Carl Pieper, a homesteader living near Brewster, in Thomas county, and well known to the musical people of Goodland, will appear in the third symphony concert given by the Denver Orchestral association in that city Friday. Mr. Pieper is a finished French horn player. In this concert the Denver orchestra is augmented by the addition of two more French horns and more stringed instruments. Mr.

Pieper is widely-known in the world, having been a prominent player for maqy years in the orchestras of Theodore Thomas, Dr. Damrosch, Anton Seidl and Frank Von der Stucken. He studied under Dr. Kullack, of Berlin, and is considered one of the best performers on that difficult instrument. Mr.

Pieper played a French horn solo in the opera house in Goodland two years ago at the graduating exercises of the Goodland schools. He was in this city two weeks ago on hu way to Denver for a vacation and a visit with the musical fraternity there. Mr. Pieper is a German by birth and his English speech carries the peculiar accents of that language. He settled on a homestead in Thomas county a number of years ago, and it seems unwonted that he should have left the populous cities and his loved profession for the life of the farmer.

But still the musical sounds of years past still come to him, and for the present he is back within the environment that has surrounded the greater part of his life. BUILDING AN OIL DEPOT. Standard Oil Company Tank and Ituild-ing at Colby, Their Distributing Foint. The large amount of oil sales of the Standard Oil company in western Kansas has warranted it in establishing a station at Colby, where gasoline and coal oil will be stored in large quantities and shipped from that point to the sur rounding towns. This move will give the patrons of the company a quicker freight sen-ice, and perhaps will reduce the company's expense of keeping a traveling man on the road in this part of the country.

If this is true, the oil king should put the price of their product down to a more reasonable figure. "Billy" Owens, the company's salesman, when in Goodland last, said the establishing of the station at Colby might end his route in north west Kansas. The erection of the company's build ing and tanks is being made near the railroad tracks at Colby, and oil will be shipped there in carload lots. Report. Report of school in district No.

Look Here! Beef by the quarter, 3' cents per pound smaller quantities in proportionat the Star Market. C. E. Swarts, Proprietor. UAe Reason of KrmoTtl Said to lie Owing to Difficulty in repine Clerkt Voori-lanri-onue 1'arled and Lett Karly Morning.

The office of A. T. Ablnjtt, superintendent of the Colorado division of the Rock Island, which was moved to Good-land last October, was ordered back to the old quarters in Colorado Springs this week and the whole force packed up and left so quietly Sunday morning that only those who were in the closest touch knew of the matter. While the removal of this office and its eight clerks will not effect the business interests of Goodland to any appreciable extent, the citizens of this town feel that the railroad officials have receded upon their promises and betrayed their trust. The people of Goodland have heroically come to the relief of the Rock Island here in its demand for more houses, and considering the circumstances, have made untiring endeavors to faithfully and efficiently furnish the needed accommodations in Goodland as a growing railroad town.

The superintendent's office was brought here to insure the investors in town property that the railroad was in earnest in its intentions toward this place. But in this particular the Rock Island has de-cended from its high promise, and tnr-casioned the voice of the people to go up in protest. The difficulty with which the clerk force was kept here is assigned as the reason for the removal; that the clerks wouldn't stay There was some ground for this several weeks ago, but none now. Some time ago the whole force quit because they failed their demand for an increase in wages, and the jobs seemed so good after a little that some of the clerks came back, and in one instance a clerk was content to take a job back at a reduction of $5 a month in salary. Goodland and the position not so bad after all.

Another grievance of the clerks was that they were imposed upon by exhor-bitant charges for board and room rent. They were treated equal with all other people who needed the same accommodations, and the charges more reasonable especially in room rent the very object of their protest than they could secure in Colorado Springs. Still, it must not be lost sight of, that the Rock Island has done well by Good-land and perhaps are going to do letter in the future. The equipment of the shops and the round house have been steadily increased until now Good-land is a more important railroad town than ever ln-fore. All offices of the Rock Island on this division are herewith the exception of the superintendent's office, and the removal of this for the reasons reported is not here received with any approbation.

Feed for Sale. I have for sale at my ranch, tea miles south of Goodland, hay, cane, millet and kafir corn. For prices call on me. Mrs. X.

M. Bryan. Wilson attorneys at law. Smith Premier While the Sheriff and County A ttorney Were Working an Entrance to the Kesort, the Gamblers Hurriedly Left the Pl6 ce by a Kear Kx 1 1. A gambling room in the rear of the Cullins billiard hall was raided Tuesday afternoon by Sheriff Bradley and County Attorney Murphy.

The door to the resort was locked and before access could be gained the occupants skipped out, leaving the authorities in possession of the room with its four poker tables, plenty of empty whiskey bottles i a in a corner Dy tne uoor, anu a nuur discolored with very recent blotches of spit. The sheriff had warrants for Phil Volke and. Fred Cole for keeping a gambling place, and also warrants for the seizure of all gambling furniture and devices. The poker tables were taken; but as all the fellows around the green cloth skedaddled in time to make their escape, no arrests could be made. County Attorney Murphy had recent ly received information which led him to the belief that gambling was going on in the Cullins building.

