TELLS
OF NEW KIND
Wizard Has Invented Com
pact Battsry--Run Wagons.

Thomas A. Edison thinks that he
has now invented the storage battery
that will overcome the three main
objections to the n now in use,
weight, bulk and length of time re-
uuired to store them. The new bat
terry that he has been working on for
months is so light that one large
enough to run a delivery wagon can
be put in a suit case. 1t can be
charged in four or five minutes, he
says.
1t was at the meeting of the Ma
tional Electric Light Association in
New York yesterday afternoon that
Mr.. Edison let this much and a lit
tie more be known about the work
that has been taking most Of his
time recently.
1t was after the meeting was over
that Mr.. Edison was cornered by
newspaper men and seemed really
glad to talk.
His new battery would revolution
ize the present surface car transpor-
tation, he thought. Some of his bat
teries are already being tried out on
the Twenty-ninth street CrosstOwn
cars in New York, but the new ones
are not to be compared with those.
The new ones can be stored under
the seats. They can be rushed" he
said, when it came to the charging,
Full current from the ordinary feed
wire can be turned on at the end of
each trip and in four minu'es the
batteries will be charged. Mr.. Edi-
sou is very sure that they are eco
nomicaI and very cheap, but how
cheap he has not figured out,
The most startling part of what
Mr.. Edison had to say ~pcrtained to
the use of the new batteries in vehi-
cles. He told of an old delivery cart
that he turned into an electric motor
in no time. All he did, he says, was
to take off the shafts and install ono
of the suitcase variety storage bat
teries along with the motor. A ten
minute charge would carry It ove
fifty miles. The whole cost of a
days delivery for the average mer-
chant was about twenty-five cents, he
thought.

WORKING FAST
The Contractor Needs More
Help.

Mr.. Kniffep, who is in charge of
the extension of the waterworks
here for the I. G.. Brooks Con-
tracing Co., has been pushing the
work Of laying the new pipe for
the city waterworks rapidly the
past two weeks, and now has it
wellalong. There was considera-
BILE speculation when the contract
was let, as to whether not the con-
tractor would use Liberal men in
digging the bitches of the pipe
lines. 1t now developes that there
are no more men to be hired. Mr..
Kniffen says he could use ten more
men right now, if he could find
them. There are mighty few men
around town that are not busy,
and the shortage of men is delay
ing the work somewhat.
1t is expected that the tank and
and tower gang will be here ready
to start to work Monday morning,
and the drilling of the big well
will be started at the same time.
Mr.. T. G. Brooks, who is presi-
dent Of the company, who is here
this week and will give the erec-
tion Of the tank and the digging
Of the we'll his personal super
vision. He is one of the oldest
contractors in the business, and
has long series of successes in his
line of work behind him.
Mr.. W. E. Peck, the engineer
who is inspecting the work for the
city is here, and has been busy on
the job since it was started. So
far, there has been no objection on
his part to any of the work, and it
all seems to be progressing nicely.
1t is expected that the plant will
be ready to turn over to the city
early in December.

STICKLER CASE
Claims Check Was Raised
One Hundred Dollars !,

The first of the week j. N.
Stickler was arrested on a warrant
and complaint issued by the county
attorney, charged with raising a
check from $25 to $125, on the
complaint of G. w. johnson, who
is more familiarly known as Sand
hill johnson. 1t seems that John
son bought thirty or forty acres
of feed from Mr.. Stickler. and
gave a check and a note in pay
ment. Mr.. Stickler wrote the
check payable to himself and
johnson signed the check and a
few days later gave Stickler a
note for $25. The check was CASH
ed by Stickler at the drug store of
Smith Bros, in Liberal. A few
days later at sale, Mr., dubois, of
the Citizens State Bank met john
son and asked if he had given a
check to Stickler. johnson re-
piled that he had given Stickler a
cherk for $25, Further discussion
of the matter lead to the discovery
that the check had been cashed for
$125. Stickler said that the check
was given for $125. The check
shows some evidence of having
been altered. On the first line the
figure one before the 25 is marked
into the 5 mark. On the following
line the word "one" is written,
then comes a carat mark and the
word hundred" is written above;
then follow the words twenty-five.
Stickler says that he read the
check to johnson before the latter
signed it, and read it as one hun
dred and twenty-five dollars. The
preliminary was held Wednesday
evening and the defendant was
bound over to the district court,
the bond being fixed at $700. 1t
is possible that the case will come
to trial at this term Of court, and
from the present indications will
probably came up about Monday.

