of education does not admit having re-
ceived the above amount either in
stamps or as an order. The order was

endorsed by the former controller.

internal revenue stamps. ......$70
Date on order is July l. 1898.
1t is understood that check stamps on
city orders from the controllers office
were used for about two weeks only,
and that less than 300 stamps in all
were used. The present controller says
that he has not found any internal rev.
enue stamps on hand. :.
In number of instances orders for
parts of the monthly salary of the for
mer controller and of his charges for
expenses appear to have been received
by him before such orders had received
the written approval of the board of
finance.
There are in the controllers office 10
sealed envelopes, each one having ON its
face date. number, name and figures
showing the amount of money under
stood to be therein. The latest date is
May 2, 1899. The amounts are small.
Upon the pay rolls which correspond as
to dates with the dates Of these pay en-
yelopes at the right of the same num-
bers, names and amounts, the same or
similar names have been written in
most cases apparently by the former
controller, and also such cross marks
have been made as We're usually made
to show payment The former control
Ter states that these payments were
made by him out of his present funds.

1t appears that there were in the

Der of orders, the latest one bearing
date of Jan. 4th, 1885, which had not
been taken by the payees and which
amounted to $230SS. There may be

TO SAVE CLIFF DWELLINGS,
Movement In Denver TO Turn . Beau
tiful Colorado Region Into
National Park.

AS result of a meeting in Denver a
bill making the cliff dwellings region
in the southwestern part of Colorado
national park will in all probability
be introduced at the next converting of
congress. Congressman John +. SHAFT
roth, Judge George T. Sumner, Booth
Malone and DR.. Camden NJ. Cobern,
with the host, constituted the meet
ing. Congressman Shafroth went over
the details of passing such a bill, and
the other men present, all of whom
have been on the ground, recapitulated
all they personally gathered concerning
the interesting ruins below Durango.
Granting that the people living in the
agricultural country contiguous to
the cliff dwellings made no objection to
the setting aside of the land containing
these prehistoric buildings. and he had
received almost an assurance that they
would not, Mr.. Shafroth saw no i'm
pediment in the way Of passing the
bill.
Maps and pictures of the ground and
ruins were carefully gone over and
studied. While the dimensions of the
area were not specified, it is thought
that Is miles, running northeast and
southwest, by four or five miles wide,
will include the most important ground
without infringing on any precious
minerals or agricultural lands. Mr..
Shafroth made copious notes to take
with him to Washington and will work
for the passage of the bill. He advises
that no appropriation be asked for in
the first measure. 1t will be sought to
make some provision for the caretaking
of the ruins. Excavations must be
made scientifically and will be restrict
ed by license. Mr.. Shafroth will try
to enlist the interest of the Smithsonian
institution. The matter will be pushed
with all possible speed. At the pres
ent time two large exploring parties
of 100 members each are being organ
lied, one in San Francisco and one in
the east, to visit the Mancos canyon
and excavate in the ruins.-Denver Re-
publican.

viii Dairy on a Large Scale.
WIN. LEE, SR.

The deal was cOnsumated Saturday
last whereby the big Lewis ranch north
of town passed into the hands of Messrs.
L. l.. and NJ. l.. Matterson and j. IL.
Neice. The tract comprises 3O5 acres
and the price paid was $500.
1t is the intention of the new owners to
embark in the dairy business on larger
scale, under their present title of the
Sprngvale dairy. The gentlemen are
experienced buttermakers, and with
their present herd Of twenty Jersey cows
haye been able to manufacture an ar
tcle that has commanded the top prices
in the butter market.
1t is their intention to thoroughly
renovate their new quarters and add some
new machinery and stock and make of it
the most complete, up-to,date dairy in
the county.

DEATH OF MRS. SNIVELY
Will be Buried from Central Chris
tian Church.

The announcement yesterday morning OF
Mrs. ]. r. Snivelys death startled her
many friends, many of whom did not
know Of her presence in the city. Mrs.
SnfveIy came up from Kansas City, where
the family have resided for the past iva
years, to visit among the dear friends of
many years standing in Wichita, where
her boys had grown to manhood and
where her husband was for so long
prominent as an active man Of affairs.
Many of these warmest friends were her
associate in the Central Christian church,
Of the life and work of which Mrs
Snively was intimately identified for six
teen years. From that church, the scene
of so many pleasant and profitable hours
OF her life, she will be buried today at
O'Clock. She leaves behind q. devoted
husband and two children, J. Fern and
J. Dale, all of whom will realize their
great loss more keenly than words can
tell Both as a wife and as a. mother
she was all in all. After her arrival in
Wichita q few days ago she had at at
tack of la grippe. which resulted in sud-
den heart failure. She would have been
50 years old on the 31st inst. Mrs. Snively
was born in DeKaIb county, Indiana, and
removed with her husband and children to
this city I'm 1881, where she continued to
reside until 1896, always esteemed as a.
warm hearted Christian, an earnest
church worker and a model wife and
mother whose life was given up.

NOT A NEW IDEA
Wichita and Southern Rail-
way Project Backed
ONCE BY JAY GOULD
Was Asked $1,000 a Foot
for Depot Facilities.

The Wichita and Southern railway the
| line mentioned in yesterday morning
Eagle as being organized, is not new
idea Gould not only strongly contem-
plated such a line from Wichita, but the
| orders were issued to construct the rrst
section of it to Burden and Caney Valley
| in Cowley county, via douglas. involved
| in the proposition was free rig'ht-of-wsy
! from the end of the Missouri PACING
| tracks on Douglas avenue down along the
! bank of the river TO the city limits. The
! Wichita parties-the Big Four-found no
| trouble in securing the right-of-way until
| they got up to Douglas avenue, where
| the 100 feet front was required by Mr..
| Gould for passenger station and office
| building The men who owned the lOU
| feet demanded and would not take cent
less than $1,000 per front foot. Mr.. Jay
! Gould kicked on paying 100000 or any
such price, and SO the enterprise fell
through. If the lots could have been Sc
cured the Missouri Pacific would have had
a belt line around the town, as the city
council had already granted a right-of-
way for the Caney Valley enterprise
along the street now occupied by the Mid
LAND.
Following this failure another corpora
ton was gotten up by Al. Thomas and
associates for a road over the hne de-
scribed in yesterdays Eagle, W 18th the
same terminus. Senator Plumb's interest
was gotten and he procured O. congress
sfonal right-of-way through the terri
tory. Whether that right-Of-way has
lapsed it is not known. Still later the
Amsterdam or foreign bondholders of the
Midland subsequent to the Teceivership,
contemplated the extension Of the Mid
land over this same line. concluding, and
rightly, that in no other way could this
Union Pacific connection with Wichita be
made a paying line. The conclusion was
correct enough and doubtless something
would have come Of it had the old board
of trade survived, so many Of whose
bright. enterprising and competent fac
tors were caught in the grind Of a col
lapsed boom.
The proposed line would have proved
very valuable one not only for this city
and section but for all southwest Kansas.
1t would mean not only an additional gulf
outlet for the vast grain and -four pro-
ducts of this valley, but force the MAX
ing this a basing point on Jobbing ton
age if not for distributing purposes.
Aside from these considerations the line
traverses one Of the richest sections of
the west a section of great coal fields.
OF vast timber lands and Of rich agricul-
tural lands.
AS north and south roads for the trans
future, this would have still an additional
importance because of its connection with
