Eight Brothers and Sisters Have
So Children.
IN ONE NEIGHBORHOOD
Only One Brother Resides Out
side 1O-MiIe Circle.
Sixty of So Children Have
Grown to Maturity.

Ha1stead. Kan, April 26.-When the
Ruth family, who live in a little SebIlo
ment of their own between Burton ana
Halstead, hold their annual 1annly re-
unions, it is necessary to get a cohNell-
ton hall or big auditorium to get thenl
all in one room.
For there are eight brothers and SIS
tiers. who have among them IS chlldren,
60 of them grown to maturity, ana theS
in turn have so children among thenl:
making of these three generations o.
the family 153, besides the huspahus
and wives of the aunts, uncles, nepheWS
and nieces, over 100 more, making ABOUT
300 in all. ,s
The eight children of Mrs. David
Ruth are all living. The youngest is %
years old. The oldest is nearly 73 with
the exception of one brother, who lives
in Kingfisher, Okla, they all live in the
same neighborhood, between burton
and Halstead and they and their sons
and daughters make up large part Oh
the population of that locality.
David Ruth, the father, brought his
family to the United States in 1852 from
Bavaria, where all the children but the
youngest, were born. They first settled
in Iowa, but located in Kansas in the
'7Os, the sons and husbands of the
daughters all buying Santa Fe railway
land. The father died in Illinois.
A Family of Giants.
The members of this remarkable fam
lily are all large, and well preserved
men and women. They have reached
an average age of 651Z years, and aver
age in weight 1907 pounds. Their aver
age height is six feet, lacking two
inches. Sixty of their IS children have
grown to maturity and most of them
are married now and rearing families
of their own.
Since the '7Os, when the family set
in thew ha a lived
the same community, within a radius
of ten miles, with the exception of
Jacob, who moved to Oklahoma.
One of the grandchildren now con-
ducts a photograph studio at Halstead,
and at a recent family reunion took a
group photograph, the first family pic
ture they have ever had taken. If each
member of the family takes but one of
the photos it will mean about 300 that
he will have to prepare.

Charged With Assault Upon Bride of
Few Days.

Smith Center, Kan, April 26.-Marion

cutting his throat with a razor. The
act followed his arrest upon charge

marriage occurred the middle of last
week After listening to the reading
of the warrant for his arrest, Heath
asked the constable to accompany him
to his home, where awaited his wife

being only month old. After leaving
the house to return to town, Heath
asked leave of the officer to go into an
outbuilding and it was while there that
he committed the deed of Self-destruc-
ton. He was about 80 years of age,
and had a large circle of friends in
this city. .

Hutchinson. Kan, April 26.-Dur-

mission was given by Senator Emerson
Carey to the city street department to

land along the river edge
Now he discovers that instead of

and drove into a tract of timber land
which he was planning tC convert into
a park and dumped the stuff there.
Thousands of tin cans and scores of
wagon loads. of trash of all Kinds have
been dumped in his grove.

BUSH COMING no KANSAS SOON.
New President of Missouri Pacific to
valley of Discomfort"

Wichita, Kan, April 26.-The new
president of the Missouri Pacific rail-
way, Benjamin F. Bush, is coming to
Kansas for a visit. President Bush
was elected only week ago but he is
already making plans for an inspection
of the Missouri Pacific properties that
will give him an adequate idea of the
giant task before him-that of re-
habilitating the railway and making it
pay such dividends as competitive lines
are paying.
No definite time has been set for
President Bushs inspection tour but
local officials of the road stated today
that it would occur within the next
few weeks. The work of putting the
Missouri Pacific in first class condition
will begin Immediately after President
Bush finds out just what is required.
The new president will be busy
man. He will be required to keep in
touch with all the minute details of a
! large program of construction work
He will spend the greater part of his
time in his private car out on the road.
1t literally means that he will live, eat
and sleep on the job.

Union Pacific.

