London, July 12.-Having failed

is showing itself anxious for peace.
No formal armistice has yet been
arranged, but 1t is believed HOSTILE
ties virtually are ending. 1t is fear
ed, however, that the settlement Of
peace conditions will prove long

stand in strongly entrenched position
near Demirhissar, on the left bank
of the Struma river, and on the adj
jacent heights Of Intrina, which
we're well defended with siege artil-
lery. The heavy guns effectively
delayed the advance of the Greek
infantry, and as the Greek artillery
was outranged, the battle was indie
cisive for considerable time.
Under cover Of darkness. however.
the attack was renewed. and in bril-
liant charge the Greeks dislodged
the Bulgarians from the heights and
drove them across the Struma.

LIGHTNING STRIKES FOURTH
TIME IN SAME PLACE

Cottonwood Falls. July 12.-Strik-
ing in the same spot four times is
the freak lightning has played on
the Lind farm, a mile from Stat
fordville. Each time 1t has struck
barns and twice has set them on fire,
burning them to the ground. During
an electrical storm this week, light
ming struck the Lind barn for the
fourth time, completely destroying 1t
together with valuable contents by
fire. When members Of the Lind
household rushed to the burning
building to try to rescue the live
stock, they found a stallion, worth
$500, had been killed by the same
bolt which had set the barn afire.
Twice before, It is said, lightning
struck q barn on the same site, but
did not set 1t on fire. A third time.
however, 1t was burned to the ground
and a new building was put up In
the same place, which is the one
just destroyed this week.

OF Charles Stevens, charged with
stealing at Kansas City q mail pouch
containing $4,000, viii be on hand
to take Charles Stevens in custody
when he is released from the penI-
Tertiary tomorrow or Monday. Stew

letters. The two first crimes were
alleged to have been committed IN
Missouri, the third in Kansas.
Arrangements are being made
here by Stevens attorneys to give,

SALIVA sPORTsMEN PROTEST.
New Federal Game Law Unfair to
Kansans.

Salina, July 12.-The members
of the Salina Sportsmen's club will
ask President Wilson not to sign
the national game law as it has been
passed by congress and have already
started a campaign. among the
sporting clubs of Kansas to arouse
general opposition to certain fea-
lures of the bill and to secure a
change in it that will be more fav-
orable to the hunters Of Kansas.
This was decided at the annual
meeting Of the members of the club
held in Salina last evening.
The principal feature in the ma
tional game law to which the local
men Nobject is that it prohibits all
spring shooting. This means that
duck hunting in this part of Kansas
will be largely cut oft. The ducks
that visit this part of the country
are migratory and are only here for
a short time and the sportsmen feel
that it is an injustice for them to
be barred from shooting them at
the time they fly over. They also
object to the provision that there
shall be no hunting after sunset or
before sunrise in the fall.

Topeka, July 1.-THE big fight
next year among Kansas Democrat
will be over the United States sen
atorial nomination. and some OF the
opening guns in the battle may BE-
fired before the year Is over. 1t II
probable State Senator A. B. Carney
Of Concordia will be a candidate for
the nomination. Carney was here to-
day.
"If I run for any office next
year" he said, 'it will be for the
United States senate. / will decide

l would be candidate for governor
or that l would make the race for
congress. These are unfounded. If
run for anything, it will be the
senate and am in good fighting
trim"
1t begins to look as If the battle
for the Democratic nomination for
United States senator next year will
be five-sided. Henderson Martin,
chairman of the Kansas public utiii-
ties commission, and former chair
man of the Democratic state COM
mittee; James w. Orr of Atchison,
a representative in the last legisla-
ture, and house floor leader; State
B. P. Waggener, and Major
w. l.. Brown, speaker of the last
house of representatives, are all be-
lieved to be grooming for the toga.
No formal announcements have been
made by any of these, but 1t is gen
orally believed they will run.
Little is heard as to probable can
didates on the state ticket. Cover
nor Hodges will be a candidate to
succeed himself, according to his
friends.
But one candidate is being men

GARNISHMENT LAW is n
MAKING FOLKS PAY BILLS

Quite number of Abilene mer-
chants and tradesmen are taking
advantage of the recently enacted
garnishment law, which permits of a
creditor attaching the wages and
personal earnings of a debtor to
apply towards the payment of claims
standing against them. The law
allows 10 per cent of a debtors
wages to be applied to the payment
of his debt, and costs to the amount
of 81 in each action may in addi-
tion be applied. For instances: A
man has a $4,000 judgment stand
ing against him. He is receiving a
salary of $40 per month. Attach
'ment may be run against his wages,
and 10 per cent of his salary, 81,
and costs to the amount of 81, max
ing a total of So that may be taken
out of his $40. And the operation
may be repeated once month. II,

lows garnishment to run each month
it will take him ten months to pay
the debt and in the mean time he
will have paid just exactly the same
sum in costs, or $50 all told, for
the original $40. The first law

ernor Hodges, allowed 25 per cent

STATE PAYS PRISONERS
TEN CENTS A DAY.

Kansas is now paying the prison.
ers of the Kansas penitentiary ten
cents a day and the money is to be
used to help the dependent families
of the prisoners. w. L. Brown,
chairman of the board of corrections,
announced that the new rate went
into effect at the prison July / and
would be put into effect at the re-
formatory as soon as possible.
Heretofore Kansas has been al
lowing three and three-Quarters
cents a day to each prisoner to be
given him upon his release and as
something on which he could start
life anew. The 1918 legislature
passed the law increasing that to-
ten cents a day and If there are de-
pendent children of the prisoner or
a wife dependent upon him the prison
board is to pay the money to the
dependents instead Of to the prisoner
on his release.
When the bill was up an effort
was made to make the payments
twenty-five cents a day for the pri-
soners with relatives and ten cents
a day to those without relatives, but
the legislature refused to make the
allowance.
