PAID TOO MUCH.
Sumner County Has Over Paid Ac-
count With State.

Sumner county has discovered that it
has paid $1,000 interest too much on
some school bonds which are owned by
the state school fund.- and the county
treasurer is trying to get the state to
pay it back.
State Treasurer T. r. Kelly said to-
day in explaining the mix-up: ut is
fact that Sumner county overpaid its
interest, because of slight confusion in
the bookkeeping system of that county
The amount due the county is about
1920, and 1 shall get an order from the
state school fund commissioners to re-
turn the money.
The facts are that Sumner county
had outstanding an issue of : bonds,
made payable at the state fiscal agency
in New York. The county decided to
pay off part of this issue, and sent the
money to the fiscal agency. The state
treasurer was not notified that the
county had taken advantage of its OPP
ton to pay off its bonds, and conse-
quently we continued to send in state
ments of the interest, which were paid.
The mistake will soon be all straighten-
ed OUT
According to the Sumner county pa
pers, the amount due the county from
the state is only 81, 900, and County
Treasurer Hubbard is exonerated from
blame. The Monitor-Press says:
''It seems that the original mix-up
occurred in the state treasurer's office
in charging up to the treasurer of this
county interest coupons payable at the
fiscal agency in New York, where the
money had long been on deposit to meet
them on preSentat iOn.' -

Major Tom Anderson wants some

the north approach to the Melan arch
bridge is finished, and suggests that if
nothing else can be had that a bottle
of vichy water be used.
Tom Hughes home run in the third
inning of the game Saturday after
noon was the prettiest clean hit that
has ever been made on the Topeka
grounds. The fans present threw him
a purse which amounted to $10.25.

$4,000 TO MARCH.
New York Plans Record Breaking La
Dor Day Parade.

New York. Aug. 2s.-Plans were
completed yesterday by local labor
leaders for a Labor day parade which,
they claim, will eclipse in point of
numbers and display anything of the
kind ever attempted in this country
More than $4,000 union men will be in
line and will march through the prin-
cipal uptown thoroughfares.
Every union to be represented in the
pa rade will place every man on its
membership roll in line of march, or
as nearly so as is possible. The
United Housesmiths and Bridgemen's
union will have 5000 men. From the
International Brotherhood of Team
sters will come 10000. The Brother
hood of Carpenters expects to have g.
600 men in the parade, while the
Rockmen's and Excavators' union will
contribute 1900.

He LOST HIS HOLD.
Amateur Aeronaut Dashed 1900 Feet
to His Death.

St. Louis, Aug. 2S.-Releasing his
grasp on trapeze attached to a para
chute as the latter opened to the wind,
IL hundred feet above the ground, John
Williams, 3S years old, has been dashed
to his death, at Red House park, near
Cahokia, Ill. Every bone in his body
was broken as Williams struck the
ground with fearful force.
The tragedy is said to have been the
result of the victims determination to
make balloon ascension. AS the
aeronaut prepared to make the ascen-
sion, Williams is said to have rushed
forward and seized the trapeze bar,
calling to his friends Goodbye
AS he clasped the bar the balloon rose
into space, carrying both the aefonaut
and Williams. AS the parachute COM
menced to fill in the wind and the rapid
descent of the canvas was suddenly
checked, Williams, whose strength was
exhausted, was jerked loose from the
bar and his body shot downward.
The aeronaut was uninjured and
alighted a few yards away from the
scene where Williams met his death.

ONLY THREE MONTHS
Until work Will Begin on New Man.
haitian Terminal.

New York, Aug. 2S.-At the present
rate of progress in the work of inn
provement, it is expected that three
months will see the Grand Central
station RACED and work begun on the
magnificent structure which is to re-
place the only railway terminal at
present existing on Manhattan island.
Only the noncompletion of the tenn
porary offices for the railroad COM
pany prevents the work of tearing
down the old structure at once.
Work on the improvements has
gone as far as it can go without en-
tering the station or causing an inter-
ruption of the train service. Where
two years ago stood several hundred
homes. in the section beside the tracks
between Forty-fourth and Forty
ninth streets, today is an excavation
quite extensive in itself, but only a
fraction of the great hole that will be
made in the nineteen square blocks
which the terminal will cover. The
plans of the railroad company call for
the expenditure of $25,000,0o0 on the
improvements.

The Coming Country.

The opportunity for the man of lit
tie means is probably better today in
the prairie states of the southwest
than ever before in the history of the
nation The chance of pre-empting
claims or of taking up lands under
government laws is gone and will not
return again. 1t is a different kind of
opening which lies before the settler
and its promise is of exceeding bright
ness Its best opportunity is shown
in the great southwest where the
transformation is going on and where
the conditions of soil and climate is
in harmony with the warm skies and
temperate winds. To the man who is
not satisfied with his condition, the
southwest has an inviting future.
Along the lines of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway there are vast
areas of unimproved lands awaiting
willing hands to make them yield the
upuntiful crops OF which the land is
factories and new business of every
description. 1t is the finest kind of
an opportunity in the finest section of
the United States The southwest is
urexcelled for the variety and fer
tility of its soils-for its climate. It's
people are progressive and up-to-date
its religious and educational facilities
are as good as can be found elsewhere.
The NJ. K. & T. railway has no
lands for sale, but is interested in
1t is believed that the southwest has
brighter prospects and offers better
opportunities than any other section.
Seeing is believing. For that reason
tie southwest courts investigation of
the conditions as they exist. Anyone

southwest will do we'll to address

CHICAGO MUST PAY.
Panhandle Secures Judgment on Ac-
count of Debs Strike.

Chicago. Aug. 2s.-Chicago has
reaped the harvest of the whirlwind of
the Debs A. r. L. strike of 1894. A
jury in Judge Frost's court in Wheaton
brought in verdict of 100000
against the city in favor of the Pan
handle railroad. This amount repre-
sents, in the opinion of the jurymen,
the damage done the road by the
burning of it's freight cars in the strike
riots
The railroad sued for $4,000. The
jurors decided that $40, 900 was repre-
scented by merchandise in transit and
the city should not be held responsible
for this. But they held that the city
could not escape financial liability for
the failure of the authorities to curb
the mobs and prevent the burning of
the cars.
1t was the contention of the city that
the cars were not burned by mobs. To
demonstrate it's point Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Sutherland, repre-
senting the municipality, brought as
witnesses many of the commanding Of
ficers of the Chicago police depart
ment.
These witnesses told of the begin
ming of the fires in a way to indicate
that the responsibility lay with the
raised by the strikers at the time of the
riots. They asserted that the roads
which suffered heavily by fires were
not sorry to see their equipment de-
stroyed, and that it was to the COM
panies' interest to have a maximum of
disorder to inflame the public mind.
Ten Years Fight.
The city has been fighting these
claims for ten years. The Panhandle
trial has been on since last spring in
the circuit court of Dupage county.
The city will appeal the case.
The Panhandle was not the only
| railroad to lose by fires in the Debs
strike. After the struggle, started at
Pullman by Debs' newly organized
American Railway union, was a few
! days old, it began to grow too un-
wieldy for it's leader. His only policy
as he saw the railroads resisting sue
cessfully. and his own followers falling
away, was to extend the strike.
AS the strike extended it became
| more vicious. When the railroads had
succeeded in moving trains in spite OF
| all Debs could do, he became desper-
ate. Then rioting began in the freight
yards. This bred new disorder and the
! torch came into use. Some one set fire
/ to few freight cars and they were
destroyed Whole freight yards were
set ablaze within week.
