CAWKER CITY HISTORY.
A Buffalo Killed in Town Same Year
Newspaper Was Started.

Cawker City, Kan, April 6.-Late as
1872 buffalo was killed on the town
site of Cawker City. The Cawker City
Record was started the same year.
The present proprietor and owner of
the Record is L. L. Alrich, who has
printed it continuously for thirty
three years. With the exception of
half a dozen issues of the paper he
has been present to see the printing
of the paper and most of the time
he has done the work on the hand
press himself. In fact, there has new
er been an issue of the paper since Mr..
Alrich owned 1t when some member
of the family was not present to wit
ness its publication
Every piece of type and all the
presses are paid for. Mr.. Alrich says
he prefers it this way rather than
buying an automobile and sticking a
plaster on it.
Mrs Emma B. Alrich, his wife, is
a faithful helpnlate in the publica-
ton of the Record and is a practical
printer as is her husband. Mr.. AIrich
was postmaster of his town one term
while his wife filled the office OF de-
partment president of the w. r. C.

CURTIS GUILD DIES.
Three Times He Was Governor OF
Massachusetts.

Boston, April 6.-Curtis Guild, for
mer governor of Massachusetts, and
former ambassador to Russia, died
early today.
Curtis Guild, Jr., was ambassador TO
Russia for two years during PRESIDENT
Taft's administration and was three
times governor of Massachusetts. He
attained unusual distinction as pub
lie speaker through his ability to ad-
dress an audience with ease in any one
of several languages. In 1909, at the
invitation of the Swiss government
and Geneva university, he delivered
an address in French at 35oth ami
yersary of the birth of John Calvin.
He represented the American Unitar-
ian association on this occasion and
the university awarded him the de-
gree of doctor of sacred theology. He
had a string of degrees from other
universities.
President Taft in 1910 designated
Mr. Guild as special ambassador to
represent the United States at the CEN
tennia1 celebration of the Independ-
ence of Mexico, and at one of the
functions in Mexico City he gave an
address in Spanish. While he was
governor, he surprised some Japan
csc visitors to Massachusetts, by ad-
dressing a few words to them in their
native language and with a brief
speech in Italian he welcomed the
Duke of the AbruZzi.
Mr.. Guild was born in Boston, Feb
ruary 2, 1860.
Mr.. Guilds illness began in a cold

TEST MORTGAGE LAW
Suit by Topeka Lawyer Filed in
Supreme Court.

Suit to test the constitutionality of
the new mortgage registration tax
law has been filed in the supreme
court. The case was filed by Bennett
r. Wheeler, a Topeka lawyer, against
Matt Weightman, jr, county treasurer
of Shawnee county.
Basis for a test suit was formed
when Weightman as treasurer refused
to indorse his official receipt on a
mortgage offered for registration.
Wheeler then filed suit in the supreme
court asking for an alternative writ
of mandamus. Weightman contends
that the new law is unconstitutional
and for this reason refused to observe
it's provisions.
The mortgage registration tax law
was passed by the recent legislature.
1t had been considered at three pre-
viouS sessions, passed in 1913, but died
in conference when the session ended.
Governor Capper signed the bill after
previously declaring that he would
permit the measure to become a law
without his signature. The law pro-
vides a recording tax of 15 cents per
hundred dollars on all mortgages, the
fee to be paid in the county where the
property is located. This provision
means the loss of thousands of dollars
in revenue to the state and local as
seSSment districts.
1t is probable that the case will be
advanced by the supreme court and
an early hearing ordered.

Valuation in Topeka.
Work of Examining Properties
Has Reached Kansas.
SHIPPERS TO COOPERATE
Satisfying Results of Santa Fe
Meeting in Dallas.
Other Items of General Interest
i'm the Traffic World.

