A bald-headed person does not

Delinquent Corporations

| More than $1,000 delinquent cor
| porationsr in Kansas are in danger of
| losing their charters on August 20
for failure to comply with the law by
| filing their annual statements with
the Secretary of State. OF this num-
Der six are Trego county corpora
tions.
Many of these concerns are dead
and gone already. But there are a
few still doing business in total dis
regard of the law which requires
them to file such reports showing
their financial condition. This class
must either fish or cut bait and do it
mighty quick.
In order to clean up the state
records and enable the corporation
department to have a complete list
of all active corporations, the legis-
lature last winter passed law to
wipe out all corporations which had
been delinquent in filing such reports
during the past three years. The
time limit is up on August 20. Those
which fail to get their reports in by
that time will be declared dead, by
action of law
While the law doesn't require it,
Secretary of State Sessions is taking
every means he can to advise the de-
linquent corporations of the fate
that soon awaits them if they longer
persist in violating the law.
In making up the list it is barely
possible that now and then a corpor-
alton may be included which has re-
ported. In handling over 5000
charters in a limited time an occaS-
ional error necessarily will creep in.
However it will be caught in the
final check up and the law abiding
corporation will have its charter pro-
tected-.
Following are the corporations in
Trego county, slated to be legally
slaughtered on August 20 for not fl
ing such reports during the past
three years:
George l. Verbeck Nero. Co., Wa
Keeney.
Iowa and Kansas Investment Co.,
Wa-Keeney.
Ogallah Creamery Co., Ogallah.
Wa-Keeney Townsite Co., Trego
county.
Wa-Keeney Loan and Trust Co.,
Wa-Keeney.
Wa-Keeney Hotel Co., Wa-Keeney.

PREACHER UNFAITHFUL TO
DEAD BROTHERS TRUST
An Ellis Minister Arrested on Charge
OF Wrongins His Niece.

Salina, Aug. 5.-The Rev. Wayne
K. Stalnaker, pastor of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church at Ellis, is in
the Ellis county Jail at Hays charged
with criminal assault upon his niece,
II years old, who has for some time
made her home with the minister s
family. The girl is the daughter of
Stalnaker's dead brother, and on his
deathbed he placed the child in the
minister's hands for protection
through her childhood days.
The little girl confided to a COM
panion her sorrowful secret, and the
companion lost no time in informing
her mother of what had taken place.
The wronged child also informed a
neighbor woman, who was a member
of the Rev. Mr.. Stalnaker'S congre-
CATION The neighbor's husband be-
gan an investigation which resulted
in the arrest of the preacher on
Thursday evening He was hurried
to Hays and placed in the county
jail. Rev. Stalnaker has wife here
and she is prostrated over her hus-
bands actions.
1t now is reported in Ellis that Mr..
Stalnaker was forced to resign the
pastorate of the church in his former
home in southern Florida because of
irregularities. He is reported to be
indebted to almost every business
man in Ellis in sums ranging from
few dollars to a hundred dollars.
The child's name is Mabel Stall
maker, and she was an adopted
daughter as well as niece Stall
maker was unable to give bail in the
sum of five thousand dollars and was
committed to the county Jail until
Monday, when he will be given
preliminary hearing before Justice
f. E. McLain of Hays.-Capital.

THE ROYAL SHOW IN OCTOBER
A Fine Outlook Secretary Thompson's
Office in Kansas City.

The early prospects are for an
American Royal Live Stock show at
Kansas City beginning October that
will even more solidIy establish it in
the affections of live stock breeders.
A. M. Thompson, secretary, has
found the opening of offices in the
live stock exchange, Kansas City,
distinct advantage to the persons in
tereoted in the show, as they know
where to find him for personal inter
views or correspondence. Mr..
Thompson is this year receiving en-
tries in all the departments except
purebred cattle and poultry, and the
inquiries indicate not only big
show, but a nationally important
one as to the quality of entries, in
cattle, draft horses, sheep, swine and
goats.
The light harness horse show,
which will be given five nights, will
be a nationally interesting event, too;
for entries, not yet in shape to an
nounce, are arranged by men whose
names are known wherever horses
are sold.

1o1 Went 20 Miles an Hour

Engineer Ed. Pearson went Casey
Jones one better last Thursday morn
ing when he mounted to the cabin of
engine 1929 at Ellis, says the Sharon
Springs Times Casey died on the
Reno hill wishing for other roads to
conquer, but Mr.. Pearson lives to tell
the story
The ST. Louis-Colorado limited was
three hours late with the western
mail last Thursday when Mr.. Pear
son mounted to the cabin with his
orde.s iD his hand. Like CASEY he
felt that it was his duty to get the
western mail through on time, and
from the moment he left the Ellis
yards and started up the Ogallah hill
the big engine moaned and groaned
with increased speed, Finally when
the engine was brought to stand
still at Sharon Springs it was found
that Mr.. Pearson had made the run
of 126 miles in 2 hours and 43
minutes. To make this time it was
necessary to run 20 miles an hour in
many places to make up for time lost
climbing the hills. The Union Pa
cific is a fine railroad, the st. Louis
Colorado limited is a fine train and
Ed. Pearson is fine engineer. With
this combination he was sure to win.