Salina. Kan, April 26.-"Yellow
Eye Bill" the tramp dog which has
been riding with the express messen-
gers all over the western part of the
United States for the past month, was
in Salina the other day. The dog came
in from Denver and liking Salina left
the train and went east on train 104.
The dog is just a common cur, yell
low and stands about two feet high.
The dog is just like any other cur with
the exception of his eyes which have
an unusual brilliancy. He has more
than the usual intelligence and will
not take up with anyone except the
express messengers.
The dog started on his travels about
a month ago, boarding the train at
Abilene he went east and then return
ed to Denver In the month, the dog
has been to Seattle, Portland and Los
Angeles. He has made three round
trips between Denver and Kansas City
and has also made several trips be-

and the right to form or join organi-
cations for the improvement of their
labor conditions.
During January and February there
was general complaint because certain
changes in the regulations imposed adj
ded burdens upon the railway mail
clerks. A conference between repre-
sentatives of the railway postal clerks
and the postoffice department officials
was subsequently held. at which it was
claimed an understanding was reached
that certain changes would be made,
which. would adjust the grievances of
the clerks. I am DESTROYS to obtain in
formation as to the effect of these
changes, and to know if they have re-
suited in removing the cause of COM
plaint.''

Charles A. Dawdy and his brother,
Del, each own a silo, the only silos in
Jewell county. c.. A. Dawdy says it
pays to have a silo and gives the fol-
lowing figures: 81 have said it cost
me $275 per ton to fill my silO, but
from the way the rest of the field
turned out, do not believe it cost me
over 81 per ton. Have paid out for
cutting, $3.50; engine $2S; hired
hands, SIS. and allowing So for
board; corn stalks $3.50: 300 bushels
of corn at 40 per bushel,- $120, makes
$193.5O for 10 tons of the best feed
ever fed" He also gives twelve rea-
sons for owning silo. every one OF
which is an argument for modern IA
cilities and profit in a farmers actual
service.
The Jewell City school has decided
to accept the states offer of $3.50 per
annum and put in the agricultural and
domestic science courses. The school
building has every facility save few
articles of furniture, which will be
supplied. The normal course which
was added sometime ago has been sue
cesSfully tried and will be continued.

all her might to stay at the top. Call
Jarvis implored him to save the little
girl. The man came but was utterly
helpless through fear of his own safe
ty. 1t was then that little Tom Jarvis,
hearing his mothers voice pleading
with the man to save the drowning
girl, ran out of the house and, without
a moments hesitation, to the terror
and establishment of his mother,
plunged into the cistern, seized the
little girl and brought her safely to
the top, by clinging to the pump pipes
Irene was unhurt save for the shock.

BRAKEMEN DO PORTER WORK
New Order in California Causes Ex-
element ON Santa Fe.

San Bernardino, Cal, April 26.-
Will the "brakies'' be required to clean
cuspidors and do other similar jobs
when the negro porter passes?
This question has been passed back
and forth between local trainmen ever
since the word went round that the
porters who looked after the smokers
and day coaches on the overland Santa
F'e trains were to be abolished. A
number of them are inclined to be-
lieve that such will be the case. and
are consequently demurring loudly
against the proposed change.
Officials of the Santa Fe. however,
state that no such duties will be re-
quired of the brakemen. Such work
as taking care of cuspidors and clean
ing up the cars is done at the ter
minals or division headquarters, by
swampers employed especially for the
purpose, and the porters, even, have
never had any of it to do.

PAY RURAL TEACHERS MORE.
From $50 to SIS Now Prevailing
Prices in Country.

Smith Center, Kan, April 26-It was
not so many years back that teaching
in Smith county was classed as one of
the poorly paid occupations. Now the
old order of things is changed, and
especially is it true of the rural dis
tricts There is keen and early COM
petition among school boards to Sc
cure the best teachers regardless of the
cost. Salaries range from $50 to S75
a month, and only the young and in
experienced teachers are asked to work
for less than the first named figure.

The train will run, according to the
rumors, over the main line Union Pa
cific tracks from Kansas City to Sa-
lima and then over the branch to Colby.
At Colby the train will transfer to the
Rock Island tracks and run into Den
yer over these. This route will do
away with the heavy grades on the
main line. The grade on the branch is
more gradual than that of the main
line. There are no steep hills like
those at Ellsworth and farther west.
These trains will be the heaviest
run on the Kansas division of the
Union Pacific. Besides the mail cars
they will carry only Pullmans and an
observation car. The train will carry
all of the through night mail which
trains Nos. 101 and 102, the Denver
st. Louis trains, now carry and these
trains will be run on a faster schedule.
