Iola, Sept. 24, "I make a dollar and a half a day and have a family of seven to support," said Ed Davis of Gas City to Judge Hough when asked if he had a good reason why he had not paid the costs in a case in which he was plaintiff recently. Not long ago Davis had William Bowen of Gas City arrested for slapping his son.

Judge Hough found for the defendant and in rendering his decision said that he believed there was a good case against the plaintiff for malicious prosecution and assessed the costs in the case, $30 up to Davis. t- Davis was unable to pay the amount. Judge Hough was about to commit him to jail when he learned that Davis was very poor so gave Mm "until September 16 to pay the amount. Davis said he could raise the money by that time. When September 16 came around Davis failed to put in an appearance and last evening Constable Ihrig.

was sent after him. Davis said he had no money as he had a large family to support and earned but a dollar and a half a day. However, he said that thought with the assistance of friends he could settle the amount by Monday. Judge Hough believes that any man who supports a family of seven on nine dollars a week should have all the leniency possible and so gave Davis another respite until he could raise the money.

Kansas City, Sept. 24. With the blowing of whistles, the clanging of bells and the glad acclaim of thousands of persons who had gathered at the river shore, the renewal of steamboat on the Missouri river after a lapse of more than a decade, was celebrated today, when the steamer Lora, laden with freight from St. Louis, docked at the wharf in this city. Every local craft of any pretension went several miles down the river to act as an escort for the Lora, and the appearance of the fleet with the freighter in the lead was the signal for one of the most genuine outbursts of enthusiasm ever occasioned by any event in the commercial of this city.

The successful trip of the Lora under the most unfavorable circumstances, the river being exceptionally low and its channel unexplored for several years, proved conclusively that the Missouri is a navigable stream. The movement to Inaugurate a boat line on the Missouri river originated in this city four months ago and grew out of the fight of Kansas. City merchants for reduced freight rates. All of the commercial and civic bodies of this city have aided in the development of the plan and the towns between here and St. Louis have given their hearty co-operation.

Many of these towns have no railroad facilities and the. new boat line will afford them their only means of transportation. Regular traffic will be instituted on the river between here and St. Louis Just as soon as suitable boats can be obtained. Independence, Sept.

24. Mr. Thomas Lewis, whose home is at 1102 West Main street. Is in a ery critical condition, owing to an assault upon him made by Luther and Zenus Bloomer of Rutland. Lewis is treasurer of the new Baptist church of Rutland and he received a letter asking him to come to the church to attend a called business meeting.

It seems that the late John Bloomer, father of Luther and Zenus, had at one time received $25 from the Standard Oil company to help defray the expenses of the new church, and Mr. Lewis sent one of the finance committee to the Bloomer home to see if the report was true. Mr. Bloomer admitted that the $25 had been paid to him, but said he could pay it into the church fund or not, just as he liked. At the business meeting there were only a few nresent.

24. Considerable interest i being manifested by the river men of this city, and in fact all along the taissbbrl from Kansas City to Omaha in the new packet line which was Inaugurated by trie Commercial Club of Kansas City to fight the rates demanded by the railroads for shipping. freight. The movements of the steamboat Lora. the first boat of the new packet line, are being followed by the named river men, and every one, declared that he only hoped that the Commercial Clubs of the up river cities would, awaken and make negotiations for the packet line being extended.

"frith the starting of the new packet "line arrangements are to be made with the government to establish a permanent channel In' the "Big Muddy," from St. Lwuis to Kansas City and possibly to Omaha.

Demoss, who was about to be tried the fourth time on sixty-four counts oharging him with the sale of intoxicating liquor in Neodesha. negotiated an agreement with Assistant Attorney General Mikesell whereby the case is dismissed without further prosecution. This agreement not yet a matter of record in district court, but we understand that Demoss is to pay all tne costs of the three trials which have resulted in a hung jury and a fine of $500.

Afterward, John and George Morris overtook Mr. Lewis and told him not to venture on to town alone if he was not armed, for the Bloomer boys, who were looking for him, would probably kill him.