Chautauquas

When first ChautauquaS made their
bids for public favor and support,
liked the kind of work they did, and
to their meetings would cavort. Then
there helpful ralk and song, cultur-
ed sport would make speech, and
some old chap with whiSkers long
would lariat a text and preach. No
freaks had jumped into the game,
and fakirs then were rightly spurn-
ed; the speakers oft were men of
fame-the sort of fame that's fairly
earned. But now 1 have some weary
signs when to Chautauqua tents L
go, for circus features tire the eyes;
it's like dog and pony show. A
dame returned from British jails
where she put in bunch of years,
stands up before the crowd and walls,
and gets applause that should be
jeers- The fake explorer stands and
boreS the crowd with stories of the
pole; the windy politician roars a long
and useless rigmarole- The latter
day Chautauqua plans embrace the
has-beens of all shores; ex-governors
and also fans, and all varieties of
bores. The program of next year,
methinks, will play up all the stand
ard freaks; the Juggling and glass
eating ginks, and bearded danes and
tatooed Greeks.-Walt Mason.

SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS
WANTS NO FREE SEED
Asks Northwest Part OF State to Join
in Working Out It's Own Salvation

Garden City, Kans., Aug. Awhile
northwest Kansas is appealing to the
Governor for an extraordinary session
of the Legislature to donate seed
! wheat to farmers, southwestern Kan
sas Indignantly refutes any imputa-
tion cast upon this part of western
Kansas, and is organizing incorporat-
ed wheat growers associations to
take care of the problem itself.
The situation is well presented in a
front page loaded editorial in today's
Evening Telegram here, which, under
the head, mo Help Needed Here, -
says:
Whatever may be- the situation in
northwest Kansas, no help is needed
here, and no one is asking the Gov
ernor for an extraordinary session of
the Legislature. Kansas, eastern
Kansas, Topeka and the Governor
might as well recognize that fact and
thus II southwest Kansas free from
any am that attaches to the news
now going abroad that western Kan
sas needs and expects help.
Southwest Kansas will always
work out its own destiny. 1t is doing
it today. Gray and Finney counties
have under way wheat growing cam
paigns of the most promising and
practical type. Boosting, believing
citizens are securing acreage from
those who can afford to buy seed and
through Incorporated associations
are furnishing the right kind of seed
70 - Il g.
ers under the right kind of contract
Kearney and Hamilton counties have
similar cam paigns, patterning after
Gray and Finney. John w. Baugh-
man, the leading citizen of Liberal
and Seward county, telegraphed the
Telegraph today for a full outline of
the plan here. Haskell and other
southwest Kansas counties are fol-
lowing suit. No one is asking for
wants it. No delegation has called
on the Governor and importuned him
for an extraordinary session of the
Legislature. No requests have gone
abroad, noue " III.
''Twenty-six years ago foolish folk
in western Kansas asked for aid from
the state and the Governor called an
extraordinary session of the Legisla-
ture. Western Kansas has never yet
been able to live down the odium of
that action. We want no more of it
now. Northwest Kansas may have
peculiar conditions, the Telegram is
not advised, but it looks to this
paper and to our people as though it
might pursue the same course as we
of southwest Kansas are doing.
Southwest Kansas believes in the
destiny and the future of not only
southwest Kansas and the incompar-
able Arkansas valley, but of all west
ern Kansas. Let northwest Kansas
join hands with southwest Kansas
and not go begging for seed or
bread. Capital.

Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock Yards, August
8, 1911.
Buyers pursued their policy of wild
ening the spread between the best
and the worst cattle today, although
in order to do it they had to add a
little to values of the best cattle,
and take off only a little from the
| lower grades. The run of Ii, 600 head
was not large enough TO permit of
much hammering, and dealers do not
believe there will be enough cattle at
any time IN the near future to hurt
prices much. Prime black heavy
steers brought s7.60 here today, and
yearlings reached S7.40, both new
high records for the year. Native
grass cattle are barely steady today,
best at So. so, for half fed wintered
steers, straight grassers going at
S5-25 to S6.25, Old Mexicos worth
S4-25r to s4.75. Some range cattle are
running from the Northwest, which,
together with larger receipts of quar-
antine cattle last ten days, has made
the condition that allows buyers to
depress prices on the cheaper cattle
Quarantines are selling meanly today,
principally because of lack of quality
in the offerings, though everything
in the steer line is 10 cents lower
than yesterday morning. Sales in
the quarantine division range from
S4-00 to $3.50 on steers, and S3 90 to
$3.50 on cows, a few heavy cows up
to $500, about the same range on
COWS as in the native division. Bulls
are lower than a week ago, at $500
to $3.50, calves about steady, top
veals S7.00. Stockers and feeders are
higher this week, good rains at
length having put confidence in coun-
try buyers, stock steers at $3.50 to
S.. 10, feeders 81. 25 to S.. so.
Hogs are distinctly on the up
grade, market 5 higher today, top
S7.65, bulk $7.40 to $3.50. Run is
only 1000 head here today, and the
supply has been dwindling fast here
for several weeks. 1t has now gotten
below the supply at this time last
year, and packers are forced to pay
higher prices here this week than at
Chicago, to get enough hogs to fill
fresh meat orders. Packers keep ex-
pecting the high prices to draw in
larger runs, but SO far they have met
nothing but disappointment, since
the return in prices. Top here yes
terday was same as Chicago top same
day, and bulk of sales was highest
here
Sheep and lambs evidently struck
the bottom last week, anyway there
have been no further losses this
week. Runs are fairly good, 1000
here today, market steady, best
lambs at s6-75, yearlings $3.50, wethers
s3.40, ewes 1925, breeding ewes and
stock stuff 81. so to $3.50. No feeding
lambs have come from the range as
yet, but there will be some soon, and
they are expected to sell around $3.50.
