GOVERNMENT SAYS HE is DEAD
Kansas Man Refused Civil War Pen
sion Because of Error in De-
partment Records.

Topeka, Kansas.-The Topeka pen
sion agency has received notice from
Washington that William H. Cooper
of Kansas City, Kan, while he may
be very much alive, is dead officially
and must remain so. Cooper former
ly lived at Garnett and is trying to
get a pension for service in the Civil
war, but the government refuses to
pay a pension to dead man.
In the fall of 1861 William H.
Cooper joined the army and served
until December 10, 1862, when he re-
turned to Garnett on a furlough.
While at home he met and married
his wife, who is still living. When
his furlough expired he was i'll and
Samuel, his younger brother, went to
Leavenworth and took his place in
the army. The name was never
changed and Samuel served in the
war under the name of William.
February IA, 1862, Samuel died Of
typhoid fever was brought to Gar
nett and buried. The government
records show that it was William
Cooper who died, because the name
was never changed. When William
applied for "a pension it was denied
him because the government record
shows he is dead.

KANSANS URGED TO
USE SEED CORN TEST
Details inexpensive Apparatus Whicn
If Used lnteIlgentIy Would Save
Farmers Money.

Topeka, Kan.-Farmers are urged
by the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege to test their seed corn. 1t is stat
ed that 80 per cent of the seed corn is
planted without test. 1t is pointed out
that if only one of every twelve ears
planted is worthless, that the loss VIII
be from 50 to So per acre.
The agricultural college has worked
out termination test, which Is neith-
er expensive nor difficult. A number
of termination boxes two or three
inches deep and from two to four feet
square are needed. These boxes should
be filled with sand or soil and small
copper wires stretched over them In
such way as to divide the surface OF
every box into two-inch squares. Ev-
cry box and every square should be
labeled.
Select ears and remove six kernels
from each one, two from near the tip,
two from the center and two from
near the butt. Place these kernels IN
the squares in regular order, keeping
the grains from different ears in separ-
ate squares, so that if the grains in
any square fail to germinate, the ear
from which they came may be discard
ed.
After the kernels are in the boxes
the soil should be thoroughly wet and
two or three folds of wet paper or
cloth placed over the grains. me
boxes should be covered with boards
to prevent the evaporation of moisture
and put in a warm place. Examine the
corn after five or six Gays and If more
than one kernel in any square has
failed to germinate, do not use for
planting, the ear from which the
grains in that square were taken.
BY this method enough corn to seed
an entire field can be effectually ana
economically tested.

ures.

Earmer klIIs aLobov near EmpOrIa

Emporia, Kan.-John Hinshaw, who
lives one and one-eighth miles east
of the center of Emporia, recently
shot and killed a gray wolf, or lobo,
which had become entangled in the
barbed wire fence of Mr.. Hinshaw's
pasture. This variety of wolf is un-
usual in this section of the country.
And Mr.. Hinshaw's theory is that it
was driven from the north by cold and
hunger. He will have the skin dressed
and will use it for a rug.

Topeka, Kan.-Kansas has state
travelling library which actually traV-
els. Twenty-Five thousand OF its 4O,-
900 volumes are in circulation during
the major portion of the year. Through
the summer months, the demands are
not as heavy. During the hot wealth
er period the reading public of Kan
sas contents itself mainly with light
fiction.
Kansas people are good readers and
are choice in their selections. The
classics in fiction, like Dickens and
Eliot are popular with them; are
showing much increased inclination
toward books which may be broadly
classified as educational" The num-
ber of applicants for books who are
students in the broad sense of the
word is increasing constantly, and
Mrs. Adrian Greene, the librarian, un-
der whose charge the library has de-
ever be called upon to face. He de-
ton to the demands for educational
literature. The Kansas travelling IL
brary has been for some time, and IS
becoming more so, an important ad-
iunct to the extension work, in certain
phases, of the state university and the
Kansas Agricultural college.
There are twenty-five fixed" collec-
tions in the travelling library for the
state university extension work, there
being five to fifteen books to a col
lection. Chiefly they are made up OF
English and American history, Amer
lean and English literature, psychol-
ogy, sociology and education. They go
to students who are taking the state
university extension courses.
The adjunct to the state agricultural
college extension work is rather new
departure, but it is intensely interest
ing and worth while. Three complete
libraries on domestic science for this
work have been made up. At some oil
the farmers institutes groups Of 70
to 100 women have been taking the
work, using the libraries as text books
Libraries of books pertaining to
home matters are being perfected and
take up matters vital to every family
AS an illustration of the scope they
cover, the titles of few are: Person
al Hygiene, Study of Child Life
Household Management, The House
Food and Dietetics, Textiles and Cloth
ing. care of Children, Feeding of Chill
dren, Home Care of the Sick, Tex
Book of Nursing, The Woman Whc
| Spends, Primers of Sanitation and Hy
gfene and The Cost of Cleanness.
Taking the whole library generally
the books broadly may be CLASSIFIED
as fiction, biography, history, domes
tic and political economy, science, ed
ucation. A collection of art has beer
commenced and now makes up five
galleries, each containing from sixty
five to eighty pictures. They are from
the Dutch and Flemish, English
French, Italian and German schools
of painting. They are prepared anc
arranged especially for students ol
art and are much in demand
Among the classic" fiction list
Scott Eliot, Dickens, Shakespeare
Hawthorne, Irving and Thackeray are
prime favorites. Among the poets
Longfellow, Whittier, Tennyson, Burns
and the Brownings are popular.
Groups of readers send for the libra
ries, which are boxed out, fifty in
collection. The readers make theil
own selections. 1t is estimated thai
sixty-six persons read each library
sent out and that they read an aver
age of five books from the collection

