Famous Union Spy Victim of Horse
Frightened by Auto.

Santa Cruz, Cal, July 12.-Pauline
Cushman, famous as a Union spy dur
ing the civil war has been drowned
here. She and Charles Gray, her hus-
band, were driving from their home at
Boulder Creek when their horse took
fright at an automobile and backed
off bridge. Mr. Gray got out to hold
the horse while the automobile passed.
The horse became unmanageable and
backed into the stream, falling on top
of Mrs. Gray. She was drowned be-
fore her husbands eyes.
Mrs. Gray was known once as
Amanda Monks. She was the daugh-
ter of Spanish refugee who lived in
New Orleans and afterwards in Grand
Rapids. She became a variety actress
and was celebrated for her beauty. At
taching herself to the Union cause as
a spy, she performed much dangerous
and valuable service in Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and
was once captured and sentenced to
be hanged.

st. Vrain is a young man about %
years of age, and much of the size and
build of Catcher Jack Henry. He
started with the st. Joseph Western
league team this year, but refused to
stay on the team when a general cut
in salaries was announced. Like La
zotte he preferred his release to hav-
ing his pay check sliced. Captain
Blackburn heard that he was at
Mexico, Mo, at work and wired him on
Monday. This morning. St. Vrain re-
turned a signed contract He will be

the Topeka fans to see him work will
be during the Sedalia-Topeka series
which begins on Friday.
st. Vrain has figured great deal in
minor baseball history. He was the
prominent spot in the lime light of
baseball news in 1902. That year he
was pitching for Seattle in the Pacific
Coast league. Comiskey of the Chi
cago White Sox needed a left-hand
twirler and borrowed him from Seattle
with the understanding that if he did
not pan out, that he would be returned
to the coast, for there he was plavine-
great ball. He did not suit the Old
Roman in the Lake City, but instead
of turning him back to Seattle,
Comiskey loaned him to Memphis,
Tenn. He went down there in the
Southern association and literally set
the cotton and green snilax on fire.
After he was there about a month.
Seattle set up a howl. The matter was
brought to the ears of Frank Cav
anaugh, president of the Southern as

that St Vrain's presence in Memphis
was unlawful, and promptly threw out
every game which Memphis had won
with him on the firing line. That

flames. He got $1,000 out of the
Southern association and American
league for his loss of games. At the
time the details were thoroughly ham
mered out in the press.

NEW GRADE OF WHEAT
Grain Men Want the Present System
Revised.

Thirty grain buyers, millers and ele-
vator men are in town today fighting
with each other before the state gram
inspection board about the possible
changes in the grades of wheat.
This is the meeting at which the
grain inspection board establishes the
grades which form the basis for the
inspectors work throughout the year
The board is composed of J. L. White
of Ottawa, ]. B. Corey and Geo. W.
Click.
The millers of the state want new
grade of wheat to be established, to
be known as No. 8 wheat, which shall
include all secured and mixed wheat.
The millers claim that elevator men
and grain buyers buy an inferior
quality of wheat, have it cleaned and
secured, and then get it in under
No. classification. When the miller
buys this secured and mixed wheat,
he finds that it does not make as
good flour as No. 2 wheat should,
and the trouble begins.
There is also some sentiment in IA
vor of the creation of a new grade
to be known as the Turkey red
by grain men from the northwest
part of the state. The purest species
of Turkey red wheat, the celebrated
kansas hard wheat" comes from the
extreme western counties. From the
red, transparent kernels of western
Kansas, the wheat varies through all
shades of red and yellow. Wheat
raised on the eastern bottom lands
where the ground is moist is yellow
and very much like soft wheat. The
western Kansas people believe that
by having the reddest kinds of Tur-
key red classified by themselves they
can get a better price for their prod
uct. AS it is, they have to put in
their grain with all the other kinds OF
Turkey red. The trouble with max
ing this kind of a classification is that
| it is impossible to tell where to draw
the line. The color test is hard one
| to establish.
It seems likely that the new grade
for secured wheat will be established
by the board. The meeting was hello
this morning on the fourth floor Of
the state house in the room formerly
used by the live stock sanitary com.
mission. The debate between th'
delegation representing the Kansa;
| City board of trade and other grair
buying concerns and the millers wal
decidedly spirited at times.
| At noon the board adjourned t.
meet this afternoon, without reaching
any decision concerning the establish
ment of new grades.

Memphis team in 1902, in which year
the trouble occurred between the Pa
cific Coast, the American league and
the Southern association.

make you a rafting good man. He
has great speed and a fine assortm ent

more than half his games while I re-
ceived him. On top of that he is a
nice fellow. He must be about 2S
years old now"
Cravens, who was released, will
probably go to Sedalia. He has an Of
fer from that town. The lengthy
south paw is suffering somewhat from
bad legs, according to gossip among
the players, which interferes with the
fielding of his position. He has good
speed and curves, but with Wichita and
Topeka things did not break right. He
is a good pitcher and gentleman all
the way through, and matters may yet
straighten out for him.

CARRIED $4,000 ON HIS LIFE.
James Gibson Took Out $4,000 Pol
icy the Month He Was Killed.

Fort Scott, Kan, July 12.-James
H. Gibson, the former Fort Scott
resident who was killed in the Twen-
tieth Century Flyer wreck on the Lake
Shore road last month, had life in
surance which in the aggregate
amounted to $4,000. Up until the
month he was killed he only carried
$4,000 insurance, and several insur-
ance agents had been after him for
long time to take out an old line
policy.
In the month he was killed one of
these agents called upon him at his
office and begged so long that Mr..
Gibson was persuaded to take out a
policy for $4,000. Mr.. Gibson had
only made one payment on the policy.
In addition to the life insurance of
$4,000 Mr.. Gibson's widow will get
a big sum from the railroad company.
1t is reported that the heirs of every
one of the passengers that were
killed would get $4,000, that being
the limit of recovery under the Illi-
nois state laws. Mr.. Gibson also had
some stock in the American Foundry
company which was paying hand
