HAD BULLET IN NECK.
Removed After Two Years Delay
Shot Accidentally.

Newton, Kan. Aug. S-Andrew
Foth had a bullet extracted from his
neck by a physician, that had been
lodged there for two years.
1t was over two years ago while
handling revolver that it was acct
dentally discharged, and the bullet en-
tered his body at the lower part of the
sternuu, glanced upward and lodged
in the left side of his neck near the
location of the large blood vessels. He
was anxious to have the bullet re
moved at the time, but the physician
to whom he went refused to do so on
account of its proximity to the large
blood vessels. So for two years Mr..
Foth has been carrying this bullet. II
was so located that his collar would
rub on it. making him uncomfortable,
and he finally decided to try another
physician to see if he would not ex-
tract the piece of lead. 1t was easy
to locate the bullet in the facia be
meath the skin of the neck, and an in
cision was made and the bullet picked
out.

DON'T SELL STOCK
Experts Tell Farmers to Build
SilOs-EnOugh Feed Left.
No Need to Sacrifice Cattle at
Depleted Market Prices.

Clay Center. Kan, Aug. s.-(On
board Kansas Agricultural College
Rock Island ''silage specially Enough
feed will be grown in Kansas this year,
dispite the dry weather to feed double
the number of live stock in the state.
And yet many farmers, fearful of
feed shortage, are selling haf-fattened
cattle and even breeding cattle at
sacrifice prices. One hundred and
twenty-five carloads of took cattle
went to Kansas City over the Rock
Island Lines in Kansas alone Monday
night. To stem the tide of sacrificed
stock is one of the chief aims of the
'silage special now running over the
Rock Island Lines in Kansas carrying
speakers from the agricultural college.
Keep your stock. Put all your feed
corn, kaflr, milo. and cane-in the silo
and there will be plenty for the stock
to eat this winter. Wait until the corn
is pretty we'll fired; let it mature as
much as possible before making silage
of it. If you can't afford an above
ground type of silO dig a hole in the
ground-a pit silo-and dig it right
away. 1t will cost only a few dollars.
The silo saves feed that usually is lost
That is the advice the experts on the
sllaSe special are giving to farmers
Farmers near one station who have
as much as 100 acres of corn apiece
We're on the point of selling off their
cattle because of fear of feed short
age The college men heard of it and
met the situation with timely advice.
There isn't any excuse for a man to
sell his stock now A S. Neale, assist
ant superintendent of farmers insti-
tutes at the agricultural college, told
the farmers. These fields of imma-
ture corn. even if they don't get more
rain, will make good enough silage to
take your stock through the winter.
Feed straw with the siIage. Cows at
the Hays experiment station wintered
on only 90 pounds of silage one pound
of cOttOnseed meal, and all the straw |
they could eat each day, made gains of |
30 pounds apiece last winter and reared |
calves besides. Don't sacrifice your |
stock 1t isn't necessary

SOUTH COFTEYVIILE QUIET.
Outlaws Arrested and Place Is Quiet
as Graveyard.

Ottawa. Kan, Aug. S.-South Cof-
feyville, Ok, the former tough little
community on the kansas-Oklahoma
line, is now as quiet as a graveyard,
according to Wyatt Collier. a southern
Kansas man. who was in Ottawa.
For a while the jointists lived
along the hedge fence that marked
the state line; and when bunch of
officers from one state appeared, they
would toss their belongings over
across the fence" said Collier. But
when the Kansas officers lined up on
the north side, the Oklahoma officials
on the south and the agents of the
United States government dropped in
the middle the jointists had no show
whatever. South Coffeyville will never
again be a synonym for lawlessness.

SILKVILLE RANCH SOLD.
John o. Patterson of Kansas City Sells
It-Contains 1856 Acres.

Ottawa. Kan. Aug. S-The famous
old SiIkville ranch in the southwestern
part of Franklin county, the estate of
Ernest De Boissiere and given by him
to the Odd Fellows for an orphans
home. has been sold. The deed calls
for the transfer of the property,
amounting to 1856 acres, from John O.
Patterson of Kansas City to David H.
Hudson of Ford county.
The farm has a romantic history. De
Boissiere was a native of France, and
he purchased the tract in Franklin
county to start a cooperative and So
cialistic silk farm. He imported from
France silkworms to make silk and
grew many mulberry trees for the pur-
pose. The industry failed. The silk
was of the best quality, but it would
not sell because it was necessary to
demand too high a price.

Pennsy Governor VIII Accept

NEW YORK, Nov S.-The men
y tioniug of Governor John X.
Tener, Of Pennsylvania, as
successor to Thomas Lynch, president
Of the National League. seems to
meet with popular favor among the
magnates of that organization.
Though Tener denied that he was
after the place or would take il when
the report first gained circulation, it
became known to-day that he is
ready TO accept. The veteran player,
pitcher on the old Chicago White
Stockings of % years ago, has won
a high place in the public eye and
the belief Is he would prove a big aid
TO baseball
At the meeting OF the National
League in this city next month a
committee will be presented to ten
der the office to Governor Tener for
a term of years at a salary of S25 600
year II the solons can make a unan-
imous choice of him. 1t would not
be necessary for the Governor to re-
sign In the year that he has to
serve to complete his term he could
be in touch with National League
affairs and have John A. Heydler sec
rotary of the league, in charge of
headquarters of the league in this
city
Charles H. Ebbets. president of the
Brooklyn club, put the name of the
Pennsylvania Governor beyond the
possibility point to-day when he
said: Il have been pledged to sup
port Robert w. Brown, of Louisville,
for the National League presidency.
For more than rs years / have been
friendly with Governor Tener, and
when | cast my lot with Brown had
no idea of the chance to obtain the
services of Mr., Tener, Now | have
no doubt that Mr. Brown will be
willing to withdraw if the National
League viii agree upon Mr. Tener
'Messrs. Dreyfuss, of Pittsburg, and
Hermann, of Cincinnati, have been
with me in support of Mr. Brown. but
John Tener is the ideal man to give
the National League the prestige in
baseball that it deserves"
William +, Baker, president of the
Phlllies, and erstwhile Police Com
missioner of New York, said to-day
at his home in Brooklyn that he con-
