DIE IN FERRIS WHEEL.
Aged Couple Are Hurled From Their
Seats.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept SIN the
sight of thousands of pleasure seekers
here A Seventhal and wife, each
about 65 years old, were thrown from
the top car of a Ferris wheel. The
woman is dead and the man uncon-
scious. One arm is broken, his skull
probably fractured, and he is injured
Internally. The couple came from Eau
Claire to attend the state fair, in
progress here. The wheel is an at
traction at the fair grounds.
The wheel is about seventy feet
high. Mr.. and Mrs. sSeventhal were in
car by themselves. All the other
cars were occupied.
When the couple was at the highest
Mrs. Seyenthal struck the ground on
her head. Her skull was fractured
and other injuries inflicted. She died
when she reached the hospital.
When her husband was taken there
he recovered consciousness for a mo-
ment and gave his name and address.
Then his senses again left him, and he
has not recovered consciousness.
There were $4,000 persons on the
grounds at the time. The sight of the
caused a temporary panic. No other
person on the wheel was injured.
The Seventhals are strangers in the
city. The authorities at Eau Claire

Seventhal is held until her family or
friends have been heard from.
CONSERVATION prevailed among the
hundred or more persons on the wheel
when the fatality occurred. A number
of Women and children among them
with difficulty were restrained from
jumping from the wheel
The wheel had been carefully inspect
ed and was found apparently to be ir
perfect condition. The Seventhals were
not hanging out of the seats or over
| the railing when the accident happened
What caused the car to swerve is moi
known, and doubtless viii not be until

fighting continued until late last niRfat.
The consulates, banks and government

Balakhan was completely burned
out after the Tartars had pIundered it
of everything valuable and although
shot down in masses by the artillery,
the Tartars were not deferred from
their work of wreckage and Iooting.
Fierce fighting and great sIaughtew
occurred at the BaIakhan hospital
where a thousand Armenians and
workingmen gathered. General Shiran-
kin sent a. detachment of artillery vvftEf
three guns to the scene and the COM
mander of the detachment summoned
the crowd to surrender. The latter re-
piled with yolleys of stones and some
shots which killed one Of the grrnne~s.
The commander of the troops there
upon opened fire. The first dischargs
of the three guns miscarried, the shells
falling into the sea, but the second
discharge sent the shells crashing into
the hospital. where they exploded, kill
ing an immense number OF men and
wrecking the building. The mad
dened crowd charged the guns ana
captured them after deluging the gun
ners with burning oil. The latter fed.
Cossaclzs and infantry reinforced the
artillery and attempted to recapture
the abandoned guns but were driven
back by the suffocating smoke.

NEGROES STILL ANGRY.
Deputy sherifs VIII BE at Bonner
Springs to QreII Riot.


Bonner Springs, Kan, Sept. S.-Thes
board of education here determined to
force a separation of the races in the
schools of the city, has asked for the
presence of deputy sheriffs next Mon
day to prevent repetition of the tur-
bulent scenes there last Tuesday when
the negroes would not permit their
children to be enrolled in separate
schools, thereby causing a postpone
ment of the opening.
Members of the board of education
say they are acting within the law In
separating the races in the schools.
It is reported that the negroes who
desire to avoid trouble are advocating
a plan of submitting to the directors
of the board of education until their
If the courts decide that the board of
education has the power to maintain
separate schools for the races many
of the negroes declare there is moth
ing left for them to do but to submit.
1--WE have the very best legal advice
that we are acting entirely within the
law in arranging a separate school for
the whites and negroes" said J. d.
Waters, a, member of the board. 1--WE
have given the negroes two of the best
rooms in the same building with the
white students. We have exercised
the utmost care in employing two of
the best negro teachers to instruct
them. The negroes will have to be
satisfied with this. We are acting for
the best interests of the school and for
the two races. We do not expect any
serious trouble. There are few ne
groes who will refuse to submit to our
plans, but in time they will be forced
to submit"

SO MUCH ALIKE.
NJ. Witte Says Russia and America Are
Siamese Twins.

