SOME WANT INTERVENTION.

What really and greatly fear and
s1epIore is that some person or per-
sons either in the United States or in
Mexico or in both places, working to-
geti1er anxious TO bring about forcible
intervention and permanent occupation
OF Mexico by United States troops, and
consequently angry with me for pre-
senting a perfectly feasible plan for
immediate cessation of hostilities by
international mediation, have seized
upon me and my simple Informal and
personal suggestion as instruments to
force Intervention, and have worked
up sentiment in the American colony
to this end.
I'm view Of the severity OF the com
plant of the American colony and the
attitude Of the state department, am
forced in self defense to make public
a fact that 1 would infinitely prefer
never to mention were I not the sub :
ject of such criticism.

IN FEDERAL COURT,
1t COnvenes in Topeka Monday
November "A.

The United States district court will
convene in Topeka Monday, November
"a. The court held its session in Fort
Scott last week and will be in this
city next Monday. Judge John c. Pol
lock will hold the court.
The docket for this term of court
indicates a busy session, although the
number of cases will not be perma-
nently known until Monday. In the
criminal docket, the most important
ono will probably be the case against
III. Leon Miller. charged with perjury
in Leavenworth resulting in a hung
judy. Now he will face a charge Of
sending obscene matter through the
mails. Miller is from Salina and his
case will attract interest throughout
against James Quaney and Sherman
Trotter. charging them with the sale
OF liquor without government license.
are on the docket. The case against
F. T. Scott has been transferred from
Fort Scott along with other cases.
George Henry Smith is charged with
cashing an old soldiers pension check
and Paul Moore with selling liquor
without government license.
There will be no grand jury at this
serving. The United States govern
ment will be represented at court by
Fred Robertson, United States district
attorney, and his assistants. Francis
M. Brady and L. S. Harvey. The Ses-
sion will probably remain in Topeka a
week or more, according to the num-
Der of civil casts to be tried.
Court is held in Topeka only twice
a year, April and November. 1t is also
held in Leavenworth, Wichita, Kansas
City, Fort Scott and occasionally Sa-
lima and other cities. The Fort Scott
session this month was the shortest
OF the year, as much Of the business
was transferred to Topeka.

ELECTRICITY FOR PUMPING.
Plant Installed by Sugar Company
Ev0de DrOuth in Future.

Garden City. Kan. Nov. 17.-Six car
loads Of poles for electic lines have ar
rived, thhe first shipment for the new
power plant to be built by the United
States Sugar and Land company as
soon as their sugar campaign has end
ed this fall. The plant will be built
near the factory and the factory boil
ers will be used. It is to be a 5000
horse power steam turbine generator
set. The line will be 26 miles long
and will connect with the present
pumping line at Deerfield which will
be discontinued and all the power gem
Grated at the power plant at the fac
tory. This plant will also furnish pow
er to pump water on the company s
lands and will also sell power to any
farmer along their line. BY the system
of wells on each farm pumping the
water where 1t is used, a great saving
is made by eliminating the seepage aud
a large per cent. of evaporation where
it has to be conveyed a long distance
in open bitches. The company ,pes
to have the plant IN operation by
March Is. With this plant in operation
they will be sure of water on dry years
as the past has been.

That Nebraska Land Has About ::
Per Acre Value, Says Kansan.

With the intention of giving pros
pective landseekers chance to look be-
fore they leap at the Nebraska lano
drawings, w. r. Brown OF Minneapo-
lis, Kan, tells some of his experiences
in the North Platte and Hyannis coun-
try. Mr.. Brown. who Is nephew OF
Chief Justice Johnston. is farmer OF 40
years experience, and feels competent
to pass judgment upon farm land. He
went to North Ilatte with a proxy for
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Louise Houston,
widow of a Twentieth Kansas soldier.
In her name he drew No. 4. practically
first choice of all the Platte land open
for homestead. With the other lucky
entrants-Nos. I. 2, 3, s and 6. he spent
a day in blowing through the sand
dunes of the Platte reservation-and
then Joined the other members of the
party in a fiat refusal to accept the
choice and the obligations entailed.
None Of them cared to spend three
years and $500 in improvements on
about the worst land they had ever
seen. They quit it cold, and will await
the Valentine drawing in April.
THE North Platte country is essen
TALLY a cattle country" said Mr.. Brown
while in Topeka today. 1T could not
be farmed, as 1t is pure sand-One big

settle where it takes two big teams
and wide-tired wagon to haul a ton
Of coal.
II consider the land worth about 81
per acre for grazing purposes only.
The Valentine land is worth from IS
to $50. This country Is fully settled
around the opened land, which is an
abandoned fort reservation on the
Niobrara river, which Is lined with
fine timber. The surrounding farms
raise fine crops; the water Is good and
plenty Of 1t.
"At Hyannis, some people are leaving
in disgust. and not waiting for the
drawing Monday. Among the people
who were 'stung' may be mentioned a
railway conductor who gave up a SIZE
job to attend the drawing. girl stenog-
rapher who left $40 a month job for
the same purpose, and several Iowa
farmers. I can't imagine q conductor
or young lady stenogral her making a
living among those sand hills, or en-
5oying three-years' residence in a
country that is snowbound 60 days out

been that the sand country has been
overestimated to say the least, by per-
sons who had some personal interest
in bringing hOmeSeeksers to Hvannis -
