TOnnOrrOW'S
Paper
Brightness, ceverness and timliness are the
three cardinal points of tomorrow IS Sunday Times
The news Of the world up to date and news inter
est in the special features
Prominent among these is the rather startling
information that for one hundred and sixty years
there has been canal across the isthmus. The au-
thority for this statement is unimpeaehable, and
was SO admitted by members of the Panama Canal
Commission, to whom the matter was referred by
the Sunday Times. The article presents undenia-
bic proofs that IN Colombia, hundred miles south
of the Panama project, a canal connecting two
rivers-knowledge of which was concealed by Spain

century ago.
Another feature of important news interest is
the inside story from Sandy Hook that the biggest
gun in the world-the huge 16-inch cannon that
military experts enthused over-has proved fail
ure, and will be discarded in faver of a smaller
type. The War Department admits the truth Of

MarshaIl's Band Won't BeHelped

Council Finds That No Levy LIS
Authorized.
UP TO THE LIMIT.
Only Chance Is at Already
Overburdened Fund.
Some One Evidently Blundered
in Making Laws.

Marshall's band will have to do
without an apportionment from the
city's tax levy. The ways and means
committee had hoped to make a levy
of one-tenth mill for that purpose. but
on examination of the law passed by
the last legislature they decided last
night that the only money which
would be available would be from the
general revenue fund. The general
revenue fund is a fund which is al
ways drawn upon to the limit, and it
will be impossible to appropriate any
thing from that levy to a purpose as
outlined in the contemplated aid to
Marshalrs The law states in part
that "the mayor and council of cities
of the first, second and third class are
hereby authorized to appropriate from
the general revenue fund and contrib
ute such amount as they may deem
proper not to exceed SIS per annum
for each thousand people in said city,
to the use and benefit of instrumental
music or band organizations"
Without comment the three mem
bers of the ways and means commit
tee present Councilmen Hughes,
Green and Howe, recommended for
passage the levy as outlined in Coun-
Gilman Howe's report The city coun-
Gil will act upon the recommendation

SUES THE BANKERS.
Says They Are to Blame for Bad In
surance Policies.

Wichita. Kas., July pa. H. Bal
dauf, of Englewood, Kas., filed a suit
in the district court here against J. w.
Bergman, of Ashland, Kas., a capital
list and banker we'll known through
out the state, for $4,000 DANA ges
alleged to have been sustained on in
surance policies issued in August. 1908,
by Bergman for Baldauf in the
Royal Exchange Underwriters, COM
posed of several companies that were
not licensed to do bushes in this state
and were declared fraudulent by the
postal authorities.
October %, 1908, Baldauf suffered
loss by fire of the building and stock
insured. He made loss claims and
sent them into the offices of the diff
ferent companies, but they failed to
pay any attention to his communca-
tons and he has been unable to get
results. He alleges in his petition that
Bergman assisted in the unlawful OPP
erations of the companies mentioned
and should be held responsible for the
dilemma of the plaintiff.
According to a letter from State

DUSTIN ALIVE.
Topeka Boy on IlI-Fated Gunboat
Escapes without Scratch.

Topeka had man on the Inflated
gunboat Bennington which blew up
in San Diego bay on Friday forenoon
and killed or injured almost every
member of the crew on board. But
the Topeka man got out safe and
sound, without a single scratch. His
name is Jarrett Dustin. and he is the
oldest son of B. S. Dustin, who lives
at 22S North Chandler street.
One could have imagined the horri-
fed feelings of the elder Dustin as he
picked up the State Journal on Friday
evening and saw the details of the hor-
rible explosion, and knew that his son
was member of the crew. The ter
rible lines. ALMOST every man on
board killed or wounded" stood out
with awful force. He started to tell
his wife of the awful catastrophe.
Scarcely had he told Mrs. Dustin
that their oldest boy was probably
dead when Charlie Dustin, his 10-year-
ern Union telegraph office, dashed up
on his bicycle and handed his father
a telegram. 1t read.
San Diego, Cal, July 81, $50 p. m.
B. S. Dustin, Topeka, Kas.: Explo-
sion on Bennington. Am safe.-J. H.
Dustin"
Just a little while afterwards an
other telegram came. This one read:
"San Diego, Cal, July 81, Z p. M
B. S. Dustin, Topeka, Kas.: Don't
worry I am uninjured. Tell Nellie
Jarrett
Now Nellie was not his sweetheart,
but his pretty 20-year-old sister, to
whom he is very much attached.
The particular hero of the hour,
however, was Charlie Dustin. the little
fellow who brought the telegram. A
distance of two miles extends between
the telegraph office and his home. He
covered this in seven and one-half
minutes on his bicycle-doubtles the
history.
Jarrett Dustin is unmarried, 35
years of age, and a boilermaker by
trade. Three years ago he enlisted in
the navy as a boilermaker. He served
on the gunboat Wheeling for two
years, being stationed at Samoa for
the greater part of that time. He was
then transferred to the Bennington.

lance considered by the committee. A
recommendation was made that a
benefit district be formed of the block
between Madison and Monroe streets
and Fifth street and Sixth avenue for
the opening up of an alley. NJ. Smith,
living on Fifth street between Madi-
son and Jefferson streets, complained
that the alley at the rear of his prop
erty was draining on to his lots and
asked that it be declared vacated. He
was told to present the matter to the
council. The street stand ordinance
drawn up by City Attorney Dreaming
was recommended for passage. The
ordinance provides that the party
erecting the stand must secure the
consent of the adjacent property
owner.
The revised sidewalk ordinance
which is compilation by Chas. F.
Spencer of several former existing
ordinances was recommended for pas
sage after a new revision has been
made.
