. Jim Young, the jig man at the
Heap-O'Brien, told us Saturday
night' that last week the mine
produced 63,000 pounds of zinc
and 18,000 pounds of lead. He
says the dirt is getting better
right alopg, and that the gas
engines are doing good . work.
The cost for fuel is now $9.60 a
1 day, as against $25 a day when
- coal was used.
The turn-in from the camp
last week' was very good, and
.when more properties get to
using gas, so there will be no
scarcity or delay in getting fuel,
the output will be corresponding
ly larger. The mines in this
camp are as good as any, but
they have been hampered oy the
fuel proposition.

Stubbs is Scared.
The loud wail which comes
from Governor Stubb's office in
Topeka, that the brewers, the
railroads and the resubmission
element have banded together in
a "conspiracy" to accomplish the
downfall of -the Stubbs regime,
is, of course, the veriest nonsense
and will fool nobody of sound
mind in the state of Kansas or
elsewhere. This campaign trick
is so clumsy and unskillful in the
matter of managerial technique
that it is hard to believe it orig
inated with so adroit a politician
as Governor Stubbs. Perhaps it
was one of those surprises that
are sprung by the governor's per
sonal newspaper organ and which
he has been obliged to back up
in order to keep peace in his
camp. In the past Mr. Stubbs
has bad to do many things and
accept many responsibilities that
were evidently distasteful to his
sense of manhood in order to
"stand in" with the newspaper
that is using him to accomplish
its own purposes.
Governor Stubbs, through his
press agent, complains bitterly
that the railroad employes of
Kansas are opposing him. This
he calls a "conspiracy," and he
incidentally rings in the brewers
and the "interests" generally.
By "interests" the governor
means anybody and everybody
who is not bis own fervent su. -porter.
And now that he finds
that many of the railroad em
ployes of his state are unfriendly
to his candidacy he wails that
they have been suborned and
corrupted, by the railroads them
selves. Mr. Stubbs denies with
his hand on his heart that he
was ever unfriendly to the rail
roads. Why, he wouldn't think
of such a thing as doing an in
jury to a railroad.
It may or may not be true that
the railroad employes in Kansas
have united their efforts to beat
Governor Stubbs. If they have,
it shows an intelligent concep
tion of their own interests and is
in line with the action of rail
road employes all over the United
States. The fact of the matter
is that the sensible railroad em
ploye realizes that the vicious
and continuous attacks of dema
gogues upon the railroads have
resulted in reducing railway In
comes to the point where it will
soon be impossible to pay the em
ployes the wages they should
receive. The railroad employes
not only in Kansas but in Miss
ouri and in practically all of the
Eastern states have, upon their
own initiative and responsibility,
formed a propaganda for their
own preservation and they are
petitioning the lawmaking bodies
and the people to allow the rail
roads fair rates that they may in
turn employ labor at fair wages.
There has been no more bitter
and unreasonable foe of railroads,
and indirectly' of railroad em
ployes, in Kansas than Governor
Stubbs.. -His" twelfth hour re
pentance will avail bin- rc thing

