Chicago, Feb. 1.-Commissioner of
Health Reynolds has sent out men to
gather samples of flour from leading deal
ers. This flour will be analysed and def

are said to have resulted in general
prevalence of dark bread
Commissioner Reynolds said: IF corn
has been used to adulterate the wheat
there need be no alarm so far as health
is concerned
if wheat should ever be cornered so as
to preclude it's purchase by the common
people, corn could easily fill its place
1t is announced that the farmers OF
Macon county will have an exhibition OF
corn in all it's shapes and styles at their
annual farmers institute and that they
will endeavOr to start a campaign IN ad-
vocacy of the healthful corn
The story that the wheat corner con-
trolled by Joseph H; Letter is causing peo-
pie to eat darker bread caused the Ma
poleon of the board of trade much amuse-
ment.

been resurrected.
Such is Mrs. Anna J. johnson Of 400
West Fifty-seventh street. Time was
when Mrs. Anna Johnson was rosy
checked and bright-eyed, living in the
north of ireland. She came to this
coU&try and married. Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnson removed to Chicago and there
established the Maison Doree, and now

To the EDITOR Of the State Journal:
I'm your Journal of the 25th issue. Won
say that Louise Wheeler, matron of the
Topeka Insane asylum has been re-
quested to resign or be investigated
The facts are I never had any trou-
bic at the asylum and everything
moved nicely until about January 1st
when DR., Scott, assistant superintend-
ent, originated a scheme wherein he
was to become superintendent and
GUST Dr. WetmOre.
There is sure to be an Investigation
and as my brother is a member of the
board and Governor Leedy was very
kind to me did not desire to become a
party to the investigation or know anv-
thing about it. In view of these facts
I deemed it wise to resign and have
placed my resignation in the hands of
the board to take effect March 1st.

have been sold during the last month,
compared with S3S 13S. 900 for the same
month last year. This is the highest

much Investment in the bonds of the re-
organized railroads, such as the Union
Pacific, Atchison, Northern Pacific, St.
Louis & San Francisco, Kansas Pacific
consols and Erie. There was also much
speculation in the bonds. notably in Union
Pacific certificates This speculation, of
course, affects the character of the ag-
gregate bond transactions.
The Commercial Advertiser says: when
bankers are asked why bonds are so act

they reply that money is pouring into
New York from all parts of the country
so freely there will be no better money
rate. That there is a tendency among
number of banks to reduce rates of inter

is a general inclination to do so is not yet
apparent In the meantime it is said that
bonds for investment will remain inact-

probably be able to supply cars when
other roads are not.

Santa Fe Having Seriour Time With
the FairuieW TvnneI Fire.

The burning of the Fairview tunnel
on the Santa Fe, near Williams, Ariz.,
mas amounted to a. much greater loss
to the company than was at first sup

started, the company has had to en-

The work Of rebuilding the tunnel has
been carried on with a great deal of ex-

San Francisco, Feb. Insurance
Commissioner C1unie has announced
that his fight against the foreign insur-
ance companies doing business in this
state will be directed against the orga-
nizatiOn known as the Fire Underwrit-
ers of the Pacific, commonly called the
insurance compact It is by the dis
organization of this association that the
insurance commissioner expects to Sc
cure for the people an equitable reduc-
ton of insurance rates, the payment Of
taxes and licenses by insurance cOmpa-
MES. and a general abolition of cCndi-
lions imposed on insurers since the
compact came into existence.
There are in prospect many additional
complications, including fines, criminal
prosecutions and suits to recover prem
iums obtained without license of law
1t will prove final test of the powers
of the insurance commissioner and the
application of state laws governing in
surance corporations.

MAY LOSE HIS FOOT.
Small Parkdale Boy Plays With a
Turntable to His Sorrow.


The 14-year-old son of Josiah Ross.
of Parkdale, came near losing his foot
while playing around the Santa Fe turn
table near Sixth. He, in company with
some other boys would get the table
started to turning and when it was we'll
under way they would jump on and ride
until it stopped and then start it again.
The table had been gotten under good
Roadway when young Ross tried to
jump on. He missed his step and his
foot was caught between the end of the
rail on the table and the end of the
track. His foot was badly crushed and
cut. He was carried to his home in
Parkdale by Officer Murphy where a
doctor was summoned. Several stitch
es were taken and it is now thought
that amputatiOn will not be necessary.
1t is strictly against the rules of the
company for anyone to be on or around
the turn table but it is quite a play
ground for boys living in the neighbor-
hood The table is at the Sixth street
round house and is not used a great
deal
