they began to praise and magnify the
wisdom of the chiefs grandmother
and to write her inspired message
upon all the houses. If anv Grabo.
MAN ventured to rub out the letters,
or to question its divine origin, he
was severely punished, and everyone
looked upon him as a very wicked
fairy.
When the roof was half finished the
number of owners was reduced to
200, and the remaining $500 Grabo-
mans had only half the island to call
their own. This caused much hunger
and over-crowding among them, yet
very few dared to complain because
only the friends of the 200 were ever
allowed to come under the roof.
When the roof was three-quarters
finished the owners were cut down to
70, and all the others were janmed
together On the remaining fraction
of the island. And in another month
the whole roof was completed, and
the Supreme Council declared that it
must be owned by single individual.
else the inspired law would be broken.
When the owner had been selected,
he at once commanded everyone to
move out from under his roof, and
the unfortunate little Grabonians
we're obliged one by one to jump from
the high rock into the sea. There
was no other way to keep the law, and
the chiefs advisers could not devise
any plan of escape. One young un.
educated fairy ventured to suggest
that the roof should be declared pub
lie property, but he was at once
seized and thrown from the rock. The
memqers of the Supreme Council and
the chiefs grandmother all jumped
| from the rock with the rest, and the
tide carried the 5000 little bodies out
to sea.
The solitary Grabonian was left
alone, under his roof. All the pre-.
cious shells were his. All the houses
and fountains we're his own. The
whole magnificent island palace be-
longed to him.
Yet before three days he tired Of
his possessions, and felt miserable
and lonely; and on tne fourth day
took a paint-pot and brush and paint
ed these words on the rock; 1.-THE
chiefs grandmother made a mistake.
Then The stupid, greedy little Grabo
MAN jumped from the rock himself
and that was the end of the whole
tribe.
And the moral of this sad history
is. "Pcople are worth more than laws
and constitutions and supreme courts

ance Against CaIderhead.

Clay Center, Sept. 2s.-Postof1ce con-
tests and the trouble which has been
caused by defeated candidates opening
fight on ex-Congressman w. A. Cal
derhead are responsible for extended
complications in the political situation
in the Fifth district. Affairs are in such a
state at this time and so many Re-
publcans are secretly fighting Mr.. Cal
derhead that Mr.. Vincent's friends
claim he will carry the district by an
increased majority this fall
In this city the poStoffice fight is par
tlcuIarly bitter. There were originally
three candidates, Messrs. Loader, Hep
Ter and Achenbach. None of these gen
tIemen, although they are western Re
publ1cans, seemed to meet the APPROX
al of Mr.. Calderhead and a new list Of
names has been entered in the contest.
The term of the Democratic postmas-
ter expired in April and the RepubIi-
cans are incensed at Calderhead for
delaying his recommendation for post
master here. Old soldiers are also COM
planning of his treatment of them Cal
derhead has attended reunions for ten
years and mOurned with his comrades
over the misfOrtUnes of war but when
the time came for him to dispense pat
ronage he ignored them completely. In
the county seat towns of the counties
comprising the Fifth district he has not
given one old soldier a place.
At Salina, Clyde, Abilene, Junction
City and other towns this is true and
trouble for Calderhead is the result.

SUITS PILING UP.
Bourgogne Line Is Deluged With Lit
igations-

1SaC1OnS-
New York. Sept 2s.-The French Trans
atlantic line is about to De deluged with
damage suits for the loss of life through
the sinking of the steamship La Bour-
gogne. One law firm alone, that of Ken
neson, Grain & Alling of No Is William
street, has nearly fifteen actions under
way, and has one already in the courts
The initial suit, for $4,000, is brought
by relatives of Emil H. Wuertz of this
city, whose life was lost. The allegations
in the papers filed in the supreme court
yesterday are sweeping in their charges
against the defendant line.
The most interesting point offered by
the plaintiffs is that Captain Deloncle of
La Bourgogne was practically insane at
the time he sailed his ship from this port
1t is specifically asserted that the captain
quent upon the death of his son in France,
from brain fever, and was a result
Chief of these, the plaintiffs declare, was
that he believed that he was destined to
be lost by an accident at sea, and that
delusion.
It is asserted that the officers and crew
of La Bourgogne were inadequate, incom-
petent and careless, and to show that the
time to the knowledge OF their employers,
the fact is mentioned that La Bourgogne
had run down the ship Ailsa in the bay
here more than a year previous to the
collision with the Cromartyshire.
1t is asserted that the liner was not pro-
Xided with proper collision bulkheads;
that her lfeboats were not adequate in
number nor in size. and that there were
not enough life RATS. There were not,
according to the complaint, proper appli-
ances for readily lowering the Hfeboa is

ASHES UNCLAIMED.
New Workers Shocked at Neglect
of Anton SefdI's Remains.

