BIG BARN WAS BURNED A Prairie Fire Just East of Solomon Thursday Solomon, Nov.

30. A prairie fire set by a passing train at the Glen-wood ranch east of town Thursday burned a large barn and several stacks of hay before the men of the neighborhood and help from town were able to put it out. For a time the fire threatened to take several other barns and farm houses. Earlier in the morning a large barn on the Wilson farm was set on fire by a small child. The barn was a large structure and burned to the ground.

THE BIGGEST OF All SALINA CLUB, TO HAVE ONE FORE CHRISTMAS. BE- BIG SUPPLY OF TURKEYS First Time in Years That a Turkey Shoot Has Been Held in Salina. The Salina Gun club is planning one of the biggest turkey shoots ever given in Saline county. It is planned to give it shortly before Christmas day. The shoot is to take place on the local grounds and the plans are now being werked up.

"We cannot say just how many birds will be shot for," said a member of the club today, "but our aim is to make it the biggest turkey shoot in the history of Saline county. We expect to draw good shooters here from all around and will furnish a lively day's sport." Turkey shoots are quite common about the country but none has been attempted in Salina for many years. No doubt this one will attract many spectators as well as shooters. The club expects to arrange for the turkeys and the blue rocks in a few days and after that is done something more definite about the coming big turkev shoot can be announced.

Jacobs Says, However, He Does Not Know When Third Trial Will Begin Kansas City, Nov. 30 "The Hyde case will be tried again. That is ab solute and certain." Floyd E. Jacobs, prosecuting attor ney-elect of Jackson county, made that assertion. It came in answer to the frequent reports that the case against Dr.

B. Clark Hyde was to be dropped. As to just when the third trial will be gin, Mr. Jacobs says he is "at sea." When the case was last called Judge Porterfield continued it until the January term of his division of the criminal court. His order was that it must be tried then without furthr delay.

The case will be one of the first to be called at the first session of Judge Porterfield's court in the new year. Mr. Jacobs, the new prosecutor, just elected, will have charge of his office and scarcely will have had time to get th3 routine Although first assistant prosecuting attorney now, he is kept so busy with the details of that office and with conferences over who his assistants shall be after the first of the year, that he can't spare time to the Hyde case now Frank P. Walsh, counsel for Doctor Hyde says his client is readv for trial any time. Doctor Hyde, meantime, is still out on bond.

Y0ULD BE DANGEROUS Committee Hopes to Have Everything Lined Up to Begin Work Early in the Spring. Salina's Great White Way cannot be built until the spring.

"There is considerable collecting yet to do," Frank Ekstrand, chairman of the committee, said today. "Just at this season of year we cannot very well attend to this. The holiday rush is on and it is taking all of our time to attend to our own business. "However, even if the money was in it would be too late to begin the construction now. It would be dangerous and we would have to lay the matter over for awhile.

"There will probably be little done on the matter until after the holidays whe nthe committee will take it up again. expect to have everything in readiness so that as soon as the spring is here and the frost is out of the ground we can begin actual construction on the White Way. We will have it shining out by summer time." Meanwhile the post in front oT the office of the Salina Light, Gas Power company, which is a sample of those that will be used in Salina's Great White Way, will continue to burn nightly as a reminder to those on the street that they must not forget about the improvement to be made next spring. 'CALL FOR PACKAGE" Such Slips Will Let Those Who Have Boxes Know Many peopie have been asking the question of how the people who have boxes at the post office will get their packages when the Parcels Post service begins. Some have supposed that large boxes would be built to take care of this kind of mail for those having boxes.

In regard to this Assistant Postmaster Mitchell-said this 'morning that there will be no change from the present method used when packages are sent through the mails. A slip is put in the box which reads "Call for package." There will probably be more calling for packages, but there will be no change in the method of handling this kind cf mail. FOR SWEET CHARITY THE TURKEY TROT HELPS THE POOR IN ST. LOUIS. Even the Men Seemed to Enjoy All the Modern Society Dances Put on For Charity.

