MAY SUMMON GOV. WILSON
To Appear in Court Against Alleged
Blackmailers

New York, Dec. 13.-Presldent-
elect Woodrow Wilson may face in
court at Newark, N. j., Tuesday the
three men accused of threatening his
life A subpoena was issued by Unit
ed States Commissioner Richard
Stockton late yesterday for the presl-
dent-elects appearance and in order
to make this possible he postponed
the examination of the alleged black
mailers from Monday to Tuesday by
which time it is expected that the
Wilson family will have reached New
York from Bermuda.
The letters which Warren Dunn,
Jacob Dunn and Seeley Davenport,
are alleged to have addressed to Gov.
Wilson at Trenton, were opened by
Joseph p. Tumulty, the governor S
secretary. Mr.. Tumulty also sub
poenaed yesterday In case his tes-
timony as to the receipt of the let
tiers is accepted as sufficient proof,
Gov. Wilson may not be required to
testify. The issuance of the sub
poenas was described by Commission
er Stockton as a mere formality, but
the commission hoped the president
elect would appear, since he was the
proposed victim of the plot.
The threats in the letters we're in
demand of $4,000 or life, and one of
them reminded Gov Wilson of the
fate of Mckinley and the attempt to
kill Roosevelt The specific charge
on which the three men are held at
present is misuse of the mails. ia
cob Dunn is the alleged author of the
letters. All of the men are wood
choppers and ice-cutters and have
been known in the Mroris county re
gion for a number of years. The re
ports of their extreme lawlessness"
are denied by neighbors, who say
they were of IAN apparently harmless
sort"
Federal authorities intimated yes
terday that they had doubts Of be
ing able to hold the trio. The main
evidence is a similarity between the
handwriting in the letters and that
which Jacob Dunn employs.

WONDERS OF BAALBEC.
A Building Problem That Has Puzzled
Modern Engineers.

Baalbec, or Baalbek, Is the name
given ruined city lying in ancient
Coele, Syria, forty-five miles northwest
of Damascus.
There is nothing particularly re
markable about ruined city being
found in the locality mentioned, but
the size of the blocks of stone used
by the ancient builders Of this partic-
ular city is something that has puz-
Eled the modern engineers since the
day when Baalbec was first made the
Mecca of the oriental traveller.
There are immense stones on every
side Of the visitor to this ancient pile
Of ruins, but the three most remarka-
BILE blocks-said to be the largest ever
used in the construction of building
are in a wall back Of the temple of
Baal.
These immense stones are re3pec-
lively sixty-four, sixty-three and sixty
two feet in length and each Is thirteen
feet in thickness, but the most wonder
full thing in connection with them is
the fact they are at place in the wall
twenty-five feet from the ground.
How these immense blocks OF granite
were ever IT ised to such height is a
question that has never yet been an
Bwered.

A BATTLE IN THE SEA.
Wanton Slaughter When Bluefish and
Menhaden Meet.

Menhaden Meet.
Did you ever see bluehsh charge a
school Of menhaden at sea? That is
something worth seeing. The bluefsh
throw their lines forward until they al
most surround the menhaden, and they
attack them flank and rear. The men
baden fairly make the water boil in
their efforts to escape, while all FOUND
the enemy is at them tearing relent-
lessly.
Into all this commotion comes a
great shark. It's picnic for the shark,
q school of menhaden all herded up for
bis benefit 1t Swims leisurely into the
midst of them, opens its mouth and
takes In half a dozen menhaden at a
gulp. 1t swims around and bites out
half a dozen more from the school. It
gorges itself without effort.
But the menhaden are not nearly as
much disturbed by the presence Of the
monster swimming about among them
as they are by the charging bluefish.
The shark takes half dozen fish or
more at bite. while the bluefsh only
bites a piece out Of single fish, but
there is only one shark. while there
may be thousands of buefish plunging
and tearing incessantly and killing and
manning at every stroke.
The sharks a brute. but under such
circumstances the menhaden have less
Of fear than they have of contempt for

CROPS LOOK FINE THROUGH
THIS PART OF KANSAS

One of the finest motor trips a
person can take at this time OF the
year IL up the Smoky valley from
Junction City west. This Is the time
OF year when Kansas is at her best
and the crops through Dickinson,
Saline and Ellsworth counties were
never better than they are this year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Montgomery,
Mrs. John Montgomery and Miss Nor
row returned home from an overland
trip to Ellsworth yesterday and the
Golden Belt route over which they
travelled was as pretty a piece OF
road as one would wish to travel on.
out through Dickinson county the
wheat has been cut and in the shock.
Harvest is just on in Saline and
Ellsworth counties and the wheat is
high and of fine quality. The
fields are extra clean this year and
many of the large fields are a beau
tiful sight In the one color OF the
golden grain. The corn through sa-
line county is waist high and never
looked better. The Golden belt and
that is being advertised for the use
OF tourists is going to be one OF the
best continental routes and the
changes made in the past years have
made the route an ideal one to tour
over. From Junction City west the
entire distance is marked by the
Golden Belt signs and the road the
distance from this city to Ellsworth
has been worked and put in good
shape. Out through the Harker hills
the roads have been put in excellent
shape.-Junction City Union.

