tanned a $40 piece reduced to bullion would
still be worth 500. On this asseyeration
he bet $l5, and to prove his claim ham
mered $40 gold piece into lump in
which all semblance of money was lost.
Then be took the bullion to manufac-
turing jeweler, where they buy gold. and
after explaining the nature of his wager,
asked for $50 piece in exchange for the
gold. The jeweler offered him so for it.
The smart young man was indignant,
but after trying dozen other jewellers
and money loaners he finally disposed OF
it to the highest bidder for $1l.25, being
out of pocket just 1915 in addition to his
SIS wager. His silver friends have been
giving him the ha-ha ever since.

A couple OF snake s,or,e..

Snake and fsh stories are generally
taken with considerable allowance, but
here are couple Of the serpent variety
that will be new to The HERALD readers
and the truth OF which are vouehed for
by their narrators. The first is told by
j. X. Mulligan, who claims that with the,
assistance of Nels Short, he killed a snake,
on the Upper Natcheez, that had two
heads, one at either end of its body.
There have been rumors that such snakes
inhabited the locality named, and Mr..
Mnlligan says that Scott Stevens, who
lives some twenty miles up the valley,
has killed tour OF this species.
DR.. Hill is authority for the other
story. 1t dated some years back, while
he was resident OF Goldendale, klicki-
tat county. One day early 10 the spring
man came to town with the information
that some men, who were blasting rock
near the Columbia, had unearthed big
den of ratllesnakes. The account was so
marvellous that the doctor made one OF a
party that started to investigate. 1t was
a days ride distant, but they were well
repaid for the trip. They found there
bad been no exaggeration In the account
for there was a mass of rattlers, all
curled and entwined together, 'half
as large as a billiard table," as the
doctor expressed it. They were ia a
state of torpor, as is their condition
throughout the winter and early spring,
and the odor was oyerpowering and sick
ening. The men could not continue
their work under such conditions, so
several plans were considered for the
destruction of the pest, but that finally
adopted was to roll the huge ball TO the
bluff and then over into the river. This
was done, it requiring the services Of the
entire party to carry it into execution.

According to his story he was en-
gagged by BarnatO at a salary of S15,-
600 a year. He was commissioned, so
he said, to go up into the KOOtehay
mining district, in British Columbia,
where BarnatO has interests.
After he had descanted upon his good
luck for some time he took from his
pocket some small pictorial paper
leaflets and handed them to Mr.. Dun
ming, telling him to give them to his
children. as they would amuse them.
Some time after it occurred to Mr..
Dunning to look them over, and as he
did so what was his surprise to run
across a pawnticlxet given on July 9
by a New York pawndealer. 1t was
the amount realized, however, and the

Just before he left for Cleveland
Chairman Hanna said he was not SER

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
Big Men Among the Railroad
BrOtherhOOds
Not Here on a Special Case
Entirely.
They Come to Talk Over a Rear
rangement of Several Rules on
the Santa Fe, Particularly
the Seniority Rule

It now appears that Mr.. A. B. Gar
rettson, grand senior conductor of the
Order Of Railway Conductors, and p
II. Morrisey, grand chief of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, did not
come to Topeka from Cedar Rapids and
Peoria respectively for the sole pur-
pose of adjusting a local grievance in
the matter of disciplining a train crew.
Although such a grievance may be
brought UP while in conference with
the Santa Fe officials, it is understood
that the real purpose of their visit is
in reference to the rules governing
train employees.
While in session in this city June 2
and ), the general grievance committee
of the Is. of r. T. of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn had up for consideration number
of grievances resulting from the sup
posed violation Of these rules, espe-
cially the seniority rule. Also num-
Der resulting from the different inter
pretatiOns of the rules by different di-
vision officials. At that time a COM
mittee waited upon General Super
intendent Nudge, who advised them to
take the matter up with the division
officials. If this has been done, it is
pro BILE that a satisfactory agreement
has not been reached, as the general
officials are NOW called upon to adjust
the matter.
There seems to be much dissatisfac-
ton among the trainmen in regard to
the manner IN which the present rules
are handled by the division officials
They complain that the seniority rule
is violated by the promotion of younger
men in point of service, and that almost
every rule in the entire code OF rules
is interpreted in a different manner by
the different officials. If possible they
would like a uniform Interpretation.
Messrs. Garrettson, MOrrisey, Thorn
burg and Scott called upon General Su-
perintendent Nudge yesterday after
noon. but were informed by Mr.. Nudge
that he had no authority to adjust the
matter. A conference will now be held
with General Manager Frey as soon as
he returns from Colorado.
1t is altogether proba bic that the mat
ter Will be adjusted satisfactorily to the
trainmen. If not, troublesome diff
ference might occur between the COM
pany and the train employees.

