AN UNLOADED GUN
Gets in Its Deadly Work at East Bir- mingham-Fatal End of q Play
 at Gun Snapping.

An unloaded @ gun got in it's deadly work at East Birmingham yesterday after noon.
 Walter Shelton, white boy about 12 years old, was playing with negro boy named Hill of about thea same age. They were in barn near the Shelton home and had shotgun. It seems they would take turn about pointing thisiat each other, at the same time snapping 1t. They had mo- ticed that no cap was on the tube and did not fear anything serious from such sport.
 They put the gun down for few minutes and walked little distance away. While they were not watching, it is said, brother of the negro boy slipped up and put cap on the gun.
 Returning, the Shelton boy picked up the gun aud poi nted it at the little negro, at the same time snapping it.. Instead of snapping, however, the gun fired, and a load of shot entered the latter's face, pro- ducing instant death.
 The Shelton boy did not notice the gun closely when he picked it up, and only dis. covered that it was loaded when he heard the report.

MADE STATE ACCOUNTANT.
j. E. Cha1Iinor of Kansas City Appointed
BY Gov. morrill,.

j. E. Cha1linor of Kansas City Appointed
BY Gov. morrill,.
Governor Morrill, today named ]. E.
Challinor, of Kansas City, Kansas, as
state accountant
State accountant is a new job which
was created by the last legislature at the
instance of Governor Morrill,, who wants
some one to keep track of the various
state boards and report to him where
they spend their money.
The position of state accountant is
worth s., 800 year, and there were but
two known applicants for the position,
Schilling of Hiawatha.
Mr.. ChaIlinor, the man who was today
appointed TO that position, is said 10 be
an expert accountant who has for several
years been employed in that capacity by
the various Kansas City packing houses
Mr.. Challinor has recently been en-
ployed at Fowler's packing house.
State Senator Edwin Taylor of Wyan-
dotte county, who was here today as a
member of the penitentiary investiga-
ton committee, when asked about Mr.
Challinor, said he had never heard of
him and did not know such man.
Mr.. Challinor is an entirely new man
in political circles, and not single man
has been seen in Topeka today who
knows him.
1t is said that the Kansas City packing
houses having contributed largely to the
Republican campaign fund last fall,
their endorsements were considered in
the matter of two appointments, one of
which made Mr.. Challinor state &C
countant today and the other caused the
appointment of W. G. Bird as labor COM
missioner a few weeks ago.

Bicycles.
$4,000
Bicycle for

We have often been importuned to deal
in Bicycles, but steadfastly refused,
because we could not buv the high
est grade of Bicycles and sell them
as we do Dry Goods, etc, and there
fore could not benefit you-our GUS
toners. Time was when patents on
different parts of the Bicycle held
the price up so high that it forbade
the selling on the same basis we do
other lines of merchandise. Now the
most important patents have expired
the field of Bicycle manufacture is
open to anyone After much inves-
LEGATION and careful examination of
various samples sent US by leading
manufaet urers Of the country-we
have selected the highest grade
wheel we could find. We have bought
$50 of these regular 500 High Grade
Bicycles and will sell them for $50
each.
This wheel is the ''Tuxedo'-in
both ladies' and mems styles.
Every intelligent bicyclist knows
z that wheel costs nowhere near 800.
When you pay 500 for wheel you
are paying the agents an enormous
profit. They, as a rule, have large
expenses-se1l on the installment
plan, etc. What we are going to do
is to strip the bicycle of all extrava-
CANT expenses and sell it to you on
the same basis of profit as we do our
general lines of merchandise-we are
going to sell $50 of the highest grade
bicvclas

Gen. ]. A. Smith, superintendent of the
Yankton reservation telegraphed the
interior department at Washington this
morning that he was unable to cope with

A YOUNG WoMAN's INFLUENCE.

Miss Meridtth Credited With Getting the
Hutchinson RefOrmatory Appropriation.
Representative Bone of Clark, said to
a Wichita reporter, Monday: "Do you
know that the one who got the biggest
appropriation for western Kansas, from
the legislature, was a young woman?
Well it was. The largest appropriation
given was that for the completion of the
reform atory at Hutchinson, and Miss
Edith Meridith secured it. Her father
worked like Trojan for the bill, and of
course did much to secure its passage,
but it is doubtful whether he would have
been successful were it not Tor his pop
ular daughter. When the bill passed
the house, to a great extent due to her
diplomacy, she followed it to the senate,
and to my personal knowledge prevent
ed its slaughter there. Oh, l tell you,
the power and influence of bright
young woman cannot be over estimated
