LlNcoLN's DEATH WOUND.
Just where the Fatal Bullet Entered and
the Course 1t Took.


One of the assistants to Chief Clerk Syl-
vester of the Metropolitan police depart
ment is Harry p. Cattell, who has charge
of the properly room. In his younger days
Mr.. Cattell was an embalmer. On Satur-
day morning, April Is, a few hours after
the death of the president, Mr.. Cattell was
directed to 90 to the executive mansion
and embalm the body.
1t is many years since the assassination
which excited such profound horror in all
civilized portions of the globe, and while
every reader knows how the beloved chief
executive met his death comparatively few
people of this generation know just where
the fatal bullet entered his body or wha!
course IL took. Mr.. Cattell showed n re
porter verbatim copy of the original re-
port, written by an assistant to Surgeon
General Barnes, who made the autopsy.
The following is an exact copy;
yesterday Surgeon General Barnes, as
sisted by Drs. Stone, the late presidents
family physician, Curtis, Woodward Crane,
Taft and other eminent medical men,
made an autopsy in the presence of Presi-
dent johnson, General Augur and General
Rucker. The external appearance of the
face of the president presented deep black
stain around both eyes. The fatal wound
was on the left side of the head, behind
and in n line with and three inches from
the left ear. The course of the ball was
obliquely forward toward the right eye,
crossing the brain in an oblique manner
and lodging n few inches behind that eye.
In the track Of the wound were found frag
ments of bone, which had been driven for.

in the anterior lobe of the left hemisphere

The Hot Springs of Arkansas have
long been deservedly popular, for the
reason that there has been no other place
that has filed the requirements of both
a health and u pleasure resort. This
state of affairs has changed. The Hot
Springs of South Dakota have. in recent
years, been thrown open TO the people,
and because of their delightful situation
and great curative qualities, are becom
ing more popular every day. Situated as
this resort is, in the famous Black Hills,
in the midst of beautiful mountain
scenery, possessing that peculiar bal
samie atmosphere which is in itself
health giving, with waters that are pro-
nounced by experts equal if not superior
to those of any other mineral springs in
the world, it will soon outrank any other
like resort.
The hotel accommodations are of the
best-hostelries with all the modern i'm
provements and conveniences. The
Evans hotel, built of pink sand
stone, with steam heat, electric lights,
and every room outside one, is
easily the best conducted house between

than picturesque-it is wonderful. The

plunge bath at the Springs is noted as
being one of the largest natatoriums in
the world. So healthful are the sur

LOST HIS DIAMOND.

r inlkin Mason Loses His Jewel but Finds
1t in Kansas City.
Rankin Mason, assistant United States
al orney, has for a long time worn
large diamond set in a ring, which he
valued not only for its intrinsic value
(about $3.50. but also for its associations.
Mr. Rankin was in Kansas City, Kan. !,
last week on business, and when noon
ca me he found himself decidedly hun
CRY and went to his hotel and ordered
big dinner When all the good things
wore spread before him and he was in
tbs act of sticking his napkin under his
chin in true western style, he noticed
that his diamond was gone.
The ring was still there but it's setting
was lost The revelation took Mr.
N Ason's appetite completely away, and
he felt as though he were in a dream,
aud troubled dream at that. He had
not the slightest idea in what part of
Kansas City, Kas., or Kansas City, Mo-,
tn at setting might have been lost. Sud
denly, like an inspiration, it flashed upon
him that when he alighted from a cable
car on Minnesota avenue he came near
losing his balance, had struck his hand
fOrcibly against the car to save him
self. Perhaps he had knocked the dia-
mond from its setting there.
He remembered the corner, and with
no more tenglDl0 knowledge, ne lett the
table and set out to look for his diamond.
de felt silly feeling around in the slush
of a Kansas City street corner with his
cane looking for y diamond no bigger
than 3 bean, but it was shown finally
that Mr. Nason's inspiration was an in.
spiration. for in about fifteen minutes he
found his diamond, not ten feet from
where he left the car, lying in plain view
near the car track, sparkling in the sun
light
DR.. Mason picked it up stealthily. He
then went back and finished his dinner.
The ring has since been reset so tightly
that only a charge of blasting powder
would loosen it.

