AN OLD INDIAN FORT
Discovered Near Minneapolis, Kan, an,
Visited by Gov. Riddle.

Visited by GOV. Riddle.
MINNEAPOLIS, July lex Lieutenant
Governor Riddle has visited the old In
dian fort lately unearthed near this place
and writes quite an interesting descrip-
ton of it. 1t is on the farm of man
named Duncan.
On the west side of his farm there is a
high bluff; on top of this bluff the In
dian fort is located. The mound or fort
is about $50 feet in circumference, form
ing a perfect circle. The fort was built
of many different kinds of stone, and
none so large that strong man could not
carry. Of course the fort tumbled in
many years ago, and it will take time to
get down into the interior, which Dun
can will do Lots of curiosities have
been found there in the way of f1ints,
arrow heads and other stone instruments
of war

SANTA FE REFUSES no PAY TAxEs
A Dispute in Clark County and a Law Suit
Probable.


Probable.
ASHLAND, Kan, July 13.-There is war
on again between the Santa Fe and the
county treasurer over payment of taxes.
It seems the railroad is delinquent.
Tuesday evening two gentlemen from
the tax department of the road appeared
before the board and made tender of
money to pay the tax but it was some
$445 short of the amount assessed and
was refused.
One of the objections the railroad has
to paying the amount charged involves
$133 and penalties due this school dis
trict The company holds that the spe-
cial levy of 90 mills to pay off judgment
in addition to the 10 mill levy for other
purposes is illegal and excessive. The
law appears to justify and authorize a
special levy for judgments, SO the county
attorney claims. and the contention will
probably be taken into court

Agreed with His Cross Examiner.

Mr.. James Hyde, once lawyer in e
small town on Long Island, tells good
story about himself. He says:
''It was when used to practice law
in little town near the center OF the
state. A farmer had one of his neighbors
arrested for stealing ducks, and was
employed by the accused to endeavor to
convince the court that such was not the
case. The plaintiff was positive that his
neighbor was guilty because he had seen
the ducks in the defendants yard.
"'How do you know they are your
ducks?' l asked.
ooh, should know my own ducks
anywhereP replied the farmer, and no
gave description of their various pc
ouliarities whereby he could readily dis
tinguish them from others.
"'Why, said l, those ducks can't be
of such rare breed. Ihave seen some just
ils them in my own yard.
""That's not at all unlikely, replied
the farmer, for they are not the only
ducks have had stolen lately. In.

with chopstioks to stir the fire with, and
q water kettle made the hall cozy, and
little lacquer table, foot square and
about inches high, with couple of
tiny little plates and bowl, made the
dining room quite complete and replete

The Tailor Tells How the Coat Collar II
Quickly Ruined.
The most difficult thing to at on a
man is coat collar, and it is the easiest
thing to get out of shape, except per-
haps the knees of the trousers. A tailor
molds and shapes collar with his hands
and hot goose to conform with the meas
urements he has taken of the shape Of
an individuals shoulders, and it does
not take a great deal of i'll usage to de-
stroy his work
1.-The worst enemy coat collar has, I"
said the tailor, lis the colored boy who
brushes your clothes in the barber shop,
hotel or sleeping car. When he helps
you on With your overcoat, he reaches
under for your ooattails, grasps the
oyercoat collar with the other hand and
gives your undercoat two or three smart
jerks, which pulls the collar down and
away from the neck and punches it on
the shoulders, and the overcoat finishes
the work of destroying its shape. This
should never be allowed under any con-
sideration.
The proper way to keep the coat col
far in place is to shrug your shoulders
forward after you have put the coat on.
The collar will then fall into place on
your neck; the cloth will adjust itself to
the shape of your shoulders and stay
there. Don't pull the collar about, and
don't, above all, allow the brush boy to
pull your coat out of shape under the
pretense Of getting your overcoat on
your shoulders

TRYING A BIG TELESCOPE.
Preliminary Test of the Forty Inch Lens
For the YeTkes Observatory,

Preliminary Test of the Forty Inch Lenss,
For the Yerkes Observatory.
In Cambridge on Sunday evening
there was an experimental test of the
great 40 inch telescope now being made
for the University of Chicago by Pro.
fessor G. E. Hale, the astronomer, IN
der whose dictatorship the new Yerkes
observatory of the University of Chi
cago will enter upon its career; a friend
of his, rising young physicist last
connected with the Massachusetts in
stitute of technology; Mr.. Clark and his
assistants. The great lenses the largest
that the world has ever seen, each Of
them equal in diameter very nearly to
an ordinary buggy wheel, weighing
with their mountings more than 1900
pounds, were maintained in their posi-
ton high in air by great steel tube,
SO feet in length and seeming in the
dimness of the night almost intermina-
BILE. The ponderous tube is poised mid
way upon great shaft, which permits
free motion in every direction, and this
again is perohed upon a massive pier Of
masonry capable OF upholding in safety
the tons Of weight which it is called
upon to bear.
Mounting the stepladder which serv-
ed as a temporary observing chair, Pro-
fessor Hale placed his critical eye at
the tube, and then in deliberate success
sion applied the different tests known
to astronomers. To the uneducated eye
the glass on this preliminary test was
truly at perfection, but the trained eyes
of the experts caught points at times
whereby the delicacy of the instrument
might be increased. Then the planet
Mars came within range of the instru.
ment
The first view of this object by Pro.
fessor Hale brought forth EXPLANATIONS
of delight, for this telescope by far ex-
ceeded in light collecting ability any
instrument which he had previously
turned upon the planet. Mars showed
itself as a great reddish yellow disk,
whose clean cut edges attested the ex-
cellence of the instrument. Its bright
ness with 40 inches of aperture was al.
most sufficient to blind the eye, and its
great disk was figured with the dark
and light markings which define its to-
Biography. For an hour or more the plan
ct was kept in view, deIighting every
one of the assembled group with the
splendor of the sight Then began
search for the satellites. These are faint
stars. visible at their best only with
good apertures, and so close to the
planet as to be hardly beyond the glare
Of light which it diffuses. The outer
one, Deimos, was easily caught but
for some time Phobos, its companion,
could not be discerned It was at last
seen by Mr.. Clark almost against the
body Of its principal, and for nearly
half an hour it was followed by the diff.
ferent members of the company.
The lenses, excellent as they have
proved to be, will again be placed in
the shop, and with the knowledge gain
ed of their minor inaccuracies of figure |
they will again undergo local treatment
until they reach that high standard !
which has placed the Clark glasses al
ways in the van in point of interesting
discovery. Boston Tran.