The Skating Rink

A coming event which is being
looked forward to with much anti
cipation by the younger set, and
we might add, some of the older
folks too, is the opening of the
roller skating rink at the Opera
House here next Wednesday ev-
ening, September 20. The rink
will be opened at seven-thirty in
the evening, and the grand march
will start at eight-thirty sharp.
Manager John Forester announ-
ces that he will have a string of
attractions there this winter that
will make it the most attractive
season for the roller skaters we
have ever had in Liberal. Music
will be a new feature at the rink
this winter, and souvenirs will be
given away on the opening night.
just what the good things are, he
refuses to say, but with his ex-
perience in the business at Newton
he should be in a position to make
this one of the most attractive and
entertaining places .of the town.

Against Re-submission

Judge w. H. Thompson in an
interview this morning said: Il
am opposed to Mr.. Billiards. can
didacy for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor on a re-submis-
sion platform. Re-submission is
dead issue in Kansas and was
dropped by the Democratic party
years ago. This party is unalter-
ably opposed to re-submission and
irrevocably favorable to the pro-
hibitory law and its enforcement.
There is perhaps small per cent
of voters in both the Republican
and Democratic parties who have
never gotten over their opposition
to prohibition and who are again
trying TO revive the old re.submis-
sion howl. but thousands of old
re-submissionists have been con-
verted since the last liquor agita-
tion, and what is far better, there
are now thousands of the younger
generation who have grown up 10
Kansas under the moral influences
and bene6cent effects of prohibi-
tion who will never submit to such
a thing. If there is any resub-
mission sentiment anywhere, it is
surely not in Western Kansas
where the law is the best enforced.
We believe in prohibition, and in
the enforcement of the law, not
simply because it is the law, but
because it is the right kind of q
law. Mr.. Billiard is mistaken
in thinking Kansas is reactionary
and wants to return to the open
saloons. Kansas democracy is
progressive and opposes any re-
dictionary movement, whether it
involves prohibition or any other
advanced step Kansas or the ma
tion has taken in the way of leg
islation while we deplore the
necessity of the demonstration,
yet. after all, we are fortunate to
have such splendid opportunity
to strengthen our party and place
ourselves upon record on the right
side of this proposition. With state
and National victory within our
grasp, we cannot afford to take a
backward stepl''

SOMETHING DOING
Night Marshal Encounters
Some Trouble.

There has been considerable
gossip this week over the runaway
Sunday evening, and an affai
which occurred Saturday 9 vening
both of which have cast more or
less reflection on Jim England,
who was appointed night watch
man two weeks ago. Stories re-
garding the affairs Saturday and
Sunday night are somewhat con-
fiicting, but the events as told
by Mr.. England are as follows:
About midnight, Jim Eng
land and Tom Dean were walking
down Kansas Ave. when they met
Caney Hibbs, who was said to be
intoxicated, and started to arrest
him. Hibbs resented the attempt
and resisted, striking England in
the face once, knocking out sever
al Of England's front teeth. Hibbs
was then taken to the city Jail and
lodged there. He was later turn
ed loose by Tom Dean upon his
own recognizrnce and will appear
before the police court as soon as
H. w. Lsne, police Judge returns.
On Sunday Jake Little, who
lives near Beaver City, drove up
to Liberal on business. Mrs.
Poindexter, a widow, who lives IN
Beaver county wanted to come
here to work, and rode up here
with Mr.. Little. During the late
afternoon and evening he had been
drinking, and hitched up his team
and drove around town at q rapid
gait. A little later on he was
seen on the streets with Mrs.
Poindexter in the rig. They drove
to the south side when the team
became unmanageabIe. running in
to the fence at the corner Of the
residence of Mr.. Allen. Mr.. Little
was thrown out, and a few rods
further Mrs. Poindexter fell out
of the buggy striking her head
and shoulder and receiving severe
injuries. Mr.. England who was
making his beat on the south side
heard the team running and
tried to catch them. He saw the
two people thrown out of the rig
and hurried to the scene of the &C.
