TOPEKA STATE JQURXAI THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 10, 1202. IT IS ALL RIGHT. Secretarj Coburn Clears the Russian Tumbleweed. Talaable as a Feed For Lire Stock. HOW TO HARVEST THEM Cut For Hay When They Are in Bloom. They May Also Be Used as "Greens." A few years ago the farmers of north western Kansas became terror-stricken because of the appearance of the Rus sian thistle or tumble weed in that locality. The country newspapers dis cussed It every week and urged the farmers to use every effort to stamp the pest out of existence, and the legisla ture passed a law to compel united ac tion to exterminate it. Efforts were unavailing, however, al though the spread of the thistle has been largely abridged. Within the past two or three years a number of farmers have come forward with the discovery that the thistles make the finest kind of hay and pasturage. It is claimed that cattle prefer them to any other kind of feed. This has caused a war to break out. A good many farmers were convinced that the thistle might be really blessing in disguise, but its enemies became more implacable than ever and denounced the alleged benefits to be derived from the thistle as fabri cations. To ascertain the truth of the re ports Secretary Cob urn has been gather ing statements from farmers in the lo calities where the thistles grow, and to day these statements were published in the quarterly report of the state board of agriculture. On the cover of the re port Secretary Cob urn uses the follow ing quotation from the Bible: "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes." In his introduction Secretary Coburn says: "Eight years ago the equanimity of Kansas farmers, especially those in the more northwestern counties, was ds turbed by the appearance on their cul tivated lands of .a new and strange weed, which proved to be the dreaded Busslan thistle or Russian tumbleweed. Its source of Introduction has been ascribed to Colorado and Nebraska being brought in alfalfa seed from the former and tumbled' in by winds from the latter. Immediately following Its were made and stringent measures adopted to prevent its spread and if possible to eradicate it. Much informa tion was disseminated, telling of the weed"s pernicious habits, and giving the observations and experiences of others who had dealt with it, as well as the best means of preventing its spread. "Russian thistle seeds probably were brought to the United States in flax seed from Russia, and the presence of the- plants In any alarming -numbers was first noted in South Dakota, where they rapidly spread more or less to North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, and other sections, and, regardless of location, soils, conditions, or climates, they seem ed to thrive and multiply. But all along the line a fierce fight has been waged against them, although often with little avail, and nothing but the vigilant co operation by the inhabitants of infest ed districts is likely ever to bring about their extermination. "In Kansas the thistles have as yet been pretty well confined to the north west corner of the state, the section earliest seeded, and it is gratifying to note that they have not been permitted largely to extend their area in a threat ening way. In the territory where they are, however, nothing but condemna tion of them has been heard until re cently. Within the past few years, however, there have come indirectly to the Kansas agricultural department oc casional reports of their being utilized, both green and cured, as feed for live stock, and with a view of ascertaining the facts as to such practices the de partment has interviewed numerous parties who have harvested thistles and fed them to live stock on a considerable scale, and what they say Is set forth In detail in the following pages, along with other kindred Information. "Russian thistles, as generally under stood, are regarded as the farmer's im placable enemy, a hateful menace to all useful vegetation, and a curse to agri cultural districts; difficult to prevent the spread of or to exterminate. While It is well known that, when young and growing, they are often greedily eaten by live stock, especially sheep and cat tle, their utilization as indicated is new. In this connection, it is proper to say that the state board of agriculture, in devoting a publication' to the discussion of this subject, does not in any sense intend to appear as encouraging or even countenancing the growth of this tles for any purpose whatsoever, as the farms of Kansas should not be dis graced nor depreciated by their pres ence. "Of the parties Interviewed most agvee that the so-called "thistle hay quite favorably corresponds in feeding value with that from native grasses, and some even assert that it Is equal to alfalfa, which m quality it is said to resemble in some respects when proper ly cured. "From a general survey of the reports thistle hay is considered by those who have used It nutritious and fattening, and cattle and sheep with no other feed can be sustained through the winter in as fair condition as when other ordinary forage is used. It is also indicated that horses and mules do not seem to care Grand Special Sale It oar Store, July 15th and 16th A handsome Souvenir given every person baying goods to amount of SOo or more.

