WHO ROBBED THE DEAD?
Mystery of the Disappearance of a Large
Diamond Worn by Captain Smith.

Mystery of the Disappearance of a Large
Diamond Worn by Captain Smith.
There is considerable of a mystery
surrounding a large diamond which Cap.
tain John Smith of Cherokee county
wore at the time of his death His son,
Harry Smith, is in Topeka trying to find
some trace of the diamond.
Captain Smith died suddenly in Topeka
during the legislature of heart failure.
His death occurred at the wash room of
the Copeland hotel When Captain Smith
died he wore on his shirt bosom a dia-
mond stud valued at $3.50. Asa Bum
and several others who stood over him
are willing to make afidavits that he
had the diamond on his shirt as he was
stretched out on the Copeland floor.
Between that time and the time when
the body was prepared for the inspection
of his friends the diamond was lost
Friends of the captain insist that the
diamond was lost or stolen between the
time he fell at the Copeland hotel and
his removal to Undertaken Palmer's
rooms. 1t was not in the shirt when the
undertaker's men arrived to take care of
the remains. The theft would have been
an easy matter for a person disposed to
rob the dead.
Harry Smith says he would gladly give
$500 or twice the value of the stone for
its return, as it was valued for associa-
tons sake.

Out of this also should come the May
vouchers and outstanding warrants
T. A. Beck suggested a plan last night
which met with the approval of all
of the members, and which may result
in saving considerable money on the
item of insurance, Mr.. Beck's idea is to
stop paying the present exhorbitant rate
to the old line companies and establish
ing an insurance fund which will be am
pie to meet all reasonable fire losses.
Mr.. Beck being chairman of the build
ing committee has charge of the insur-
ance on all of the school property in
Topeka. He says:
"For ten years we have been paving
insurance on twenty odd school buildings
in Topeka, and in all that time we have
had only one loss-the Sumner building.
1t seems to me the board would save
money by creating its own insurance
fund. In few years it would be ample
to more than meet all reasonable losses.
There is no possibility that more than
two or three of the buildings will burn,
unless the whole city burns up, for the
schools are all far apart. In the big
cities the large owners of residence or
business property do business on this
plan, and save money by it, besides saw
ing no end of trouble, in case of fire,
VIII LAo OJuSterS. we WOuIU DS III d
position to do our own adjusting 1 am
reminded by this idea of the fact that we
must soon pay 5000 cash to renew part
of our policies"
1t was decided that the clerk should
prepare statement showing the amount
of money paid out every year for the
past ten years for insurance. The board
proposes to figure on the problem, and if
they find that they can save money by
doing their own insuring, as they no
doubt can, this plan will be adopted.

SALARIES TO GO UP.
The Ten Per Cent Cut on Teachers
Wages Restored.
BOARD HAS AN INSURANCE PLAN

Which Will save Money by Net Pay
ing Out such Large sums to Insur-
ance Companies.
The school teachers of Topeka will be
delighted to learn that the 10 per cent
cut in their salaries which has been in
effect a year or more will beyond all
doubt be restored when the schools open
next fall.
Last night at the meeting of the board
of education Jesse Shaw, chairman of
the finance committee, submitted state
ment in relation to the school funds,
which shows that the board will have
not far from $4,000 a month on which
to run the schools of Topeka
from September until January /, 1896.
The statement was made in order that
the board might know how much money
it has at its disposal. The statement is
as follows:

then sat down for Il smoke.
Wouldn't you jest as soon do your

"'Certainly,' said I, 'but you don't
object to the smoke of u cigar, do you:'
l was naturally surprised, for he was
already putting away ut an old corncob

shed and got Il pan of shelled corn. He
sat down on a bench at the cabin door,
rammed down q couple of charges Of
powder and poured Il handful of corr
into each barrel. He put on n percussion
cap, pressed it down with the hammer,
cooked both barrels and blazed away at
the sido hill across tho little gulch.
Tho roar had not died away till u drove
OF hogs camo running, granting and
squealing, and commenced to root tho

Stacked up in their work, tho old man
fired another charge of corn.
