WOULD YOU THINK THAT

Until some recent discoveries by Prof.
Saussier, of Vevey, Switzerland, it was
not suspected that fishes were affected by
music.
In shallow inlet Prof Saussier found
a queer arrangement of strings in the wa
ter which demanded examination View
Ing the affair from a distance with a water
telescope he saw that some fishes, which
had by the usual painful method gained
possession of several fragments OF fishline,
were passing them around two sticks
thrust into the water by some fisherman.
When the strings were strung, the stakes
were wedged apart by piling stones between
them SO as tn tighten the strings, three or
four fishes rolling stone along the bot
tom with their noses.
The operation was necessarily slow
The professor watched 1t at intervals for
two OF three days. Finally, when all was
ready, the largest fish seized a stick or bone,
and, using it as plectrum, twangled the
strings with it, while the other fishes gath
cred around to hear the music OF course,
there was none, as the submerged strings
refused to sound.
After several trials, the fishes tore up
their water harp in disgust. They had
probably caught their idea from Aimee
Saussier, the professors daughter, who
was in the habit of playing harp on the
bank.

So many laps were allowed in return for

WICHITA, Kan, May 6-Ex-Governor
Lewelling when asked to give u state
ment in reference to the butter transac-
ton testified to by Mrs. Lease before the
investig ating committee at Topeka, said:
81 have no desire to enter into any
controversy with Mrs. Lease or anybody
else. Mrs. Lease evidently desires to
place the responsibility of what she pro-
claims as bad butter contract on Sena-
tor Householder and the board.
about the butter business, all there is
to it is this: Just before l retired from
office l met the stewards of the two asy
lums at Topeka and Osawatomie, and
while talking about other matters the
subject of butter and my future business
was brought up l contracted with each
of them for single shipment of butter,
to be filled by the house at Wichita Ali
this conversation was with the stewards
of the institutions named, and not with
the members or any one member of the
board of charities.
The first shipment of butter, as or
dered by the stewards, was made before
| had assumed control of the business
here. My term of office expiring and
not having as much money as l was
credited with, I was simply looking for
ward to a business transaction for the
future.
The butter shipped to Ossawatomie
appears to have given perfect satisfac
ton, but the shipment made to Topeka
from some mysterious reason, appears
not to have done SO.
"Of one thing l am certain, and tha
is this-when found that the contrac
made by the two officers was not satisfac
tory to every member of the board
further shipments were discontinued.
There was no politics in the transac
ton whatever. l did not make the con
tract as governor, but as private citizen
with two men, not politicians, not ever
of my political belief"

Stops in Topeka for a Few Hours This
Afternoon.
President James Fl. Garfield of the
Nebraska state university is in Topeka
for short visit
President Garfield will assume his
dudes as president of the state university
of Ohio on July 1. He says that he
would like very much to live in the west,
but there are other considerations
than the position which induces
him to go TO Ohio. His father,
who has been a helpless paralytic for
five years lives in the east. only few
hours ride from Colum bus and he greatly
desires that his son should be near him.
President Garfield came west 81 years
ago and it has been his home ever since.
He worked on a railroad and was after
ward perintendent of construction and
built the first bridge ever put across the
Mississippi river.
He will deliver the annual address at
the commencement at Ann Arbor and
will then go to Ohio to assume his
duties.
Dr. James d. Garfield, the new pref
dent of Ohio university at Columbus,
is graduate of Williams college, and
has won considerable reputation as al
educator and advocate of tariff reform.
He was bern in Delaware, O., March
10, 1847, but his father, Rev. DR.. E. H.
Garfield, soon removed to Brooklyn.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room .. Columbian Building.
Wheat : The general rains, with
lower cables and slack demand for
cash wheat have apparently heavy
realizing. Whether speculative senti-
ment is still sufficiently bullish to
prevent material decline at this time is
a question. but that it is, and that a good
advance is due sooner or later seems
reasonably certain. About the only bull
lish act today is the big decrease in the
visible. The Russian exports last
week were again very large,
million, and Argentine sent
over 100000 bushels. The elevator
people have delivered out 4, 100000 wheat
and this urges shippers TO take ali they
want at the May price. The warehouse
men say they will not take
it back except at the full CARRYING
charges between May and July which is
about cents. The prospects are not
cheering to the enthusiastic bulls who
tried to get hold of cash wheat at "a
under July In the firm conviction it
would sell at premium.
Corn aud oats were held up in the early
| part of the session but slumped of with
later on the bulls thinking it advisable
to secure profits before they melted
away altogether The shipping demand
was considerably larger than expected
and saved the market from a further
decline
Provisions dull and featureless.

He then went west to grow up with

A Young COlOred Man Who Eats

Glass at Kansas City.

LAWRENCE, May "a sensation was
sprung last Saturday night by the action
of the Sigma NJ fraternity in expelling
from its membership Mr.. G. R TroxeL
Mr. TroxeI is now a law student, having
been in the school of arts for four years.
His friends claim that he has been the
soul and body of the chapter for the past
! two years. Most of the political moves
made for the fraternity have been ac-
complished by him and he has great in
fuence in the student body. Prof Engel
of the university, a Sigma M, has been
active in the fight against him. With
Engel, also were J. w. Harrington and
E. I. Hackney. Clarence Sears. mem
Der of the fraternity, sat as judge in the
"triaL" Mr.. Sears is a lawyer living IN
Lawrence. There was a large attend
ance of members. Mr.. Troxel's friends
were there, as were also those opposed
to him.
The charge wGs brought that Troxel
had been guilty of "betraying fraternity
secrets, bringing beer into the fraternity
hall and of being crooked in his dealings
with the University Courier last fall" A
brother Sigma NJ from Kansas City
was down to put in a good word
! for Troxel, but he was not allowed
to talk. As result of the meeting
which lasted from 1880 p IN. Till 1:5V g.
m, Troxel was expelled from the mem
bership of the chapter He has not as
yet decided as to whether he will appeal
to the grand chapter of the Sigma M
or not.
The Sigma NJ is fraternity which
has a number of chapters in the south,
but few anywhere else. 1t is not a social
! fraternity and is not looked upon at the
university with favor by the other fra
ternities or by the "barbs." Troxel has q
great many friends and with their aid he
promises to make it decidedly hot for
his brothers. He thinks it is treating
him very unfairly for the Sigma NJ tc
drink up his beer at the hall and then
turn squarely around and expel him fol-