Used with sorghum, millet, alfalfa, etc., eattle make no apparent distinction between them, and if any preference was shown it would likely be In favor of the this tles. "The thistles are cut for hay with mowers when 8 to 12 inches high, when blooming, and before the stems become woody. Some report that thistles can be cut two or three times during a sea son, when conditions are favorable. "Wherever live stock has access to thistles it is observed that the young plants are greedily eaten, and they are found excellent for increasing the flow of milk. Their early growth gives suc culent grazing in the spring some time before other vegetation is advanced sufficiently to be available and is likely to be abundant on infested tracts, re gardless of weather or soil conditions. "It is generally reported that all live stock relish the pasturage afforded by thistles for the three or four growing months each year, but that sheep and cattle particularly like it, abandoning other herbage In its favor, and even break through fences in their eagerness to graze upon it, rather than be con fined to the prairie or buffalo grass. When intended for hay thistles prefer ably should not be grazed upon. Whether grazed or cut for hay enough branches or stems will yet be left to produce enormously of seed in course of the season, and their survival is in no wise endangered by either. "It is also reported that the very young plants are excellent for human food as 'greens. Secretary Coburn emphatically dis claims any intention of encouraging the growth of the thistles for any purpose, but instead he urges their extermination. BRING ROADS TO TIME. Complaints Against Rock Island and Missouri Pacific. The board of directors of the Commer cial club met last night for the consid eration of the re .to oval of some of the Rock Island offices from this city and the threatened removal of others. President John E. Frost and Secretary T. J. Ander son were instructed to confer with Gener al Attorney M. A. Low in regard to the matter. Mr. Low Is now in St. Louis where he is in charge of the negotiations of the Rock Island for new properties. The efforts of the Commercial club seem useless. The changes determined upon by the Rock Island were made for the im provement in handling the work of the departments and it seems hardly likely that any of the changes announced to be made will be reconsidered. The Rock Island of ficials claim that the changes made in bringing an additional force of employes to this city will recompense for the num ber of employes taken away. It is an nounced by the Rock Island that the of fices of the officials of the operating de partment and the general attorney's of fices are not to be removed from Topeka. The Missouri Pacific road is coming in for a share of consideration by the local shippers. "The merchants of Topeka have begun to realize more vividly than ever that this city and this county is deriving no benefit from the investment of 175,000 which was made to secure the Missouri Pacific here, and on the bonds for which investment this county is at the present time paying interest." said Major Anderson. One Topeka shipper, A. B. Whlting.in a letter to the commercial agent of the Mis souri Pacific at Wichita notified that road that hereafter insofar as he was con cerned the Missouri Pacific would be dis criminated against in the routing of freight. This action is being followed by other Topeka shippers. A representative of the Missouri Pacific has been in conference with Mr. Whiting several times since his notification that he would do no more business with that road than was absolutely necessary. No prom ises of an improvement in service were made however. Train service between Topeka and Fort Scott is so bad that it is practically val ueless to Topeka. People living along the line south of here have to stay in this city two nights to come here to do their trad ing. By the construction of a line of rail road to connect Topeka with the Central Branch of the Missouri Pacifie a rich ter ritory would be opened up to Topeka wholesalers and jobbers that is really trib utary to Topeka, but from which at -the present time the local dealers are com pletely barred. By the construction of less than twenty miles between Waverly and LeRoy in Coffey county a direct line could be opened up through a richer coun try that should be tributary to Topeka. This line would make a direct line from Topeka and the road north of here to a portion of the Indian Territory and Ar kansas and would be a valuable line to the Missouri Pacific railroad. The merchants and wholesalers of To peka are contemplating taking some ac tion to impress the officials of the Missou ri Pacific with the importance of giving the local