AS THE GLOBE SEES 1T
Governor Stubs Made Good Impress
sion in Atchison Speech.

The Atchison Globe printed the fol-
lowing concerning the governor s
s och delivered there Thursday night:
eff this is the 'enemy's country to
Governor Stubs and other statesmen
inclined to insurgency, one would not
have guessed it from the crowd which
heard the governors speech at Turner
hall last night. Despite rain and
threatening weather, the people pack
ed the house SO full that almost half
the audience must have been standing
and thus uncomfortably crowded they
remained for the governors last word.
1T must be said for Governor
Stubs that he pleased his audience:
1t has been the business or pleasure of
the writer to hear lot of political
speakers, good and bad, the good ones
including Bryan, ingalls,, 1ngersoll, La
Toilette and Tfllman. Stubs is not a
polished orator as these men are and
were, but he holds his audience as
we'll or better. He speaks the Kansas
language, almost perhaps the verna-
cular of grading camps in which he
had much of his training. But he says
homely things to which people listen
and has a droll humor that is his own
without telling funny stories you have
heard before.
'The governors speech was a
straightout defense of his administra-
ton for the most part. He referred to
himself as the peoples hired man and
told them plainly and bluntly that if
they were not satisfied with the way
he did his work they should fire him.
He wanted no vote from any man who
does not consider him the best man
for the job. Although river towns are
supposed to be inclined to rebel against
the prohibitory law, Governor Stubs
led off by clearly defining his position
on that issue: demand for its strin-
gent enforcement. And this statement
met with an outburst of applause
which would indicate that the audi
ence. at least, is reconciled to a dry
town.
What chance has Wagstaff against
Stubs? The writer doesn't think so
much of Wagstaff's chances since hear
ing the governor speak"

RUNS INTO NEXT WEEK,
Testimony in BIeached Flour Case Not
Yet All In.

Kansas City, Mo, June 13.-It was
expected by all concerned in the bleach
ed flour case being tried in the United
States circuit court here, that the gov
eminent would have rested its side of
the case by the end of last week. How
ever with several more witnesses to
take the stand for the government, and
all of the testimony for the defense yet
to be offered, the chances favor several
DAYS more for trial. Comparatively lit
tie progress was made Saturday as it
was short day in court.
DIR. John Marshall, a professor of
chemistry in the University Of Penn
sylvania. testified that nitrites, such as
the government contends are found i'll
the bIeached product, are dangerous
when taken into the body. Nitrites said
tlfe physician, changed the hemiglobins
in the blood into met-herniglobins, thus
weakening it. Experiments he had made
on dogs proved this, the chemist said.
At the opening of DIR. MarshalPs cross
examination, this question was pro-
pounded by the defense:
Doctor, If all the nitrites in all the
bread man could eat in seven years
were concentrated and taken in doses
during a period extending over ten
hours, what would be the resut?"
1T would prove Injurious he answer
ed.
''Noticeably?"
Perhaps not
The witness was then asked if the
amount of nitrte a man would eat in
bread during Is years were admins
tered to him in one dose death would
result. 1t might, said the witness.
Did you ever hear of any one con-
tracing nitric poisoning from food or
drink?' was asked.
NO" DR.. Marshall replied.
Other witnesses were w R. N. Har-
ton and A. B. H. Morv of Kansas City;
William CRANBERRY of Junction City,
Kan: Frank Wester1nan of Chicago,
and Alexander Taggart of Indianapolis.

Even the Entertainments Come
in for Their Beautifying.
MAINTAIN GARDEN
Many Lines Employ Landscape
and Garden Experts.
Other Items OF General Interest
in Railroad World,

1t used to be thought that it was
scarcely worth while to ATTEMPT to
beaut1fy the grounds of railway sta
tions or the railway emban1ment itself.
The railway was regarded by esthetic
persons as necessary evil, the lament
able result of the demand for rapid
transportation, which desecrated the
scenery beyond hope of retrieval. and
made the lover of the unspoiled fields
and woodland grieve at the warlton de-
facement of the landscape 1t was not
thought profitable for the art of the
landscape gardener to apply itself to
the redemption of the cindered areas
BESIDE the rails and around the homely
ana sometimes dilapidated buildings
that sheltered intending passengers.
Inc example set by the Pennsylvania,
the Reading, the Boston & Albany and
ether railroads in their station gardens
and careful horticulture along the route
Eas proved contagious. The Canadian
racine for example, maintains 1000
gardens, and has just distributed 10000
packages of flower seeds among it's sta
t1on ma from one ocean to the 9TH
err. 1t is not sentiment that moves a
railway management to make the Wild
erness blossom as the rose; it is con-
sldered the best business policy to en-
nance the physical attractiveness of the
portion OF the scenery that is nearest
the car window. The view of a distant
mountain might otherwise be offset by
vista of ash heaps and rubbish, while
In place of flower beds there might ap-
pear ugly barren spaces. To spend
money in landscape gardening along the
hne OF the railway cannot be consider
ed a foolish extravaganza on the part
OF far-sighted railway management.