New York Sept. est was a shock
to the admirers of Anton Seidl to learn
that his ashes were lying unclaimed in
tin box at the offices Of the United
States Cremation company. Practical
persons were exercised in their minds
over the problem of who was to blame.
More than a dozen rich men in Wall
street expressed their anxiety to pro-
vide an urn worthy to hold all that was
left of the Bayreuth masters favorite
apostle.
But this and many other well-meant
offers were futile, inasmuch as inquiry
developed the fact that absolute discre-
ton in the matter had been resigned by
Frau Seidl to a committee of women
who had professed, shortly after the ia
nous conductors death, an absorbing
desire to furnish a fitting shrine for his
ashes. They declared at that time that
they would speedily order an urn whose
the passion breathed by the love duet
intTristan, THE youthful glory Of Sieg-
fried and the spirituality of ''Lohen-
grin"
Six months have passed since then.
The urn has not been made. It has
not even been ordered. SeidPs ashes are
awaiting an owner, for all the world
like an unclaimed express package.
All the members of this committee of
women music wOrshippers are out of
town, and an explanation of their tardi-
ness devOlVeS upon a man. Albert
Stettheimer was one of SeidPs nearest
friends and he alone is empowered by
Mrs. SeidI to remove her husbands
ashes from the cremation cOmpany's
office.
1.-The ladies have had many designs
for an urn submitted to Them he said,
but none have satisfied their ideals.
You see, they want something very fine
indeed. Mrs. Elizabeth Willing has
been entrusted with the duty of pass
ing upon the designs, and she is very
critical
Mrs. Seidl could not be expected to
have the ashes of her dead husband
with her. She is very nervous. She is
an artist. 1t was suggested to her that
she have a niche for the ashes in Seidl-
burg villa, in the Catskills, where she
is living with her maid, but the poor
lady tainted dead away. 1t was cruelI
Since then the ladies of the committee
and 1 have thought it wise not to ap-
proach her on the subject"
Where is the urn to be placed, when
it really is made? Mrs. Seidl objects to
any one club or musical society having
the custody Of it I don't know what
she would say to a public monument,
but should certainly advise her to ac-
cept such an offer. I am sure that
1000 could be raised for such a pur-
pose without difficulty
Similar views were aired last night
at the Freundschaft and Leiderkranz,
and there was a suggestion that all the
musical societies in the country should
be called upon to take action in the
matter.

IT SOUNDS FISHY
But the Story of German Action in
the Philippines is Repeated.


San Francisco, Sept. 2S.-The Evening
Post reiterates it's former stories regard
ing the supplying of arms to the FilipinoS
by the German government and is positive
that it's authority is absolutely correct.
The Post published interview with
him today in which he says that he is
not in a position to tell the full story for
the reason that he is financially interest
ed in the plot and has actually been a
party to the scheme. He says that he
is interested in the German Philippine
trade to the extent of nearly a million
dollars and that for fifteen years Ger
many has been working among the in
SurgentS for her own benefit and he also
told the Post that there would never have
been a revolution had it not been for the
German government. Continuing, he
said:
The arms that have been supplied came
from the imperial government and were
furnished through the trading companies
IN which 1 am interested, so as to conceal
the German hand.
The arms that are now being carried
by the inSurgent and German vessels are
from the same source. AguinaldO, who
accepted a petty bride to desert the cause
of the insurgents, has not the money to
arm and equip a big army and it has tax
ed his resources to furnish supplies alone.
My information is absolutely autheIR-
tic, as it comes from high officials of the
government who have large personal in
terests in the Philippines. Germany is
supplying the rifles, ammunition and ma
chine guns that are being landed and
when the 1nSurgent army is fully armed
and equipped and drilled trouble will COM
mence. Americas safety lies in diSarm-
ing the iQSurGentS.''

Charles Patton of Leavenworth, Has
Leg Broken.

Leavenworth, Sept. 28.-Char1es Pat
ton, aged about 9 years, a son of Mrs.
Matte A. Patton, had his leg broken by
being run down by a young woman BIZ
cyclist who gave her name as Laura
Hart. Special Policeman Diehl picked
the boy up and placed him in the patrol
wagon and carried him home.
The wheelwoman said she saw two
boys in the street and saw one give the
other a shove in front of her. The next
instant there was a collision and her
wheel had passed over the boys leg.
She was thrown but not injured.
Delhi said young Patton was pushed
backward in front of the wheel and fell
so that it passed over his left leg. The
front bone was broken about four inch
eS below the knee.
All who saw the wheel at the time say
it carried no light. Shortly after the
accident while the owner of the bicycle
was being questioned an old soldier
in the crowd called out to her: You'd
better be gettin shy of this crowd for if
the police happen to come along you'll
get arrested" Taking the hint she
pushed the bicycle clear of the crowd
and away.

STUCK IN THE SAND.
Klondike Bound Steam ers Aground
All Along the Route.

Victoria, B. c., Sept 2S.-The steamer
Danube has arrived from St. Michael,
Alaska, with 1856 passengers from the
Klondike and gold dust estimated by
the purser at one quarter of a million.
The gold was by no means equally
divided. It all belonged to a favored
few. The names of the lucky ones are

Erickson, G. w. Simms, c. w. Still,
r. Hanna, F. Gierson, J. S. Lusk and ].
M. Sloan.
All the Danube's passengers came
down the Yukon on the steamer Yu-
koner. Purser Price reports that on the
way down the river steamer passed 76
river steamers, small and large, bound
for Dawson. Four were ashore and the
Yukoner spent some time unsuccessful
ly endeavoring to draw them from the
grip of the sand bars which so tightly
held them. Three of the vessels aground
were the Clara, the Tyrell, both Of Van
cOuver, and the J. P. Light, one Of the
Moran steamers.
Three other larger vessels were seen
ashore at the YukOn's mouth, the Rob-
ert Kerr, the Power and the Marguer-
tie. The river was still navigable when
the Danube sailed but was low in pla-
ceS.
Besides the Yukoner which was pre-
pairing to start for Dawson in her new
service, three vessels were getting ready
to go up the river, the Arnold, W. Fl.

MAY BE NOVEMBER L.
Before the Troops Can Leave San
Francisco for Manila

San Francisco, Sept. est now looks
as if it would be November 1 at the
earliest before the next expedition can
leave for the Philippines. None Of the
transports due here has arrived though
they may put in an appearance at any
moment. Just what condition they
may be in is not known, but if simple
disinfecting and coaling is all that is
necessary, the vessels may possibly get
away by the last week in October.
The commissary department is pre-
