BARRELS OF GERMS
Poured Into Drainage Canal fol.
Benefit Of st. Louis.

Chicago, March 11.-Drainage board
officials today stated that they did not
fear the effect of the testimony given
by DR.. Armand Ravold before the com
missioner of the United States supreme
court at St. Louis in the injunction pro-
ceedings brought by the state Of Mis-
souri, that he placed 200 barrels Of germs
in the sanitary channel at Leuont and
traced the bacilli to st. Louis. Drainage
Trustee William H Baker said:
The action of DR.. Rav0ld was a dar-
ing experiment and came as a surprise
to US. but I do not think that it dis
proves the contention OF the board and
the state of Illinois. Attorney James
Todd of the sanitary board said:
i do not think that the testimony by
St. Louis proves anything because the
number of germs placed in the channel
is more than Chicago would ordinarily
furnish in many weeks The dralnag
board evidence proves that no danger
Gus disease germs which Chicago sends
into the channel ever reach st. Louis
That is the basis of our case and NE
can prove it without a doubt. We have
no fear regarding the outcome of the
drainage boards case

OVER FIVE MILLION.
Appropriations Made by the
Kansas Legislature.

The total appropriations made by this
legislature win amount to s5,16s. .46S- This
is a decrease of s101. .S01 under the ap.
preparations of the last legislature.
Notwithstanding this the state tax
levy will be a trihe in excess of what i
two Years it was necessary to raise only
about s4. 600 600 by direct taxation, while
during the coming two years it is figured
that about S4.500.000 viii be necessary
This difference is caused by the fact
that the Bush corporation law. the Nc
Nall insurance tax law, and some other
sources of revenue to the state raised
over million dollars during the past
two years, but it is expected that the
revenue from the corporation law viii
fall off in the future, and fees TO the
amount Of less than half a million are
figured on.
The appropriations made by this leg
islature by years are as follows: Fol-
1903. 1922, POS; for 1904, 81, ,640996; for 1908.

VIII Have to Answer in Federal Court in Martins
burg in October to Indictment Charging Him
with Sending Obscene Matter Through the
Mails Own Recounizance of $500 Taken.

Ernest B. Morris was arrested here
this afternoon by Deputy United States
Marshal Dan r. Jackson, of Kingwood,
and taken before United States Commits
sIoner Thomas s. Spates ON warrant
charging him with n violation of the
postal laws of the United States.
Morris heard the charge and entered
into his own recognizance of $500 to ap-
pear at United States court by Judge
John J. jackson at Martinsburg in oc-
tober next for trial on the indictment
found by the federal grand jury against
him some months ago.
The charge against him is the sending
of obscene matter through the mails.
The alleged offense was the mailing of
certain edition of the Harrison Coapty
Herald last summer, the paper contain
ing what the federal grand jury believ-
I ed to be vile and vulgar matter, unfit TO
be sent through the mails. Morris was
editor of the paper at the time, and the
reading matter at the time was what
purported to be evidence given before the
grand Jury by detectives IN reference TO
houses of ill-fame Mt Salem. The ap-
peafance o fthe publication made quite
sensation at the time, and many citi-
zens objected 10 It's going into their
homes.
The penalty for violation of chs
kind Is very severe, being heavy hne
or q sentence in the penitentiary, or
both.

Remarkable Feat Made IN Third Heat

race in Marion, Indiana, IN which the
purse was $1,000, she almost broke the
worlds record. The News-Tribune, pub

@Topsy gave the people Of Marion
something yesterday never before wit
messed on hnlf-mile track.
sShe went the fastest mile ever trotted
IN a third heat ON = half-mile track, and
there were very few people present who
knew it.
aShe came within two seconds of the
worlds record for any heat on half
mile circle.
sHorsemen could hardly believe their
watches when they caught her time in
the third heat of the 2:ls pace. The
time was 2:l2A, but many watches had
it even faster than this. The fact that
it was. made in the third heat, following
two hard drives, speaks volumes for the
