first shipment of machinery for the
new Irvine plant is expected to arrive
early next month. There will be sixty
spindles in this consignment. The
other sixty will follow the latter part

Work on the buildings now is pro-
crossing more rapidly than before. One
is almost completed, while the second
is about ready to be rooted This

Park Season Ends.
Hutchinson, Kan, July 26.-What
has been threatening to result in a
town fight over the Sunday show mat
ter is now being quietly and satisfac-
torily adjusted.
AS a result of a series of confer
ences the past two days among rep
resentatives of the opponents of Sun
day shows, city commissioners and the
Showmen, the ordinance prohibiting
Sunday performances will be reintro-
duced in the city commission at once.
A provision will be attached that
the ordinance shall not take effect
until September 80, which will be
after the present season at Riverside
park ends. 1t was agreed by the con-
ference that the park should be al
lowed to finish out the present season.
The plan is that next spring, at the
city election in April a proposition
shall be submitted to the people for a
vote on the question of whether to re-
peal the ordinance. The people can
then decide whether the ordinance is
to continue in effect.

men-Jerry Barnett, c. ]. Lewis and
w D. Street-who rode all the pre-
ceding night to reach the various set
tiers in the valley of the Buffalo, and
just at daylight the last party of set
tiers were notified, on the east branch
of the Buffalo, and Immediately re-
paired to Hoffer's. where he had kept

Mr. Hoffer is the only survivor of
the four of that anxious nights work
in the interests of settlers. 1t all end
ed happily for the settler, as the In
dams received the surprise party and
discontinued hostile approaches.
Continuing under a later date of
the same year, Mr.. Street says:

of correct history, let me say that 1

in February, 1870, that c. ]. Lewis
(Buckskin Charley and myself were
out hunting buffalo and in riding
across the country between the east
and west Buffalo creeks I was inn
pressed with the beauty and desira-
bility of the present townsite. I men |
toned the fact to Mr.. Lewis and
later we ascertained the numbers of
the land and proceeded to secure it
for townSite purposes.
when the threatened Indian raid |
caused US to organize a company of |
home guards we decided to locate the |
fort and dig the well on the TOWNSHIP |
it being the most centrally located for |

STOPS KATY COAL FIRE.
Steam Shovels Accomplished Task AZ
ter Two Weeks Work.

Parsons, Kan, July 26.-The fire in
the coal reserve at the Katy yards is
under control and the crews of the
two big steam shovels and the other
fire fighters are relieved from duty.
The fire started two weeks ago in
the reserve coal field north of the
city, threatening thousands of tons
of coal. A large force of men was put
to work in hopes of saving it. Water
was turned on the fire, but it was
found that wetting the coal only made
it burn the more readily. AS a last
resort two large steam shovels were
put at work shoveling the coal into
cars and getting it away from the
field.

COURT NOTES.

Judge Jones recOnvened Circuit
Court in this county Monday noon
and as the LEADER goes to press one
day earlier this week on account Of
Thanksgiving the session is still
transacting business. However, at
this time it LOOKS as though the jury
calendar would not be finished this
term on account Of the fact that
Thanksgiving interveneS and it would
not pay to have the jury return after
Thanksgiving for the small amount
of business remaining undOne.
Canton is not noted for the long
terms of it's Circuit Court. The pres
ent term has been somewhat longer
than the average and from the mum b.

er of cases dOcketed at the opening Of
the term it looked AS though We were
going TO have an unusually tOr uS)
long term Of court This large docket
was occaSioned by the numerous suits
growing out Of StOckhuIderS notes
given for the payment Of stock in the
knowIton Manufacturing Co but on
account Of the similarity Of the cases
it was deemed advisable 60 not Vt
tempt to try more than one Of each
class of cases because it would have
neceSSitated the sending into The
for several special jury venires.
These knOwltOn cases that have
been tried so far have been interest
ing cases. There is considerable
calendar of cases remaining to be
llilO by the court and Judge Jones
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1913-11-28

has iutimated that he will not hear
these court cases until some special
term, which he has not yet set, but
which will occur along during the
holidays. The case occupying the at
tentiOn Of the court all of Monday
aud large part of Tuesday was one
in which Mr. Thayer Of this city was
sued on his note given in payment
for stock in the Credit Reporting Co..
which our readers will remember
played such a great part in the tinan-
cial ruin of Ex Governor NeSSey and
as we go to press we have not been
able to learn the result of this case
An important case which will follow
this one is a suit by O. T. England VS..
Earl Royce for money claimed to be
owing Eggland by BOyce.

