A series of te.sts now being made, if satisfactory, will no doubt result in the establishment of a system of Marconi wireless telegraphy connecting the packing houses of the Armours between Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and Fort Worth, Tex. J. F. Dykes in charge of the telegraph service of Armours said recently "We have no means of knowing, as yet, whether the Marconi system can be made successful but the Armours are going to make such tests as will determine whether the system can be used on land, and if it should prove to J.

Sheriff Correll was a little late in starting but got there just the same, and Saturday afternoon returned with his man who will be kept in the Washington county jail until the June term of court, when he will be tried for the killing of Sheriff Coleman. Speaking of the incidents in connection with his being brought to Kansas we clip the following article from a Denver paper "Strahge adventures of a Sheriff," is the title of a book which XL E. Need, sheriff of Clay county, is expected to write when he returns home. r. Need came to Colorado for extradition papers for William Hoxie, under arrest at Fort Morgan on the charge of escaping from the Clay county jail while awaiting trial on the charge of murdering Sheriff Ed Coleman of Washington county, Kan.

The Armours maintain large forces of telegraph operators at all of their packing plants and have direct wires not only between the company's houses, but also to New York, Boston and other large cities. If the sj-stem should be successful the Armours in Chicago estimate that it would save nearly $200,000 in the mere item of telegraphy between the five Armour houses.

KANSAS NOTES. Whatever liquid may be used in christening the battle ship Kansas, let not any drug store liquor be used. It would a burn hole through the armour plate. The Atchison Glode suggested a suitable "yell" for the college students the day after the oratorical riot, as follows: "Better Behave Ourselves! Extra Police! WTow!" The truancy bill, which has passed both houses and is up to Governor Bailey, is very stringent, but happily it does not go so far as to make "playing hookey" a felony. The -legislature has allowed the governor $3,500 for a new barn and $900 for pictures and other mural decorations.

The barn it seems is going to be nicely decorated. Nick Chiles, another one of Topeka's able negro editors, says of Frank A. Lewis, the moist candidate for mayor "He is backed by the laboring classes as well as the masses." Lindsborg's annual rendition of "The Messiah" by a chorus of 550 voices will be held during the week beginning April 5. Handel never wears out notwithstanding constant usage. Albert Griffin, formerly of Kansas, has started a great temperance revival inChicago.

Three- years agct Mr. Griffin, who had always been an ardent prohibitionist, pronounced the Kansas plan of regulating the liquor traffic a failure. An Emporia man was indignantly denying the charge made by a Topeka man that Emporia is slow. "You come down here some time," said the Emporia man, ''and I'll show you a restaurant that keeps open till 12 o'clock every night." Dell Travis, the new fish commis missioner, lives in Pratt county, which has no rivers. Its nearest approach to streams consists or two creeks one of which flows into Medicine Lodg creek and the other into the north fork of the Ninnescah.

muss intft ung in ajciw rence nas asked the legislature to re-enact the "nuisance clause" of the prohibitory liquor law, which was declared un constitutional by the supreme court Saturday. Lawrence thinks maybe it wouldn't be unconstitutional next time. Some of the car lines have no conductors and upon the motorman to fares. A few days ago in Wichita it devolves collect the a man had left the car without paying and the motorman hailed him. "If you want your money come and get," he said.

The motorman walked to the corner whereupon the man offered him a half dollar. The driver took it and said, "If you want your change come to the car and get it." The client hesitated and asked the motorman to bring it to him. "I can't waste and more time," said the motorman, "you will find your change at the office of the com pany." Then he turned on his power and moved. K. C.

Having just returned from Sioux City, where I was called in January to the bedside of a sick son, it is possible that a lew items in regard to that place will be interesting to the readers of the Register As to the city of Sioux City, it is located on the. northwest corner of Iowa, on the Misiouri river, in a very fertile part of the universe, and it has the advantage of being the most northwest market of the states except the coast. It is the market for all of the northwest cattle and horses.

There are two packing houses with a fine exchange building, and stock yards to accommodate all stock that may arrive. The city has 50,000 inhabitants, with forty miles of street car line in operation. A fine library building well supplied with books, and a fine post-office building. Has a fine college called the Morning Side college, Sioux City Medical college, two business colleges, three German Catholic schools, one Lutheran school, twenty-six public school buildings, with eight thousand school children, fifty churches, six national banks, two saving banks, one private bank, eight saloons, five railroads. The city owns its waterworks.

