MAY NOT PAY REDEEM.
Commissioners Talk of DisallOw-
ing His Claim.

The county commissioners will proba-
bly, refuse to pay the bills of Assistant
Attorney General A L Redden for the
prosecution of Shawnee county joint
lists.
Redden's compensation is to be $25
for each count he convicts a jointist on
and 20 be paid 80 days after the con-
victed jointist is released from serving
sentence in the county Jail. So far
Judge Redden has convicted Mrs. Lena
Mahana on four counts, William Thorn
ton on eight counts and Judd Richard
son on five counts and who are all Serv-
ing time in the county jail. not having
appealed their cases. Judge Redden
will present a bill for s425 to the county
commissioners 80 days after they are
released as his fee for the total of II
counts upon which they We're convicted.
The commissioners do not feel certain
that the county will have to pay the fee
as the pay of an assistant attorney gen
eral is provided for in a rather vague
way in the act which placed the county
attorneys ON a salary instead of a fee
system. The $25 a count system was
provided for under the old law and the
commissioners think there is no law
authorizing them to pay Judge Redden
$25 a count.

THE FUTURE GOLD SUPPLY.

Prof Shaler, of Harvard, discusses, in
abe international. from the geologist's
view, the question of the future supply
of gold. After describing the three gem
eral conditions under which gold is
found. in veins or lodes. In detritus
and in subterranean rock, he notes the
rapid progress that has been made in
the process of extraction, so great that
1t costs a third what it did in 1850 to ex-
tract a ton of gold, and in the inven-
tion. among others of the cyanide pro-
cess that makes profitable and working
of low grade ores yielding less than 50
q ton. Other elements have cheapened
production. power drills. explosives
hoisting machinery and other ap-
pliances.
1t is from the detritus. the alluvial
deposits in which Mr.. Shaler expects
the future greatest supply to come.
While there is no accurate data on
which to base precise prediction or con-
elusion. he thinks it is probable that
gold-bearing veins are likely within
twenty years. to produce over $500, 900,
600 annually. but alluvial deposits are
so much more general, are SO widely
distributed and can now be so success
fully and profitably worked, that he
predicts they will furnish the greater
supply ne instances the dredge in
vented in New Zealand. that. with labor
at two and a half dollars a day and cost
of power based on wood at local prices
a cubic yard of gravel can be lifted,
washed, the gold extracted and the
waste discharged at cost of 21z cents
He finds areas of these deposits in this
country. in South America Russia and
Australia, and ventures an opinion that
the supply from them within a few
years Will exceed that from veins and
deep mining.
The views of Prof. Shaler should af-
ford some encouragement to the Kan

ROOSEVELT THE HUNTER.
Tells How He Killed Mountain Lions
in the Rockies.

The story of President Roosevelt's
mountain lion hunt in the Rockies last
winter written by himself, is continued
in Scribner's for November. In it the
president graphically describes the
chase of a cougar, lasting all day, and
the final bringing to bay of the animal
in the moonlight ON the face of a cliff.
Because of the rocky formation, 1t
could not be seen from below, and the
president and his party went to the top
of. the cliff to get at it. The cougar had
taken refuge on a rocky ledge about
eight feet below the top of the cliff.
The guide, Golf, held Roosevelt by the
legs and lowered him over the cliff to a
point where he could get in a shot The
skin and head of this cougar were
among those he brought back with him.
The first kill of the president dis
appointed him as to the gameness of
the animal. A small female was freed,
but she finally jumped down among the
dogs and was putting up a game fight
While dogs worried her at the head and
the hounds were swapping at her, tanks,
the president went in among the yelp
ing dogs and put his hunting knife into
her body just behind the shoulder. The
president admits that he was disap-
pointed in the sport.
But the next cougar, a female and a
magnificent animal, gave them plenty
of excitement. She was started by the
dogs and ran to a cave where she had
three cubs. The dogs followed her in
and she deserted the cubs-which were
killed by the dogs. much to the presi-
dents regret-and took refuge in
small pinyon tree. She too leaped down
among the dogs and fought fercely.
The president attempted to despatch
her with knife and she was prevented
from springing upon him only by one
of the dogs Selling her paw.
The president recites the damage
done the pack of dogs and tells of the
difficulties encountered in following the
trail. The weather at the time was
about 20 degrees below zero.
On the last day of the hunt the presi-
dent killed his largest cougar, which
weighed 227 pounds.

but they accomplished their purpose
and took Mrs. Domino away with them
Where the woman is now is what

He says that she has not had any

Mr.. and Mrs. Domino have been mar

HAVE THEY SMALLPOX?
Four Children i'm POtWin School
Sent Home.

Four children were sent home from
Potwin school this morning as small
pox suspects. This action was taken
in conformity with the rules which have
been adopted by the board of health
and the board of education. The cases
were reported TO the city physician, and
he is making an investigation this af-
ternoon. The cases are located at 109
Woodlawn avenue, Ill Woodlawn ave
nue., 4O6 Greenwood avenue and BAT
Shawnee avenue. The names of the
patients were not returned to the board
of health.
The board of education insists that
the cases are nothing but chickenpox,
but the board of health has just about
quit trying to distinguish between
chickenpoX and smallpox. All diseases
of that sort look alike to them.
