ARE SORE ON HODGES.
CoffeyvilIe Democrats Claim He Snubs
Them to Pay Political Debts.

Coffeyville, Kan. May 15.-There is
trouble here for the Hodges admins
tration. The local Democrats resent
the appointment of unknown out
slider to fill the position of state oil
inspector.
A few weeks ago State Oil Inspector
Cumiskey. on instructions from Gov
ernor Hodges, appointed William
Black, a farmer, living near Garrett
to fill the position of oil inspector at
Coffeyville, which now has three oil
refineries. Coffeyville Democrats feel
that they have been snubbed by Gov
ernor Hodges; there are several local
Democrats who wanted the job. and
felt they We're entitled to it.
1t is now discovered that Governor
Hodges appointed Mr. Black because
he is a brother-in-law of Fred Trigg,
political editor of the Kansas City Star,
and the appointment of the young An
derson county farmer was in apprecia-
ton of the services rendered Governor
Hodges by Mr.. Trigg in the last cam
paign. Mr. Black has never taken any
part in politics until he received this
appointment recently.

WILL GET SPANISH MONEY.
lola Man Gets Letter From Frauds in
Europe.

lola, Kan, May 15.-Lee Morrison,
county jailor received one of the al
Turing letters from Madrid telling or a
castle in Spain" awaiting the touch
of his magic gold to become reality.
The letter is very similar to the one
recently received by Mr. Abts, which
was declared to be wholly a fraud by
the American consul at Madrid.
The writer, L. Solovieff, is a Rus
sian banker in trouble and recently
arrested. His portmanteau was seized
and in it, in a secret pocket is the
clue to the obtaining possession of
fortune of $4SOOOO in the United
States If Morrison will send a cable
gram stating that he is willing, he
will be asked to send the money to
pay for Solovieffs trial and release.
The letter promises that if he will fol-
low instructions, he may have one
third of this fortune, or $4,000.
Mr.. Morrison has read too much Of
this organized fraud to give the letter
more than a passing smile.

1T Is ONLY A DREAM.
p. H. Sughrue Says Santa F'e Will Not
E1ectrify Line for Irrigation.

Dodge City, Kan, May 15.-''The
plan of the association of commercial
clubs on the main line of the Santa
Fe west of here to induce the Santa
Fe to electrify it's system and furnish
power to farmers for irrigation pur-
poses is purely a dream" says P. H.
Sughrue of this city, representative of
the Dodge City Commercial club to the
recent executive meeting of the asso-
citation at Garden City. However,
much good may come from the in
vestigations now being made. The as
ISOLATION will doubtless produce data
that will prove beyond doubt the ad
vantages of irrigation in western Kan
sas. Local electric light companies

Rush County Editor Finds Traces of
Prehistoric Animals.

Rush Center. May 15.-A MANN 9th
beast with teeth over a foot long and
nearly a foot across, at one time roam
ed the prairies of western Kansas.
B. H. Fleenor, editor of the Rush
Center Breeze, tells of the finding of
the tooth of such monster on farm
in the Walnut valley near there.
Robert Kennedy, a young farmer
near Rush Center, found the tooth
while blowing. He had photograph
taken of the fossil and sent it along
with full description to authorities at
Washington and received reply stat
ing that in all probabilities the dis
covered object was a back molar tooth
of a mastodon or mammoth.
The supposed tooth is Is inches
long from tip to tip and ten inches
across and weighs sixteen pounds and
four ounces; the roots are very dis
tinct and are three to four inches
long; the crown is rather oval in
shape and has eight rows of ivory
running across the face of the crown.
While the object appears to be a
stony substance yet the resemblance
to bone is very marked.

WON'T RAISE RATES.
Santa Fe Wants to Protect Farmers by
Preventing Car Famine.

Great Bend, Kan, May 15.-Santa
Fe Agent William Kleindenst of this
CITY saws the state utilities commission
is wrong in it's advices sent out over
the state to the effect that the Santa
Fe has asked for a raise in freight
rates on grain, grain seed and farm
products shipments. According to
Kleindenst the move is not aimed at
the farmers but is intended to protect
them. The minimum weight ruling of
$4,000 pounds to a car, now in force,
has been the main cause of previous
car shortages. If this is increased, as
the road asks, greater use will be made
of the cars available during the ship
ping season. The change, if allowed,
may hurt grain dealers, according to
Mr.. Kleindenst, but it will benefit the
farmers.

DID WAGGENER BUY TT?
Believed Burt Brown Used Senator's
Money in Deal.

Atchison, Kan, May 15.-Is B. P.
Waggener the new owner of the
Hutchinson Gazette?
Wiseacres who claim to know the
inside of the deal declare that B. P.
furnished the capital to finance the
company which took over the paper.
There is considerable basis for their
argument, too. Because Burt E.
Brown, the head of the new company
was in Atchison and held several con-
ferences with Mr.. Waggener. Upon
his return to Hutchinson it was an
nounced that the Gazette had been
sold to a company of Democrats. All
of which indicates that Mr.. Waggener
is very much in earnest about this
United States senator business.

Mr.. Buffum is an intense lover of