St. Louis, Nov. 30. Society was startled last night at the charity ball by the variety, and novelty of the many new dances that were introduced. Everything known in dancing from the Rag to Tango was put on exhibition.

There was an Aeroplane Glide, the Maori, the Turkey Trot, the Grizzly Hug and the whole repetoire of up-to-date contortions and muscle movements that masquerade as dances in modern ball rooms. It was al for charity. More than $4,000 was collected from the dancers. At first there was a good deal of bashfulness about putting on the new dances. But the band kept playing rags and pretty soon everybody in the room was ragging, grizziy hugging, turkey trotting and otherwise doing it.

The men seemed to enjoy it as well as the women. NO WHITE NAY UNTIL SPRING TELLS HOW HE FIRST DISCOVERED THE SHORTAGE WAS FOUND IN JANUARY Mr. Hortung Testified That At That Time He Came Up and Checked Up With McGinn A. C. Hortung, the New York horse buyer, who made the charge of embezzlement against J.

B. McGinn was on the witness stand for three hours yesterday afternoon. Mr. Hortung testified that he had gone into business with the defendant that he, Hor tung would furnish the capital for the business and that Mr. McGinn was to buy horses.

The best horses were to be shipped to him and the poorer stuff, suitable for the southern markets were to be sold by Mr. McGinn. The profits on the southern horses were to be divided equally between Mr. Hortung and Mr. McGinn.

He testified that the contract was a verbal one and that no written contract had been made. Mr. Hortung testified that in January, 1912, he came to Salina and checked up accounts anddiscovered a large shortage. It appeared from the testimony that this shortage was at least partially made up by partial cash payment and promissory notes. Mr.

Hortung testified that later he received a letter from Mr. McGinn stating that he had disposed of all the horses and was going west. It appeared further from the testimony that Mr. Hortung discovered, after checking the accounts closely that the shortage was- due to the fact that Mr. McGinn had not turned over to him the money received for two carloads of mules sold through Beers and Ga-vert of Kansas City and one car load of mules sold to the Reed and Campbell Commission company of St.

Louis Mr. Hortung testified that when he was here and found the accounts checked short he told Mr. McGinn that they would close up the business and for him to dispose of the horses and mules he had on hand. The money received from these is what Mr. Hortung claims Ws embezzled.

The testimony was rather tedious and slow on account of there being so many exhibits, such as checks, letters of correspondence, notes etc. These were read and exhibited to the jury. Was It Partnership? Cross examination of Mr. Hortung began yesterday at 5 o'clock. The cross examination continued all morning and this afternoon.

Mr. Hortung was still on the witness stand. in the cross examination the counsel for the defendant is asking about the details of the business relations between Mr. Hortung and Mr. McGinn.

His examination seems to be an attempt to show that the men were in partnership rather than having merely a confidential business relation. HE FGHTS SUFFRAGE PROPHET OF ZION CITY WILL START A CRUSADE. Believes That Equal Suffrage is An Invention of the Devil and Will Result in Race Suicide. Zion City, 111., Nov. 30.

Overseer Yoliva, the successor of Dowie, the prophet of Zion City, has announced that he will inaugurate a crusade against woman suffrage. He says that women belong in the home where the duties of wifehood and motherhood enable them to be of the high est usefulness to the human race. Yoliva characterizes suffragist agi tators as bearded women who are all wrong in their views and in their am- bitions. He says that suffrage will resujt in fewer marriages, in race suicide and ultimately in the destruction of the home and the elimination of home life and home influences from modern civilization. The prophet declares in no uncertain terms that he regards the whole equal suffrage proposition as an invention of the devil.

WHATOF THOSE SEWERS? Contractor Was Expected to Begin Work Long Ago. There is some anxiety felt in official city circles as to the sewers which are to be built here. That is, where are the contractors? Ramsey McEldain secured the contract to build twelve sewers in Salina about a month ago. They promised to begin the work soon. That is the last heard of them.

