OIL INSPECTOR SNAP
No Longer Entitled to be Designated
a soft One.

Topeka, Kan, March 4-cSpecial.)-
When the new oil inspection bill passed
the house yesterday great private snap
and political slime-pit had gone out Of
Kansas politics. In the last six years
nine different measures have been pro-
posed providing for a decent conduct Of
the office of state coal oil inspector, but
eight of them died in the dark and alone,
incurred only by Fred Vandegrift, who
has for six years been pelting away
through his personal and newspaper influ-
ence at the vicious law and the corrup-
ton of the office. Six of the bills were
prepared by him, and one of these was
the new law which was passed yesterday.
In one month within the last few years
the records show that the oil inspector
worked shixty-one days and travelled 1000
miles. Passes have been used and mile
age collected, and records showed that on
certain railroads where the inspector had
no pass no oil was inspected. 1t is said
one inspector made $4,000 a year. The
law allowed the inspector to rake off at
will, and no questions asked. Wheatley
Of Cherokee, Francis of Anderson and
Auditor George Cole lined up this year
with Vandegrift and pushed the bill
through which provides that the inspector
shall receive a salary and turn his fees
into the state treasury.

POP CAMPAIGN MATERIAL
How the Pops for Two Years Have

Topeka, Kan, March 4.-(Special 1.-The
deficiency bill, printed in yesterdays
Eagle, came up in the house this morning
for third reading, but precipitated such a
flare of hot debate that OF was postponed
to the afternoon Geissler of Logan said
that the Pops two years ago purposely
lowered the appropriations to create def
ciencies which the Republicans must
make up. The Pop senate was now hold
ing up general appropriations to force
the house to pass the deficiency bill. He
was against plan to make Pop cam
paign material, and he was against bull

Topeka, Kan, March -CSpeciaL)-The

priation bills. The senate amended the

They hold that Molineux knew Miss
Chesebrough long before Barnet; that
Barnet won her away from the jealous
MolineuX; that Barnet was removed from
future consideration by poison; that when
MolineuX wished 10 assume the old ties
again Blanche Chesebrough intimated her
suspicious concerning the manner of Bar
nets death; that Miss Chesebrough de-
manded marriage, and marriage followed.
The headquarters detectives say they
have many facts to support this theory.
1t is interesting in this connection to re-
call the essential points in Mrs. Molineux'
testimony before the coroner's jury, con-
tanned in the following questions and an
swers in inquest proceedings Of Febru-
airy q:
Q. What did he say about the Illness
of Mr.. Barnet? A. He said ne was II,
and he was very sorry, and he thought
it would be a good idea to inquire if ne
was we'll enough for me to send him flow
ers. He thought he was and asked me
to send him some.
Q. Where did You inquire? A. I went
to a place in Columbus avenue and tele-
phoned, and intended to go to the club
and wanted to know how he was, and
they said he was still confined to his
room, and I thought as long as he was
not
Q. Had you been in the habit Of tele-
phoning him there? A. I telepnoned err
haps twice. Not more than that.
Mrs. Mollneux admitted that she ote
the Blanche letter. DO you not believe
me?" and do not be cross any more"
expressions that occurred in the letter,
were, she said, "a very informal way Of
expressing myself"
Q. There was never any quarrel be-
tween you and Barnet? a. Never.
@. Was there any discussion between
you and Molineux before yonr engage
ment about Mr.. Barnet's attention to you?
A. Never
Q. Had you been trying before that
to prove your sincerity to Mr. Barnet?
Had you ever before attempted to prove
your sincerity to him? A. No. I think
Mr.. Barnet knew I was sincere in my
friendship.
@. I see you sign your name, Yours,
Blanche" A. Yes, sir.
Q. Had you been in the habit Of call
ing Mr.. Barnet by his first name? A. Il
called him "Barnie."
Q. What did he call you? A. Blanche
1t will be observed thateIrs. Mofneux
made clean denial OF all insnuations con-
corning the guilt of her relations with
Barnet.
But the drift Of future developments was
manifest when Assistant District Attorney
Osborne asked Mrs. Molineux If she had
ever lived with Mrs. Martin in West
Twenty-fifth street She said she had not
He asked her If she had ever sent this
Mrs. Martin to Barnet to collect S26 from
Barnet due to Mrs. Martin.
Mrs. Molineux denied in toto that she
had eyer lived with Mrs. Martin, knew her,
or that Barnet owed Mrs. Martin anything
on account of her.
Mrs. Molineux testified that she would |
not know Cornish if he stood before her; |
that she had never heard of him until |
Molineux's name was mentioned in con- |
nection with the Adams poisoning.
Mrs. Molineux is said to be Frustrated /
still by the climax which ended in the i'm |
prsonment of her husband. She remains |
at the home Of loyal and general General /
Molineux, who not only believes in his /
son but in his sons wife.

