SOME STEAMBOAT NOTES.

Capt. Thomson has invited bids
for the construction of new steamer
which when completed will ply on
the Baltimore and the Great Chop
tank route. The boat will surpass
in point of equipment any bay craft
leaving Baltimore. She will be the
first side-wheel steamer of the three
deck pattern to hail from Baltimore.
The dimensions will be as follows:
Length over keel, $50 feet; length
over all, 100 feet; beam on hull, 34
feet; beam over guards, 56 feet.
The steamer will be a combined
freight and passenger boat and will
be constructed for night service.
She will be provided with beam
engine, cylinder 40 inches in diane
ter, S-foot stroke of piston and
feathering wheels. The engine will
be supplied with steam from two
Scotch boilers. She will have three
decks. On the main deck will be
the freight room, with kitchen and
pantry aft. On this deck will be
located first-cla cabin forward of
the pantry for white and colored
women, with an entrance from the
saloon deck.
The saloon deck will be fitted up
with ~ staterooms, with a dining
room aft, with seating capacity of
60 persons. There is to be smok.
ing room 20 by 16 feet, divided from

enabling the occupants of the smok-
ing room to view the saloon deck.
On the third or hurricane deck will
be located the pilot house and
officers room, "a additional state
rooms, social hall and smoking
room, thus making a total Of &C
seaterooms. Four of these rooms
have been designed as bridal cham
eers and will be attractively fitted
up. The steamer will have sleeping
accommodations for $50 passengers
and $50 tons of freight. When
loaded she will draw eight feet of
water and is expected to make l6
miles an hour.
BALTIMORE, October 14th, 1904.
TO The Free Lance:
| am in receipt of your esteemed
communication of the 18th Instant,
and note what you say about the
plans of the new owners of the
Weems Line for serving the people
of the Rappahannock Valley and
neutrality-suspicious. there is
any contemplated changes in the
present plans of operating that
territcry-and in reply thereto,
beg to say that this early in the
management of the line it would be
hard to say whether, in my Judge
ment, changes could be made to i'm
prove the service. When we get
more familiar with the wants of the
people, and understand the present
service better than we now do, we
may be able to see something that
will be benefit to the community
as well as beneficial to ourselves.
Our desire will be to always try to
give the best possible service in the
transportation of goods to and from
your territory, and to the comfort of
the travelling public, consistent with
the interests Of all concerned.
Thanking you for your kind interest
in our behalf, I am,
Yours truly,
WILLARD THOMSON, Pres.

MOYER CASE UP.
Contest Between Executive and Judi
ciaI Powers of Colorado.

Denver, Colo, May 5.-Arguments
on the writ of habeas corpus issued on
behalf of Charles H. Meyer, president
of the Western Federation of Miners,
who has been deprived of his freedom
since March 80 by order of Governor
Peabody and is now held as a mill
tary prisoner at Telluride, which is
under martial law, were heard by the
state supreme court today The case
has awakened widespread interest,
and many lawyers and judges of
minor courts from all parts of the
state assembled in the supreme court
room to hear the speeches of Attor-
ney General n. G. Miller and John NJ
Waldron for the state and of E F.
Richardson for Meyer. Two full days
Will be consumed in argument, five
hours TO each side
The question at issue is whether the
governor of the state has authority
to establish military rule for the pur-
pose of suppressing what he termed
"a state of insurrectiOn and rebellion"
due to acts of strikers, in his procla-
nations declaring martial law in
Teller. San Miguel and Las Animas
counties Governor Peabody denies
the jurisdiction of the court in the
case of Meyer and claims the right
to suspend the writs of the courts
] and to arrest and hold as military
1 prisoners any persons whom he deems
guilty of melting insure ctiOn."

TALK ABOUT THE RATES.
Insurance Men Meet in Kansas City
and Discuss Topeka.

