MANY ARE DISGUSTED.
The Glorious Fourth Was Too Noisy
for Any Use.

There is some talk among the city
councilmen of passing an ordinance
which will prevent the use of big can
non fire crackers and some other
forms of dangerous explosives on the
Fourth of July There is usually such
talk Immediately after the Fourth. At
some times it has even resulted in the
passage of an ordinance, But the
opposition of the fireworks dealers of
the city has heretofore been sufficient
to secure the repeal of the ordinance
prior to the next Independence day.
Councilman William Green will
probably introduce at the council
meeting this evening a resolution in
structing the city attorney and the
health and sanitation committee to
draw up an ordinance such as has
been suggested.
1t may be a good thing to have the
large and dangerous kinds of dyna-
mite fire crackers prohibited, but the
councilmen have probably lived long
enough to know that noise cannot be
suppressed on the Fourth of July, and
they might as well limit their efforts
to the dangerous kind of noise max
ing, such as shotguns and revolvers.

Indebtedness unless they are declared
illegal by the court
1t looks as though there was a
united effort to get that bond deal
! through on the strength of false GER
tificates before the official abstract of
Dodge City property should reach the
state auditor. The first certificate
presented was that of the city clerk
showing the total Indebtedness of the
city at $4,000 and the assessed valua-
ton at $376.0O0. These figures would
make the Indebtedness just below the
5 per cent limit of the valuation. An
attempt was then made to rush the
registration of the bonds through be-
fore any discrepancy was discovered,
but as the city clerks figures did not
compare with those in the state aud
itor's Office the registration of the
bonds was ordered held I'D until a
certificate should be procured from
the county clerk, attesting the cor
rectness of the city clerks figures as
the auditors office depends on the
abstract reported by the county clerk.
u. E. Dunn, the Wichita bond broker.
who was managing the deal, rushed
out to Dodge City and came back with
what purported to be a certificate
from the county clerk, showing total
valuation of over $3S4,000. This he
presented to the state auditor. but in
the meantime the State Journal had
exposed the deal and published the
fact that the bonds had been offered
within eighteen months at IS cents
commission was paying par for them.
This caused the deal to be hung up.
On July 1 the limit allowed by law
to county clerks to make their re-
turns to the state auditor expired and
the county clerk of Ford county had
to make his return or be liable to a
fine of 500 for neglecting to do so.
The abstract was made on July 1 and
reached the auditors Office today.
The name of Judge E. H. Madison |
has been mixed in the deal. but no one |
believes that Judge Madison was a |
party to the attempt to unload an |
Illegal deal on the state school fund. !
Judge Madison was asked to come to 7
Topeka and give his opinion as to |
whether the bonds are good or not |
He told the school fund commission |
he thought they would be paid all
right but so far as is known he had
nothing to do with the false certlh-
Gates. He seems to have been in
veirIed into the matter in order to
lend respectab ility to the deal.

me with the greatest courtesy. I was
shown the clothes of the Russian killed
in battle and today 1 accepted the gen
erals invitation to go and see two cap
tured Russians; one a man, the other a
lad of %. The first was shot through
the ribs, the lad cut over the head with
a sword while resisting capture. Neither
could speak English, but they both
seemed glad to see me, especially wnen
they caught the one word America.
There is a great contrast between the
big, loose-boned, dirty Russians and
the little Japs, who make you think of
a cat always ready to spring. I think
the Jap army is marvel. The soldiers
are orderly, quiet and as tough as shoe
leather and perfectly crazy to fight.
There can be only one end to this
contest and I do not think it can be
long delayed. Then the burning ques-
ton will be, What next?' We are GER
tain to see a great change in the east.
China is certain to come under Jap in
fiuence if not rule. Well. we shall see
what we snail See."

TOLD BY THE CAPTAIN.
Story of the Wreck of the Danish
Steamer Norge.