They are engaged in sewer work in McPherson and it is presumed they have not finished there yet. but it was supposed they would be here long Deiore this time. City Engineer Wakenhut went to McPherson a week ago to look into the matter, but did not get very much satisfaction. He expects to go again next week and find out just how things stand. The contracting firm uses a ditch digging machine and it is said that when once they begin the work here will shove along very rapidly.

That All Controversies Growing Out Shall Be Submitted to An Inter for Arbitration. Constantinople, Nov. 30. Tenta tive peace agreements lietween Tur key and the Balkan allies will be signed within the next forty eight hours. This is the good news officially announced by the Turkish government this morning.

The way is now open and easy for an agreement on the final peace terms. A new armistice which will be general and will end all fightting and eventually result in the end of hostilities has been agreed to by the representatives of Turkey and the Balkan league. This armistice will undoubtedly have a salutary effect on the whole European situation. The Grand Yizer has announced tho armistice but the terms have not yet been given to the public. It is intimated that Turkey does much better than under the original agreement, neither side is to strengthen positions while the peace negotiations are under way.

The capture of two entire divisions of the Turkish army while on the way to reinforce the defenders of Adria-nople and the desperate straits to which that city has been reduced by battle, siege, famine, and pestilence making surrender almost imperative hastened the agreement because Turkey undoubtedly wishes to retain Ad-rianople as Turkish territory. This would not be possible if the city were once surrendered to the allied armies. The Bulgarina peace commissioners have telegraphed to Czar Ferdinand that their efforts have been successful and that an agreement entirely satisfactory to the allies will be reached. The Turks made another desperate sortie from Ardianople yesterday and were driven back with heavy losses. London, Nov.

30. The war clouds have materially cleared in all directions during the past twenty-four hours. All the diplomats now believe that a general European war has been averted. It is taken for granted in many quarters that the two weeks armistice agreed to between Turkey and the Balkan allies means the cessation of all hostilities in a very short time. It is believed that a lasting peace will be established before Christmas.

Koine, Nov. 30. Italy is the first Continental power to endorse the proposals of the English foreign office that all questions growing out of the Turkish-Balkan war be submitted to an international conference for adjudication. SCHOOL IS CROWDED Tescott Is Taking Steps to Put Up A New Building Steps toward the erection of a fine new school house are being taken at Tescott. Legal notices are being published in Ottawa county papers apprizing the public of the fact that such steps are under way.

At the same time a petition is being circulated and will be presented with the signatures of more than half the voters in the school district, to the state school fund commissioners, praying that the district be permitted to issue bonds provided by law, to raise funds for the pprpose. The schools in Tescott have been growing fast in the past two or three years and new room is now badly needed. It is hardly probable however, that the new building can be completed in time to be of any use for the present school year. TODAY'S ALMANAC. A cold night, but the usual pleasant dav.

Fog clouds threatened awhile todav, but it has cleared nicely. A year" ago that was Thanksgiving dav was a very pleasant day. temperature: Today Minimum 23; 1 o'clock 52. A year ago: Minimum 20; at 1 o'clock 40. The barometer has fallen to 28.72.

Ft. Scott, Nov. 30. The first victim of the reinforced prohibitory law the statute makng the second conviction for selling liquor a penitentiary offense, is a woman, tried before the district court of Allen county and found guilty yesterday. Mrs.

Lou Rosenburg is her name and she may have one year to serve in the state penitentiary for the offense, as she was found guilty of the felony clause of the statute, that of persst-ent selling for which the penitentiary sentence can be given. Under the terms of the law for the second offense a year in the penitentiary may be the sentence, and this will probably be the case in the Rosenburg case at Iola. Her husband is charged with the same offense, but as yet has not been tried. PHILLIPS WON THE III AT THE CONTEST HELD AT Y. C.

orral ana Clara Worral. The suit is for $287.50 commissions claimed by the plaintiffs for the sale of the farm formerly owned by the defendants. In the petition it is stated that the plaintiff was engaged to sell and did sell in August 1911 that part of the Northwest quarter of section 31, township 14, range 2 west of the sixth P. M. lying north and east of the Smoky Hill river.

