Fair Warning.

1t is the intention Of the Car
thagc Special Road Commissioners
TO commence enforcing the law in
their district regarding the cutting
of hedge fences 70 a height of not
more than five feet-and the law
forbidding the placing of any OBJ
structions on the right-of-way Of
any road in their district as pro-
vided in sections toS26, Io528 and
Ios33 Of the Missouri laws.
lnasmuch as this law has been
practically a dead letter, and as
the commissioners do not wish to
be unduly harsh in enforcing these
laws; for thirty days we will say
to land owners and others respon-
sible for any Of the above offenses.
PLEASE
cut hedges to at least feet in
height and remove all Usage, or
ange or other brush, trees, stumps,
logs and other refuse or debris
from the road side and bitches,
1t is to be hoped that every good
citizen will promptly comply with
this request. II. G.. GRIFFIN.

'Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. Ct aid

II shall plead guilty in the United
States district court. If I don't they'll
stick me and I if do the judge may
show me leniency. They have the
goods on me- McCrea, after I helped
him, told them everything he knew"
This statement was made by Charles
Coffee after his arrest at Omaha on
the charge of assisting a prisoner to
escape from the federal prison.
Two deputy marshals who were
taking Charles Coffee to Topeka to be
tried on a charge of aiding a federal
convict to escape, stopped here to
leave two convicts at the federal peni-
tertiary. Coffee, while waiting at the
gate of the prison until the two con-
victs were admitted, confessed to a
reporter that he was guilty.
.'McCrea told me that his father was
dying" he said. He wanted to see
him before he died. I wouldn't con-
sent to aid him at first, but he begged
me fer nearly a month and I finally
yielded.
'McCrea made all arrangements.
When I was discharged I bought a
suit of blue clothes for him at Sec
ond hand store in Leavenworth. 1
left them at place he selected on
the reservation. That is ALL

clothes Coffee left for him in the
brush and escaped. st. Joseph police
recaptured him and returned him to
the penitentiary. McCrea made a
second attempt to escape two weeks
later, but a guard caught him near
the prison.
There is no alternative for me ex-
cept to plead guilty" continued Coffee.
"McCrea has 'coughed up to the Off
GERS inside" Coffee nodded his head
towad the prison gate.) He is no
friend of mine. I was soft I listened
to his story about his dying father"
Coffee does not think he will be sent
back to the federal penitentiary He
believes his pleading guilty will influ-
ence the JUDGE to send him to jail only.

farmers So you see we have knotty
problem to solve.
while the fiscal year ending June
80, 1911 was the Santa FEES greatest
year, there has been a decrease in gross
revenue during the three months this
wear. which may be attributed to sew
eraI causes. The extremely hot wealth
er and long summer, lasting until Oc-
tober 1, delayed the purchase by the
merchants Of fall stocks and affected
materially the sale of fall and winter
goods. This, no doubt, had some effect
on the transportation OF high class
merchandise since June. The move
nent of grain was not as heavy dur
ing the months of July, August and
September as for last year. and it Is
presumed that the farmer and the
grain dealer have been holding Tor bet
ter prices, as shown by the storing OF
grain in the elevators to their fullest
capacity The condition of the pastures
in the early summer, owing to lack 81
rain, and then their improvement in
the fall has possibly kept the live
stock in the pastures longer than usual.
There has not been a heavy movement
of construction and building materials
during the summer months
Notwithstanding this decrease ID
gross revenue, the Santa Fe manage
ment continues its policy of keeping
the property in good physical condition,
and. in addition, is spending and will
spend large sums of money on double

PROPER TREATMENT FOR
CATARRH

The first thing to be done in the
treatment of Catarrh is to begin the
use of medicine that will have a
direct effect on the source of the dis
ease; in no other way can any cura-
tive progress be made. S. S. S. does
this more quickly and satisfactorily
than any other medicine, 1t is the
most penetrating of all blood puri-
fers, thoroughly, yet gently, expell-
ing all catarrhal matter and impure
ties from the circulation, and by its
fine tonic properties Strengthening
and building up the system in such
healthy manner that it is enabled to
overcome the depressing effects of
Catarrh. Some local treatment is
often desired to open the air passages
of the head and nose and relieve the
congestion and tickling" of the
throat, and other unpleasant symp-
toms. There are many helpful meas
ures which may be resorted to, and
there are others which may be harm
full, and to aid Catarrh sufferers we
have prepared a special treatise on
the disease which will be of great
value to any who suffer with this
trouble. This book together with
any medical advice free to all who
write and request it. Take S. S. S
regularly and according to directions,
and it will certainly remove the cause
and cure your Catarrh. S. S. S. is
sold at drug stores.

Possibilities of Washburn Team
Shown in K. q. Game.
OutpIayed in Most
Departments Saturday.
DELANEY SAVES DAY
His Kicking Alone Prevents De-
feat Of His Team.
Washburn Advances Ball 345 to
X. US 900 Yards.

The possibilities at Washburn for a
football team were clearly shown Sat
urday when the Blue gained 345 yards
of ground to 265 yards gained by Kan
5as. Without Delar ey'S three drop field
goals, WaShburn would have won to
5 becau TomlinSon got his goal after
touchdown while Delaney failed. While
Delaney Kicks we're all easy from
near the &c yard lire, he deserves credit
for taking the game Furthermore it
was his superb punting which sept
Washburn beaten back from the Kan
sas goal.
Kansas was forced to use the best
they had in men and plays, dope dis
patches from the Lawrence camp not
withstandlng. Kansas men said after
the game, the te9fu had used plays
they had not used before this season
1t is safe to say they called in every
thing they consluere5 advisable 1t is
only poor spOrtSmanship which causes
pre-game writers from the school r
respondents at Lawrence to send out
stories to the effect that SecOLd teams
and only the simplest plays will be
used It takes credit from the Open
cit who puts up a plucky fight because
many people do not know the players
in the lineup and have no way to know
the truth.
Blue Works Forward Pass.
Washburn gained 81 yards on for
ward passes and Kansas Al. Washhurn
Kansas gained on three and failed on
five Both teams used poor judgment
in passing on the third down, WASH
burn losing the ball three times by
passing and Kansas twice.
Washhurn made first downs 10 times
to Kansas g. Washburn lost the ball
z times to Kansas 6. Washburn lost the
ball three times on passes, twice oa
funlbles and twice on plunges. Kansas
lost it twice on passes, once by tumble,
and twice on plungeS.
delaney Punts $50 Yards.
Deianey's punting was an excellent
exhibition of consistent kicking He
punted 480 yards on his II chances,
or an average of 40 yards punt. This
served to offset the ground gained by
Washburn in breaking through weak
uoints in the line and actually saved
Kansas the game. Bishop failed to
show his practice form. He had been
kicking from 40 to so yards all week.
Saturday he seemed to misjudge his
distance back of the line and was slow
in booting the ball, SO that two OF his
kicks were blocked, another went out
of bounds not Is yards away. and in
hts six tries he punted only 125 yards,
or about 21 yards each. Smiley punted
better than Bishop, getting 40 yards
out of four tries, or 80 yards average.
Tonlinson place-kicked out after
tcuchback for 80 yards.
Washburn attempted one place kick,
but the pass was bad and Smiley FUN
bIed the ball, and then tried to make
a forward pass and lost the ball. De-
