Earl Seymore, whose tragic
death is announced in this issue,
has resided in the west so long
that he seemed better known to
the general public in the ranch
and mountain region than here.
He was an athlet and expert
horseman and adventurer, who
had a host Of acquaintance and
friends along every wild trail
and pass from British Columbia
to Mexico; where no doubt ma
ny tears spring to the eye as
we'll as in his boyhood home here
during the past week, when the
doubly sad news came of his ac-
cidental and untimely taking
off.
The Law and Order League,
of this city, made another
search for contraband liquor
last Friday, resulting in I'll e
seizure by Marshal Vining, of
IL square boxes and one case
of beer at the Illinois Central
express Office, and II boxes and
four cases of beer at the C. E
N. w. depot. The case was set
for hearing before Mayor Reed
yesterday. The question is to
Whom does this stuff belong.
The owners have a chance to
answer. Woodbine Twiner.
Remedy For Rose Bush Parasites
A small insect is destroying
many fine rose bushes all over
the city. R. M. Roman, gar
dener at the Joslyn mansion,
gives an effective remedy,
which is used by him in the
rose garden there: One ounce
of hellebore in three gallons of
water. Apply with a sprinkler
in the evening. Repeat the
application several days. -Oma-

j. w. Daley, the president
of the Heb. XIII, VIII, a secret
society specially arranged for
mutual good in this city, is in
deep trouble. The membership
of a month ago is being sadly
depleted. Many of the best
members have been expelled
because caught at work in the
garden. One member was dis
covered in the act of pealing
potatoes. Dennis O'Leary
joined last week but was dis
covered carryinga pail of water
for his wife, and promptly ex-
PEELED. Mr.. Daily says the by
laws will be enforced as far as
expulsion is concerned, but thus
far the penalties attached do
not seem to be sufficient and
his salary is deficient. -Twiner.

.ELKS MINSTREL NOTES

The rostrum at the Auditorium will
be fitted with regular stage settings for
the Elks Minstrel show. A big sound
ing board viii be erected at the back,
throw the volume of noise out into the
hall. Some of the artists who have
been rehearsing say shat it is almost
like yelling down well. The sounding
board will then serve as a frame work
for the settings. Large, heavy curtains
will be hung from the ceiling. The back
curtain will be an appropriate southern
scene, the home of the black-face man.
The front curtain is still to be design
ed, but it will be something new in that
line for Topeka audiences.
The chorus. the bones and tambour-
ines went through their stunts at the
Elks' lodge room last night. Things
are coming on nicely" was Director
Donahues stage remark at the close.
Coming around in great shape. Every
week full rehearsals will be held in the
Auditorium. Not a minute will be vast
ed. Every effort is being made to get
the show into a fast and furious gait
One of the real spectacles which the
show will present will be the appear
ance of Galen Nichols and Charles K
Holiday in tights. The former has or
dered his from Paris, while Holiday
believes in home consumption, and
consequently got his from Tecumseh.
Mr. Holiday has crossed the Rubicon.
This morning he went to Director Don
ahue and threw the latter into faint
ing fit by saying that he intended to
sing "Infelice'' from the opera
"Ernani." What is more this prospec-
tive candidate for mayor meant it. Don
ahue finally assented, but washed his
hands of the affair by weakly num-
bling: Charley, warn you. But the
blood will be upon your own head

GAS AT BONNER SPRINGS.
Seven Wells With a Large Flow Have
Been Brought IN.

Bonner Springs, Kas., Nov. 10
Drilling for natural gas is going on
actively here and already seven wells
have been sunk that flow an aggre-
gate of more than Is million cubic
feet of natural gas each twenty-four
hours.
The new field is seventeen miles up
the Kaw valley on the Union Pacific
railway from Kansas City, and the
possibilities of benefit to Kansas City
if the field continues to develop are
obvious. A daily supply of Is million
feet is much more than Kansas City
now consumes of artificial gas, but,
of course, the Bonner Springs field
would have to show a larger output
than is now proved to warrant a
heavy outlay in piping the gas to KAN
sas City.
Drilling for gas has been going on
here for nearly a year, and when the
first big well, with a capacity of more
than a million feet day, was
drought i'm last spring, the fact at
tracted no unusual attention, because
natural gas has been found in the
vicinity for twenty years or more, but
never in large quantities.
The finding of natural gas in large
quantities has caused a rush of gas
and oil promoters to this part of the
country, and already practically every
foot of ground in the vicinity has been
leased.

