NO WAR IN SIGHT
SubIette Will Get County Seat
without a Fight.
Only Churches and Schools
Left in Santa Fe.

Hutchinson, Kan, Jan. 13.-There
will be no county seat war in Haskell
county.
Steve Cave, ex-representative from
Haskell county, who is in Hutchinson
on business, declared that there is
very little opposition to moving the
county seat from Santa Fe down to
Sublette, the new town on the rail
road, five miles south of the old
county seat, and in the center of the
county.
There was some talk of Satanic
going after the county seat but that
has been dropped" he said. Satanic
people themselves admit that it would
be too unpopular to attempt to put the
county seat in an extreme corner OF
the county.
There is practically nothing left
of Santa Fe now Most of the peo-
pie and buildings have moved to Sub
lette. About the only buildings left
on the townsite now are the old
frame courthouse, the schoolhouse
and the two churches, and they will
be moved soon."
The House of Cave.
Mr.. Cave was confident that the spe-
cial election will be held within the
next thirty days for the removal of
the courthouse and county seat The
petitions have been signed by more
than the necessary number of sigma
lures and the county commissioners
will take action at their present Ses-
sion.

store at Sublette is just about the
biggest business establishment in
southwest Kansas. The supplies for
all of the grading and construction
gangs up and down the new Santa Fe
road are furnished from his eStab-
lishnent. 1t is not at all unusual for
the days business to run from $1,000
to $4,000 at this store
Sublette has about 100 Inhabitants
now. There is no school and no
church as yet, for the town is only
few weeks old. But these will come

thing like 5000 or 10000 acres of

SMALLPOX COST CARBONDALE
S. OOn

The last case of smallpox report
ed to the health authorities was re-
leased from quarantine Saturday af-
ternoon and it is the first time since
the first case was reported the latter
part of July, that the city has been
entirely free from the disease.
Among the several epidemics that in
tested this and other states during
the past six months, this city was
exceedingly fortunate as not one
death occurred from the dreaded dis
ease. The total cases reported in
this city was over one hundred and
while a majority of the victims had
only modified form of the disease
there were a number of severe cases
that were brought safely over the
crucial point. The epidemic, it is
figured, will cost the city in the
neighborhood of $4,000, which
amount includes all bills contracted
up to the time the State Department
of Health took charge. Since that
time several bills have been paid by
the poor district for provisions for
the patients which will probably
amount to $2,0O0.-Leader.
