"Sunday afternoon" says the
Hutchinson News, "there was a
strange scene at the reformatory. It
is, the custom after the Sunday
school classes finish their lesson for
the superintendent to give the boys a
talk on the sub ject studied. It was
the first Sunday school Mr.. Hubbard,
of Wabaunsee county, recently
elected principal teacher Of the in
stitution, had been acting as superin
tendent of and he was evidently de
termined to show that eloquence of
the purest brand was his, and that he
ought to be in some position more
commensurate to his greatness. MIR.
Hibbard began we'll. He told the
convicts of Christ and how he always
told the truth. Then he compared
himself as their teacher to Christ,
and assured the boys that they could
depend on anything he should tell
them, whether about religion, morals
or politics, just as they could upon
the teachings of Jesus. In handl-
ing this subject he touched some
high places in eloquence, but the
gem came at the end. He alluded to
the fact that the boys were all con
fined because they were lawbreakers.
There are some laws, he said, which
should be broken. Christ broke the
Jewish law when he plucked corn on
the Sabbath day. 1t is not wrong to
break laws that are wrong. Some
men who are confined for breaking
law are martyrs. I could name
many, and I cannot 60 further with

BY VOLCANIC HEAT.
Factory Built That Will Produce Yellow
Nuggets

Unless Edward c. Brlce and his as
sociates at Chicago have made a mis-
take at some point in their calculations
they Will light the furnace fires Octo-
Der 9 In a factory that Is to produce
gold from the baser metals to the value
OF $2,O00,000. The Record tells the story.
Without claiming a knowledge of the
black art, without calling to his aid
any of the powers of alchemy. Mr..
Brice asserts that he can make gold
that he has made II and sold 1t on the
market on its own merits side by side
with natures product from the noun
tains. The orthodox theory that gold
holds that 1t Is made from other metals
by heat and by volcanic action.
To prove its faith in the inventor and
his theory a company, OF which MIR.
Brice Is the president and heaviest
stockholder, is fitting up plant at
at an expense Of $4,000. The company
is capitalized for $4,000, and not a
dollars worth of the stock Is for sale.
A building that was once a foundry,
103 by 26S feet in dimensions, whose
dingy brown walls give no indication
Of holding secret. is being transform
ed by two score of workmen into this
Chicago "Klondyke." The last layers
of brick on five large furnaces are be-
Ing put in place under the personal su-
pervision OF Mr.. Brice.
These furnaces are of Mr.. Brice's In
vention and form the most important
part of the works. In their compact
ovens volcanic heat, 1t Is claimed, will
be produced, and by subjecting his
combination Of metals to intense heat
in the different furnaces Mr. Brice says
the duh baser metals gradually turn
into the sparkling ore, from which gold
and silver are produced.
The formula held by Mr. Brice Is the
result Of years of study and thousands
of experiments. In 1889, in his labora-
tory at Washington, the experiment
was made in which he says he first
produced gold. Mr. Brice came to Chi
cago three years ago. His experiments
had beeen kept up and in November of
last year some friends Joined with him
and invested few thousands Of dol
lars for the purpose of making the test
which should decide whether gold
could be made at a commercial profit.
From their factory at Fortieth street
and Wentworth avenue, which was
known as the Illinois chemical works,
they turned out, Mr.. Brice says, gold
ore which was sold to the National
smelling works Of Chicago for over 49,
900. The cost of manufacture was, he
declares, about 65 cents to the dollars
worth. In the new establishment 1t

JAPAN's ENTERPRISE.
Money Appropriated to Teach Americans
How to Make Tea.

Several months ago the Japanese
Tea Guild sent to this country spe-
cial commission to investigate the con-
dition Of the Japanese tea trade In the
United States and Canada, and to CO.
operate with its American representa-
tives in giving publicity to the merits
of Japanese teas and the best methods
of preparing them.
Tea bazaars are to be opened In
many of the principal cities In the
United States and Canada, where
ladies can enjoy a cup of fine Japanese
tea made by experts, and at the same
time receive instructions which will
enable them to make 1t equally we'll

sumed In the United States and Cam
Americans apparently do not under
stand how to prepare 1t SO as to de-
velOp its delicious qualities. The
Japanese government has approprt-
ated large fund to aid In prosecute
ing this educational work. The jap
anese Tea Guild has Issued this off1ctaA
recipe for making Japanese tea:
F1rst.-Use a small, dry and thor
oughly clean porcelain teapot.
Second.-Put In one teaspoonful Of
tea leaves for each cup OF tea desired.
pour on the required quantity OF fresh
boiled water, and let stand with closed
lid from two to three minutes. Never
boil the leaves. In order to retain the
natural flavor, Japanese tea leaves
should be kept In tight can OF jar, free
from moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the nat
ural delicate and sweet flavor, neither
sugar nor cream should be used.

AS the tunnel, which had been un-
dertaken from the cellar of beer
house, approached completion the con-
spirators became apprehensive of a
collapse Of a roadway and called in
several Polish masons to build sup
ports. The masons, whose suspions
were aroused, notified the police, and
130 arrests followed.
Among those In custody are four dis
guised German officers, either on leave
or belonging to the Landwehr. who had
been active in the actual work of tun-
neling. A number of merchants and
manufacturers from the town of Lodzi
Poland, are also implicated.

Proceedings Against the Railroad.