And this, augmented by the fact that Fred Cole on Tuesday came out of the Coffin restaurant with trays of luncheon for half a dozen men who were too busy to go to their meals, quite confirmed his suspicion. And consequently a plan was quietly laid to see what was doing. As the county attorney and the sheriff were entering the billiard hall they saw a man's heels disappear through the door leading to a back room. But when they reached that particular entrance the door was fast with a spring lock, and the man who owned the pair of heels had given the alarm. The gamblers, like the rats before the pied piper, coukl not get away fast enough, although the back doors and the windows were made ways of exit.

And they didn't stop at that, leaving, according to report, such a cloud of dust and dirt behind them as to obscure the vision of the persuers. Not gaining an entrance in front, the men with the law went around to the rear and found the north room used only as a sleeping apartment, but the room just back of this contained the gambling tables and appurtenances. As the two men entered, the room had not yet lost its breath of life. The air smelled warm and bore the flavor of fresh tobacco smoke. The chairs were arranged with a careless degree of order.

A dozen empty whiskey bottles breathed out from their unstoppled necks their characteristic odor, while the floor, bespattered with spit, cast a coarse grimace at the intrusion. The four tables seized were turned over to Police Judge Floyd, and a hearing is set for Monday summoning the owners to show cause why they should not be burned. As Volke and Cole were not found no time is set tor a hearing in their cases. Itlame for he Willard Wreck. The wreck of the Rock Island passenger train No.

All druggists. Scientific Methods of Agriculture Pot Forth in a Special Publication.

The decided success of the Campbell system of farming western Kansas and Nebraska lands is such that a magazine has been established devoted to that system of agriculture by the originator, H. W. Campbell, who is also editor of the publication. The name of the paper is "Campbell's Soil Culture" and it is issued monthly at Lincoln, Neb. Besides its specialty, it has a home adornment, dairy, culinary school and boys' and girls' department.

The subscription price is $1 per year. With the Campbell system of farming people generally in this section are fairly well acquainted. Its purpose is to conserve moisture and retain it in the soil for the use of plant life in the growing of different kinds of crops. The principal features are deep plowing, thorough pulverization and repacking of the soil preparatory to sowing or planting crops. This method is practiced for the purpose of preparing a proper seed bed, retain the natural moisture and prevent too rapid evap oration.

While the crops are growing, in the case of wheat lands, a very fine-toothed harrow is used in the early part of the season; and in the case of corn lands and other planted crops, a shallow surface pulverization, sufficient to eradicate weeds and leave a very fine mulch of dust to prevent too rapid evaporation in the hot summer weather. There is no question as to the success of this method, and where it has been employed astonishing results have fol lowed and good crops have been raised, while on other lands not so treated crops have been almost a total failure. Many counties which have recently come into the wheat belt are indebted principally to the employment of this method for the recent western wheat boom. Should this method be employed in Sherman county generally the results would not only be greatly bene ficial but also astonishing. The most efficient implement in this proscess of farming, after thorough pulverization of the soil, is the subsurface packer, the merits of which most of the farmers in this section are ac quainted with.

C. Dawson and W. S. Coleman residences. The Dawson house is in construction somewhat on the Mansard cottage plan, with a tower, ornamental dormer windows setting off the roof.

It has a wide and elegant porch on the east and south front, supported by Ionic columns. The interior is all that could be desired for convenience and elegance, with sliding doors between two sets of rooms, a mantle and fire place with grate in one of the angles, and provided with many closets, bath room and a fine large pantry. The is a bay window on the east in the sitting room, and a large Venetian window on the south in the parlor. The location on corner lots facing both east and south adds to the value of the property, and being only a block from the main street, makes the location convenient to the business center of the town. The V.

S. Coleman new residence is two stories and a half, and contains ten rooms. It is constructed on the Gothic plan with several gables. It is an imposing structure, located just east of the Christian church and commands a good view, both of the business and residence portion of the town. All the rooms are conveniently arranged, each having a good sized closet.

It is provided with bath room, cupboards and nitches for convenient shelving. The half story under the roof has dormer windows, facing east and west from which a fine view of the town can be had. This room is 14 feet square, and will be a pleasant and sightly place. All the principal rooms have places for stoves, as the main chimney ascends from the very foundation and through each story until it towers above the roof. W.

The three large interests of the Rock Island which have hitherto not been in full accord regarding the policy of man agement have recently been harmonized. And now they are pulling together to make the 18,000 mile railroad system the greatest in the west.

These three interests are represented by the Moore Brothers, W. B. Leeds, B. F. Yoakum, president of the Frisco, and R.

C. Cable, who until recently was chairman of the executive committee of the Rock Island. I he coming bond issue, which will be authorized to the amount of 150 million dollars, meets the approval of all the men named, as does the scheme for reorganization, which President L. F. Loree is expected to carry out.

