FELL IN ScALDING TUB.
Terrible Accident at Wichita Packing
House.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 2G.--Fred Kalk-
horst is at the st. Francis hospital
suffering from terrible burns on his
body as a result of falling into tank
Of scalding hot water. He Is young
German laborer and was employed at
the scalding tub in the plant Of the
John Cudahy Packing company in the
north part Of the city.
His entire body is a blistcred mass.
The skin on his chest, limbs and the
soles of his feet peeled off when his
clothes were removed Fortunately
none of the hot water was taken into
his lungs and there were no internal
burns.
The scaldlng tub is large iron tank
about Is feet long and G feet wide. 1t
is feet in depth. The water in the
tub, which is kept hot by means Of
steam pipes, was 3 feet deep. 81
The last hog had been killed and
Kalkorst was probing around on the
bottom of the tub with a long pole in
order to find any hogs which might
have sunk and been missed during the
work.
As he leaned over the edge of the
tank his feet slipped on the greasy
floor and he plunged head first into
tho scalding water.
If it had not been for the timely aid
Of the men in the room the unfortun-
ate man would undoubtedly have been
cooked alive. As it is, his entire body
is mass Of burns and he is suffering
untold agony as a result Of his terrible
experience.

place, Charlton Park, is a little more
hard cash, Hitherto his mother, the
countess of Suffolk and Berkshire
with his two sisters, the Ladies' How
ard, have lived there entirely, doing
all his entertaining for him,
Charlton Park is one Of the most
splendid old Jacobean houses in Eng.
land, and its great oak-paneled pic.
ture gallery, as well as most Of the
vast state rooms, is crammed from
end to end with old family portraits
and royal pictures. These include
portraits Of Queen Elizabeth, Mary of
Modena, King George and Catherine
OF Bragan2a. Three old family por.
traits are in silver frames, a quite
unique and long extinct luxury Of the
days Of family property.
The wonderful old Kitchens are a
feature Of Charlton Park. They are
at a long distance from the house
itself, being connected by an under.
ground tunnel built Of stone. These
are, however, seldom if ever used.
Lord Suffolk was educated at Win
chester; he is a great sportsman, and
the kennels Of his own pack Of hounds
are in close proximity to the fine old
mansion.
His friends are delighted over his
engagement to so fine girl as Miss
Letter whose sister, Lady Curzon, is
now satisfied with the improved state
Of her health,

for conValescins, and Lady Curzon's $

KANSAS-col0RADo SUIT.
Attorney General Coleman asks for
an Appropriation Of $4,000.

| Topeka, Dec. 27.--In his biennial re-
port, issued today, Attorney General
c. c. Coleman asks for an appropria
tion Of $4,000 from the Legislature
this winter to carry on the Kansas
Colorado water litigation. He reviews
what has been accomplished in the
case up to date and says:
"trhe evidence so far porduced has
shown that the interests involved are
| vastly greater than has been hereto
fore supposed, even by those most ar
IDENTIFY supporting the prosecution of
the case. II has been demonstrated
beyond question that since 1890 the
ordinary flow of the river has been re-
duced about three-fourths, the width
OF the ordinary stream more than one
half, and that the depth of the under
flow below the surface, in the allu-
vial bottoms, has fallen from three to
seven feet, over the entire area Of the
| Arkansas bottoms from Garden City
to Wichita, and in some localities dis
appeared; that in this vast territory,
by reason of this reduced moisture,
within the same length Of time the
productiveness in staple products Of
these fertile farms has been very
greatly impaired. 1t is the judgment
OF the counsel representing this state
that no case Of greater importance to
so many citizens of this state has at
any time been before the supreme
court Of the United States. The i'm
portanco attributed to it by the state
OF Colorado may be inferred from the
fact that at the same time our legis-
lature made its appropriation for the
purpose Of prosecuting the case, that
Of Colorado appropriated $4,000 for
defense, and the executive department
Of that state has ever since been con.
ducting far-reaching investigations
through experts specially employed.
"l have gone somewhat into detail
about this case for the purpose Of
making it apparent that it will be ne.
cessary for the coming legislature to
provide with liberality for the further
prosecution Of the case, if the advan-
tagc thus far attained is 10 be follow
ed up. The appropriation made in
1908 was meager and inadequate. |
believe you have expended 1t with the
utmost discretion. With the excep-
tion, OF the expenses Of the evidence
taken for defendant in December, all
expenses and fees to date have been
paid. But the fees paid to counsel
employed have not been commensul-
ate with the importance OF the case,
the ability Of counsel and the amount
Of time which should be devoted to a
proper handling Of the case. | esti.
mate that at least $4,000 should be
appropriated 10 pay the expenses Of
completing the evidence, printing the
abstract, paying additional counsel
fees, and the necessary incidental and
travelling expenses attending the prop
er preparation and presentation Of the
case. 1t is expected that the case can
be brought to final adjudication
within the next eighteen months;
probably not sooner"