The Kansas Fire Prevention asso-
citation. which seems to be a good
Missouri institution, held it's meeting
at the Midland hotel in Kansas City,
Mo. Tuesday, and seems to have spent
most of its time discussing fire pro-
lection in Topeka.
Charles F. Hardy of Topeka is presi-
dent of this association. Mr.. Hardy is
a member of the board of education,
but he seems to be anxious to make
fire insurance rates in Topeka as high
as possible.
The Kansas City Journal says of the
Midland hotel meeting:
Aside from routine business the
most important subject under consid-
GRAFTON was the inadequacy of the To-
peka u aterworks for proper fire pro-
lection. 1t seemed to be the con-
sensus of opinion that the protection
afforded there was a1togeth er INSULT
Gent The association itself takes no
formal action on such matters, but its
members inform their companies of
the discussions which take place at
the meetings of the association and
they decide whether or not the def
ciences reported are sufficient to JUS
tify an increase in rates.

WORRIED CONFIDENCE GAME.
Oscar johnson Trusted a Stranger to
Buy His Ticket.

Salina, Kas., May Oscar John
son became acquainted with Harry
Manning at Abilene while waiting for
the west bound flyer. Manning, who
is much older, learning where John
son was going, advised him to come
TO Salina and purchase a scalper's
ticket. They purchased tickets to this
city and stopped over night at the
Benedict house, both occupying the
same room.
AS they were on their way to a
scalper's Office Manning confided to
his young companion that he could
purchase a ticket to California, to
which place they were going. for
$11.50. Johnson not suspecting any
thing wrong, entrusted to him the
money and waited on the outside
While Manning did the bargaining.
After talking a few moments with Mr..
Ollinger. Manning came out and
claimed tat he had to go upstairs,
saying that he would be down in a
few moments, but johnson was not to
be baffied by any such talk and fol-
lowed him up. They came down and
Manning again inquired about tickets.
While no one was watching he made
his way to the back door and quietly
skipped. Johnson noticed that he was
missing and complained of being
robbed. Notice was sent to the po-
lice station and Marshal Thompson
and several policemen began search
ing for the fugitive. All the outgoing
trains were watched, but no one was
found that answered Mannings de-
| scriptiOn.

ALBAUGH IS CONSERVATIVE.
James T. Bradley Thinks He Placed
Bank Deposits Too Low.

James T Bradley. of Sedan, one Of
the two national bank examiners for
Kansas, says that the bank deposits Of
Kansas were really about four million
dollars above the figures given out re-
Gently by State Bank Commissioner Al
baugh. This would make the total
about SOS, 000 900. The national bank
figures given by Mr.. Albaugh We're
those for January, and Mr.. Bradley es-
Inmates that the deposits in the nation
al banks had largely increased between
that time and April, when Mr.. Al
baugh's report was made.
kansas bank figures still tell a story
of prosperity" said Mr.. Bradley in dis
cussing the matter. THE national
banks make even a better showing than
the estimate included in Mr.. Albaugh' 8
recent report On the basis of their last
statement he estimated the deposits at
$104 900 600, when as a matter of fact,
they were $4,000 600 above that figure

President l. E. Myers of the To-

only city in the country where this is

Some of the Leavenworth fans pulled
Umpire Franklin out of bed about u
o'clock Monday night and told him
that Armstrong of Topeka would lay
for him in the next days game. On
Wednesday when Army told Frank

cisions, he was fined IS and sent from
the game. Il was put out" said Arm
strong afterwards, just because
Franklin had been told that cock and
bull story"
The second day of each series is La
dies Free Day. This applies to the
whole league.
President Shively has not yet made
public his ground rules. They will
( probably be two bases on a hit into

spectators, and one base on an over
throw.
Rapps of Leavenworth evidently
needs a little more education in base
ball. In the game there Tuesday with
Topeka one of his team mates was OF
third base. Rapps had a great idea
and while coaching on the third base
line, pulled off his cap, gave terrific
whoop and tore down to the hom'
plate. He thought his stunt was
great one. But man never looked
more foolish than this same Rapp
when the umpire called his team
mate on third base out. The rules thi
year forbid any foolishness of thi
kind. and when it is done the rune
who is actually on base is called out