accounts I may be investigating to
throw obstacles in the way of a thor
ough search for the facts.
I'm regard to the coupons falling in
to the hands of bad men who might
change the coupons, stamp them, or
otherwise mutilate the records, that, or
course, must be matter of profession
al confidence that is necessary to re-
pose in any accountant who is making
an investigation.
N"Considering the fact that Mr.. Kelly
himself, according to the article, sug-
gests that I might betray my profess
sion and the confidence placed in me
by the state, the public can draw its
own conclusion, bearing in mind that
my report has shown that the records
in Mr.. Kelly's office have been badly
mutilated and changed during his adj
ministration as assistant, or in full
charge, even to the abstraction of many
pages missing from his record.

TOWNSHIP GOOD FOR THEM.
III. L. Pestana Talks About Finney
Township Bonds.

H. L. Pestana, special assistant at
torney general, who has just secured
a judgment in the district court of
Finney county against Pierceville
township in that county. on $4,000
worth of bonds which are held by the
State school fund but were defaulted
when it came time to pay them off.
says that the bonds are not bad or
worthless bonds, but that the township
simply got into a wrangle over who
should pay them, and it took a suit in
court to straighten the matter out.
There is an abundance of property
back of the bonds and they are per-
fectly good" said Mr.. Pestana today.
1.-The interest coupons were all paid
off, but the trouble was over the pay
ment of the principal. Before it was
due the township was divided up, and
the part that is now Pierceville
township thought that what had for
merly been in the township ought to
help pay off the bonds. For that
reason they were allowed to drag
along without being paid, but the
township is perfectly good for them
and there is no disposition to try to
evade payment but the people who
now live in the township think the
others should help pay them as a sort
of equity. That is something in which
the state is not interested but which
they will straighten out for them
selves -

IN A STEEL CAGE.
Mrs. Helen Moore, the Chorus Girl, Is
Again Locked Up.

Kansas City, Nov. 19.-Mrs. Helen
Moore. the relentless ex-chorus girl OF
New York city, who pursued F. L. r.
Silvey, a travelling salesman, across
half a continent because she loved
him. is again locked in a steel cage in
the matron's apartments at police
headquarters, as the result of an excit-
ing scene near Twelfth street and
Grand avenue at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, in which small blonde
woman and several policemen also
figured. Mrs. Moore said she was fol-
lowing the blonde woman because she
believed she knew where Silyey was
stopping.
"I'll kill himl" she shouted. 'I'll
take the law in my own hands.

ing, searching, for Silvey, and just
when I had found a clew, they arrest
me. But 1 won't give up. I will still
search for that man even if I have to
go to the ends of the earth.''
The police say they do not know
where Silvey is.
Mrs. Moore was arrested by Patrol
man Rogers, at the Junction last
Tuesday on complaint of F. L. r. Sill
vey, who said that she had followed
him until she had caused him to lose
his job and friends. When the police
heard the woman's story, they also
held Silvey. The man and woman
were tried in police court Wednesday
on a charge of disturbing the peace
and Judge Brady warned them that he
would fine them if they created an
other scene on the streets. After the
trial Silvey eluded the woman and she
says she has not seen him since.

treasurers will let him have them.
These he carries around with him to

them to John Seaton on the train
State Treasurer Kelly believes that
county treasurers have no right to give
Rowett the coupons. They might fall
into the hands of bad men who would
stamp them property of the school,"
and that would be point against the
treasurer. A rs cent rubber stamp
would do the business. Mr.. Kelly be-

be kept by the county treasurers pend
ing the investigation
I'm the first place, 1 am not working
a new system. I am just performing
my duty in the regular way a public
accountant must pursue. 1 naturally
must obtain possession of certain cou-
pons and documents where discrep-
ancies appear to exist. Some of these
have obtained in person and others
by correspondence as 1 cannot go to
every township in the state. In many
cases I have secured certificates from
the county treasurers stating what
coupons were stamped as state prop
erty and what are unstamped In no
case has Governor Bailey seen any of
the coupons which l have had in my
possession 1t is thus not true that
let Governor Bailey have some King
man county coupons, or any other
coupons. If Governor Bailey has
shown any one any coupons they must
have been coupons which were sent to
him and not any that were sent to
me, or that secured. 1t is not a mat
ter of importance to me what State
