THROUGH WITH SPECIALS.
They Are Ordered to Turn in Their
Stars.

Chief of Police Gon TODAY issued in
structions for all the special police who
were sworn in to act during the flood
excitement in North Topeka to re-
port at the police station and turn over
their stars Chief Goff may later de-
eide to retain a few special police. but
probably most of those sworn in will be
dismissed from service now that there
is no need for their services.
One reason why this action was taken
is on account of the fact that many
persons who have not been duly sworn
In as special officers and authorized to
act as such have been taking advan-
tage of the situation to wear a tin star
and pretend to act IS officers.
Those who are found wearing stars
and acting as officers without having
the necessary authority need not be
surprised to have their stars taken
away from them by the regular police
officers

CAUGHT A ROOSTER.
Dry Land Fisherman Who Hooked a
Fine Fowl

The fishermen who are making their
headquarters. about Bostwiek's have
commenced a discussion that Will last
all summer, and may even go over INTO
the ODen season of next year. One Of
the number came IN yesterday with the
claim that he had caught a brook
trout that was p inches long and
weighed four and One-half pounds His
statement was immediately challenged
on two reasons then made and eX
planned. The first was that brook trout
did not grow to the size and weight
named and the second was that
surely weigh not less than seven
pounds. Every fisherman who appeared
at the store during the day was asked
for his opinion. The majority held to
the first statement that brook trout
do not grow to the size given. The sug-
gestion that the ash was probably a
German trout met with an indignant
denial One man got into all kinds Of
probably a carp.
Jack Culliton. Of the Hot Air club,
reported having caught a rooster on
his line. When he went in to dinner at
the eating house near Dome Rock he
laid his pole up against the house. On
coming out he found the pole gone with
trail in the dirt leading toward the
public road. In the middle of the road
was rooster, backing with all the
force he could put in the action He
had tried to steal the worm off Culli-
tons hook. getting his bill tangled in
the hook itself. After running as far
as the line would allow him the rooster
had turned about face and tried to
back out of the country. The pole
slipped along the ground for several
yards and then caught in some rubbish
So that, when discovered, the unfor-
tunate fowl was unable to do anything
but drag and pun at the anchored line
Mr. Culllton also brought in a couple
of suckers. As the latter fish does not
rise to flies or take bait. and only can
be caught with a red rag, the club ac-
eused Culliton Of fishing with his un-

Decision in Case of Trigg Ship Build
ing Company.

Richmond, Va. June 2O.-In the mat
ter Of creditors asking that the Will
lam r. Trigg Ship Building company be
adjudged bankrupt Judge WaddIl
rendered a decision today that the ap-
polntment of a receiver by the chancery
court of the city of Richmond. Decem-
ber p, 1902, which was the act of bank
ruptcy complained of in the petition
could not be taken advantage of under
the amendment of February 5, 1903.
Judge Waddill holds that the amend
ment of February 5. l903,sis not retroac-
tive and could not extend to the ap-
pointment of a receiver prior to Feb
ruary :, 1903, as was the case in the
appointment Of a receiver for the Trigg
company. 1t is thought that probably
that this decision may further compli-

WITCHCRAFT TO SCIENCE.
Progress of the World in Two Hun
dred Years.


A century ago the work Of the mod
efn surgeon would have been denounced
by the theOlOgians, who then ruled man
kind, as audacious intrusions into the
exclusive jurisdiction of God Two cen
turtles ago, or at the furthest three the
man of science who would take out the
viscera of a man. cut out their disease,
and put them back would have been
fortunate to escape the stake or the
block. But the audacious invader of
the secrets of the body, the benefcent
healer who, with his phial or his knife,
lessons the miseries of humanity, dimin-
lshes or destroys pain, prOlongs life and
smooths its pathway to the grave-this
is now the man who appeals most
strongly to his fellow beings. For him
and his training the captains of indus
try are pouring out their millions, build
ing him colleges and laboratories, en-
dowing professorships, While the world
a large halls him as the man of power
and influence al time when wealth is
accumulating and when men are not
decaying. More and more, very likely,
We shall see the strong men of the col
lege classes choosing medicine, although
the time has not yet come for dOmina-
tion over the lawyer who is now en-
gagged in settling the direction and the
form in which the captains of industry
shall carry on their development of the
worlds wealth The time seems to be
coming, however, when the indefinite
prolongation of human life and the de-
struction of the enemies of human
health-work which almost suggcsJs
the creative power-will be the task
that Will call for and will receive the
service of the best training of our col
Ieges and uniVersities-tha is when the
appeal of medicine and surgery will be
addressed inevitably to the best in ev-
cry college class, just as once the call
came from the ministry, and then from
the bench and bar and senate house. =

Body Of Man Found Floating in
Kansas City.

A body of a large man. wearing high
