KANSAS w WITHOUT PRO
lection AGAINST FIRE.
WATER COURCES RUN Low
Mills and Electric Light Plants In
Many Places Compelled to
Shut Down.

Topeka, July 13-The suffering in
Kansas from the prolonged drouth
is more intense than ever. It is hard
ly expected that there will be n
lasting relief before fall. The fire de-
partments in Topeka, Atchison, En-
poria, Lawrence and other Of the
larger cities have addressed appeals
to the people asking them to shut off
all their MIGRANTS, whenever the fire
whistle is blown. SO as to give the
proper amount of pressure on the
water mains leading to fires.
There is not a city in the state
which is tonight able to cope with a
fire. Buildings have reached such an
intense degree Of ~dryness that a fire
will start on the slightest p~rovocation
and once started in some parts Of
cities enormous losses would be sure
to result.
Reports from the country districts
tell that all streams are running low.
Mills and electric light plants that
were run by water power have been
forced to close.
Most of the ponds have been dry
for two weeks, and the question of
where to obtain water for stock is
one of the most important PROPOSE
tons that has confronted the Kansas
farmer for years. AS a result stock
is being placed on sale at ridicuously
low prices. Some have said they
would even give their stock away, if
some relief did not come soon, as

TRIUMPH OF SURGERY
Man Survives with His Head AL
most Torn from His
Body.

Chicago, July 12-Although his
head is almost torn from his body,
Joseph Burdick is still alive, furnish
ing, it is said, one of the most remark
able known to physicians. Bur-
dicks head hangs by a mere shred,
having been all but taken off, by a
huge piece of metal, which fell across
his neck, by the overturning of a
fiat a yesterday. The trachea and
larynx were completely tori away
and the unfortunate man was taken
to a hospital, presumably to die.
By some good fortune his neck was
not broken nor were the jugular vein
and carotid artery injured, although
both were fully exposed where the
flesh had been torn away. At the
hospital Burdick was promptly oper,
ated upon and equipped with a de-
vice for breathing, which projects
from his throat just above the collar
bone. DR.. L. Clark Garry, in speak
ing of the case today, said: "Hunt,
the medical authority, cites only q
cases of a character that even ap-
proach this and none of them ap-
proaches it in completeness of the
work Of destruction.
ut is safe to assume that the in
jured man will live, and he will be
confronted by a peculiar condition.
He will never be able to utter a sound,
not even a groan. He will have to
acquire the means of communication

San Francisco, July 13-San Fran

honor of the International Epwortll

Everything is in shape to receive

new arrivals, numbering about $500.
Five thousand delegates regis

HAD HIM HIPNOTIzED
Highly Sensational Murder Com
mitted on Union Pacific
Passenger Train.

Rawlins, Wyo, July ia man
named Rogers was shot to death by
Ned Harley Copeland en- Union Pa
cifc train No. 6 last night. Copeland
was travelling from Stockton, Cal,
to Council Bluffs, Ia. When at a
point six miles east of Wamsuter he
walked into where Rogers was sit
ting, and at once began shooting at
him, saying, There, take that" He
shot three times, the bullets entering
Rogers breast and he died instantly.
Copeland was arrested and is now
in Jail here. When asked what caus-
ed him to kill Rogers, he said: He
had me hypnotized, and l had to do
it," Copeland is undoubtedly out of
his mind. AS the killing took place
in Sweetwater county, Copeland will
be taken to Green River and turned
over to the authorities there.

EXTENSION NOT CONTEMPLATED

st. Paul Road Will Not Build Into
Montana.
New York, July IA high official
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway company says that there is
no truth in the newspaper dispatches
from Helena, Mont, that the st. Paul
has decided to build westward from
it's present South Dakota terminal.
He adds that the st. Paul not only has
not taken any steps to build such a
line, but that it does not even con
template building in that territory, in
the nea future at any rate. 1t is
estimated by one who is well inform
ed on the situation that it would be
the height Of folly for the st. Paul to
begin the construction OF a line
through that territory before more
is known about the effect on the st.
Paul of the acquisition of the Burling-
ton by the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific.

CLAIMS IT TO. BE LARGELY SPITE
Hinsey Gives His Version of the Trouble Between
Himself and Endowment Rank Board
Of Control.

"They claimed that l voluntarily
resigned. That is not true. They
made it impossible for me to continue
as president, / having long previously
contended that the president of the
board ought to devote his entire time
to the business of the rank and be
paid a salary to be commensurate
with the service. Taking advantage
of this expression Of mine, a resolu-
ton was offered to that effect and to
be consistent l had to vote for it.
The resolution passed and, of course,
| resigned because the endowment
rank could not pay a salary which I
could afford to accept.
"These are the exact conditions IN
der which l resigned and no other.
When l resigned as president l also
desired to resign al a member of the
board, but my request was vigorously
opposed by the whole board and l
concluded to continue as a member
of the board"
Hinsey late this afternoon resign
ed as imperial prince Of the Dramatic
Order Knights of Khorassan, a So
cial adjunct to the Knights of Pythias.
He states that he did so because he
believed it for the best, 30 as to re-

Murderer Proves to Be Defaulting
Bank Teller.

