GEO. TAUBER STAYS.

It Is Said They Can't Get Along without
Him at OIaths.
The new steward at the deaf and dumb
asylum has taken charge. He is abso-
Iutely incompetent, and knows nothing
about bookkeeping and has employed
the present gentlemanly Democratic
steward, under the Lewelling administra-
ton to do the work.-Olathe Tribune.
This refers to Geo. Tauber, who it
seems, is to remain at Olathe in the SER
vice of the state, for time at least. Mr.
Tauber is a valuable man, and it ought
to be source of satisfaction to the peo-
pie of Kansas that while there is so
much incompetency in state institutions
that one good man is to be retained

MICROBES OF ALCOHOLISM.
This Is New Fad Which the Medical
Profession May Adopt.

Profession May Adopt.
"The funniest theory I ever heard
regarding drunkenness as a disease
said DIR. Henry S. Trigg, the brilliant
ex-chief of the Bureau of Contagious
Diseases, who is making a special
study of alcoholism in it's varied and
interesting, if not exactly pleasant,
phases, acute, chronic and otherwise,
lis held by a gentleman who runs
somewhat celebrated retreat for So
called dipsomaniacs not far from the
city of Hartford, Conn. This genius
hOlds-and he has been many years in
the business-that drunkenness is con-
tagious, just like measles or typhoid
fever. He believes that the disease
can be communicated directly from one
who is infected with it to one whose
system is in condition to receive the
infection. According to his theory,
drunkard should be locked up, not
alone for his own good, put because
he is a constant menace to others
when permitted to go at large. Sounds
comical, does it not? Yet the good
doctor can expound his theory by the
hour, and bring excellent sounding
reasons to his side of the question.
AS for me, I cannot quite accept the
contagion theory, but I would not be
surprised to wake up some day and
find in my newspaper that some scien-
fist has discovered the bacillus of al
coholism. I am strongly impressed
with the idea, gained from my re-
searches. that there is a microbe en-
gendered by alcoholic drink

ROBART HELD TO ANSWER
Daniel Shelley Tells How the Pacific

Daniel Shelley Tells How the Pacific
Hotel Safe Was Robbed.
A J. Robart was examined in the Po-
lice Court yesterday on charge OF grand
larceny. in taking $50 from the safe at the
Pacific Hotel in April, 1894.
Daniel Shelley testified that he went up
stairs on the night of the robbery to show
drunken customer to bed, and while on
the stairs he heard the jingle OF money in
the Office and ran back. Robart was lust
going out OF the front door and the safe
0oor was open about six inches. He
caHeo to hobart, and the latter asked
MN what he wanted with him. He told
hobart to come back and put back the
money into the safe, and Robart ran
away and escaped. Robart, before the
other man went to bed, invited witness
TO go up to the ''Old Corner and take a
drink, the other saloons being closed, and
afterwards proposed that witness 60 with
the drunken man to get drink, and that
ne tRobart) would stay In the Office till
they came back.
Mrs. Singleton testified that Shelley
woke her up and told her that Robart
had robbed the safe. He took $50 to 500,
but there was about $40 left In it which
he did not have time to get. The safe was
locked by her, but Robart had had her
key for seven or eight months. she testI-
fed, and robbed her systematically for
months. having learned the combination.
Her keys were taken from the table in
her room and hobart told her that the
waiter had them. She missed money all
the time.
The court held the evidence sufficient
to hold Robart, and he was held to an
swer, with bail fixed at 81 900.

IfOrSeleSs Vehicles,

Mans desire to improve on nature in
the matter of IocomOtion has taken the
form in France of races between horse
less carriages. Paris is all agog over the
new excitement, and the engineers, me-
chanics and inventors of all kinds of
motor vehicles are promising something
distinctly novel and i'm de siecie.
1t is predicted, says the Detroit Electri-
cal Student, that the carriage and wagon
making trades will be revolutionized by
these races il continued from year to year.
Hitherto the races have only been for
motor wagons manufactured in France,
but q series of tests is being arranged TO
bring the foreign made vehicles into COM
petition. 1t will be grand sweepstake es
with prizes offered by the Government
aggregating 10000 francs, and with en-
tries OF hOrseles6 vehicles from England,
America, Italy, Germany and France.
The race last season was from Rouen to
Paris, a distance Of thirty miles, over
medium roads with some stiff hills. The
motor power was furnished by steam, Pc
troleum and gasoline. A four wheeled
carriage made the journey in seven
hours.
Petroleum was found to be ahead of
steam. The petroleum machines require
no engineer, are guided by one hand and
are inexpensive. a nine-quart reservoir
furnishes an oil supply for 200 mile run
in one vehicle. The oil is consumed
drop at a time by electricity generated by
the revolution of the wheels. Gasoline,
while light OF storage, was found uncer-
tain of supply under certain circum-
stances, and so dirty that it clogged the
wheels.