shippers and travelers better ac commodations. COLORED CHURCH SOUTH. Annual Meeting of Topeka Conference in Session at Emporia. Emporia. Kan.. July 10. The annual meeting of the Topeka conference of the G M. E. church is being held in Emporia in the church on East street. A large number of delegates are pres ent, among them members from Topeki and Kansas City. The C. M. E. is not identical with the A. M. E. church. The A. M. E. denomination corresponds with the Methodist church north, while the C M. is the southern church. Landor, the poet, says in one of his sweet little sonnets: "We are what suns, and winds, and waters make us;' but unfortunately suns will scorch. winds will rough hen, and waters will not remove the injurious effects of the other two upon the lovely complexion of the fairer sex. For ages chemists have tried to distil from herbs and min erals an elixir of beauty but they have failed, and it was left to modern times to find a cosmetic which should remove every speck and blemish, and leave a soft and pearly lovliness upon the roughest skin. Gouraud's Oriental Cream does this, and while so perfectly harmless that spring water is not more so, it has a magic influence upon the complexion which cannot be over esti mated or believed until realized. To our lady readers we simply say, would you be as lovely as kindly Nature in tended? Then use the Oriental Cream Also from the noted star actress: Philadelphia. Nov. 22, 1883. "I cordially recommend Dr. T. Felix Gouraud's Oriental Cream, or Magical Beautiner, as it is perfectly harmless. Sincerely, T.TT.T.TB HTNTON. Marshall's Band Tomorrow.

Topeka Man Discusses a Feder ation of Millers. Advocates a Combination For Mutual Benefit. Entertainers of rare ability kept those who were seated at the millers banquet at the Cope land hotel last night in a state of uproarious laughter from the 'time the banqueters pushed their chairs back from their coffee te enjoy their cigars and the flow of rep artee until the time the affair was drawn to a close in the mall hours of morning. The retiring president of the associa tion, J. H. MeNair of Halstead was toasfcn aster and eat at the middle of the table in the south end of the room overlooking the room filled to its ca pacity with tables surrounded by mill ers, export and railroad men, who formed as congenial a crowd as ever sat down to a banquet in this city. The honors in the story telling line were pretty equally divided between H. S. Kennedy of the National Millers Federation, "Pat" Murphy of the Mis souri association and J. W. McGowan. a Kansas City telephone man. Governor Stanley was to have re sponded to the toast "The State of Kansas' to begin the festivities. He was unable to attend, however. During the evening "Pat" Murphy, who speaks a beautiful Swede dialect and who lu fact told nothing but Swede dialect stories in a fascinating manner, an nounced that he had a good story on Governor Stanley. He was talking to a Swedish friend of his one day when the following conversation took place: Murphy," this friend said, "did you ever hear Governor Stanley make a speech?" Murphy admitted that he had never had the privilege. "Well, you don't know what you've missed, said the friend. "He makes one of the finest speeches you evei heard. Why one time during the cam paign he talked for two hours." "What did he say?" asked Murphy. The Swede friend wrinkled up his face. "I tank he didn't say anyting,'" he replied. Murphy told one on Tom McNeal. "McNeaL" he said, "was at one time a judge in one of the inferior courts at Medicine Lodge and Jerry Simpson was the officer. A deaf and dumb man did something for which he came under the pale of toe law and McNeal sent Simp son out to arrest the man. Simpson brought him Into court and his heart went out in sympathy for the poor un fortunate. He plead for leniency with the man on account of his afflictions, being deaf and dumb. Finally after lis tening to the pleading, McNeal exclaim ed 'Oh, never mind, we'll give him his hearing next week." Mr. Kennedy who "responded to the toast, "Our Friend from Sweden," told a half dozen stories in as many dif ferent dialects, and then told more stories. Mr. McGowan, the big jovial tele phone'man told a telephone story of the difficulties of a German who was work ing in a brewery at his first trial in us ing a telephone. This was followed by several other stories. C. D. Hoffman, of Enterprise, who is interested in co-operative milling re sponded to a toast on that subject- He began on a long dissertation on that line of work, in the middle of which he sat down, calling on Mr. Kennedy to finish the story. Mr. Kennedy finished with a story of an incident in the build ing of a Minnesota railroad where co operation did not