might enroll in the new department
of home economies at the University
of Kansas. Miss Mabel Edith Ransom
of Perry, Ok. rode horseback three
hundred and fifty miles to Lawrence.
Miss Ransom arrived here last Thurs
day, after spending a week on the
road. The young woman revealed the
fact of her purpose and remarkable
ride when she enrolled at the regis
trar's office.
Miss Ransom was given the yard
long application blank to fill out and
early encountered a difficult question
to answer. She approached the reg
istrar and inquired: What county is
this, please. You see I haven't been in
Lawrence but a short while. 1 rode
my saddle pony up from Oklahoma
and 1 am not familiar with this part
of the country"
Miss Ransom does not regard her
overland trip of several hundred miles
on horseback as anything out of the
ordinary.

course in cooking. housekeeping and
such subjects" she said, land as I
couldn't bear the thought of leaving
my saddle pony at home, I just de-
cided to bring him along with me.

injured if he made the journey by rail.

I've ridden horses ever since I was old

bridge.
1t is alleged in the petitions that
the wholesalers pretend to be doing
an interstate business, but that this is
subterfuge and that they are simply
selling liquor from another state. 1t
is alleged that they have wagons and
horses and in some instances offices
on the Kansas side and that liquor is
sold from the wagons. The petitions
ask that a restraining injunction be
granted and that an attorney fee of
$4,000 be granted in each case.
G. E. Dill announced that he would
hear the case for injunctions when
both sides are represented at some
date next week. The wholesale liquor
dealers say that the points raised in
the suits today are identical with the
one decided by Judge Pollock in Kan
sas City. In the meantime it is prob
able that all the horses and wagons
will be quartered in Missouri from
now on.

CLYDE TRIES SUGAR BEETs.
Carload Will Be Sent to Garden City
to Be Tested

Clyde, Kan, Sept. 30.-Not in years
has there been as good an all round
crop as there is this year around Clyde,
the home Of the watermelon and can
taloupe. There has been about 100 car
loads of melons shipped out the past
year, besides dozens of carloads of al
falfa and apples. Twenty farmers
planted about half acre each of sugar
beets this year and they made a mar
velous growth. One sugar beet brought
in by Joe Shaw weighed eight pounds.
The farmers will ship a carload to Gar
den City to have them tested. If they
come up to the test Clyde will have
a sugar beet factory in the near fu-
ture.
Chas. F. Armstrong has added a fine
addition to Clyde during the past year
and last Saturday 35 of these fine lots
were put at auction sale, 81 of them
were sold for $4,000 and the men who
bought these lots expect to build on
them. The sale of the lots was man
aged by the Clyde Land company.
The Catholic convent has been open
ed this fall and there are about 100
children enrolled already.

FRUIT TREES ON STREETS.
Hutchinson Man Would Adopt a Chi
cagoan'S Suggestion.

cagoan's Suggestion.
Hutchinson, kan. Sept. 3o-A Chi
cago alderman, John R. Emerson, re-
Gently made a suggestion that is
spreading throughout the towns of
central Kansas. Fruit for the TAX
see the streets of Hutchinson and other
cities of the prairie state lined with
all the popular varieties of fruit trees.
Charles z. Hall, one of Hutchinson's
business men, leads the movement to
plant fruit trees along the parkings of
all the streets of this city. If the sug-
questions of Mr.. Hall are carried out
the visitor in town would need Only
to reach out and help himself to the
choicest apples, pears and peaches.
The town people going to and from
work would MUNICH choice fruits picked
from the trees on the streets, and the
children would revel in the abundance
of this luxury. And to break the mo-
notony of apple, peach and pear trees
there would be trees laden with wal
nuts, pecans, hickory nuts and chest
nuts, all free to the public.
''Why not plant trees bearing fruits
and nuts along the city streets as well
as those V. hich bear only the cotton of
cottonwoods, and the beans of catal-
pas?'' suggested Mr. Hall There is
no finer Shade tree in the world than
a Grimes Golden apple tree. And you
will find no handsomer trees, SO far as
appearance is concerned, and no bet
ter trees for shade than fruit and nut
trees"
Mr.. Hall has carried out his plan at
the Country club, near this city, where
he is chairman of the ground commit
tee. He set out 200 trees. alternating
with fruit and forest trees. He argues
that the city should require by ordi-
nance the planting of fruit and nut
trees along the parking of every street
and charge it up to the property own
ers. All the popular fruits flourish
here and walnuts, pecan and other nut
bearing trees do well in this soil and
climate.

