WANTS TERM 10 BEGIHAT ONCE Former Senator Burton of Kansas Accepts the Decision of Supreme Court

READY FOR PRISON GARB HIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT SAYS HE WILL-NEITHER APPLY FOR OR ACCEPT A PARDON FROM GOVERNOR. Abilene, Kan., Oct. 15. J. R. Burton, former U. S. senator from Kansas, when seen at his home here this afternoon regarding the action of the supreme court of the 'United State3 in refusing him a rehearing said: "This Is not ray time to talk." .Further tlian. this Mr. Burton declined to discuss-the case. However, It is stated from an authoritative source that he already has communicated with his attorneys asking that his term of imprisonment begin .at tho earliest possible moment. Sometime ago Mr. Burton caused au official statement to be made by his attorneys that if the supreme court denied him a rehearing, he would neither apply for a pardon nor accept one If it were granted. Mr. Burton received iievs ;f the court's action iu the same calm manner he has shown in every step of his case. CITY THAT HAD "ZfiiUD." low Galveston I Still Raisins Use! Above Flood Line. Each day the solid wall crept farther along the gulf front until at length it stretched four and a half miles, guard ing the whole corporate length to Its. outer limits, aud on top of this the city has undertaken a task unknown in bistory, but which " is now one-third completed to lift itself bodily above the flood line. A district as large as all that part of Manhattan below Houston street i3 being raised to a height in places fifteen feet above its present level. It was not an open country or n tract of waste land which was to be lifted. It was the major part of an active, vigorous town, the most important business center of the southwest. Street car lines, gas pipes, water mains, houses, churches, all the complex mechanism of a metropolis, had to be elevated an average of seven feet above the old grade. No less than 11,(JOO.000 cubic yards are needed to complete this work. . Eleven million cubic yards! The quantity conveys no definite idea to most. What it really meant for the gulf city to undertake this work may be realized from comparisons. Galveston is the second export city of the United States. During the last fiscal year, 1905, there cleared here for both United States and foreign ports vessels of a total of 1,702.478 net registered tons. Thjs tonnage Is an equivalent of 1,828,000 cubic yards. If every vessel clearing from the port of Galveston last year had been loaded with sand to her full net tonnage capacity the amount carried away would be less than one-sixth of what is being used in raising the grade. The material required would make five pyramids as large as that of Cheops. If every vessel flying the American Cag were required to bring one full cargo of sacd it would take three trips of this great fleet to meet Galveston's need. This Is the magnitude of the public work that the c!ty of less than 40.000 souls has undertaken with no outside aid save the retention of its own state taxes for seventeen years. The men of Galveston have built a solid concrete sea well four and a half miles long at a cast of $1,DC0.C00 and have paid for it in cash. They have backed the wall up with a hundred feet of solid filling and are now raising the greater portion of the city to an average height of fourteen and a half feet above sea level at a cost of $2,200.000 further. The solution of the problem of raising Galveston was an engineering feat. No tool in America could accomplish the work within the city's resources, and hauling material by rail cost $500,000 more than the municipal tax limit would allow. Suction dredges could not pump sand three miles into the heart of the town. The solution lay in the radical proposal of driving a canal into the heart of the city and using self propelled dredges, but recently introduced in Europe, which could take their loads from the ship channel, steam up this canal and discharge the material under the houses and through the streets. The operation of these engineering Titans possesses a certain interest. They steam over or alongside a sand bank. The main engines actuate a large centrifugal pump, whose function it Is to take up material and-discharge it Into the hoppers. "Kreisel pompe," or whirlpool pump, was the name given it by the old Prussian pioneer who first applied this principle to hydraulic dredging. The pump forms a smal. maelstrom, sucking up into the interia: of the dredge sand, mud, etc., with S'. to 00 per cent of sea water. Then wit: a full load of hundreds of tons th dredge steams across the navigabh channel, up the temporary canal ant pipes the mixture on to the lots anc appointed streets. Two years more will see the accomplishment of this great undertaking The sea wall will withstand the fury of the wildest storms. The raising o Its grade will lift the city above the danger point of the highest flood. The incubus which has for so long overshadowed this entrepot of the south west will vanish. Galveston's legiti oiate future will have to its realization no vital barrier Po;-rif American.

At the meeting last night there was a good attendance and the Rev. GJ K. Little p reached an interG. K. LITTLE. esting sermon. The stereopticon views are especially good. Religious songs are illustrated with splendid slides, adding much to their effectiveness.

