BELL RINGING SPIRITS.
Simulated by Novice Who Was Not
a Medium.

A spiritualistic seance arranged by a
medium from California at the hall at 420
Kansas avenue broke up in row last last
night. Leon McClintock, a carpenter who
boards at Fifth Avenue hotel, shouted
oh rats! that's easy after the medl-
UNI 5 young lady assistant had done sew
eral bell ringing. tambourine pounding
feats although shackled and chained TO
the floor, and the. medium dared him TO TO
duplicate the performance McCHntock
accepted the offer and was duly shackled
and chained, while the large crowd assem-
bled to view the seance cheered. As soon
as the curtain of the cabinet was drawn
the bells began to ring and the tambourine
to sound the same as before, and the
crowd changed from cheering to Kissing
The success of McClintock and the leers
of the crowd made the California medium
very wrathy, and he remarked in very
decided tone to the young carpenter that
he was apparently accustomed to working
in irons. This made McClintock Wra thy
also. and he dared the medium to fight.
However. the Californian did not accept
the Topeka mans offer the Topeka
man had accepted his, and a fight was
averted. The medium at once declared
the seance closed and the people who had
paid 25 cents admission to attend took
the worth of their money in calling him
"fakir'' and a 'fiim-f1ammer." The me.
dunn intended to take up a residence of
several months in this city.

Grew Out of a Mistake According to
an Official.

Kansas City, April 3.-The bond of the
receivers, Robert Gilham, E. L. Martin
and J. Nc D. Trimble appointed for the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf railroad
Saturday night and fixed at $4,000 each
was approved today by Judge Gibson
The National Surety company gave the
bond.
President A. f. Stillwell expressed the
opinion today that the receiVershlp
would not be overturned by the federal
courts, an attempt at which it had been
stated would be made shortly by eastern
interests.
one of the officers of the company
who declined to allow his name to be
used said today:
1.-The receivership is due to a mistake
in the financial plans of the company
Provision was made for only $1.50O a
mile for equipment, when it should
have been $4,000 a mile. AS a result
over $500 900 had to be taken out of the
treasury which should have been ap-
piled to the interest fund. The money
to pay interest had to come out of the
earnings and this is why the road was
forced to the wall. Last month the road
made $685., 900 against $273,00 a year
ago. Every ton moved in January cost
only 8 $40 mills a mile. which is a rec
ord equalled by no other railroad in the
west. There was no necessity for re-
ceivership, so far as the earning ca
pacity of the road was concerned

Engaged by Big Cattleman to
See to His Interests.
Gillett and TrOxel Have Fallen
Out, 1t Is Said.

Abilene, April Sword has reached
here that Grant C. Gillett, the abscond-
ing cattle plunger, has made a failure in
the hotel business at Chihuahua, Mex
leo. He purchased the Hotel Palacio
within a month after his disappearance
from Abilene, refurnished it throughout.
but in a very short time sold it again,
and it is now known that he failed to
make his expenses and to pay the price
agreed upon. When he bought the no
tel the bar which as the best paying
part of the business, was closed, owing,
it is said, to Mr.. Gilletts scruples. and to
this some attribute his failure to make
ends meet.
Since selling his interest in the hotel.
GiIlett has been in consultation with
number of prominent cattlemen, and on
Friday last he left Chihuahua and went
to TOrreOn. On the same train there
arrived from the United States well
known cattleman from Chicago by the
name of Burke. At TorreOn they left
the train and held a long private con-
ference. Mr.. Burke is largely interested
in cattle in Peru, and Gillett, before the
conference, told several parties that he
had been engaged by Burke to go to
Peru to look after his cattle interests
there. He said he was going to meet
and confer with him as to the terms.
Notwithstanding the statements made
by GilIett that he has little or nothing
left, and his failure to pay for the hotel
it is known that he has in his possession
not less than $780, 900 in money, outside
of his Wife's diamonds, the value of
which is not less than $4,000. He says
that he will return to the United States
in the course of a few years, if he is
successful in his present venture. 1t is
expected that he will start for Peru in
the near future. His former attorney
and adviser, c. r. Troxel, is now en-
ga ged in mining near Chihuahua Since
their bitter and sensational quarrel in
Chihuahua several weeks ago, in which
pistols were drawn, there has been a
state of absolute non-intercOurse be-

HORTON MANS CAREER
President of the Bank of Horton
Started in 1882 With $3.50.

w. r. Honnell began farming in the
spring of 1882 as a renter. He had a
plug team and $3.50 in money to make
the start and carry him through the
first year. BY hard work, early and
late, he cleared just $1,000 for the years
work; with $500 of this he bought thirty
steer calves and applied the balance as
part payment for a 160 acre farm two
miles west of Horton. He sold the
calves thirteen months afterward for
$500 cash. The keeping of the lot cost
him less than 800 up to the time they
were sold.
With this money he bought another
so acres and with his crop money paid
for it. He then sold three eighties at
$4,000 advance over the purchase price
and bought on the edge of the Kickapoo
reservation and engaged in an extensive
cattle business for ten years.
Mr.. Honnen is 3S years old, and
represented Brown county in the state
legislature in 1889. He is president of
the Bank of Horton. Most of his bust
ness now consists in buying and selling
real estate.
The largest real estate deal he ever
made was in 1885, when he bought all
the interest of the Rock Island Rail
road company in the town of Horton
other than that occupied by the shops.

THE MILLENNIUM FAILS.
Followers of Lieut.. Totten Look in
Vain For Christ's Reappearance.

Indianapolis Ind. April 3-In the city
are a good many followers of Lieutenant
C A l. Totten, u s. A. who were dis
appointed because the millennium did not
begin on the date predicted by Totten
seven years ago.
Seven years ago the newspapers of In
dianapolis and other parts of the coun-
try contained stories to the effect that,
according to Totten's theory. Christ would
reappear earth March %, 1899. Among
the Indianapolis ministers who fell in with
the theory of Totten was Dr. ]. S. Jencks,
one of the ablest ministers of the city.
Many church people took kindly to the
theory and looked forward to the develop
mentS of the day.

same old way, having gone to Honduras

MARCH EXTRA COLD.
Chancellor Snow Issues His Monthly
Weather Report

Lawrence. April S.-Chancellor Snow
of the state university says in his
weather report for March;
THE month just closed was unusu-
ally cool, snowy, damp and cloudy The
mean temperature was nearly seven de-
grees below the March average, only
two Marches on our thirty-two years
record having had lower mean. There
were fourteen winter days with mean
temperature below the freezing point
This is twice the average number and
more than for any preceding March.
Only two March days in the past thirty
two years have been colder than the
6th with a mean temperature of 9 de-
grees. The mean temperature of the
second half of the month was several
degrees below that of the first half.
THE total depth of snow for the
month was 91s inches, which is 6 inches
above the average, and, with one excep-
ton, the greatest for March on record.
This makes the total precipitation-rain
and melted snow-slightly above the
average"
