TAKES The BIG COW.
H. A. Hodgins Attaches Her on
Old Account.

Marshal Josiah Ross, Of the city court
this morning attached Lady Acme" at
the fair grounds. 1t is a strong attach
ment but no love affair. It was legal
proceeding and the lady is the big
fat COW which weighs 3,249 pounds.
The Acme Stock Food company OF
Chicago give the people the impression
that the COW gained this wonderful
weight by eating that food. 1t is the
same system of advertising that is used
for baby foods. It may be quite true.
But the trouble was not with the diet
of the animal but the fact that H. A.
Hodgins and the Acme food company
had little set to in court not many
years ago. The food people sued Hod-
gins and lost and Hodgins brought suit
for damages for $299. This morning he
secured the attachment papers to cover
his claim for damages. Scott Kelsey
and Bradford Miller went along to APP
praise the cow and decided that Lady
Acme" was worth 5000.
When Ross presented himself in the
tent and demanded the cow the proprie-
tors were not disposed to hand 3,249
pounds of COW over to him. One of
them very abruptly said. "Get out Of
the tent Ross lowed as to how he
wouldn't" s"Then I'll throw you out"
said the man and he advanced toward
Ross. The marsha1s hand went back
to his pistol pocket, which held big
red bandanna handkerchief. The man
who was advancing saw the move and
fell back in hurry. Ross legally got
the COW and left man In the tent to
watch it. The show Is now in statu
quo.

PATHETIC INCIDENT.
Story of Students at Blind Asylum on
WAY to Institution.


The state school for the blind at Kan
sas City, Kas., and the school for the
deaf and dumb at Olathe will open short
ly, and the east-bound trains that are
passing through Topeka now carry stu
over the state.
Wednesday afternoon there were nine
mutes on the Union Pacific east-bound
passenger. They were of both sexes, and
ranged from a boy of six years up to
girl of eighteen. They came from the
northwest and central parts of the state
and seemed to be well acquainted with
one another. Notwithstanding their mis-
fortune they were among the gayest
persons on the train, and their hands
flew necessarily as they talked with one
another.
There were also a number of blind
students on the train going to Kansas
City, but they were not as gay as the
mutes, although they were generally
cheerful.
When the train reached Topeka lit
tie blind girl of six years was waiting
to join those going to the school for
the blind. 1t was apparently her first
trip away, and she was almost heart
broken at the thought of leaving her
mother. The mother was with her. but
was apparently too poor to accompany
the little one to Kansas City, and the
ing her destination was tied around
her neck and she was placed in charge
of the conductor. Going away among
strangers in her blindness was almost
more than the little one could bear and
the mother. too, was deeply affected.
The sight touched the sympathies of the
crowd which saw them.

POMPEIIAN SPECTACLE.
A Page From History Pictured in
Lines of Fire.

A colossal, thrilling and enchanting
exhibition is Pains pyrotechnic ana
spectacular production of the Last
Days of Pompeii,'' which will be seen in
Topeka the week commencing Monday,
September Is. There is nothing like
these midsummer night carnivals In
the world of open air amusements, and
the enormous expense of the spectacle
has heretofore confined their presenta-
ton to only the large cities. The Last
Days of Pompeii" as presented by the
famous pyrotechnist Pain, is much more
than mere amusement venture, and is
tragic. historical episodes of ancient
times, pictured in lines of fire and tones
of thunder.
The spectator sees before him in the
great amphitheater a mimic city covering
several acres of ground, with real mas.
sive palaces, arches temples and other
characteristic specimens of Roman arch
itecture in the foreground. and grim old
Mt. VeSuv1uS towering high above the
ill fated city. of Pompeii in the rear.
He will see several hundred correctly
and gorgeouSly costumed performers on
the picturesque streets of this painted
city, imposing pageants, Roman sports,
exciting hippodrome races, pretty bal
let's, and numerous interesting dramatic
incidents told in pantomime- In the
midst of these feteday festivities, he
will hear the awful rumbhng of the
earthquake and series of tremendous
explosions, tnaC make Tue very eartn
beneath him tremble.
From the apex of the gigantic noun
tain in the background. huge clouds of
smoke burst FORTH followed by a
cataclySm of real fire and lava; the
monster temples and palaces fall with
a crash while the hundreds of human
beings flee to safety from the scene of
carnage and destruction. In this start
ling scene all the skill and ingenuity OF
the pyrotechnist electrician and stage
manager is brought into play, and so
thrilllngly realistic is the effect that the
onlopker will find it hard to realize that
he has been gazing only upon a start
ling scene of mimic destruction instead
of an awful reality. The smoke has
thoroughly cleared above the fallen city
when the second big event" of the
evening begins, a $1,000 nightly display
of Pains famous and beautiful Man
haitian Beach fireworks. In this mar
velous pyrotechnic programme is shown
all of the latest novelties in fireworks.
for which the famous Pain Is celebrated
on two continents.

