TIRED AND STIFF SOLDIERS RETURN New York and New Jersey Troops Learn What the Real Thing Is.

Fo raft

STARCH OUT OF UNIFORMS GENERAL BLISS, WHO COMMANDED THE ATTACKING FORCE CLAIMS HE COULD HAVE CAPTURED "SACRED COD."

(American News Service) New York, Aug.. 2J. Bedraggled and ore, the New York and New Jersey militiamen, who- as a part of the red

army, helped to capture Boston despite

the defense of the blue army, returned today on the Fall River line steamers Puritan and Pilgrim. Big crowd3 awaited their arriveal in Manhattan,

and cheered lustily as the soldiers-

landed. A week ago the national guards

men started off spick and span in neat

ly brushed and pressed khaki. They came back today tired, blistered and caked with Massachusetts mud.. Day

after day a hard rain took all the

starch out of their uniforms. All Were Happy.

But in spite of sore muscles and

lookB of campaigners, they were a jubi

lant lot as exuberant as if they had

captured the sacred Cod of the Hub in real earnest.

General Bliss who commanded the attacking army, declared today that if the umpires had not called the war off when his army was nearer Boston

than the defenders, he would have

entered the city itself within a few

days.

WHISTLED HIS WAY

' Helen, Wash., Aug. 21. Eddie Murphy, 11 years old, who left Cork, Ireland with his cheery whistle and a sil

ver dollar on the morning of July 15, has reached here, having whislted his way across the continent. He was met by his uncle, R. H. Landis, who will take the brave little fellow and give him a home and an education. Eddie said he had an enjoyable journey across the Atlantic ocean, where his birdlike notes made him many friends on the big steamer. He also received many presents of dimes, quarters and dollars on the overland trip from New York. The boy has a brogue that would make a fortune for an Irish comedian' an he is as bright as a new dollar. Briefly told, Eddie's mission in America is to go to school and learn as be puts it, and when he grows up he is going to work, doing a man's work.

GOOD: ROADS WILL FIND ADVOCATES Cleveland Convention Next Month Will Be Very Well Attended. NATIONAL DELEGATIONS

SOUTHERN AND1 FAR WESTERN STATES WILL BE PARTICULARLY WELL REPRESENTED STRONG SENTIMENT SHOWN.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 21. Responses from governors of twenty five states and the mayors from scores of cities have been received by the national convention committee of the second annual National Good Roads convention, to be held at Cleveland. Ohio, September 21, 22 and 23. In many cases these officials have named their official delegates and judging from the interest that the purposes of the convention have aroused in all parts of the country the coming meeting will not only be the largest of its kind ever held in America but is certain to be

productive of far reaching results in

the National good roads movement. Significant Fact. It is a significant fact that among the favorable responses already received to send delegates, the southern and far western states are particularly well represented. There has been a gradually incrasing interest in favor of good roads throughout the south during the past year, and this sentiment has been clearly reflected in the replies received from many governors and other officials. Charles P. Light, commissioner of public roads, of Charleston, West Virginia, has endorsed the aims of the convention and will be present with the State

engineer. Governor Brown, of Georgia who has recently shown his interest

in good roads in an unmistakable manner, hao appointed delegates. North Carolina, Mississippi and Maryland have also named delegates. Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma, has promised that his distant, but very energetic state will be represented, while Governor Benson, of Oregon, says, 'The objects of this convention meet with my hearty approval and I shall be very glad to name five of our most prominent citizens as delegates at an early date.' Interesting Letter. An Interesting letter was' received by Secretary Elliott last week from Mayor Grant Conrad, of San Diego,

Cal., who named five delegates in

cluding John D. Spreckles and A. G. Spalding, head of the well known

sporting goods firm and who has a large estate near San Diego. Mayor

Kreismann, of St. Louis, has appointed as the representatives from that city Samuel D. Capen, President of the St. Louis Automobile club and tht park and street commissioners. Carl Fisher, who took so active a part in promoting the new Indianapolis motor speedway, has been named by the mayor of Indianapolis to represent that city together with A. C. Newby and H. O. Smith, also well known automobilists. The committee in Cleveland in charge of the exhibit of road making machinery has already received offers of a large number of exhibits and this feature of the convention, while entirely new in itself, will be of peculiar value to the many state engineers and road commissioners who will be present. The central armory in Cleveland has been secured for the exhibit.

Wanderings of Ulysses, Kan. Odd Tale of a Tramp Town

This Is the tale of a Kansas county seat and its canny citizens, says Colliers'. In 18S5 the prairie schooners began to come in a white, hopeful procession to southwestern Kansas. Then also, came the town site promoter. Three vigorous towns sprang into life in what is now Grant county Surprise, Cincinnati and Ulysses. As soon as Grant county was organized, the Ulysses council issued $36,000 in bonds on the town, bonded the school district for $13,500 and raised $S,000 for a court house. It is often sand now that this money was used to buy votes In the county seat war. kidnapping and even murder were not unknown in those days cf town seat fights. Voters apt to favor Surprise or Cincinnati were warned away and sometimes imprisoned in their own homes. Hundreds of free lances drifted from county to county prepared to sell themselves' to the highest bidder. Three hundred dollars was not considered a prohibitory price for a vote. Of course Ulysses won tie election.. Cincinnati and Surprise faded awa7Ulysses began to boom. The promoters made their cleanup and adjourned

to Garden City to boom that town. Then the bottom dropped out. ihi interest on the bonds was not paid, crops failed, and cattle depreciated.

The population was reduced to 40. They, however, were staunch souls; they stuck it out like soldiers, and this spring there were 100 actually prospering to such an extent that they decided to revive the city government. ' . In 1008 the bonds had fallen due, but the bond holders had no one to sue. Directly the mayor, police and council were elected the bondholders got to work. Now the present citizens of Ulysses had forgotten all about those bonds possibly some of them had never heard of them. So Ulysses picked up its bed and walked. Her citizens) bought a tract of land midway between their town and the old site of Cincinnati. The exodus began in March. As they were 24 miles from a telegraph station, it was easy to keep this trek a comparative secret. Three stores, a bank, two real estate offloes, a law office, blacksmith

shop, hotel and the bom and

of the 100 citizens were hauled across the prairie. And now it is New Ulysses. A special election was held, and the new town won the county seat. The bondholders are puzzled. They cannot sue New Ulysses for the debts of OKI Ulysses,, and as for seizing the .property of Old Ulysses, in lieu of payment, that, as they say in Kansas, would be enough to make a coyote laugh.

PUSS WAS A SAILOR

New York, Aug. 21. The feeble cry of a cat came out of a big case containing an automobile that was hoisted yesterday out of the hatch of the White Star liner Adriatic, in on Thursday from Southampton. ,A few boards were ripped and out crawled a gaunt, wild-eyed black cat. He made an effort to get away, but was so weak that he toppled over. A steward brought him a saucer of

milk and he braced up enough to waik down the gangplank and be appropriated by the pier superintendent as the pier's mascot Adriatic. The automobile he was boxed up with came from Paris and was consigned to the American Express Com

pany. He had been ten days on the, ship, which sailed from Cherbourg on August 4, and he may have been several days more in the box after it was : shipped from Paris. It is likely that ! he had nothing to eat, unless a strayrat Invaded his prison, for at least! twelve days.