work. Charles Lv Roos, manager of the Kan sas Milling and Export company re sponded to the toast, "The Export Prophet." He dealt mainly with facts in his remarks. "Our company has disposed of all the surplus flour of the millers in our as sociation to an advantage," he declar ed. "Every sack of flour which has been disposed of either in the export market or in the eastern market has borne the name of Kansas in a promt; nent place. "I am anxious to see the Kansas mill era adopt a uniform grade of high patent flours. The Kansas flour is equal if not superior to that of the mills of any of the other flour producing states. The great trouble heretofore has been that too many grades of Kansas flour has found its way to eastern mar kets which were really of about the same quality. This was caused by the various mills each grading to a stand ard of its own. This is rapidly being overcome and the larger millers are be ginning to unite in making uniform grades. This must be done to success fully compete with the other flour com panies. I am happy to say that we are now beginning to get returns from the export sales made nearly a yea ago. Kansas flour is giving entire sat isfaction, as is shown by continued orders for the same brands bought at earlier dates." Herbert Hackney of Topeka, whose hobby is the federation of millers, re sponded to a toast on that subject. He said: "This is the age of merging. Great mergers have been made in the steel and railroad fields. It was made neces sary because the large opert.tjrs found that to do business withoui the dis turbing elements of the many smaller factions it was necessary to gain con trol of their properties. I believe that tne millers should be federated to gether for their own protection. If the millers were to form a trust such as are some of the big eastern trusts, a hue and cry would be raised that would be heard in all parts of the world. "Bread is the poor man's food. It is generally conceded to be the staff of life. Vet it is a fact, although not generally known, that it costs more for butter than it does to supply the table with bread: it costs more for eggs than for bread; and ever so much more for meats than for bread. In fact, there is not a solitary food except salt that goes on a man's table but that costs more each year than the bread for that table. "The next thing to a trust for the millers is for them to combine for nratiial nrofitr to form a bureau with a set of rules gov erning tne miners woo Belong, "jet eacB miller irake some concession, if necessary. and each miller tell of the difficulties which he has to meet and all work to- p-nner to remedy the -ufriculties and evil That is what cir National Millers' federa tion is for. This orsraoization is eauinoed to disseminate all the news that is ob tainable to the millers who belong to the association. As illustration of what the usefulness of this bureau will be. I will re late how we shipped two car loads of flour o a Tennessee aeaier. tpon receipt or the flour they wrote us that th flour was not us to ararte of the smmnles and re fused to take the floor. We happened to nave a rvfreentfltive near tnat place and we tele-anhed him to Investterate. H? found that the seal of the car had never been broken and that the dealers were planning to get us to offer tha flour at any price because it was so far from the mill. We learned later that they had treated many miners the same way. Our bureau will be for the dissemination of the news ef just such people and it will be then im possible for them to buy Sour without cash In advance. "Then again it is needful that we have national legislation. Our organization ia fully equipped to reach congress, the members of eoxurress and all officials that are necessary, while the little handful of millers in this state could accomplish nothing by even attempting to secure leg islation. But when all the states are rep resented in this manner we will be bet ter a Me to secure the passase of legisla tion that will be productive of the growth of cur industry. "The mills of the United States annual ly produce more flour than is needed for domestic consumption and It now becomes necessary for the millers to secure reci procal relations with other countries for the further development and growth of this industry." Chart es .Ridge way and A. Miller also re sponded to a call for a toast, and George Hackney read some of the letters of a travelinar man in a thlnlv nonalated nart of the country. Senator Burton aooeared before the mill ers' association to the afternoon at the request of the association, and made a speech on reciprocity. He said: "The millers of Kansas have not been receiving the consideration they should, but then? are reciprocal measures