HERE is SOME CAMP AID
VICE FOR THE GIRLS

August is the best time for girls
camp. A party Of girls does not us
ually care to spend more than a few
weeks In camp and can avoid the
hottest weather in tho city BY camp
ing in August. Preparations should
be made Systematically. so that moth
ing will be forgotten. OF course II ie
necessary to be near some source OF
drinking water and II Is better TO
be where food may be easily obtained,
as 1t is not possible to take the
whole supply to camp at first and
have a good variety. The person
who is to do the cooking should be
consulted as to the utensils the stove
and other requirements.
Several members of the party who
are good managers ought to be chos-
en- to arrange for the tents, rugs ham
mocks, blankets, camp chairs, and
pillows. II you are planning to go
camping in the summer be sure to
take plenty of blankets and pillows.
They will always be In demand, espe-
cialIy when visitors come to the
camp.
A careful list ought to be made of
all the necessary toEet supplies
With thoughtful preparation, life in
camp can have almost as many con-
veniences as indoor life and still have
all the freedom of camp life.
A party of girls usually will pre-
fer athletic sports to lounging around
camp, and will enjoy every minute
of their vacation spent in this way.
The camp might be on the bank of q
creek where bathing may be INDUCED
in. Boating and fishing are other
pastimes which furnish pleasant
memories of the time spent in camp.
Long tramps taken to explore the
country round about the camp, es-
pecially on rainy days, are good ex-
ercise and a pleasant diversion. II
the camp is near any place where
horses are available, girls will enjoy
rides.
No one need ever fear that camp
life will be dull and full of privations
If It is entered into with the true
camping spirit, and with the idea. OF
good time and good recreation. II

ing instinct" that enjoy camping

FARMERS SHOULD GET
FLY SWATTING HABIT,

The fly about the stable and
farmhouse has too long been consid-
cred merely nuisance. Now we
know that flies are an actual menace
to health, because they carry disease
germs into our homes and milk
rooms, and to farm profits, since q
fly-worried animal will not produce
the maximum of milk nor make sat
isfactory growth. From the econo-
my standpoint alone fly control is
worthy Of more attention by farm
ers.
Flies do not congregate in hordes
unless they have something to feed
upon. Screens will not be wholly
effective unless aided by sanitary
precautions Nothing should be left
near the house or the barn which in
vites the disease-breeding fly to plant
his feet cheerfully in germs and then
bring, the said germs into the kitch-
en- and the dining room. There is
no getting away from the fact that
flies grow in filth. There is no more
need for such filth about barn as
there once was since the regular
hauling Of manure or storage in a
pit has been adopted to meet the de-
mands of the milk regulations. Eco
nomy in management will eliminate
the breeding-places. and flies will
become less cause of waste.-Coun.

6C. WAlCihttcl Dc
Chapman Advertiser: Sunday
morning, June Goth, the new bells
for the st. Michaeps Catholic church
were blessed by the Right Reverend
J. F. Cunningham, bishop of Concor-
dia, assisted by Rev. Father Corbe-
ly, of St. Marys, and Rev, Father
Daley. The sermon was very impos-
ing throughout. The church was
well filled long before the hour set
for the ceremony with members OF
the congregation and visitors.
At ten o'clock the choir began the
Aria and the procession of altar
Iys, priests and bishop moved down
the middle aisle to the church door
where the bells were stationed and
also the sponsors; members taken
from the congregation, twenty in
all, ten men and ten women. The
bishop and priests read the service
for the occasion.
After the blessing high mass was
offered and the sermon was deliver
ed by Rev. Father Corbely in which
he spoke in glowing terms OF the
Christian spirit of the members OF
the congregation for their endeavor
to keep up the faith that was found
ed here in Chapman over so years
ago, when twelve families first sub
scribed to build the first Catholic
church in the west or at least the
first west of St. Mary's Mission. In
those days the little old church
stood in the grave yard east of town
where the early settlers attended
service.
About thirty yearse ago the pres
ent church was built at cost of
about 1000, but the tower was
never completed. This year the Rev.
Father Daley undertook the compile
ton of the tower and it is near COM
pletion. In a few weeks the work
will be done and the bells will be
put in place.
Much credit is due Father Daley
for the improvements he has made
and is making around the church
property this year, the building OF
| the tower, putting in new steam
heating plant and the new bells maxi
ing several changes in the church
proper.
The tower when completed will be
"a feet high built Of native stone,
and is very costly piece of work,
costing $4,000. The steam heating
plant was put in at an expense of
$4,000 and the bells $4,000. The
bells are peals and there are only
two other sets in the state of Kan
sas. These are much larger and
heavier than any in the state, their
combined weight being $500 pounds.
The largest bell was donated by
members OF the parish and the sec
ond largest was given by T. w. Wa
dick in memory of his wife. The
smaller one was given by Miss Liz
zie illegal in memory Of her father
and mother.
The new improvements on the
church include an electric cross six
feet high that win be placed on top
Of the church. It viii be lighted
