WARRANT FOR ARREST
Man Who In Accused of breach OF Conf
deDce With q Woman.

Yesterday County Attorney Davis is
sued a warrant for one Leonard Panten-
burg, who resides near Cheney, for grand
larceny.
The story is queer one. About
year or so ago a man named Ferness
was arrested and confined in the county
jail for stealing plow from a neighbor
named Brabush. Pending his trial Mr.
Pantenburg, according TO the allegation,
approached Mrs. Ferness and prevailed
on her to give him a bill of sale to her
property, telling her that if she did not
the county would take it all from her 70
satisfy the costs accruing in the case.
She believed him and thinking it the wis
est thing to do she gave him a bill Of
sale for nearly all herproperty and in
taking il into his possession ne also took
property not included in the bill of sale
When the time came that Pantenburg
should have given back the property he
failed to do so and hence the proceedings
against him.

HIS MIND TWISTED
Pete Stewart Ima>Ines some One Wants to
Kill Him.

Sheriff Cone returned from Wellington
last night having in charge Peter Stew
art, a farmer, living near Clearwater.
Stewart went down to Wellington Sum-
day to visit a sister and was in excel
lent health until Tuesday night, when
he imagined that somebody wanted to
kill him. In the middle Of the night he
stole away from the house and wandered
around until about noon yesterday, when
Deputy Sheriff Charles Sawyer found
him. He was then in such a condition
that his friends were afraid of him ana
Sheriff Cone was asked by telephone To-
come after him. On his way up last
night he was very nervous and ne
crouched IN the seat and kept asking
Sheriff Cone to protect him. His case
is a sad one. He will be tried for in
sanity before Judge Myatt, today.

SCHOOL BOY SHOT
Careless Use of q Revolver Inhicts Severe
Wound on Boy.

Little George Green, son of ex-Con-
stable Green, was shot in the thigh yes
terday afternoon and badly wounded.
The ball first passed through his finger
and disabled that member. When it was
found by DR.. Neuman it was embedded
near the bone. The boy was shot by a
schoolmate named Whitaker Both were
coming home from the Lincoln Street
school when Green asked Whitaker to
see his revolver. In pulling the weapon
from his pocket it was discharged with
the above result.
Mr.. Green. the father of the boy, is
righteously indignant because boys OF
that age are allowed to carry revolvers,
especially to school. Ii was fortunate
that the bullet did not wound young
Green, as il might have done, in the vital
spot. AS it is he will be laid up for
some time

Trucks of . Santa Fe Train Give Way and
Cause Trouble.

Last evening little wreck occurred
on the Santa Fe road between Belle
Plaine and Wellington. The mixed
train that started from Mulvane was
the victim. The trucks of one of the
freight cars gave way and smash-up
was the result. There were nine pas
sengers on the train and they were all
taken to Wellington on the engine, CIV
ing some of them an exciting trip.
Among the passengers was Sheriff Cone

TO MEASURE A CORAL REEF.
The Object of an Expedition That Lately
 Left Australia.

Left Australia.
 An attempt is now being made, un- der the auspices of the Royal society, 10 ascertain the actual thickness of a coral reef. An expedition has started from Sydney, in her majesty's ship Pen. guin, in order to make deep boring at Funafuti, one of the Ellice islands. The idea was started five or six years ago by Prof. Sollas, of Dublin, and after discussion at meetings of the British association, was brought before the government grant committee of ths Royal society last year, by whom it was referred to the council of that society. This body made application to the ad. miralty, who permitted her majesty's ship Penguin, now engaged in survey ing in those seas, to convey the mem- hers of the expedition and their ap- paratus thither from Sydney, and to as. sist them during the progress of ths | work.
 The government of New South Wales, on being approached by Prof. Stuart, of the University of Sydney, and other men of science in that place, have lent to the expedition all the "plant" necessary for boring and their own skilled workmen, contributing to the payment of their wages and in every way cordially cos operating. A sum of over e900 has been furnished by the Royal society, from the government grant and other sources. Prof. Sollas, with the other members of the expedition, is now on his way on board the Penguin to Funa- futi. It is intended to make boring into the atoll to depth of not less than 1000 feet, and to collect all the informa- tion possible about the growth and history of coral reef. On this subject the examination, if no ill-fortune await the expedition, can hardly fail to throw much light, and to help in clearing up controversy which has now been waged for some time as to whether Darwin was right or wrong in attrib. uting atolls and barrier reefs to the subsistence of an area on which coral was growing.-London Standard.

WERE THEY MARRIED?
A Young Couple Duly Dissected and

A Young Couple Duly Dissected and Talked Over.
 They were coming away from the theater and they fell to discussing the young couple who sat in front of them.
 "They are evidently married" said the girl in the Persian waist; q mo- ticed that they didn't exchange a word while the curtain was down."
 "Nonsense; they are merely en- gaged,' said the girl in the black gown: "I heard him tell her that he did not consider the leading lady even pretty"
 "Perhaps they are merely brother and sister, suggested the young man of the party.
 "No, they weren't" said the girl in the Persian waist; "he'd have gone out between the acts if he was only her brother, while an engaged man wouldn't want to leave her, and-'
 "A newly-married man would not dare to-" broke in the girl in the black gown.
 ''She took off her hat as soon as she came in," remarked the young man. "That looks as if she was married and in the habit of consulting the feelings of some one else"
 Or that they were not really engaged yet and she wanted to show him how considerate she could be-" said the girl in the black gown.
 "Or that she was merely conscious of having pretty hair." said the girl in the Persian waist. Twill you wager a box of chocolates that they are not ma-- ried?"
 "I-Fd rather you ladies would settle it between you," said the young man. hastily. "You have so much more in- sight in such matters, you know"
 '"There they come now" said the girl in the Persian waist. Let us notica what they do and perhaps we can de- eide. If they are merely friends they will stop for cream. soda and-'
 "If they are engaged she will tell him how hungry she is, and they will stop for supper" said the young man. bitterly.
 "While if they are married" went on the girl in the Persian waist, "he--there, what did tell you?"
 The couple paused before cigar shop and he went in, while she waited at the door.
 "You were right" said the girl in the black gown, "they are married."- Chicago Times-Herald.

PtneaDDle panca k es,

The Germans make these by adding stewed pineapple to plain pancake batter of eggs, flour, and milk. Pour out the batter into buttered frying pan that is large enough to cook it all. The pan should be not less than la inches in diameter, and the batter thin. When the batter has been poured into the pan, cover it at once with stewetI pineapples and dredge them with powdered sugar. Put the pan in a quick oven and bake seven minutes: cut the cake into triangular pieces, like pie, when served.-Good Housekeeping.
