KANSAS RAILROADS.

The citizens of western Kansas ars
very much interested in a rumor thai
has been very generally circulated out
there to the effect that the Rock Island
road was going to purchase the Salina,
Lincoln & Oakley branch of 200 miles
in length from the Union Pacific. A
reporter called upon NJ. A. Low, general
attorney for the Rock Island, to INQUIRE
the truth or falsity of the statement. He
said most unhesitatingly that no such
deal was under consideration, and it had
never even been thought of by the Rock
Island.
The directors of the Santa Fe EN-
ployes' Hospital fund, A. A. Robinson,
George R. Peck, DIR. Hogeboom, Charles
West and w. II. Hamilton, met in Mr.
Robinson's rooms for the purpose Of
discussing the advisability of investing
the surplus fund of 100000 in one OF
more hospitals. Employees in the vicin.
ity Of Topeka had presented petition
asking for one to be located in that city
and 1000 employees from the part of tn,
Santa Fe west of Emporia presented
their petition asking for one to be 10
Gated at Newton. The citizens of New
ton also offered to donate a site for tn,
hospital, and the directors virtually de
cided to accept the offer of the citizen
of Newton and heed the wishes of tn
employees of that section of the SAINT
Fe. In all probability the surplus funC
will be expended in building hospital
at Newton and Topeka.

oERMANY's DANGEROUS GUN.
A Weapon That Does More Execution at
the Breaeh than at the AIuzzIe.

a Weapon That Does More Execution at
the Breach than at the AIuzzle.
The new German gun that was re-
Gently tested at PloZk, in the prov
ince Of Posen, does not promise to be
much of a success, says the New York
Herald. According to reports from
Germany several accidents occurred
while it was being fired and most
soldiers dread to approach it.
The first day of the trial, it ap-
pears, five accidents occurred, one of
which resulted in the death of a sol
dier, who leaves four little children
to mourn his loss. The accidents
were caused either by the bursting or
the faulty working of the gun, due
tSNits inability to resist the terrible
force of the new powder. How great
this force is may be inferred from the
fact that after some shots have been
fired the breech usually becomes de-
tached and is hurled backward with
such violence that it severely wounds
the gunner and the men standing near
him.
The wounds are almost always
serious. On this occasion one man
was killed, nine gunners lost the
fingers of their right hands and five
others were dangerously wounded in
the shoulders and fOrearmS. The
mortal wound was caused by the frag-
men of the breech, which entered
the right eye and penetrated to the
brain.
These grewsome sights naturally
terrified the surviving gunners. As
for the officers they kept at a safe
distance, especially after it was dis.
covered that four lieutenants of the
reserves had been dangerously wound
ed by fragments of the breech.
On the second day Of the trial nine
teen soldiers were so seriously wound
ed that their prompt removal to &
hospital became necessary.
The new gun, in fact, proved q
complete failure. Terrified as they
were, the gunners could not take a
proper aim, and the balls seldom
reached the target. In one instance
indeed, they went entirely wide of
the mark and killed an unfortunate
! peasant in a neighbOring Village
When the villagers heard of this acct
dent they became terribly exasperated
and assumed so hostile an attitude
that the officer in command of the
gunners did not dare to continue the
exercises. On the following day two
orders were sent from Berlin, one in
! structing officers to make no more
experiments with the new gun, anC
| another ordering that no more such
! guns be manufactured for the German
army

STOCK AND FARM.

Stockton News: Probably no spring
in the history of Rocks county has wit
messed SO many fruit trees set out as
this. The only trouble has been to get
fruit trees fast enough.
Gypsum Advocate: W. E. Tinker
says his wheat is showing up well, oats
fairly, and he is half done planting
corn. He has sown several acres to
alfalfa. All his fruit trees are in bloom.
Caldwell News: The amount of fruit
trees set out this spring has been great
er than any preceding year. The sup
ply at the nurseries gave out and many
who desired to plant trees failed to get
them. The wet spring has been very
favorable to tree planting.
Ashland Journal: Hundreds of acres
of sod were broken last year in this
county by the eastern holders of mort
cages. The same is being done this
year. and we notice that this is true in
Con.anche county. The land is spring
cropped and sowed to wheat in the fall.
Cedar Vale Star: Sylvester Fitch
left Elgin with an outfit to meet $500
head of cattle at Tololo, bound for pas
ture. -Four thousand head were already
in, 600 were expected Tuesday, and
5000 steers and speyed heifers from the
Laurel Leaf ranch to start about May 1,
will give him over $4,000 to look after
this season, and he will be equal to the
task.
Dighton letter: The steam plows are
running nicely. One of them is kept
running near town. These plows are
not of the J. I. Case manufacture and
Price patent. They are traction engines,
same as used for threshing, with gang
plows, and while they do not break as
many acres per DAY as the Price pillow,
yet the work is done very nicely and al
slight expense. Four and five plows
with 14-inch cut are pulled by these
engines with ease. Everyone seems well
pleased with them.

A few moments later Paxton hurried
from his office. He had resolved to try
q ruse.
In very brief space OF time he stood
before Judith Kredge.
The woman had opened the door at his
ring, and she seemed frightened at his
appearance.
Paxton clutched her arm and said,
sternly:
i've found you out, and he produced
a pair OF handouts, as he added: Tell
me what you have done with Marion
Oakburn, or I'll march you to prison.
Judith Kredge trembled from head to
foot, and she involuntarily made an
effort TO free herself from the detective s
grasp.
The attempt was useless.

