TURNED ON THE GAS TO Die.
Taylor Meyer, a Laborer Out of Work
Seeks in Vain to End
His Life.

Taylor Meyer, 50 years. of Lima. O.. was
found unconscious from gas inhalation in
a room at 914 Wyandotte street, upstairs,
yesterday morning, by Mrs. R. NJ. Orem,
who has charge of the apartments. Every
gas jet In the room had been turned on and
Mrs. Orem's attention was drawn to the
room by the odor of the gas, which filled
the hallway adjoining it. She at once
notified the police and Meyer was removed
to Central station. where he was speedily
revived by a surgeon.
Meyer said he had been taken into the
room by a tall blonde woman named EN-
ma" whom he met on the street. When
he had gone to sleep. he claims. the woman
robbed him of SIS and opened the gas jets.
She then left him.
Mrs. Orem says Meyer has been rooming
for two weeks at her house. and owed
her rent. When she asked him for 1t he
said he would pay 1t Wednesday. She says
Meyer has had no money since coming. to
her and that he turned on the gas him
night after he went to the room. The pres
ence of a bottle of chloroform under his
pillow seems to bear out her theory. 1t
was found after Meyer had been taken
from the room. Meyer will not deny or af-
firm that he meant to kill himself. He is
q laborer.

C0L0RED PEOPLE PROTEST.
Against by School Board in Ap-
pOintment of Teachers.

Editor Williams, of the Observer, q ne
gro paper. yesterday visited Secretary
Benson. of. the board Of education, n
gave notice that the negroes in the city
were. according to himself. very much agi-
tated over some of the appointments of
celored teachers in the schools. He claimed
that he knew Of several instances in which
the board had appointed colored teachers
who were not the products of the Kansas
City schools He said hat the negro TX
payers Of the city considered that the
young colored people who graduate from
the Lincoln high school Of this city and
have always lived in Kansas City were as
fully equipped to teach in the Kansas City
colored schools as those coming from other
states.
1.-The board is partial. we are afraid
said Williams. 1.-THE colored ministers of
the city are going to join the negro press
in advocating that something be done to
give the Kansas City colored young men
and women who graduate from the Kan
sas City schools the opportunity to make
q living and use their education without
having to go outside Of their own city
to do It,"
Williams then declared that unless GER
tain colored teachers who had been APP
pointed were not discharged and Kansas
City people given the preference in the ap-
pcintmentS, the colored citizens would wait
on the board in a body and declare their
intentions Of bringing about some kind of
reform. Secretary Benson referred Will
Jams to President Yeager, of the board.

Roy is Is years old. In the long years Of

fence. more especially with the police.

Roy Bell say there is no fear that he will

Judge Wofford yesterday that II the case

is the belief of several court officers that
Reeds lawyers will pead that he is insane.

TWO OLD CITY WARRANTS.

Secretary Benson Has q Couple OF C0s
rios which He Prizes Far Above
Their Face Value.
Secretary w. E. Benson. of the board Of
education, has in his office in the library
building two city treasury warrants. issued
when Kansas City. or rather. the City Of
Kansas, was in its swaddling clothes. The
two warrants are framed and occupy a
conspicuous position on the mantel. One
reads as follows:
Treasury Warrant. No. 5072. Mayors
Office. Kansas City. Mo-. July 10th, 1861.
Treasurer of the City of Kansas. one day
after date pay to Owen O'Flaherty, or or
der, 75c out Of the general fund. BY order
of the city council. July S. 1861. Attest:
Michael Smith. Register.
r. T. VAN HORN. Mayor.
The other piece Of well worn and yellow
paper was made out November Il, 1865.
and signed by Patrick Shannon. mayor.
1t is payable to John Walsh. Neither war
rant was ever paid. for some reason.
IT suppose the city is still liable for the
face value of these two warrants. but they
are now worth more as curios than che
amount they call for" said Mr.. Benson.

POSTAL CHANGES NEEDED.

out Greater Kansas City.
The postofice department recently sent
to Postmaster Reed a letter inquir1ng what
changes would be deemed advisable in re-
newing the mail wagon contracts that ex-
pire next year. These inquiries are usually
made q year Dr. more In advance. so that
full consideration may be given the sug-
gestions. Tit reply to the suggestions was
prepared by Assistant Postmaster Seidiitx
and has been forwarded to Washington.
He recommends that the wagon service
between Kansas City and Westport be dis
continued, that q full postal station be
located in Westport and the transfe Of
mail to and from the station be made by
the street cars. This will not only reduce
the time. but will enable the mail to be
exchanged between the main office and
Westport several times daily.
Several months prior to the consolidation
of the two cities the certainty Of consolida.
ton was forwarded to the department with
a map of the city showing the extent Of the
territory to be taken in and the suggestions
the Office here had to make for the inform
alton of the department. Nothing has beer
heard from it. The ultimate result. the
office here believes. will be the change from
an office to a station as suggested. With
this is expected to come an order for
enough additional carriers to enlarge the
free delivery boundaries so as to cover the
full territory of the city,
