MAKES HIM SICK
Sewage in River Ruins Health
of Farmer.
Stock Refuses to Drink Water
From Stream.

Fort Scott, Kan, Jan. 30.-Another
damage suit pertaining to the pollu-
ton of the Marmaton river has been
brought against the city. This suit
was brought by w. H. Severy, well
known farmer who resides two miles
northeast of this city. Mr.. Severy files
the suit against both the city for al
lowing the sewage to empty into the
Marmaton and against the Fort Scott
Sorghum Syrup Works for allowing
their refuse to empty into the same
stream.
This is one of the several cases that
have been filed against the city and
the syrup company with the same is
suance in the petitions. These suits
will probably all be tried at the same
time
Mr.. severy owns about thirteen
acres of land northeast of town and
alleges in the petition that the land
adjoins the stream and that the house
he lives in is about fifty yards from
its banks. He says that the water is
so polluted that the stencil from it
has caused his health to be impaired.
He says that stock will no longer
drink it and that the fish have all
died from it's poisonous waters.

HE RAISED CHECK
Obliging Bankers Mistake
Costs His Bank S4S.5O.
Strangers "Smudged" Check
Was for Only so Cents.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 30.-A Law
renee bank had a rather interesting
experience that caused a scurrying
about in the effort to correct the mis-
take, which was not discovered until
too late to remedy
A few days ago a man giving the
name of George Alldman went to the
bank, deposited $3.50. He was a
stranger, but the bank was perfectly
willing to look after his business.
Later he went to the bank, wrote a
check for SO cents and presented 1t
you've got this all smudged up, "
said the man at the window, and
it's hard to tell anything about it,
so 1 will write another one for you to
sign.''
Original Check for so Cents.
So the accommodating banker
and all the Lawrence bankers are &C
commo dating-wrot the check Tor
$50, showed it through the wicket
for the man to sign, and after it had
been signed gave him the money on
it. The transaction occurred about
8 o'clock in the afternoon. When
the bank began checking up after
the close of business the check for
$50, signed by the man who had de-
posted $3.50, was discovered, and at
tention was called to it The original
check was fished out of the cuspidor
and it was found that it had been
written for SO certS.
But the man was gone. The bank
ers stepped out on the street in an
endeavor to locate the man who had
drawn the money, but could not find
him. The police were called in, told
of what had happened, and at once
made" the depots in an endeavor to
locate the stranger, who was $4S.50
ahead of the bank. But he had gone.

HOW TO CUT COST-WATERS.
President X. S. A. @. Says Consumer.
Should Buy of Farmer.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-Co-operation and
direct business relations between pro-
Queer and consumer will go a long
way toward solving the high cost of
living problem, DIR. H. J. Waters, pres
ident of the Kansas State Agricultural
college, said in speaking at the annual
banquet of the Kansas society of Chi
cago.
High cost of living is due not so
much to the price the farmer obtains
for his produce as is the high cost of
getting these products from the farm
to the consumer" he said. "a remedy
which will bring large and immediate
relief is for the producer and the con-
sumner to establish direct business re-
turns.
Farm products in general are not
too high at the farmers railroad sid
ing or in the wholesale markets. Some
products are not high enough. The
present scarcity of meats for example,
is due to the fact that livestock prices
have been too low to encourage the
farmer to raise meat animals. This at
once imposes on our farmers a type of
agriculture that wastes the soil.''
DR.. Waters also pointed out that
the increase in farm land values in the

HIS LIFE CONTINUAL PAIN.
Four-Year-Old Boy, Recovering From
Paralysis, Drinks Lye.

ElDorado, Kan, Jan. 30.-Golden
haired, blue-eyed Richard Thompson,
four years old, has had more physical
suffering crowded into his short life
than has many a lad five times his
age. Tossing from one side of his hot
pillow to another, in a crude rocker
crib, little Richard is paying the pain
full price of drinking one, possibly
two, swallows of liquid lye from a
can that stood on the kitchen table in
the home. And, as the mother said
with tears in her eyes and a break
in her voice, ''the doctor says little
Richard may not get well at ALL"
70 Only his mothers presence of mind
prevented the boys Immediate death.
His mother was busy and the contents
of the can looked like drinking water.
Only a mistake of a second, but it will
cause the boy months of unspeaka BILE
agony, if he lives. His mouth was
bleeding when his mother reached
him, but she knew what had happened
and summoned the doctor while she
heated grease and poured down the
lacerated throat. The doctor said he
could not have lived but for this emer-
gency treatment
since the youngSter was two months
old he has been afflicted with infan-
tile paralysis, and it was only in the
past few months that he was able to
walk about without help. He was
unable to sit alone until he was eleven
months old and but few days. out of
the four years, have been free from
pain. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs L. A.
Thompson, have six other children at
home.

He Drops 80 Feet.

Newton, Kan, Jan. 3O.-A serious
accident, that might have proved ia
tai, happened to Fred Gibson, when
he was trimming trees in his front

ground a distance of about 80 feet.
He received a compound fracture of
the right thigh bone and also his
right arm was broken just above the
wrist. In addition he has many Sc
we're cuts and bruises on his body.
A couple of telephone men, who
were working near, saw him fall and

and DR.. Miller was called, who after
dressing the wounds temporarily,
moved his patient to Bethel hospital
where he is reported as doing as well
as could be expected.

Nation tactics will be employed in the
campaign against liquor law viola

the police department.
The instructions which were re-
ceived by Chief Tucker were to smash
all whisky and beer bottles where they
are found. Instead of a gun police
men may have to carry hatchets. Any
way, when they get through with a
raid persons on the lower floor will
think the hydrant has sprung a leak
or the bath tub overlooked, it is an

This order was issued after the po
lice made two raids and seized much
liquor. The "store" room at the city
hall has been cleaned, disinfected.

Sarah E. Macfarline, humane society
officer, and there is no place to put

lated. The new method will eliminate

Miss Colvin wears her beautiful and
long tresses. Instead of Miss Colvin's
head striking the pavement with
dull, resounding force, her couture
acted as a cushion and the force of
the blow was not sufficient to even
shock her, although she was terribly
provoked to find herself standing on
her head.
