Say the Article Sent Out to the
Penitentiary is Filthy.
FROM AN OLD SLOUGH
The Water is Pumped, Insists
One Resident.
Effort Being Made to Remedy
the Evil Immediately.

Leavenworth. Jan. 81 communica-
ton has been received by Jacob Roden-
haus of this city, signed by Donald Nc
Phail of Lansing. The letter is a COM
plant against the quality OF the water
furnished the people of Lansing and the
inmates of the penitentiary by the state
of Kansas. In the letter he says that
the water furnished is taken into the
reservoir from a slough and not from
running water.
The slough IS in the middle OF a big
sand bar and was caused by the high
water last spring. When the river IS
high the sand bar is covered with water.
but when it begins to go down the water
remains in the low place on the BAR
thus forming a sort of a pond
A few years ago the engineers at the
prison moved the suction pipes out on
this bar AT the time the change was
made quite a large stream of water
passed down the Kansas side but or late
years the water has been getting less
and less, until finally there is hardly
any fresh water to be had on this side
Of the bar
The water that is in the slough has
been there since the high water last
spring. An effort is being made to have
the pipes moved to the east side Of the
bar. where a dam can be built that
will hold enough water to supply the
town and the institution. In the con-
dition in which the water is now, it is
nearly impossible to use it for drinking
purposes. On several different oc-
caS1OnS the ClI1zenA OF Lansing nave neAA
to have the water supply cut off, the
water being too filthy for use. When
the hydrants were not allowed to run
for some time they ould give forth such
an odor, that the people were afraid to
use the water.
The representatives Of this county will
probably be asked to investigate the
condition of the water and endeavor to
have the pipes moved further east.
1t generally takes quite a little time
to move these pipes. as pile driver will
be required to drive new piles across
the slough. The people of Lansing think
that this should be done before the
spring rise sets in

Sells to the Reading.

New York, Jan 81 P. Morgan &
Co. are reported by a Wall street news
bureau as announcing that they have
bought control of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, and have offered it to
the Reading company, which has ac-
cepted the proposition
Morgan & Co. confirmed the report
that they had acquired control of the
Jersey Central railroad, and that they
had sold this control to the Reading
railroad.
CONFIRM THE REPORT.
Philadelphia, Jan. 5-President Harris
and First Vice President Voorhees,, Of the
Reading railway company. today prac-
tically confirmed the story from New
York that J. Pierpont Morgan had Sc
cured the Central Railroad Of New
Jersey and offered the property to the
Reading company. Beyond admitting
that the offer of Morgan & Co had been
accepted, neither of the officials would
discuss the subject nor would they make
known the terms upon which the trans
fer was made. over $1,000 shares Of
Reading stock were dealt in in this
market today.

FOR RAISING NOTES.
Two Men Arrested Alleged to Have
Changed Elves to Tens

Kansas City, Jan. st. r. McManus,
of the United States secret service, re-
turned yesterday from trip to Okla
homa and Kansas, where he went to in
vestigate the cases of Martin L. Ham
mond and Lee S. FouItz, now in Jail at
Medicine Lodge, Kan, charged with
raising government So bills to $10s and
passing them.
Hammond and Foultz, whose homes
are at Augusta, o. T., were arrested
some time ago. 1t is alleged that they
passed raised notes on merchants IN
Kiowa, Kan, and Augusta, and Ham
nond is charged with having also pass
ed some in Pond Greek, o. T.
Mr.. McManus says the work on the
bills was very crudely done and should
have fooled nobody. Two strangers
drove into Kiowa late one afternoon and
were about the town until dark. Then
one of them went to the store of a local
merchant, bought a pair Of socks and
gave him a raised bill. AS it was dark,
he had no chance to look at the money
closely when he first received it, but al
ter the stranger left, taking his change
with him. he examined it by the light
of a lamp and discovered that he had
been duped.
He went out and found the town mar
shall, and Hammond and Foultz were
arrested just as they were starting to
leave a livery stable, and charged with
having passed the money A short time
later another merchant reported that
he also had been beaten in a similar
way, and a comparison of the bills re-
ceived made clear that they were the
work of the same persons.
At present Hammond and Foultz are
being held by the state authorities. Mr.
McManus says the proper procedure
would have been to take them before
the nearest United States commissioner
He does not think the state courts have
Jurisdiction in the matter.
Hammond was formerly in the har-
ness business at Augusta and Foultz
was employed with a railroad gang
,tc1,4 &c inc a q
former recently visited his father in
Pond Greek, and it was at about this
time that raised bills turned up there
Three of them were passed on Augusta

DEATH TAKES HER.
Prima Donna Soprano of BOs-
tOnians Dies in Denver.

The famous Bostonians, who sing
1.-THE Viceroy'' at the Crawford tonight
had sad news to greet them when they
arrived in Topeka this morning. Miss
Belle Fremont, the prima donna so
prano, died at the fremont hotel, in
Denver, at o'clock last night, of pneu-
monia~ Miss Fremont was a favorite
with the company, and the great oper-
attic family was deeply touched and
panied to hear of her death.
The deceased was Miss Belle Bartlett
off the stage. She was a niece of Jessie
Bartlett Davis, likewise of Josephine
Bartlett, who is also singing with the
BostOniaus. Her father, Frank Bartlett,
of Chicago, reached Denver at O'Clock
this morning, after a hurried but fruit
less journey to reach his daughters bed
side before death took her.
Numerous expressions of sympthy and
coincidence were sent by members Of the
company from here to the bereaved rela.-
tives. Among them was the following
dispatch to her father, Mr.. Frank
I'VE beg to share your sorrow in your
great bereavement. We shall miss her
as friend and an artist. Accept for
the family our sincerest sympathy.
''BARNABEE & NC DONALD"
Miss Bartlett was touring for her first
season. Jessie Bartlett Davis. her aunt,
had looked after her education and she
was starting on a promising career. She
sang the part OF Beatrice IN The
Viceroy,'' and was understudy for Miss
Clark as s.Yvonne'' in 1.-THE Serenade-"
She was about % years Of age.
w. H. Mcdonald said: Miss Bart
lett was a great favorite with US, and
gave promise of a successful career.
The members of the company are all
much grieved at her sad end.
I'VE also left Miss Adele Rafter in a
hospital in Denver, but we hear she IS
convalescing. There We're half dozen
of the company i'll with the grippe and
bad colds in Denver"
Miss Hilda Clark spoke in deep sym
pathy of Miss Bartlett's death. "She
was a, clever girl she said. Miss Clark
suffered an accident in Denver. By a
fall on the stage she severely sprained
her knee. She has not since appeared
until last night in St Joseph. There is
small prospect that she viii sing to-
night
Il may appear tonight; I do not know
yet" she said. Last night I could not
move about very freely, and sang under
great disadvantage"
Miss Clark walks stiffly and with
decided limp. Miss Pierson, her alter
nate, will doubtless appear as '@Tivolinf"
in her stead tonight.
Mildred Rogers sings Beatrice" and
Kathryn Russell "F'iorettay" Miss Raft
er's role.
Manager Bacon said Denver was a
most unluclxy stop for the Bostonians,
and from the trend Of events it seems
to have been so.