This piece is said to contain 130 acres' and to have brought in the sale $11,500. The plaintiffs ask that they be given judgment for the customary commission of 2 1-2 per cent amounting to NER at Tcpr-ka, Nov. 30 The issuance of a certificate of election as governor to George H. Hodges is again hung tip indefinitely, despite the action of Stone and McDermott, attorneys representing Arthur Capper, in last Tuesday evening signing a written agreement to the effect that the certificate might be issued on the basis of returns then in the hands of the secretary of state, and supplemental re turns in favor of Capper from Bourbon, Reno and Morris counties. After the agreement was reached attorneys for Hodges assisted Capper's attorneys to get the supplemental returns from these three counties and they were received by the secretary of state.

Counting all these returns Hedges stili had a lead of twenty-nine over Capper. The state canvassing board was anxious to dispose of the matter and issue the certificate of election on the basis of the returns. Accordingly Attorney General John S. Dawson appeared before the supreme court and filed a motion that the restraining order, which has prevented action by the canvassing board since last Monday be dissolved. The motion was resisted by Stone and McDermott and Fred S.

Jackson, representing Arthur Capper. They urged that they be permitted to file a motion for a rehearing before the supreme court in the cases through which they have sought to secure a recount of ballots thrown out in several counties which had been decided in favor of Hodges bv the supreme court. The Hodges attorneys contended that the stipulation entered into Tuesday estopped Capper from seeking further to prevent the issuance of the certificate of election to Hodges. The stipulation, which is as follows, was presented to the court: "It is her.eby a-greed between Stone and McDermott, representing Arthur Capper, and J. S.

Dean and Henderson Martin, representing George H. Hodges, that if amended returns correcting errors by the county commissioners come in from the three counties of Reno, fourteen, Bourbon, forty-one, and Morris, seven, that no effort will be made by either side to secure additional returns to these now in the hands of the secretary of state, or to throw-out additionals returns on file with the secretary of state, and that the certificate of election may issue for the office of governor to George H. Hodges, so far as the parties hereto and their principals are concerned, based upon the returns now in the hands of the secretary of state with the three counties above mentioned." The stipulation is signed by Stone and McDermott, representing Capper and by J. S. Dean and Henderson Mar-tinfi representing Hodges.

It also bears in lead pencil figures on the bottom, supplied by Stone, showing that according to his calculations Hodges had a lead of twenty-nine votes. Stone admitted in the hearing before the court yesterday afternoon that at the time stipulation was signed he had no thought of asking for a re-hearing in the cases which seek to bring additional returns before the canvassing board. Jackson contended that the stipulation did not in any way bind Capper to give up his efforts to secure additional returns through the action of the supreme court. Under the "order of the supreme court. Capper's attorneys must file a motion for a re-hearing by ten o'clock today, but the court has not passed upon the question as to whether the stipulation is binding upon Capper in he case in which a rehearing is sought It is now thought that the court will rule upon the matter this afternoon and if a re-hearing is denied Capper and the restraining order dissolved thestate canvassing board will immediately issue the certificate of election to Hodges.

TOO MUCH FOR BRITT The wrestling match at the Electric Theatre, last Thursday evening, between Fred Bibler of this city and Kid Britt of Salina, was not very largely attended by our local sports, most of the audience coming from Roxbury. Carlton and Kipp, although the match was said to have been a good one. Bigler was too much for the Kid and secured the first two falls. He secured the first fall in 26 minutes and the second in 19 minutes. This was the second match between these wrestlers, Bigler winning both matches Gypsum Advocate.
