facts Of interest; By the Wichltan. By the
resident Of sedgw.ck county. by the Kan

States their cause is felt. These figures
show how great the prosperity is that has
settled over the whole country. and espe-
ciany in Wichita Moreover, It is a last
ing prosperity, for the money accounted
for in these instruments belongs TO

A minister's wife had quite a tussle
with coffee and her experience is inter

of my training as a nurse while on night
duty I became addicted to coffee drinking.

morning, when the patients were asleep.

The board of control will today issue
its statement of findings in the case of
Steward Rogers and Bookkeeper Tegner,
the discharged officials of the st. Peter
insane hospital. The statement was to
have been issued yesterday, but was de-
layed owing to the Red Wing matter
being under advisement
AS stated in T he G lobe yesterday
Messrs. Rogers and Tegner were before
the board on Thursday afternoon re
garding the case. The board did not
give the men just the kind of a hear
ing they desired. They were not shown
the findings and allowed to file excep-
tions to them, but they were questioned
by the board in regard to certain things.
The board put both men under oath and
took from them a statement relative to
the unbalanced condition of the ST. Pc
ter hospital supplies. These statements
will be included in the statement given
out by the board today.
The statement issued by the board
will give complete account of the con-
ditiOns just as found by the board on
their investigation. 1t is understood
that the findings will not make any di-
rect charge against the men, but VIII
seek to justify their removal. The atti-
tude of the board is this:
There were discrepancies in the books
and in the supplies of the institution.
The board does not know how they oc-
Cured, and it cannot be absolutely
proved just how they did occur. The
board has no evidence to prove that any
one other than the two men in charge
were to blame, except the statements
Of the men themselves. This being the
case it was necessary under the circum-
stances to let the men out and begin
over again with new men on a basis
that will give the board control of the
situation. Members of the board de-
care that they have no personal feel
ing in the matter and no desire to do
Mr.. Rogers or Mr.. Tegner any injus-
tice, and do not think they are. The
board did advise Mr.. Rogers to drop the
matter entirely, in which event, it is
said, they did not intend to publish any
statement.
prominent Republican official who
is deeply interested in the case said
yesterday: 81 hope the findings of the
board viii prove that they have desired
to do full justice in the case. Until they
make their report we should not criti-
else them: However, If the report of
the board seems unfair and prejudiced
to the friends of Mr.. Rogers, the matter
viii not be dropped. Hundreds of good
people have volunteered to subscribe
money to help Mr.. Rogers make a fight
for his rights in case they are denied
him. l hope, however, and believe, that
the board of control will not MAKE such
a course necessary

On this occas on Mr.. Payne confined his
efforts to his test in clairvoyance, which
has already been fully described in T h e
G o b e, and which consists in the selec-
ton of several slips of paper upon which
have been written the names of departed
persons from among a predOminatlng
number of blank slips and describing re-
spectively certain personal characteristics
of the ones whose names appear upon
the slips.
In this instance, after a committee of
twelve members of the club had been Sc
lected, the names of w. J. Footner and
John H. McAllister were written on
sheets Of paper by DR.. John Mclean,
and as each was drawn out of the hat
from among the blank sheets Mr.. Payne
described the man whose name was writ
ten on the sheet besides giving the name.
DR.. E. F. Geer was then at his own re-
quest granted permission to write name
and wrote that of James H Mayall
Again Mr.. Payne selected the slip on
which the name was written and. after
describing Mr. Mayalrs personal appear

TRAIN GOES TOO FAR.
Mrs. Mary KenaIey Brings Action
Against he Omaha Road.

Mrs. Mary Kenaley has instituted an
action against the Omaha Railway COM
pany as the result of being carried by a
station on one of the Omaha trains
According to the affidavit filed in the
office of the clerk of court, Mrs. KenaIey
boarded an Omaha passenger at the
Eagle street station. on Feb II, very
cold day. She told the conductor as
soon as she entered the train that her
destination was Nichols, Mimi, but not
withstanding this fact, the conductor
made no effort to have the train stopped.
until they were a full two miles past the
alton, where she was allowed to aIight.
Mrs. Kenalev alleges that she was COM
PEELED to walk the two miles back to
the station. where her friends were wait
Ing to receive her. and that as a result
of the carelessness of the railway COM
JanY she suffered severely from the cold,
and that her health has been seriously

arraigned in the police court yesterday on
the charge of violating the smoke ordi-

Judge Orr. recentlv held that the fireman
on an engine could not be held to blame,

ator OF The engine. This decision was
rendered in the case against Fireman
Blend, who runs on the same engine with

was sworn out against Reichert.
