Tbe city council last night submit ted a proposition to the owners of the Wellington waterworks, offering then $50,000 for the waterworks plant as it stands today, including all the lands, flowage rights, standpipe, dam, pump house, water mains, plugs, plats, etc. The water committee was instructed to prepare a form of petition to be circulated among the tax payers, ask ing tlie council to call an election to vote the bonds, and submit it to tbe council at an adjourned meeting to be held Friday night of this week. This means, in short, that Welling ton voters will soon be called upon to say whether they want the city to own and operate its water system, or pay the exorbitant rate for fire pro tection heretofore charged by the water company. Tbe question .of whether the city shall own and oper ate an electric lighting, heating and power system will also be submitted to tbs voters at tbe same time. The two questions will be submit ted separately at the same election, so that each question may be voted for or against, as tbe voter's judgment dictates. Tbe amount of bonds to be voted for buying the waterworks system and improving it is $55,000. Fifty thuusand dollars of this money is for tbe purchase ol the plant, and $5,000 for putting in new pumps and a suc tion pipe at the dam. The council thinks all other needed improvements can be postponed for the present, and eventually be made out of the earn ings of the plant after it is in running shape under municipal ownership. The amount of bouds to be voted for an electric lighting, heating and Power system is $14,000 making the total proposed issue $ti9,0t0. It will be lelt entirely with the voters to say whether the city shall vote $G'.),- 000 fcr both water and light, .r only $55,000 for water, or only $14,000 for light. Tlie question cf the amount of in terest the bonds shall bear has not been decided upon. That will be determined at Friday night's meet iug, when the committee appointed to prepare a form of petition will sub mit its report. In tbe meantime, an effort will be made to determine at what rate of interest the city will be able to float the bonds if they are voted. ATier the question of voting the bonds has been submitted, figures showing the benetks, or disadvan .aires, whichever they may be, of municipal ownership, will be given the Voice. Specul effort will be made to get at the Tacts regardless of whether they prove an argument for or aguinst the question of municipa ownership, lor tbe enlightenment of the voters Arrested for Rape. C. A. Woodward, the Santa Fe station agent at Daltnn, six miles east of Wellington, was arrested by Sheriff Hesket 1 Saturday night on a warrant issued by County Attorney Keady charging him with committing rape. foe information was sworn to by Woodward's wife. The person he is charged wit h raping is their fourteen year-old adopted daughter, Grace Hill, a sifter of Mrs. J. S. Dsvaoey of Wellington. According to the testi money nf the girl, Woodward has been guilty of improper intimacy with her for four years, ever since the time of ber adoption. The arrest has caused a great sen sation at Daltoo and in the surround ing neighborhood. Woodward lias been the Santa Fe agent there for eight or teu years, aud his character has alwas been above reproach. His friends do not believe he is gui:ty of the charge against him, aud there r stories in circulation which we do not care to produce iu print. A dele gation of Woodward's friends came to Wellington yesterday for tlie pur pose of getting him out of jail, but were unable to find the authorities. They returned to Dalton and came to Wellington again today and furnish ed a bond for $1,000 wb J. C. Carson, W. G. Whaley and Wm. Wilson, all well known citizens, askureties, and Woodward was released. School Board Meetinj. The board of education last night arranged a schedule of prices for tbe use of tbe auditorium. It is practi cally the same as last year's schedule. The charge for lecture course attract ions is $15 per night. Where there is no admission fee, 15 per nlgbt will be charm d, provided it is net necessary to Ik at the building; where heating is ttensan, tbe charge will be $3. It was voted to allow the club women the use of the suditorium nextThurs djy night for $5. The matter of selecting ushers was left to the audi torium committee. Mrs. J. M. Ready reported that she had visited the public school of Kan sas City, and found that Wellington's schools compared very favorably with them. Judga Herrick reported that the bondsmen of Clarence Benton bad agreed to allow judgment against them at an adjourned, meeting of the district court to be held on tlie ISih i inst., for the amount of shortage now remaining, and iulcrest at the rate of I per cent The bondsmen are C. A. Gambrlll, H. W. Andrews, E. Hayes, Wm. Gsllno aud A. Braoaman. - Tbe special committee appointed to see what It would post to hire a draw ing teacher, reported that Miss Alice Cheever could be employed for a part of the time for $20 per month. Mrs. J. M. Ready reported that she had two propositions from Miss A. Haydn Keyes, one proposition being tc teach one lesson in each room every week for $25 per month. .The other propo sition was to put in all of her time for $35 per month. W.n.Staffelbach moved to accept Miss Keyes' $25 proposition. The matter was dis cussed, and voted down. Those vot ing for