RAISE MORE RHUBARB
Kansas Farmers in Arkansas River
Valley Produce New Crop.

Kansas farmers tilling the soil in
the Arkansas river valley in the vicin-
ity of Hutchinson, Wichita, and Ar
kansas City are about to put the state
on the map as a big producer of rhu-
barb. Acting under the direction of
experts at the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college many farmers in the Ar
kansas valley this season put in small
patches of the sauce and pie delicacy.
One of them, Frank Robbins south
of Wichita, who put in two and one
half acre patch, sold eight tons of
stalks for a gross return of $1,000.
Farmers having smaller patches re-
,ceived proportionate returns for
their smaller crops.
Indications are that the rhubarb
patches will be made larger next year,
and Kansas will be given a new ship
ping crop"

CHAMPAGNE BEAT CHARLES
Ex-Emperor Had to Celebrate
Entry Into Hungary at Crucial
Moment, and High School Boys
Caused His Third Downfall.

Berlin, Oct 29.-Former Emperor
Charles's taste for champagne was
chiefly responsible for the failure of
his royalist coup, according to news
from Budapest today.
It is now believed certain in many
circles in Hungary that the monarch
ist adventure would have succeeded in
taking Budapest in surprise if Charles
and generals had acted swiftly.
But upon arriving at Odenburg,
Charles wasted twenty-four hours in
celebrating his "triumphal return"
with an elaborate champagne feast.
Former Empress Zita is said to
have demonstrated against the delay,
pointing out to her husband that ev-
cry minute counted. The ex-monarch
was so sure of success, however, that
he moved with the utmost leisure.
It now develops that the battle on
Sunday was decided against Charles's
monarchist forces by volunteer high
school students.
The report that Charles attempted
suicide originated from his violent
weeping spells, during which he
sobbed out his determination to lend
ALL" However, he never made any
actual attempt to take his own life.

ROAD SOLD AGAIN?
Latest RumOr Has 1t That
Santa Fe Buys X. C. & N. w.
HoItOn Editor Here to Pick Up
Threads of Story.

Sam Osterhold, editor of the Holton
Signal, is in Topeka trying to pick
up the threads of a story that the
Santa Fe is figuring on buying the
defunct Kansas City & Northwestern
railroad This line runs from Kan
sas City to Virginia, Neb., thru Oska-
loosa, Valley Falls, Holton and SEN
eca. It was operated by the Missouri
Pacific until the war; when it was
abandoned.
This week Osterhold printed the
rumor of the Santa Fe's alleged in
terest in the project, giving credit to
inspectors who lately have been going
over the road, but Santa Fe officials
here were unable to furnish any in
formation on the subject.
"AIl 1 know about it is what 1 read
in the Holton Signal which was
brought to my attention by Mr. Oster-
hold" said 3. L. Copeland. secretary
and treasurer of the Santa Fe.
A report to the effect that the Santa
F'e would buy the Kansas City &
Northwestern came in an inquiry from
the State Journal at Lincoln, Neb.,
this afternoon. The paper is printing
a story to the effect that inspectors
told citizens of Summerfield and
Brookwalter that the Santa Fe would
take over the property November L.
The Leavenworth Times also called
up about the story.
In the last year rumor has hooked
up the Union Pacific, the Burlington
and the Chicago e. Great Western
railroads with the Chicago & North
western, but nothing happened. The
Santa Fe story perhaps will go the
same way. That's the opinion around
the Santa Fe general offices.

Anyway it is evident that about
1900 men in Shawnee county do not

many hunting licenses have been is
sued by Douglas Graham, county
clerk, since the fiscal year began June
1. Most of them, of course, have been
issued within the last two months and
still the would be stalkers of ferccious
animals keep on placing applications
for licenses.
More Licenses Than Usual
The number is rather heavier than
usual, according to Graham. Accord
ing to the Nimrods who have been in
action so far this year there is a plen-
tiful supply of rabbits and squirrels.
From the duck hunters come COM
plants that ducks ere scarce, in spite
of persistent rumors from other quar-
tiers that they are plentiful. Once in a
while one comes a osS a hunter who
boasts of having made a good bag
but the dismal howl of failure is
louder in the land than the shout of
triumph. The same things apply to
geese.
The rabbits. it is claimed, are not
only plentiful, but of good quality
Also they are tame. The hunter who
is distrustful of his own craftsmanship
can almost sneak up and take them
prisoners, it has been asserted. Per-
haps a handful of salt taken along for
emergencies would prove a boon in
this respect.
Cartridges Are High.
The price of cartridges and shells
remains high. altho hunters search the
newspapers in vain for an account of
any war in which the United States is
now engaged. The nearest they come
to finding something of this nature is
an account of William Jennings Bryan
being arrested for speeding.
OF course it is still a little early in
the season for squirrel hunting to be
good. There are too many leaves on
the trees. The weather is ideal, for
the sunshine brings the risky little
! rodents out into the open for food and
play. But they can lose themselves
so easily among the leaves that it is
difficult to get a shot at them.
The hunting fever, however, has
reached only the preliminary stage
| Wait until snow begins to fly. Then
, the armed hosts will take the field
and march to victory. Then the

barricade and post up numerous signs

first thing that appears boldly in view
is the newly completed Lincoln me-
mortal, one OF the most beautiful and

This massive, simple building of en-
during granite, rises in solemn, sol1-

monument.
The plan of the building is rectan-

the portico, forming a low clear story
| without windows. An imposing flight
| of steps leads up to the stylobate. The
designer of the memorial is Henry Ba-
con, well known New York architect.
1t took just ten years to erect the
structure.
Inside the building is a colossal
seated statue of Abraham Lincoln, by
Daniel Chester French. 1t is the CEN
trail and dominating object of the
room and fully expresses, as was in
tended, the gentleness. power and in
