Not In the AUGMENTATION

ToPEKA,. July 1R-The State university
is in trouble. The treasurer of that Institu-
ton presented to the auditor for his approval
a warrant for S1,1T2.s6 for work on the
foundation of the building.
State Auditor G. NJ. Hoyey refused to
audit the account, because there was no spe-
clhc appropriation made by the Legislature
for the purpose named in the warrant.
He submitted the matter to the attorney
general, who sustained his position in q
written opinion in which he says that though
SO, O0o. was appropriated by the last legisla-
ttire for the current EXPENSES of the uniSer-
sitY no part of IL can be used for any other
purpose and that the building of founda-
ton does not properly come under the mean
ing of the term, current expenses"
This may be the source of a great deal of
trouble to the state university, as there are
many other bills which will come under the
provisions of the law if the attorney general
opinion lie sustained.
The treasurer said that he would consult
his lawyer and mandamus case will prob
ably be instituted at once against the state
auditor and state treasurer.

KANSAS CITY, No. July 20.-Sevsral re-
liable Cherokees report that large mum Der
of cattle have died from peculiar disease
which is believed to be Texas fever. The
editor of the Cherokee Telephone of Table
quah also states that Texas fever prevails in
the southern portion of the strip.
The cattlsmen deny these statements, say
ing that they made for political effect SO
as to injure Chief Mayes, who is responsible
for bringing the Texas cattle into the strip.
From other reliable sources, however, it is
ascertained that a great many cattle have
died, and as they are all natives, the lndica-
tiOns are that it is Texas fever.

ONE of the novelties at the st. Pan

was a sausage machine. driven by cleo
tric motor. In conjunction with this
machine it has been proposed to en-
ploy an electric heating attachment,
whereby the savory dish can be de-

purchaser. 1t begins to look as if the

A CITIZEN of Stamford, Conn, has
been driven insane by his young lady
neighbor practieing on the piano. and
his mania took a very queer form.
When it seized him he went to all the
piano dealers in town and ordered them
to sen1 costly instruments to the young
lady's house at intervals of half an hour.
AS he was rich his odd orders were
complied with, and the young woman,
despite her objections, had ten instru-
ments blocking the street in front of her
house, besides two in the parlor ana
one in the hall. Finally the mailman
was captured and the pianos returned,

No MORE pitiful story has been told
In the papers than that of the two little
girls lost in the sand hills of Western
Nebraska. It is q terrible thing to
think of a child lost in the city and
scores of mothers have had the
most painful experiences over the few
hours absence of little children wander
ing half crazed and helpless about the
city. The dangers that beset children
In certain city districts are very great,
and the alarm Of parents is always ex-
eusable, but with what painful tender
ness will the hearts of mothers and
fathers turn to the two little wanderers
in the almost desert region of q newly
settled country? Who can picture the
snfferings of little Swear old girl who
in the wild wanderings of five or six
days made the distance of seventy-f1ve
miles. The stoutest men, those most
resOurceful when lost under such eondi-
tons, suffer greatly in mind and body,
and what must have been the sufferings
of this little one, wandering for days
where there was little to sustain life,
and where the solitude was as great as
though the child had been in the middle
of the great desert? Much Is occasion
ally said of the fortitude and the endur-
ence of the Indian children subjected to
privation and danger, but here is a case
of endurance and fortitude on the part
of q white child quite as remarkable as
anything related of Indian children.
