that it
rever witnessed before when two boys
who pleaded guilty to violating the
smoking ordinance, absolutely refusing
to pay their fines, although they had
the money in their pockets or in po-
sition to get it. and daring the Off
GERS to force them to work on the
streets, were PIT on the ball and chain.
They were placed in harge of the
street commissioner, but as they re-
fused to follow his orders and he hadn't
time to guard them. they We're fixed
so that they couldn't run away. The
officials had no desire to be hard on
the boys, merely wanting them to help
keep the, crossings clean.
Public sentiment is divided on the
matter On the face of it the people
DISLIKE the sight and the idea, but
those who are acquainted with the
inside story seem to think the boys
are getting just what they deserve.
1t looks hard. but the boys could obey
the laws pretty easy if they only
wanted to.
The boys are Perry Mailen and Jesse
Trip.
