GOOD JAM CAUSES GRIEF.
Bottle of Tt Brings a Lawsuit Against
Santa E'e Railroad

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, Sept. 90
Because of a jar of strawberry jam
like mother used to make the
Santa Fe Railroad company is now
said to be facing a vigorously pressed
lawsuit-not one in which great sums
are involved, to be sure, but a suit
which will nevertheless be pushed to
the end by the plaintiff if necessary.
Here is the story:
Congressman Dudley Doolittle of
this district recently chose as his pri-
vate secretary Clyde Holmes, the
young Elmdale postmaster. Holmes
is married so he and his wife decided
they should go to Washington to live.
Mrs. Holmes accordingly set her
dressmaker to work to make her a
silk gown such as any woman might
Washington. The gown was finished
and carefully packed away in a big
travelling chest. The chest containing
the gown was carefully checked, its
solicitous owner seeing that it got
safely aboard the same train she was
to take. And now comes the story of
the strawberry jam.
In the baggage car the chest was
piled high with other trunks, and it
so happened that the one just above
jam: The baggageman's rough han
ding had proved too much for the
glass of fruit, however, and presently
from the trunk the sticky jam began
TO SLOWLY OOZe out, dropping directly
through the keyho1e of the trunk and
finding a resting place on the precious
silk gown.
When Washington was reached and
Mrs. Holmes anXiously unpacked her
trunk, her grief may be imagined,
they ever burn, they must have burn
ed then. Now the railroad company
has a damage suit on it's hands, and
unless it promptly comes across
with the price of one silk gown there
will be trouble ahead, and plenty of
it,

CARS ALL REGISTERED.
Junction City Has No License Troubles
to Settle With State.

Junction City, Kan, Sept. 20
Neither an autom obi1e nor motorcycle
license has been issued by the county
treasurer, Miss Dixon, since Septem
Der s, this period being the longest
that has elapsed without a registration
since the law requiring this formality
went into effect. If there are any
motor driven machines in the city or
county that are now without the re-
quired number tag, they are out of
use, for every machine that has APP
peared on the streets for some time,
with the exception of those whose
owners have made recent applications,
is equipped with a number. It is very
probable that all the applications
have now been made.
Junction City and Geary county
have 256 motor cars and AZ motor
cycles, according to the record of APP
plications in the county treasurer'S
office.
