LONG JAUNT IN AUTO
Frank Ellis of GreenvilIe, N. Y,
Drives a Ford Car. Is Travel
ing From Kansas to
New York
From the wichita Eagle, December aoth.

From the Wichita Eagle, December 3Oth.
Frank Ellis, an auto liveryman of
Greenville, N. Y, passed through
Wichita enroute to Meade, Kansas,
for a visit with his father, who is a
wealthy ranchman in Meade county.
Mr.. Ellis was accompanied by Sam
Turner, who lives at Fowler, Kansas,
but who was in New York spending
the summer
The trip from New York to Meade,
despite the bad roads, is being made
in an automobile, which is Of the Ford
make known as the "model" touring
car. They report bad roads over the
ntire distance, and great deal Of
Nfhe way as much as ten inches ofsnow.
The only portion of the road not
snow covered was between Newton
and Wichita.
Mr.. Ellis said: We did not see
many cars on the road at any point
outside the limits of the cities, and
most Of those we saw were light
weight cars. Several heavier weight
cars were in the road mired to the
axle. One OF these was so complete
ly stuck that it was left over night
and was frozen in the ground"
The day before yesterday the drive
was made to this city from SO miles
this side Of Kansas City-a distance
OF 21o miles for the day through the
mud. The men seemed to be enjoy
ing their trip immensely, and Mr.. Ell
lis, notwithstanding the fact that he
is shy one arm, did not complain in
the least Of the fatigue from his long
jaunt. Three of the tires on the car
had been driven 10000 miles.
He expects to return to New York
in February, when he will resume
charge Of his livery business. He ex-
poets to put in an additional number
OF cars in the spring for livery, all of
which, except 24-paSsenger car, will
be Fords.
A photograph Of the muddy outfit
was taken by the local Ford repre-
sentativeS as they were leaving the
garage. When asked about repair
bills, Nj. Jones said: "No, we did not
ge.5 cent out of them for repairs.
The car was in first-class condition,
and judging from the hum of the mo-
tor will not need repairs in a thous-
and years.

c. A. Blackmore of this city
was elected as one of the board of
trustees of the State Horticultural
Society, at its state session in To-
peka last week. He represents the
Seventh Congressional district of
the state. Mr.. Blackmore read a
very interesting paper on horticul-
ture at the meeting, treating of the
adaptability of Kansas, and espe-
cially Southwestern Kansas, to, fruit
and tree culture. The paper will
probably appear in many of the
horticultural and agricultural pa
pers of the West. There is no bet
ter posted man on the fruit industry
in the state than Mr.. Blackmore.

Stole a Can of Beef

Two brothers who give their
names as w. H. and ]. H. Young
aged 20 and 18 years, were arrested
yesterday at noon on complaint of
]. N. Davis. The young men went
into Davis's store and bought a
can of dried beef and when they
thought Mr.. Davis wasn't looking,
slipped out another can. Their
actions, all the time they were in
the store, aroused Mr.. Davis's sus-
picion and he was almost certain
he saw one of them take the beef,
and at once notified Sheriff Math-
ews and City Marshal Stevens
who arrested and searched them.
They found the beef but nothing
else and the boys confessed, after a
little parleying. They say their
home is Cleveland, Oklahoma.
They had about So between them
and tickets as far as Enid. They
claim to be returning from visit
at Lake City.
The officers had taken no action
up to the time the paper was print
ed and the boys were in Jail await
ing developments.

No words can depict the unparalleled demonstration of welcome home of q private American citizen as that aecor. ded 10 Theodore Roosevelt, last Satur- day morning. at New York city, after an absence of a year. Twenty thous. and men were organized to give hun welcome, and half million of people were gathered on every spot where there presence could give iustre to The brilliant pageant that manifested na- tion's greeting to one whem t tejeleed to honor.
 The large daily papers not only of New York but of ali large cities, were filled to replesion with accounts Of the magnificent display that gave Theodore Roosevelt welcome, each illustrated with his portrait in every incident that marked his triumphant entrance into the great metropolis founded by his forefathers.
 The day was perfect in its clear sun. shine and moderate temperate, and not an incident occurred te mar the well arranged and grand display, that was carried through as perfectly as a moving panorama.
 Not until the parade ended and the crowd was well on the way home was there an interruption to the analloyed joy. Then followed as salute of artil- lery, roll of thunder and lightning and heavy downpour Of rain. Mir. Roosevelt got to hisi destination as the storm broke.
 It was nearly II o'clock when Colo mel Roosevelt stepped ashore and as cended the reception stand, which was densely surrounded by multitude of people. Mayor Gaynor made the ad- dress of welcome.

Back to the Farm.

The New York Independent of last
 week contains an article from Cover
 nor Hadley, of Missouri, describing
 the plans of the 'sNational Farm Homes
 Association ,n of which he is its Presi-
 dent. which is based on the same prin-
 ciple as that of the scheme of President
 Brown of the New York Central Rail-
 road, which, in sentence. is to popu-
 late the waste farms of the western part
 of New York State with an indigent
 but worthy class of people, placing them
 on farms, with the assistance of sym
 dicate, with everything required to be- gin their work on the most approved
 methods of farming. This is more fni-
 ly described in an article we recent ly printed, entitled "How to Advance Agricultural and Industrial Interests. /" In that article we say that the prin- ciple on which President Browns idea is based is similar to that of plan de- scribed in article printed in the PA- TRIor a few weeks previously. But this plan of Governor Hadley is so ex- actly like that our article described, that we cannot forbear giving it's out lines in another article in the same issue.
 Governor Hadley says there are ire sources of food production in the Soufh- west and the West, and even in some parts of the East, as lavish as. the seven years stores of Pharaoh and Joseph" !" to show that seven times the present quantity of food products can be raised yearly by systematic organizing of all existing forces and latent resources. The experts of our National Agrienl- tural Department and our agricultural colleges say that if the farmers of the entire country would do their work scientifically, the increase would be at least 50 per cent. In Missouri there are ls-nn, 900 scres Of good.iand that the plow has never touched. In that State, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, and other States, stiti0 an acre and less-

Superior Court.

Anthony Blum of Boston, at one time president of the Twentieth Gen. tury Gold Mining company, Ltd, corporation with properties in the Rainy River district of Ontario, was taken suddenly and seriously ill in the superior court here in Putnam a few weeks ago while civil suit brought against him by Rev. Arthur Debruyek- CT of Willimantic, was being heard, the suit growing out of the sale of stock Of the mining company mentioned to the clergyman, who alleges the standing of the company was falsely represented 10 him. NIT. Blum has been served with papers in another civil action, the amount to be recovered being men, toned in the writ as sl5,000.
 Mir. Blum has been ill at the Putnam Inn since he suffered the sudden col lapse in the court room.
 Horace w. Oicott of New York, as administrator of the estate of Horatio L. Olcott, is the complainant in the newer suit. The writ is returnable in the superior court for Windham coun- ty on the first Tuesday in September next. H. H. Hunter of Willimantic Is attorney for Mir. Olcott.
 The suit grows out of stock dealings by which, MT. Olcott, deceased, came into possession sof cereificates of stock of the Twentieth Century Gold Mining and Trading company. This company was succeeded by the Twentieth Cen tury Gold Mining company, Limited which latter corporation took over the properties and assets of the former company.
 A paragraph of the complaint filed in the Olcott case states MT. Blum was president at the same time of both the old and new companies There are also other considerations than those herein mentioned for bringing the suit.
