The Story that Kansas Farmers Are
Storing Their Grain Ouestioned

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 1O-LittIe be-
lief is given the story from Kansas
City that the Kansas State Farmers
alliance would store the greater part of
the Kansas wheat crop in the elevators
of several large cities, including Balti-
more. 1t was stated at the Office of the
Farmers Alliance Journal that the
alliance has not ordered the farmers to
hold back their wheat from the general
market, and the telegram probably
emanated from wheat spectators.
There are in the harbor of Baltimore
to-day twenty steamships to be loaded
with grain from the elevators.

counter

BOONE, Iowa, Aug. 11.-Terpln and
Pitts, the two heavyweight prize fighters
VINO had a four-round battle at Boone
two weeks ago, in which Terpin was sue.
cessful, had another fight shortly after
daylight this morning in ring about a
mile and half from Carroll
Iowa: The fight was for $500
a side and all gate receipts. 1t was
bloody from start to finish. There were
several Enock-downs for each man. In
the ninth round Terpin got in blow
from which Pitts failed to recover in the
requisite ten seconds. Pitts was rather
badly punished, one eye being entirely
closed and his face otherwise badly
bruised.
During the progress of the fight Ter
pins hacker, Prof. Long, got ex-
cited and went over to the other man s
corner waving a roll of bills and
making haunting remarks about Pitts
and his hacker, Jones. The latter struck
Long a blow with his bare fist, knocking
him down and cutting his cheek open to
the bone The prize fight meanwhile
being delayed, bystanders interfered and
the fight which was down on the bills was
continued. After Pitts had been
knocked out Jones remarked that
he could whip Terpin if his
man could not Terpin offered to
bet $50 that he could knock him out in
four rounds. Jones at once began strip
ng, but the crowd interfered and peace
was declared. Pitts is now in Boone,
where his injuries are now being attended
to. The Knockout blow was upon his
jugular and he lay insensible for several
minutes, causing considerable uneasiness
among the spectators, who thought he was

Racine Show Bills Decorated During

RACINE, Aug. Ibid the ministers
paint dresses on those pictures of ballet
girls?
This is the question that is stirring up
Racine.
For two or three days there have
been on the bill boards around town
posters that made the weather two or
three degrees warmer. A local paper says
they were 'lewd and not fit to be seen. -
The case might have furnished work for
the new law and order league, but the
league is now everlastingly too late.
Some one armed with big pots of red
and blue paint has taken advantage of
nights shelter and painted boomers
and flowing skirts on all the pictures.
The affair has created tremendous
sensation, some accusing the local
ministers of doing the painting, and
Others laying it to the agents of the
show.

BALOONIST KILLED.
His Trapeze Becomes Entangled in Tele-

LONDON, Aug. 10.-At Leeds today, a
balloonist named Higgins was killed and
Miss Dewey, who accompanied him in the
ascension narrowly escaped death. The
couple intended to give trapeze perform
ance while ascending and afterwards de-
scend by means of a parachute. In the as
cension the balloon was caught by cur.
rent of air and blew side ways striking
the telegraph poles. The couple were sit
ting on the bar which began to sway in a
frightful manner Miss Dewey, thinking
it safer to drop from the bar before being
thrown therefrom, lowered herself by her
hands and dropped, landing on the ground
unhurt. Released from her weight the
balloon shot upward, and Higgins, getting
entangled in the telegraph wires, was
swept off the bar and fell, striking on his
back and receiving injuries which resulted
fatally in a few minutes.

A FEMALE STANLEY,
Adventures of a Woman to Carry Gut
Her Husbands Bequest.

The most adventurous of woman
travellers, who is known to the reading
public as Miss Isabella Bird and to her
friends as Mrs. Bishop, has just re-
turned to England after safely accom-
plishing a most difficult and dangerous
journey, record of which will shortly
be published. The immediate object
OF the journey was to carry out a be-
quest OF her late husband Edinburg
gentleman-who left funds for the es-
Enlistment of hospital in one of the
remote corners of the globe. The
place was not specified, and Mr.. Bish-
ops object was to secure the establish
ment of a hospital in one of the outly-
ing parts of civilization, where the
need for such an institution would be
most severely felt.
Cashmere was the locality selected
by the widow, and there Mrs. Bishop
has succeeded in carrying out her hus-
bands wishes. But, her mission &C
complished. she was not content to re-
turn home by the prosaic way of India.
Ihibit lay to close at hand for the
temptation to be resisted. Lhassa Is,
perhaps, the one spot on the earth's
surface which most excites the curl
osity of the adventurous spirits who
are ever on the search for some new
realm to conquer. Russians and Eng
glish have of late years made many
unsuccessful attempts to penetrate the
mystery of that strange town, which is
so religiously guarded againt foreign
intrusion. The novelty and difficulty
OF the attempt fascinated Mrs. Bishop,
and she set out for Thibet. But CD
the borders a great and insuperable
difficulty presented itself. She was
told that no obstacle would be placed
in the way of her journey, but that the
chief official of every village where she
stayed would inevitably lose his head,
and every district that received her
would be heavily fined for doing so.
The prospect was not inviting,
and reluctantly Mrs. Bishop decided
that she had no right to bring down
such severe punishment on the heads
of her hosts. She accordingly turned
her steps southwestward, and passed
through Belochistan to Persia and
Armenia. On her way she met with
many adventures and explored the
source of the Karun river. Probably
she is the first European in modern
times who has visited the sources of
this river, and the scenery she de-
scribes as magnificent in the extreme.
