get Indictment, the storm sewer will

makes the ditch deeper and the final
work Of shaping the last two feet

Uncle SAINTS poatoftice department

may be, in Saline county and recent
Ily communicated orders to the carrier

III q bad road about miles north
of salina. between sections in | and
4 In Elm Creek township. has been
made passable. and there have been
several days out Of the past few
weeks that the people living north
Of the bad stretch Of road have re-
ceived no mail without coming to
Salina to get 1t.
The road in question Is a county
road and there has always been
some misunderstanding as to wheth-
er the road was 40 feet or so feet
wide. Those living in that vicinity
have on two or three occasions taken
advantage Of the doubt" as to the
proper width Of the road, and in
order to better conditions have start
ed to work to widen the road, and
dig a ditch on the east side Of the
road. But the work has been stop
ped BY Mrs. Mary Ann Saunders who
owns the tract east Of the road. She
started trouble by refusing to let
the road be dragged and kept in
shape and later started to fence off
what she considered her land.
The postoffice department is pre-
pairing to send out over the country
the new rules regarding the main
tenance Of the roads and the condi-
ton they are to be kept in, and every
rural carrier will be the Judge Of
good or bad roads. II road is bad
and is not put in shape the carrier
may notify the department who can
not suspend the route, but that Sec
tion Will be discontinued. II route
is once discontinued it will take q
lot Of work to get 1t reinstated.

MT. J. Alt Of Denver went through
the city on a long drive. Mr.. AIT
started from Denver with his horse

a rain for the past eleven months.
AT Kit Carson he spent several days.

his impending retirement except that
he intends to get o degree from the

SPOTS has been in school five
years. But don't imagine that he
is d member Of the idle rich classes
that come to college with valet
and a touring cRr--the sort that
has been causing Chancellor Strong
and the board Of regents mental
anguish in the last year or two.
"Parson'' Is one of the men to whom
the college authorities point with

handicap. he is popular with the
students, too. NJ
Last year Spottss got his A. b.
degree from the college. This year
he is in the law school, from which

He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa,

tanning $3.50 was taken. Mr.. Kreps

Farmers Union III Having \ Scrap
Over Il,

Does tho Kansas penitentlary
Irvine plant sell twine direct TO the
FARMERS or doesn't 1T
The Farmers Union, published in
eallna and the official organ Of the
state farmers union says in its last
tissue, that the twine plant has re-
fused to sell direct to farmers, and
WIN market its product exclusively
through dealers. It prints letter
written by George Ruede cashier Of
the Irvine plant, stating that the
board Of directors has decided to
ship no Irvine to any customer who
does not have regular place Of
business.f'
The Farmers Union says that the
Irvine plant specifically refused to
ship any Irvine to individual farmers,
In order to get Mr.. Ruede's side
81 the case,sa letter was addressed by
the Salina journal to Warden Cod
ding stating that the Farmers Union
was dissatisfied with the April 8 rul-
ing. The following is part Of the
reply:
Your letter Of inquiry to Warden
Codding has been referred to me for
reply. 1t seems strange that the
Farmers Union has sprung any COM
plant Of this kind when they are
at present holding 1900 pounds
Of our Irvine over from last year,
and have an accepted order to fill
for 10000 pounds more for delivery
this season. This hardly looks as
though we were refusing to treat
farmers as dealers when they organ
ize as businessmen. All we require
|is that the Farmers Union be oper-
ating a regular business, and they
are then treated as other business
men are treated; we cannot, however,
give the same prices and terms to
individuals for small amounts or
farmers clubs, with no business rat
ing, or business organization, as we
give to regular businessmen or Far
mers Unions carrying on a regular
business.
Previous to the adoption Of our
present policy in selling our product,
the annual sales were very much
less than the production Of our mill,
the farmers evidently not wishing to
|send cash in advance, several weeks
before harvest and run the risk Of
the crops going back on them, while
last year, after the adoption Of the
policy of selling to dealers outright,
we had our production sold before
the harvest season was over and had
great difficulty in supplying the de-
mand until its close.
We do not decline to sell to tndi-
vidual customers at retap prices,
making a difference of one cent q
pound between wholesale and retail
rates but prefer to deal with the
trade rather than individuals, on
account Of being able to do more
business with the same amount Of
help. This you will readily UNDER
stand, and | hope the explanation
will be fully satisfactory,-Geo.
Ruede, Supt.
The facts are that the state has
for years been running opposition
to the implement dealers and trying
to sell Irvine to the farmers but
could not make a success. Now It

them lower prices than it does the

OTHER EXCITING SCENES.

The exciting scenes in the chamber
OF the Common Council last night have
set in motion the reproductive faculties
OF the brains OF some of the older
citizens, and their minds have gone
back over two-score years when actual
collisions took place in that board.
Shortly after the close OF the civil war
two well.known and prominent citizens,
who we're members OF the lower board
OF Council at the time, engaged in fiisti-
cuffs which came near involving all the
other members. The scenn was thrill
ing as we'll as unfortunate. The bel
ligerents were secured as soon as pos
sible and kept apart before any mate
rial damage resulted to either. An
other combat OF a more serious nature
followed closely in the wake Of the first
when a fusilade of inkstands kept
members and spectators lodging for
few minutes. A well-known member
from the First ward acting upon the
principle prevailing at the Donnybrook
Fair strike head wherever you see
it"-hurled an inkstand at random
which struck his colleague squarsly in
the breast. The victim was attired at
the time in an immaculate white vest.
The bottle was broken and the vest
thrown out OF commission.
A few years later still more serious
ARRAY occurred in the chamber of the
Common Council during joint ses-
sion, when q city official was knocked
down by all Alderman. Several street
fights have occurred during the past
forty years between Councilmen which
we're brought on by harsh words used
during debates. One mill" consisted
in wallowing match between two
portly city fathers, neither of which was
hurt, aud another encounter half q
square from the first when the then
mayor OF the city broke his cane over
the body of a young member OF the
Common Council. Let us hope all
representatives OF the city will discard
war paint in the future and the bust
ness OF the city be conducted decently
and in orders.
