THE OLD MAN WAS TO BLAME

"An Emporla man goes fishing on
Sunday, using the family buggy,
says the Emporia Times.
ga week ago he put some bait out
to 'cure,' about the middle of the
week, and after he had placed 1T in
the buggy Sunday morning he was
detained from going. That night
his daughter and her steady went
riding in her family chariot. Soon
the odor OF the defunct bait liver
began to perfume the air. Daughter
was sure she could smell something,
and steady was sure that daughter
had been eating onions. The silence
grew painful and the old plug sur
prised the neighbors by coming home
at-a trot, The young man hasn't been
over since, and daughter is sore
while her father feels that some one
didn't treat him just right in swiplng
his bait"

where is the rest of my hat?" 81
thought tnat was your old one, and
cut it up" Well, but what good
would that little bit of hat crown do
you?' Why, 1 wore 1T to keep my
pomp fat. Lots of the fellows at

SICC|NS VIEW OF
CHAKUTE FRANCHISE
Will Not Enter into Further
Negotiations With Chanute
Relative to Budding Of Street
Car Line

A letter filed at the City Clerks
office from D. H. Siggins gives Mr..
Sigsins' view of the annulment anc
subsequent reinstatement of the
electric railway franchise.
Mr.. George T. Amyx, City Clerk,
Chanute, Kansas
Dear Sir:
We received your l:tter and
printed copy of resolution of the
Mayor and Commissioners OF the
City of Chanute annulling the Street
Railway Franchise granted to US.
We are indeed surprised at this
action of your Mayor and Com
missioners. When we came to
Chanute some time since, at a
meeting of certain of your citizens.
the conditions of the franchise were
explained, and we were given to
understand that this action on the
part of the Mayor and Commits
sioners would not be taken.
A committee of your citizens was
appointed to secure right of way.
We'also commenced active opera
TONS, believing that the assurance
given US al this meeting would be
carried out.
We were proceeding in good
faith, expecting to complete an
interurban railway from Chanute to
lola, and build and complete CITY
line in the city of Chanute during
the summer and fall, when this un-
expected action was taken. We,
are not aware of just what prompted
this action on the part of the city
authorities, nor shall we under take
to find out. However, we do not
believe that the setting aside of our
franchise in the manner in which
it was done by the Mayor and Com
missioners was satisfactory to a
majority of the people of Chauute.
Our attorney, Mr.. Jones, has to-
day advised US of further proceed
ings relative to patching up TIE
franc hise. In this connectivon we
wish to advise that it will not be
necessary as no further negotiations
will be considered by US.
Very truly yours,
D. H. Siggins.

District Court Business

In the case of the state VS., Togue,
man who robbed the home OF the
Mexican section men on the Katy
railroad, was found guilty in district
court and sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary.
The case of the State vs.. VIM. Budd
and Harry Wallace, stewards of the
Elks and Eagles lodges was settled
shortly before noon Tuesday. The
Judgment rendered was for each
lodge first count of selling liquor,
$lO0 and 30 days in Jail for first count,
second count of selling liquor
$3.50 and 30 days in jail, and on the
third charge, maintaining a nuis-
ance, $500 and 30 days in Jail The
Jail sentences were suspended the
Judge holding that each member OF
the lodges were to some extent guilty
of the charges, and that to enforce
Jail sentence on the two stewards
would be an injustice. The Jail sem
tences being suspended, each put up
bond for the fines and costs and a
three hundred dollar bond each not to
violate the law again.

been given the place as assistant
librarian of the United States Senate
library. This is a very desirable posi-

to Mr.. Jones, the opportunity ii offers
for advancement in his studies in con-

partment of the George Washington
University.
