DR.. MARY WALKER ILL
Her Condition Is, Believed to Be Crit
icaI by Her Friends.

New York, March 1S.-Dr. Mary E.
Walker, widely known as an advocate
of woman's rights and dress reform"
in which she set an example by wear
ing male attire, is in the Presbyterian
hospital here and is reported to be
dangerously i'll.
Relatives in Oswego, N. Y, have
been notified. Upon her arrival here
she was found to be suffering from
nervous breakdown and was taken
from the train to the hospital On ac-
count of her advanced age-she is an
ctogenarian-her friends fear her
illness will prove critical
Among other distinctions DIR. Wal
ker has that of being the first woman
physician in the world to hold a COM
mission as an assistant army surgeon
She was promoted to this position
after service as a nurse on the battle
fields of the Civil war, during which
she adopted the plan of wearing
trousers. During her service she had
the unique distinction of being ex
changed as a prisoner of war for
man of her rank. Later she was
awarded a medal of honor for bravery.
OF late years DR.. Walker has been
leader In the woman suffrage move
first woman to attempt voting at the
polls.
She has made suffrage speeches
throughout the United States and Eng
land
Dr. Walker is suffering from a Sc
we're case of bronchitis, which is
threatening pneumonia. Worn with
hard work at Albany and Washington
in the suffrage cause during the last
week, the aged woman has no strength
to fight a serious illness. 1t is gener
ally doubted that she will recover.

FAMINE IN KANSAS.
Coal Is Gone in Many Kansas Towns
Food Supply Low.

Atcnison, Kan, March 1S.-As a re-
suit of snow blockade lasting week.
a coal famine exists in several Cen
trail Branch towns and the inhab1-
tants of those towns are beginning to
suffer. The Missouri Pacific is prepar-
ing to render all assistance possible.
Osborne is out of coal and corn,
Jam estown will be out of coal in q
few days, Cawker City has only 70
tons of coal left and many families
have no coal at all. At Mount Claire
the coal situation is becoming serious
and many people are using any KIND
of fuel available. The coal dealers
at Randall haven't a ton left. At Por-
It's real coal famine exists. STOCK
ton is out of coal and is beginning to
need merchandise. Woodston IS out
of feed and is running short on mer-
chandise. Warm weather over that
territory has aided in the fight against
snow and made the fuel famine less
deplorable.
Passengers Tell of Feed Shortage.
Salina, Kan, March 18.-Passengers
snowbound between Ellis and Victoria
on the Union Pacific since last Tues
day arrived in Salina Sunday, bring
ing a story of great need of stock teed
among the farmers.
At Hays last Tuesday three cars or
hay arrived and there were 81 farmers
with sleds lined up at the railroad to
get it. 1t was given out in quantities
were several cars of stock feed in the
yards for other points and the citizens
confiScated it and turned it over to the
farmers whose stock was actually
starving. The Ellis people paid thi
railroad company for the feed. In that
immediate territory there appears TO be
plenty of table food to tide the people
over the blockade. The Union PACING
yards here are congested with the Ia
BILE and stock supplies for western
points which will now be rushed over
the main line as quickly as possible
In the smaller towns west OF Ellis tue
condition is not so cheerful as toOd
and feed have been short several days.
A snowpIow has been sent up the Lin
coin branch which has not been open
ed west of Plainville for three weeks.
1t is the intention to send the snow
plow clear to Oakley and will be fol-
lowed by a mixed train with passengers
and supplies Young people going to
school in Salina who live in western
Kansas, and who have not received
their weekly allowance for three weeks
are now getting money by telegraph
A Union Pacific train from this city
to Beloit was wrecked near Delphos
when it attempted to buck snow
drift.
The two engines were turned over
and Engineer David Sneed of Salina anu
his fireman, Newman, were injured
The other engine crew escaped injury.
The road is blocked beyond the wreck
Snowdrift also wrecked a train near
Abilene, on the Rock Island. A brake
man named Smith, of Harrington. re-
ceived several broken ribs.

FORGOT HIS DAUGHTERS
So Suit Is Brought to Break w. d.
PauIs Will.

Because their fathers will did not
properly compensate them for the Is
years care of their father, suit has
been filed in the district court by Misses
Ida and Mamie Paul in which they seek
to set aside the will of tie late w. D.
Paul, founder of Pauline. Under the
will the two daughters shared equally
with the other children.
In their petition, the daughters urge
that they devoted Is years of their life
to the care of their father. For this
reason. they believe they should have
received a larger portion of the estate
than their brothers and sisters. Under
PauFs will, the personal property
effects are divided equally among the
children, but the Paul farm near
Pauline should not be sold. A life in
terest in the farm is given the children.
but provision is made that that real
estate shall not be disposed of.

ALFALFA PAYS WELL.
j. c. Rexroat Gets $11O Per Acre
From Crop.

Hoisington. Kan, March Isl. c.
Rexroat. a farmer living near here
has proven beyond doubt that alfalfa
is a golconda for the farmer who
wants to raise a mortgage. Mr.. Rex
roat has just sold the last of a ten
acre crop of alfalfa and the profits
amount to $1,10O, or $11O per acre
besides getting considerable feed from
the same. He threshed one crop and
got 100 bushels of seed. The next
crop brought 10 bushels more. The
seed was sold for 81 per busheI and
the sale of hay brought the remainder
of the large profits. The crop was
raised without irrigation.

BACKED BY INTERESTS
LaFolIette Manager Charges That big
Business Is Behind t. II.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 18.-Walter
l.. Houser. campaign manager for Sen
a n LaFollette, has made public long
letter to ellison Gardner, the writer,
continuing the discussion OF the Two
regarding what promises Colonel Roose-
welt did or not not make to aid the
Wisconsin senator's candidacy
The burden of Mr. Houser's letter is
that Gardner has only confirmed
Houser's assertion that the word
brought to LaFollette from Roosevelt
by Gardner was such as to warrant the
Wisconsin man in assuming that the
former president was his supporter.
You say" says Houser's letter to
Gardner, lin your denial of my inter
probation of the message you brought,
columns of the outlook and otherwise
do what he could to direct attention to
Toilette from Roosevelt encouraged La
Toilette in Wisconsin,
IF he had said no more, that would
still justify me in what 1 said, viz:
that the message you brought to La
Toilette from Roosevelt encouraged Lee
Toilette to become candidate
But you said more than that. You
said Roosevelt declared he would not be
a candidate; that his place in history
was made; that he could not afford to
take a defeat and that whoever made
the fight was certain to be defeated
for nomination and for election if NOM
mated; that this was Democratic
year; that LaFollette would not be in
jured by defeat; that there should be a
candidate representing the progressive
movement; that LaFollette was the log
ical man and that if he decided to make
the fight. he should announce his can
didacy at once"
Mr.. Houser concluded with charge
that all was tranquil till LaFollette de-
veloped strength Indicating that he
would be nominated when big bust
ness entered the contest and put up
Colonel Roosevelt as its candidate"

cause seems to be the lack of fresh