esSiluer DeIepates.

UNDERSIGNED Committee of Transpor-
tation have considered the question of
routes and rates and recommended all
delegates and their friends expecting
to attend the convention on the 22d at
St Louis should. wherever practicable,
travel via the Santa Fe and Wabash.
The first mentioned road is more ac-
cessible to the different parts of the
state and with a train service of more
convenient hours and more frequent
intervals than others and can cOncen-
trate a larger number Of delegates and
others at Topeka and Kansas City at
the same hours.
1t is important and especially desir-
able that delegates and interested visi-
tors to the convention form a body as
early on the way as possible for con-
sultatiOn en- route and this can best be
done via the route mentioned than any
other This is especially true of dele
gates to the Silver convention and in
asmuch as uniformity of action with
the delegates to the other body is hoped
for we deem it desirable to travel In
connection with them for acquain-
tanceship and interchanges Of views
All delegates should arrange to start
in time to reach Kansas City on the
evening of Sunday, July the 18th.

NO CAUSE FOE ALARM.
Judge Dennison of the Appellate Court
Reassures Parties Divorced and
Married.

To Editor Topeka State Journal
The Kansas court of appeals of the
southern department have held that
statute which authorized husband and
wife to testify for or against each other
in an action for divorce to be unconst1-
tutional because no mention is made of
such a subject in the title of the act
This does not invalidate DEGREES of di-
vOrce which have been heretofore rem
dered and from which no appeal has
been taken within the time allowed by
law. If the trial court errs in admit
ting the testimony of either party the
other side must object to the ruling and
save proper exceptions thereto and
procure a reversal by the supreme
court. Otherwise the error is waived
and the decree is legal.
Impressions contrary to this have
been widely published and many people
who have been divorced in Kansas are
much exercised for fear their DEGREES
of divorce are void, their subsequent
marriages illegal and the children of
such marriages illegitimate. Being
such a serious subject and the cOnse-
quences so alarming if the published
statements should be correct I have
deemed it my duty to explain this mat
ter.
feel at perfect liberty to express my
self upon this subject because the
courts of appeals have no jurisdiction
in actions for divorce Our court only
has jurisdiction in certain actions for
alimOny.
The constitutional question was rails
ed by Judge B. F. Milton of Dodge City
who is the Populist nominee for judge
of the court of appeals, in the case of
Shepherd VS.. Shepherd which is an ac-
ton for alimony. Respectfully,

AERONAUT's FATAL FALL.
Descends Over Two Hundred Feet
Before 10000 People.

Woodbury., N. J., July Plat Wash
ington park yesterday about 10000 ex-
cursiOnists from this place and sur
rounding towns witnessed a shocking
sight. There were different amuse-
ments, among them a balloon ascen-
sion.
When Charles Raymond, known as
the boy aeronaut," stepped into his
balloon there was hardly standing room
in the park. He assembled several hun
dred feet, when a gap was torn in his
balloon. The balloon was cut loose
and the parachute hoated eastward.
Raymond amused the crowd for time
with acrobatic feats. When he was
about 200 feet from the ground he lost
his hold on the bar of the parachute
and fell to the ground.
As his body was descending there
was the greatest excitement in the
park Many women tainted, others
screamed and became hysterical, and
there was a small sized panic.
The doctors who attended him said
he could not recover.
