OF the ocean he thought 1t was at least
four feet long. but when it was secure
In the boat it did not measure quite so

The representatives of the bondhold-

impertinence. Mayor Donald finally
wrote them that while the city would
like to do all asked of her, 4 per cent
would be the limit, and if the holders
persisted they would find out in the
end that they would get less, and with
this ceased his overtures.

TO sUPPLANT SHORTHAND.
Winfield Man Has Prepared a Ma
chine System.

Winfield, June As. L. Romine, pro-
fessor of stenography and shorthand at
the Southwest Kansas college, has in
vented a system of shorthand for type
writers which promises to supplant the
1aborious old style pencil shorthand,
besides proving a source of consider
able revenue to the inventor. He calls
it "Phonotyping,' and it is just what
its name signifies.
Mr.. Romine's system is as rapid as
pen shorthand and possesses advan-
tages which give it precedence over the
old methods. In the first place it is
more legible, the characters being the
sharp, well defined printing characters
which can not be distorted when sub
jected to high speed, while under the
old method it is impossible to make
perfect outlines with a pen or pencil
at verbatim speed. Such writing is
illegible just to the extent that it di-
verges from perfect outlines, and some
times serious mistakes are made by the
most experienced stenographers.

Mr.. Bean left North Topeka while in

dered west to the. Berry farm, where he
had visited, and that he accidentally fell
in the water and was drowned. His fam
lily does not give much credence to this