which are now tied up in the senate committee which I think will pass the next session of con gress. In urging your measures for reci procity oe generous, oe uoerai ana just Io not let them conflict with protection. Certain reciorocal relations with Cuba would prove detrimental to the United Etates. For example, the admission of ail vegetables from Cuba to the United States would break up the gardening industries in several of the states along the Atlantic seaboard. Reciprocal measures can be carried too far. The industries should be fostered in their infancy. The milling in dustry has been fostered thus until it is one of the greatest of industries. I want to see the sugar beet industry fostered ir. the same way until it ia as great as the milling industry. I want to see sugar made on American son as nour is maae on American soil. We have reached the high tide In this country in the protection of industries. We should lower some sched ules for the purpose of increasing our for eign trade, as many of the industries now protected are now no longer infants. We should keep up the tariff on some, such as beet sugar, until there is an over-production as Is the case in the steel industry." THE LANE UNIVERSITY. Location at Hutchinson Would Cost the City $100,000. Hutchinson, Kan-, July 10. Rev. J. R. Harner of Winfield and Rev. T. I). Crites of Russell, the committee sent here by the United Brethren church of the Btate to examine Hutchinson as a prospective site for Lane university, now located at Lecompton, met with the Commercial club and stated what they expected. The ministers said other communities which are after the col lege would offer a large sum and they suggested that Hutchinson would do well to offer a bonus of $60,000 in land and money or buildings. The church itself expects to spend J10O.0O0 on the college when it is trans ferred. They would like the communi ty where the college is taken to give a bonus equal to half that amount at least- They claim a church member ship to support the institution of be tween 20,000 and 25,000. The college wants first a site of about 40 acres. This would amount at the rate of $100 an acre to $40,000. There is little doubt that such a site could easily be secured close to town. So far as the cash bonus is concerned that is a very different matter. The trustees will meet at Topeka on August S to recommend a location. The location they select will then be sub mitted to the several conferences, where the matter will be- voted upon by dele gates from each church In the state. All of these conferences will have voted by November 1. at which date the result will be known. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. C. F. Bridge and wife to I. Gragg. JSOO, tract on Kansas avenue. North Topeka.

When you want to do things for peo ple is it in order to help them or to put them under obligations to you? Some of the women think that Otln Castle as well as Jessie Morrison ought to serve a 2a year sentence, but the men, remembering how they would hate to be punished Just because they are so fascinating that the girls can't help loving them, refuse to take that view of it. One advantage of not being "in" ia that you can never be dropped out. The difference between the gossips and the "blabbers," who are equally ob jectionable members of society, is that the gossips tell things they don t know and the "blabbers" tell all they do. The women who composed a part of Senator Burton's audience at the Audi torium Monday night are Justly indig nant at the impudence of the Topeka newspaper reporter who said that there were a goodly number of women pres ent who "fluttered their fans and won dered what it was all about- They would have this impertinent critic know that some women are as thoroughly posted on politics as the men, and un derstand all about Cuban reciprocity which is something that President Roosevelt is for and Senator Burton is against.

D. W. LITTLE'S LOSS. His Pocket Book, Money and Railroad Passes Gone. If the person who found a pocketbook containing Jo0 or $60 and a considerable bunch of railroad passes a day or two ago will return it to the office of the superin. tenaent of public instruction, they will see one of the broadest grins that ever dwelt upon the face of man. ihe face will be that of D. W. Little, assistant state superintendent. Mr. Lit tle will probably hand out something more substantial than a grin, too. When Mr. Little left his home at 321 Clay street Monday he had the pocket book in his coat pocket. When he. after wards made an investigation, soon after he. arrived at the state house, it was miss ing. Just where he lost it he does not know, but he has been hoping that some honest person found it and would return the same.