New York, Sept. 8.-"America and
Russia are almost like the far famed
Siamese twins" said Sergius Witte, the
Russian peace envoy, in an interview
published today by the Herald. "The
two great countries of the world are
Russia and the United States. They
are the two great countries of the
world because they both produce more
material This is the secret of any
nations success
Asked if he thought Russia's COM
mercial condition had been bettered or
injured by the war Mr. Witte said:
Russia is better now than she ever
was. After the war she will get on
her feet again, and when she gets on
her feet it will be firm and strong
position that she takes. We have the
have the greatest undeveloped coun-
try that exists. Our climate ranges
from the tropics to the Arctic. It is
very delightful thing to have coun-
try so much like our own step in and
act as the intermediary. I do not care
to speak about the trouble or the
future results That is matter which
is entirely diplomatic and official, but
1 do feel very grateful to the Amer
lean people outside Of all official rela-
tionS- We came here as friends and
we were received as guests. We are
still in that condition. Russia is a
much misunderstood country in Amer
lea, America is so far away, SO remote
lin all the possibilities of our national
life, that exaggerated reports become
current here. 1t also happens that
we have erroneous reports about the
United States. We are told of your
lynchings, your riots. your popular up
risings. In st. Petersburg and Mos
COW these appear to US as very serious
matters. Doubtless we appear to your
statesmen here in the same position.
Still I think it's only fair to look at
the two troubles in social economics
with an eye-glass which reaches 5000
miles. I certainly do not intend to
state that the Russian civil life is per-
feet. I presume you do not intend to
state that the civil life of America is
perfect. We both have our faults.
We both, trust, are striving to over
come or ObViate Them

the secretary of state throws some
illumination on the extent of Turkish
red tape It seems that Mr.. Nahoom
F. Rozook is heir to some property in
Turkey. In order to authorize per-
son at Constantinople to act as his at

attorney in Turkish, and attached the
notary's seal and affidavit. Then il
came to the secretary Of states office
to have Secretary Burrows official en-

all right; then it went to the governor.
who has to fasten on an endorsements
that Mr.. Burrow was all right. Eevery-
body attached big gilt seal and some
red ribbons, and the document gained
a most imposing appearance.
Presumably Mr.. Razook will now
have to get President Roosevelt to
certify that Governor Hoch is author
lied to do business, after which the
Turkish ambassador at Washington
will issue a certificate of election to
President Roosevelt.

Mr.. Lynch With Arrest.
Told in Presence of officers to
Do His Worst.
WANTED LITTLE GIRL.
His Brothers Child Held by
Children's Home Society.
Came All the Way From Wash
ington to Get Her.

A man giving the name of ]. f.
Iynch. who says he is from Seattle,
Wash, had a stormy interview with
Superintendent o. S. Morrow of the
Kansas Children's Home society, in the
latter's office at II o'clock today.
Lynch came to Topeka with the
avowed intention of getting possession
of a little girl, Imogene Lynch, who IS
in charge of the Orphans home. The
little girl, who is 9 years of age, has
been in the Orphans home for about
two years. She was turned over to the
home by the probate judge of Bourbon
county, Kansas, where both her par
ents died.
Mr.. Lynch claims to be an uncle OF
the little girl, and vows that she shall
not be kept by strangers.
Two weeks ago the child was given
into the charge of Mrs. ]. P. Douglass
of SIS West Fifth street, to keep on
probation. If the child proved salts
factory, Mrs. Douglass was to adopt
her
Three days ago Lynch came to
town and started a search for the
girl He got scant satisfaction from
Mr. Morrow, and finally located the
child at the Douglass home. instead
of going into court for the possess
sion of the child, Lynch decided to
kidnap the little girl. Lynch is ac-
companied by a lady, presumably his
wife. They drove out to the Douglass
home several times, and Lynch was
seen hanging around the alley back
of the house beckoning to the child.
The Douglass household was suffl-
GENTLY disturbed by the action to no

the police to capture Lynch Detec-
tives Goff and Pavey found the man
and accompanied him to Morrow s
office. where a stormy interview fol-
| lowed. Lynch declared that he
would not permit his brothers child
to be adopted by strangers, and that
he had been searching for the girl
and a younger sister ever since the
death of their parents.
Morrow threatened Lynch with prose-
cution, and Lynch defied him. The Off
GERS had nothing further to do with the
! case and after buying them cigar

around and take the case into court if

that there was no side pet OF $1V,VVV

agreement to split the purse, winner 70

his presence in the ring would be
