Then Climbs Out.
WICHITA, Aug. 2O.-A perfectly reli-
able but rather peculiar story comes
down from the north part of the county.
Dir. Robinson, prosperous farmer who
lives fourteen miles north Of Wichita,
has little 5-year-oId boy While play
ing this little boy fell into a we'll forty
feet deep and containing six feet of
water. His mother heard his cries, APP
parently at a distance. and the more she
searched about the premises the more
distant his calls appeared She did not
for moment think Of the we'll When
she was almost frantic she saw the lad
coming out of the well. The plucky
little lad, after causing cOmmOtiOn with
the sand IN the bottom of the well, came
to the surface of the water and grabbing
hold Of the rough masonry he climbed to
the top a little frightened but still deter
mined to stay with this world.

A FINANCIAL PANIC FEARED.
Capitalists Expect to Make Large Profits
by "A Panic.


SAN Francisco, Aug. 21.-A panic is
feared in Japanese financial circles on
account of the Corean imbrOgolio say the
Japanese papers. The banks have sus-
pended their loans, while deposits are
being fast Withdrawn. Capitalists are
unwilling to invest, as they expect to
have an opportunity of making large
profits through the panic. The money
market is now very stiff. This condition
is due to the belief that the present war
will be far greater and more expensive
than the Satsuma rebellion.
Already popular subscriptions have
been opened in Japan to raise money for
the support of troops in Corea and also
to provide for the families of reserve
soldiers who have been called into active
service. In mauy cases these families
are left destitute, as the money supply
has stopped About $4,000, 900 had been
donated for this purpose prior to August
I. and money was coming in quite rap

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Editor Paul
Dana, the eldest SON Of Charles "A. Dana.

lived there for twenty years, he says.
Every day he has come in on the same
ferryboat. All these years he has bought
communication tickets. On the last one of

tieth ride. Newsboys have been buying
tickets by the dollars worth and selling
them outside, making 1 cent on every
transaction. To end this practice, Al
new rule has been made that the gate
that unless the coupon ticket is AT the
end Of the strip the ticket is no good.
Mr.. Dana dropped his ticket into the
box at the james Slip ferry Friday after
noon. Special Policeman Drawl said the
ticket was not good. Mr.. Dana wanted
to catch his train and had no time To
spend in conversation with the special
policeman. Drawl detained Mr.. Dana
by holding on to his coat collar. There
npon Mr.. Dana smacked DrawPs face.
Then Policeman Sullivan was called ia
and the ex-president OF the park board
was marched of 10 the Oak Street sta
ton, where his pedigree was taken.

board was strictly of an advisory char
acter. and the football management in
fering from this that everything would
be all right if conducted within proper
bounds has begun to get things in shape
for first class season. Satisfactory ar
rangements have been made with the
Denver Athletic club for a game there
and Doane college Of Nebraska has been
secured for a date at Baldwin. 1t is
probable that Lieutenant Smith will be

A Small Fire.

Mr.. Lee A. Owens wood house,
at let's Station, was burned Tues
day night. 1t was certainly the
work Of an incendiary. as there
was no way for it to have caught
fire, being some little distance
from his dwelling and there had
been no light or fire about it for
some time. 1t seems that some
seoundrel has spite at Mr.. Owen
and is trying to burn him out.
Several years ago his residence
was burned. about year ago his
stable was also destroyed by FIRE,
and now his clubhouse. Mr.. Owen
is away from home, being in
Washington City, and only his
wife and servants were on the
place. The loss on the building
is about fifty dollars.
