CARRY YOUR OWN CUPS now.
Interstate Railroads Must Obey New
Federal Order.

Chicago, Ill.,, Nov. 2S.-PubIc
drinking cups on railroads engaged
in interstate transportation of pas
sengers are to be thing of the past.
This is assured by a communication
received at the Chicago offices of the
railroads from the treasury depart
ment at Washington, advising of an
amendment to the interstate quaran-
tine regulations expressly prohibiting
the use of common drinking cups
where the jurisdiction of the federal
government extends. Notification has
been given to medical officers of the
public health service and to state and
local health authorities as well as to
the railroads. This, it appears, will
complete the abolition of the drinking
cup, already begun by state action or
individual action by various railroads.
Action by the treasury department
is based, says the communication, on
the frequency of the spread of disease
by the use of the common drinking
cup. The amendment to the interstate
quarantine regulation is in part as
follows:
Common carriers shall not pro-
vide in cars, vehicles, vessels or con-
veyances operating in interstate traf
fic, or in depots waiting rooms or
other places used by passengers trav-

WHO OWNS LAND?
Once VanceI Farm Was Island
in River.
Now 1t Joins Steckel Farm and
SteckeI Wants 1T.

Great Bend, Kan, Nov. 2S.-A jury
has been impaneled in the Barton
county district court, Judge d. A.
Banta presiding, to try the case OF
Fred Steckel against r. j. Nancel IN
which the question of the ownership
of certain island lands in the bed or
the Arkansas river is involved
By a decision of the Kansas state
supreme court the Arkansas river is
held to be a navigable stream. An
island in a navigable stream is held
to be school land, and that it may be
settled upon as such. About year
ago Mr.. Vancel settled upon what he
claims was once an island, and has
proved up upon it under the theory
that it is school land. The land now
occupied by Mr.. Vancel, however, is
now a part of the main land, but it is
his claim that the land upon which
he is now was once an island and
that the channel of the river has
changed in such a manner as to make
it a part of the main land, but that
his land is what is known as riparian

land or has become attached to the
main land by reason of the river
some time in the remote past chang
ing its channel.
On the other hand it Is the theory
of Mr.. Steckel that the land now
owned by Mr.. Vancel is accretion land,
or land that has gradually been add
ed to the bank of the river through
the accumulation of silt, and that by
reason thereof he is entitled to the
possession of the land now being oc-
cupied by Mr.. Vancel.
This is the first time in the history
of the state of Kansas to decide
whether these Socalled islands were
in fact once upon time real islands,
or riparian islands, or whether they
are in fact accretion lands.

BURLINGTON Low GRADE LINE.
Contract Soon for First Connection in
Colorado.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 2S.-A contract
soon after on the proposed line of the
Burlington between Hudson and
Greeley, in Colorado. This is a short
bit of road designed to connect the
main line of the Burlington with the
Colorado & Southern, Hudson being
on the Denver main line of the Bur-
ington and Greeley being on the
Cheyenne-Denver line of the c. & s.
Burlington officials during the past
week went over the company'S prop
critics in Greeley, and arrangements
are now being made to contract for
construction.
This is a part of the Wyoming low
grade freight line plan, the idea being
to use the Burlington main line west
Hudson, the branch to Greeley and
the G. & S. from Greeley to Grin juno
ton on the Northwestern in Wyoming.
here connection will be made with
the Burlington's Powder river line
connecting up the Nebraska system
with the Wyoming system via new
route.
More than year ago it was an
nounced this line would be built and
some real estate was secured in Gree
ley and right of way purchases were
undertaken. It is planned to have this
line ready for use by the time the
Wyoming extension is connected at
Powder river with the Northwestern.
Ordering this line built at this time is
taken as an indication that the Bur-
lington will close trackage right con-
t. Ict with the Northwestern for use
of the line between Powder River sta
ton and Grin Junction. During the

GIRL TELLS PTTIFUL TALE.
Father Abused Her More Than Four
Years.

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov. 28.-One of
the worst cases of depravity ever
brought to the attention of authorities
here was revealed with the arrest of
Robert Cardwell, of Macksville, on the
charge of improper relations with his
12-year-old daughter, Hazel Cardwell,
the father having confessed to his crime,
which has extended over a period of
four years. during which time the child
has been forced to take drugs.
Cardwen waived his preliminary
hearing and was bound over for trial
at the February term of court. He was
brought to the Reno county Jail by
Sheriff J. B. Kline, of Stafford county.
CardwelPs relations with his daugh-
ter might have never been discovered
but for the fact that he became drunk
about a week ago and beat the little
girl. When she was approached by
playmate who inquired the cause of her
crying, she told her story. The story
soon reached the ears of Sheriff Kline,
who arrested the man. CardweI con-
fessed.
The little girl told Sheriff Kline that
her father had purchased drug which
he forced her to take regularly. Mr..
Kline says that the girl is a bright look
ing little girl, slightly small for her
age. Cardwell is a tall, rawboned man
of about 35 years Of age.

MERCHANTS FEEL SHORTAGE.
On Branch Lines Cars Can Not Be
Secure.

Larned, Kan, Nov. 2S-Despite the eff
forts of the railroads to relieve the car
shortage the situation grows daily worse
in western Kansas. 1t has now reached
a stage where the merchants are begin
ming to suffer well as the farmers.
Shortly after harvest, when the market
was low, farmers paid little attention to
the shortage but since wheat has gone up
to a reasonable figure they are anxious
to sell. This they are unable to do in
a majority of localities as elevators are
filled and grainmen refuse to buy. Every
elevator on the Jetmore branch and most
of those on the Scott City and Darned
(Missouri Pacific branches are filled.
The situation is similar in most small
towns on the main lines and recently
most of the time except in a few of the
largest cities. If the farmers cannot sell
their grain they cannot pay their creditors
and, as this section is largely agricultural,
the merchants are likewise suffering. Re
lief measures such as improvised bins and
the piling of wheat on the ground have
gone so far as to be hazardous and are
now abandoned.
