ROCK ISLAND REPAIRING

Topeka, kas., JunG 1.-THE Unioaa
Pacific road ran it's first train through
Topeka today since the beginning Of
the flood, May 90. The line is now open
to st. George, As miles west, and To-
cal train passed through at II o'clock
today to Kansas City from st. George
west to Junction City. The roadbed is
still impossible. The Rock Island has
it's wrecked track in running order in

RIVER SLOWLY FALLING.
St. Louis, June l3.-The river is fall
ing at the rate of about O.4 of foot in
"a hours, the gauge this morning read
ing 37.3 feet. This rate will probably
be increased by Sunday or Monday to
one foot in "a hours and it is predic-
ted by the local weather bureau that,
without floods from above or addition
al rainfall. the river will have gone
down to the danger line, 80 feet, by the
latter part of next week. There is very
little change in the situation In East
st, Louis except that the falling river
has filed the hearts of the flood suffer-
ers with the hope of speedy relief from
discomfort and peril and will soon en-
able them to return to their pursuits
and manner of living.

JUDGE MULLINS
DECISION REVERSED
Court Of Appeals Says the County
Clerk of Denver County Should
Canvass the Vote Cast at
the Recent Elec-
tion.
MEMBERS OF COMMISSION ALREADY
At work WITHOUT CERTIFICATES

Denver, Colo, June 13.-The court OF
appeals today reversed the decision OF
Judge Mullins Of the district court tC
the effect that the city soracil had au-
thority to canvass the vote cast at the
recent election of charter convention
delegates and decided the count must
be made by County Clerk Aichele. The
non- partisan candidates who received
majority of the votes have already
organized and are proceeding with the
work of drafting a charter although
they have not yet received certificates
of election, the canvass having been
delayed by the injunction against the
county clerk, granted by Judge Mullins.
The court decided further that the
city council ceased to exist with the
adoption of the Rush amendment. that
it is simply a board of county commits
sioners with no power to pass any or
dinances beyond one calling for the
election for members of the charter
convention and that ali other ordi-
nances are invalid.

PATHETIC SCENE.
M>ody Merrill Was Confronted by Old
Friends When Bond Was Fixed.

A dispatch from Boston says: Moody
Merrill, alias Grayson, the New Mexico
banker, who was surrendered by the
New York authorities at the request Of
the officials of Massachusetts, succeed
ed in securing bail. Isaac r. Rich, pro-
prietor of the Hollis Street Theater,
and Marcellus Coggan put up the $1O,-
900 bail which was necessary to insure
his freedom until called for trial.
The scene when he was arraigned
was dramatic. The judge sitting was
an old legal associate of Merrill. Judge
Bishop and Moody Merrill were also
in the Massachusetts senate at the
same time. The sheriff who guarded
Merrill in the dock was a companion
with whom the prisoner had served In
the house of representatives on Beacon
HILL Merrill was in the hands of his
friends in a weird sense. District Attor-
ney Stevens, also an old friend, re-
mained in his office, leaving it to his
assistants to argue the matter of bail.
Assistant District Attorney Nc
Laughlin was brief in his remarks to
the court, simply asking that the bail
be fixed at $4,000, and informing Judge
Bishop that the sum alleged in the In
dictment to have been embeZzled
amounted to $4,000.
Mr.. Tower next addressed the court
and asked that the bail be fixed at
$1,000. He emphasized the fact that
Mr.. Merrill was in Boston principally
of his own volition, as his counsel in
New York had pleaded with him to
appeal to the supreme court of that
city and further contest the matter of
extradition. However, Mr.. Merrill had
refused to make q further contest. In
conclusion, Mr.. Tower pleaded with the
Judge to place the bail at 5000.
Judge Bishop afterward asked Dis
trict Attorney Mclaughlin If he still
insisted on the bail being $4,000, and
when the latter replied in the affirma>
tive, the judge considered the matter
briefly and then instructed Clerk Man.
ming to record the bail at that figure.
Mr.. Manning told Mr.. Merrill that the
bail had been placed at $4,000 and
ordered him to have sureties In that
amount for his appearance before the
superior court from time to time until
the case Is disposed of.

thousands of years ago a mineral
having the strange power Of attracting
Iron was found in the country ancient
ly called Magnesla, in Asia Minor. The
name of this country has given us the
word magnet This mineral, which
Is now called the lodestone mot load
stone), attracted the attention of the
curious, and 1t was discovered that a
piece of iron which had been rubbed
with the lodestone acquired the same
power of attracting iron. In other
words, the piece of iron became q mag
net. 1t was afterward found that such
an iron or artificial magnet could be
used like the lodestone itself to convert
other pieces or iron into magnets by
rubbing. Still more recently a mode
Of making magnets by means of cleo
tricity was discovered-that is, by
wrapping piece of insulated wire
many times around the bar and then
causing current of electricity to pass
through the wire The familiar small
toy magnets are simply steel bars
which have been rubbed a few times
against powerful magnets.-St. Mich

Success of the Solemn Ass.

Look about you, gentle reader. and
consider the solemn ass in every walk
Of life Who SO respected so admired,
so influential? He never takes sides.
He never is a partisan. He goes along
with knitted brows, his thoughts too
deep for utterance. Smaller men may
abandon themselves to hasty incllna-
tons, to rash preferences, to robust
views. He never does. If he speaks
at all it is with such profundity and
,ircumlocution and complexity that
the most reconcile cryptogram ever
rescued from pyramid would seem to
burst of innocent and childish candor
in comparison. Yet he wears fine raj
ment every day. He enjoys the re-
spect and confidence of the community.
He prospers. The oil of opulence
anoints him. He is the incarnation of
success!- Washington Post.

DR. Peter Oliver, who lived in Eng
land during the early part of the eight
zenith century, tells of seeing carved
cherry stone which would be wonder
even in this age of fine tools and fine
workmanship
The stone was one from a common
cherry, and upon it were carved the
heads of 124 popes, kings, queens, en-
perors, saints, etc. Small as they must
necessarily have been, 1t is announced
on the authority Of Professor Oliver
that with II good glass the heads of
the popes and kings could readily be
distinguished from those of the queens
and saints by their miters and crowns.
The gentleman who brought this little
wonder to England purchased 1t in
Prussia allowing the original owner
$4,000 for his treasure. Think of it
500, 900 for a cherry seedl