PAINTING SELLS
 FOR RECORD PRICE

New York, March 1S.-Half million dollars. record price for a painting, was paic today for the celebrated portrait of Franz Hals, the Dutch painter. and his family, painted by himself. The pur- chaser was Otto Kahn, the banker, who secured the portrait from Duven Bros. J. P. Morgan bid between $350,000 and $400,- coo for the picture.
 The painting will be on exhibition at the Metropolitan museum in this city commencing tomorrow, and MT Kahn has expressed a willingness to lend it for ex- hibition to the public art galleries throughout the country
 Efforts were made to keep the painting in England, but they failed, and it is one of the first really great European master pieces to be brought to this country duty free under the tariff provisions.
 The painting comes from the collection of Colonel Warde of Westerham, where 1t had been held since 1759. unknown to the general public, which had no opportunity to view it until it was exhibited at the Royal Art gallery few years ago.
 As the painting Is portrait of the painter and his family, it possesses a doc umentary and historic, as well as an aes- thetic, interest. It shows five full-length figures, and is 79x112 inches in dimen- sion.
 Franz Hals was born about 1580 at Ant werp and died at Haarlem in 1866. For vigor of expression, directness of vision and fearless handling, he has always been regarded both as one of the worlds great est portrait painters and technicians.

MAY COTTON DEAL
 IN L|MELIGHT
Liverpool Will Try to Break
 Up Bull Combination
BULLS ARE CONFIDENT
British Manufacturers Are Said to Have Short Supply of Cotton and With Promise of Small Crop the
 Prices May Go Up

New York, March 1S.-The deal in the May cotton option is the thing on which all eyes are focused. Liverpool it is said will try to fight it by sending cotton from England to New York. Some rumors are to the effect that anywhere from 5000 to 60,0O0 bales will be sent hither from England, even though the shipments should involve, as it would now, a loss of from S3 to s4 q bale. Bulls assert that this is a mere bluff, and that if any at all is sent to New York it will be a rela- lively small quantity merely as a sort of play to the gallery.
 Prominent bulls have been heavy buyers of May and July, especially of May, and largo spot interests within a few days also are credited with purchasing May on a very large scale. Bulls think they hold three strong cards: First, signs of an awakening of trade in England; sec- ond, the drouth in Texas, and third, what they regard as the strong statistical sit uation. Also the New York stock is rapidly decreasing.
 The reported sales here of cotton to be sent abroad, or, in other words, the ship nents from New York 10 Liverpool Of cotton owned by prominent people, have amounted to 36, 900 bales. There is said to be some loss in such shipments, but the bulls stick to 1t with the evident idea of promoting their plan of squeezing the May option. There is said to be a large short interest in that month. Meantime, the spot and "call' business at Liver  pool has suddenly jumped to 15.OO0 and 1S,000 bales a day. Spot markets are gen erally reported firm at the south. Liver pools stock of American cotton of late has been half million bales smaller than at the same time last year.
 It is supposed that large Chicago operator who was recently mobbed on the Manchester exchange, is still long of by his experience abroad. American mills still hold aloof from the market The public is taking little or no part in the speculation. Very many of the traders here are bearish in their convictions. Prices are about 5 cents higher than they were a year ago. and they think that this fact discounts anything at all bullish in the situation.
 Liverpool, Manchester, Texas weather, and the moves of big operators-the so- called "big four'-will be watched care- fully from now on for some clew as to the future course of the market, about which some very experienced people here profess themselves now to be completely at sea- though some others are confident that before the end of the season sup plies will be down to so low an ebb that higher prices will inevitably result

 ON PROHIBITION

Chicago, March 1S.-The campaign for the voting on April on the proposition to make Chicago prohibition territory was enlivened today when the vets filed with the election commissioners charges that the petition calling for the appearance of the question on the ballot contained al- most 50 per cent of illegal or fictitious signatures.
 The petition asking that the question Shall this city become anti-saloon ter- ritory?" be put on the ballot was filed by the "drys." Of the 74000 names on it, according to the charges, more than B 900 are unregistered voters, and the pe- tition lacks 25,O00 names of having enough to have the proposition on the ballot. The charges were denied by the .'drys,' and 1t was stated by them that there would not be time to disprove the validity of the petition before election, and the proposition would have to appear for voting.