After considerable more delay than was anticipated. School No. 11, Wayne township, was opened on Mon day under the direction of Miss Stella Richey and Miss Mattie Jackson. The building is one of the most modern and complete in the county and all concerned are delighted with it. Oratory at Earlham. Interest at Earlham College for the next few weeks will not all be centered in football for the oratorical contest will come in for its share of attention. Announcement' is made by the Oratorical Association that all orations must be submitted by October 29. Class contests will be held November 8 and 9, the college contest about November 20 and the state contest some time in February. It is the belief that Earlham has some promising oratorical timber this year . and Wid make a good showing. Work of a Russian

Rescued after three days afloat on an angry sea, with no better raft than he could fashion by binding together heavy planks with his oil skins which he had torn into strips; picked up in mid ocean by a Yankee man of war, carried to Havana, and ' finally brought to Boston, is the story that James Ohlson, of Brooklyn, mate of the lumber schooner Twilight, which turned turtle in the storm of September 17, told this evening as he was waiting to be sent to the United States marine hospital it Chelsea. The cruiser Minneapolis, while on her way to Havanna picked Ohlson up. He was on the point of exhaustion and could have kept afloat but a short time ldnger when the searchlights of the cruiser revealed hiin. Careful attention brought uim around so that he Is "able to get about now, but for days he was cared for in the sick bay of the man of war. BAT7 s JERSEY. Powerful Acerlcna Vriiel Sow In Ccban Water.

THE conditions In Cuba, whie occasioned the visit cf tl American peace commissio: ers, Messrs. Taft and Baco are peculiar, and it is hard for tl. people of the United. States to uncle stand them because we have nsvt had anything like them in this couutr. In a semitropicr.l climate like that c Cuba a life of freedom ia the woods with plenty of good things from neigb boring plantation upon which to live with only the trouble of takingthem, inot without its uttractioas to a certain class of men la search of adventure. In troubles like that between the Cuban insurgents and the Palma government pitched battles seldom occur, and when there is an eucouater between the opposing sides the casualties art usually small. In the frequent revolutions ia :the small Central American states and in tbe more turbulent re publics of South America which have not yet outgrowa what President Roosevelt calls the "insurrectionary GOVEKNSirNT SOTiDTEBS TS HHTTSQ FKOlABM02ED TItAlX. habit" battles which figure unde; "scare" headlines In the press dis patches often resemble the maneuver? of tbe . famous kins of France who with bis 10.000 men. marched up a hii: and then marched down sgcin. It has been much the same ia Cuba. The ranks of Palma's army, as well as those ct the insurgents in Cuba, number many warriors of the. kind sometimes called "soldiers of fortune.'' They have been attracted to join the forces of the government in part by the excellent wage3 paid for such services $2 per day and SO cents for food, which is quite different from the scanty $13 per month paid the private soldier of the regular army of the UniteO States. On the other hand, the insur gents, with their promises of what thej would do for their followers when the; got the best of Pn'.ma's goveramonl were t' ''vhnrs 1 n HO Mon

stincts prompted them to oin the side where the spoils of : victory' would be greater in case of success. Theft i" always In Cuba a large element wfcv?b prefers fighting under any condition to a life of peace accompanied by the necessity of work." The Insurgent chiefs as soon as they began levying n jtbe farmers, in the effort to supply the wants of their warriors adopted the practice of giving receipts reading like this: "I have received f roaj - the amount of $ wort! of merchandise, to be paid for whei. r rSSCRGENT I-IGHTEES. the republic shall have been leg .l constituted. (Signed) ." IIow cftt levies in this manner had to be mat. may be judged from the fact that ti army of General Faustino Guerra F. entes. In PInar del Rio province, whlc! a few days ago was estimated at 3.CC men, required for its daily sustenanc about forty-two oxen and twenty pigs not to" mention potatoes, rice, bananas and other "trimmings." Seizure of the property of Cubans has not always been accompanied with politeness. The story Is told that in a raid by members of one of Guerra's bands on a Cuban farmer they had taken from him his two horses and killed his two oxen and then instructed him to go into a field and catch two mules grazing there.' "Get them for yourselves," repliet the farmer, whereupon tbe leaders of the band struck him down with ma chetes and while he was lying uncon sclous hacked to pieces all of his prop erty which they could not carry away. The government as soon as hostilities opened this autumn began sending out armored trains with detachments of soldiers on board. Though the govern ment was at an advantage in possessing such facilities for fighting, this adVantage was often offset by the agility displayed by the insurgents in tearing up tracks and preventing the movement of government troops in this fashion. It Isn't always safe to be interested in what pcoplo don't rW.
