Gun-Powder Makes Good as Fertilizer

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Many
hundreds of years ago the advocates
of peace advised that swords be turned
into pruning forks but it has remain
ed for Uncle Sans ordnance depart
ment to hit upon the plan of using gun
powder for fertilizer.
During the war with Spain large
quantities of brown gunpowder were
purchased. The explosive is now of no
value for military purposes and for
several years the ordnance department
has been trying to find some method of
getting pack part of the money expcnd-
ed in this purchase. Small quantities.
of powder will be submerged until
it is soft enough to spread over fields
and experiments will be conducted to
crops. If it is a success, Uncle Sam
will dispose of the gunpowder to farm
ers at a bargain price. If it fails, the
powder will be taken out to sea and
dumped overheard.
Great quantities of black POWDER.
purchased in 1898 have been used for
firing salutes and as ignition charges.
But the. brown powder is dead stock,
experts say, unless it proves sue

In the collapse of the Clan, sporitic
manifestations Of the great work or
disintegration that was going forward
and which the judge, more than any
other, perhaps, had brought about.
This was something no one ques-
toned, and he quickly passed to the
first phase Of that unique and peculiar
esteem in which he was ever after
held. His fame widened with the sue
ceeding suns; he had offers OF help
which impressed him as SO entirely
creditable to human nature that he
quite lacked the heart to refuse them,
especially as he felt that In the i'm.
provement of his own condition the
world had bettered itself and was
moving nearer those sound and right
eous ideals of morality and patriotism
which had never lacked his indorse-
ment, no matter how inexpedient 1t
had seemed for him to put them into
practice. But he was not diverted
from his ultimate purpose by the
glamour of present popularity; he
was able to keep his Dleared eyes
resolutely fixed on the main chance,
namely the Fentress estate and the
Quintard lands. 1t was highly i'm
portant that he should go east to
South Carolina to secure documentary
evidence that would establish his own
and Fentress' identity; to Kentucky,
where Fentress had lived prior to his
coming to Tennessee.
Early in November the Judge set
out by stage on his journey east; he
was accompanied by Yancy and Han
nibal, from neither of whom could he
bring himself to be separated; and as

It was not strange that number OF

that the initial steps looking toward
the indulgence of their desires should
have been taken in secrecy. Mr.. Peg

says?" he had asked, his fat sides
shaking.

than l would most folks" answered
Mr.. Saul with conviction.
Pegloe promptly had sinking spell.
He recalled the snuffing Of the can
dies by the Judge, an extremely de-
pressing memory under the circum-
stances; also the reckless and head

had characterized SO many OF that

to pinion his arm.

free, and the crowd swayed to right
and left as Fentress was seen to
reach for his pistol.
Mr.. Saul made last frantic effort
to restrain his friend he seized the

pressed the trigger, and an instant
later Fentress staggered back with

CHEROKEE COUNTY JOlNTlSTS
HAVE BEST OF STATE SAYS

Who Know Little of Kansas Laws
Local Officials Will Not AS

latiVe Attention.

Topeka, Kan.-Attorney General
county jointists and booze peddlers
Just about have the best of the state
legal department and that they de-
mand legislative attention. In fact,
he admitted that he had offered such
suggestion to the legislature in his
biennial report to the governor.
What could the legislature do in
such a case?" was asked.
What could it do?" was the reply.
"Why it could make provision for men
to go down into Cherokee county and
stay there until the liquor traffic had
been stamped out. 1t could do like
Texas \did when it created the Ran
gers or like Pennsylvania did when
it established the Mounted Police
There are plenty of things that could
be done by the legislature and it is
my belief that it must do something
before certain sections of Cherokee
county have been cleaned up
Mr.. Dawson has had a great deal of
trouble enforcing the prohibitory law
in Cherokee aud Crawford counties.
He has spent a great deal of his con-
tngept fund in that fight and has
won only partial victory. He dis
cusses the situation in his biennial re-
port.
Crawford and Cherokee counties"
he says, "were settled by fine old
American stock and were originally
devoted to agriculture. But in time
coal, zinc, lead and other minerals
were developed and as Kansas men do
not readily take to underground labor
It became necessary to bring in thou
sans of miners from foreign lands,
principally from the countries about
the Mediterranean sea. These people
knew little about Kansas laws and
Kansas institutions. They became the
prey of a small but Influential class
of people who sold liquors in violation
of law. The open violation of the pro-
hibitory law in the mining districts of
these two counties continued for over
twenty years. Early in my term l un-
dertook to stamp out this traffic. In
Crawford couny l have been tolera-
bly, successful In Cherokee county |
cannot say much, although | have
made hard fight The open saloon
does not exist but there is an enor-
nous sale of intoXicants under the
thin disguise of Interstate commerce
and otherwise. 1t has been almost I'M
possible for me to get the local auth
critics to take vigorous and persistent
action against the yiolators of the
law; and have been compelled to
GUST a number of them from office.
This matter needs legislative atten-
ton"

Says Arrest Merely Spite Work.

Hutchinson, Kan.-Fred w. Thorp
a prominent lumberman of Haven, and
former cashier of the Citizens State
bank of Haven, who is under bond TO
answer to a criminal charge of making
false entries in the banks books, de-
clares it is merely spite work. Ever
since sold the bank year and hait
ago, | have been having trouble with
the directors" declared Mr.. Thorp
"They have me charged with false en-
tries involving $219. l am worth $5O,-
600 in this county. Why should
stoop to such thing as l am charged
with?" AS a companion piece to the
criminal charge preferred against
Thorp, the directors of the bank nave
also filed a civil suit in the Reno coun
ty district court against him. In this
action Thorp is charged with having
diverted to his personal uses funds be-
longing to the bank to the amount OF
S6,221.52, by system of alleged talse
entries and improper charging. The
bank sues to recover this amount. The
court is asked to require an account
ing. This case is still pending. Mr.
Thorp is one of the most prominent
men of Reno county, heavily engaged
in business, and leader in Democratic
county politics.
