Then Over That Signature He

WORKS SCHOOL BOARD.

Burlington. April ga swind1er with
a new scheme has worked more than
half of the country school districts, in
this county.
A few weeks ago a representative of
Miesse's primary language chart was
here and had County Superintendent
Hennen recommend the chart, which is
said to be a good thing. Mr.. Hennen
wrote a letter to the schools saying it
was a good thing. Then the agent had
some letter heads printed in almost ex-
act imitation Of the one used by the
superintendent. He wrote q. letter on a
typewriter instructing the boards to
buy the chart, as it was adopted by the
textbook board and had to be used. He
then took Mr.. Hennen'S signature and
by the use of a mimeograph got up a
circular bearing Mr.. Hennen's sigma
ture. Nearly every board bought a
chart on the strength of this letter and
it is probable that all would have
bought had not Mr.. Hennen sent out a
circular warning the boards against the
agent. AS soon as the circular was sent
out the agent disappeared and is pro-
badly in some other county now.

A GENERAL STRIKE
Of Machinists Is Threatened in Ger
tain Contingencies.

Cleveland. April ga conference has
been held here by committees of the In
ternational Molders' union and the Ma
tional Foundrymen's association in regard
to the demand of the union that molders'
wages in this city shall be increased from
81. 70 to $500 per day. The union was rep
resented by the first international vice
president, John F. Valentine, of San
Francisco; NJ. P. Murphy, of Buffalo, and
John Loder of Pittsburg The representa-
tives of the foundrymen are o. L. Rus
sell, of Detroit; Frank H. Wentz, Of Buff
falo, and John Loder of Pittsburg. They
prepared a proposition which will be sub
mitted to the molders and the foundry
men in this city, continuing the race of
81 rs until July. Between now and that
time, Mr.. Valentine says, the union mold
ers in all the large cities in the United
States, will make formal demand for
50 per day.
At a secret meeting of the Central labor
union held on Wednesday evening, re-
ports were received regarding the machin-
lists strike in this city. Complaint was
made that the manufacturer national
association is aiding the Cleveland con-
Germs, whose machinists are on a strike.
The declaration was made that the In
ternational Machinists' union contem-
plates coming to the rescue of the strik-
ers by contributing money. and threatens
to call for A strike OF machinists all over
the country unless the manufacturers or
ganization keeps its hands off

NEW TRAINS FOR TOPEKA.
Proposed Important Accession to Our
Commercial Facilities.

With the proper encouragement from
Topeka and other towns along the route
of the proposed train, the Union Pacific
management will inaugurate a new
passenger service into and out of To-
peka that will be of material advantage
to the Topeka merchants and business
men, and to the citizens generally. This
enterprise on the part of the Union
Pacific people has been under consider
alton for some time, and is almost de-
cided upon.
With a little encouraging talk, and
the display of a fostering spirit on the
part of the Commercial club. this train
may be regarded as a. practical GER
tainty. The schedule proposed is as
follows: Train to leave Kansas City
about 1880 in the morning, arrive at To-
peka about $50, and reach Salina or
Mcpherson, one of which points will be
the terminal about 2 o'clock in the af-
ternoon; returning Immediately east
bound it will reach Topeka about 6
O'Clock in the evening, and Kansas
City at 8, in time for all east going
trains.
The Importance of this train to the
merchants of this city will be realized
when the fact is stated that the people
of Granville, Perryville, Williamstown,
Newman and other Union Pacific points
east of this city are unable to come
to Topeka at any time during the day
and do any trading. The present train
which reaches Topeka from the east
at 1890 does not stop at these towns.
and those people who desire to buy at
the capital city must come on the train
which arrives here at o'clock in the
| evening, stay over night and return the
| next day.
The new train will enable them to
come to Topeka by $3.50 or 10 O'Clock
in the morning. and return the same
day in the afternoon, or go home on
the east bound train leaving Topeka at
6 o'clock in the evening. On the other
hand it will enable travelling men who
desire to go from Topeka to ST Marys
Wamego, ST George or Manhattan, tc
| do a days business at those points and
| return to Topeka in the evening.
The Union Pacific people will GER
| tainly receive the appreciation of To
| peka and her people, if these two trains
are added to those already coming into
| this city.

SANTA FE WILL PAY MORE.
Double Track Increases the Valuation
100000.

The state board of railroad assessors
this afternoon increased the total as
sessment of the Santa Fe company in
Kansas 500, 900. This is due to the dou-
BILE track and improvements which the
company has been making within the
past year.
Because of additional improvements
the Frisco from the Missouri river to
Wichita was increased $500 per mile
which makes a total of $50, COO
The Kansas and Southwestern from
Arkansas City to Anthony was reduced
from So, 500 per mile to $4,000 This is a
total reduction of $4,000.
No change was made by the assessors
in the valuation of the Leavenworth and
Atchison bridges across the Missouri
river and the Atchison bridge.
There will be no change in the assess
ment of the property compared with
last year except in cases of improve
ments and a decrease in the value of
property. This warrants the announce
ment by the board, which appears in
another part of this paper that as a
whole there will be practically nochange
in the total valuation OF railroad prop
erty this year.

