 Wall street is alive with alehemists who can transmute miraculously. They will take security worth S25 a share. raise it to s2OO, and make the people call- ed public fight to buy it. The process is called creation. And on the other hand. they will quickly change a stock worth $100 a share into one worth BIO. so that nobody will buy 1t. This pro- cess Is called annihilation.

A JUDGE ON SATURDAY.
Governor Bailey Will Then
Make appointment.

A justice of the supreme court to fill
the vacancy caused by Judge Pollock's
promotion to the federal bench, will be
appointed by Governor Bailey Saturday.
The governor made this positive an
nouncement today.
Il cannot appoint judge today, ne
said but I will make the appointment
on Saturday. There are still some mat
tiers which 1 must try to iron out"
Judge G.. H. Buchanan of Winfield is
here today, accompanied by w. P.
Hackney, to see Governor Bailey about
the judgeship. He is candidate for
the appointment himself, but it has not
been supposed that he got into the race
soon enough to get a good start.
II came up" Judge Buchanan said
this afternoon, ito tell the governor a
good way to get around the difficulty
he is in in regard to this appointment
There Is still as much doubt as
ever as to whom Governor Bailey will
give the appointment. He refuses to
give any idea who the new judge will
be, and it is possible he has not yet
definitely determined the matter. Clyde
Reed of Parsons, one of the Atkinson
boomers, came to Topeka Wednesday
to see Governor Bailey in behalf of his
candidate. and he expressed the opin-
ion that there is no doubt but Atkin-
son will be appointed. At the same
time the friends of the other candi-
dates are inclined to think Mr.. Reeo
is mistaken.

northeast, half east, of Frying Pan

that Second Mate c. o. Brooks drop
ned the lead into twenty fathoms of
water. He stood upon the deck of the
good ship Berkshire, ploughing its way
to Philadelphia for Savannah, in the
interests of the Merchants and Min
ers' Transportation company.
A bitter wind blew and the sea froze
as it struck the taffrail
Mate Brooks drew in the lead linen
he touched it and dropped it,
"Hoti" he cried. Hot! I'm burned :.
Crew and officers crowded around
him. Capt J. 6. Hudgins called for the
ships surgeon and approached
But the lead was hot. Too hot to be
touched even after journeying through
fathoms of water and a passage
through freezing air.
1t was hot every time they drew II
up until ten miles had been sailed.
After that it wasn't.
Can't. Hudgins reported the phenom-
enon to the Maritime Exchange When
he reached port yesterday.
Experts say it shows seismic dis
turbances; and point to the great Car

q dozen steps while men, wholly I'M
strung. staggered as they walked down
the aisles and soon had to be assisted
from the place by the police.
The blankets were all removed ana
the bodies were huddled in long lines
on the floors. Thirty deep they lay In
burrows their ghastliness brought out
by the glare of the electric lights Here
lay a grey-haired man, his features
recognizable and the smoky pallOr or
his face showing a death from smoke
Euffocation. Nearby was the body OF
child in FaIntleyroy cotume, his Solden
curls In vivid contrast to the scarlet
color of his face, from which every
particle of the skin had been torn. HIS
cheeks bore plainly the mark of boot
heels, his chest was crushed. and 1t
was too evident that his life had gone
out under the heels of the frenzled
throng around the dOorways. There
were dozens of bodies of young women
and girls from IS to 20 years of age.
Many of them were elegantly dressed,
and their clothing or some trlnket
found was the only guide to those who
knew them, for their faces have been
literally tranpled into an unrecogniz-
able mass
Some of the bodies were stripped en-
tirely Of clothing and with distorted
limbs and mangled and charred features
were seen in all their horror. In one
respect they were alike. The left arm
ofnearIy everyvictim was held stiff anc
close to the side. while the right hand
was outstretched as if warding of
peril
At Jordan's on Madison street the
dead numbered 139. They were stretch
ed upon the carpets of the little chape
and on the bare floors of the morgut
below. The scenes here varied only il
minor details of ghastliness from those
seen under the electric lights at Rol
ston's
At Sheldon's. on West Madison street
Il dead were taken.
At Carroirs, wells street, At; al
Gavin's, North Clark street,49; at Buff
um's, on Wabash avenue, 81, and al
Perrigo's on State street, 20 Othel
morgues scattered throughout the city
received small numbers.
At the county morgue 10 bodies were
received. OF these three men and tw'
little girls were identified.

MIR. COLEMAN TO LEAVE.
Manager of Harvey Eating House
Resigns.

1t was announced today that Mr.. W.
C. Coleman, manager of the Harvey
eating house at the Santa Fe depot in
would leave shortly for New York,
where he will locate temporarily with
his wife and daughter.
Mr. Coleman is one of the most popu-
lar managers that the Harvey people
have had. He has been in the employ
of the company for about three years.
He has been manager at this point only
for few months but even in that time
he and his family have made many
friends here, all of whom are sorry to
see them leave.
Nothing definite has yet been learned
in regard to the appointment of a sue
cessor to Mr.. Coleman but it is under
stood that Mr. Roy Starkweather, man
ager of the Arkansas City eating house
will be given the place.
