CIRCUS IS COMING.
viii Unload at EighthAvenue Switch
Tomorrow Morning.

Sells & Gray's circus will come to To-
peka from Kansas City tomorrow
morning and will unload on the Santa
F'e switch at Eighth avenue at about .
o'clock The circus tents will be raised
at the corner of Ninth and Jefferson
streets.
Sells & Gray's circus has been at
tracing large crowds everywhere. One
of the large attractions is the Bovala-
pus It is an animal found in the Phil
ippine Islands and was given its name
by the late Noble Prentis.
The Lexington, Kentucky, Morning
Democrat says:
ITO mention all of the many features
of the show would be out of place, buC
the novelty and daring Of some of the
acts command attention. The finale of
the show is the acrobatic act of the
famous Eddie family. They are without
doubt the peers of the aerobatic world.
Words cannot describe their feats of
skill. Tt is simply wonderful. 1t would
be well to remark that this is the high
est paid act in the country today, bar
ring none, and they earn their salary.
Another feature of the performance
was the sensat ional bareback riding of
Miss Edna, who is the only woman who
has succeeded in turning a complete
somersault on the back of a galloping
horse. Her work was clean cut and
finished despite the fact that she has
been in the business only two years."

LAWYERS FUSS.
Mrs. Kennedy's Trial Is De-
layed by Argument
Over Admission of Testimony of
Edward w. Lewis.

Kansas City. June 12.-Thiss the ninth
day of the trial of Lulu Prince-Kennedy
for the murder of her husband, Philip
II. Kennedy, saw no abatement of in
terest in the case. The court room was
crowded two hours before Judge Wof-
ford appeared, dozens of women bring
ing their lunches, prepared to remain
through the hour and half noon re-
cess. The prisoner was even more
cheerful than yesterday She laughed
and talked constantly with those about
her, and occasionally prompted her at
tCrneys to bring out a desired point
H. FL. Allen, for whom the defendant
had worked in the capacity of stenog-
rapher, told of Kennedy calling on her
at his Office frequently. Other employees
of Aliens office corroborated this tesu-
mony.

VIII Prince scuf1ing with Thos. Ken
nedy, the dead mans brother, who had
tried to disarm Mrs. Kennedy A police
man attempted to arrest Prince and she
had said: Let that man go; did the
shooting"
G. F. Wood, who had boarded at the
Prince house, testified that Kennedy
called on Miss Prince at numerous
times last summer. He had seen her
walking in front of Kennedy's office
after the forced marriage, and she ap-
peared careworn and worried.
Edward w Lewis, a shipping clerk,
began to tell of a conversation he had
with Kennedy after the latter's mar
riage but its admission was objected to.
A lengthy argument ensued.

TONS OF DYNAMITE
From SpanishTOrpedOesW Will Be
Exploded at the NarrOws.

New York, June 12.-Three and one
half tons of dynamite are to be explod
ed under the narrows between Fort
Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth. The
dynamite was used in torpedoes during
the Spanish war as a defense to the
harbor. After the war Major H. H.
Adams. Of the engineer corps, instead
of exploding the torpedoes extracted
the charges and stored the dynamite.
Major w L. Marshall has advertised
it for sale, but there have been no bids
for it.
Major Marshall has therefore decided
to sink the dynamite in casks of 500
pounds each into the waters of the
Narrows. Electric connections are to
be made with the forts and the dyna-
mite will be exploded by the touch of a
key. When Major Marshall sets off his
1900 pounds of dynamite Staten Island
fishermen expect to get a wonderful
catch.

Work of Y. M. C. A. Convention
Begins in Earnest.

Boston, June 1.-THE work of the in
ternational convention of the z. M. c.
"A. which began yesterday was in full
swing in all its branches today. The
presentation of Y. NJ c. A problems
and of subjects bearing on the presen-
tatiOn of the work of fifty years was the
main feature of today's programme.
The day opened with a praise service.
The floor OF the great hall of the Me
chanicS' building was well filled by the
delegates before the opening exercises
were held, but the galleries were almost
empty.
Bruno Hobbs, of Cripple Creek. was
unanimously chosen secretary of the
convention.
The first address of the day was given
by Judge Spencer, of St Louis, who
spoke on the subject THE Lessons of
Fifty Years of Y. NJ c. A Work" He
pointed out the fact that wherever men
are and can be reached as a. class, there
is the place for association work.
Judge Spencer was followed by Her
bert B. Ames, Of Montreal
THE Contribution of the Young Mems
Christian Association toward the SOlu-
ton Of the City Problems" was cOnsid-
cred by Mr.. Ames. He spoke in part
as follows:
THE solution of the city problem lies
in successful effort on behalf of those
whose lives are capable of development
for those at least for whom the idea
Of expansion is yet conceivable. To
fOrtify individual character so that he
who is yet not overbOrne may feel
within him an expanding, an uplifting
force, a power Of resistance sufficient to
enable ~ u to develop despite oppressive
conditions; to weaken by every legiti-
mate means the power of evil to attract
and the forces of adverse environment
to injure; to convert the very circum
stances of associated human life into
an uplifting agency-these are the lines
along which we may N ost hopefully
deploy our forces to attack the city
problem"
Mr.. Ames also said that the phase of
the question which lay nearest his own
personal experience was the contribu-
ton which the Young Mems Christian
association might render by assisting
the movement for the betterment of
civic conditions.

