THE Battlefield
OF OSAWATOMIE
Where theodore Roosevelt Spoke on the
Al 3lst of Last Month on Occasion of
the Dedication Of the Famous
Spot as State
:.aj Park. .

Upon the battlefield of Osawatomie,
the little city in Kansas that now booms
large before the world because of the
dedication Aug. 81 Of the spot as state
park and the fact that Theodore Roose-
velt was the chief speaker on the occa-
sion, was fought one Of the many con-
f1icts between pro-slavery and anti-slav-
cry men that preceded the establish
ment of Kansas as free-soil state. In
significant as the battle seems in COM
parison with the larger events that fol-
lowed it, it was one of the sharpest en-
gagements of the so-called border war,
and has become Of historic Importance
through the fact that John Brown, the
abolitionist, hanged because of his at
tack on Harper's Ferry, took part ir it.
The battle occurred Aug. 80, 1856. AS
the Kansas City Times tells the story,
Capt. John Brown, DR.. W. w. Upde-
graft and Captain Cline commanded the
defense, and Gen. John W Reid was in
charge of the 400 Missourians who were
tn e invaders. After crossing th e
Marais des Cygnes at Bundy's Ford,
four miles northwest Of Osawatomie,
the invaders approached the little pio-
neer town about daylight. Martin
White, a preacher, acted as guide.
Frederick Brown, son of John Brown,
had planned to return to Lawrence that
day. On his way to a neighbor's home
he met Reid and White with a small
advance guard. -. IT.
"Good morning, boys; are you going
to Lawrence today?" said Brown, as he
saluted. 's .+," s
t'Why, I know you," replied White,
and, taking deliberate a i'm with his
rifle, he shot the son of the aboliticnist
leader dead in the road. This was short
ly before sunrise. The word went
rapidly around the town and reached
John Brown, half mile from town.
With Cline and Updegratf he collected
the men as best he could.
Learning that Reid had cannon with
him, the defenders decided to abandon
the blockhouse, and Brown and his
''army, '-forty-one men in took
up their position in the timber along
the river, on the south side, facing
south. Brown had seventeen men on
the right. Updegraf had ten men in
the center. Cline had fourteen men on
the left. Inthe Emigrant Aid COM
pany's mill, further to the left, there
was Pap" Austin, a former regular
soldier, equipped with rife carrying
an ounce ball.
.
When the free state forces were be-
arranged in the timber the Missourians
were passing within 600 yards of them.
Holmes, volunteer, advanced toward
the top of the hill southwest of the
town to reconnoiter, and, finding the
enemy close, fired, wounding an invader.
Holmes then retreated to the free state
lines and was pursued by the invaders,
who formed aline along the high ground

HEAPING GOALS OF FIRE

The youngsters had lots of fun on
Tuesday evening. First they used
the hill on G street as a sliding place,
but were stopped by officer Hause,
who saw danger to teams and the
youngsters on the slippery hill. To
stop the trouble, the officer poured
ashes on the hill but when he de-
parted the youngsters swept it off
and went on sliding. When later t.le
officer returned, everything was
moving delightfully."- until he ordered
the bunch of boys and girls to follow
him to the station. Obedient to the
command, all followed except one
boy who tried to escape, but the Of
ficer is Splinter and captured him
and placed him under arrest. AS
Mr.. Hause did not wish to get the boy
into trouble, when he got the bunch
to the station he conveniently turned
his back and the boy thought he
was fooling everybody when he
again made his escape.
At the station the children were
shown by the officer wherein they
were breaking the city ordinance and
the need of respect for the law, after
which he took the whole crowd, big
and little, to the Annex and the
Youngsters were glad they were not
like the boy who made his escape.
Officer Hause will have no more
trouble with those children on the
sliding proposition.

with the local committee appointed
by Mayor Benn to determine an
equitable rental to be charged by the
state for the use of harbor area lands.
After a thorough discussion, it was
decided to divide the waterfront IN
to five zones. and to fix the rentals
per foot of frontage regardless of the
width of the tract. Taking G ana
Heron streets as the center 81 the
city's population, the rentals were
fixed for each zone according to its
distance from that point. The rent
ais were fixed as follows:
Zone No. /, 10 cents per annum'

POSTAL RECEIPTS
Aberdeen Shows Marked Increase
Over 1908. and Approaches
Point for First Glass
Office

