If the lovers of honey find that the market is short on this delicious sweet, it is due to a successful raid made by a of bees the apiary of a Kansas street bee man. He had gathered his surplus honey and for want of time left his frames covered up in the the open air for a more convenient season to extract his crop but when he came to finish his labor he found that a horde of bees had cleaned the combs and he was minus much good honey.

FOR MORE ON FOOTBALL. borne of the Advantages of the Big Game. Editor Telegram: In arguing against football it seems to be somewhat out of order to drift on the subject of the degrad ing effects of tobacco on young man- hood. Anyone who has the least knowledge of the rules of training as I prescribed by the athletic boards and trainers, knows that a candidate for a team who is causrhT u-tirgl i tobacco is warnexl upon first offense .,,,.1 1 I uiili i iiuiu me: itrain um i continuing to break the rules. The' I same idea obtains among the hieh i i scnool teams, although it cannot be so strictly enforced because no training table is established on account of the exK'iise.

It is an accepted fact that the young man who is healthful physically is in majority of cases healthful morally and menially. If he spends some of his spare time at football and other atnletics, he is bound to sharpen his wits, im prove his staying powers, and it will I give him the faculty of accepting a situation no matter from which side) it comes and decide upon the instant how to cope successfully with the problem. It takes his mind off his studies and refreshes it for the grind iilHn the morrow. It acts as a short vacation, for what is a vacation more than giving up your( daily work and training your tnoughts and energies along an opposite direction.

WILCOX. LEG WAS AMPUTATED. Jesse Simmons of Deerfield Under- went Serious Operation. i Jesse, tiie ten year old son of W. R.

Simmons of Deerfield suffered the amputation of his right leg between the knee and hip at the Helwigj hospital this morning. The amputa-; tion, which was necessitated by a compound fracture of the femur near; the knee joint, was quite successful and it is thought that the boy will recover from it in nice shape. The am nutation was made by Dr. O. L.

Helwig. The boy had his leg broken by getting it caught in a buggy wheel some four weeks ago. He was brought to the hospital a few days after the accident occurred but the break was of such a nature that it was feared the leg could not be saved. For some time the bones were apparently uniting but traces of blood poisoning were noticed this week and an amputation was deemed necessary. i i I NINE OF THEM STARTED FROM ST.

J. HEDGER IS AWARDED A CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR HIS UNSELFISH HEROISM. SAVED A MAN'S LIFE His Deed Was Brought to the Attention of the Commission Who Recognized it in a Handsome Manner. A Pittsburg dispatch states that gold medal and $3,600, with which to educate his four children has been given by the Carnegie hero fund commission to Andrew J. Hedger, formerly county superintendent of schools at Santa Fe, but now of Gar den- City.

The medal is given for Mr. Hedger's heroism in rescuring Joseph II. King from death and recoverng the body of William H. Xunn near Pierceville. November 27 of last year.

The case showed remarkable heroism on the part of Mr. Hedger. King and Xunn, both farmers, were repairing a drilled well seventy-six feet deep. They dug a hole along the side of the pipe thirty-six feet deep. A ton or more of earth caved from the top of the hole, burying both men.

Xunn was suffocated and King was buried to his arm pits. A man at the top of the hole mounted a horse and gave the alarm. Mr. Hedger, who was at the time superintendent of Haskell county, was visiting a school two miles away. He arrived at the scene an hour after the accident.

Several farmers were discussing ways and means to rescue the ran. Mr. Hedger asked for volunteers to aid him. Xone offered themselves. Then he offered to draw lots.

This proposition was also declined. Hedger is five feet, ten inches tall and weighs 200 pounds. When the farmers refused to aid him he camly wrote his name in a book, whote the names and addresses of his children, and gave them, together with his life insurance policy, to one of the party. He was lowered into the hole and after working two hours with a fire shovel released King, who was drawn to the surface. Fastening a rope around Xunn's body.

Hedger then allowed himself to be drawn out of the hole. Within a short time after his work was accomplished another cavein occurred. Hedger's wife has been confined in a hospital eight years. His children are Ifi, 14." 12 and 10 years old. The case was brought to the attention of the hero commission by Mrs.

K. A. Davis of Haskell county. Last July Mr. Campsey of the medal commission came out and investigated the details.

His report was evidently favorable from the recent dispatch. Mr. Hedger. when seen in regard to the matter, said that he had not yet heard from the commission. The news was hardly a surprise to him as he had been interviewed by -Mr.

Campsey and knew that the commission was considering taking the action. ern dance was likewise charged with being an evil seed that produces much ruin and misery. In support of his contention the speaker called for the testimony of the highest authorities in science and in ethics. He also produced the testimony of many of the victims of the evils denounced to show that his position on these matters was well taken. He enlarged on the law that you reap more than you sow, and oited many illustrations and examples of the truth of this assertion.

The speaker agreed with his imaginary guest that these were some of the most prominent causes of the harvest of ruin. Other things too numerous to rention contributed their part but these are among the chief seeds of evil. He closed with an appeal to his congregation to change the kind of harvest by changing the kind of seed sown. EARTH QUAKED. But it Was Far Away in the South Seas.

JOSEPH DILLON WHOSE DEATH OCCURRED IN KANSAS CITY LIVED HERE. WAS PIONEER EDITOR He Published a Paper Here in the Early Eighties. Two Cotton-woods Planted by Him are Still Standing.