Pierpont Morgan, who now practi-

about to engage in a struggle for the
control of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
way. The fight for control of the Bal
timore and Ohio will come Immediate

of the road WILL in behalf Of the Baltf-
more interests and certain New York

coupons on S7,744, 900 of bonds of the
Chicago division, the main line, held
by j. p. Morgan e. CO., will have been

PASSENGERS HELD UP BY BAND|1S.
TRAIN ROBBED.
In Midday, Travellers are Relieved Of Their
Money and Jewelry.

Bandits robbed the south -bound
Rock Island passenger train and all its
passengers last Friday, about FIVE
miles south of Ninco, in the Indian
Territory The railroad and express
onicials have feared a hold-up in that
section for several weeks, and armed
guards have been put aboard ell night
trains at Ell Reno and carried through
TO Chickasha. 1t had not been thought
that the outlaws were bold enough to
attack train in midday. Friday
morning the trainmen were complete
ly surprised, and were not prepared to
oner any resistance when five masked
men came upon them at the lonely
siding.
Under the pressure of Winchesters
and ubly-looking six-shooters, the
trainmen, the express messenger and
all OF the passengers were made to
climb down from the train and stand
IN a line, hands up, on the prairie
along the railway. While three of
the robbers covered the badly-fright-
ned crowd with their guns, the other
two coolly and carefully robbed them,
passing from one passenger to another
down the line. The bandits secured
about 5000 in cash and such other val
uables In the way of watches, pins and
jewelry as were In sight.
The passengers and the trainmen,
having been thoroughly plucked, three
of the bandits turned their attention
to the express and mail coaches, the
Others standing guard over the help
less crowd on the track. The register
ed mail pouches were quickly rifled,
but the through safe in the express
car resisted all the force and the in
genuity of the road agents. When the
messengers had convinced the bandits
that they could not open the strong
box, they resorted to dynamite. Sew
eral heavy charges were exploded, but
the safe proved bandit-proof, and
though It was badly battered, Its con-
tents were saved to the express COM
pany. Having taken forcible possess
sion of everything that they could car
ry away, the bandits mounted their
horses and rode off toward the west.

track of the five men who held up the

A prarie fire, which ragged all over the
country near winnepeg, Manitoba, last
week, being famed and driven by a
gale of wind, died out Sunday night,
and the mornings sun dawned upon
terrible scene of death and devastation.
Farmhouses, implements. crops and
live stock were everywhere consumed,
and many farmers lost their all.

to save his property.
At Oakland, on the Portage branch of
the Northern Pacific railroad. several
hundred cords of wood and thousands
of tons of hay were licked up. Just
southwest of Winnepeg there is a large
hay marsh. and fire was driven over
this, consuming everything in its
course. Nearly every farmer lost his
hay. and many also lost their grain

FEVER INCREASES.
Warm weather and q Disregard for Law
Said to be the Reason.

The state board of health ofTlcials at
New Orleans say: During the twenty
four hours ending Q p. m. Sunday Octo-
ber 3, there were: Cases of yellow few
er to-day, 81; deaths to-day, 2. Total
cases of yellow fever to date, 317; total
deaths to date, 80; total cases absolute
~ recovered, 90; total cases under
treatment, 1SS
Wednesday was a record-breaker In
the number of new cases OF yellow
fever reported at New Orleans, while
the deaths, three In number, equalled
those of any day since the yellow fever
was first discovered In the city.
There are various reasons given for
the spread of the disease, but the prin-
cipal ones are two, that the weather
turned warm again and owing to the
much larger field to cover the board
Of health has had some difficulty in
getting every house as closely guarded
as was possible when the cases were
few In number and the trained officials
of the board were stationed about the
quarantined houses. The fact that the
death rate has been small and that the
chances of an epidemic have been con-
sequently growing less, have made the
general public somewhat careless, and
there has been increasing friction be-
tween the quarantined people and the
authorities. Imprisoned inmates of
houses have been going over back
fences and sneaklng out of side doors
In order not to be confined, and the re-
suit has been that the fever germs that
have been scattered developed rapidly
In these warm days.
There were twenty-four new cases
reported-two of them I'm the Charity
Hospital. three were children in the
Sisters of Charity Convent, one i'm the
Poydras Asylum, and two in the de-
tention. Most Of the cases are among
the well-to-do.
The saddest and most sensational
case reported was that of Mrs. Jennie
Afford, who was stricken with the
fever Tuesday. Edward A. Reppert,
her son-in-law, greatly terrorized, Inn
mediately packed his grip and fled
north, leaving his wife to attend her
mother In a strange city. Mrs. Afford

Salvation Army Secures Loan Of $4,000.
900 To Organize Colonies.

Frederick l.. Booth-Tucker, COM
mander of the Salvation Army in the
United States, this week successfully
negotiated a loan of $5,000,000, which
will be used for the establishment OF
farm colonies throughout the country.
Part of the money will be invested for
the maintenance of the Woodville
colony. on the Panhandle road, near
Pittsburg. BY a well-planned co-op-
erative system the leaders Of the pro-
gressive movement expect to build up
prosperous communities that Will In q
short time overcome the vast debt.
New York capitalists are backing the
commander in his immense UNDER
taking. The Salvation Army coloniza-
ton scheme Is also being encouraged
by the citizens in the various districts
which have been selected.
The farm colony scheme has been
under consideration by the leaders OF
the Salvation Army for a long time.
Only recently, however, has the prop0-
sition been considered to secure large
tracts of land for the purpose. The
first farm to be located was near San
Francisco. 1t Is known as the Golden
Gate farm. So far there are many
signs that 1t will prosper.