One Of the important cases that will
have to go over u tie next term if it
cannot be reached before Thursday is
the case OF Pearl Graham VS. Finn
Graham and his wife, Mary Graham,
in which Pearl Graham sues for dam
ages for alternating the affections Of
her husband, Myron Graham, who is
son of the defendants. This case
has attracted large amount of inter
est from the southwest portion of
the county, in which all Of the parties
reside and it is intimated that this
case is only a preliminary matter and
that other and equally important
suits growing out of the martial re-
lations of Mrs. Graham and her hus-
band will follow this case.

LOCAL PROPHET
MAKES GOOD AT IT
Has the Joke on Official
Weather Forecaster by Sig
nally outguessing Him.

The local weather prophet, who
matched his observations with the sci
entific conclusions furnished by the
government forecaster, has won out
beautifully. In last nights Argus the
RocS Islander ventured to say that the
Official prognosticator had been con-
victed repeatedly by the contrary eff
feet of the wind on his own signals
flying from The Argus building. For
two days the local man pointed out
the signals, according to the code, in
Dictated rain and cooler, yet the way
the wind was blowing against those
very flags showed distinctly that there
would be no relief in sight within the
period forecasted, which proved true.
And so yesterday, when the official
forecaster ordered up the flag denot-
ing fair and continued warm weather,
and so bulletined. the Rock islander
announced that the weather Uf.cial
had missed it again for the wind blow
ing against the flags strongly foretold
the very opposite kind OF weather and
that he would not be surprised if it
came today.
And sure enough it did come. The
temperature began to drop during the
evening and before morning had fallen
80 degrees, and with it came the other
change that the weather man did not
know about-cloudy instead of fair
weather.
Today's official indications are fair
and warmer. Meanwhile the local man
is recommended to the agricultural de-
partment at Washington.

Accept the Laureateship.
When Sir Walter Scott was offered
tne laureateship in 1913 he declined
the post because. as be wrote TO Lady
Abercorn. the necessity of writing
odes twice year is n difficulty which
no one ought to encounter who has
any poetical character to lose: at least
l am sure should find it insurmount-
able. The thing might be easily done
in decent sort Of way as old White
head himself describes It:
Whose muse obliged by sack or pension,
Without subject or invention.
Must certain words In order set
As innocent as Gazette.
Must some half meaning half disguise
And utter neither truth nor lies
Tennyson received the letter offering
him the laureateship one morning be-
fore he was out OF bed. On rising he
tmm ediately wrote two replies. one ac-
cepting. the other declining the offer,
and determined to consult with his
friends at dinner which to tend. Ever
afterward be would jokingly declare
that he accepted the honor because

Motorcycle Wins Political Race.

Wm. Quackenbush of Little Falls, N. Y. gives his motorcycle most of the credit for his election as county clerk of Herkimer county. Of course Quackenbush's own personality really won him the friendship of the voters. but without his motorcycle it would have been impossible for him to come into personal contact with these men.
 MT. Quackenbush knew he was fit ted for the position of county clerk and believed that if he could make a personal canvass of the district, he could convince the voters of this fact. However, the roads of Herkimer county were not suitable for automo- bile traveling-besides he could not afford an autom obile. Time was linn ited, and he knew he could not begin to cover the territory with horse and buggy. Finally someone suggested that he use a motorcycle. He had never ridden one, but the operation seemed simple, so he decided in fla vor of the two-wheeler. He found no difficulty in learning to manage the machine, and on it visited thousands of voters of the county, becoming per sonally acquainted with them and winning their support.
 !. In spite of the opposition of po1iti- clans, Quackenbush was elected clerk of Herkimer county, and to his motor cycle he gives credit for his success.

Automobile News
Beat a Railroad Train.

A prominent member of the house. hold of Resident Gomez of Venezuela says:
 The automobile and not the rail way will conquer the Venezuelan routes of travel for passengers, if not for freight. After President Go- mex and members of his family as well as scores of representatives of the administration departments and officials of the diplomatic service re- gently witnessed the reliability, speed and efficiency of the automobile in a triumph over a special rapid train made up for the presidential party for a trip of 180 kilometers there was no attempt made by President Gomez to veto the opinions of the spectators that in the future American made autom obi1es be utilized for admins tration trips to the Fairs held at Mar acay, the fashionable summer resort located III miles from Caracas.
 '-The Mitchell Baby Six,' occupied by members of diplomatic corps fam lilies who dod not wish to ride in the special train, pulled out of Caracas at the same instant the presidential train started. This automo bile was waiting for the train at the first sched- uled stop and thereafter the passen- gers of the Gomez train found the au- tomobile had arrived and departed from each station along the route ahead of the train.''
