s. c. Wilbur. owner and man
ieer OF the Mooarch Broom
Works, located about eight miles
southwest Of Baxter Springs, re-
turned home Saturday after a
trip out over the state in search
OF broom corn for his factory
which by the way, has an output
Of about 100 dozen brooms a dav.
He succeeded in picking up three
cars of excellent straw at Savon-
berg. Kss., but was obliged to
paw record-breating price,
$4,000 a ton. Last year the
came straw sold for about $50.
He attributes the rise In the main
to light production. Mr.. Wilbur
says II means that the housewife
will in the future have to pay SO
cents for a very ordinary broom
while extra good brooms must
sell for rs or so cents. In his
factory Mr.. Wilbur employs
seven to ten hands and at the
factory location is a small com:
muuity where the workmen live
with their families. Here is a
striking example of what de-
termination will do in the way OF
overcoming obstacles. The owner
of this factory Is q blind man and
has been blind since boyhood.
He learned his trade in the school
for the blind, came back home
established himself the business
which he has developed to its
present proportions. he makes
and excellent broom and the de-
mand for his product is constant
" increasing. He is a keen
buyer of broomcorn, going into
the fields and making his bids on
the feel of the article. When q
man under such a handicap can
90 ahead and make a success OF
his business, we who are so fortu.
nate as to possess our sight and
other senses ought never to blame
anyone but ourselves If we fail.

Mothers are sometimes as
thoughtless az to neglect the
colds which their children con.
sract. The Inflammation Of the
mucous membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, 4 disease
that is seldom cured and that
may prove 4 life's burden. Many
persons who have this loathsome
disease will remember having
had frequent colds at the time 1t
was contracted. A little fore
thought, a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy iudiciously used,
and all this trouble might have
been avoided. Obtaiuable every.

EWART WINS
ON APPEAL
Given. Valuable Mining Lease
Near Pitcher. 81

The Circuit Court OfAppeais
of the United States, has just
handed down an 0pinios reversing
the United States district court
for the Eastern district of Okla,
homa, thereby giving to PA
Ewart the title to a ten year
mining lease on a 100 acre tract
lying one-half a mile southeast Of
the Pitcher Developments In Okla.
homa; the lease has grown to
to be quite valuable, BY reason Of
it's proximity to the Pitcher devel.
opmeuts, and to the fact that .
large and paving body Of ore has
been discovered upon Il.
In his petition the plaintiff
alleged that as a matter of con-
veuience, Ewert asked A. L.
Jones, then a Notary Public Of
Baxter Spring, Kansas, to take 4
mining lease on the particular
tract of land in the name of him
(Jones) as the agent OF Ewerh BY
reason of the fact that the Indian
allottees lived south Of Baxter
Springs, and the same was 90
taken so that the lease might be
timely recorded at Miami before
the Indian allottees might posi-.
bly, be induced to give the lease
to another person after giving
the lease in question. The lease
was taken several years ago, be.
fore mineral was discovered near
Pitcher, and was not thought to
be valuable.
As soon as ore was. discovered
near Pitcher, Ewert asked Jones
to assign the lease to him 80 that
he might suitcase the land; know
ing that the land had become
valuable, Jones refused to assign
the lease, which was not in writ
ing.
Suit was instituted in the
United States district conrt, for
the Eastern district of Oklahoma,
and the court there held that
while the equities were with
Ewert, the agreement was not In
writing as required by the statute
of frauds, and therefore the court
could not grant the relief. The
case was appealed to the circuit
court of appeals for the United
States for the Eighth circuit and
was argued at St. Paul in last
May. That court has now handed
down 4 decision holding that the
statute of frauds did not apply
to a transaction of this nature
and that the lower court should
enter an order directing that
Jones held the lease in trust for
Ewert. and compelling an assign
ment thereof to him.
During the period of litigation,
the land has become very valu-
able and the decision of the
matter has been watched with 4
degree of interest by the conflict.

American Gets UltImatum

San Diego, Cal, June 19-An ul
timatum amounting practically to 9
declaration OF war against the United
States was served Friday on Com
mander Arthur G.. Kavanagh, of tht
gunboat Annapolis. by General Flores
Carranza governor OF the State OF 81
naloa, according to a radiogram sem
from the Annapolis at Mazation and
received here today by Admiral Wins
low, Commander-in-chief of the Pa
cihc feet
Owing TO the low-powered radio sci
of the Annapolis dlfrculty had been
experienced in communicating with
the gunboat but enough facts have
come through to indicate that General
Flores has taken a hostile stand
against Americans and that II was his
refusal to permit Americans to leave
Mazalan that resulted in the clash
Sunday between the bluejackets OF tbs
Annapolis and the Mexicans, charac-
terized as Carranza soldiers. The ex-
act substance OF his ultimatum has
not yet been received.
According to the reports received the
commander OF the Annapolis advised
all Americans in the vicinity Of Maza-
tlan 10 leave as soon as possible.

Washington, June 19--Upon General
Carranzas reception Of stern refusal
to heed his demand for recall of Amer
lean troops from Mexico hinges the
question of a war with Mexico, In the
opinion OF President Wilson's close
advisers. They were prepared tonight
for the possibility of open hostilities
after the note, which will be sent for
ward tomorrow, has reached Carran-
za's hands.
No indication has come that the
first chiefs attitude of implacable hos
tility would be shaken by the reiter-
ated declaration of the latest commun'
ication that the United States has nc
aggressive or warlike purpose toward
Mexico, but is firmly resolved to pro-
tect her borders and end brigandagt
in the border states.
The reply to Carranza's note de-
handing the recall of General Perish
ing's expedition was in the hands Of
the printer tonight, preparatory to its
delivery and publication tomorrow
Secretary Lansing had intended to
send 1t forward today but at the las
minute minor changes and additions
to the 6,000-word document necessi
tated delay. Although It had beer
planned to send It by special messen
ger to Mexico City the situation has
changed and it probably viii be hand
ed to Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican am
hassador designate.

While the diplomatic steps were il
progress today, the nation was stir

At least 100000 and possibly a far
larger number we're preparing for &C
tive service under President Wilson's
call. For the present their mission
will be purely one of defense, bu
should war come, they will be ready al
so for that. No marching orders fol
the new forces had gone out tonight
They will be assigned for border duty
until mustered into the Federal ser
vice.
Even when mobilization is COM
pleted, only such units will be order
ed south as General Funston desires
to I'LL the gaps in his 1880 mobiliza'
ton camps for the present awaiting
the turn OF events.
Official reports from many quarters
show that a flame OF popular feel,
ing against the United States is be-
ing kindled throughout Mexico.
Apparently it is being done with
the sanction of General Carranza for
the acts in many cases are those OF
his authorized military or civil
agents.
