People Say Pittsburg Is
Honeycombed With Joints

Pittsburg. Kan, Aug. 15.-Temper-
ance people of Pittsburg and Craw-
ford county are preparing evidence to
lay before Governor Stubs and Attor-
ney General Jackson to prove that this
southern Kansas town and county are
honeycombed with liquor joints and
low resorts
The charge is made by Doctor j. r.
CalIen of Pittsburg that more than 100
standpat Republican voters of the
mining town of Chicopee literally
stood pat and refused to cast vote
until ten barrels of beer were furnish
ed by the Republican candidates.
Doctor Callen says it is not yet de-
termined who put up the money for
the beer, but that it is understood that
the Republican candidates Clipped in
and paid for the liquor. For two
hours, he says, the clerks at the poll
ing place were so busy that they could
not receive and record the votes of the
standpatters fast enough.
The temperance people declare that
there is a Jungle" or "Coney Island"

Westinghouse district of Pittsburg that
would put to shame the most disrepu-
table places known to the larger cities.

lers and disreputable men and women

INDUCED BY WIFE.
John Wilson, a Former Kansan,
Was Angry at Fortune.
Made Furious Showing When
Identity Became Known.
HIM
Admission Made on What Then
Seemed His Death Bed.
Other Items of General Interest
to State Readers.

Tecunseh Neb, Aug. 15.-It was the
work of his wife that brought John
Wilson, the former Belleville, Kan,
man. the estate of his father, Scotch
John" Wilson. Down in her home in
Houston, Tex, she read in 1907 that the
supreme court Of Nebraska had sus-
tanned the will of the late Scotch
John Wilson, leaving his $4,000 estate
to mis- son, John, If the son returned
and claimed it before July %, 1910.
AS a matter of fact, the Texas wo-
man always had known her husband as
Alonzo Wilson, but he had related to
her that his father had driven him
away from home and told him he
never wanted to see his face again. The
story from Nebraska correspondent with
what "AlonZo'' Wilson had many times
told his wife. So she read the article
to him. He turned as white as a sheet,
but denied he was the missing son and
said, I'm Alonzo Wilson, not John Will
SON"
a surmise that "Alonzo'' Wilson was
the John Wilson for whom there was
a fortune in Nebraska 1t is related
that this made the alleged Alonzo Will
son furious and he cursed and swore
and denied he was John Wilson.
But the determined Texas woman
never give up entirely and gathered all
the evidence she could, still strongly
suspecting that her husband was John
Wilson. Finally in the first part of
this year he admitted he was John
Wilson, but said he would never return
to Nebraska to accept his father
money.
Then in May a critical illness seized
him and his life was despaired of. Then
he called his wife and daughter to his
bedside and entrated, pray for me,
bedside and entreated, PRAY for me,
to Nebraska and prove to them that
I'm John Wilson, Kindly ministra-
lions of his wife and daughter were
effectual and as soon as John Wilson
was strong enough he and his wife,
daughter and grandson started for Ne
braska in June and have been here
ever since. He has proven to the sat
isfaction Of everybody that he is John
Wilson.
Thirty years ago this summer, when
the Wilson's were living on their farm,
a circus was billed to appear in Te-
cumseh. The morning Of its arrival
young John expressed a desire to go.
His father tried to persuade him to
not be persuaded and hot words follow
ed. The young man insisted that he
was going to the show and started
out of the house. As he closed the door,
the father called him back and remark
ed:
John: if you go to the circus. you
need never come back
"Well, father, I'm going" remarked
the young man, as he closed the door
behind him.
To the circus he went but when
night came, he did not return. He
did not return the next day. nor the
next night In fact John Wilson did
not return until he was a man past
middle age and until his hair was
streaked with gray.

PIONEER OF TREE STATES.
Man Who Helped Settle Missouri and
Kansas Icing to Texas.


Kansas Icing to Texas.
Leavenworth, Kan, Aug ia pio-
neer of three states Is a record few
men have made. John Linville, far
mer of the Lowemont neighborhood in
Leavenworth county soon will have to
his credit this unique record, for he
has just sold his pioneer Kansas farm
home for $4,000 and will undertake
soon the work of making a new home
in the Panhandle of Texas, distant five
miles from his nearest neighbor.
John Linvil1e was a pioneer in his
boyhood life in the Platte Purchase
over in Platte county, Missouri. Later
his father moved to jackson county,
Missouri, when Kansas City was
known as Westport Landing. There,
as in the Platte Purchase, neighbors
were few and far between. In 1856
they moved to Leavenworth county
where during all these years, John
Linvil1e has lived on the pioneer farm
homesteaded by his father.
John Linville was one of the early
freighters of this section. He spent
two years on the plains. In 1862 he
hauled government supplies from Fort
Leavenworth to Fort Union in New
Mexico, and in 1864 he accompanied
his uncle with wagon train of twenty
five wagons loaded with corn to Fort
Laramie. This train was loaded from
the fields of corn grown on what is
known as Round Prairie in Leaven-
worth county.

FTREsrEN TRAINED IN SCHOOL.
Iehigh Valley Must Pass Series or Ex'
aminations for Engineer.

New York. Aug. ia school to
teach firemen how to perform their
part of railroad operation with the
maximum efficiency has been estab-
lished by the Lehigh Valley railroad
The men must stand a series of ex-
aminations before they can be pro-
NOTED to be locomotive engineers.
One thing they learn is how to avoid
waste of fuel. Every unit of heat that
goes out through the smokestack or
down into the ashpan, instead of go
ing to turn water into steam, Is money
thrown away The increase in the
cost of fuel in the last few years has
rendered more urgent than ever the
necessity of getting out of coal all the
energy there is in it. When a man Is
employed as fireman, he receives list
of questions upon which he will be
examined at the end of his first year
of service Later he will receive, an
other series for mastery in his second
wear. and finally a third series for his
third year copy of a book on fuel
and steam economy is put into the
hands of every fireman when he enters
the service of the company.