it were: Herrick, Suffelbach and Ready. Those voting against it were: Wordeo, Bright, Carnes and Campbell. , Tbe matter of tuition in several cases was passed upon. Mabel Col lins, Albert Crist, Alfred Patch and Walter Friend were allowed to attend without tuition, and tbe case of Bes sie Ilill was passed until the next regular meeting. Superintendent Bear's report show ed the total enrollment yesterday to be 838. This Is 212 more than for the corresponding date last year, but is not a fair comparison, as an epidemic of diphtheria and scarlet fever was raging a year ago. J. W. Parksnf Ottawa, representing a furniture supply house, was present with samples of new school desks. The school needs 100 new single seats to replace the double seats in two of tbe primary rooms. Mr. Parks of fered to furnish them for $2.25 each. The matter of making the purchase was left to the proper committee, with instructions to make the best terms possible. The board adjourned. A Frightful Accident. Monroe Abell, the oldest son of Mr and Mrs. Geo. Abell of Peith, met with an accident Sunday which may cost him his life. He was lead ing a mncu cow witn a long rope, when the cow commenced romping and caught his right foot in the rope, and in some manner broko his leg just above the ankle. Tlie flesh was stripped entirely from the bones near ly to his knee, and the foot was left dangling by a slender coid. No one except the boy himself saw the accident, and he was in such in tense pain that he could not give an intelligent account of it. He is about ten years of age. H is mother was the first to see hima'ter the accident, when he was trying to walk to tbe house. The pain had not commenced and be was sticking the b ne into tbe ground aad making he id way tbe best he could. Dr. Martin of Wellington, was telegraphed for, and went to Perth that night and dressed the leg. An effort will be made to save the en tire leg, but amputation may bi ncc esMr. The iujury is such a serious one that the boy may not be able to recover Irom it. Liter: He died from bis injurirs the following rly. Burglary at Milan. J. T. Sappentteid's hardware store at Milan was broken into Sunday and goods and money to the value of $45 stolen. The railroad situation in Oklahoma ana Indian Territory is like a stiff game of poker ill sids ate bluffing. The Santa Fe is threatening to build a road Irom Arkansas City to Fort Smith, Ark., and parallel the proposed line of the Wichita & Southern. The promoters of the latter line, however, arego'ng on with their work and their surveors will start over the line the first of the week. It now seems possible that the Wichita & Southern may make a combination with the Choctaw road. Tbe latter attempted to buy the Hutchinson & Southern. It wants a northern con nection and feeder, so tfat it can hold its own lo the Territory. It is even reported that it is thinking of build ing a lite to Hutchinson. This, how ever, is Improbihle. Instead it will more likely join hands with the Wichita & Southern, and t hus prac tically control thirds in the Indian Territory. There is a well authen ticated rumor afloat, that the Santa Fe will extend the Tonkawa branch south about seven miles and connect with the branch line the Rock Island is building out of Enid. When this is done both lines will use the bra.ich. Tbe Santa Fe can get into western Oklahoma and the Rock Island can get an outlet into the eastern part. It is reported that there is an under standing between tbe two rond and that they are attempMog to control the situation, in Oklahoma. The roads are bluffing boldly. In some places two and three ro ids are sur veying lines which will never be built. Sume of tbe proposed lines may be built, but the majoi ity are for the purpose of bluffing other roads out of the TerriJory. Since the first of the year charters have been grant ted to 26 different lines nf ritilway The total mileage Is 8,312. Potta watnmie county is the favorite of the new railroad piojectors. According to the rh irter, ten new roads will ruu throusjit that cumy. Five of tlum a:e i';iiv.!si d in Lln'o.n County. t . For Ike Reed's Pardon. C. E. Elliott and Harve Coverdale circulated a petition among the busi ness men of Wellington Saturday, during the presence of Governor Stan ley in town, asking for the pardon of Ike, Reed, who is serving a life sen- eoce In tbe penitentiary for killing Ike Hopper. The petition was readily gnedbyall who were asked to sign it, and a delegation of about twenty five persons called on the governor in his rooms at the Arlington hotel in the afternoon and presented the peti tion to bim. Eich Derson in the delegation made a personal request of the governor to grant the pardon, ex plaiuing that the petition was gotten up to show the feeling of the business men in Wellington concerning the matter, and saying it was the general pinion of all who were acquainted with tbe circumstancesiof the killing that Reed had been punished suffic iently. While Governor Stanley did not commit himself, it was plain that he was impressed with the manner in which the Wellington people ap proached him on Reed's behalf, and many believe the governor will con sider the application favorably. Death of E. K. PeolwelL E. K. Peniwell died at bis home in Northwest Wellington Monday at 7:30 o'clock, cf heart disease. He had beeu in a critical condition fur a week past.

