NEWBERRY Is ARRESTED.
Didn't Support His Wife and May BE
Sorry.

Deputy Sheriff Carl Lawson made the
arrest of Ernest L. Newberry, charged
with a statutory offense. at Kansas City
yesterday, on a complaint sworn out
by Newberry's father-in-law. Samuel
McFaren, of Topeka Newberry waived
examination in the court of ToDeka
this morning and was released upon
81 900 bond. This is the second time
Newberry has been arrested on the
charge. and the third time a warrant
has been sworn out against him by the
injured party. The offense is alleged to
have been committed in February, 1902.
Newberry was arrested on a statutory
charge soon afterward, but obtained
dismissal of the proceedings by marry
ing Katie McFaren. the girl He de-
serted her Immediately afterward and
went to Kansas City to work. His wife
commenced proceedings against him to
compel him to furnish support for her
and their child. but for some reason
the action was dropped. Newberry's'
arrest is for the original offense.
Newberry will test the prosecution
on the question of whether his marriage
to Katie McFaren removes his liability
on the statutory charge. This point,

the warrant. claims is not bar to the
prosecution. Tt is the defendants in
tention to fight the case on this point
and to take the case to the supreme
court for a decision.

IRON ON FIRMER BASIS.
Result of Heavy Buying of Pig in the
West

Cleveland, o., Aug. 13.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says:
Heavy buying of pig iron in the west
has established that market on a much
frmer basis. and the lead of the big
malleable and implement interests in
covering requirements for the remain
der of the year will be followed by buy
ing on the part of smaller interests.
Chicago reported sales of about $50 600
tons of iron in the past ten days, the
leading malleable interests buying 50,-
900 tons of malleable Bessemer at 81. so,
while the leading harvester interests
have purchased close on to $4,000 tons
of foundry iron, northern furnaces Sc
curing over $4,000 tons at $17, while
more than 10000 tons were placed with
nOn-aSsociation southern furnaces on
the basis of S12, Birmingham. Numer-
GUS other purchases of both malleable
and foundry in lots ranging from 5000
to 5000 tons were made. This heavy
buying of southern foundry iron has
a $12 basis.
The buying of iron in the Pittsburg
district has also been much heavier
than for some time, the sales of the
week aggregating $4,000 tons, at prices
somewhat lower than had been prevail
ing. Sales of 1000 tons of forge have
been made at $16, Pittsburg, and one
lot of 5000 of Virginia basic, for de-
livery the remainder of the year, was
placed at $1725, netting the furnace
only S14.2o.
The United States Steel corporation
has deferred the buying of bessemer for
the fourth quarter, no quotations on iron
for this delivery having been received
by the pig iron committee. Whether the
corporations requirements from the val
ley furnaces will be as heavy during the
last quarter as during similar preceding
periods this year, is doubtful, as one
new stack at Clarion. in which it owns
half interest, will be blown during Sep
TENDER and in October two stacks at
Sharon and two at DOnOra becomes
available. The pig iron production in
the Pittsburg and valley districts Will
be greatly curtailed during the present
month as eleven stacks are out for re-
lining and repairs. four being steel cor
poration furna ces. Two additional
stacks are to go out shortly, one at
Youngstown and the other al Sharps-
vile. A new stack at Dubois, Pa. was
added to the list of active furnaces this
week, while the Cleveland furnace will
be making iron in few days. The de-
mand for steel in the form of billets,
ton and sheet iron bars is not heavy,
and the mills that are parties to the
billet association are selling not much
over half of their surplus production.
Steel production is, however, being cur
tailed by the idleness of two open hearth
plants at Sharon, and bessemer plants,
one at Youngstown and the other at
Wheeling.
There have been no developments in
the week to encourage the market in
finished lines.

Waste in the Kitchen.

The people of every American city are
extravagant. They buy too much food
and waste enough to support all the
poor of the community. In the past half
century the great body of our people
have had no strong inducement to
learn and practice close economy, es-
pecially such as is characteristic of the
immigrants from Germany. To save on
food, even to a large amount, would not
be. necessarily. to fall below a plane of
generous living. Wherever the kitchen
is ruled chiefly by hired servants waste
is to be expected 1t would be unrea-
sonable to suppose that servants who
are not tied to family by affection
and long service, but who work simply
for wages, will take pains to prevent
waste. Perhaps it is not easy for
mistress with positive ideas about econ
ony in the kitchen to keep the average
servant. The woman who has many
exacting social or other duties can hard
ly give to her household the attention
required for economical living. A dense
population promotes domestic economy.
Where people are crowded together
there are means of making the most of
foods. Thus in the compact and there
fore the poorer sections of a great city
hucksters save parts of vegetables
which would be wholly rejected as un-

TOM M'NEAL'S HAIR.
He and Henry Allen Make an Agree
ment About It.

