BIDDING FOR RAILROAD.
Offer Bonus OF 50, 1000 Per Mile If Law
Passes,

Dodge City. Feb. 3.-Bidding for
railroads is the position in which citi-
zens of Grant and Stanton counties
have placed their counties. At a mass
meeting at Johnson City taxpayers of
the two counties offered to pay a
bonus of $4,000 mile to any railroad
that will build through Stanton and
Grant providing a bill passes the Kan
sas legislature permitting this. AT
present the law forbids a county TO is
sue bonds for a railroad unless the
county receives in return the stock of
the company.
The building of the Colmor cutoff
has provided at least one railroad for
every county in Kansas with these two
exceptions. The Santa Fe has run a
survey from its new town of Santanta
on the cutoff through these two coun-
ties and the NJ. Il. & T. has a line as
far as Forgan, Okla, which is reported
to be headed for Denver. Either of
these two lines would suit the resi-
dents of Grant and Stanton counties.
They would prefer the Santa Fee con-
Meeting them with central Kansas
rather than the Katy which would be
north and south line connecting
them with Oklahoma and Colorado.

PLANT MORE DRY CROPS.
Farmers Urged to Raise Sorghum by
A. s. A. c. Man.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 3.-More
sorghum crops should be grown in
western Kansas, the Agricultural col
lege believes. If cane, kafir and milo
were planted more generally in place
of some crops that are less drouth
resistant, farmers in the western coun-
ties could better depend on their
crops. For this reason Edward c..
Johnson superintendent of farmers
Institutes at the Kansas Agricultural
college, has asked every one of the
400 farmers institutes in Kansas to
observe Sorghum Day." February 1 5.
He has suggested these topics for dis
cussion on that day:
What are the sorghums and why
are they especially valuable crops in
Kansas?
What types and varieties are best
suited to this locality? Whyo-
What are the soil requirements of
sorghums and when and how should
the seed bed be prepared?
Give complete discussion of and
reasons for your methods of planting
and cultivating the sorghum crop?
How should sorghum seed be Sc
lected, tested and handled?
Compare sorghums and corn for
feed and for silage.

SHE SUES FATHER OF 21.
Wife Asks That He Be Compelled to
support Unreasonable Number

lola, Kan. Feb. 3.-Carey Roush.
Allen county's foremost exponent of
the anti-race suicide movement and
father of twenty-one children, was
made the defendant in divorce pro-
ceedings filed by his wife, Sarah
Roush, in the district court here. Mrs.
ROush asks the court to award her a
decree of absolute divorce; the title
to the tract of land and home in
which the family lives, northwest of
lola; the custody of number of minor
children and that the husband be
compelled to support a reasonable
number of the homes population.
In her petition, Mrs. Roush charges
that her husband is of an abusive tenn
permanent; that he comes home very
frequently loaded with intoxicating
liquors: that he is cruel to her and
finally that he is guilty of nonsupport.
Judge FouSt has set February 4 as
answer day and at that time, Roush
may find that he has unlocked for
friends. One attorney talked of vol
unteering his services for the defense.

defrauding Ford county banks out of

GETS GOOD NEWS CLAIMS CITY PARK
Held for Attempted Burglary
Dewitt Receives Legacy.
First Letter From Home in IL
Years Arrives.

Hutchinson. Kan, Feb. 3.-When
the postman delivered the letters at
the Stewart hospital, he let in a ray
of hope into the soul of one man.
The lot of Stanley Dewitt has been
hard one since he came to Reno
county six months ago. Arrested for
burglary, penniless and without
friends, he was compelled to wait a
long time for his preliminary. AL
though the evidence against him was
not considered strong, he was com
PEELED to return to Jail to await his
trial in district court.
After a long wait in Jail he became
sick and was sent to the Stewart hos
pital. Here he had to undergo two
operations, and he is only now CON
valescing. Added to all of this, Stan
ley has lung trouble which bothers
him very much.
But the postman brought good news.
A letter from DeWitt's brother was
received, informing him of a legacy of
$4,000 which he will receive in time
from the settlement of his fathers
estate in Texas. This land is in
Guadalupe county, Texas. and has
been owned by the DeWitts since
1882.
First News From Home.
The letter was the first one he had
received from home for seventeen
years. Dewitt is a Spanish American
war veteran. He was a member of the
Rough Riders.
Dewitt was arrested last fall on a
charge of burglarizing the house of a
farmer near Partridge. He was en-
ployed in a threshing crew which was
working at this farm, and he and the
other members of the crew slept in the
barnyard.
One night someone obtained a lad
der and crawled through the open
bedroom of the two daughters of the
farmer. The girls were aroused and
the intruder quickly left. Dewitt was
accused of being the burglar the next
morning, and one of the girls identi-
fled him.
Dewitt strenuously denied it, and
many believe that he really is inno-
cent of the charge. Since last fall he
has been in custody awaiting trial on
the charge. He lay sick and almost
dying in the county Jail for weeks,
and was later removed to the hospital.

TICKETS GO ON SALE
FOR MINSTREL SHOW

The seat sale for the Elks' minstrel
show opens this morning at the Har-
nois box office at 10 O'Clock. The
management of the show attempted to
keep this fact quiet yesterday fearing
a rush and a riot at the. theater this
morning if the news became known to
everybody at the same time. The
scheme was to whisper the fact to a
few people at a time and let them
spread the facts gradually. Some
members of the company, however,
thought that this would be giving their
friends all the best of the seat chances
and it was decided at a late hour last
night to give out the fact for publica-
ton. The police have been called
upon to furnish a reserve guard ready
for an emergency run in case of a riot
call. Manager Woodwork loaded up
both his shotguns last night and says
that he believes he can handle the
this morning with little trouble
unless the officers object to his maxi
ing an example of the first fellow who
refuses to line up and take his urn
at the ticket window.

''Y0U NEVER CAN TELL"
PLEASES AT UNIVERSITY

The largest audience that ever at
tended a university play saw the pro-
duction of George Bernard Shaw's
comedy, You Never Can Tell" at as.
sembly hall last night. This was the
first play to be given by the newly
organized Dramatic club, and it's sue
cess will insure the existence of that
organization in the university.
From the prologue by C. S. b. Him
SELF who was impersonated by Carl
Click, president of the club, to the
final solution of an intricate series of
events that happily reunited a long
separated family, the audience was
treated to an Interpretation of bril-
llant dialogue woven about some very
clever situations. Although the play
was heavier than is usually chosen
Tor amateur casts, it was carried
through in a way that reflects credit
on both the actor and Mrs. G. F. Rey-
nolds, who directed the production.
Professor Fischer's university or
chestra played several numbers be-
tween acts.
