nature. Perhaps it is something in the
nature of sedlitz powder" was sug-
gested.
Mr. Ralph said the working of sediltz
was somewhat similar to the Grant Broth
ers' process. He said by forcing their
chemicals into any sunken object, which
before it was damaged by having holes
stove into it, would float, it could be
kept aAoat by continuing to force the

proven by the fact that IN the public
experiments made here, box, filled with
auger holes and filled vita gravel, was
raised by attaching a hose to its bottom
and pumping into it the chemicals, the
exact nature of which is aot yet made
public. 1t is expected that Che chemicals
will force out the water inzthe hull Of a
boat and replace it with carhonic acid gas,
thus causing it to float. Wien it floats,
the apparatus, generating the agency
which caused it to rise to the surface, is to
be placed aboard and the damaged vessel

owner of the yacht Halcyon, dropped in
on Special Agent Evans of the treasury
department yesterday to assure the gov
eminent that his yacht is engaged in reg

smuggling business, as has been stated.
Mr.. Evans listened very politely. but it is
understood that he proposes to watch the
Halcyon all the same and still wishes he
had good swift cutter to overhaul her
with.
WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 3O.--The treas
ury department is very much exercised
over the fact that it has no revenue cutter
in Oregon waters to capture the Halcyon.
1t is thought that she will put into the Co
lumbia river and land her cargo. The
treasury force is entirely inadequate to
cope with the situation. There is only
one revenue cutter on the Pacific coast,
the Wolcott, and she is on Puget sound.

BATHER DROWNED AT RENTON.

and Loses His Life.

and Loses HIS Life.
Coroner Horton went to Renton yester-
day and investigated the death of Robert
Niederberger, who was drowned in Black
river at the Renton boat house Monday
evening. The facts of the case as learned
and related by the coroner are as follows:
eiRobert Niederberger, Peter Olsen and Barney
Deneins went to the river TO battle. Olsen was
the only one who could SWIM and be could not
stay on top Of the water for more than a mo-
ment, or, as he expressed it, "two strokes" He
undrcssed FIRST and jumped into the water. He
came out minute later, aud, as he did 80,
heard sp.ashing close by boat which
was tied at the landing. When he got
the water out of his eyes he saw
that it was made by Niederberger. The fellow
evidently got ratified, for he let go the boat and
sanK. Deneins, who was washing at the rivers
edge, was some distance away and did not know
what had happened Until Olsen gave the alarm
The body was recovered in about eight feet OF
water and near where 1t went down.
Coroner Horton considered the death
purely accidental, and decided not to hold
an inquest.
Niederberger was about 81 years old, and
has been in this country fourteen months.
He is a native of Switzerland and credited
with having q record as wrestler, al
though he had no medals. For the last
three months he has been milking cows
for Hall Galloway, and before entering
their employ was in Orillia His friends
say he was industrious and economical. 1t
is believed that he has about $50 put away.
but so far the search for 1t has been unsuc-
cessiul.
Yesterday afternoon the body was taken
to Bonney & Stewards and prepared for
burial, the expenses of which will be borne
by his friends. The services will be held
this afternoon at 3 80 O'Clock at the church
of Our Lady of Good Help, interment at
Calvary cemetery

FAIR PARAMOUNT.

Very few people, even of our own city.
have any idea of the real magnitude and
substantial character of the Paramount
college building, and which is now being
plastered and finished on the inside. There
it has stood for four years in full sight OF
all the city, complete outwardly, its front
affording the least attractive aspect, but
still great building almost fre-proof In
its composition of st. Louis pressed brick,
Warrensburg granite, and of steel and
iron and slate, occupying an elevation at
fording the widest prospect and falrest
horizon with the least obstruction
probably to be found in the
entire state. From the observatory
in the front tower, portions of SIX counties
can be seen on clear day. The farms and
great grain fields, thousands of them, for
thirty miles to the west, twenty to twenty
five miles south, fifteen miles north, and
as meny miles east, lay spread out, defined
by hedges and by broad highways, by
orchards and homes, through which can
be seen the courses and waters of four
rivers. This magnificent building was
once offered to the state of Kansas, includ-
ing the valuable grounds. But the water
system has been extended to the building
and carpenters and plasterers are at work
on the inside, getting it ready for the
September opening. But of the magni
| tude of the building we started out t.
speak. The auditorium is sixty
feet square, exclusive of th'
gage which is in a half-dome recess, the
ceiling of the room being from thirty &c
| forty feet high. The halls are all wide
the recitation and class rooms all yer.
large and all the inside partitions and
walls are of solid masonry. The basemen
which is more than half above ground
must contain from four to six THOUSAND
floor space with fourteen feet ceilings.
1t is "a building that will stand longe
and show fewer effects of time than AM
building in the city, the City Hall except
ed. 1t is grand building occupying a
grand site and it ought TO become as ia
nous as it is attractive. 1t is said tina
that the school TO be opened there in Sep
TENDER is to be a mixed school. That vii
probebly Tx its character aud we are. 70
one, sorry of the change. 1t Is just tn
location for a woman'S college in whlc

HERMAN & HESS,

been said in the past about the liberal pre-
miums offered for agricultural products
that we may at this time simply mention
the fact that word has been received from
enough persons already to make the aver
age county fair management happy. ms
year this department will be specially as
from it will be chosen that which Is to
represent southern Kansas at the worlds
fair.
During the past week, several prominent
fruit growers have been talking of the ad-
visibility of forming a fruit growers assoc
citation in this part of the state. The OBJ
ject is one possessing so much merit, that
we would suggest that such an organlza-
ton be effected and the week of the fair
the time for its completion. The secretary
of the Fair association, Is willing that his
Office should be used for the purpose, and
extends an invitation to all fruit raisers
and farmers generally to make his office
their Headquarters while in the city.
The word received from the horsemen il,
that they will be here in force. In looking
over the races at some of the eastern
points, Secretary McNair says, he is more
firmly convinced than ever that this years
racing programme will be the finest in the
, west. Many of the horses entered in the
stake races here, have been making
very fast time and as this track seems to
suit all gaits, he expects to see the west
ern record hung out the occupants of the
| grand stand More good horses will be
here than has ever been seen at any one
track in the west, and they will represent
all parts of the country, from New York
| to Arizona.
Now that the rain has cheered every one,
. let all who can take hold and boom the
fair. There is no better agency to adver-
tise Southern Kansas than the fair and il
all will induce a cousin or brother OIL
friend to come to the 1892 fair they will be
able to see the fats of this land and 60
| away to come again. Happiness Is not
prescribed, but enjoyed, and its source is
mainly in making the most out of oppor.
tunities. Then, as lost opportunities never
return, how strong is our duty to have
our friends attend the fair this year,
catch the inspiration, and profit by the
stimulating and cheering influences that
will abound on every hand.

HE WASN'T THERE.

It is a we'll known axiom IN natural
philosophy that no one body or matter can
be in two places at the same time. One OF
the evening papers had A. B. Chandler in
a fight with woman at the Union depot
Friday evening in which the woman
knocked him off truck and squeezed him
with all her 200 pounds of avoirdupols
against the platform. Mr.. Chandler called
to the EAGLE Office last night TO say the
entire story was made out of whole cloth.
as he was in his book store during the en-
tire evening and was at no time within a
half mile of the Union depot. Ii there
really was fight at the depot it Is very
evident that the heavy woman pummeled
the wrong man.
