An Investigation of the City Dump
Revealed the Awful Condf-
tion OF Many Children.

The sanitary officers made an inspection
of the crematory, the city dump and the
factory of E. Rauh e. Son. yesterday after
noon, with some startling developments. The
dump was found to be in bad sanitary
condition because of a large quantity of
animal and vegetable matter which has
been dumped there. The health department
has been informed that there is a great deal
of sickness among the children living in Ok
lahoma-that part of the city near the dump
and crematory-and the sanitary officers, in
their rounds, found the cause. On the dumps
were many children picking over the ma
terial which had been thrown there. A
larger number was found at the erematory.
The children carried baskets, in which they
put pieces of refuse bread, fruit and other
material which could be eaten, but which
was unfit for use The Board of Health
will try and put stop to this. At the
establishment of E. Rauh & Son two hum
dred dead animals were found lying on the
ground, many of them badly decomposed.
The officers will report the result of their
investigation to the board tor action.

COLLEGE OF MUSIC CONCERT.
The JanIxO Keyboard One of thu
Most Interesting Features.

Musicians as well as others recognize this
to be a day of invention. One of the late
achievements which has been put to prac-
ticaI test is the Janko keyboard. In the
last of the series of artists rectals, which
have been given during the winter under
the auspices of the College of Music, which
took place last evening at the -Propylaeum,

as pianist for number of years. Within
the past few weeks he has been giving
a series of concerts in Cincinnati in con-
nection with Mr.. Dorner, the well-known
teacher Mr.. Graham has learned to use
the keyboard and plays part of his selec-
tons on it and the others on the regular
grand piano. The Janko keyboard is little
more than half the length OF the regular
keyboard and has six banks of keys. These
are SO arranged that great stretches may be
made, as far as tone is concerned, with the
very least effort of the hand. The object of
the keyboard is to do away with the diff
ficulties found in many compositions which
require more than the ordinary length
fingers to execute.

! TIMBER THIEVES AT WORK.
A Bold Scheme Thwarted, but the
Thief Escapes.

A bold system of timber thieving has
Gently come to light near Lawrence, in the
northeastern part of this county. But for
the timely appearance of the owner of the
timber the scene. every tree on the place
would, in all proba bility, have been carried
off. As it was large number of the best
trees were cut down and several of them
hauled to this city and sold.
A week ago yesterday man representing
himself as ]. w. Wright, living on College
avenue, in this city, appeared at Lawrence
and said that he wanted to hire four or
five to cut some timber from a certain
piece of land, stating that he had bought
it from the man who owned it. Several of
the citizens hired to do the cutting and
then a second man appeared on the scene
to direct the work. number of the finest
trees on the place were cut down and hauled
to mill in this city. The work was kept
up for several days, the man representing
himself as Wright going to the mill and
collecting the money for the logs. At the
end of the week Wright left Lawrence and
came to this city to spend Sunday, without
paying the workmen. Last Sunday after
noon the old gentleman who owns the tim
Der land and who lives in Upton. happened
to go down to Lawrence on business. One
of the workmen met him and upbraided
him for having sold any of the timber from
the other was joking and told him so. but
upon going to his land he was amazed to
see the best of the trees lying on the
ground. He then realized what had happened
and soon had the whole populace aroused.
Monday the owner of the land and the
four men who. had spent the week in cut
ting and hauling the stolen timber, came
to this city and called on Superintendent
Powell in no pleasant frame of mind. They
explained the situation and declared that
they were after the. blood of the man who
had stolen the timber. Mr.. Powell ascer-
tanned the fact that there were yet some
logs which Wright expected to be brought
to the city, and told the to return and
begin hauling the logs on Monday morning
as usual and that when Wright appeared
at the mill to collect the money for them
he would be arrested. The men returned but
evidently thought they knew better than
superintendent Powell how. to catch the
thief and failed to obey his instructions,
for no more logs were hauled. Detectives
had been stationed at the mill to catch
Wright when he appeared. but he had evil
IDENTIFY caught wind of the condition of
things, for he has not since been seen. The
fellow who was to oversee the work went
to the place Saturday and took his tools
away with him he seemed to be expect
ing trouble. Wright had collected only a
little over $21 when his scheme was dis
covered.

STATE FAIR ARRANGEMENTS.
Old Soldiers and Children Will BE Adj
mitted Free on Tuesday.

The State Board of Agriculture met yes
terday to prepare plans for the State fair.
The members entered upon the work with
much spirit owing to the fact that financial
conditions had been greatly improved by the
appropriation of $4,000 yearly for the prem
ium list. Secretary Kennedy said yesterday
that the premium list would be made more
attractive than ever before The board re-
vised the rules somewhat as to sheep and
swine exhibits Tt was ordered that Tues
day be made an attractive day for the chill
dren, who will be admitted free. Lem H.
Wiley, who had charge of the music last
year. will have charge of the musical pro-
gramme this year, and will present
spectacle on Tuesday of fair week called the
Living flag" in which he will need one
thousand children IN uniform. The board
adopted a resolution throwing open the fair
for the day to the old soldiers. The inmates
of the various benevolent institutions will
also be the guests of the board for the
day. 1t was decided to make Wednesday
indianapolis day and the musical day of the
week.

A NEW GAS ENGINE.
Designed Especially for Running
Suburban Trains.

ellison w. Roth, of this city, has invented
and patented a gas engine entirely different
from all others in existence 1t is a four
cylinder engine, and is run by gasoline A
small tank above the engine supplies the
oil, which is administered to the cylinders
by a valve. The cylinders are connected
with electric wires, and a spark from these
ignites the gas. and these explosions form
the motive power of the engine. An auto
matte governor regulates the gas that an
explosion occurs with every half revolution
of the balance wheel. Bert Gickert, of No.
306 South West street, has invented a dyna-
mo which furnishes the electric spark and
does away with a battery. When the belt
wheel of the dynamo is given a turn a
spark ignites the gas in the cylinders. Gas
can be used in the engine as well as gaso-
line, and at much less expense.
A stock company is in course of organiza-
ton at Louisville, KY, and a large plant to
manufacture the engines will be erected in
that city.