Certain Species of Our Day Are Much
Smaller Than They Were In
Early Eras.

Most of the gigantic animals of geo.
logical eras belonged to species which
have completely vanished, and of those
which have living representatives it is
ii'ficult to say whether they have un-
Icrgone true change of size or wheth-
er their modern examples are merely
surviTals Of smaller contemporary va
rieties. The larger animals, saws
the Cincinnati Enquirer, have n
tendency to disappear first in par
tial failure of food supply. Gigantic
arnladilloes closely resembling these of
the present day were formerly abun-
dant in South America. The remains
OF huge sloths are found in Cuba and
North America. Sharks attaining Il
length of more than 100 feet are found
in comparatively recent fossil deposits.
Another fish which represents larger
prehistoric species is the American
pony spike, which is one of the few
suryivals Of the enormous Ganoids of
the secondary strata. The tiny nautilus
OF the present day had kindred ten or
twelve feet long in early times. An
other small shcllfish, the pteropod,
whose delicately complex structure is
packed in an inch of shell, is found in
FOSSIL remains to have reached the re-
spectacle length of q couple of feet.

JEWELS STILL OWNED IN INDIA

TIVE PRINCES CLING TO.
War, Poverty and Extravaganza
Alike Powerless to Induce Owners
to Sell Their Collections.

That India, after a foreign occupa-
ton of some centuries, and in spite of
the apparent poverty of the great bulk
of the people, is still probably the
greatest treasure house on earth, is due
to the fact that for ages it was, with
Ceylon and Burmah, the field which
supplied the rest of the world not only
with gold, costly fabrics and spices,
but with precious stones, the finest
specimens of which, however, were ever
retained by the Hindu and MOgul
princes for their own personal adorn-
ment.
One of the jewel treasures of the In
dian princes, that of the Gashwar of
Baroda. is, perhaps, the most remark
able, being appraised by experts a few
years ago at the immense sum of three
hrors of rupees or $15,OOO,O00. Among
his collection his chief diamond neck
lace, worn on state occasions, contains
the Star of the South a Brazilian
stone weighing 254 carats, for which
100000 was paid, the whole necklace
being valued at forty laos or rupees, or
81 ,000, 600. The masterpiece in his pos
session, however, is a wonderful shawl
composed entirely of inWrought pearls
and other precious stones worked in
the most harmonious and artistic ara
besque patterns, and which actually
cost the extraordinary price Eff $780,
900.
This shawl was intended as present
to cover the tomb of Mahomet, but

New York, April IL understand
that Mr.. II. a. Vachen, author of the
recently published California story,
1.-The Procession of Life is coming
soon for a visit in New York. When he
arrives there ought TO be something
rather in particular made of him. for
at time when Sir Lepel Griffin and
Mr. Howells are discussing whether the
American atmosphere is not so adverse
TO literature that all of the American
authors VIII have TO remove, sooner or
later, to England, or resign themselves
TO another craft, Mr.. Nachen may be-
come a great consolation and comfort
to US. He is an Englishman who has
now for number OF years made his
home in America, and has written
most, if not all, of his books here.
True, we may not, as Mr.. Howells has
pointed out, draw some reinsurance
from the instance of Mr.. Kipling, who
has found it possible to produce very
creditable work under American skies,
and even on American themes. But in
this. as in SO many other regards, Mr..
kipling has been 50 much q rule unto
himself that the disputations are left
free to say. with a certain force that
he proves nothing respecting the point
at isste; that he could probably pro-
dUce under any conditions, and that,
at most, he has still been among US
little more than a visitor This point
certainly cannot be made against Mr..
Nachen: the descendants of Miles
Standish are not more truly settled in
the country than he.
Mr.. Eacheli was educated at the Eng
lish military school of Sandhurst, and
served some years in the English army
He resigned from the army because he
was attracted by the life and opportu-
mites of our far west. He settled in
California, at or near San Jose, mar
ried there, acquired ranches. and is
now as strictly a man of the country as
any you could name. But to get pub

England. lie has written q number of
novels; but none, or not more than one,

blush this fact may seem to make a
little against him as a consolation. But
regarded more closely, it only COM