If you should happen to see Tom Nc
Neal going about the streets before long
with a head of hair resembling that of
the Circassian beauty in the side show,
you may know that it is another
triumph for electricity. You may also
know that that head of hair cost Mr..
McNeaPs bosom friend, Henry Allen,
some of his salary as president OF the
State Board of Charities.
A few days ago a Topeka physician
who operates a fine electrical apparatus
in his office was surprised to see lMessrs.
McNeal and Allen hating outside his
office door,
After you" said Alphonse McNeal,
motioning his friend inside.
After you,' replied Castor Allen,
with as much of bow as his Astounding
waistband would permit
Finally both went in as nearly to-
gether as the doorway would permit,
while the doctor eyed with curiosity
this very healthy appearing pair of pa
tents. They disclosed great interest in
the physicians electrical apparatus, and
if applied electricity would raise hair
on their domes of thought.
Mr.. McNeal claimed that Allen really
wanted to turn the X-ray on his con-
gressional boom, and Mr.. Allen alleged
that it was required in order to disclose
the jokes in McNeals book of fables,
but gradually both conceded that they
were not there for their health but for
their hair. AS is well known, Mr.. Nc
Meals noble brow has receded well
towards his rear collar button, while the
clearing on the summit of Mr.. Aliens
dome has caught the expansion fever
advocated by its owner They claimed
they are both good at electrifying audi
ences and they thought the X-ray ma
chine ought to electrify heads and raise
hair.
The doctor refused to guarantee a GU
cumber crop on a pair of FURNISHED sad
die bags or a growth of hair where for
years the hair crop has failed. but he
was willing to do his best and turn his
machine loose, provided the compensa-
ton would be forthcoming or satisfac-
torily guaranteed.
Each patient looked at the other ex-
pectantly.
After you" said CASTOR Allen.
After you, my dear CASTOR" replied
the Alphonse of the Mail and Breeze.
But really, Tom" said Mr. Allen.
you are running a big city paper and
ere only a candidate for the legislature
while I have the Parsons asylum, my
friend Bowersock, and congressional
boom all to watch
That's all right Henry" replied Mr..
McNeal. but a fellow who is around
buying up newspaper plant for break
fast every morning can afford to square
this thing with the doctor for both of
us"

TO PASS HANNA'S BILL.
Smooth Negro Secures $4,000
From His Brethren.

Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 1S-Thousands of
dollars have been secured from the
blacks of this section of Georgia and
also of Florida by a northern negro
named Mitchell. who claimed that he
had been employed by Senator Mark
Hanna to collect money to be used in
passing the Ohio senator's bill to PEN
sion the ex-slaVes of the south.
The negroes, tempted by the pros
poets of a pension, gave readily to
Mitchell, some often turning over the
savings of years. Last week Mitchell
left, saying he was going to see Hanna.
One negro, F. B. Wilson, who had
given $50, grew suspicious and wrote
Senator Hanna. Wilson has received
letter from the senator denouncing
Mitchell as a fraud and warned the
negroes not to trust him. 1t is estimat-
ed that Mitchell secured $4,000 during
his campaign of duDlicity

MUST'F THEM.
Mayor Bergundthal Serves
Notices on City Railway.
Big Fire Cisterns' Arches to Be
Strengthened.
SOURCE OF MYSTERY.
Topeka Authorities Know Little
About These Reservoirs.
One Is Emptied Today to Ex-
anime the Walls.

Mayor Bergundthal has served notice
on the city railway that if the relaying
of its tracks on Kansas avenue causes
the repair or rebuilding of the. big fire
cisterns at Fifth, Sixth, Eighth or Tenth
avenues, the company will have to
stand the expense.
The company, on the other hand,
wants the city to fix the cisterns so that
it will be safe to run the big cars over
them, or if that can't be done. to fill
them up, which should not be done for
they may be needed some day.
These immense cisterns, some of them
20 feet deep, and holding 1900 barrels
of water, may constitute a serious
menace to the safety of Kansas avenue,
now that traffic is becoming heavier,
and the street railway is putting on
such heavy equipment. Tuesday after
noon, while excavating for the track,
the walls of the cisterns at Fifth street
and Sixth avenue were encountered, and
several large holes caved in. The arch
walls of the cisterns seemed to be weak
in spots. The company was able, by
using thinner ties, to build across the
top of the Fifth street cistern, but some
other arrangement will probably be
necessary at Sixth, Eighth and Tenth
avenues. 1t may be necessary to take
off the stone arch top of the ciSternS,
and build new tops, lower down in the
ground. This will involve a large ex-
pense, and it is this expense which
Mayor Bergundthal says the company
must stand.
Mr.. Myers and City Engineer McCabe
had a conference about the matter this
morning, and it was agreed that the
cistern at Sixth avenue could be passed
safely by laying heavy steel girders
across to support the weight of the rails.
The whole track will then be embedded
in concrete-what the railroad men call
trench work.
All the water was pumped out of the
cistern at Sixth and Kansas avenues
Wednesday night. Chief Wilmarth set
a force of his firemen to work with the
old steamer. and they worked nearly all
night pumping. This morning there is
only about five inches of water and SIX
inches of mud in the bottom of the els
tern. The cistern was emptied because
the city authorities desired to make a
careful investigation of the condition
of the walls and determine the advisa-
bflity of having a new spring arch
built to lower the top of the cistern.
There is a good deal of mystery about
these old fire cisterns. They were
built about 1870, and no drawings or
data were preserved to show awning
about their construction About the
only thing known is that they are oval
in shape and that the walls are very
thick. some of them being. according
to what records have been found; about
Is feet inches thick OF others the
walls are about 215 feet thick.
There are altogether eight of these
cisterns in town, and their location and