A WOMAN calling herself the Rev.
Anna II. Shaw has written some
severe things against the people Of
South Dakota because they voted
against female suffrage. The Scandi-
navians voted against it, the reason,
in Miss Shaw's opinion, being ~be-
cause their religion teaches subser-
Yiency OF woman to man. They were
conscientious in what they did, she
adds, -and charitable view of their
case cOnstrains me to say that, were
1t not for the trammels of religion,
we could count upon the support Of
these people" The ScandinaVians
are Lutherans, but almost every
church teaches the subserviency of
woman TO man. Miss Shaw viii
have hard road TO travel in other
States besides Dakota.

ground is to dry it, pulverize it and put
it up In bags. Then by a simple mix
ture with water it forms hard cement
capable of a very good polish. Mixed
also with sand it forms an exceedingly
strong plaster. 1t is used in all places
where stucco work and staff are used,
and it is said to be much more durable.
1t has already been used on all the
Worlds fair buildings so far erected.
and its excellent qualities have almost
completely changed many of the plans
of buildings. Between 500 and 500
carloads of the cement is already con-
tracted, to be delivered on the Worlds
fair grounds. 1t will be used to con-
siderable extent in the Kansas building.

Electric Wire Ablaze.

Topeka Capital.
When the storm was at its height,
the city engineer came rushing into the
fire marshal's Office saying that the
electric wire on the building next door
was on fire
Chief Wilmarth and some of his men
went out through a window in the en-
gineer's Office which led to the roof of
Payne & Co.'S shoe store. At the side
of the skylight on the one story build
ing in the rear, a bright blue fame was
leaping upward foot or more in length,
from point where an electric wire was
fastened.
The marshal secured a broom and
brushed the fire out, but it blazed forth
with renewed Vigor a moment or two
afterwards. With the aid OF a pick
which was handed him the chief man
aged to pry of the cleat which held the
wire to the building. During all this
time the rain was pouring down in tor
rents and mammoth hailstOnes were
pelting the chief as he worked there in
his shirt sleeyes

Kansas City, Mo, journal: Professor
Lucien I. Blake, of the Kansas state
university, who has just completed his
course of lectures in electricity before
the Kansas City Society of University
Extension, has been Petitioned by 132
persons to repeat the course this fall.
He has received an urgent and very ad-
vantageous offer from the University CT
California, Offering him 81, 900 more per
year than he had previously been get
ting at Lawrence. The regents of the
Kansas university, however, have raised
his salary $500. but whether this will
keep him remains to be seen. Professor
Blake has been appointed member Of
the electricians congress, which meets
at the worlds fair, and to which will be
referred the electrical problems in con
nection with the great exposition. This
congress will be composed of forty Of
the most eminent electricians of the
world. Such men as Sir William Thomp-
son, Helmholz and others of like rank
will represent, and that Professor Blake
hould be appointed one of what might
be called the 'forty immortals," is a
rare compliment and a convincing testi-
monial to his standing in the electrical
world. He desires to remain in Kansas
SO as to be nearer the fair by 1000 or
SO of miles

They have a medicine that cures
Catarrh, not for a time, but for all

curing the most hopeless cases.
They know that in your case there's
every chance of success, almost no
chance of failure.
Wouldn't any one take such a

The only question is-are you
willing to make the test, if the
makers are willing to take the
risk?
If SO, the rest is easy. You pay

The lawyer paused.

The lawyer paused.
John Sand, a clerk at Pratt Il
Weeks, really was my informant about
Weeks proposed visit TO my aunt. How
did you find that out?" cried Stuart, in
surprise.
THE young man told me himself. He
has obtained better situation, and left
Pratt & Weeks. In short, John Sand
has become my own clerk, replied the
lawyer. In support of your story, 1
shall produce Sand as a witness at the
trial"
And you think will tell the deliber-
ate falsehood, cunning as it is, which
you have concocted in my behalf. No,
sir, 1 will not lie; my innocence must be
established without n resort to such a
ruse,' said Stuart, resOlutely.
You are mad. You must be guided
by me, or you will be convicted of this
terrible crime, said the attorney,
sternly.
MY innocence must be proved with
out falsehOod and deception, reiterated
Stuart
At that moment a turnkey opened
the door of the cell, and admitted Edna
Garrison.
Without, she had heard the converse
ton which had just passed between
Stuart and the lawyer.
Edna was delighted with the plausible
and ingenious defense invented by the
lawyer, and hope sprang up in her heart
as she listened.
Stuart's positive refusal to save him
self, or to attempt to do so, by means OF
the story proposed by his attorney,
dashed all of Edna's hopes to the ground.
But she was determined that Stuart
should yield. He was innocent, and she
believed that any means should be re-
sorted TO to prove him so.
Yes; he must tell the lawyers story,
said Edna, mentally. And then at d
signal from her the turnkey admitted
her TO the cell.
Stuart was surprised at Edna's sudden
entrance, and one glance at her pale
and anxious face assured him that she
had heard all of the conversation which
had just taken place between himself
and the attorney.
You here, Ednai" he cried, taking heI
hand.
Yes. And have been listener al

break my heart? You must consent Il
tell the story your attorney has pro
posed, said Edna.
But yet, despite her entreaties, Stuar
would not yield at first.
Edna had resolved to conquer his OBJ
jeetions, and she persisted.
She fell at his feet and in tears be-
sought him to save himself for her sake
If you refuse you do not love me
and l shall diet" she cried wildly, car.
ried away by emotion and excitement.
Stuart was conquered by the tears o.
the woman he loved.
He folded her in his arms, and while
his noble face paled, he said at last:
4 consent. 1 will tell the story in
vented for me by our good friend, Mr.
SaybrOok."
Such was the attorneys name.
Edna believed that her victory woulC
save Stuart, and she reiOiced accord
ingly.
SaybroOk was delighted.
