The readers Of this journal have noticed

Both Of these up-to-dste household conven-
fences are the product Of Prof. D. w.

taxed to-day to keep pace with the present
demand. To representative Of this paper

move at once. He also issued proc.
lsmation offering $500 reward for the
information that would lead TO the ar
rest and conviction Of the guilty per.
son or persons. There was, however,
no attempt made to organize q mob,
the more reasonable element feeling
that II was best to await developments
and ascertain more about who were
guilty. The faculty Of the college met
and passed resolutions setting forth
that they had no knowledge of the
presence Of bodies In the dissecting
rooms other than those obtained In &C.
cordsnce with law. Mrs. Lillis was q
member Of the Church Of the Assump-
tion, and the Catholics are very nstu.
rally thoroughly aroused over the mat
ter.
This outrage is the most revolving,
inhuman and dsstardly that has re-
Gently been perpetrated In Shawnee
county. The person or persons who
are guilty should be given a penalty
which will be a warning to all future
wrOng.doers Of this kind, and which
will effectuslly stop the deseCratlon Of
graves for generation.

Making q Good Record.

Hon. William Baker is not saying
much but he is getting down to bust
ness. While the Republican members
from this State are hunting for pre-
ferment on committees and giving
more attention to their own personal
ambitions than to public affairs, he Is
quietly introducing some very good
bills. His Republican colleagues have
introduced q number of bills, large
number of which are of private ma
ture, but nearly all Of Mr.. Bakers bills
are of public character and cslcu-
lated to benefit large number Of peo,
pie.
His general irrigation bill, If passed,
would afford an opportunity to thor.
oughly test the efficacy of irrigation In
the semi.srid regions. During the last
session his bill to cede the Fort Hayes
military reservation to the State was
passed by both houses, but reached the
executive mansion too late to be signed.
1t has been again introduced.
He has also introduced q bill to bring
the members of the Eighteenth and
Nineteenth Kansas Volunteer Infantry
under the provisions of the pension act
Of June, 1890.
1t will be seen that these measures
are such as will benefit g large number
of people. His experience and acquain.
tance in Congress will enable him to
make a hard fight for the bills and by
so doing he will maintain the excellent
record he has always borne with his
constituents.

The Santa Fe Sale.

The Santa Fe was sold Tuesday at
the passenger depot at 2 p. m. The
price paid was s6O,OOO,OOO. There was
but one bidder, Edward King, who
represented the reorganlzed company.
Judge ]. B. Johnson made the sale. 1t
was sold much as an suctioneer would
sell a calf, with exception of the fact
that long order of sale and sew
eral protests were read. The new
company will have substantially
the same name ss the old one
and has filed q charter with
Secretary of State Edwards In which
its capital stock is placed at 1898, 1885,
600. The Topeka directors are G. S.
Gleed, G. K. Holiday, Edward Wilder
and Thomas A. Osborne.
1t is stated, and it is to be hoped 1t
Is true, that the new road will not In.

TOPEKA GRAVES ROBBED.
Yandals Desecrate Graves In Rochester
Cemetery.


Tibly wrought up over the finding this
week Of the bodies of the wives Of
three citizens in the disseCtlng rooms
oE She Kansas Medical College. The
wife OF /. o. Van Fleet died Wednes-
dsy, December 4, and her remains
wore buried at Rochester Sunday. On
Monday her body was found by her
husbands brother In the dissecting
room Of the college which is located at
Twelfth and Tyler. The hair had been
removed from her head as had also the
sktnfrom the face. The body was
identified, q slightly deHormed foot
helping materially.
On the following day A. N. Dske,
also Of North Topeka, after having
read in the daily papers report Of the
above, became uneasy about the re.
mains Of his wife, who had died No.
vember 20. Tuesday afternoon he
went to Rochester cemetery and inVes-
tlgation showed that the grave had
been desecrated. A search warrant
was Immediately obtained and this
body was also found at the college.
There was another body of woman
ct the college and others who had
buried friends lately began to investi
wste to see If IL could be possible that
the grave could have been robbed. On
Wednesday John Lillls, whose broth
er's (P. H. Lillls9 died and had
been buried at Calvary cemetery,
December 6, went to the ceme-
terry and found that the grave
had not escaped the ghouls' attention,
and that the body was gone. He Inn.
medlately instituted q search of the
college rooms and the last remaining |
body was identified fully.
This Is certainly terrible state of
affairs and there are few people In TO
peka who are not justly indignant that
such things should have happened.
The officers of the college protest
that they know nothing about the desc
Grafton Of the graves and supposed
that the bodies were obtained In le
gltimate way. IL will be hard for their
aCquaintances and friends to believe
that they were parties to this terrible
wrong. The law provides for institu.
tI0ns Of this character to get sub
jeCts FOR dissection, and 1t Is certainly
TO be hoped that these officers were led
To believe that the bodies were OBJ
talned in this wsy. But someone is
guilty Of an offense which merits the
BaveEest punishment permissible under
tao statute. The County Attorney will
do, and is doing, everything in his
power to locate the guilty parties, and |
it Is the unanimous sentiment Of the
people that the guilty parties, whoever
they may be, should be made to suffer
the full penalty.
Messrs. Dske and Llllls are members
of the A. o. u. W., and a joint meet

Chair sr the Giant Idri..

One of the mountain peaks of north
Wales is known as the Chair Of Idris, or
Cader Idris, as the Welsh people call it,
because its top is followed out like an
immense couch. According to local ira
dition, whoever spends night in the
Chair OF Idris will, on the following
morning, be dead, raving mad or en-
dOwed with the lofsiest pOetical inspira-
tiOn. No one seems to know exactly who
Idris was or when he lived, but he must
have been a giant if his body was in
proportion with his celebrated "chair. 4"
Mrs Hemans has fine poem with the
Chair of Idris as the theme, and Tenny-
SON also mentions it in Enid st.