The Conway Springs Star tells of the attempted suicide of Miss Dora Wise, sixteen years of age, living near Ewell. She is a daughter of Daniel Wise. Thegirl swallowed a tablespoon- ful of carbolic acid, but will recover. The Star say: "From what e can learn, the reasou for her rash act was about as follows: She went to a dance with some young fellow Monday night and did not get home until early Tuesday morning, ner mother, who was in bpd sick, reproved her for being out all night. The girl stepped to another room, got the carbolic acid came to the door with it in a spoon and said to her mother, 'I am goiDg to take this,' and she did. "Dr. Mclllieony of Conway Springs, was sent for at once and when he ar rived there be found that her mouth and throat were bidly burned and she was suffering intensely. While she will haid'j tejover entirely, it is thought now lint the dose will not do the work she intended it should do." Tbe "Ponca City Branch." The first Santa Fe cars to run on the old Hutchinson & Southern road went over the line yesterday. Gen era! Manager J. J. Frey, General Superintendent H. C. Mudge, Super intendentF. T. Dolan of Wichita, and D. D. Bailey, superintendent from Wellington, pisxd over the linn in a special nn a tour of inspection. It has not been derived yet what the Hutchinson & Southern will be called hut it will probably be named the "Ponca City branch." A Pumpkin Freak. Mrs. A. G. Green bought a pumpkin the otherday, an1 upon cutting it open, found it as solid as an apple, with the seeds sprouting on the in side. One nf the sprouts had grown Into a vine several inches long, and there wa a leaf on it. The pumpkin was grown in this county. New Trial la Campbell & Hood Case. Juuge McBrioe has granted anew trial in tbe ra-e nf Campbell & Hood v. The Board of County Commission ers, on the ground that the jury did not understand the court's in structions. Newton lansan: Tup Hutchinson k Southern agents at Kingman, Rago, Harper, Blackwell and Cross will do doubt soon r-p searching for new loca tions. At each of these points the Santa Fe has agents who will 00 doubt look after all of the local business.... It is railroad "talk" that the Santa Fe will build twtnty-flre miles ex tension from Cross planned by the Hutchinson & Southern company, afterwards continuing the line to a point some distance to the south west. ...Tbe trains from the Hutch inson & Southern come into the Santa Fe depot dow over some combination of other road and salt switches, and they will continue to start out from andstopattheSmtaFe depot."

The following bit of word painting from the Anthony Republican, en titled "Indian Summer in Kansas,' deserves to be classed with the best literature of Kansas: "The very air is invigorant; fragrant from the har- vest, spiced with the wood smoke, bracing from the first frosts, scintll lant with the glorious sunshine that fills tbe shortening autumn jays with splendor aud makes tnln and lumin ous the attendant slndow. ''Bob White" shrills cf more wet, rJ-jre wet;" his Q lakerish little wife, witb ba'f grown brood, trimly speedsacross the roadway into the ripened corn, or with musical "whir-r-r-r" rises, to diVo into the di-lmit sen of undulat ing browty prair'e larks trill and carol on the ruMy w ire or perched 00 the iufn quent posts that hold tha cattle from the ripened field. Hawks fly low; frightened sparrows flutter into trees atd hedge row; rabbits scurry from bare pastures to grassy covert, or sit erect and watch with distended eye, quivering nostril and rigid ear th impending danger. Tbe murmur of voices, the morning cock crow, me towing 01 c-tine, are as dis tant rouble, carried softlf to the ear by the voluptuous air. Corn shocks dot the fli-ld tents of any army that stands near by in whispering ranks. A multitude of p !.t;e aud plenty; 00 arms, no equipment, but a haversack of golden grain on hip or shoulder.

In rusty velvet fields, big dusky hajstacka stand in herds or gather In about the barn, shouldering one another in pon derous good humor. From the 'in spiration of tbe care-s'ng air, -the peaceful, plenteous view, satisfied achievement of a summer's work, of. goodly store from nature's plenty, we ' look with brighteoed eye, bounding blood and de3aot head, to tbe north, undaunted by the Icy breath that tells of coming snow."