A Eureka Man Who Has Built an
Enormous Dam.
Mr. II. r. Hilton has returned from
Eureka, where he attended an irrigation
convention. he thing that interested
Mr.. Hilton most was the farm of George
A. Munger, eight miles north of Eureka
The farm consists of 1000 acres, 500 acres
being in apple trees, which are large
enough to bear. He also has $50 acres
in catalpa trees eight years old. Mr..
Hilton says that ne was surprised at the
immensely of the arrangements Mr..
Munger has made to irrigate his farm.
',He has just completed a dam 2,60J
feet long and 40 feet high, at the hig hest
place, and 1872 feet thick at the middle,
said Mr.. Hilton. ''When the basin is
full the lake will be 207 acres in extent,
and will hold enough water to cover
1900 acres one foot deep. He has made
arrangements to have the water pumped
by powerful engines to the highest point
on the place through large sewer pipe,
aud it will then be carried over the place
and used to irrigate the farm
ssThe artificial lake. it is expected will
collect the surface water from 800 acres
Every thing has been done from an en-
cheering and scientific standpoint, and
his irrigating plant should bs "a great
success. Mr.. Munger will do more for
irrigation than will be done with the
$4,000 appropriated by the Legislature"

Interest Ygasn't Pa1d-Mts PhIIaH-
rhroDiay COOS Out ia Certain Lines
Only it Appears.
Public men are not always entirely
consistent Philanthropists sometimes
have specialties. While the Reverend
Charles H. Parkhurst is fighting vice in
New York city and is making himself
the most talked about preacher in the
United States, he is making life misera-
BILE for few Kansas farmers upon whose
farms he holds mortgages, because they
are not able to pay the interest
Two or three years ago c. w. Romine,
who lives near Eskridge, was compelled
50 borrow $1,000. He secured the money
through loan agency, not dreaming in
whose power he was placing himself
The man who loaned the money was
Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst, and at the
same time he made investments in other
Kansas farm mortgages. The New
York preacher evidently "had faith in
Kansas"
There was q provision in the mortgage
Romine gave which said that in case he
failed TO make the payments of interest
The entire amount would become due
and the mortgage might be foreclosed.
This provision is in other mortgages
given on Kansas farms, but the lender
does not often take advantage of the bor-
rover if he is not able to pay the interest
promptly.
The drouth came and Romine found
himself unable to pay the interest on the
Parkhurst mortgage. He placed a second
mortgage on his farm and hoped and
prayed for rain and crops which never
came When the failure of the corn crop
cIms last year Romine could borrow no
more money and the interest could not
be paid.
Then the great New York preacher
rose in his bsnevolence and demanded
the price of his bond. The pound of
fesh had been bargained for and must
be delivered. So Parkhurst notified his
Topeka lawyers, Ferry 81 Doran, that
the mortgage on Romine's farm must be
fOreclosed and proceedings were accord
ngly commenced to dispossess the
farmer.
But Romine succeeded in preventing
the sale of his place under the foreclos-
urs proceedings. He found a more ten
der hearted money loaner who let him
have the money to pay the Parkhurst
mortgage and so Romine still holds his
little farm and Rev. Charles H. Park
hurst of New York has received his
N oney with interest.
The other mortgages Parkhurst holds
have not get been foreclosed.

Monday evening, and undertook to see the

Officer Lowe was called in and in his
eloquent way persuaded the young men
that they had better contribute ten cents
each to the support of the institution,
and they did.
They then concluded they were in
justice to themselves bound to get their
moneys worth and they began on the

ABOUT MISS YAW.
She has Recently been Vaccinated an
Limps Some-Shs is Pretty.

She has Recently been Vaccinated and
Limps Sone-Shs is Pretty.
Miss Yaw is unfortunate in her stage
appearance. There were people in the
audience last night who are willing to
perjure themselves by swearing sh Q is
thin faced aud homely. Nothing could
be further from the truth. Away from
the deceptive glare and shawdows of
the footlights Miss Yaw exchanges the
rather angular talIness for rounded
grace and beauty that is charming.
There is a simplicity about her man
ner that suggests none of the vulgar
conscientiousness of success that has
married the performance of at least one
or two prima donna that have visited
Topeka this year.
Miss Yaw is just recovering from
severe cold, and slight attack of the
grippe. She coughed a great deal IN her
dressing room last night, but succeeded
admirably in covering up any sign of 1t
IN her voice, and the audience did not
know of the difficulty.
Miss Yaw is thoroughly American.
She is New York girl, but the greater
part of her life has been spent in
California. It will be noticed with a
good deal of satisfaction that SO great
singer has so far refused to tack to her
name the foolish French prefix that de-
ceives no one and wearies many. She
is merely Miss Yaw of America"
She denies the story that her correct
name is Way and that she has spelled it
backward for use on the stage. and five
minutes acquaintance with her would
convince you that she speaks the truth
always.
Before the footlights Miss Yaw walked
steadily and straight but in tho privacy
of her dressing room she limped great
deal.
Perhaps too solicitous visitor, young
man, was unfortunate enough to ask her
! how she hurt her ankle.
There was amused CONSERVATION
among the three female occupants of the
dressing room and the young man felt
he had made sad mistake.
sob, DEAR" said the prima donna;
"what shall 1 say now? Girls, how did
/ hurt my ankle?"
Neither would tell, and the young
man fastened to apologize.