Importance of the Exchange Reader.

The man who reads the exchanges is
a very important man, and, let me say,
too, he is a pretty highly paid man He
has to read, we will say. 5000 papers
regularly. All the newspapers in the
country come into the Office, and he does
not do anything else. He sits at his desk
all day, and a pile of newspapers, or,
say, a cord of newspapers. is laid before
him every morning. He starts TO work
and turns them over and over to see
what Is III them He has to know what
it Is that should be taken from them
and put into his paper. What is the in
tereSting story? 1t requires Judgment to
know this. 1t requires knowledge and
experience as well as talent 1t also re-
quires a sense of humor, because there
are great many things that are really
important that may not seem so at the
first glance, and the newspaper reader
has got to judge about that He must
always be ON hand and spend great
many hours at his desk, and he is pretty
tired when he gets through with his
day task 1t is hard duty, but he has
lots of amusement, and, as said. he is
very well paid. So he is happy. Charles

He Could Be IndInersnt.

1t isn't every man that owns a silk
hat, but it is the dream Of every very
young mans life to possess one A
young man in our end of town went to
the matinee with the only girl he ever
really loved, and he wore silk hat
He put it under the seat carefully, and
the next person who came in gave it a
kick that practically ruined it, Most
young fellows would have had fit right
there, but this one said nothing at all
He was so philosophical that the girl
was charmed As they came out of the
theater they met another young man,
and the three went to get some soda
water. The girl told about the young
mans hat, and how philosophical he
was:
why, do you know, Jack, - she said,
Charley didn't even look annoyed. 1t
was lovely"
"Umph, said Jack, with fire in his
eye, it's all right for him to be lovely,
but it, my hatl"

LAFAYETTE's GRAVE.

''Whiic III Paris a short while ago, 4"

fore l could find any one to enlighten

quiry ascertained its location. The grave
is situated i'll old Paris, within the
grounds of a convent that the ancestors
of Lafayette founded, and where repose
the remains of many of the French no

attention in connection with the hcrO's
tomb was that above it fiOated a silken
flag bearing the stars and stripes
1T seems that good many years ago
an American gentleman left in his Will
a sum Of money to be used for the spe-
cial purpose of keeping an American
flag forever flying above the grave Of

RUMSEY'S STEAMBOAT.

Records Which Show That 1t Antedated
FultOn's Product by Twcuty-two Years.
The records of jefferson county, w.
Va, prove what is not generally known
that Robert Fulton was not the first
man to build a steamboat in this coun-
try. He was anticipated over % years
by James Rumsey of Charleston, Va
now West Virginia Rumsey's steam
boat was partly constructed i'll Frederick
county, Nd, in 1885. 1t was fitted up
with machinery partly manufactured at
a furnace called ''The COcoctin Fur
mace, owned by johnson Brothers, and
located near the town of Frederick
The two cylinders, the boiler, pumps,
pipes, etc, were built in Baltimore
Part of the work was done at the old
Antietam Iron works RumSey's boat
was 80 feet in length, and it was pro-
PEELED by an engine which worked a
vertical pump placed in the center of the
vessel The water was drawn i'll at the
bow and forced out at the stern through
horizontal pipe The entire weight of
the machinery was 665 pounds, and
the tonnage of the vessel was three tons.
The entire machinery, including the
boiler, ETC., took up space of very lit
tie over feet square.
The first public experiment took place
ON the Potomac river ON March IA, 1886,
when the boat showed speed of four
miles an hour up stream. The records Of
Jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas John
son Of Maryland were among the pat
rons of Rumsey, and that the experiment
was made in the interest of the then
proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canal -

HYPHENATEO NAMES.
gome Are Sanuine, Others simply Stand
Fer Bnobbery-How to Distinguish.

gome Are Genuine, Others Simply Stand
Fer Bnobbery-How to Distinguish.
Hyphenated names in Europe may be
ivided into two categories-namely,
those wherein the hyphen is 4 mere piece
of snobbery and aff2ctation, and those
wherein it is consequent upon legal
obligation. The latter are in the minor
ity and are borne almost invariably by
legatees and their descendants, who have
inherited property, usually real estate,
contingent upon their tacking the name
of the testatOr on TO their own, or else
they are men who have married heiresscS
and been accepted as husbands for the
latter ON the condition that they should
append the family name Of their wives
to their own patronymic.
People in the other category, who use
the hyphen merely with the object of
creating the impression that they are of
more ancient lineage than is really the
case, invariably prefix, instead of ap-
pending, the additional name, and it Is
this that enables one TO distinguish the
bona fide double barrel, - as Lord Ran
dolph Churchill used to call them, from
those who are not, for you have only 10
ask Mr.. Ponsonby-Jones for the name Of
his paternal grandfather in order to find
out that the old gentleman was simple
Jones, devoid of the aristocratic Ponson-
by, whereas i'll the case of surnames
adopted in Difference to testamentary
dispositions one will invariably find on
inquiry that the paternal grandfather
and ancestors bore the first of the two
patronymics.
The persons who make use of hyphen-
ated names without being compelled to
do so are usually the owners of patro-
nymics excruciatingly plebeian, who
hope, vAinly, it is true, to redeem the
commonplace character of their name by
prefxing thereto one calculated, they
trust, TO create the impression that they
are connected with some of the great
houses of the nobility. Thus 1t is quite
common to find Montmorency- Smiths,
Plantagenet- -RObinsons and We're de