Omaha, July 13-Copeland was a
trusted teller in the Nebraska Nation
al bank of this city for ten years
prior to August, 1899. He left the
city at that time, ostensibly for a
summer vacation and to visit the
eastern states. At the bank Copeland
was designated as the "B. & NJ" tell
er, he having charge Of the deposits
of the Burlington & Missouri railroad.
A month after his departure the Bur
lington account at the bank showed
a shortage of $4,000. Half of this
amount was made good by Copeland's
brother-in-law and the remainder by
his bondsmen. Copeland was heard
from recently on the Pacific coast
and it is expected that Rogers recog-
nized him on the train.

Chicago, July 13-John A. Hinsey,
formerly president of the board of
control of the endowment rank, K. of
p, today made a statement regard
ing the report of the supreme chan
cellor, Ogden H. Fethers, and the
board Of control to the special con
vention of the supreme lodge, just
held in this city.
Hinsey denies the statement of mis-
management and bad investment of
funds, going into minute details and
says: For the benefit of those of
my friends who do not know the sit
uation, l want to say there is a great
deal of animus on the part of Fethers
and his followers back of all this pro-
ceeding. The cause for this bitter
feeling on his part consists of my re-
fusal to support him in 1896 and
again in 1898 for supreme vice chan
cellor.
HE succeeded in being elected in
the 1898 convention, held at Indian
apolis, and after the contest was over
threatened to drive me out of the
order. again refused to support
him for supreme chancellor at the
supreme lodge session held at Detroit
In 1900. This action Of mine seeming
" added to his enmity to me. Being
supreme chancellor, he was ex-oficio

Frigate Minnesota Stricken From

Washington, July 12-The secre-
tary of the navy today ordered the
famous old Minnesota to be stricken
from the naval register. A board of
condemnation has just appraised her
at $4,000 and she will be sold at
public auction at Boston, where she
now lies.
The Minnesota is one of the most
noted vessels of he old navy. She was
built at Washington in 1855 and was
the flagship of Admiral Goldsboro in
the famous battle between the Mer-
rimac and union fleet in Hampton
roads the day before the Monitor ar

INDEPENDENCE SHOWS WON
DERFUL SAILING POWER.
CONSTITUTION ALSO LOSES
With Club Topsail Gone Boston
Boat Is Beaten By Small
Margin.

Newport, July 12-Columbia again
defeated Constitution in today's race
by a margin, c~orrecter time, of two
minutes and 10 seconds. Independence
being once more last, after losing her
topmast at the very start. The Bos-
ton yacht, however, sailed such a
plucky ace after having been shorn
of her top gear, that it is generally
believed here tonight that she would
have won today's race but for the ac-
cident.
For 20 minutes after the start she
sailed with the wreck of her club top
sail trailing astern, while for six
more she was motionless, luffed in
the wind, while her crew cleared
away the tangle. Meanwhile the two
other yachts were speeding away un-
der all sail, yet Independence was
only beaten seven minutes and AZ
seconds at the first mark and sailed
the second leg of the triangle in less
time than any Of the other yachts,
although they carried club topsails.
In the run home the two Bristol
boats, under great press of sail, beat
the Lawson yacht a little over four
ing of independence did not in any
way detract from the interest in the
contest between the two Herreshoff
yachts.
Columbia was never headed by Con-
stitution, but the new boat gave the
old one a warm contest. Columbia
had the best of both reaches, but Con
stitution sailed the windward leg LIZ
minutes faster than the old boat.
The result of the four contests be-
tween these three boats leaves much
to be determined, especially as to
their relative merits in anything ex-
cept light airs. Today's race was
sailed in a Is knot wind, the north
easter today being stronger than the
Southwestern of yesterday. !.
The accident to independence oc-
Cured within two minutes after the
start, the preventer back stay break
ing near the cleat so that the topmast
with no support broke short off at
the masthead. Fortunately non Of
the mainsail halyards or stays of the
head sails were affected, SO that after
the wreck was cleared away the yacht
was able to keep on
The race today closed the series
and the yachts will not meet again
for at least ten days, Constitution
going to Bristol, Columbia to New
York and independence probably to
New London. Of the four events UNI
der the Newport Yacht Racing asso-
citation Constitution won the first two
in light airs, beating the old yacht
by a large margin, while Columbia
won the last two in close finishes
with the new Bristol yacht. Inde-
pendence has lost in every race, al
though quite near the other two
yachts in the last two contests.
