WASHINGTON, Sept 7.-Secretary
Morton has received a number of in
quiries from cattlemen asking if it is
safe to import Norman cattle from

Norman cattle have been imported by
western stockmen, seeking to make in
designations concerning various kinds
of cattle The secretary finds from
the French records that over 10 per
cent. of the Norman cattle have tuber-

withdrawn for export from the sub

other points, aggregating S1s6O 900, so

confidently believed 500, OOO 600 was
the lowest point the syndicate would

IS 1T A FAKE OR FRAkERq
Sensational Letter from 6 German at Du-
luth to a Topeka Paper.

SENSATIONAL herman
luth to y Topeka Paper.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept GA special
from Topeka, Kan, last night says:
The Kansas Independent, a populist
paper, will publish letter Friday from
citizen of Duluth to its editor, /. w.
Pack, which purports to expose con-
spiracy on the part of the insur-
ance companies and the chief of
police of Topeka to arrest William
Schnell and palm him off for
George w. Fraker, of life insurance
fame. The letter is written by a
German of the name of Harberger. and
is to the effect, that Fraker or Schnell
is crazy hermit, whose great ambi-
ton is to achieve notoriety. The author
of the letter declares that il can easily
be proven that Schnell has lived in the
woods OF Minnesota and Wisconsin for
years, and that he passed in the local!
ity where he was arrested as King
Of the Forest" 1t is alleged that it
is not the intention of the insurance
companies to push his prosecution
after the money handed over to
Fraker's executors has been recovered.
1t explains that the reason why
Fraker's companion in Minnesota was
not taken into custody was that he
would swear that the prisoner is not
Fraker and furnish the names of any
number of witnesses Who would SO
testify.
]. P. Davis, president of the Kansas
Mutual Life Insurance Co., in an in
terview last night, said there was no
doubt of Fraker's identity, and that no
effort would be made to secure the re-
turn of the insurance money until
all interested admitted il. He said
that he believed Fraker would be
sent to the penitentiary, although he
admitted that number of prominent
Kansas and Missouri attorneys whom
he had consulted had expressed the
opinion that he could be convicted of

ORNAMENTAL TRUNK COVER.
A Neat and serviceable Article for Hom'

A Neat and Sersiceable Article for Home
Use.
So many women of the present day
either board or live in fats that de-
vices for making trunks presentable
objects are not without their value.
Even the woman who has a whole
room will be pleased to hide the travel
worn exterior of her trunk either at
home or in her room at country house
or seashore cottage. A material de-
sirable for a cover is gray or buff
linen, strong and serviceable. Seven
pieces cut to fit the sides, ends and
top, are sewed together firmly on the
sewing machine and then bound with
brown braid. Before the pieces are
put together the decoration is put on.
1t may be simple or elaborate. accord
ing to fancy. but as the cover will be
taken off in travelling there is no fear
of injury to handsome needlework.
For the cover outline stitch and ring
work are all used. Long leaves from
center to corners are painted adult
peacock blue, with outline and VEIN
ing in outline stitch in dark olive. A
crackle all-over pattern for background
is done with fine lines of brown paint.
Circles set in the center and between
each leaf are made of brass rings
worked over with simple crochet in
brown silk. In the end pieces open
iugs should be cut and bound TO let the
handles through. The cover should be
held down by little straps and buttons.
A simple cover may be made of the
same material. with a decoration of
brown braid put on in set pattern.
This can be done by the aid of the
braiding attachment that belongs to
almost all kinds of sewing machines.
Very serviceable trunk covers may also
be made of the dark cretonnes which
come in such great varieties and in
shades to harmonic with any and
every carpet and wall paper. For the
top of the trunk before the cover is put
on, a thin mattress of hair or wool
should be provided. In almost every
bedroom an extra place TO hold cloth
ing is welcome, and the modern trunk
is particularly well adapted for the
purpose. Ladies' Home Journal.

TOPEKA. Kan. Sept "a big fight
Is on in Kansas between the stockmen
and the live stock sanitary board. The
commission men at the Kansas City
stock yards telegraphed the governor
demanding the reorganization of the
board. They give as a reason the fact
that two members of the present board
constituting majority, publish broad
cast every report of Texas fever in any
community in the state in order to JUS
tify the collection of cents head in
inspection fees on cattle shipped from
Texas. New Mexico and Arizona through
Kansas to market. The present board,
without authority of law, it is alleged,
keeps two inspectors in the southwest
territory. who make the ranchmen pay
cents 4 head for all shipments into
and through the state.
