HASKELL INSTITUTE.
Greatest Indian School in Country
Even Carlisle.

Lawrence, June 26.-Because any
one can go to Haskell at any time is
dou btless the reason why so many are
ignorant of the real work that is be-
ing done in this great school.
Started tWenty-nine years ago Has
kell Institute has grown until it stands
first among the great Indian schools
Of the country. For some years it
stood second to Carlisle, but now it
stands first and more students are
asking admittance than the school can
accommodate.
During the life of the institution
1864 Indians have been enrolled as
OF this surprisingly large number 654
have graduated, and this does not
count many who in the early days of
the school did not get their creden-
tials.
For the school year that has just
closed there was an enrolment of 763,
probably a larger number than has
been enrolled at any of the colleges of
the state outside of the state institu-
tons
Among the various courses taught
are baking, domestic science, dairying,
gardening, carpentry, painting, en-
cheering, plumbing and hot water
fitting, commercial work, domestic
art, drafting, woodwork and forging,
shoemaking, harness-making, mason
ry, wagon making. blacksnithing and
printing.
The teaching has not been theor-
etical but intensely practical, the
boys doing the farm work, attending
to the stock making the wagons and
harness, the clothing, shocing horses
and in fact doing any and all kinds of
work that happens to be needed on
the big bottom farm OF one thousand
acres.

WANT EXPERIMENT STATION.
Farmers Hold Mass Meeting-State
Board There.

Richfield, Kan, June 26.-County
Clerk L. NJ. DeWeese, at the urgent
request of many of our citizens, has
called meeting of those interested
in the matter of securing a state irri-
cation plant and experimental farm in
Morton comfy.
Members of the board of county
commissioners will doubtless be in at
tendance and we are assured that they
are ready to do everything in their
power to secure the enterprise.
The state board was here last week
but. owing to a mistake in properly
addressing their letter to the commits
sioners, no one knew they were COM
ing, and there was therefore nobody of
authority in town to meet them.
Those who are willing to donate
land should give in the numbers of the
tracts, and those having land shallow
to water should report the same, so
that it may be paid for by the county,
amined by the state board.

PROTECTED MOTHER.
Jury Exonerates Youth for Killing
Father When After Family.

Harrisonville, Kan, June 26.-The
coroner's jury exonerated Jesse
OrBannon, the 14-year-o1d boy who
shot and killed his father, J. w.
O'Bannon, a farmer, near here. The
evidence at the inquest tended to show
that the older O'Bannon was feared
by his wife and sons. Five bullets en-
tered the fathers body.
The boy, who was brought here in
custody of officers, claims he shot his
father to protect himself and his
mother when the father made threats
that he would kill the whole family
and started for Jesse wit ha shotgun.
According to Jesse his father had
been drinking and began quarreling
with Mrs. O'Bannon. After making a
number of threats he ordered Jesse to

Heat Is Quick to
Affect the Bowels
Well Known Fact That Extreme
Heat Conduces to Chronic
Constipation.

So many people are in the habit of
eating cold food in hot weather that
constipation is very common during
summer. 1t is best to vary the food
and have some hot things, as, for ex-
ample, soups and hot fish and meats,
if that is to be the diet. Iced water
should be drunk Sparingly.
In spite of all care people will be-
come constipated, and you find
yourself in that condition you can get
Immediate relief by the use of DR..
Ca1dwelrs Syrup Pepsin. There's is no
time OF the year when you should be
more careful of constipation than in
the summer, for many of the serious
illnesses as well as the fatalities re-
suit from a clogging up of the bowels.
You also need general good health to
withstand the heat, and hence Syrup
Pepsin is best to take because it con-
tains tonic ingredients that help to
build UP the entire system.
Numerous users throughout the
land will verify these facts, among
them Mr.. George c. Allen, 40s N.
Main St. Reading. Mass, who re-
covered his health completely after
using only two bottles; and Miss
Anna Schoff, 249 S. Washington ST..

IN SIXTH DISTRICT
Randall VIII Surpass Grain
Shipping Records.
Poultry, Produce and Live
Stock on List.

Randall, Kan, June 26.-This Jewell
county town bids fair to surpass all
former years in wheat traffic. The
wheat buyers claim there has never
been a more favorable year than this
one OF the old crop the elevators re-
port that from July l, 1912, to the pres
ent time they have handled more than
ESQ. 600 bushels. In the same months
not less than $50 cars of stock have
been shipped out by the buyer, J. w.
Peery, which indicates that the farm
ers around Randall also raise hogs and
cattle. The wheat harvest is on, and
corn is coming good.
Produce Shipping.
The egg industry tributary to Ran
dali indicates that the farmers wives
are making a good thing raising pouI-
try. Charley Ayers is manager of the
Metz Brothers egg trade here. About
all this business in Randall is carried
on by the Metz Packing company, with
head offices in Concordia and Mankato,
and branch agents in all the towns
tributary During the month of May
the egg business in Randall averaged
$50 cases a week, for which was paid
$3.50 and S. a case.
The cream industry is another BUSH
ness which pays the farmers a big divi-
dend. There are three who buy cream
here. Nearly all of it goes to J. o.
Frye, the local agent for the Concor-
dia Creamery company. About $1,000 is
paid out monthly for cream. There is
a large settlement of prosperous farm
ers tributary to Randall, and the poul-
try, egg and cream trade helps keep
up the prosperity.

Original Settlers.
The two pioneer settlers on the town
site of Randall are w. F. Morris and
J. A Carroll They came to Jewell
county in 1876. The former is doing
real estate and loan and insurance
business. while Mr.. Carroll has been an
accommodating postmaster for 10 years.
Randall has about 300 population,
and supports a "a hour electric lighting
service. The town is talking of
system of waterworks.
The Odd Fellows own a large bust
ness building which is 40 by 80 feet.
The lodge has fine hall in the second
story. The basement is fitted up for
a banquet room, and the first floor is
occupied by a stock of general mer-
chandise. The entire building is light
ed with electricity.
Most of the business buildings are
built of stone and brick. Said one of
her business men: Randall is here to
stay, what we have is our own, there
has never been an overgrowth, and the
town will broaden out as it grows
older There is a newspaper and
bank, lumber yard, hardware and i'm
pIements, general stores, drug store
and furniture, in fact a good place to
trade.

RANCH BARN BURNED.
Green Alfalfa Starts Fire-Valuable
Horse Lost,

Larned, Kan, June ga few days
after he had increased his fire insur-
ance policy Jess Heppner's big ranch
barn, southwest of this city, burned.
The fire was caused, it is thought, by
spontaneous combustion of newly cut
alfalfa. The total loss exceeds $1,000.
A fine driving horse and considerable
hay and feed were lost. 1t took the
combined efforts of half dozen men
to prevent a valuable stallion from
breaking through the side of the
burning barn and committing suicide.
Despite their efforts the animal sue
ceeded in smuggling off all his hair and
burning his face to a solid blister.
