GREEKS HAVE CAPTURED BALTINo
Losses of the Invaders Up to Date
Are InsiGnffcant.


Are insignificant.
LARISSA, April 14.-Trustworthy reports
received here yesterday confirm the state
ments that the Greek irregulars have cap
tured Baltino, in Macedonia. The Turks
lost forty men killed. The insurgent chief
Davelis occupied strong position in the
mountains near Krania. His force was
later attacked by Turkish battalion from
Velimisti, but the Turks were repulsed with
severe loss. The Greeks then assumed the
offensive, cut up the Turkish detachment,
captured eighteen mules, a convoy of pro-
visions and a large quantity of ammunition
and made prisoners of fifteen Turks.
After this success the Greeks advanced to
Kipuri on the road to Grovena, threatening
to cut the communications of the Turkish
central force at Elassona, with Janina, the
Turkish headquarters in Albania.
In all the skirmshes and fighting since
crossing the frontier the Greeks lost only
five men killed and had fifteen men
wounded.
Fresh troops continue to arrive here from
the south A third brigade was formed to-
day to assist in the defense of the frontier.
The enthusiasm of the troops is unabated.
In Macedonia the weather is wet and cold.
but in Thessaly fine weather prevails, per-
mitting the military authorities to COM
plete all preparations for an advance into
Turkish territory, or defend the frontier in
the event of the Turks assuming the often
sive, which is looked upon mere as being
more probable.
Dispatches received here today from the
Greek expeditionary force say that the ir-
regulars have passed Kipuri, driving the
Turks before them, and are pushing on for
Grovena. where a strong Turkish force.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 4.-Representative
H. A. Keefer of Leavenworth occupied much
of the time of the Legislative investigating
committee today Keefer had made charges
OF corruption, but showed a, decided unwill-
inSness to mention names or give other di-
rect testimony. He had much to say of the
committee on telegraph and telephones, of
which he was chairman, but his testimony
in this direction showed principally the ex-
istence of ill-feeling between himself and a
majority of his committee, which had re-
suited in the committee blocking all his
efforts toward legislation.
When hard pressed for definite statements
as to charges Of corruption made by him in
public, Keefer stated he had been approached
by man who wanted to buy his vote on the
railroad bill. The man told him others were
getting money and that he was fool If he
did not go home fixed" He could not re-
member the mans name. Keefer said he had
also been approached several times on the
text book bill. R. W,Turner, secretary of
the Board of Railroad commissioners, he
said, had come to him twice Turner made
no definite offer to him. Representatives
Fairchild and Davis and IVY. l.. Brown of
kingman came to min about school book
legislation. He also had been told by State
Senator Ed Carroll of eLeavenworth that b.
P. Waggoner had made the ''brag' that he
CWaggoner), as head Of the railroad lobby,
had $50 900 at his disposal TO defeat railroad
legislation.

How to Produce a Fierce Rainstorm

How to Produce a Fierce Rainstorm
In q Tumbler.
To produce realistic illustration of
rain shower and the winds that ac-
company it's formation is an interesting
experiment, though your rain will not
be of water but of alcohol Take a
glass cylinder closed at one end, about
eight inches high and four inches in
diameter, and partly fill it with 90 per
binary china saucer, and immense it
in bath of hot water until the whole
becomes warm, but without allowing
the alcohol to boil. Then take the YES
sci out of the bath and place it on a
table in cool room. Soon you will
notice marked change taking place
in the contents of the glass. Thick
vapors win appear on the surface of the
saucer until an exact reproduction of
clouds in miniature floats high above
the surface of the alcohol, and tiny
raindrops fall into 1t. This rainstorm
will continue for nearly half an hour.
Then you will perceive the upper sur
face of the clouds is gradually clearing,
and that condensation is taking place
further down the glass.
Here you have the ocean represented
by the alcohol, over 1t the rain descend
ing from the clouds, and above all the
clear atmosphere and serene sky.
Should you wish to witness a genuine
storm, veritable tempest in tum-
bier, you have but to replace the warm
saucer by cold one Immediately upon
taking the glass out of the bath. The
rain will then descend in torrents and
gusts, as if driven by a fierce wind

coin Spring farm is three miles from
this quaint old town, on Nolin's creek,

The original Lincoln cabin had been
torn down and the materials had been
moved away, as stated by a man named
Tom Davenport, who used the logs in
his own house.
Mr.. A. w. bennett, a New York gem
tleman, not long ago bought the Dayen-
port house, recovered the logs, and, aft
er much difficulty restored the cabin
exactly as it was originally, using the
very same timbers, door, window and
frames. 1t occupies the former site,
and is in much the same condition as it
was when the Lincolns left it. The
cabin is IS feet long, 16 feet wide, and
about 10 feet high, counting from the
floor to the ridge-pole. There is only
one door and one window-the latter an
opening 20 inches square. A large
open fireplace, built in the most print
tive way, occupies nearly the whole of
one end of the cabin. The chimney
is made of small logs, placed together
just as log houses are built. Inside
of it, fat stones placed on the ground
made the hearth, and wide fiat stones
placed against the logs kept the fire
within bounds and protected the wood
en- chimney. The inside, from the
hearthstones to the top of the chimney,
was thickly daubed with clay. The
chimney reaches only half way to the
roof of the house, and is rounded off
with small sticks. This simple fire.
place furnished most of the light, all
of the heat, and the sole means for
cooking the meals of the family. The
cabin did not have even loft, or sec
ond story, as have most cabins. 1t
was built by Thomas Lincoln, father
of the president, some time about 1904
or 1905, and was entirely constructed
with an ak and saw, the simple tools
of the pioneers. The clapboard roof
was anchored down by small logs, laid
lengthwise on top of rowsof oak boards.
There were no nails or hardware. The
door-hinges were of wood, and the
paneless windows had an inside board
shutter, held in place by raw-hide
thongs. There were chinks and mud
between thelogs, and the puncheon floor
was pegged down 1t is probable that
after Abraham Lincoln's grandfather
was killed by the Indians at Long Run
Westinghouse, In Jefferson county, KY,
the family went further into the forest
and took up section of land in La Rue,
then part of Hardin county. Later, to
better his fortune, Thomas Lincoln left
this farm on Nolin's creek, and settled
on Knob creek, dozen miles from
Hodgensville, and from there he went
TO Indiana, and later to Illinois,
