@1HREE weeks later the steam
barge Pole Star sailed down
the reach of Saginaw bay.
Thorpe had received letters
from Carpenter advising him of a
credit to him at Marquette bank and
inclosing a draft sufficient for current
expenses. Tim Shearer had helped
make out the list of necessaries. In
time everything was loaded, the gang
plank hauled in, and the little band of
argonauts set their faces toward the
point where the Big Dipper swings.
The weather was beautiful. Each
morning the sun rose out of the frosty
blue lake water and set in sea of
deep purple. The moon, once again at
the full, drew broad paths across the
painless waste. From the southeast
blew daily the lake trades, to die at
sunset and then to return in the soft
still nights from the west.
The ten horses in the hold munched
their hay and oats as peaceably as
though at home in their own stables.
Jackson Hines had helped select them
from the stock of firms changing local
ity or going out of business. His judg-
ment in such matters was infallible,
but he had resolutely refused to take
the position of barn boss which Thorpe
offered him.

boss of his own. This man was i'm

and as many handy with ak or saw.

For the first time the numbering mans
face lost during a single instant, its
mask of immobility. His steel blue
eyes flashed; his mouth twitched with
some strong emotion. For the first
time, too, he spoke without contempla-
tive pause of preparation.
That's the way to talk!' he cried
eco with you? Well, should rise to
remark! You're the boss, and always
said it. I'll get you gang of bully
boys that will roll logs till there's skat-
ing in Tophet."
Thorpe left, after making an APP
pointment at his own hotel for the fol-
lowing day, more than pleased with
his luck. None the less, he anticipated
his next step with shaky confidence.
He would now be called upon to buy
four or five teams of horses and enough
feed to last them the entire winter, and

visions in abundance and variety for
his men; he would have to figure on
blankets, harness, cook camp utensils,
stoves, blacksmith's tools, iron, axes,
chains, cant hooks, van goods, pals,
lamps, oil, matches, all sorts of hard
ware-in short, all the thousand and
one things, from needles to court plas-
ter, of which a self sufficing commu-
nifty might come in need. And he
would have to figure out his require
ments for the entire winter. After
navigation closed he could import moth
ing more.
Deep in these thoughts he wandered
on at random. He suddenly came to
himself in the toughest quarter of Bay
City.
Through the summer night thrilled
the sound Of cachinnations pointed to
the colors of mirth. A cheap piano
ratified and thumped through an open
window Mems and women's voices
mingled in rising and falling gradua-
tons Of harshness. Lights streamed
irregularly across the dark.

KNEW He WAS CRAZY.
An Eminent Physician Gives Up Luz
crative Practice and Retires.

New York, April 19.-Dr. Lorenzo
Kohnstamm. a traveller. philosopher
and physician of more than local rep
utation, is dead here in a hospital for
the insane. -Four years ago he sud
denly retired from a practice yielding
thousands of dollars yearly. He was
a member of the medical societies of
Paris, Vienna. Brussels and Berlin
and his strange action attracted con-
sidera Bile attention Removing his
family to another part of the city, the
doctor practically disappeared from
the society of even his most intimate
friends. Two years later he called at
Bellevue hospital where he desired to
become a patient. Then he explained
his retirement. In 1900, he said, he
had noticed symptoms of paresis in
himself. Without informing anyone
he began a careful study of his own
case. which having confirmed his own
suspicious, led him to TelinQuish his
practice, with hope that quiet living,
exercise and freedom from all mental
effort might at least retard the all
ment. His heroic struggle was in vain
and he decided to prepare for death,
having settled all his affairs with that
idea in view. The physician was

GRAND JURY GOES HOME
Indictments Are Returned Against
ThirIy-seven People.

