BETTING is LIGHT.
Little Money Wagered on the
Frisco Battle.

San Francisco, Aug. 12-Betting con-
tinues light on the Corbett-Jeffries fight
and up to the time the pools closed last
night not more than $1,000 had been
wagered in this city The bulk of this
money went in at to 1 with Jeffriea the
favorite. 1t is believed that the Corbett
end will sell today at 10 to 4 and that a
large amount of money will be bet.
Jeffries and his retinue have left Har-
bine Springs and taken up quarters at
Oakland, where he will remain until the
day of the fight. Corbett entertained a
number of visitors at his quarters in
Ameda and gave display of his tactics
and an exhibition of his athletic course
of training. He has been examined by
a physician of the Yosemite club and
official pronounced in perfect health and
condition and fit to make the battle of
his life.
The demand for seats for the fight is
the greatest ever known here and the
hall which will hold 10000 people will
not be able to accommodate the crowd
which is anxious to witness the contest.
Both men are confident of victory and
it is certain that the fight will be live
ly one from the start if the statements
of the men themselves and their ad-
herents can be credited.

FIRE ENGINE OyERHAULED.
Will Soon Be Ready to Put Into
Service.

Chief Wilmarth has strong hopes that
the old steamer purchased in 1870 will
soon be in shape to put back in service
as a valuable reserve piece of apparatus.
The engine has been at the Santa F'e
shops since its rescue from the flood in
North Topeka. 1t has been thoroughly
overhauled, and a new coil put into the
boiler 1t now only lacks a suction"
which is the official name for the big
rubber pipe which is supposed to dip
into a reservoir of water. to make it
again about as good as new. A new
suction has been ordered. and when it
comes, the old engine will be ready for
business.
The engine will be polished up and the
running gear repainted, and it will then
show no i'll effects from the ten days
oaking which it got in the North To-
peka fire station.

ROUSING CORN CROP.
kingman and Harper County
Prospects Excellent.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 12.-The Beacon
says:
1. p. Campbell who has Just returned
home from a visit to his Harper coun-
ty ranch, is authority for the statement
that kingman and Harper counties are
in line for a rousing corn crop this year
Mr.. Campbell makes the trip to his
Harper county holdings in a wagon,
built especially for long trips of that
kind, and in driving across the country
in leisurely manner, he puts himself
in position to see and to know about
in what condition the crops of the coun-
try through which he passes are. The
trip which he has just completed, is the
fourth made this season, and he bases
his assertion that the corn crop is al
most assured. upon these observations.
He says that from Wichita to God
dard the corn is in good condition, with
the exception of a few fields which ma Y
have been injured slightly by the hot,
dry days of July. From Goddard west
to Cheney, or in that vicinity, there is
a strip in which a good many fields have
been hurt, the Wichita man estimating
that perhaps % per cent of the acreage
shows the effects of the heat though
there are many good stands to be seen
there. From the Ninnescah, that branch
of it which runs up west of Cheney,
south and west for hundred miles the
crop is in splendid condition, and a
good big yield is assured, while with
Mr.. Campbells own words, lit will be
superior"
Mr.. Campbell said that most of the
corn is now in roasting. ears. much of
it is past that stage, and it is but fair
to believe that a man who travels
across the country sstfd camps by the
wayside to- cook his meals, is in a posi-
tion to give expert testimony upon that
subject.
Harper county is wet, too wet. for
threshing' to proceed as the wheat rails
ers would have it, so that there is little
reason for expecting that an August
drought will interfere with the making
of the corn crop which Mr. Campbell
says the fields now give promise of
producing.
Wheat in the vicinity visited by Mr..
Campbell is turning out from 16 to %
bushels to the acre, and is testing up
with the other good wheat raised in
Kansas this year. Pasture. he says.
never was better. and stock is doing
well.

CAN'THAPPEN NEW YORK
Accident Like That in Paris Subway
Win Be Impossible.

New York, Aug. 12.-Persons connect
ed with the plans construction and pro-
spective operation of the rapid transit
subway, now nearing completion in this
city, declare that such a catastrophe
which has just occurred on the Paris
underground railway will be impossi-
bic here. The subway here is much
nearer the surface, ventilation is per-
feet, the tunnel is larger, exits and ven
tilation shafts more numerous, the cars
will be fire proof and the latest contriv-
ances for the safe use of electricity will
be used. Should a fire start in any
train from a short circuit, the power
in that section will be turned off auto
matically while standpipes with hose
are located at short intervals ready for
any emergency. The subway officials
have been kept busy answering nervous
questioners since the Paris accident and
they are positive no such thing will be
possible in the New York tunnel.

the mechanical department of the road IN

No one has yet been appointed to the posi-
tion which was vacated August by Geo.
r. Henderson, 1t was at first thought that
a successor to Mr.. Henderson would be
appointed Immediately after his resignation
had become effective but it now looks as
if the officials have decided to postpone
this proceeding. Third Vice President
Kendrick stated several weeks ago that
the position of superintendent of motive
power would remain vacant for a while.

