Knights of Columbus.
While the work of the delegates al
the national convention of the knights
of Columbus, now in session at De.
troit. will be largely confined to rou-
tine matters reports win be made on
the 100000 endowment fund for tine
Catholic University of America a,
Washington, which has been raised
entirely by the Knights OF Columbus
Three hundred thousand dollars in
cash mas already been obtained by
the various councils and the remain
ing 100000 will be readily contribut-
ed.
An attempt will be made at the con-
vention to get the pledges Of 10000
knights to march i'm the grand Knights
Of Columbus parade TO take place In
Washington next May, when the great
100000 Columbus memorial shaft is
to be unveiled on the Union station
plaza. Congress appropriated the mon
ey for the memorial and named SUI
preme Knight Flaherty as one Of the
members of the committee which has
1t in charge, the secretary of war and
secretary of state being other mem
bers
The shaft shows the great discoverer
standing on the prov of the Santa
Maria. The figure Is 16 feet high and
at each side are representations of the
old and new worlds. T.. L. Hearn of
New York past supreme knight, and
Col. Crosby of the war department
have been named as a commission to
name the date for the unwilling.
Catholic Foresters.
Members of the Catholic order of
Foresters are showing keen interest
in the national convention of the or
der, which is being neld in Cleveland,
Ohio, this week. Six delegates from
Michigan are in attendance.
Among the great questions to oe
considered at the convention is one
affecting the insurance rates, AMI in
this all members of the order are ir-
tensely interested.
Although the insurance rates at
present are no higher than those Of q
great many similar bodies, it is prob
able that some readjustments i'm the
schedules will be made. The action
OF the Modern Woodmen in calling
special meetings TO be held some time
in the near future Is doubtless respon-
sible for the decision of the Foresters
to consider the matter also. The For
esters now have a reserve fund OIL
slightly over a half million dollars.
The condition of the order as a
whole was never better than it is now.
The membership Is constantly on the
increase and the assimilation of new
blood" has helped to keep the insur
ance department on n much 1rmcr
footing than is common to most fra
ternal organizations. The order is now
recognized MS being by far
the largest and most substantial Cath
Ollie fraternal organization on the con-
tinent.

WOMAN GETS MONEY BACK.
Wellesley College Sells Land Given It
Years Ago.

Boston, Aug. 25.-An unusual liti-
cation is brought to an end in the
supreme court here by the decision of
Judge Sheldon that Mrs. Pauline Dur
ant, widow of the founder of Welles-
ley college. may accept money received
by the Wellesley college directors from
the sale of property which she deed ed
to the college some years ago.
The property was decided to the col
lege in 1902 to be used as a boys
club. This was at first very success
full, but afterwards lost its popularity
and was given up.
The directors could not deed the
property back to Mrs. Durant because
she had not provided for revocation
of the trust. They could, however, and
did sell the property for $4,000, but
could not turn the money over to the
patron without a court decision per-
hitting such an act.

Of 100 pounds of milk and makes an

senting 1000 dairymen to fix the prices

Lindsborg. Kan. Aug. Whenever
the Winnipeg, Salina & Gulf railroad

proposition Of the new road which was
that it would run through Lindsborg if

it in escrow at one of the local banks,
the road to be entitled to it as soon

ELM TREE ROOT STOPPED DRAIN
Filled Pipe at Huntoon Park for Dis
lance of Sixteen Feet.

An interesting discovery was made
at Huntoon park today when a num-
Der of workmen under the direction of
superintendent A. Refnisch ascertain
ed the cause of the stoppage of the
overflow pipe in connection with the
park fountain. It was found upon
tearing out the four inch tile drain
that an elm root has pushed through
a small crack in the tile and for a dis
lance of sixteen feet had formed itself
into mat which was more than three
inches in width.
Mr.. Reinisch considered this freak
growth of sufficient interest to pre-
serve and he intimated that he would
put it on exhibit at the Commercial
club or the state fair. or possibly both.
For some time 1t had been impossible
to solve the mystery of the stoppage of
the drain.

HAVE JAG BOOK IN KANSAS.
Movement to Make Railroads Keep
Record of Liquor Shipments.

Record of Liquor Shipments.
Arkansas City, Kan. Aug. 25.-A re-
cent order from the prohihitory en-
forcement division of Governor Cruce' s
office provides that all railroad and
express agents in Oklahoma keep a
separate record of all liquor shipments,
the quality, to whom it was shipped
and when it was delivered. This book
must be kept open for inspection to
all state and county officers. This or
der constitutes one of the hardest
blows that the bootleggers of Oklahoma
ever received. It is impossible for them
to get a shipment without the officers
knowing the full particulars. and If a
county attorney or county sheriff does
not keep posted on the facts as shown
by these Jag books, the governor s
staff officers who are looking after the
enforcement of the prohibitory law, i'm
mediately investigate the reason for
such neglect. This new order has pro-
vided a smudge that is soaring the
would be bootleggers out Of their holes,
and it is said that the lid is going on
tighter in Oklahoma at this time than
it ever was before
Temperance league of this city who
have noticed the wonderful effect this
order has had toward enforcing the
prohibitOry law in Oklahoma, are going
to take the matter up with Governor
Stubbs in an effort to have the Jag
book introduced in Kansas. It is said
with the aid of the Jag book that
it is impossible for a bootlegger to stay
! in business for only a few days with
out the officers knowing all about the
business he is doing.

Ell PAsO SOUTHWESTERN OUTLET
Rich Road Seeks Line Through South
ern California.

San Bernardino. Cal, Aug. 25.-Thas
the FL Paso & Southwestern, and not
the Salt Lake railroad, is seeking to Sc
cure a road into southern California by
way of the MorongO Pass and Banning,
is the statement made here by Frank
Chase, a railroad contractor, who
claims to have reliable information re-
garding the matter. For several weeks
an engineering party has been actively
engaged in running lines and grades in
the Morongo Pass country, east Of
Banning. This activity has caused a
great deal of comment, both here and
in other sections of southern Cali
fornia. It has been supposed that the
