BUSCH GIVES EN- BEER.
Great Crowd Rushes to Depot, But Is
Too Late.

Hutchinson, Kan, April 1O.-The gen
erosity of Adolphus Busch in giving
away beer and champagne at the Santa
Fe depot here Saturday afternoon when
his special car Adolphus stopped here
a few minutes, caused much excitement
among the thirsty and several of them
partook of the free refreshments of the
travelling oasis. First Mr.. Busch gave
away pocket knives bearing the adver-
tisement of the Anheuser- Busch Brew
ing company and then he treated a few
to bottles of beer. Mr.. Busch also in
vited his guests into his car and fur
nished champagne. Immediately after
the departure of the train the news of
the free distribution spread and large
crowd gathered at the depot. The ac-
ton of Mr.. Busch is condemned by the
temperance people here.
Kansas City, April 10.-"They came
with bouquets out there in Kansas. so
jestingly offered them drinks of beer
Mr.. Busch said last night at the Union
depot. only one man refused and he
was a newspaper man. After many
years of prohibition 1 still find that a
glass of beer isn't scorned in Kansas.
But Kansas is a great state and it
looked better than 1 ever saw it be-
fore. The people out there are pros
porous and happy"

The Curtis airship of the Topeka

paign is off on its imaginary flight in
the direction of wichita. The craft left
the ground at an early hour this morn
ing headed towards the rival city, and
reports brought in this noon by the
team captains had it that the craft had
travelled more than a mile.
A phone message from Wichita at 10
o'clock this morning informed the To-
cal management that up to that time
the Wright aircraft of the Wichita
aggregation had not left the ground. In
this contest every $40 turned in by the
workers counts one mile of flight.
Nearly all of the captains of teams
were present this noon for a meeting,
and the prospects are that sailing will
be easy
There will be much rivalry between
the local teams, because of the fact
that at the closing dinner which will
be given for the workers and new
members, the low team in the race will
have to "sling the hash,' to use the
expression of one Of the boys.

independence, Kan, April 10
"Boo-hoo," sobbed a little thirteen
year-old girl as she sat in the office
of Probate Judge Osborn.
No, it wasn't because her doll had
broken its head, nor because she had
been playing in the dirt and had soil
ed her clean dress. Nothing of the
sort.
It was because she could not get
married. The judge said no.
This was the sad ending to a pros
spective wedding that didn't material
ize. The parties are from Altamont
and they came away over here to
have Judge Osborn perform the we'd
ding ceremony. Mamma-her mamma
was with them and informed the
judge that she brought her child over
to Independence because she had been
married here herself short time ago,
and liked the way the job was done.
She is divorced from the girls father
and has the custody of the girl. A
short time ago she took her second
husband.
The girl had been keeping company
with the would-be bridegroom for
quite a while. He is % and she is 10,
and not very far over the mark at
that. She is a sweet, innocent look
ing little thing, but as for the BRIDE
CROMWELL, you can imagine what
kind of chap he is likely to be that
would want to marry girl just enter
ing her teens. And the mother-she
looked as though she ought to have
had better sense. She told the Judge
they just wanted to get married, that
was all. and like Barkis, she was will

in the series of suits which are pend
ing.
Now Land Is Valuable.
There was once a time when these
Islands were regarded as worthless
and nobody thought of suing for them.
But now. with land along the river
worth from 800 to $500 per acre the
situation is much different.
1t is alleged. as a side-issue in the
suits, that some of the owners of land
on one side of the river have been put
ting in piling and rip-rap and gradually
adding accretions, and changing the
river channel, throwing it across to the
opposite side and cutting away land
from the owners on the other side
There probably will be some inter-
esting litigation from this source also
before the disputes regarding the river
land are settled.

Holdings to $500 Acres.
Maple Hill, Kan. April 1O.-Another
big cattle pasture is to be cut up into
farms. The "Cross-ell" ranch of so 900
acres, near Folsom. N. M, has been sold
by Fowler & Tod, this city, to a st
Paul syndicate. The price is said to
be nearly a million dollars. The new
owners will sell the land in small areas.
More than a quarter of a century ago
Fowler & Tod bought the property. At
that time it was wild land and cost
practically nothing. Extensive improve
ments were made and a herd of thor
oughbred Hereford cattle was estab-
lished.
cit is just another move toward a big
ger and better southwest, that demands
that the old range regime give way to
the farmer" Mr.. Tod said. "One who
does not know of the old range days
cannot appreciate the changes in the
past decade"

URGES PENSION FOR
INDIAN WAR VETERANS
Memorial to Congress Intro
duced by Badger and Passed
by Unanimous Vote.

The senate Wednesday unanimously
passed joint memorial TO congress
urging that the surviving pioneers who
took part In the early warfare with the
Indians In Utah be placed on the pen
sion rolls of the nation. The memorial
was introduced in the senate by Badger
OF Salt Lake. and at his request the
rules were suspended and the memorial
passed. The occasion for the haste was
the fact that the supporters OF the bill
hoped TO get II to Washington as long
a time as possible before congress ad-
1ourned, In order that ii might have fav-
orable consideration.
The memorial recites the fact that the
frontiersmen made possible the splendid
civilization of Utah and other western
states by undergoing hardships and pri-
Vattons. as well as fierce struggles with
savages, between the years 1854 and 1874
and that these pioneers have never been
recognized or compensated for their
services TO the nation.