The federal grand jury Monday
afternoon at O'Clock completed its
session for the April term of court
and reported thirty-seven indictments
to United States Judge Pollock. This
number is twice as large as any grand
jury finding within the history of this
judicial district
AS expected, the Kansas City liquor
dealers were gone after From among
their number, u were singled out and
within the next few days the United
States marshals Will have them in
custody. Their offense has been ex-
plotted sufficiently through the news
papers, namely the attempt to sell
liquor at various points in Kansas
without paying the regular govern
ment tax. They would send packages
of whisky to people in the state
ten the stuff was sent without an or
der from the person to whom it was
addressed. If he chose to refuse 1t,
the agent of the liquor dealer left the
bundle in the express office and took
out a package at a time and sold it to
his customers in the city. No rev
enue was paid in this way and the
government has lost a great deal of
money within the past year on this
account.
Some time ago United State Attor-
neY Dean made up his mind to catch
the offenders. He subpoenaed a great
points in the state and had them tes-
tify last week before the grand jury.
There must have been at least 100
of them here. The fact that twelve
indictments were made UP from the
testimony of these express company
employees shows the traffic was gem
eral all over the state and conducted
by few dealers whose headquarters
are in Kansas City.
Some time ago Mr.. Dean announced
that he would ask the government at
Washington for expert aid to ferret out
these offenders and bring them to time.
He will not state for the present what
he has done further in regard to that
matter, but doubtlessly if the present
indictments fail of results, the govern
ment will furnish him with an extra
force to cope with the attempt of the
wholesalers to beat the government out
of it's revenue.
Out of the entire list of 81 indicl-
ments. not one of the defendants
against whom a charge is preferred is
now in custody or under control of the
officers. Consequently the United
States officers did not give out any IN
formation as to what was done, beyond
simple statement as to the entire
number of indictments and the NUM-
Der charged with selling liquor illegal

shals office were yesterday supplied

HAVEN'T THE MONEY.
Why Topeka Garbage Ordinance Isn't
in Operation.

There is danger that the old garbage
question will rise up to again haunt
the city council. Several times it has
been thought that this old Nemesis has
bid a fond farewell to the council
chamber, but she has always showed
up again ready for business
The present garbage company was
granted franchise somewhat over a
year ago Its plan was to put in a
plant for the sanitary disposition of all
kinds of garbage and dead animals.
The council gave it the right to charge
certain prices, and also made it obli-
gatory on all the people of the city to
deposit table refuse in cans which the
purpose, and pay a certain fee to the
company for removing the can when
full and leaving an empty one in its
place Then the concern which pro-
posed to / ut in this plant got into
financial difficulties, and was unable
to deliver the goods. The local man
agement secured from the council an
extension of time until June, of this
year, for the completion of the plant
An attempt is being made to interest
local capital in the plan, and carry it
out under the terms of the franchise.
Considerable difficulty has been en-
countered, it is said, in bringing this
to pass, and several dates which have
been set for beginning work on the
plant have slipped past, and nothing
tangible has been done. Less than six
the time extension, and it seems that
it would be almost impossible for the
company to have its building and ma
chinery ready for business within that
time.
Some of the members of the city
council say that they will be opposed
to granting any further extensions of
time to this company. They say that
they Will be in favor of entering into
negotiations with some concern, and
granting another franchise.
Even though the city has been
nominally working under the new
garbage reduction franchise, yet no
the terms of that franchise, except the
part which provides that the com
DanY shall charge 40 cents a barrel for
hauling away refuse. The company
has been getting the same fees it
would collect if it had a reduction
plant, while as a matter of fact it has
been simply piping the stuff out into
the river.
If the city is willing to have its
refuse disposed of in this manner, it
ought to require the company to lower
its rates
Propositions have been made to the
council by several parties who are
willing to dispose of refuse as it is
now being disposed of for 20 cents
barrel instead of 40 cents. The city
council ought at least to require from
the garbage company a reduction of
its rates, unless it is able to take care
of the garbage proposition as cOntem-
plated by the franchise.
The managers of the garbage com
pany still insist that they are going to
be able to build their plant, but they
may ask the council for more time in
which to do the work. and there is
where the war is likely to break out.