Judging from this statement the officials
have not yet decided upon successor to
Mr. Henderson and are waiting until the
proper individual shows himself before
they fill the vacancy.

OVERLOOKED S45S.
Bank Cashier Took All the
Other Money AWAY With Him.

Circleville. O., Aug. 12.-John K.
Brown, cashier of the Union bank at
New Holland, Ohio, who is missing. left
a shortage of nearly $75, 900 in his ac-
counts. An expert from Canton, Ohio,
opened the safe last night in the pres
ence of the directors. and only SASS in
coin was found.
The books show deposits of S150.000
one week ago, and also show $99. 600
loaned out. Cashier Browns shortage
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The shortage so far foots up $A0,54
and an examination of the books may
show heavier losses.
The bank is an incorporated concern,
which under the Ohio laws makes each
stockholder liable for double the
amount of his shares up to the amount
of any shortage that may occur. Brown
stood high in society and business
circles at New Holland. He is treas
urer of the Masonic Temple associa-
ton. grand master of the Masonic
lodge, member of the Eastern Star,
banker of the Modern Woodmen, clerk
of the school board. member of the
county Democratic committee, and a
member of the church choir He came
from Cincinnati fifteen years ago.
The Union bank was established thir-
teen years ago, and has had a pros
porous existence. John X Brown has
been cashier since its organization. The
bank has been paying regular dividends
since its opening 1t is said Brown
has been specializing in the grain mar
ket with bucket shops at Washington.

CAUSES TAX TROUBLE.
Decimals in Levy Makes Trouble
and Loss.

The total city tax lew will be 5.13. if
the recommendation of the council
committee for a levy of 20 mills is
adopted The school levy will be 16
mills. and thS county levy 1880 mills.
Such a levy means a great amount of
work in the office of the county treas
urer. and some loss of money OIL ac-
count of the decimals remaining when
the tax is computed.
With the levy at 5.13 and taxes to be
paid on $125 valuation. for instance,
the multiplication would bring $6.4125.
The 0025, or quarter of a cent, has to
be dropped. The tax on $11,375 would
be 1888. .5375, and the .0075. or three
quarters of a cent, is dropped. In 1902
the total levy in the city was 49.S mills.
and as a result the city lost ss6-06
charged off in decimals, and Topeka
township lost $S9.O3.
County Treasurer Philips, County
Clerk Newman and Mayor Bergundthal
will hold a conference for the purpose
of determining if the levy can not be
changed to be in easier figures.

DIDN'T GET THE CLOCK.
But Mr.. Hunt Will Make Trouble fol-
Columbia Drug Company.

Assistant u. S. District Attorney E.
d. McKeever has filed information rel
ative to the shady transactions of a
concern called the Columbia Drug
an application for its exclusion from
the use of the mails by the postal au
thorities at New York city. The COM
plant and information was furnished
McKeever by 4. B. Hunt. of Washing
ton county, Kansas. The case is a
parallel one with that which McKeever
brought a few months since against a
Boston concern.
In March Hunt answered an adver-
tisement and, as agent sold eight boxes
of pills furnished by the Columbia
Drug company, with the understanding
that he was to receive as premium
an eight-day musical clock Hunt sold
the pills and sent 81 in payment for
them, taking registry receipt for his
remittance. Within a few days he re-
ceived letter from the United States
Law Collection Agency" of 157 West
Eightieth street, New York. demanding
the payment of the two dollars, which
was said never to have been received.
The letter was printed in circular form
and contained considerable legal
phraSeOlOgy and threats of prosecution
if the amount demanded was not forth
with forwarded A section of New
York law, defining larceny, was printed
with it in such connection as to make
it appear to be federal law. The whole
was drawn up with a particular view
of intimidating ignorant persons into
the payment of the money demanded
OF thers
Hunt is not an educated man, iudg-
ing from his correspondence, but he
recognized that an effort was being
made to work him, and he turned the
letter over to the district attorney
here. He requested that his premium
clock be recovered and that he be given
damages to the amount of $50 for his
trouble