To the end of bettering the system the various railroads included in the Rock Island system are agreed in the issuance of 125 million dollar bond issue. The main details of the bond issue were learned this week, although it has not been settled definitely what kind of bonds will be issued. Of the entire amount, 60 millions will be devoted to retiring the bonds of the Rock Island system proper, as they come due for the next 25 years. All the immediate issue that will be necessary will be to take care of the bonds which will fall due within the next two or three years, and which aggregate between 10 and 12 million dollars. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway company has during the past decade advanced 45 million dollars in cash for construction purposes and for the acquisition of new equipment.

There are 900 miles of road belonging to the company against which there is no mortgage. BURLINGTON GIRL Sister of Teacher That Committed Suicide Kent to Colorado Asylum. Miss Claudie Hills, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.

F. Hills, and sister of Miss dith Hills, who committed suicide about a month ago, was adjudged insane last week by the probate court of Kit Carson county. The cause of the braking down of her mind was due to the shock upon her nervous system by the suicide of her sister, combined with failing health. She was taken to the insane assylum of Colorado at Pueblo last Tuesday. As Miss Hills is a youhg lady of about twenty, and as this incident is the first her life of the unballancing of her mind, her parents have hopes of her recovery when the vivid recollection of the family tragedy shall have passed away and her health improved.

Miss Hills was brought back to Burlington, from her uncle's home in Iowa, immediately after the death of her sister, who was buried in that state. CHANGED THE NAME. l'ostoftice Department Changes Lamborn to Kanorado. By an order of the postofiice depart ment at Washington, the name of the postofiice at Kanorado has been changed from Lamborn to Kanorado.

Colorado Sort WESTERN 6oa flnthracito HESTON BARTHOLOMEW COLEMAN'S OLD STAND. 66Q Pnblic Health Authorities to Prosecute Violators of Quarantine.

Persons afflicted with diseases dangerous to the public health, or who by contact with the same, imperil the health of others, will be prosecuted under the quarantine law of Kansas. This information comes directly from the authorities having the matter of public health in charge, and so it behooves every person amenable to quarantine restrictions to look about lest they find themselves in the clutches of the law. Ignorance is not sufficient excuse to avoid prosecution, and if every one should harp a oreater resnect for others and more conscientious self-reproof mingled with common sense, much sickness and possibly fatalities could not otherwise be laid at your door. The men under obligation to enforce the quarantine law have expressed a determination to make an example of the first offender in this respect, and that the public may have a full knowledge of what is required in cases of dangerous contagious diseases, Dr. Gulick, county health officer, thinks that the publication again of sections of the law would be a help and a warning to all.

Following are some of the provisions: "Section 1. When any physician shall know or have reason to believe that any person whom he is called to visit, or any person sick within his knowledge without the care of a physician, is sick with or has died of cholera, small pox, scarlet fever, diphtheria, epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis, or any disease dangerous to the public health, he shall immediately give notice there of to the nearest board of health or health officer, and, if the case occurs in his own practice, shall at once cause a red or yellow cloth or card not less than 12 inches square, with the name of the disease written or printed thereon in arge characters, to be fastened upon the front door or other conspicuous part of the building wherein the sickness prevails; such cloth or card to be maintained during the existance of the disease, and until such time as the health officer, or, in his absence, the attending acting by his authority and approval, is satisfied that the premises have been thoroughly disinfected and are fit for reoccupation. 'Section 2. Whenever any house holder shall know that any of his fami- is sick with or has died of small pox, scarlet fever, cholera, diphtheria, epidemic cerebro-spinal miningitis, or any disease dangerous to the public health, he shall immediately give notice thereof to the nearest board of health or health officer, and shall cause the house to be placarded as prescribed in section 1. "Section 4.

All persons sick with small pox, cholera, scarlet fever, diph theria, epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis, or any contagious or infectious diseases dangerous to the public health, shall be thoroughly isolated from the public and properly quarantined. "Section 9. It shall be the duty of every physician in attendance upon any person afflicted with any contagious or infectious disease designated in this act to- notify the proper health officer when said premises are ready for disinfection, so that the same may be properly dis infected under the direction of said health officer or some other person un der his authority. "Section 11. Any person found guilty of violating any of the provisions of this act or failing to comply with any re quirements thereof shall be, upon con viction, fined not less than $25 nor more than $100 for each offense." The state board of health have sent positive instructions to prosecute any householder, person or physician failing to report or to fasten up the red or yellow card or cloth as provided by law.

ALBERT G. EDWARDS DEAD. Scarlet Fever Knds in Bright's Disease With Fatal Result. Albert G. Edwards, the second son of Mr.

He was a young man 17 years of age, large and robust, and lacked only two inches of being six feet in height.

Engine 1310, Engineer Tapper, broke a side rod on the right side, about two miles east of Goodland while pulling passenger No. 41, Monday.