Councilman Weber says that the council made a mistake Monday night in award ing the pavement contracts.' The contract for paving East Eighth avenue, from Qulncy to Monroe, which was let to-Wall Hanley for $1.17. should have gone to John Ritchie at $1.18. The tellers made a mistake in reading the writing on Wall Hanley's bid, and what they figured out to be $1.17 was really $1.19. The peculiar part of the -controversy is made evident by the way the thing oc curred at the council meeting. When the tellers reported that Wall Hanley had secured the contract for this block, Mr. Ritchie at once protested on the ground that the Wall Hanley bid was $1.19 and his own was $1.18. The committee re ferred to Its figures and said that Mr. Ritchie was mistaken -r that the bid of Wall Hanley was $1.17. Mr. Hanley who was present, came forward and look ed at the original figures on his bid, and said that the committee was right, and that his bid was $1.17. Since then, it appears that he has discovered that he was mistaken, and that the contract should have been given to Mr. Ritchie. It would seem that the contractors knew what each other's bids were to- be better than they did their own. Perhaps this ac counts for the remarkably "Just and equitable" division oi the contracts among the various bidders. LOWER STEEL PRICES. They Are Expected to Reduce the Vol ume of Importations. New York, July 10 Everything seems to conspire to keep the pig iron produc tion below the full capacity of the coun try, says the Iron Age. Considering all the circumstances, the record of June, with an output of 1,475,456 gross tons, was a -good one, and if everything goes well the July production should go con siderably above the 500,000 ton mark. The anthracite coal is still troubling the Lehigh furnaces, and complaints are now becoming more frequent and more urgent that the coke makers who are running are not able to keep their customers regularly supplied. There is some scarcity of pig iron for steel man ufacture but it does not involve any serious shortage, and the great mills have little inconvenience from that source. Interest centers in the foundry trade. and it appears to be the Chicago dis trict which is monopolizing a large bus iness for delivery in 1903. A furnace company there is reported to have sold 5.000 tons for the nrst nair, tnus, wiin previous sales, disposing of its entire product. Further large inquiries, includ ing one for 28,000 tons, are in that mar ket. In the steel market matters are taK- Ing a somewhat different turn. In the central west the summer slackness in the wire and sheet trades is causing a shutting down of mills, which in turn are offering for re-sale both domestic and foreign billets and sheet bars. In addition thereto quite a good aeai oi new capacity of open hearth steel is appearing on the markets. It looks, therefore, as though there may be an early readjustment in the steel trade, which will bring ft Is raw material more in line with the finished products. The first effect of a lowering- in the price probably will be a check in the impor tations. In the heavy finished products the great activity continues unabated. There are reports that some round blocks of English and German rails are being offered at prices which look as though they might leaa to Dusiness. In the plate trade the orders tor me lake steamers have been booked. The shapes also have been ordered. The structural trade continues exceedingly active, and there is no easing in sight. There is a distinctly weak feeling in sheets and in some places dullness in tin plate. The wire trade has been falling off in volume and a number of works have been forced to close down. In iron bars, too, there have been reports of shading, while the tube trade is reported to be quiet. World's Fair Money Withheld. Washington, July 10 The comptroller or the treasury today decided that the salaries and expenses of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition commission could not be paid until the provision of the act appropriating $5,000,000 for the ex position, which requires "as a condition precedent that the directors shall con tract to Close the gates to visitors on Sunday during the whole duration of the fair," is executed.

WORK ON TREATY. Final Negotiations Began on. Subject v of Panama CanaL Washington, July 10. Final negotia tions for the conclusion for the defini- tive treaty between the United States and Colombia which is to authorize the construction of the Panama canal, be gan at the state department, at a meeting between Secretary Hay and Mr. Cromwell, representing the Panama Canal company, and the Colombian le gation here. At the same time, in or der that the settlement of the legal questions connected with the transfer of the canal company's property to this government might run on concurrently with the diplomatic settlements be tween the United States and Colombia, Mr. Cromwell, at Secretary Hay's in stance, laid before the department of justice all the papers in his possession calculated to assist the attorney gen eral in his work of settling the title. After conferring verbally with Mr. Cromwell, Secretary Hay turned over to him a mass of papers which the counsel examined very carefully. While a definite agreement was not reached, it is stated that a distinct advance was made toward the end. Some correspondence must be had witn the Colombian government but this can be done by cable and it is believed that the treaty can be signed within a week. Mr. Concha, the Colombian minister here, has received advices from the government which Mr. Cromwell trans mitted to the state department to tne effect that the Colombian government had decided to appoint a non-partisan commission to rearrange the electoral and provincial district of Colombia and it was believed that the way being clear for new elections, the congress could be elected and assembled within the next four months and the body could pro ceed at once to ratify the canal treaty which is to be concluded here. It is in ferred from this statement that an ar rangement has been reached between the Colombian conservatives and lib erals which will terminate the revolu tion which has now. lasted for more than two years.

