THELAS CALL.
Chief Hughes Will Go After the Speed
EiendS.

J. w. F. Hughes, chief of police, will
tolerate no more violations of the mo-
torcycIe and auto ordinances. He is
sued his last warning this afternoon,
and it is probable that arrests will be
made this week of those who are un-
der 16 years of age and who ride the
Dop-pop machines and drive autos.
Those who exceed the speed limit will
also receive attention.
Chief Hughes said this afternoon:
This is my last call The speeding
must stop. The motorcycles in To-
peka do not go at lower rate of speed
than 25 miles an hour. A lot of those
who are driving have no permits from
the board of examiners. The new law
will make an age limit 4 years. There
are many persons now driving who are
under the present age limit of 16
years

NORCATUR TO BE GREAT
Good Crop Prospect-Another Rail-
Road-Commercial Club.

Norcatur, Kan, April 30.-The new
mayor and councilmen recently elect
ed will take charge of the city affairs
in Norcatur after next Monday The
new officers are: Mayor. Nat Temple;
police judge, j. J. Pool; councilmen,
L. W. Hicks, J. NJ. Shuey, c. c. An
drews, L. L. Corn, Frank Frewen-
Two of the officers are ex-mayors,
two of them bankers, two merchants
and one a member of the legislature
from Decatur county, the Hon j. Nj.
Shuey. The entire set of new officers
are business men and 1t is expected
that they will Immediately introduce
some new ideas into the municipal
government and set a pace of improve
ments for the town that the citizens
have sought for several years.
The town is on the uphill climb, and
residences and business houses that
had been empty the past year are be-
ing rapidly filled, and new homeseek-
ers are coming into the country dis
tricts. The recent rains that covered
all the western part of the state have
put the soil in a better condition for
the seasons crops than since the year
1906, when the town of Norcatur broke
all shipping records by shipping out
692 cars of wheat grown about Nor
catur. This season the record Will be
broken again, as Norcatur sits on the
line of Norton and Decatur counties
right in the midst of vast wheat belt.
and with a larger acreage in good con-
dition than ever before.
The town will be a big distributing
point for harvest hands and supplies
when the harvest days arrive. Nor
catur is on the branch line of the Bur-
lington railroad running from Repub-
lican City, Neb., to Oberlin, the coun-
ty seat of Decatur county. The Bur-
lington has recently announced that
it will soon extend the line to connect
with the main line in Colorado east of
Denver. This will give Norcatur and
other towns on the line an outlet to
the west and will therefore be of ma
terial benefit to them. Norcatur is to
be one of the first to reap a benefit
and is forging ahead accordingly. The
town will soon have comm rcial
club, and is taking up with enthusiasm
the good roads work and expects to
have an excellent highway soon con-
Meeting the town of Oberlin on the
west and Norton on the east. The town
slogan is Good old Norcatur, destined

HOG CHOLERA IN SMITH.
Epidemic Spreads i'm Several Town
ships-Dyin9 Fast.

Smith Center, Kan, April 3O.-Chol-
era among the hogs is epidemic in
many of the townships in Smith coun-
ty despite the most strenuous efforts
to check it. The disease seems to
have assumed a more malignant and
deadly form this spring than ever be-
fore. Whole herds are exterminated
in some cases inside a week. John
Detwiler, one of the big stockmen near
here, lost $500 worth in three days.
Yesterday the malady broke out in the
Henry Williams herd of 500 head and
scores of them are sick. Farmers in
every locality are alarmed and hurry
ing to market with every hog that will
pass muster with the buyers. The
serum treatment has been offered by
the Agricultural college along with
an expert to use it. but the farmers
have so little faith in it's efficacy that
none so far has taken advantage of
the offer.

TWINE PLANT MACHINERY.
superintendent of Prison Factory
Looks Over Closed Shops in East


I4eavenworth, April 3O.-Somewhere
in the east there are several Irvine
plants which, because of their hav-
ing been put out of business by the al
legged trust, have been idle for many
months. This morning Superinten-
dent Cline of the state prison Irvine
mandatory left on a tour of inspec-
ton of these plants, one of which he
probably will buy before his return.
1t is the intention to have the twine
plant at the prison in operation by
July /, if possible Therefore, it is
necessary to get the machinery at the
earliest possible date. If second hand
equipment can be secured. it is not
the intention to buy it new, first be-
cause the second hand apparatus
would be quite as good, and in the
second place because it would be con-
siderably cheaper. How long Super
intendent Cline will be gone is not
known, but it is probable that he will
be back within two weeks, and will
have arranged for immediate ship
ment of the machinery he had pur-
chased.
