PETITIONERS WIN
FIRST POINT
CORPORATION COMMISSION TAKES
JURISDICTION IN DOCK
CASE.
OVERULES DEMURRER
CASE WILL BE HEARD on IT'S
MERITS ON DATE NEXT WEEK
NOT YET
FIXED.

The city of Richmond and the pets.
tioning business men have won the
first round In the fight to compel the
owners OF the Richmond dock to keep
it in available condition.
Shortly before two o'clock yester-
day afternoon the state Corporation
Comm ission, after having heard argu-
ments OF counsel for three days, over
ruled the demurrer to the jurisdiction
OF the commission and likewise over
ruled the motion to dismiss the petit
tons, tho effect Of such rulings being
that the Corporation Commission
claims Jurisdiction over the dock and
its owners and will hear the case upon
its merits.
Relied on Demurrer.
Counsel for tho hond-holders' oom-
mittee relied on the demurrer to the
Jurisdiction OF tho commission, alleg-
ing from the outset that the said own
ers did not constitute n public SER
vice corporation and hence could not
come under the authority OF the COM
mission.
Arguments on tho jurtsd!ctional
question began on Wednesday morn
ing, we're continued on Thursday and
were concluded yesterday,
1t is believed tina. the decision on
the question OF jurisdiction FORE
shadows a complete victory for the
city and the business men who have
petitioned the commission to require
that the dock be kept in repair.
After deciding the question OF juris-
diction the commission continued the
further hearing of the case until such
day next week as shall be agreed
upon by counsel.
1t Is generally conceded that the
case will go to the suprAme court
should the commission eventually
decide against the bond-holders' COM
nittee and enter an order requiring
htem to keep the dock In repair.
Pending the result of the litigation

TO BUILD A HOSPITAL.

Rev. W. ]. Lind of Milberger In
forms us that he has decided to build
a hospital at Hoisington at cost Of
about $l0,OOOOO.
Rev. Lind was one Of the principal
ones back of the hospital proposition
last spring when an attempt was
made to get a $SO,OOO.OO hospital
built at Hoisington by subscription
but as crops were short and money
became tighter, the proposition was
given up. Rev. o. G. Heberstreit Of
this city was also much interested in
getting the big hospital built here bu
now has given over his support to
Rev. Lind.
A site has been selected on the
block west of W. H. Rice s residence
and work is already started on the
building which is to be a three story
brick veneer, with heating plant
lights and water. He does not ex
pect to leave the ministry but will dc
ministerial work at the hospital and
retain his charge at Wilson. Rev
Lind gives as his principle reasons
Tor building the hospital the fact thai
mis- health is not the best and his de
sire to re-enter hospital work. He
expects to have the hospital in charg

RECOGNITION OF THE WEST.

There is to be a convention in Oma
no October 8, 10 and II next, which is
of more significance to the people of
Western Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas
Kansas and Wyoming than any meet
ing that has been held at the Nilsson
n river for a long time.
This is the annual convention of
the Grain Dealers Nationl Associa-
ton, which is composed of elevator
owners, brokers, commission men,
track buyers and receivers Of grain
In nearly every state of the Union
from Minnesota to Florida and from
Wyoming to the Atlantic.
The Association has in the fifteen
years of its existence met in Minnie
apolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Buffalo,
Cincinnati, Peoria, st. Louis and
other grain growing centers, but this
is the first time the Gathering has
ever gone as far west as the Nilsson
ri river.
The reason Omaha has been select
ed as the city in which to hold the
convention in 1911 is because of the
great strides taken in the past few
years by the states named in develop
ing their cereal resources. The
growth of irrigation, the adoption of
dry farming, the planting Of trees
and the breaking in of new land have
all combined to encroach upon what
has heretofore been regarded as the
great arid west, until immense tracts
of land, believed some years ago to
have been of little value except for
grazing, have been brought under cul-
tivation.
It was this great stream of golden
grain pouring out of the Dakotas,
Nebraska, Wyoming, Kansas and
Oklahoma, that attracted the at
tenuon of the members of the Grain
Dealers National Association and In
duced them for the first time to hold
their convention In the Missouri river
country, where they could meet with
rhe western grain men through whose
thrift millions Of bushels of cereals
have been added to the worlds sup
ply About 1000 delegates from all
over the country win attend the con-
vention which is to be addressed by
soma Of the most prominent leaders
In the west, and when the grain men
return to their homes they viii know
more about that great empire be-
tween the Missouri and the Rockies
than they ever dreamed Of.

