The vault which Is to be constructed
for the use of the state treasury, says
the Commonwealth, will be very hard
nut for any burglar to crack. The
north stairway at the west end, lead
ing from the first floor has been remov-
ed. From the basement floor Il solid
mass of rubble masonry u feet long,
II feet wide and II feet high will be
built up to the level of the first floor.
This, covered with tagging S inches
thick, will form the foundation and
floor of the vault. The safe now in the
treasurer's office, which weighs ten
tons, will then be lowered to the floor,
and the walls OF the vault built around
it. The side walls will be built of
brick, twelve inches thick; the front
wall will be built of dressed stone, two
feet thick; the rear wall of brick laid
in cement, with the courses binding.
Over the vault an arch sixteen inches
thick will be sprung. and then the iron
girders and flour laid down over that.
A door of new construction, which
opens by clock work, will afford adj
mittance to the vault from the treas
urer's Office, which will be on the
ground floor, in the room now occu-
pied by the superintendent of insur-
ance. When all is ready, Treasurer
I4appin and Dave Emmert will be
lowered into this room. Stills & Nc
Call, of Topeka, have the contract for
the whole job, including the lowering
of the safe.

Auditor Wilder is hard at work on
his new book, which will undoubtedly
be complete and reliable history of
Kansas.
A telegram says:
Judge Hallett, of the Colorado
courts, on the application of the
Kansas Pacific company, has. grant
ed a temporary injunction restrain
ing the Santa Fe company from
work west of Las Animas. The
case is to be heard on w ednesday,
the 24th, ut Pueblo.
We find the following explanation
in the Commonwealth:
Congress passed special act Civ
ing the right of way from Las Ami
mas, the present terminus of a
branch of the Kansas Pacific, to
a company organized in the interests
of that railroad. Afterwards gen.
eral act was passed giving certain
rights to all companies through
government lands in the Territory.
Under this general act COM
pany was formed in the interests
of the Santa Fe Company,
to build a road from Granada,
the present terminus of the latter
road, to Pueblo. Las Animas is
about half way between Granada
and Pueblo, and the Sauta Fe Com
pany have no opposition to that
point. From there both companies
claim the right of way. There is
one point on the line where the Ar
kansas Valley is only wide enough
for track and that point has been
graded and tied by the Kansas Pa
cilic ComDany.

The last edition of RowelFs

failure of over 1000 newspapers in
this country during the pas year,
the loss to publishers, Subscribers
and advertisers amounting to over
$S,000,000, the Republic, of New
York alone losing half million.
Among those who went into the
newspaper business and lost heavily
thereby were 275 merchants and add
venturers, 2l5 school teachers, 81
lawyers, 4 blacksmiths, 33 plasterers,
10 farmers. 200 frantics of various
classes afflicted with literary LESSONS,
100 ambitious but visionary young

A bridge is to be built over the
Firth of Forth, Scotland, which will
be the largest in the world. The
height will be $50 feet, and the num-

feet, or nearly one-third of mile,
in width, and the smaller spans $50
feet. 1t will cost about S10,000,000.
How to make glass that is not
brittle, recently discovered for the

time when Tiberious was Roman

Tiberius feared the invention would

inventor was the sole depository of
the secret, he caused him to be de-
capitated.
