Hon ]. N Ives. Attorney General. Topeka, Kan:
MY DEAR Sm:-On August 81, 1891,
after some prior correspondence upon
the subject. I wrote to Colonel Il. @.
Gross, president of the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas Railroad company, enclosing
copy of your opinion and advising him
that unless his company should es-
tablish its general offices within this
state, in compliance with the provisions
Of our statute, on or before September
20. 1891, an action would be commenced
to enforce the penalty provided by the
statute for it's violation. On the day last
mentioned I was advised, unofhcially,
however, that the executive committee
of the company in New York had. several
days prior thereto, ordered the general
Offices of the company removed to Par
sons, in this state. and that the compa
ny had secured accommodations and
had actually established its general Of
fees here. supposed, of course, that
this action was taken on the part OF the
company in good faith, and in recogni-
tion of the obligation it was under to
obey the laws of the state to which it
owes its corporate existence and prime
allegiance, but from subsequent events
this does not seem to be the case. l am
now advised that the buildings that
were rented by the company for its
general offices remain vacant; that
none of the officers named in the statute,
and in fact no officer or employe OF the
company, occupy these rooms or tran
sact any business there; and that, in
fact, the general offices of the company
are maintained, and the business per-
tanning thereto transacted outside OF
this state, substantially as heretofore.
If this is true, the situation is such as
to demand prompt and vigorous action
on the part of this state.
Will you kindly look into the matter,
report to me the result of your investi-
cations, and. if you find that the com
pany is still violating the laws of the
state, commence. an action at once in
the name of the state to annul the char
-er of the company.
I especially desire that this matter
shall not be delayed, and hope that
you can so arrange your business as to
give it your immediate personal at
tention.
Yours very truly,
LYMAN q. HUMPHREY.

According to Pliny, fire was a long
time unknown to some of the ancient
Egyptian tribes, and when a celebrated
astronomer made them acquainted
with that element and how to produce
it they were wild with delight. The
Persians, Phenicians, Greeks, and
several other nations acknowledge that
their ancestors were once without the
comforts which fire bestows; the
Chinese confess the same of their pro-
genitors. Pompanion, Mole, Plutarch,
and other ancient writers speak of ma
tions which, at the time when they
wrote, knew not the use of fire, or had
Just recently learned it. The inhabit-
ants of the Marion Islands, which were
discovered in 1851, had no idea of fire
or its uses. Their astonishment knew
no bounds when they saw it applied to
wood; most of them. taking it to
be some kind of an animal which the
sailors had brought with them, and
which must be fed on wood.

Atohison letter: G. G. Thongs, a
merchant of Muscotah, Atchison coun-

for pension. Much to his surprise
he was informed by the examining
board that he had been drawing a pen
sion of SIS month for thirteen years.
Having never applied for pension or
received a cent. this announcement
startled him. Investigation proved
that man giving his name as G. G.
Thomas, and belonging to The same
company to which the real Thomas be-
longed had been receiving the money.
His wounds we're the same as those of
the real Thomas. Further investigation
Is being made and promises to develop

Wichita Eagle: A tremendous rain,
thunder and lightning storm visited the
city, exceeding anything of the kind
that has occurred in tins part of the
country for several months. The water
came pouring down in torrents until
the streets looked like that many canals.
The cutters and manholes were entire
ly unable to carry away all the water
that fell, and in many places it over
spread the sidewalks. Great and serious
damage must have been done elsewhere.
The lightning danced in the heavens
with wild fury and shot zig-zag fashion
across the dark vault in a way that
would inspire the stoutest heart with
terror. The elements were truly in
wild commotion, they were certainly
too wild for comfort. The thunder was
loud, and the force it carried with it
was so great as to shake the most sub
stantial building. 1t was a dreadful
storm.

Then he bent a long and sinister
glance in every direction around him,

men happened to have on his person.

OIL of Lennon aIade OF Turpentins.

There is reason to believe that
great many cheap and nasty essences
are finding their way into this country
this season. We suppose that the
competition which in many places ex-
lists among mineral water makers, to-
gether with an unfortunate tendency
in certain quarters to keep up the old
fashioned profits at the expense of
quality, has created q demand for
cheap essences. Now there is cheap
ness and cheapness; but the kind of
cheapness which we would warn our
subsc ibers against is that which is
produced either by dilution or by the
addition of foreign substances, which
may or may not be harmful, but which
certainly have no business to be en-
ployed. 1t may come as a surprise to
some that essential oil of lemon is be-
ing adulterated with oil of turpentine
1t has been met with in our analytical
department very skillfully blended with
the genuine oil of lemon. In general
appearance the oil of lemon is scarcely
affected by the addition of this adu1-
terant, but an educated palate will
generally detect something wrong"
without being able to suggest what
that something is. Sophistication may
be suspected by the general appear
ance, flavor, ETC., of the essence if the
buyer is experienced; but if there is
any doubt it would be advisable before
laying in large stocks, and before risk
ing the character of ones mineral
water by using a raw material of
doubtful purity, to submit the essence
to chemical examination. London

A Curious Story.

A curious story is told as to how the
Rothsehilds supported Carafa, the
composer. The latter was far from
rich. His principal income was de-
rived from a snuff And this was
the way of it: The snuff box was given
to the author of LA Prison d'Edim-
bourgh," about thirty years ago. by
Baron James de Rothschild, as a token
of esteem. Carafa sold it, twenty-fou1
hours later, for seventy-five napoleons
to the same jeweler from whom it had
been bought. This became known to
Rothschild, who gave it again to the
musician in the following year. The
next day it returned to the jewelers..
This traffic continued till the death OF
the banker, and longer still, for his
sons kept up the tradition, to the great
satisfaction of Carafa.

The duty of the first lieutenant"
aboard one of the big cruisers of the
new navy is acknowledged to be the
hardest in the service. The officer
known as first lieutenant" is the line
officer standing next in rank to the
commanding officer of the ship. He IS
the chief of staff, the mouthpieee of the
captain, and, as he is otherwise known,
the executive officer. The first leu
tenant of such vessels as the Phila-
delphia, Chicago, San Francisco and
Charleston is a lieutenant commander.
Aboard the Yorktown, Petrol and Ben
nington the ''first lieutenant" is lieu
tenant.
Every detail in the ships manage
ment must be perfectly familiar to the
'tfirst lieutenant, and where the crew
numbers 400 or 500, the duty often taxes
him to the limit of his endurance. The
new ships require constant alterations
and shifting of fitting, all unknown
aboard the old type of craft. This
work devolves on the first lieutenant"
When all hands are called on deck, the
first lieutenant" takes the bridge and
delivers the orders.
The captain of the vessel Will at such
time stand by his side, and if he has

months endeavors have been made to
