ROAD DIDN'T COME
So Gould City Failed to Make
It's Promoters Rich.
FOrty-Acre TOWnSite Is Now
Owned by Farmer.

Nicodemus, Kan, Aug. 14.-Way back
in the old stage days town was start
ed in the west part of Rocks county,
about a mile from the Graham county
line, and half mile north of the South
Solomon river and named Gould City.
Two men named Pence and Lyle, acted
as promoters o. the enterprise and they
Clipped in, bought 20 acres each for a
starter. T,-ere was at one time store
and blacksmith. The town was named
after the railroad magnates, who were
expected to push the Central Branch
railroad to it, from the tow and pull
Nicodemus, situated on the divide" a
few miles to the north, to the new
town. 1t is said that no less than half
a dozen railroad surveys were made to
&C Cld City in order to give the town a
boost so the owners of the 40 acres
could sell town lots to big advantage
The railroads didn't come to Gould
City, the town lot boom didn't material
ize and Nicodemus is still on the maps.
A big emancipation celebration is held
there every LIST of August but the rail-
road never reached the town. 1t is said

owned by a man named John Mathew

Municipal Moving Pictures.

Haven, Kan, Aug. 14.-Kansas has
one of the few municipal moving pic
ture shows in the country. 1t is at
Haven, a little town in Reno county.
If there is another municipality owned
moving picture house in the country
the directors of the different film
companies have no knowledge of 1t.
An officer of one of the largest Ameri-
can film companies said that Kansas
had the only house of the kind in the
country. Haven was so small that
there were no moving picture shows
and only occasionally would one be
given there by a travelling company.
Everyone in the little town enjoyed
the pictures. No one was willing, to
risk his money in building a moving
picture house, so all the business men
of the town Clipped" in enough to
buy the machine and the show was
started a month ago. 1t is great
success. The pictures are shown in
the town hall every night. An admis-
sion fee is charged to pay the operator
and the license on the films, which
are changed twice a week. When the
receipts are larger than the expenses
free shows are given until the fund is
exhausted or additional and special
films are purchased and the show is
increased and kept going with more
pictures until the fund is used up.

was not severed, but a cash sufficient

Rules of the prison prohibit making

apparent to others until one of them

up a knife and made a vicious Iunge
at the throat Of the other while the
two were engaged at their duties in
the bake shop. The victim of the at

Not in Favor of Suffrage.

wheaton, Kan, Aug. IL.
Editor of the State Journal:
We noticed in a recent issue of your
paper in commenting upon a speech
lady suffragette made at this place
during the old settlers picnic here the
latter part of July, that the majority
of the voters here were in favor of the
amendment giving the right of suf-
frage to women. Now, as a matter of
fact, the majority of the citizens here,
including the women, are not in favor
of it and are opposed to its getting
before the people at a general cleo
ton of male voters only. What we are
in favor of is to let the women decide
it by a vote at a special election held
exclusively for that purpose.
We think the women are as capable
of voting correcting and of holding Of
flee as the men, but think it should
be decided by the women themselves
and not be thrust upon them by the
majority vote of the men in the gem
eral election.

Wood of Braman, Ok, was in this
city talking with President Roser of
the Commercial club and others with
a view to finding out If Wellington
would considerI1a. proposition to Sc
cure natural gas cfrong near his town.
Mr.. Wood owns several farms near
Braman, and has some of the biggest
gas wells in Oklahoma on them. The
towns around him all have all the
gas that they need and he is looking
for market elsewhere, and figured
that he might find market for it
here.
The wells which Mr. Wood and
others near Braman own are only
from ten to twelve miles south of
the Sumner county line. and this is
not great distance to pipe it.
