HARTMAN HARD HIT.
Equitable Fight Is Said to Have Cost
Him $5.OOO,OOO.

New York, May 8.-The fight of e.
II. Hartman to keep James H. Hyde
N control of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society has cost Hartman at least
100000, and perhaps double that
amount, according to Wall street
authority. It is said that he has had
to take up heavy loans on Union and
Southern Pacific and other Hartman
securities with the Mercantile and
Equitable Trust companies, National
Bank of Commerce and other financial
institutions in which the premiums of
the 500, 600 Equitable pOlicy-holders
are deposited.
Some of the Wall street bankers said
the officers of these subsidiary institu-
lions OF the Equita bic decided to clean
house. Others told how the insurance
department examiners, in tracing
Equitable money uncovered the big
loans and gave the subsidiary institu-
tions d hint that they had put out
too much money on one class of COL
lateral and to one borrower Not be-
ing able to replace all the loans with
other institutions, Mr.. Hartman, it is
said, had to sell big chunks of Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and other
Hartman stocks. And this, it is said
was the real cause of the recent stock
market slump and the fall in the value
of Union Pacific from 1873 to 1851
1t is learned that young Hyde, who
is drawing a salary of $500, 600 a year
from the Equitable and salaries of
S22, 500 from two of it's subsidiary com
panies-the Mercantile Trust and the
Equitable Trust-started in the Equit-
able on a salary of $4,000. This was
suddenly jumped to $4,000 a year
and again to 100000 a year. The di-
rectors did not pass upon these stupen-
dous increases. A subcommittee of
two, composed of Chauncey NJ. Depew
and Valentine P. Snyder, was appoint
ed and they fixed young Hyde's salary.
Mr.. DepeW is drawing $500 as
counsel fees" from the Equitable and
Mr.. Snyder receives a large amount
as president of the National Bank Of
Commerce, which is controlled by the
Equitable.

GRIZZLY BEARS AND PANTHERs.
Afraid Of Man, Says Wyoming Hunter
Dangerous Only When Attacked.

In the mountains Of Wyoming, where
I have hunted for years, you can find
most any kind Of savage animal that
you get in America except alligators.
Grizzlies, black bears and mountain IL
ons are commonly killed there" says
Hugh Sniverly of Sheridan, Wyo.
Some OF the men that come out there
to hunt think that if they stir one hum
bred yards away from camp they must
be armed to the teeth for fear of being
attacked by a bear or a painter and
killed. There's a heap more danger Of
getting killed on account of leaving
your gun at home when you go down
Market street. Some one might shoot
you on the street in big city but it
is dead sure that a bear or noun
tain lion VIII never attack you unless
you drive him to it.
I've hunted through the best dis
tricts for big game in this country and
I've seen a good many grizzlies. but
I've never seen one of them go after d
man unless he was cornered or wound
ed If you run into a grizzly bear in a
lonely place you'll hear a grunt, some
thing like that of a mammoth hog, and
then there will be a mighty crashing Of
underbrush as he makes of in the Op-
posite direction as fast as he can go.
All you can generally see Of a noun
tain lion is a tawny streak as he makes
off at incredible speed. If he has any
intention of going after you, it must be
his intention to go around the world
and catch you in the rear, for II you
are standing to the east of him he is
sure to go due west.
Mountain lions in the winter time
viii follow sleighs at a distance vail
ing as they go, but there is nothing in
that to inspire terror for I don't think
they have ever been known to close in
on anybody Their terror of human be-
ings is the thing which makes them
hard to suit. In all the time that 1
have been in the mountains I have
never heard of any one being attacked
by a wild animal that had been left
strictly alone. But I've known men to
be killed even by deer when the brute
was driven to desperation.
Grizzlies are the best game in the
world. When you once get their dan
der up they are savage fighters, and the
hunters life is in danger every minute
unless he is a good shot and has a A.
steady nerve If you ever get within
range of the grizzly's paw you are a
dead one. These stories of men killing
them with knives in hand-to-hand
fights are about as reasonable as it
would be to talk of stopping a locomo-
If the big fellow gets the chance to de
liver one blow it is all over. There was
a grizzly up our way that the cowboys
called Big Ben who killed about $50
steers before he was finally shot. He
would break a steers neck with one
blow, and then he would lift him up
and carry him off to a secluded place.
Grizzlies look awkward, but they are
mighty light on their feet, and they can
beat any man in a footrace. Louis
VILE Herald.

City Physician Worried About Case of
Smallpox.

The failure Of parents to notify the
city health department of the appear
ance Of contagious disease in their
families is causing trouble.
Two cases Of smallpox which have
broken out in families whose children
are sent to Branner school are directly
attributable says City Physician Hoge-
boom to the failure on the part Of some
of the parents to notify the city health
department Of the existence of diseases
Of a suspicious nature. In the family
Of AXtel Roseander, 500 Chandler street,
a child was sick for an entire week
with a sickness which the city physi-
clan is inclined to think is smallpox,
while another child in the interim had
been attending school
Another case of smallpox has been
Quarantined at 236 BraDner street A.
11alanstrom. The latter case DR.. Hoge-
boom thinks originates from a fail
ure to report in time the existence of
a case of smallpox in that neighbOr
hood as a precautionary measure.
Branner school was fumigated Sunday
by the city health force. The school
was opened this morning as usual
The city physician however, viii in
Eist upon a report of the existence of
suspicious cases of diseases. He said.
'I am going to make an example Of
some of these parties and viii use the
Iull extent Of the law against them"
The law provides for a penalty not
less than SIS nor more than 500 for a
failure to report to the board of health
The law says: whenever any house
holder shall know that any of his fam
lily is sick with or has died of small
pox, cholera, scarlet fever. diphtheria.
epidemic cerebro-spinaI meningitis, or
any disease dangerous to the public
health, he shall Immediately give no
tice thereof to the nearest board Of
health or health officer and shall cause
the house to be placarded as prescrib-
ed"

THE COUNTRY CLUB.
First Payment Asked for-Paper Cow
ering Original Plans.

Subscribers of the Topeka Country
club received by mail this morning a
circular letter from the directors asking
for the first payment, one-half of one
hundred dollars, to William Macferrans
treasurer, on each share of stock.
The directors evidently decided that
they would not ask for any further ex-
preston in regard to location as it is
ance with resolution passed a ameeting
of subscribers, the board, on May LIST,
after carefully considering the respec-
tive merits of the Gage and Dudley
propositions were fully convinced that
it would be for the best permanent in
terests of the club to select the Dudley
Site
Following the receipt of the letter
this morning a number of subscribers,
some of whom were not present at the
stockholders meeting and others who
We're present, but were dissa tis1ed
with the decision to lease instead of
buy, decided to circulate for signatures
a paper setting forth that they were
in favor of the original proposition.
The paper, which is being circulated
this afternoon, received a number of
signatures up to 2 o'clock, reads as
follows:
Believing that the first plan of the
country club providing for the pur-
chase of the Gage tract is better than
a proposition involving a lease, the IN
dersigned respectfully set forth that
they are still in favor of pursuing the
original course as outlined in the sub
scription paper already signed:
