which they say Is being waged by male
politicians against two female former

The woman are organizing to give aid
to the two women. There Is a night on
in court over the effort OF the county
to recover sums OF money from the
former county recorder and the former
county superintendent. which the lat
ter claim are not due. That they have
enlisted the active aid OF a large num-
her Of the best women OF the city is a
fair indication that at least there are
two sides to the controversy. The
women say there Is nothing In the suits
beyond petty game OF politics with
the women to be made the victims
Just because they are women. 1t Is
not at oil impossible that the whole
matter will cut quite figure In the

URGES ORGANIZATION
Roosevelt at Progressive Conference
In PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, March 14.-Former-
President Theodore Roosevelt last
night urged the need of thorough or
ganization for studying and securing
the ideals on which the platform OF
the progressive party was based be-
fore an audience which crowded the
Metropolitan opera house. The meet
ing marked the close of the first OF
two.day session of the first annual
progressive conference of the state
of Pennsylvania. The various poll
cies set forth in the national platform
of the national progressive party
were discussed by speakers at yes
terday's sessions.
"a Members of electoral college of the
state who voted for Roosevelt for
president and the leaders of the
Washington party who conducted the
campaign for him are the leaders in
the movement which aims to perpetu-
ate the organization of the party. II
was decided at the afternoon session
that the executive committee or state
council of the league shall be COM
posed of the electors and others Sc
lected by them, two members from
each senatorial district, with an ex-
ira member from districts which in
clude more than one county.
Col. Roosevelt, Dean William Drap-
er Lewis of the university of Pennsyl-
vania law school and Rev. George l..
Perrin of Massachusetts, in their ad-
dresses last night laid stress on the
educational side of the work to be
accomplished the acquiring of special
and industrial facts on which to base
the necessity of proposed reforms.
In introducing Mr. Roosevelt, Dean
Lewis said 1--WE have met here to-
night to listen to the man who is the
leader in the most wonderful awaken
ing of the individual and group con-
science of modern times. There are
few who doubt that he has done
more than any one man to arouse the
conscience of the people. He is a
great personal force making for bet
ter things"
Col. Roosevelt declared it the duty
Of the party to formulate public op
inion and that il should be strength
ened by means of organization.
The plea for funds at the begin
ming of the meeting favored strongl,
of the old fashioned Methodist CAM
meetings when sinners were exhorteC
to come to the bench and be saved.
After one hundred of the pretties
suffragettes obtainable with moose
bana handkerchiefs flowing from
their sleeves and dressed in the films
lest of summer gowns acted as collec
tors. Those who were not prepared
for the collection basket were giver
a blank card and a fountain pen.
Suffragette collectors hurried to tn,
stage, up a gangplank and poured the
money upon the tables and adding ms
chimes clicked up almost $4,000.

BASE BALL.

Since our last issue the team has
had its ups and downs. In the home
series they took three straight from
Junction City, but were only able to
grab one from the speedy Clay Cen
ter bunch. Monday night the team
left for Junction City and what juno
tion did to the poor Millers was a
plenty. They not only got revenge
for the three games they lost here,
but made the boys eat every bit of
it, taking them in the first game IA
to 1 and no one was able to make a
real excuse for being alive, anyway.
Wednesday Junction City won the
game 4 to 0.
The Millers have been playing some
fast ball in the past few games and
losing a few games should not dis
courage the fans in the least, for
the team has shown what they can
do and will land in the first division
as soon as they get their stride.

MARY l. PUMRoY.

A particularly sad incident Of re-
cent occurrence was the death Of
Mrs. Mary L. Pumroy, which occurred
June 20, at the Gus Bordswick
home. Deceased was a stranger in
this vicinity, having come into the
county from eastern Kansas in COM
pany with her husband who had hired
out to Mr.. Bordewick to help in har-
vest. Her mother and a daughter Of
about 1S years were also with her.
Death was caused by tuberculosis
and occurred very suddenly in the
wagon in which the family had been
travelling. The body was brought to
this city and after being prepared for
burial was shipped to Lawrence, Kan
sas for interment.
The bereaved relatives have the sin
cere sympathy of a large number Of
newly found friends in this, their day
Of sorrow.

MISSOURI PACIFIC CHANGES TIME.
W. E. DAVIS,
State Auditor.

A change was made in the time of
the Missouri Pacific trains this week.
The morning train leaves Great Bend
now at $3.50 and in the evening at
7:45. Each train returns about 1O:SO
morning and evening. The morning
train connects at HoisingtOn with the
east bound passenger and also waits
for the local from the west which
brings passengers to Hoisington and
Great Bend from the west. The even
ing train connects with No. 3, west
bound and No. 6 and No. 2, east
bound evening trains. The service is
much handler and through the extra
wait in the morning many may go
to Hoisington in the morning and
have plenty of time to transact any
business desired.

POINTS MADE CLEAR.

County Clerk Younkin got a letter
from the state auditor, making clear
some points in regard to school land
filings. The letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Younkin: Answering
your letter of the 21st, beg to say
that the supreme court recently held
that the one year provision within
which settlers on school land must
purchase the same began to run from
the time of the appraisement Of the
land. In other words, the court IS
holding was that person could not be
held to have refused to purchase un.
til the same had been properly ap-
praised.
Under this ruling the settler in thu
case cited by you has lost none of his
rights to the land. In my opinion the
board of county commissioners can
either take up at this time the mat
ter of the confirmation of the apprai:,
ers heretofore appointed by the coun-
ty superintendent under the law as it
then existed, or he board may prop
erly proceed with the appointment Of
these appraisers or other appraisers
as it so decides.
Il note that many of the settlers
on the island lands are unable to give
the required bond, and you desire to
know whether in my opinion such
settlers can re-file or whether the
land can be treated as subject to
settlement by other persons. | do
not believe that settler who was un
able to give the required bond could
proceed to re-settle on the land.
can see no advantage to the settler
in such procedure nor do l believe
it would be legal procedure If it did
in any wise advantage the settler.
The settler being already on the land
would obtain no advantage by mov-
ing off Of it and then re-settling, and
if the requirement for the bond with
in the time specified is held to be
jurisdictional matter, failure to give
the bond within that time deprives
the settler of any right which he may
have acquired to the land.
Very truly yours,
W. E. DAVIS,
State Auditor.

SHORTAGE OF HARVEST HANDS.

e In spite Of, or possibly better to
say, because Of the great shortage in
the wheat crop in this county and all
over the wheat belt of the state west
Of Hutchinson, the shortage of help
has been serious matter for the past
week. Word had gone out that the
crop Is a failure, which is true in a
way, but it Is also a fact that practi-
cally all the acreage is being gone
over and that in many instances a
fairly good crop IS being harvested.
Naturally, on hearing that the crop
In this territory is fizzle, the men
who are coming this way to get a job
in harvest shift to places from which
the reports are more encouraging.
Most Of the farmers in the Great
Bend vicinity appear now to be reas-
onably well supplied with help. Many
Of them are working with a short
crew for economy's sake and some
Of them because they have not been
able to obtain the desired assistance.
Wages have been forced up to $500
per day on account of the shortage of
men which is as much or more than
the going price in good crop years
and is a hardship on the farmer in
year such as this when some of the
crop really will not pay for cutting.
At Ellinwood the question was
really serious one, as the crop there
Is generally heavy enough to require
the services of a full crew to handle
It and the rush to the depot there
Saturday and Sunday for men re-
minded one of the by-gone days of
big crops. The farmers of that 10
cality took a tumble" to the fact
On Saturday that the community
needed about 200 men to fill out the
crews, also that most everyone want
ed to begin cutting on Monday. The
Commercial Club of that place got
busy and sent a representative east
On the Santa Fe to gather up
bunch Of men. He was successful in
landing about rs men from Saturday
night to Monday morning, all of
whom were snapped up by the wait
ing farmers before they got off the
depot platform. More came Monday
and by the middle of the week most
Of the farmers were we'll supplied
with men. 1t is curious fact that
In this entire territory no one seem
ed to realize the need of men or
the scarcity thereof until within a
couple of days before harvest was up
on us.

REDWINe WANTS DEPOT.

The little village on the Missouri
Pacific between Hoisington and Claf-
hn-Redwing by name-has been
struggling with the railroad company
for some time in an effort to have
a depot built and better service given
them by the rail road, and apparent
ly their efforts are about to be re-
warded.
The matter was placed before the
state Board of Utilities and hearing
was had at Redwing on Friday. Be-
fore leaving for home information was
given here that while the matter was
not definitely decided, there seemed
to be sufficient business at the place
to justify some kind Of Accommodations
in the way Of depot, and that same
would probably be established.