with reference to your telegram

cult of access during the prevalence
Of the existing monsoon.
Orders We're given sometime since
to strengthen all detachments on the
cast coast, but unfortunately this was
delayed by the wreck and loss Of a
coast guard boat carrying d hundred
or more Of the constabulary, The mon
were saved but the delay in sending
another coast guard boat to the res
cue resulted in leaving these small de-
tachments at Oras and Dolores isolat-
ed and the consequent loss. All cast
coast stations have been heavily re.
inforced and we are still sending men
in by my direction, General Allen

Bill Yves Neglected Grave.

Here and there all over the world are scattered the weed-grown, un. marked and utterly neglected sleeping places of those whom the people de. lighted to honor when they were alive. Statesmen, soldiers, poets-great men in all walks of life have been thus easily forgotten when once their pow CT to benefit or entertain has passed.
 William Edgar Nye, prince of humor- fists, lies in his last sleep in the little graveyard of a country church at Flet- cher, N. O., and the grave of the fa- nous laughmaker is utterly neglected. The mound has sunk to the level of the surrounding turf and the only mark by which 1t is identified Is bottle stand ing neck down in the sod. Perhaps the time will come when the humorist's army of admirers will erect fitting memorial over his resting place, but why should the insult to his memory have come first?

If we have a touch of lame back or think the Kidneys are not right, we take few of Dodd's Kidney Pills and the symptoms are soon all gone.

Inventor of the Scythc.

In rummaging among old papers a Lynn gentleman has discovered the complete pattern of the American scythe, which was invented two and a half centuries ago by Joseph Jencks, an ironworker of Saugus, Mass. The invention of the scythe, says the Bos- ton Record is referred to in Lewis and Newhall's "TIistory of Lynn"
 This scythe took the place of the English "bushwhacker' scythe, made of a piece of thin steel about eighteen inches long and three inches wide. Jencks more than doubled the length of the scythe, reduced its width to one and one-haf inches, and stlffened 1t by welding a square bar on the back.
 The patent was, by enactment of the Massachusetts General Court, as fol- lows:
 "May 23, 1865. lit is ordered that Joseph Jencks, senr., and his assigns, only, shall haue liberte granted to them to make that engine the said Jencks hath proposed to this Court for the more speedy cutting of grasse for seven yeares, and that no inhab- itant or other person within this juris- diction during that time shall make or vse any of that kind of engine with. out license first obtained from the said Joseph Jencks, on the poenalty of five pounds for eury such engine so made or vsed, to be recouered at any Court in this Jurisdiction by the said Joseph yencks, senr., or his assignes."

regular trips from Eureka, Cal, to va

Toledo will coal at Marshfield, going

there to Newport will be II hours, eight
hours railroad ride from Portland
This is four hours quicker time than
the nearest stage line connecting Coos
Bay with Roseburg and does away with
"A hours of staging over the dusty roads
in the summer and rain and mud in

Just to what extent the steamer will
benefit Yaquina Bay is yet to be dem
