lola, Kan, March 2S.-Tn the little
farm house Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. H. F'uns-
ton, parents of Gen Funston, there is
joy and pride that are too deep for
words. Five miles from telegraph wires
ana the daily papers, the news of the
GROWING achievement Of their sons life
was brought TO them by the Associated
Press representative. Mr.. Funston was
across the fields husking corn when told

TT certainly adds a browning glory to
his career. I was afraid when he start

treacherOuS natives At first I doubted
the truth Of the story. but the more I
thought of it, the more credence I gave
it. This is the first time ever saw his
mother worry.
"Ohs it is the biggest thing of the cen
tury SO far" Mr.. Funston exclaimed IS

know what Fred will do. He wrote that
he expected to come home next summer,
but might 60 back, as a civilian of
course. Now the government may give
him something that would change his
mind. I don't want to say anything
about that
Mrs. Funston was found at the house.

END HAS COME.
Kansas Centennial EXPOSE
tiOn Association Closes.

The final wind up Of the affairs of the
Kansas Semi-CentenniaI Exposition
company was made this morning at a
meeting of the stockholders and direc-
tors of the association in the office of
the secretary Of agriculture, F. d. Co
burn.
The surplus of the assessments on the
capital stock of the association which
remain in the hands of the treasurer of
the association will be transferred to
the Soldiers Orphans Home at Atchi-
son.
Much talk has been heard on all sides
recently in favor Of maintaining the or
ganization of the Semi Centennial assoc
iation and giving an exposition in 1911. The
board of directors OF the association feel
that this move would not be advisable.
That if an effort is made to give an ex-
position in this year another company
would better be formed to look after
the project.
With the closing of the efforts of the
association one of the most laudable
movements in the history of the state is
closed. The holding of an exposition such
as was planned by the promoters of the
fair would have accomplished more in
advertising Kansas than any other thing.
While the promoters of the exposition
are not sore and knocking on everyone
and everything in general it may be
truthfully said that a great mistake was
made when the project was killed in the

Col Corliss Says Aguinaldo Had Lost
His Prestige.

Denver. March 2S.-Col A. W Corliss,
who returned last week from the Philip
pines was highly pleased to learn of the
capture of the rebel chieftain AguinaldO.
But it would have been better If a mule
had kicked the little upstart to death .
said Col. Corliss. The question now is
what will we do with him2.
Il do not consider the capture of Agui-
naldo the most important thirg that
could have happened, though it may
have the effect to send all of the rebels
tumbling into surrender as fast as they
can. Gen. Trias who surrendered a few
days ago was more important to my
mind than al. of the other fellows. The
Filipinos have come to appreciate that a
hero who hides out in the bushes and
keeps away from the front as much as
possible is not much of hero, and
Aguinaldo has lost his old time prestige.
Now I hope to hear Of the capture
or surrender of Gen. Caillies. He has
more influence and following than Agui-
naldo has had When he is captured, or
surrenderS hostilfties will be near an
end

BAD MEXICAN LAW.
American Trainmen Suffer
Hardships at Ell Pas0.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 2S-Another crew
was thrown in jail at Juarez today as
the result of the Mexican Central pas
senger train running over and Killing
Mexican. This makes the second crew
within a week that has been arrested at
Juarez and incarcerated, bringing the
total up to fifty-two men. The law I'M
der which such Imprisonment occurs is
an old one of the republic and dates back
to the year 1920. The injustice of a sta
tute which provides for the incarcera-
ton of a whole train crew, even though
the person killed met death through his
own carelessness. is stirring up the or1AzT
of railroad conductors to a fever heat
and the matter is being agitated here
so strongly that it promises to assume
International proportions
At the preliminary hearing of Engineer
Kelly and Brakemen Anderson and
Aeagher. who composed the freight train
on the Mexican Central when a tramp
was run over in the southern part OF
the state Of Chihuahua on March 19, al
though it was shown the crew were en-
tirely blameless. they We're held at the
Juarez Jail to await the pleasure Of the
court which is to try them for murder.

BURGLARS AT WORK.
Crack a Safe Less Than Two
Blocks From Police Station.

The Singer sewing machine office in
the Office block on East Fifth street was
entered BY robbers last night and the
safe was robbed of SIP. The police were
called there early this morning. and they
found that the work was done by anna
tours. The place is less than two blocks
from the police station.
When the men in the Office left last
night they say that the safe was locked
but this seems to be contrary to the
facts in the case. The police found that
the door of the safe had been opened,
and that the doors to the inner apart
1nents of the safe had been broken open
with a hammer and tools which were
evidently taken from a blacksmith shop.
The tools were found in the room. There
is no clue to the burglars, but the Off
GERS are working on the case, and some
thing relative to the case may be
brought out in a. few days.

work should have been done by a KAN