BANKERS TAKE A HAND.
Plead With Government to Make Ex

New York. April 27.-The executive
council of the American Bankers asso-
citation met today and listened to the
report of the committee appointed last
September to make recommendation or
the correction of any violation of the
letter of the war revenue tax law. The
report stated that the committee had
written to large number of banks re-
questing them to forward to the war
tax commissioner at Washington their
views respecting the ruling of the COM
missioner exempting the express com
panies from paying the license tax of
$50 per annum The committee also
went to Washington with counsel and
appeared before the commissioner to ar
que in opposition to the express COM
panies.
Your committee" the report reads,
ARE strongly persuaded from careful
consideration of the arguments and
briefs that the express companies are
liable to pay the license tax and your
committee is still hopeful that the at
torney general viii SO decide
IF the decision should be adverse to
the banks the only manner of obtaining
a different ruling will be by having a
test case decided by the courts"

TOPEKA OPERA COMPANY.
La Fiesta Players Reorganize and In

The amateur company which present
ed the opera La Fiesta de San Xavier
in this city has been reorganized.
At meeting held Wednesday night
c. S. Sutton was chosen president,
Harry Robinson treasurer, Joseph
Deacon secretary, and Fred Cclver
stage manager. Ray E. Thomas is to
be the musical director.
At the places where the opera was
presented it was conceded that La
Fiesta" was a creditable piece well put
on, and that under more favorable cir
cumstances could be made to pay
Mr.. Owen Foster, of Los Angeles,
Cal, composer of the musical score of
the opera, will not remain to take part
in the further movements of the COM
pany, owing to the fact that his duties
at home will not permit him to stay
away longer.
The idea that is proposed in this new
venture is to institute a sort of dra-
matte school with its object the better
development of an interest in music by
those who join the organization A
number of operas will be selected and
produced in this city.
Several persons will be taught the
lines of each of the principal speaking
parts, and the person doing the part the
best will be given the place. No favor
itism will be shown.
After the presentation in this city of
any OF the operas produced by this com
pany they will be taken out on the
road. At the meeting Wednesday
night some talk was given to a name
for the proposed organization. 1t is
quite likely that the words La Fiesta"
meaning the FESTIVAL will be selected.
An advisory board has been selected.
! 1t will be for this board to decide all
| questions relative to what operas will
| be learned and what. cities to visit
when on the road This board is COM
posed of the officers of the organiza-
/ ton together with four of the members
/ of the company. The four members
/ elected were: Miss Lucia Wyatt, Mrs
J. w Deacon, DeForeSt Jetmore and
| D. B. Ledermann.
Two more performances. of LA

in this city. The dates will probably
be next Friday evening and Saturday

DESERT OF ASHES.
Appearance of the District Swept by

Ottawa, Ont, April 27.-The scene of
the Hull fire today presents vast
desert of mere ashes, out of which the
porch of Notre Dame du Grace, the
property of the Oblates of Mary the I'M
maculate the st. Marys school, recently
built at a cost of $4,000 and a cluster
of residences round the church alone are
intact. Among the ruins of a house on
Washington street, Hull, today was
found the corpse of a man named Bern
ably Myers. All night in Ottawa the
homeless ones have been going about
looking for places in which to take up
their abode and in some instances
searching for members of their family.
The E. B. Eddy house which was des-
troyed was a historical building. When
the Duke of Connaught visited this dis
trict thirty years ago, a grand ball was
given him. THE CASTLE as it was
familiary known, was selected as the
scene. A large marquee was erected on
the lawn and here the dancing took
place, supper being served in the house.
With the house several magnificent pic
lures, imported from England, have
been consumed in the flames.

For Larcenys

Salina, April 27.-Elias Bjorn and Mark
Gunnison were arrested at their homes in
Lindsborg by Sheriff Swedenburg and
Undersheriff Meyer and brought here and
arraigned before Justice Kingman, charg-
ed with grand larceny. The two parties
were arrested on a. complaint made out
by William L. Tate, Of Brookville, in
which he implicated them with stealing a
steer from him last October.

Bjorn, q cattleman of Aindsborg, sent
his brother Elias and Mark GunnisOn to
the Tate ranch to get a number of cattle
belonging to him and drive them up to
of Mr.. Tate they not only drove away Joe
Bjorn's cattle, but took steer belonging
to himself. Mr.. Tate soon missed the
steer and made out a complaint before
the county attorney. The sheriff began
work on the case. which ended in the
arrest of the two parties at Lindsborg.
The parties each gave $500 for their APP
pearance at the preliminary hearing, next
Monday and were released.

NEW TRAIN SERVICE.
A Car Which Runs From Topeka to
Portland, Oregon.

During the last few days the Union
Pacific has inaugurated through car
service from Topeka to Portland, Ore
gon, making the remarkable time of
81 hours between the two points This
car is a tourist sleeping car, and is at
tached to the train leaving Topeka at
1890, noon, and, without change of
cars, reaches Portland at 7:30 on the
morning of the third day. These sleep
ing cars are the finest second-class
sleeping cars ever put into passenger
service in the west, and are patronized
by some of the best people in the coun-
try The fact of it is, that a score OF
through tickets in this kind of service
are now sold to one of what is known
as the hrst-class ticket. The cars are
clean and commodious. and the service
is excellent in every respect. The up
holstering in this particular car on the
Union Pacific line is of plush.

The Boer plan of campaign appears
to be to wear out the British. They
select a point easy of defense and hold
It until the enemy has gathered to-
gether in the locality an army sufficient
in size to deliver a crushing blow, but
just when the stroke is about to- fall it
is discovered that the object of it is
not there. Then the whole proceeding
is gone over again. True, Cronje was
caught in a movement of this kind, but
It is unlikely to happen twice.