He is in an unconscious condition the greater part of the time. Luther and Zenus Bloomer came to town last evening and pleaded guilty to assault and battery before Judge Yeager, and paid their fines.

They are not to get off so easily, however. Warrants were issued-for them this morning charging them with assault to do great bodily harm, and the sheriff went out to serve them. The assault is regarded as most cowardly and inexcusable and the recovery of Mr. Lewis may be all that will save the young men from serious punishment. Capt.

John Garrett, one of the oldest river engineers on the Missouri, until recently an inmate of the Soldiers' Home, and before entering that Institution, the engineer vji the. Lyons now laying pipe near Kickapoo, is now the engineer on the R. G. Gunter at Kansas City. In talking abotit the- river recently he said: think that -Ahe greatest thing that be done In this part of the country would be to open all the larger rivers for navigation purposes, so that merchants and business men might cope with the, railroads who are.

The only thing objectionable about the river being that It would take several days longer than on a train."

His right thumb and first finger on the right hand were torn off and his face badly lacerated; the charge cut into his eyes, causing a hemorrhage, which has caused temporary total blindness, and it is feared the loss of his sight will be permanent.

What will be probably known as an experiment in "dry farming" is to be conducted permanently and on a somewhat extensive scale at Garden City. The operations will be formulated into a regular experiment station, backed by the United States government and under the control and management of the State Agricultural College. The station will be established this fall. This move comes under a well laid scheme of the national government, which is establishing a system of stations throughout what Is termed the semi-arid section of the West, extending from the Gulf to the British domain. There is, for oiie in the Panhandle of Texas and one already put in at Hays City, this state.

Some Important experiments will be made here, Including the Introduction of winter barley and winter oats, claimed to be entirely new to this region. President Nichols of the Manhattan College was here recently selecting a site for the station. He stated that he knew of no better location for the proposed project, as all eyes are turning to Garden City as the natural center of coming agricultural and commercial prosperity In western Kansas.

CAPTAIN'S WIFE CALM ON DRIFTING WRECK The Altai's Lifeboat Reached the Austria Just in Time Destroyed la Hurricane. New York, Sept. 24.

The steamship Altai of the Atlas service of the Hamburg-American Line, which reached port yesterday, had on board Capt. and Mrs. Robinson and the crew of fifteen men of the British bark Austria, which was wrecked in the hurricane that raged off Cape Hat-teras on Monday and Tuesday of this week. The Austria was drifting without a rudder and with all her sails gone when the Altai sighted her on Wednesday morning. Capt.

Robinson, the skipper of the wrecked ship, said that in all his years at sea he never before experienced a storm with the force of the one which destroyed his ship. The waves, he said, were enormous, and the force of the wind was so great that it was impossible to keep sails on the vessel. The Austria sailed from Gulfport, for Rio Janeiro last Sunday. She passed out of the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic late Monday afternoon. She "encountered the hurricane almost immediately on leaving the Gulf.

The storm came out of the southeast. The seas were so high and "the wind so strong that the ship was turned about on her course. In spite of the efforts of the crew, she was driven north Instead of south. Great waves broke over the bark, and soon her deck load of lumber started and was washed into the sea. The sails were blown to ribbons and the ship was at the mercy of the tempest.

All that day and night the storm raged with unabated fury. On the morning of Wednesday the Austria, then without sails, her rudder gone, and her decks awash, was off Cape Hattera3. By that time the storm had begun to subside, and by noon the sea was comparatively smooth, while there was just enough wind letf to keep the waterlogged ship moving. The seventeen persons on board were huddled together near what was left of the pilot house. They had hegun to fear that the ship would sink before they were it was about 9 o'clock in the morning when one of the crew sighted the Altai.

The officer on the bridge of the Altai in the meantime had seen the signals of distress on the Austria, and he headed the steamship ia the direction of the wrecked ship. The Altai launched a lifeboat, and in an hour the captain of the Austria, his wife, and all the crew were on board the steamship. Before they left they set fire to the Austria, in order that the hulk should not become a menace to navigation.