It has sixteen miles of brick and asphalt paved streets There is a city hospital for contagious diseases with no patients at present. There are three other hospitals I only became acquainted with one which was the St. Josephs Mercy hospital, where my son was, and I can freely recommend this to any patient. The hospital is run by fourteen Sisters and twenty -four nurses. They can accommodate two hundred patients, but average about seventy.

There are no men but the Father (priest), the engineer, and sometimes as men patients are convalescing, they assist some. The hospital is located on a beautiful rise with a nice lawn with shade trees. The building is three stories and heated with steam, and the sisters and nurses all look as neat as a pin and everything in the house and around is as neat and clean as can be made. There is a staff of five doctors of which Dr. Wm.

Jepson is chief of Dr. Chas. M. Wade is secretary. The other three I did not meet, but became better acquainted with Dr.

Wade than the others, and can say he is a gentkman of the highest type, and stands very high in the estimation of the citizens of Sioux City. Ten acres near the college said for twenty-five thousand dollars. One hundred and sixty farms joining town on the east which had been in litigation for a number of years, was sold for eight hundred dollars an acre and will be laid out in town lots and tene ment houses built on it. Other land is worth from fifty to seventy-five dollars an acre, owing to location and improvements. They never raise any winter wheat and owing to the early frost last year their corn is half of it soft and not marketable.

I might say more about the city and country but as this is getting rather lengthy I will close. Hiram S. Close. County Teachers' Association. On account of unfavorable weather morning session of the association the morning was postponed until the afternoon, when Mrs.

C. D. Kiff opened the program with a vocal solo, which was highly appreciated. The round table conducted by C. E.

Ingalls brought out some lively dis cussions as to the requirements of a model school house. Papers on the subject were read by Miss Margaret Ugie and Marjorie Whittet. B. F. Bowers, principal, of the Washington High school, read a very instructive paper on "School Disci pline as it Affects the Pupil's Success in Life," G.

B. Buikstra of Clifton, then pre-: sented his views as to what should be the purpose of the Kansas institute, after which the county superintendent discussed the new law concerning teachers' certificates. county of Washington, but as the jail was undergoing repairs, Hoxie was sent up to Need's jail at Clay Center to await trial. He broke out of there, which made the Washington county officials wrathy. When they learned of Hoxie's arrest at Fort Morgan, Sheriff T.

H. Correll hastened to To- peka to get requisition papers for the prisoner, but Need beat him out. Need secured the papers from Govern or Bailey and came to Colorado. No sooner had Need secured his papers from Governor Peabody, Wednesday, than a telegram arrived from Governor Bailey of Kansas cancelling the order for the papers, savinff that Sheriff Correll of Washington county would come after the prisoner and that he would bring the money for the reward, which Need had neglected to to take with him. While making preparation to go after the prisoner, he stepped into a room at the state house and while there his gun dropped out of his pocket.

When it struck the floor, the weapon was discharged, badly frightening Need and a score of other people who heard the report. Fortunately the bullet did not hit the sheriff. Yesterday Sherriff Correll appeared on the scene and secured the necessary papers which would permit him to take Hoxie back to Kansas. There is evidently some feeling between the sherins. Attorney Ingalls.

Saturday of last week, Claude Ingalls successfully passed the examination in the District court for admission to the bar. It was remarked among attnrneys who were present that the examination was an exceptionally difficult one, and Mr. Ingalls was warmly congratulated on the able manner in which he acquitted himself. His answers indicated a wide and careful reading of the law, and at the close of the examination his qualifica tions were found satisfactory and he was duly admitted to practice. It is worthy of note that Mr.

Ingalls did all of his reading and study at odd hours and during his vacations and when not employed in his professional duties as an instructor in the public schools, a fact which reflects much credit to himself and goes to show what may be accomplished in the spare hours that many find more delightful to idle away in recreative pur suits, but which, if one be inclined to industry and has the grit to work, may be employed to better uses and to individual betterment. Barnes Barnes, Marcn 11, 1903. A reception was held at the home of P. G. Brandt last Thursday evening in honor of Rev.

Livers. Wm. Jones was a Washington caller Thursday. Miss Nora Savoie who has been visiting relatives in the city for some time returned to her home in Clyde Wednesday. Percy Williams returned io Barnes Wednesday after a year's stay in Iowa.