GLOBE SIGHTS.

[From the Atchison Globe.1
When you have oversight ever notice
that the clock gets look of contempt

1t is said of a very successful Atchi-
son man that he has never yet found
time to try to do any body up.
If you pick" at y man because he is
industrious, it is a sign that you have
been accused of too much loafing.

Every day or two you meet a man

interest in little things. An Atchison

pantry where it would sour. Wherever
she went, she saw that pan of sour milk
before her.

Al LEGISLATURES.
Same Bill to Be offered in All of Them
Next Winter.

New York, Sept 11.-Following the
adoption of resolutions by the taxation
department of the National Civic Fed
Grafton favoring the principal of inter-
state comfy as applicable to state and
local taxation, which provides that the
same property shall not be taxed at the
same time in two states. and suggesting
various other remedies for the existing
systems, the executive committee of the
department has decided upon prelimi-
nary steps with a view to bringing the
matters before the state legislatures.
There will be II legislatures in session
this winter in the various states and
territories, and it iS expected that a
bill will be submitted at all of them
for uniform law dealing with the SUBJ
jects stated. In this work the fedora
ton will have the assistance of two
committees recently appointed at Sara
toga, one by the American Bar associa-
ton and the other at the meeting OF
the state boards of commerce Of uni

lied at twelve millions of dollars and
listed on the New York Stock Exchange,
and five thousand people are busily en-
gagged attending to it.
Starting in this little town in Massa-

VALUATION is INFLATED.
Plea of the Attorney for the Steel
Colossus Stockholders.

Newark, N. T. Sept. 11.-Frank Ber-
gen of counsel for ]. Aspinwan Hodge
and other stockholders of the U. S. Steel
corpora ton, who are seeking by in
junction to restrain the retirement of
5000 000, 900 of the company's preferred
stock and the issue of $250,000,000 bonds,
resumed his argument in favor OF an
injunction before ViceChancellor Emery
today Mr. Bergen declared that the
valuation of the steel corporations pro-
pertieS was excessive and that not a
single affidavit had been produced to
show in detail that the valuation was
not inflated. He claimed that the afti-
davit of James H. Lancaster as to de-
tail had not been contradicted, although
an affidavit in answer had been filed
by George w. Perkins of ]. p. Morgan
& Co.
Richard " Lindabury followed for
the defendant corporation. In beginning
his argument he said that the defend-
ants would not rake up the fundamep-
tai question as to the power OF the L.
S. Steel corporation to retire the pre-
ferred stock in the manner proposed.
The appeal in the Berger case. now un-
der advisement in the court of errors
and appeals covered the points arising
under that inquiry. It was to be assum-
ed that the court, if it should decide
the present action before decision is
reached by the appellate court would
follow the previous decision in the Ber-
ger case.
The only question to which the de-
PENDANTS would address themselves on
the argument Of the merits would be
as to the validity of the syndicate con-
tract with J. p Morgan & Co That
contract Mr.. Lfndabury said was una
valuable by stockholders.
The compliments, he declared, seemed
to rely upon the personal interest of
the directors as ground fo- the
avoidance of contract, irrespective of
the intrinsic fairness of the transa ction
and despite the fact that the stockhold-
ers, with full knowledge of all the de-
tails of the plan including the interest
of directions. approved it by more than
two-thirds vote of all the capital
stock in strict accordance with article
2, section 9. of the bylaws. which was
submitted to them.