A party of engineers are in eastern
Kansas, with headquarters in Topeka
and Mcfarland, who are working on
the physical valuation of the chicago
Rock Island & Pacific lines in Kansas.
c. B. Spencer is in charge of the party.
The federal commission making
valuation of the various American
railways has now reached the ROCK
Island in Kansas. Another party is
IN northern Kansas. A member of the
Rock Island engineering staff accom-
panies each party, acting as pilot. The
expense is borne by the United States
government.
The federal plan for finding the
valuation of railroad properties was
Endorsed by the roads themselves. Ex-
perts handle the work. For instance,
one or two track specialists will figure
down to dollars and cents the physical
value of a certain mileage of rails,
roadbed, ties. Another expert on land
will know the right of ways worth
Electrical engineers will look at the
electrical equipment of the railroads
Others will test out the block signals.
Parties will visit the shops of the
steam lines, the stations, sidetracks,
office buildings, and the work is pro-
crossing slowly but surely.
When the federal examination is
finished, then the railroads and the
government alike will know the exact
physical value, down to nickels and
dimes, of each and every railway sys-
tenn in the country.

give us earnest cooperation to the ex-
tent of exercising greater care in the
selection of containers, for light ship
ments, and in the preparation of heavy
articles to stand the rigors of a freight
haul"
Mr.. Maegly, in speaking of the meet
ing, said: The Santa Fe will do its
part by providing the most efficient
service, that can be devised in loading
and unloading freight, our depot

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has new
err failed to remove dandruff at once,
and that is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, common
liquid arvon from any drug store (this
is all you will need), apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sin
gle sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous
glossy, silky and soft. and look and
feel a hundred times better.-Adv.

Chicago, April 6.-The first gov

In the first fifteen years of a sleep
ing car porter's service, Mr.. Hunger
ford said, he receives $3.50 a month
in wages At the end of fifteen years,
he. like other service employees, au-
tomatfcally receives an advance of 5
per cent, which makes his pay $28.87
month. In the first ten years of
service he buys $3.50 worth of uni
takes on this burden. A bonus system
gives men with good records an extra
months pay for the year. In 1913, 70

cent OF the porters received the bo-

HITS TWO CENT FARE.
Federal Judge in Arkansas Declares
Rate ConfiScatory.

Little Rock. Ark, April 6.-Arkan-
sas' two cent passenger rate and the
commission freight tariff as applied
to the st. Louis & San Francisco rail-
road In Arkansas were declared con-
fiScatory Monday and the state per-
petually enjoined from enforcing a
two cent 1ntrastate rate upon that
company by Judge Trieber in the
United States court. The assessed
valuation of the railroad in Arkansas
and the returns of the railroad for a
certain period showing a division of
the intrastate and the interstate bust
ness, passenger and freight, was given
by the railroad company. Upon the
railroads valuation, the return within
the state was shown to be virtually
nothing on intrastate business and the
earnings from interstate business at a
three cent fare was but little more
than 5 per cent. The total valuation
of Frisco property in Arkansas is about
$27,00O,O00.

the latter city and Manhattan. If
these reports and rumors come true,
eastern Kansas will have an electric

Applying this Paste
Actually Removes Hair
(Beauty Notes.)

Merely applying an inexpensive
paste to a hairy surface, say beauty
specialists, will dissolve the hairs.
This paste is made by mixing a little
water with some powdered delatone;
after about 2 minutes it is rubbed
off and the skin washed. This sim
pie method not only removes every
trace of hair, but leaves the skin free
from blemish. To insure success with
this treatment, be careful to get real

Hard times make every woman
look to see where she can save
money, which, of course, is SEN
sible and proper if not carried
too far.
In the case of food it would be
foolish to attempt to substitute
sawdust for a breakfast food
because it is cheaper. Everyone
knows sawdust has no food value
and it's use would be positive
detriment to the health.
Alum baking powders may cost
little less than cream Of tartar
powders like Royal, but many Of
the highest food authorities both
in this country and abroad have
declared them to be injurious and
not safe to use.