Jenkins former principal of the Barnes schools is visiting friends here this week. Tuesday evening Miss Bertha Wright was very happily surprised by a merry crowd of young people which came to celebrate her twenty-first birthday. The evening was very pleasantly spent in games and refreshments. At a late hour they departed for their many homes all wishing Miss Bertha many happy returns of the event. Elder Graham preached at the Christian church morning and evening.

It will be a matter of interest to know that Baker university has, within the past few years had remakable prosperity. It has had a long and honorable history being the first educational institution established in the-state and numbers among its alumni some of the most prominent and useful men of the state and nation in every walk in life. It has had a part in the education of over fifteen thousand Kansas youth.

Since '98 its housing capacity has been doubled, the value of its equipment in libraries, has been trebled, the-number of students in the college de-partmenthas more than trebled, going from 128 in '08 to almost 400 this year. The total number of students has increased from 512 in '9S to almost 90O this year, making a net increase of almost 400 in five years. Although a large new building was erected last year, this remarkable increase makes another building necessary for the accommodation of the thousand or moro students the institution expects to have next year. It is expected that the new building will be begun as soon as spring opens. It will be quite an honor to the young people of our city who win these prizes and we congratulate them upon their opportunity.

i inese scholarships will be awarded at commencement. Greenleaf, Mar. 3 There was a meeting of several prominent telephone men of northern Kansas, held here today. The purpose of the meeting was to investigate the long distance metallic lines of this The representatives of eastern capitalists made alluring oilers or inducements, which after being well considered, were consented to by those present. Unlimited amount of capital is offered to connect these towns with Missouri river points with good metallic copper wire circuits.

It is only a matter of time until all towns of northern Kansas will be in telephonic connection with Missouri river points. Start Now. To enable pupils to get a good start in music before warm weather, now is the time to begin. Make arrangements with Miss Atwood for lessons, and thereby get a competent, thorough and enthusiastic teacher. Miss Atwood has recently returned from Chicago, where she has been 4t 1 I harmony in the Chicago conservatory, anu is now reauy io uegin teaenmg.

Prior to this she studied and graduated from the Landon conservatory, and also studied with" Mr. Grabill of the University of S. a pupil of Booth, the well known Berlin master. She also has taken normal work fur teachers, thus preparing herself to teach as well as to perforin. Clas lessons in harmony will be given free of charge to advanced pupils.

Without a knowledge of this subject pupils are at almost as great disadvantage as one in attempting to read a French poem without understanding the language. This offer is made to furnish pupils with many of the advantages of a conservatory while studing at home. Studio one block east and three blocks south of sounm. Read the official coanty paper. Lottery Izing Newspapers.

Several of our Kansas exchanges are running voting schemes, gift enterprises, etc in connection with their circulation department. They "give away" pianos, buggies, cooking ranges, watches, and other valuable articles, as an inducement to the public to subscribe, and to their old subscribers to renew. The Beloit Gazette is one of the papers "that Is doing the generous act but has suddenly run up against a ruling from the post-kjffice department to the effect that the Gazette is engaged in a lottery scheme, and will not be allowed to advertise the particulars in its columns and send the" paper through the mails. Mr. Dodge, the editor, yields gracefully, announcing that he will have to quit advertising his generosity, but is going to give away a piano on me 30th of May just the same.

There is one queer thing about this anti-lottery law it seems to work only in spots. Thesa voting schemes have been used by dozens of papers in Kansas during the past year or so, yet Dodge of Beloit is the only man to get "pinched." Kansas City papers are constantly working some sort of lottery scheme, Topeka has 'em. so has Junction. City and Concordia. Beloit seems to be the storm center.

The Washington Republican has just entered the lists for a lottery campaign and has put up a piano to be voted to the most popular lady. In addition to this a buggy will be given to the subscriber whose receipt for a dollar subscription happens to bear the lucky number. Mr. editor, is squaring his conscience, however, by turning his paper over to the Methodist ladies, to run the same for a week and keep the change. We should be sorry to see our brethren lose out on their gift enterprises, yet they deserve it.

The publisher of a good family paper who attempts to push his circulation by such methods ought to be shut out of the mails, and must in any event lose in prestige. He is not only pandering to the gambling instinct of the community, but is lowering the standard of value set upon his publication as moral influence. It is a confession of weakness on the part of the publisher to lottery ize his paper. He might as well raffle off his opinions. Clay Center Times.
