The committee appointed to investi-
gate the condition of Pike creek, be-
tween Main street bridge and Grand

To the Board Of Health Of the city OF
Ke41OSbG:
@GENTLEMEN:-Y committee who
were appointed for the purpose OF in
vestigating the condition of Pike creek
between Main street bridge and Grand
street bridge, and for the purpose of
determining whether the condition OF
said creek at the place above named is
a menace to the health and comfort of
the people living in the vicinity there
of, respectfully report that we have in
vestigated that portion of said Pike
creek above mentioned and find that
the same is filled with putrefying sub
stances causing an unbearable stencil
and filling the air with obnoxious odors
and germs calculated to breed pesti-
lence and disease.
We further report that it is our opin-
ion that the unhealthful condition Of
said 4tleam and of the bed of said
stream is caused by substances which
have been and are being thrown and
deposited therein by Aliens Sons tan
merry people.
We further report that in our opinion
the substances so thrown and deposit
ed in said stream has rendered it at the
points mentioned a nuisance which
should be abated, and that unless
abated the people living in it's vicinity
are liable to be at any time stricken
with fatal diseases.
We would recommend that said
stream between the points mentioned
be dredged sufficiently to remove all
obnoxious substances therefrom with
out unnecessary delay.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Hansen were notified to get it.
The body was brought in about l
o'clock. Careful examination by both
Messrs. Cameron and Hansen con-
vinced them that the body answered to
the description given of Capt. j. FL.
Hatch, of the schooner Kate Kelly,
which foundered off Racine in one of
the awful storms Of last May. Capt.
Cameron wired the son of the late Capt.
Hatch in Chicago. he is expected up

ing in the vicinity, none of them saw
him fall IN. A boy standing on the
bridge some feet away saw him and at
tempted to notify the men in time to
save him, but he was too late. When
the men got to him he was gone. John
Smith got long pole and flshed the
body out. The life saving crew was at
once notified and Capt. Cameron spent
about half an hour over the body to see
if it could be resuscitated, but when a
physician arrived he pronounced it
fruitless effort. The police and Justice
Slater were notified, and jury was
impanelled at once. The jury consisted
of Matthias Moder, Benjamin Cameron,

IN CLOSE CONSULTATION.
The Prosecution Putting Hard Work in on
The Conspiracy Case.
(T7,.o,,, Nror6au.S nailuN

(From Mondays Daily1
Today has been a lively one for the
prosecution in the now famous con-
spiracv and arson case which has a
preliminary hearing pending for Aug.
5. j. Y Quarles has been down from
Milwaukee, and he, Cowie and District
Attorney Buckmaster have been in
close consultation a good portion of the
day going over the testimony in hand.
Their consultations have been prac-
tically behind closed doors, so that just
what they have done it is impossible to
say further. 1t is believed that they
arrived at a conclusion TO call on the
insurance companies for an attorney to
represent their interests direct. Being
so vitality interested in the case, they
will undoubtedly furnish good lawyer
to assist in the matter at their own eX-
pense.
The case is to be a very bitterly con-
tested affair. That is beyond doubt,
and Kenosha county court house will
surround some Of the shreWdest legal
quibbling this county has ever known.
The defense has called in the ablest
attorneys within reach and the prosecu-
lion does not intend to get worsted on
that point. Mr.. Quarles has reputa-
ton second to none, while there is
every reason to believe that the insur-
ance companies will send a man here
who cannot be considered of second
rate Importance.
Sharp detective work is still being
INDUCED in on both sides. Detective
Cowie has several times stated that it
was not his habit to let go of a single
thread in the detail until the jury in
the trial of the case had gone out to
find verdict
The publication in this paper of the
fact that the old ruins of the Bedding
works had been dug over for testimony
by the prosecution has been the means
of bringing this main fact to the front.
While the defense is very close mouthed
abouts its matters, it has not been
learned positively that it has gone to
the works to forbid further work of that
character, but it seems certain that
Saturday q close watch was kept
on the place so as to see to it that De-
tective Cowie and Chief Stemm kept
away from there. This fact led
Messrs. Stemm and Cowie to get a
horse and buggy Saturday and drive
out to within sight of the place to see
to it that the other fellows did not dig.
This is not stated as positive fact, but
those who claim to know claim that
that is what happened Saturday and
that that is why all parties to the affair
were not to be seen about town that
day. 1t is certain, beyond any perad-
venture that the closest watch is being
kept on both sides, and neither side
has so far been caught mapping. The
prosecution is figuring on springing
some sudden surprises on the defend
ants. Whether success will attend
them seems to be something of ques-
ton.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock

The talent has been worsted again. It's
nothing new for they have been selling
on breaks aud buying on Eulges ever
since the advance begun month ago.
1t is little singular that any one should
see anything bearish on government
report that does not indicate more
than 265 million bushels of
wheat allowing for pillow ed-up and
abandoned crops. This is 61.00O,0OO less
than was estimated last year. The talent
sold great deal of wheat this morning,
and if the predicted frost naterializes
tonight in Kansas. Missouri and Illinois,
there will probably be wild
scramble Monday to cover shorts.
Primary receipts continue to fall
off, being but 100000 today
while exports were over 100000. The
export trade is picking up and the de-
mand from millers is getting more
active New York reports 20 loads
taken for export. 1t looks like higher
| prices next week. Corn and oats were
weak, in spite of the anticipated frost.
Can see nothing to encourage short

FINE HORSES AT EMPORIA.
a String Belonging to Malcolm Forbes is
Resting There.

EMPoRIA. May 11.-Grant Page, a
former Emporia driver and trainer, ar
rived in the city yesterday with one of
the finest string of fast horses probably
ever seen in bunch in Kansas. They
are fifteen in number and are the prop
erty of the great horseman, J. Malcolm
Forbes, of Boston. Mass, who owns
Nancy Hanks. Jack and other fast ones.
They were purchased at the celebrated
Senator Stamford stock farm, at PaIo
Alto, Cal, about two months ago by
John Hall, Mr.. Forbes agent, and are
now on the way to Boston. At AIbu-
querque one of the string was taken sick
and left, the rest being brought to En-
poria, where they will be kept until the
sick horse is able to be brought on.
Mr.. Forbes has the reputation of pay
ing fabulous prices for horehesh. and it
is said paid good-sized fortune for the
lot