of the controversies between employ
er and employe that has been pro-
posed within the last two or three
decades. The old rules of liability
under the common law were adapted
to different age and condition and
were evidently drawn by men imbued
with the Importance of preserving the
employers from burdensome or unjust
liability. 1t was treated as per-
sonal matter of each employe and
the employer and the employe were
were put on level of dealing which,
however it may have been in the
past, certainly creates injustice to
the employe under the present condi-
tions
One of the great objections to the
old common law method of settling
questions of this character was the
lack of uniformity in the recoveries
made by injured employees, and the
representatives of those who suffered
death. Frequently, meritorious cases
that appealed strongly to every sense
of human justice were shut out by
arbitrary rules limiting the liability
of the employer. On the other hand,
often by perjured evidence and the
undue emotional generosity OF the
jury, recoveries were given far in
excess of the real injury, and some
times on facts that hardly justified
recovery at all. Now under this sys-
tenn the tendency will be to create as
nearly a uniform system as can be
devised; there will be recoveries in
every case, and they will be limited
by the terms of the law so as to- be
reasonable.
The great injustice Of the present
system by which recoveries of YER
diets of any size do not result in
actual benett to the injured person
! because of the heavy expense of the
litigation and the fees charged by the
counsel for the plaintiff will disap'
: pear under this new law by which the
fees of the counsel are limited to a
very reasonable amount. The cases
will be disposed of most expeditions
ly and the money will be distributed
for the support of the injured person
over a number of years so as to make
it's benefit greater and more secure
! OF course the great object of this
act is to secure justice to the weaker
party under sexisting modern condi
tions, but result hardly less i'm
portant will follow from this act that
l can not fail to mention.
The administration of justice to
day in clogged in every court by the
great number of suits for damages
for personal injury. The settlement
for such cases by this system viii
serve to reduce the burden of oul
courts one-half by taking the cases
out of court and disposing of them. by
this shorS cut. The remainder of the
business in the courts will thus have
greater attention from the judges anc
will be disposed of with much greater
dispatch.
In every way therefore, the act de
mands your earnest consideration
and | sincerely hope that it may be
passed before the adjournment of this
session of congress.
There accompanies the letter o.
transmittal of senator Sutherland no
only the report of the commission
but also the hearings of witnesses b!
the commission, all of which is here

WOMEN GO To COURT
OVER BILL FOR CATS

Resident OF Evanston Tries to Replev-
in Felines from Acquaintance, Who
Demands $13 Board for Family
During Absence.
Chicago, Ill.-Because an aristo-
cratic Angora cat held views on race
suicide at variance with the residents
of Evanston, three society women of
the suburb have become entangled in
a dispute which has found its way in
to the courts.
The entire trouble started because
the cat indiscreetly gave birth to
thirteen kittens while on visit" at
the home of Mrs Chas A. Miner, 1901
Chicago avenue. Evanston. Tabby
had been taken to the Miner home
By Mrs. Margaret Tooke, 1246 Hin
man avenue who was keeping it for
Mrs. w. T. Jefferson, 1905 Ridge ave-
nue. while she spent t he winter
on the Pacific coast.
Shortly after Mrs. Jefferson left
Evanston Mrs. Tooke discovered
that her bulldog and the cat did not
"get along" well. Accordingly, she
took the cat to Mrs. Miner and asked
her If she would keep it during the
owners absence. -,. ft-.ls
All went well until Mrs. jefferson
returned last week. When she and
Mrs. Tooke went to get the cat from
Mrs. Miner they learned that the at
family had been increased by the
number thirteen. Moreover, Mrs
Miner mentioning the amount of milk
consumed by healthy kittens, refused
to part with either cat or kittens until
$13 board had been paid.
Thirteen seems to be Mrs. Tookes
unlucky number. On May 13 she