SUICIDE OF CONSUL STERN.
Demise of q. s. Official at hamburg
Not Caused by Poverty

Washington June 12-From United
States Consul General Guenther at
Frankfort and Consular Agent Bardell
at hamburg who succeeded the late
Louis Stern at that post, the state de-
partment received official news of the
suicide Of Mr.. Stern. A private letter
dated May 81 from Consul Hughes at
Coburg, throws doubt upon the assump-
ton that financial distress was the
cause of suicide, for in it the writer
states that Mr.. Stern had been success
full in securing a managing directorate
in a large basket making concern at
Lichtenfels, at salary of So 600 per
annum, which was 80 per cent more
than he made at his consular position
and in addition he was to be allowed a
considerable commission.

Criticism Of American Locomotives by
English Unjust

New York. June 12.-'They have no
real American LOGON olives abroad,
strictly speaking. and the critics of
these engines do not know what they
are.'s
So said A NJ. Watt, superintendent of
motive power and rolling stock for the
New York Central railroad system He
was speaking of the cabled reports of
the unfavorable criticisms passed by
foreign railroad officials upon the Amer
ican-nade locomotives with which they
have lately been experimenting
1.-The locomotives they refer to- Mr..
Watt continued ARE American in
make true enough but they are English
and foreign in dimensions. calibre and
powers Owing to the restrictions made
necessary by narrowing and lower tun
nels and other essential differences
which characterize English roads as
compared with Ours-and the same is
largely true, I understand. on the con-
tnent-it is simply impossible for them
TO utilize such a N achine as We now re
gard as a truly American locomotive.
The result is they get a sort of hybrid
affair built by American skill, but on
foreign lines and to meet foreign re
quirements, and then if it does not
prove to be all they had hoped for they
proceed to criuclse the American loco
motives"
Mr. Watt went on to say that in Eng
land the practice is to nurse locomotives
and let them grow old. while in this
country the practice is to run them hard
and use them to their fullest capacity.

TIMELY POULTRY NOTES.

Hens will drink water in the winter.
The lice and other vermin may be
dormant in cold weather, but it is as
well to keep a lookout for them.
The farmer who wishes some nice
early pullets for winter layers in 1901
should be mating his fowls for them
now.
If your hens have not had their
combs frozen this winter proper care
will bring them round to laying in a
few weeks.
Nice fresh eggs are just as nice for
winter use as for summer, yet so many
think they must use packed" eggs or
"pickled" eggs then.
Scalded wheat bran makes good
morning meal for laying hens. If the
water has some clean potatoes in it it
will be so much the better.

from the cob in snowbank to live will

EFFECTS OF FEEDING.
Instructive Results Obtained by
Poultry Experiments Conducted
by Scientific Observers

In some experiments carried on at
one of the western stations two lots
of hens were fed differently, with the
purpose of ascertaining what the ef-
feet would be on the winter produc-
ton of eggs. One lot was fed merely
wheat screenings and corn, while the
other and more favored lot had a va
riety of food and meat in abundance.
The lot fed on wheat and corn alone
did not begin to lay till nearly March,
but they laid during the year an av-
erage of $50 eggs. The better-treated
lot only Laid 1873 eggs each. But a
very large share of the eggs from The
well-fed hens came in December, jan
uary and February, when eggs were
high and the average price obtained
for them was Is cents per dozen. The
eggs from the hens fed on wheat and
corn brought only II cents per dozen.
Thus the eggs from the hens that
had mixed ration brought $3.50
while the eggs from the other lot
brought $1.65, difference of Is cents
per fowl for the year. The reason is
obvious to every poultryman. The
other hens matured very slowly and
did not reach the point where laying
was a necessity till the time when the
price of eggs fell to the lowest point
