LOUIS MAYER DEAD.
Was One of the Oldest Hebrew Resi-
dents of Chicago.

Chicago, May 2-Louis Mayer, one
of the oldest and best known Jewish
residents Nof Chicago, died yesterday of
old age.
Mr. Mayer was 85 years old and was
born in Germany. He was one of the
founders of Sinai temple He was high
ly educated and translated the Old Tes-
lament from the original Hebrew into
English. He also made other transla-
tions, both religious and secular. from
Hebrew into German and English. He
was regarded as an authority on ancient
Hebrew, and his work as a translator
is highly valued.

New York, May 2.-The stock market
has fallen into a condition which looks
like inocuous deseutude- The apathy to
be noted is not consistent with the idea
that large interests are concerning them
selves at the present moment with the
drift of prices. Many of the large capital
lists who have important plans in hand
are abroad. either on vacation or on mis-
sions which do not permit much attention
to be given by them to the speculation.
The operator most prominent on the
bear side in the last year and half has
also abandoned his activity for rest In
these circumstances the room traders
comes permanently to the front most of
the time he is bearish- He is especially
so when it looks as if he were to be
allowed full swing in the speculation. His
operations are sometimes useful to larger
interests, not only through the creating
of a short interest, but often through his
ability to shake out the long stocks of
small spectators, which the larger ones
are willing to buy at a proper concession
in price, Such condition of affairs in
a largely professional market is of the
very kind that is likely to lead to profess
sional liquidation. 1t by no means follows
that the traders of the room element Will
have uninterrupted control of even the
] present dull stock market. As they are

OBJECT TO PARKS.
A Few Topeka Avenue Residents
Don't Want Grass Plats in Street.

An objection has been raised by some
of the property owners on Topeka ave-
nue. between Tenth avenue and Twelfth
street to having small parkings built
III the center of the avenue in the place
of paving the strip where the street car
tracks are being torn up.
The argument against the parkings is
that cattle are sometimes driven up Tc-
peka avenue and there is no way to stop
them. A herd of cattle driven along
the avenue once would ruin the park
ings for months. 1t is claimed that the
parkings will not be kept up and that
instead of being beauty spots they will
become simply patches of weeds, and
the property owners will eventually
have to pave them.
That is just what the park commits
sioners are for and there is no reason
why the proposed parkings should be
neglected.

PROPERTY LOSS IS HEAVY.
J. N. Beattie, of Scofeld, who is the
company's storekeeper said on his ar
rival this morning that no tongue could
tell of the horror, the sadness and the
appalling extent of the catastrophe.
When he left none could tell how many
had been killed, but it was thought
that the shift in No. had been wiped
out, and many were killed in No 1.
Whether a powder explosion, or a dust
explosion, or both, had not been de-
cided; in fact, no one had any thought
but to rescue the injured, recover the
dead and relieve the suffering. The
scene around the mine was hey ond all
attempts of description: Women chill
dren and friends crowding around, cry
ing and feverishly excited, waiting to
see if the next body brought out was
their loved one.
The financial loss to the company
cannot be estimated, but it will be very
great. what with the vaAious claims,
expenses, loss of daily output and re-
duced tonnage on the railroad by the
shipments being stopped. In every way
it is regarded as the worst disaster ever
occurring in this part of the country.
The nearest approach to it was the
Southern Pacific, Almy, Wyo., explosion
five years ago, when over 100 men were
killed.

Church Gives $113 to Famine Fund
For Work Done by Gov. Stanley.

Governor Stanley has received from
Rev. w. T. Randolph, of WaterviIie, a.
check for $113 for the India famine

received from one source for this fund.
Some weeks ago Governor Stanley
went to Waterville and assisted Rev.
Randolph in paying off the debt on a
church in his charge The governor s
speech brought the money.
In exchange for this effort the circuit
raised S113 for the famine fund and
forwarded it to Governor Stanley with

ing to the analyses, contains 81 per
cent Of mineral matter. When such
a body Of water is cut of and evapor-
ated, the gypsum is deposited after
thirty.seven per cent Of water is re-
moved, and common salt only after
the removal Of ninety.three per cent.
The normal order would be a deposit
OF gypsum and then 4 much heavier
deposit OF salt. But as nlncty.three
per cent OF the wafer must be evap-
Grated before the salt would be
thrown down, the evaporation might
90 far enough for the deposition Of
gypsum, but not far enough for salt;
or the salt might be deposited, and
subsequently removed by solution.
Gypsum deposits are more wide
spread in nature than salt, but us
nally occur in thinner beds.
KANSAS PRODUCTION.
Kansas holds first place as a pro-
ducer Of gypsum in the United States.
The latest figures are for 1897 and
are as follows:

This area is naturally divided into
three districts, which, from the i'm.
portant centres Of manufacture, are
named: The northern or Blue Ra-
pids area, in Dickinson and Saline
counties; and the southern or Medi-
icine Lodge area, In Barber and Com
anche counties. These areas appear
to be separate, but careful mapping
shows a number OF insulated inter
mediate deposits, which serve to con-
meet the northern and central areas,
and indicate connection between the
central and southern areas. These
connecting links are found near Ran
dolph and in the reservoir excavation
at Manhattan, in Riley county; a,

The north aud south divides between

One Of the most important mineral
productions Of Kansas is gypsum in
its several forms and the presence Of
several deposits in this section makes
information concerning it Of interest
The State Geological survey has is
sued very interesting ard valuable
report upon the gypsum deposits Of
Kansas, Prof. Erasmus Haworth OF
the State University editing it. From
this report the facts in the following
article are taken. They give vivid
picture Of this growing industry.
KANSAS GYPSUM BELTS.
The Kansas gypsum deposits of
economic value form belt trending
northeast and southwes: across the
state. The belt Of exposed rock
varies in width from five miles at the

the northern part Of Dickinson coun-
ty.
Gypsum deposits Of economic i'm.
portance are found near Peabody and
Burns, in Marion county; in Sedg-
wick county, near Mulvane, and in
Summer county, near Geuda Springs.
From an examination Of a map Of
west central United States with the
gypsum deposits indicated thereon,
it will be seen that II the northeast
line Of the Kansas deposits is extend
ed it will strike Fort Dodge area IN
Iowa, and II it is continued to the
southwest it will strike the extensive
deposits Of the Canadian river in In
dian Territory and those Of Texas.

The central area lies 10 miles