SHE WAS
DISSATISFIED
Became the deaeriptloa of Briar
wood tu so extremely alluring Hark
bom, who for health's 'sake iranttd a
quiet summer plaoo, ag-afod It for the
season without waiting to confer with
hie irlfo, who happened to be away
from homo.
Afterward ho had cause to regret
thla precipitancy. When he and Mr.
Harknesa arrived at brlarwood they
found tho "neatly furnished cottage"
supplied noitly with rickety folding
eota, broken-down waah-ataada and de
crepit chairs, lira. Harkaeea appeared
to think this aad state of things en
tirely duo to tho fact that aha had
not been oonaulted before the sign
ing of tho lease.
"Oh, well Sato." Harkaasi said,
soothingly, "we cam hero for the sim
ple Ufa. Tho view la beautiful and
the scarcity of furnishings wont In
terfere with our having a restful sum
mer." "Ton won't find it very restful to
walk a quarter of a inllo to tho farm
spring every time we want drinking
water," she replied. "And the agent
failed to tell you that the fireplace
smokes like like Vesuvius."
"Wo probably won't need many fires.
Swimming In the lake will be more in
our line."
"Yes, but there are so many weeds
that I shall be afraid to go Into the
water, for rm euro snakes hide there."
TU rake them out." said Harkness,
who had planned a oomploto rest
"Millie you do that 111 work In the
garden. Though why the agent should
have called that patch of plantain a
garden I can't see."
"It isn't much of a garden, is It? But
there are some nice old-fashioned
roses and the view hero Is lovely."
The morning after their first night
at Brlarwood Mrs. Harkness came
to the breakfast table looking pale
from loss of aleep.
"Now. Fred," she began with a
woary little amlle, "before I say any
thing else, ni acknowledge that the
Brlarwood view is charming. But the
most superb view in the world would
not conmpensate me for a night like
the one I've Just been through. I
could almost believe tho house is
haunted."
"Hauntedr
"Yes. I suppose that bell which
rang at intervals all night long wasn't
audible in your room."
"A ringing bell! Why, you must
hare dreamed it There lent even a
telephone here."
"I didn't dream a bell. I heard it
Tou don't know how gruesome and
weird it sounded." t '
"111 know tonight Kate," promised
Harkness. And he Insisted upon ex
changing rooms with her.
"WtUr she asked next morning.
"I heard it all right Hardly slept
a wink. I'll get a boy and a ladder
from the farm and If that bell isn't a
spook 111 find It or know the reason
why.".
The Harknesses were rellered to
discover that the nightly disturbance
wae caused by flying squirrels playing
around an old disconnected bell In
the eaves, which had been used to
call former tenants of Brlarwood to
the farm for their meals.
"Well, I think the agent should have
had It taken down," said Mrs. Hark
aesti "Oh, by the way, I got a letter from
htm thl mprnlng that I haven't read
yet" said her husband.
'It may be in answer to one I wrote
him the first day telling blm a few
facta of which he appeared not to be
aware when be inveigled you Into
epmlng here."
"Ha says," Harkness looked up from
the letter, "that aa you are dissatis
fied he Is glad to be able to take the
place off our hands. He says he has
a mm who will buy the cottage If we
will give Immediate possession."
"Of course," said Mrs. Harkness, "we
won't give Immediate possesion after
the work we hare done here. Why,
you've made the bathing beach fine,
and I'm getting the garden in splen
did order."
"But he wants to sell and hell pay
ns for the lease."
"Oh, Fred, do let's buy Brlarwood
aurselrss."
Harknesa looked at bis wife in
speechless astonishment
"Ton know, Fred, the view Is per
fectly beautiful." abe reminded him.
"I aaid so all the time."
"Tea, that'a m,' agreed Harkness,
wondering In a man's vague way Just
What were the peculiar processes of
a womta'n mnd.

State Expenses.
j
The expenses of the state gov
ernment, under Govertfor Stubbs
are about twice as great as they
were before he was elected, and
in order to procure such an enor
mous sum, Governor Stubbs and
his insurgent legislature were
cmpelled to enact new and heav
ieT tax laws. Among thse new
laws which were enacted for the
purpose of aiding in overcoming
the deficit caused by the extrav
agance of Governor Stubbs and
his legislature was the inherit
ance tax law.
Under this law when a man
dies and leaves more than $5,000
worth of property, his widow ar.d
orphans are compelled to pay an
inheritance tax to the state.
There are no exceptions to this
law. A man may-have paid his
taxes one day and died the fol
lowing owing no obligation to
the state, yet under this law his
heirs are mulct according to the
yillue of the estate and at the rate
named in this Inheritance tax law
There is no doubt but the state
needs the money, and will need
great deal wore if the Stubbs
policies are to be tolerated for
two years longer. But the tax
is an uniust one, and is as vicious
'a piece of legislation as wss
ever placed on the statute book,
of Kansas. Two years ago
Governor Stubbs advocated the
law in his campaign speeches,
and was largely responsible for
his insurgent legislature, elected
at that time.

cratic candidate for governor,