Postmaster w. b. Crammatte has
completed his records for the year,
which closed on Friday night, De-
cember 81, 1909. which shows an in
crease of 2S per cent. over 1908.
This has established a record which,
if the same ratio of increase can be
maintained for 1910 and 1911, will
result in Aberdeen having a first
class postoffice in 1912. The total
business of the year 1909, amounted
to $31,377. as compared to a total of
$24,421 for 1908. With the excep-
ton of the year 1908, which was the
year of Aberdeens big fire." postal
receipts for the past eight years show
gradual increase. with the great
est percentage of gain for 1908. The
total receipts for the past eight years
have been as follows: 1902. Sill
1870; 1908, $11.45S: 1904. $12,965;
1905, $15,7S6: 1906, $19,S05; 1907,
s25,223; 1908. $26,421; 1909, $751;
377. AS total of $4,000 receipts
is necessary to give the office first
class rating, it seems certain that
this amount will be reached by or
before the close of two more years.
Many advantages are to be gained
by higher rating, among them be-
ing a marked increase in postoffice
officials, which would give a larger
force for the work, and result in bet
ter service Improvements in the
equipment of the local postoffice are
now being installed, which will add
greatly to the convenience of pa
irons.

The Progressive Platform


pose? What will their election to
state legislatures and to Congress
mean to the cause of good govern
ment and to real representative gov
eminent? Will their control of pub
lie affairs advance and safe guard
the economic and political interests
of the masses and give new and lof-
tier Interpretation of American
ideals?
THE appeal to support the pro-
gressive movement comes to the in
dustrial class whose economic rights
are invaded; to the honest and cou-
rageous leaders whose ideals are
sc6rned; and ia every American
citizen whose manhood is challeng-
ed by the control of government by
special interests. The men now DOM
mating the government must be
taught that it belongs to all the peo-
pie. Aldrichism and Cannonism
must go. In place of it, must come

that of Washington and Hamilton,
based upon real democracy like that
of jefferson and Lincoln.
''The progressive platform is no.

ment. 1t is not to be sought fCr in
the declarations of political parties.
1t cannot be reduced to exact state
ment. It sweeps around and beyond

position to a moral Interpretation

ing by long contest the enactment
into law of his progressive and con-
structive measures, is devoting his
life to the public service. Another
has spent his fortune and the best
years of his life to make his city the
best governed and most progressive
in all the land. In far distant city
a man of courage and ability is plac-
ing his life in jeopardy for good gov
eminent. In still another city, a
man is fighting on, year after year,
against wealth and power for the
rights of innocent children. In one
of the departments at Washington,
a pubic-spirited man is directing,

CHAPTER III.

Chapter Three CT "lnterurban En-

other column, betrays a woeful lack
Of either enlightenment or argument
when it seeks to impugn the motives
of the newspapers who are opposing
it's attempt to secure a 50-year fran
chise over about 1870 miles of coun-
ty roads, conditioned upon their
building IL miles of trolley road
within two years.
The Herald and its readers are sur
teited with talks on the beneficial
effects of interurban railways. What
we want to hear is valid reason
G,r giving any INDEFINITE rights
over the country roads in any event.
Any rights given this company-in
view of the piratical franchise ORR
ginally presented by them-should
be definitely set out in the fran
chise, and nothing left in uncer-
tainty. Even the charge for hauling
gravel should be determined at a
maximum sum per yard per mile,
not at reasonable price," or lat
cost" The profile of every foot of
the line should be filed and made a
part of the franchise, and that doc
ument should not cover foot OF
public road until this was complied
with, and definite time fixed when
each piece of road must be in opera
>tion, or the franchise be forfeited.
The attempt to cast discredit upon
those opposing this bunch of promot-
ers is too silly for serious consider
alton, and is plainly written for ig-
norant or interested reading. Those
opponents have already performed q
valuable public service when they
knocked out the "perpetual' fran
chise, and they are simply continu-
ing this performance in the inter-
est of the preservation of the county
roads. Who are the competitors

uous charge, as is the World.
There is no concern, known to the
Herald, that desires to enter this
interurban field, and this paper will
be glad to encourage any legitimate
company that desires to build such
reads. That the bunch engaged in
the present scheme is regarded with
suspicion is due wholly to their own
actions in this attempt. A number
CT very worthy men are in this deal
taken in by the original promoter
to lend an air of Responsibility to
the grab--for whom the Herald has
the highest respect, but laments the
company they are in at present.

During the past thirteen years a
serious fungus disease OF potatoes has
spread throughout European coun-
tries. II was first recorded from Hun
gary in 1896 and appeared in England
In 1901 and is known as the black

canker." During the years that have
clasped since the disease first became
known 1t has spread into ireland.
Scotland, England, Scandinavia, Ger
many, France. Italy and Newfound-

part of Europe. 1t was not known on
the American continent until 1t ap-
peared in Newfoundland In 1909.
The extraordinary virulence of the
disease and the rapidity with which
II has spread, make il necessary to
warn all potato growers to be on the
lookout for this disease.
