in FORCED MARCH
TWenty-ninth Field Artillery
Racing to 1t. LeayenWOrth.
Camped Near Topeka During the
Night Thursday.
~ MILES IN 2 DAYS.
Expect to Break All Records
Between the Forts.
u MILES in 2 DAYS.
Same Battery Was Mixed Up in
Recent Ft. Riley Disaster.

Eneamped half a mile this side of the
Reform school last night was the Twen-
ty-ninth field artillery, U. S. A. Cap
tain Shaun in command, en- route from
F't. Riley to TT. Leayenworth in an eff
fort to make the. record breaking time
of four days for the journey of about
1S5 miles. The best previous record is
five days, made by a detachment of
cavalry.
1t is the object Of the Twenty-ninth
to do something to retrieve it's reputa-
ton, which was dlmmed somewhat by
the recent disastrous accident at Ft.
Riley. It was the Twenty-ninth field
artillery that was mixed up in the run
away accident, which cost the lives of
several members OF the battery, and in
jured number of Others. The battery
was not especially to blame; it was
handling lot Of wild horses which had
never been broken to battery service,
and one of the animals became fright
ened at a huttering guidon and started
Inc bolt. Ihe horses, men. and Gals
sons raced across the prairie, and
a cliff.
Now the Twenty-ninth field artillery
| IS endeaYorin2 to make a record for eff
| ficiency which will 90 down on the
TT Rilev.
1tS ufSt stunt viii be to break the
forced march record betW cen Riley and
| LeavenWorth.
1t was bright and early on Wednes-
day morning that the Twenty ninth
pulled out of TT. Riley. On Wednesday
and Thursday, the distance covered, as
shown by the cyclOmetre on the wheel
of the linbers, was y miles. If this
record is kept up, the battery will
| reach Fl. LeaVenworth about Saturday
night. It viii be a wonderful record for
the movement of a battery The best
previous record of five days was made
, by cavalry, which is supposed to move
much faster than battery.
The battery went into camp half a
mile south of the reform school at 5
o'clock Thursday afternoon, after a
/ hard days march. At daylight this
morning the march had commenced
again. Had it not been for the desire
of the battery to make record march
it would doubtless have laid over in
Topeka 9r day or so to give the men
a chance to rest UP and visit the town.
This is the customary plan of the
marches between Riley and Leaven-
worth.

who visited friends in Topeka last night,

PAY FOR HIS EYE.
Santa Fe Must Give Jesse A.
White 1000 Damages.
Verdict for Lake View Operator
Returned Thursday Night.
DREAM AS EVIDENCE.
Story of an Ocean Wreck as Told
by E. B. Paisley.
White Went to Window to Watch
the Snow Fly.
DREAM AS EVIDENCE.

A jury in the district court brought
in a verdict for 5000 late last night
in the case of Jesse A. White against
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road. Jesse White, the plaintiff in the
case, was a night operator at Lake
View in 1902. During one of the
coolest nights in January of that year
when the snow was blowing and drift
ing on the railroad tracks and it was
nearly impossible to keep the tracks
open for traffic he received a message
from an operator up the line saying:
If you want to see the snow fly 20 to
your west window when number four
goes through" Number four referred
to was the Santa Fe fast train
scheduled to make nearly SO miles an
hour and on this night had a snow
pIow attached to the front of the en-
CINE and was bucking snow in an eff
fort to keep the track open AS the
headlight of the engine came in sight
the operator stationed himself at the
west window and awaited the on com
| ing train to witness the flying snow
as the snow plOW cleared the track.
/ The performance was a success from
/ the standpoint of the crew who were
| clearing the track, but not so from
1 that of the operator who was the
sole spectator. The snow pillow struck
q pile of cinders and snow Just before
it came to the depot platform and
threw them with such force that the
| window at which he was standing was
demolished. When the operator came
to, it was to find that he had lost the
sight of one eye which had been cut
out by the flying glass and that he
was otherwise badly bruised.
One of the features of the case was
the admission of a dream as evidence
/ E. B. Paisley was learning telegraph
in the Office at the time and was the
man who discovered the operator and
administered first aid. He testified
that he was asleep and was dreaming
of a fearful train wreck at the time
that the accident occurred and that he
/ dreamt that a train had been wrecked
and had buried the little depot under
the operators room and found it filed
/ with steam caused by the snow which
had been piled on the stove and was
melting. and worked some time trying
to rescue his friend before he realized
that there had been no wreck and
that the damage had been caused BY
the weight of the snow and cinders
/ which had been thrown against the
window of the station.
The plaintiff in the case, Mr.. White
is wearing a smile on one side of his
face this morning and a glass eye on
the other and as he was awarded but
half the damages asked for, these. con-
/ ditons seems entirely proper.

JOE WEBER.

The first part of the musical and
 comedy entertainment furnished by Joe Weber and his big company last night at Polls theater was good, very good in most of the situations. But to Marie Dressler belongs the palm, for she has created the most excruciating- ly funny part that was ever assigned
 to her. She was whole show in her self and from her first appearance on the stage she had the audience con vI1lsed with laughter. Higgledy-Pig- gledy" is the name accredited to this new venture of Joe Weber's, and
 there was a whole lot of good things embodied in the name. Joe Weber himself was cast most happily in the character of Adolph SchintZ, the mil lionaire mustard manufacturer. He was handicapped to some extent by his partner, Sam Collins, who was cast in the part of Gottlieb GesIer. The handicap, however. was not really Mir ColIins's fault, because this clever com elian was not cast in a very congenial role. Then, toe. when you remember Lou Fields playing opposite Joe Weber. 1t was hard to take Sam Col lius seriously. Another character which carried weight with the per

VALUABLE TRADE SECRETS.
Two Possessed by Chinese and Assyr- ians That Are Carefully
 Guarded.

Trade secrets generally become pub lie property in tho course of few gen. erations, but two trade secrets are as much of mystery to-day as they were in olden times. Perhaps the most valu- able and best preserved secret is the knowledge possessed by Chinese work men of the manner in which vermilion is manufactured The other, though less useful, is no less valuable and con- cerns the Assyrian method of inlaying tempered steel with gold and silver.
 Apprentices taking either of these branches are sworn by solemn oath never to reveal the secret of their craft. and no apprentice is ever taken unless he furnishes a large sum of money by way of premium as we'll as certiicats of good character The only exception to the premium rule is in the case of the sons of workmen already possessed of the secret Tn some families these se- crets have been transmitted throsgh 90 and 40 generations.
