TOLD OF MISS B0NEsTEEL.
While in Il Hypnotic State, Mr.. Werner
Relates ii Curious Tale.


The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearancs of Mis- Maude Bonesteei at
Kansas City last winter, which Professor
Leonard mind reader, came TO Topeka
to unravel has at last been solved,
At Kansas City last Friday night Mrs
Maggie Warner IF Ottawa, whiie il u
hypnotic state told what became Of
Maude Bone5teel
Mrs Warner, while in a trance which
was given as an exhibition OF her pow
ers at the home of Dr.. John NJ. Lcug =
ale, 1912 Tracy avenue before six physi-
CLANS walked the floor and told the story
CT the disaI p arance CT Miss
Boaesteel from the home OF her parents
in Kansas City. She then described Il
room in which were several persons, one
of whom she called "Anude."
She then told ho" he girl was removed
to the Cook county hospital to have a
surgical operation performed which re-
sulle1 in her death.
There in the cemetery" she con
tinued, adjoining the hospital, lies the
body of Alaude Bonesteel, filing d pau
per's grave"
One of the doctors asked Mrs. Warner
to tell the numb Der of the grave, but just
then she fell over and was perfectly
rigid from head TO toe.
If Mrs. Warmers trance story is cor
rect. it is not strange that Prof Leonard
did not find the girl in Topeka.

SCHOOL FUND QUEST.
Why Isn't the ReDors Filed With the Gov
ernor?

Why Isn't the Report E1ieo with the Gov
ernor?
The report of the state school fund in
vestigation committee has not yet been
filed with the governor and it is now ex-
pected that the report will be held from
the public until after election.
The report of this investigation COM
mittee was ready to be signed several
weeks ago and meeting of the com
mittee at which the members were TO
sign the document was set for October
10. For some reason quo
rum of the committee did
not attend the meeting and
it was announced that the report would
be signed and sent to the governor Octo-
Der % The 22nd came and went, but
the report has not yet been sent to tho
governor.
B. F. Hilton, the Populist member of
the committee, wrote out and signed an
individual report which is in the hands
of the chairman of the committee TO be
filed with the regular report.
This committee has already got all the
money out of the governors contingent
fund it will be allowed to have, and that
is probably one reason the members are
in no hurry about making their report
public