There was a meeting of freight claim agents" In Kansas City yesterday, which was attended by W. J. Healy, freight auditor of the Santa Fe and other rep resentatives of western lines. The Kansas City Journal says: After the short business meeting was over, J. S. Tustin of the Missouri Pa cific, W. J. Healy of the Santa Fe, C. Tucker of the Denver Rio Grande and A. J. Mullings, representing both the Colorado Midland and the Colorado Southern, adjourned to a convenient nook in the hotel lobby and indulged in stories and reminiscences. When it was W. J. Healys turn to tell a story he said: "The incident in my experience which will live longer and stand out in bolder relief would be hard to select, but just now I recall one which was sufficiently unusual and funny to remember. One time we carried a car from some point in Iowa, receiving it at Kansas City, which was supposed to contain a ve.y valuable race horse. There was a great race meet billed for Los Angeles some two -weeks after that; and. though it is not on record that any agent or any other- employe of the road asked any questions, it was a generally accepted fact that the animal in the car was a race horse. we was manKeiea uuu splintered up with- all the equipment which goes wltn a nrst class steppei, and only his eyesr feet and ears were loft e-KTxiKed to view. Hewas carried in one of the best cars on the line made for that purpose and was accompanied by a keeper. This keeper, we discover ed later, was at the bottom of the scheme which cost us the price of trans portation and feed for the horse, ana which netted the keeDer a free ride from Kansas City to Los Angeles. All along the road the car containing the animal was given the best of care, and the keeper was allowed bunk privileges in all way cars. Oh, he traveled, nrst class, as freieht trains go, and the officious manner in which he cave or ders to the train crews was all tne more proof, it was thought, that he was transDOrtimr a valuable horse Well, finally the car was landed at Los Angeles, and the bill had been getting bigger and bigger. The 'owner' of the animal ordered the car set alongside of a little stock pen, and the horse was marched down a gangplank. Then the man turned to the agent and asked to be directed to a certain bank, saying that he would cash a draft and pay the freight. He even took the blanket off the horse when the agent was not looking, and allowed the horse to stroll about in the pens for exercise. That was the last our agent saw or heard of the man. He disappeared with the blanket, bridle and other things ot more or less value, and the company had a stack of bones on its hands which would not have brought $2 at auction. After feeding the animal- 21 days it was sold to a farmer for $5." Fell 60 Feet to Death. Kansas City, Kan.. July 10. Fred Gamier, the 2-year-old son of Frank Gamier, a loan agent at 536 Minnesota avenue, fell from a third story window in the New York Life building. Fifth and Minnesota avenue, yesterday after noon. The child fell about 50 feet, and sustained a fracture of the left leg and a severe fracture on the head. Drs. E. J. Lutz and C. W. McLaughlin were called, but death resulted at 10 o'clock last night. In falling, his body struck the iron railing surrounding the build ing and from there bounded info the areaway. Threshing Engine Blew Up. Fredonia, Kan., July 10. The trac tion engine belonging to Anderson Wilson, while threshing at New Albany, eight miles west of here, blew up, scald ing Leo Anderson, blowing him sixty reet away ana throwing a. piece of iron in the opposite direction to the sep arator, striking William Wilson, cut ting his leg completely off, while feed ing the machine. Two horses were killed and several persons slightly in jured. Anderson is fatally hurt and is said to be dying. Wilson is expected to recover. Help For the Strikers. Charleston, W. Va., July 10. The cause of the strikers was strengthened today when the management of the mines were advised by the Chesepeake and Ohio rail road company that it can not haul the coal offered pending a settlement of the strike. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will not transport coal taken out of the mines while the union men are on a strike, and has so notified the com pany. Need More Help.