London. July 5.-Of TIA souls on boar,
the Danish steamer Norge, 12S, incluj
ing Captain Gundel, are known to hav,
| been saved. One of the children dieC
IN a life boat which brought others t.
safety. For the missing 646 persons
small hopes are entertained
| In addition to the PC persons wh6
| landed at Grimsby. 102 survivors of tht
Norge were landed at Stornaway, 30 by
| the British steamer Cervona and 40 by
the German steamer Energie. They
We're all in a pitiful condition. Many
were taken to a hospital and most OF
them had to be carried ashore.
Among those on board the Energie
was Captain Gundel of the Norge. He
said:
''All went well until about 7:45 O'Clock
last tuesday. When about Is miles
south of Rockall 1 felt the steamer
strike heavy forward on a sunken rock.
There was a gentle breeze blowing from
the south with cloudy sky. I was on
the bridge with Chief Officer Carpenter.
SoundingS were taken, and it was re-
ported there was five feet of water in
the forward hold
Orders were given to commence
pumping and also to the passengers to
put on life belts and be ready to get
into the boats, which were ordered to
be put out.
THE crew worked nobly under the
leadership of the chief officer. Seven
boats got safely away, the life savers
were cut adrift and the steamer went
down by the bow. The chief officer told
me she was sinking and 1 told him to
jump overheard, which he did, I did not
see him again.
II went down with the steamer. My
right leg got damned between two
stanchions and was very much injured.
When rose to the surface 1 noticed a
number of bodies floating.
THE Norge was af1oat only about 20
minutes after striking. 1 swan for
about 20 minutes and came across Sec
ond Engineer Braun who is good
swimmer. We kept company for about
an hour and a half when we noticed a
boat some distance off and we both
made for it.
the engineer reached the boat first.
Both of us were taken on board, ex-
hausted. We found that it was life
boat No. 1. 1t was crowded and under
the charge of Seaman Peter Olesen.
After recovering a little 1 took
charge, our provisions consisted of a
box of bread and two TASKS of water.
The boat was steering for st. Kilda,
$50 miles distant.
ION Saturday morning we saw a
large schooner rugged steamer about |
four miles distance. We put up a
blanket on an oar, but the steamer |
passed on without taking any notice of |
us.
ION Sunday morning a bark passed |
some distance off but with the same |
result. At about IL o'clock Sunday land |
was Slghted and the dropping spirits OF
all were revived. 1t proved to be ST. |

er was noticed coming from the west |
bearing down on our boat. She proved |
to be the Energie. and at o'clock we
we're safe on board. Saturday morning |
0ne of the children in the life boat died

Who were in the boat the body was
buried at sea-"

SEVENTEEN SPECIAL TRAINS.
Santa Fe Will Do a Big knights Tenn
plar Conclave Business.

w. ]. Black. general passenger
agent for the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad. announces that his
road has already secured seventeen
special trains to the twenty-ninth tri-
ennial conclave of the knights Tenn
plar at San Francisco in September,
besides being chosen by the grand
commandery as the official route from
Kansas.
"Our traffic at this time" said Mr..
Black, will be even heavier than it
was during the month of the Metho-
dist conference in San Francisco.
Then we only had twelve special
trains. For the Knights Templar con-
cIave, however, we have already Sc
cured seventeen trains and are not
through yet. Most of these trains
will come from the east, containing
passengers from the New England
states, and will be turned over to our
road at Chicago. Besides these we
will have several special trains return
ing. Those who go out over the
northern route will return via the
Santa Fe and those who take the
Santa Fe to San Francisco will no
doubt wish to take some other line
coming back in order to see more of
the country"

WHAT RURAL CARRIERS DID.
June Was an Unusually Heavy Month
for Them.

Postmaster Guthrie has made a re-
port to ]. L. Bristow, fourth assistant
postmaster at Washington on the
amount of mail carried by the rural
route delivery system for this terri
tory The report follows: Route 1, L.
H Bowman, 6,011; route 2, Frank, b.
Croker, $500; route 3, J. S. Reedy, A.
93S; route 4, ]. NJ. Brown, 5,424; route
5, John May, S.641; route 6, c. A. Lewis,
sop: W. r. Comstock. 1888; j. w.
Thompson, 5,2S8. Total. 54,S92. These
pieces of mali as they are called,
consist of letters, packages, registered
mails, newspapers. etc. The sale of
stamps, and stamped paper on the
eight routes amounted to $117.
The month has been an unusually
heavy one and comes close to making
a record for the rural route service
The farmers are evidently being great
ly benefited by its institution.
The law enacted by the last congress
to increase the salaries of the rural
route carriers, has not yet been Off
cially enforced so far as the Topeka
routes are concerned. An increase from
$50 a month was made to $720 year.
This sum is still barely enough to pay
a carrier, for he must provide his own
horses and wagon. Few carriers have
less than two horses and some are US
ing three.