The news of the death of Joseph in Kansas City Friday night calls to mind -Mr. Dillon's work as a pioneer Western Kansas editor, riis Lakin established in 1S79, was the first Kansas paper west of Dodge City. This he conducted for some time and then he came to the rapidly growing Garden City and established the Irrigator, one of the leading early day publications of the town. It has been many years since the Irrigator was discontinued and few except the old timers remember the office which stood south of where K. M.

Lawrence coal sheds now stand. The paper, however, had an important place in the enterprises of the town. Two cottouwood trees which stand a short distance north of the Ash Park hotel were planted by Dil- Ion and they are said to be the first trees planted on Main street. After leaving Garden City Mr. Dillon went to Kansas City and for ten years he had charge of the circulation of the old Kansas City Times.

In 1S94. he was defeated on the Democratic ticket for auditor in Kansas and in 1900 refused the same nomination from tne fusion party. Mr. Dillon left a widow and eight children. C.

He was unsuccessful politically in the western portion of the state, moving to Kansas City prior to the boom which visited that' section and since that time has been engaged in literary work in various capacities. There are numerous stories told by the old timers in Garden City of the political -work of Joe Dillon to whom Buffalo Jones always charged his defeat for the legislature when he made his campaign against II.

acting first assistant postmaster general, this morning: "The representative of rihs office who recently investigated the application for the establishment of city delivery service at your office states that the houses are not numbered, street signs are not posted at intersections and the sidewalks have not all been laid in all the territory proposed to be served. Action will therefore be deferred until this office is a.dvised that the requirements of the regulations have been met." The letter while refusing the application for the present leaves the matter open and as soon as the conditions are. complied with Garden City will get the service. The major requirement, the receipts, has been met handsomely and it will be but a few months until the other conditions will justify the department in putting in the service.

W. KIRKPATRICK SPOKE OF DANCES, CARD PARTIES AND THEATERS. CALLED THEM EVILS Said the Bad Condition Found in the Cities is Due to tna Influence of These Factors. Spoke Plainly. Speaking on the text, "lie not de- ceived; God is not mocked; for what-' soever a man soweth that shail he alao reap." Rev.

J. W. Kiikpatrick preached a strong seiinon at the Methodist church last night. Many hard blows to present conditions were given in the sermon. The said "home people seem to i have th iiight they could outwit the I Aliighty.

They seem think they can evade and disobey he laws of I nature and escape the penalty for their violation. Our text asserts a iiniversial and an unchangeable law." Here the speaker introduced an imaginary guest from another world who had come to earth to leant about moral and social conditions. The speaker represented himself as escort, and proceeded with iiis guest on a tour inspecting social conditions. The speaker's guest was shown the fine things of earth until he began to suspect that he had not been shown the whole truth, and and pressed the speaker for the facrs. "Reluctantly but conscientiously," said the speaker, "I proceeded to show him the darker side of social conditions on earth.

fie told of showing the dark side of the picture and said, "I next take my guest on a slumming expodition in one of our great cities. I show him our awful tenement system of living, with its vice and crime and ruin. We pass through districts wholly devoted to drunkenness, prostitution and gambling. My guest asks as the probably number of such people in our land. I tell him that the best authorities state that there are more than a hundred thousand drunkards in cur country and probably over two hundred thousand fallen women, and that the number of men of impure, and immoral life is said to be five t'imes that of the number of such women.

My guest is astonished beyond measure! If it was not for the statistics and evidences he could nor believe it. We now fall into a discussion of these social conditions and my guest insists that there must be some reason for all this misery and harvest of ruin. "I explain to him that they are so many unavoidable incidents of our civilization: Sort of freaks of nature! That they are so many unaccountable accidents or irrigularities of our social life! That they probably have no very definite cause and must always be expected, etc. "My guest looks at me in astonishment and disgust, at my explanation. He replies, "Sir.

have you never learned that fundamental law. that every effect must have an adequate canst'. These things are not accident, or freaks of nature. Not caprice, but law inexorable law pre-1 sides over all these. This harvest of ruin is the result of sowing.

These (fleets have adequate causes back of them. And I insist that you assist me in finding the cause or causes for all this I must confess that my guest is right, and I must find a cause for this harvest of ruin. Where shall we seek for it? Shall we lay it at the door of the home, or the school, or the church? Shall we charge it up to our civil laws and government?" The speaker admitted that all these thinks might be in a measure to blame. He admitted that they were not always just what they might be; but he protested stoutly against charging up this harves of ruin to the very institutions that were the cause of the best in civilization. He continued his quest for a cause of this ruin and finally landed on several things which he charges with the greatest responsibility for the deplorable conditions mentioned He referred first the extent of the tobacco evil and its ruinous effects on the physicial and moral man, quoting an arrav of statistics and authorities.

Next the liquor traffic came in for its full share of condemnation. He showed the effects and extent of the use of liquors and charged much of the poverty, insanity, crime and ruin its existence. The gambling mania came in for its part of the responsibility of this ruin. All forms and kinds of gambling from the parlor card party to the stock exchange were charged with being productive of much ruin and misery in society. The theater with its low standard of moral and social life constantly held up to the mind of the youth received unsparing condemnation.