BIGGER THAN EVER.
The Pawnee County Fair at Larned,
Sept. IL, 13, IA and IS.

The Third Annual Pawnee County
Fair will be held at Edwards Park in
Larned, Sept. IL, 19, IA and Is, and
will be bigger and better than ever.
Pawnee county started out in 1909
to establish an annual fair. The first
fair was gotten up in five weeks and
was such a success that it was seen
at once that 1T should be placed on a
permanent basis. This was made pos
sible by the generous gift Of forty
acres of ground in the edge Of Lan-
ed by ]. G. Edwards, which should be
used for fair and park purposes.
The fair of 1910 was held on the
new grounds and was considered the
best agricultural exhibit in western
Kansas last year. The grounds are
equipped with ample buildings for ex-
hdbiting livestock and agricultural pro
ducts. The finest haf-mile track in
the western half of Kansas has been
built at a cost of $3,5OO.
The coming fair for 1911 will sur
pass that Of last year in every way.
More departments have been added,
and with the experience gained in
the past years the management feels
justified i'm predicting the most sue
cessful fair ever held in Pawnee couH
ty.
Premiums are offered in eight de-
partments, each presided over by a
superintendent chosen with particular
regard to his qualifications for the
place. The departments include cat
tie and sheep, horses, swine, poultry,
farm and garden, fruits and flowers,
arts and fancy work, pantry stores
and curio department.
There will be three days of racing,
Secretary T. C. Wilson assures us
that the field of horses will be much
larger than usual, and with the eX-
cellent track som good records should
be made. In addition to the horse
races there will be plenty of other
amusementS, contests, races, merry
gO+round, ferris wheel, carnival attrac
tiOns, band concerts, etc.
The Pawnee County Fair is not a
race meet, with a pumpkin show at
tachment. 1t is primarily an agricul
tlral fair and livestock show, with
good racing as one of its amuse-
ments. Everyone within a radius of
fifty miles should attend this fair.
Premium lists may be secured by ad-
dressing, T. C. Wilson, Secretary,
Larued, Kans.

Day. Two PcnCsEnwOOd and HOisingtODOnt Fail TO Attend
WHERE is THE HARM?

There is a disposition among the
State officials and law makers of Kar
sas TO be too puritanical, particularly
in regard to Sunday laws. A man
who lives in a large city and is con-
fined to store room or a factory six
days in the week wants a complete
change on Sunday. If he can play
ball there is no better change than
a game Of base ball, and II he cannot
do this. the next best thing Is to see
someone else play ball. Sunday should
be a day Of rest and day Of free
dom and on Sunday night If the
family does not feel disposed TO go
to church there is no better place to
spend an evening Than at the moving
picture show. 1t has been gratifying
20 see laboring men and their wives
and families taking in the moving pic
ture shows on Sunday nights in Lea
Eeuworh. Such places keep families
together and interest them all in the
same thing. Men and women take a
broader view Of life than they did
fifty years ago and the laws should fit
the times. A broad minded local min
ister was passing an opera house one
night some time ago in company with
several other church going people ant
ne stopped and gave few little fel-
lows who were hanging around the
door all Of the money he had In his
pockets so that they could go into tn,
show. His friends were shocked al
what he had done. His reply was:
When l was boy and had no fathel
or. mother the only Heaven for me
was 10 spend an hour in show
house and l judge other boys by my.
SELF The base ball game and the
moving picture shows are Heaven to
a great many people. Healthy amuse
ments ought to be encouraged; that
Is the way to make the world better
