XIII Jack Rabbits by WAGON Load.

Scott City, Kan.-The rabbit crop is
being picked in Scott county. In Oc-
tober the county commissioners offer
ed bounty of cents on jack rabbit
ears. A rabbit buyer seeing the great
possibilities of future wealth in deal
ing in the meat of the long-eared bun
MES offered an additional cents for
the rabbit, making 10 cents for each
rabbit killed. The men and boys have
had a whole winters sport and still
make enough to pay for their ammu-
milton. Three men with team and wag-
on with sideboards on brought in 500
rabbits as the result of one days Ia
Dor and Workmanship, the hunter max
ing no report as to the amount of am
munition used in killing this number.
Three thousand and five hundred rab-
bits were shipped out of Scott in four
weeks. This number made six car
loads. The farmers of Scott are very
glad to see the war or the rabbits, as
they are very destructive to the alfal-
ia fields, which are the pride of the
Western Kansas farmer.

DRUGlESS DOCTORS WILL QUIT
Chiropractors, After Conviction on
Two Counts Dismiss Appeal and
Will Leave State.

Liberty, Missouri-Amory Smith
and Nelson Smith, chiropractors, of
Excelsior Springs, pleaded guilty to
IA charges against them. They also
dismissed their appeal Of the two
cases they were convicted on two
weeks ago in the circuit court here.
The remaining AZ charges filed against
the doctors by James Simrall, pros
ecuting attorney, were dismissed. The
doctors were practicing without a
license from the state board of health.
In the two cases where convictions
were obtained the doctors were fined
$780, Judge Trimble placed their
fines in each of the IA cases at $50.
He paroled them on condition that
they cease their practice in Clay
county. The doctors were defended
by Lieutenant Governor Morris of
Wisconsin. Money for their trial was
supplied by a college in Wisconsin of
which the brothers were graduates.
This college was using the brothers as
pioneers to introduce the practice in
Missouri and Excelsior Springs was
the starting point.

WOMAN, AFLAME, JUMPS IN POND
Farmers Wife Probably Saved Her
self and Baby by Heroic
Courage.

Lawrence, KAMA farmers wife
her clothes in flames, ran screaming
across pasture near Reno, four miles
from here. In her burning arms she
carried her 7-month-old child. Its
dress also was blazing.
She was running to save their lives
in a pond. 1t was almost quarter
of mile from her kitchen door. AT
last only a stone wall separated her
from the friendly water. But it was
five feet high and she cried out in
despair.
Then she tossed her baby over the
divide. AS it splashed, the mother,
almost fainting, mounted the wall
and threw herself in the water beside
her child.
The doctors say that if Mrs. Hemp
hill shows the courage in bearing her
injuries that she did in saving her
child, both may recover.
No one knows just how the fire
started in her kitchen. Neighbors
who saved the house from burning
found an overturned kerosene can
beside the stove.

FEAR GIRLS CAN'T RESIST THEM
Young Men Organize to Protect Them
selves From Anticipated Leap
Year Proposals.

Wichita, Kansas.-The young men
of Valley Center have made ready
for the coming of leap year by the
organization of a society known as
the Sons Of Freedom. A mass meet
ing was held attended by all the
young men in town, at which speeches
were made and plans presented as
to the best methods to meet the prob
lens arising on the advent of 1912.
Many of those present felt that some
thing ought to be done to cure the
smarts of the many wounds suffered
from old-time "ults" and "mittens,"
the memories of which were still
fresh.
Several measures intended perman-
emily to deprive the young women of
the town of masculine company were
presented, but were lost on final vote.
Finally, as a compromise a resolution
designated as a declaration of indie
pendence" was drawn up, to which so
of those present signed their names.
The attempt to keep the object Of
the meeting from the girls was a
failure, and the girls are organizing
to form a society in retaliation. Re
monstrance from parents seem to have
little effect, and it is evident things
are to take place soon.

CHEROKEE JOINTlSTS HAPPY
Cases All Disposed of and None Will
Go to Jail or Pay
Fine.


Columbus, Kansas.-The liquor pros
ecutions brought in Cherokee county
by Judge Frank P. Lindsay of Tope-
ka, special assistant to Attorney Gen
eral Dawson, have been disposed Of
in the district court in the last few
days. And the net result is that no
jointist will have to spend day in
jail or pay one cent fine. Several
cases were brought against each
jointist.
The plan of disposing of the cases
is for the jointist to plead guilty in
one case and the others are dismissed.
That throws the cost of the dismissed
cases on the county. With the con-
sent of Lindsay, judgment is sus-
pended in the one case in which the
jointist pleads guilty. That relieves
him from going to Jail or paying
fine.
Cases not disposed of in that man
ner have been dismissed None have
gone to trial.