EVEN THIS LINE PRosPERs.
Joplin & Pittsburg Railway Is Spend
ing Money

Pittsburg, Kan, June 13.-It is not
generally known but the managers of
the Joplin & Pittsburg railway are
making vast improvements on the
lines leading into the city and in the
city limits.
Roadmaster Dick Ellis has had his
territory extended, and now has a
general supervision of the work on all
the lines. This keeps him busy as
may be imagined, and it is a safe
prophesy that when Santa Fe Dick"
gets through, the tracks will be in
first class condition and will ride much
better.
One improvement which he is now
overseeing is the relaying of a mile
and a half of the track east of West
Mineral with sixty pound steel, and
placing new ties where they are
needed.
Another has been the receipts of
ten and a half cars of thirty foot rails
and many cars of new ties, which will
be used in relaying the track of the
line from the Eleventh street crossing
of the Missouri Pacific to Frontenac.
The track will also be reballasted. This
has been very much needed as the
line was the first one built, being con-
structed by Jack Armil in 1895. and
has become very rough. A report has
been circulated that the line will be

1.-THE whole machinery of an impor-

for months in an effort to injure and

CLAY CENTER DROPS FUNDS
PROMOTERS Secure Money for New
Line Through State.

Clay Center, Kan, June ia
meeting was held in the court room of
the court house Tuesday evening to
consider the proposed new railroad
from Beatrice, Neb., to Wichita, about
fifty citizens, mostly of Clay Center,
attending the meeting. r. Iams and
Charles Swenson of this city did most
of the explaining of the proposition.
After a general discussion of the mat
ter and an explanation on the part of
Mr.. Herman of the Western Engineer
ing & Construction company of Nc
Pherson, it was decided that Mr..
Swenson should call another meeting
later on at which it is hoped there
may be larger number present. Clay
Center agreed to take its share of the
5000 to do the preliminary work, after
which If it is thought that money can
be raised to put in the road, plans will
be taken up to raise all that it may
be necessary for this county to put in.
The meeting developed considerable
enthusiasm Tuesday evening, this
proposition seeming to be better than
any of the others which have been
presented.

CONWAY SPRINGS WANTS ROAD.
New Route Planned for Line Connect
ing Arkansas City and Hutchinson.

Wellington, Kan, June 13.-That
the Conway Springs Commercial club
is after the proposed interurban road
which will connect Arkansas City to
Hutchinson via Wellington, Conway
Springs is an assured fact and there
is very little doubt but that the road
will be built.
Roy Hitchcock, secretary of the
Wellington Commercial club, received
a letter this morning from Mr.. B.
Strong, chairman of the transportation
committee of the Conway Springs
Commercial club sighting some of the
facts why the road was desired.
At the present time Wellington has
no direct connection with either Con-
way Springs or Arkansas City. Other
towns in the proposed way of the road
are in the same boat relative to their
neigh boring towns. This interurban
if built will get the towns into closer
union and it will promote the better
ment of the country through which 1t
runs.
The letter from Mr.. Strong urged
that the Wellington club take some
interest in the matter and call meet
ing and talk the matter over. All 9TH
er town clubs will be asked to do the
same and get the proposition on its
feet as soon as possible.

Cunningham Affidavits.
The brief deals at great length with
the evidence before the committee rel
ative to the Cunningham claims in de-
feEse of Mr.. BalInger's connection with
them as a government official. Then
lis conduct while out of Office is dis
cussed, particularly his preparation and
presentation of the Cunningham aff.da-
Wit to interior department officials in
September, 1903. In answer to critic
isTas of Mr.. Ballinger's conduct in this
matter, Mr.. Vertrees says:
First of all, as has already been
shown there was no information of a
secret character in the land office which
Mr.. Ballinger could have used. The re-
ports on file are favorable to the claims.
The affiVidavits ON file were we'll known
to the atlantis themselves. The only
evidence that had been procured not
contained in the reports or the afffda-
Wits of the atlantis was a copy of the
Cunningham journal. the original of
which Cunningham himself had. This
journal was not obtained or filed until
after Mr.. Balinger had retired from
the office of commissioner. Moreover,
his services were performed six months
after he had left the Office and were
secondary, if it be assumed that Mr..
Ballinger in a matter in which he had
interest had CHANGED to retain in
memory a recollection of the status of
these claims and the records with re-
spect thereto. The fact is that there
was nothing for him to remember or
recall. It was not possible for him,
therefore, to have used information OBJ
tanned by him as commissioner. The
objection that the performance of a
service of this character was forbidden
by law is equally unfounded."
Mr.. Vertrees cites rules and regula-
tons of the department as well as de-
Cisions of the department, the attorney
general and the supreme court, which
he says supports Mr.. Ballnger's view
that there is not legal departmental in
libition against the practicing before
the department by former enploye in
land cases within two years after his
separation from the service. The inhi-
bition applies, he says, only in cases
involving money claims.

UNWILLING AERONAUT,
Makes an Ascent of 5000 Feet Hold

Lincoln, Neb., June 13.-Clyde
Heckle, an 1S-year-old Lincoln boy,
made a terrifying -6,0OO-feet balloon
ascension Sunday evening" clinging for
a part of the time to the clutch rope
of the air craft. He landed half an
hour from the start in the middle of
a shallow lake at a summer resort
near the city.

was holding the ropes. The boy had
asked to be allowed to make the as
cent, but was refused. Just as the
aeronaut, seated in his parachute at
tachment, called to his assistants to
let go, Heckle, with a knife, severed
the two ropes holding the aeronaut
and as the air bag Ieaped up he
grasped the clutch rope of the bal
loon proper Weiberg, with his para
cute, was left on the ground.
For possibly a thousand feet Heckse
went up almost like a rocket, eIinging
only with his hands. Then he man
aged to swing himself astride the
clutch rope and after an ascent of over
mile came down without mishap.
