MONEY ALL GONE.
None Left to Pay For Printing Report
of War Investigation.

Washington May 27.-Practically all
the work of the war investigating COM
mission in preparing for publication the
testimony taken by the body, together
with its report, has been completed ex-
cept the printing and the civilian en-
plOyes have been given notice of their
discharge. The expenses thus far in
CURED have almost entirely absorbed
the special allotment made from the
$50. 000, 600 emergency were apprOpria-
ton set aside for the commission, so
there are no funds Immediately avail
able with which to do the printing. A
list of several thousand persons, COZ
leges, G. A. r. posts and public men
had been prepared who were to receive
sets of the volumes of the testimony
and an earnest attempt will be made to
discover some means whereby to pay
for the printing.

FLOOD NEAR INDEPENDENCE.
Rivers Overflow and Cause Consider
able Damage to Crops.

Independence. May 27.-The heavy
rains of the past few davs have
brought all the streams in this section
up rapidly and in some cases they are
out of their banks.
In Chautauqua county. west of here,
the rain was heavier than here, and
Bee creek, Cheyenne creek and Little
Caney are out of their banks and all
the low lands are under water, which
will injure the wheat crop materially.
Elk river is out of its banks and at
Elk City, west of here, where Duck
creek empties into it, part of the town
is under water.
Water has surrounded the Santa Fe
depot and people have to use boats to
get to town from the depot. Farmers in
that vicinity will suffer heavy losses by
the water, which is still rising. At
Neodesha the Fall river and the Yer
degris are both high and a couple of
bridges have been washed away over
small streams. The Verdigris river
here has risen "a feet and will soon be
out of its banks. 1t is reported over
the bottoms further north, where the
rainfall was heavier.

SENT A BULLET IN HIS head.
Goodland Man, Despondent Over a
Love Affair, Attempts Self
Destruction.
[From the Good1and Republic.1

IFrom the GOOdland Republic.1
J. NJ. Ellis. a recently discharged pri-
vate of the Third Nebraska volunteers,
made a fruitless attempt on his life
yesterday by shooting himself in the
head with a 32-calibre revolver. The
bullet entered just above the right tenn
pie and after SCATTERING his skull came
out about one and One-half inches
above the point of entry. Although the
wound is a serious one, Ellis will re-
cover. He was seen going northeast
about 9 o'clock yesterday morning and
returned an hour later with the bullet
hole in his head, evidently intending
to die out on the prairie, but the one
cartridge he had failed to do the work.
Dependency over a love affair was
the direct cause of his attempt at self
destruction. County Physician Far
row dressed the wound, and as Ellis is
without money he was given lodgings
in the county Jail.

The women of the country are to
have an inning when the next census
is taken. Among the regulations which
will govern the taking of the census is
one which imposes upon persons whose
next door neighbors may not be at
home when the census-taker calls, the
obligation to tell him all that they
know about absent neighbors; that is.
all of what they know that it is neces-
sary for the census-taker to learn. This
looks like a scheme on the part of the
administration to capture the woman
vote.

Forestry Commissioner Scored.

r. NJ. Wright, commissioner of the
state forestry stations, made a trip to
Ogallah, where the second station is
established, and returned on Wednes-
day of last week. Mr.. Wright has made
his report of the condition of the sta
ton at Ogallah, which he found in a
deplorable condition. Fences were down
and other unsightly things were notice
able. The former commissioner, who
had charge of that station, was neg
lectful and extraVagant. He seemed TO
carry on the business for what he
could make out of it. He purchased
high priced fruit trees at a discount,
which he furnished his neighbors, and
charged the state full price.-Dodge

NOT HEREDITARY.
Prof Virchow Upsets a Theory Re-
garding Consumption.

Berlin, May 27.-Prof. Leyden gave a
brilliant reception last evening to the
delegates to the tuberculosis congress
which was attended by the Imperial
Chancellor, Prince Won HOhenlOhe, the
foreign diplomats and other notable
persons.
In the afternoon Prof. Rudolph Vir-
chow delivered an important address
before the congress, rejecting the theory
of hereditary tuberculosis. This doc
trine he declared was contradicted by
all his pathological researches. He said
he had never found tuberculosis in I'M
born or new born infants, though it
might be contracted during the first
days existence.

If Lawton had initiated General
Sherman a little more closely while
making his recent raid. perhaps he
would have saved much future trouble
for our army in the Philippines. When
Sherman made his famous march to the
sea he left behind him few inducements
for the enemy to return and reOccupy
the country. If Lawton had burned
those Is captured towns it might have
been the best thing in the long run
that he could have done. 1t seems al
ways to be a mistake to go to war with