SEARCHED HOMES FOR LIQUOR
GOV. STUBBS' AGENTS SOUGHT
SECRET SUPPLY.
Three Leavenworth Residences Raided
Without Result-Attempted Set
Element on Money Basis.

Leavenworth, Kansas.-Unable to
find liquor in joints any more, j. e.
Johnson, assistant attorney general
and T. B. Armstrong, secret agent
of Gov. Stubs, are raiding residences.
Accompanied by the sheriff, they went
to the home of Richard Igel, an old
druggist.
They searched every room, even
that of Mrs. Igel and Miss lgel.
Trunks were broken open and their
contents scattered. The contents OF
closets were torn down, bureau draw
ers ransacked and cupboards search
ed. They even went into the attic
and searched packing cases which
had not been opened in years. In the
basement berrels Of potatoes and APP
pies were emptied on the floor.
In an hours work a few bottles of
old wine which had been in the cellar
for years were found. They had been
brought by the family from Europe.
They were confiscated.
Igel is the proprietor of drug
store in North Seventh street. The
store was visited after the Topeka
officers were through with the resi-
dence close by. The druggists gov
eminent license, which entitled him
to sell liquor for medical purposes,
was torn from the wall and confisca-
Gated. When Igel asked for an ex-
PLANTATION the raiders only smiled.
The officers went to the home of
H. Rabinowitz, one of the finest in
the north section of the city. The
house was searched from garnet to
cellar, but nothing was found. Then
in a search for account books, draw
ers were pulled out and their con-
tents scattered.
Another residence in the south Sec
ton of the city was raided but moth
ing found. This did not prevent the
officers serving the owner with a war
rant, however. They declared they
had evidence which convinced them
that he had received at least five
cases of beer from a Stillings, Mo-,
wholesaler last month.
1t was reported that the Topeka
officers have made repeated attempts
to settle with those whom they have
raided in their two visits here. The
basis of settlements is said to be a
fine of 500, $50 attorney fee, a
sentence of six months in the county
Jail and an immediate parole after
the money is forthcoming. None of
the propositions have been accepted.

Five More Arrested.

Junction City, Kan.-All late devel-

and dynamiting cases are being kept
secret by the authorities. 1t has de-
veloped, however, that five members
of Quirk's organization, Battery E, are
being held in custody. 1t is said they
are wanted as witnesses at the coming
preliminary hearing. Their names are
not made public. The government
authorities have declined to make pub
lie Quirks confession, so it is suppos-
ed their case is not complete. Whether
Quirk duplicates anyone but the per-
sons arrested is a matter of specula-
ton.

INVITATION GOT TO WRONG MAN
Gov. Hadley Invited to Prize Fight
at Moberly, Takes Steps to
Stop Bout.

jefferson City, Missouri-The Lyric
Athletic club of Moberly evidently
did not intend that Gov. Hadley
should receive one of its invitations
to a fistic contest which was ar
ranged for the night of December 10,
but someone sent the governor one of
the invitations with a protest from
citizens of Moberly. The governor
did nc. accept the invitation to be
present, but he sent a letter to F.
E. Murrell, prosecuting attorney of
Randolph county, stating that the
advertisement of the event showed on
its face that it was illegal, and ask
ing him to take steps to prevent the
contest. Among other events SEIZED
uled on the invitation were bouts by
four negroes ito a finish and for a
purse"

motive power of the Santa Fe rail
road, that heavier than air flying
machine, when constructed upon GER
tain fundamental principals, will right
itself and glide to the earth birdlike,
should it capsize in an "air pocket

position when at an altitude of 1000
feet. The glider, which is seven feet
wide and six feet in length, righted
itself before falling so feet. 1t sailed
earthward as gracefully as bird,
coming down in spiral glide. 1t
landed in a tree top, and although
one of the planes was damaged, the
glider bounded off, righting itself
again, and alighted on the ground in
a normal position. Aside from a
plane being torn by limb, the glider
was not damaged.
Business was suspended while hun
dreds watched three men in balloon,
in their attempt to drop something
still more modern in the flying world.
Moving pictures of the glider in
descent were taken by DR.. e. e. Son
nonstine, who was employed by the
Jacobs brothers. They will be shown
in a local theater.
