ST. PETERSBURG, March 2S-The Rus
sian foreign office has telegraphed the
Russian minister at Peking that China
reply to Russia's ultimatum is satisfac-
tory and expressing the emperor's graft
fication at the happy termination Of the
negotiations.
PEKING, March 2S.-It is suspected In
the legation quarter that a deep design is
afoot, thinly concealed by the Russo
Chinese exchanges. There is an inability
to reconcile the contrary attitudes Of St
Petersburg an dthe Russian legation here
While the former has been proclaiming
the necessity of military action against
China the latter has declared that the
troops will not be moved
1t is believed the legations attitude may
be intended to encourage the Chinese, who
are always ready to take part in a con-
test Of cunning. Yesterdays reply OF the
Chinese foreign board to the Russian ulti-
matum, read superflcially. gives the i'm
preston that China complies fully with
the demands mace but carefully studied
1t goes little beyond this and is replete
with repeutions that China already has
complied in previous replies.
Accordingly, though the legation quarter
mistrusts Russia's intentions, there is lit
tie sympathy with the Chinese who evince
delight In deceptive phraseology at a mo-
ment when the loss of a province may be
threatened

the population of the county is

PEELED to spend as much more in a

of commissioners have been forced

vide a new Jail, and they are try
ing to get what is needed for as
little money as possible. The man
who fills up his space with an
article about something of which
he knows absolutely nothing is a
menace to the community, and
should have little influence among
intelligent people. The county
board has not yet decided how
much they will spend for the new
Jail, and will not know till they
advertise for the bids.

Practical Joke.

About a week ago, Lee LARA
bee took a handful of dust he had
gathered up in the corner of a
box car to the Office of Ellsaesser,
Woods 8 Henry. He told them it
was taken from a we'll on his place
east of town, and asked them if it
did not look like gold. Chas. Ell
saesser became very much inter-
ested in the dirt and wanted to buy
in with Lee on the land and work
it for gold. While the others
were, talking about it, Chas. sent
a sample of the alleged ore to the
chemistry department of the State
University, and asked for an anal
ysis. 1t came back and fell into
the hands of Ollie Woods and Don
Henry, who told Lee about it.
Then the fellows got Chas. to put
up $5 for an assay of the ore.
Friday, after a long discussion be-
tween the two principals and John
Baughman, they decided to let a
number of fellows in on the mine,
and they all went into the real
estate Office where a number of
fellows gathered. Then they gave
Chas. Ellsaesser the letter from
the State University to read to
the crowd. Chas. read it aloud
and discovered in the course of
reading it that there was no gold
in the ore, nor anything else of
value. The boys brought in a box
of cigars and a sack of oranges
which they had bought with the
i've Charles had put up for the
essay of the ore. The fellows are
still asking Charles about the div
idends of his Seward county gold
mine.

the public sufficient notice. The
lectures will not be for farmers
alone, but men, women and chill
dren from town and country will
be expected to attend.

Abraham S. Long, born in Lick

1865, died in Dalhart OF acut'

reads the time limits of a life that
is no more. And when men sale
yesterday, "Abe is dead" they
spoke low and tears sprang un,
hidden to a thousand eyes, and
grief was in the hearts of all who
had ever known him.
He came west with the exten
sion of the Rock Island railway as
an engineer and becams a citizen
here at the foundation of the town
and has resided here and held a
passenger run on the road ever
since that time,
And during his residence here,
the life he has lived, the character
he bore that shone in his every
deed made him friends of the sort
that loved him for the nobility Of
his manhood. A truer man, nobler
in his purposes and more patient
in the midst of trials, higher in his
ideals and purer in his heart than
Abraham S. Long never lived.
To the sorrowing relatives and
grief stricken friends The Texan
can say no word of comfort, for
we, too, have lost in him a friend
and a brother tried and true, and
yet his memory is precious treas.
ure. To have known him is to
have been made better l'y his in
fluence, for in his Christian life he
walked in the footsteps of his
Master--and the pathway has led,
through life, and through the gates
of death to the sinless, painless
City of God.
To his children he left the legacy
of a life that will forever honor
them and a name that as stood
for all that royal manhood means.
and an example that will help
them to so live that after awhile,
and that not long, the family cir
Gle will meet again unbroken on
the beautiful shore.
The funeral services will be held

pices Of the Masonic Lodge, Rev.

body will be laid to rest in the

SqueaIed Too Soon
The County Commissioners
Have not Decided to
= Build a $4,000
Jail.

Last Friday an awful yell went
up here in Liberal against the new
county Jail. The commissioners
have not yet decided how much
the building will cost, and have
not even had plans for the new
Jail submitted to them for their
approval. 1t is true, however,
that they do not have authority to
build Jail that will cost more than
the amount above named.
Both the county and city health
officers have recently made afti-
davit that the present Jail was un-
sanitary. If a man was confined
in the county Jail and became i'll,
the county would be liable for
damages, which would, probably
cost us more than the new Jail.
The Judge Of this district has re-
peatedIy condemed the present
jail, and at last has almost forced
the county commissioners to pro-
vide a new one. The present sys-
tenn of looking after the prisoners
is very expensive, as it requires a
day and night guard when the Jail
is occupied. This costs the coun-
ty So a day while prisoners are
in the Jail. If the new Jail were
built without the sheriff's residence
the board would have to hire q
watch, so that in course of few
years, the savings in watchman's
fees will pay for the extra cost
in adding a sheriff's residence to
the Jail. We have spent about
$4,000 for such fees since the new
Jail was first talked of, in 1908.
The board has thought that we
would need four new cells, which
will in themselves, cost about
So, 500 dollars. The present cells
cost $4,000 about twenty years
ago. and there are only two of
them. They are out of date and
are not secure. 1t is planned to
put these two cells into a separate
room for women, which the Kan.
Stat. requires in Sec. 1859. This
will give the new Jail six cells.
Some may think that this is larger
than necessary, but at one time
last spring, there we're five men
arrested in single night for rob-
bing the Summers Store. If the
addition is made while the build
ing is in progress, it will only cost
about $500, while if it is made
