MIR. LANE is DROPPED.
Railway Board Doesn't Need a Rate
Clerk After All

E. R. Lane, the rate clerk who was
hired by the state board of railroad
commissioners a few weeks ago, has
been let out. The board seemed to
think it could get along without a rate
clerk
The story of how Lane was hired
and discharged is rather amusing
Lane is an intimate friend of Commits
sioner Geo. Wheatley. One day when
Wheatley and Robson We're here in
Topeka, Wheatley persuaded Robson
to vote to give the job to Lane. Walker
was not in on the affair. Yesterday
Mr.. Wheatley was absent, and Walker
persuaded Robson to vote to dismiss
Lane. Robson seems to be willing to
oblige when t'other dear charmers
away"
Carr Taylor, attorney for the board,
is said to have been dissatisfied with
Lanes work, and the fact that Ed
Sinner is able to attend to all the rate
work make it desirable to dispense
with Lanes services for economical
reasons The board may hire a stenog-
rapher to assist Mr.. Sinner with the
correspondence.

TALK OVER CHINA.
Roosevelt and Root Discuss the Note
to the Powers.

Oyster Bay, July 21.-The identical
note from the Chinese foreign officials
to the powers neutral in the pending
far eastern convention has been re-
ceived by the president. This note will
be taken up and considered by the
president and Mr.. Root at their meet
ing today What attitude the United
States government will assume towards
China's protection cannot now be pre-
dicted. That the president and Secre-
tary Root are considering that ques-
ton now is beyond doubt. 1t was in
timated today that the matter is of
such delicacy that public discussion of
it in an offhand way just now is I'M
desirable.
Secretary Root, after taking up in a
formal way the threads of the state
department work at Washington, came
here today to consider with the presi-
dent some of the questions now pend
ing He will pass the day and night art
Sycamore Hill and perhaps a part Of
tomorrow. He arrived here in time to
take luncheon with the president. DR..
Lyman Abbott of New York came on
the same train. He also was guest
at luncheon.

DowNPouR NEAR GALENA.
Spring River Threatens to Flood Out
the Mines.

Galena, Kan, July 21.-The people of
this city entertain grave fears for the
safety of farmers in Spring river val
ley. and especially the residents of
Badger, a little mining camp situated
on the bank of the river about six miles
north of this place, on account of heavy
rains which occurred at Carthage, Mo-,
late Thursday afternoon. A report re-
ceived here about 4:30 stated that an is
foot wall of water was on its way down
the valley
The people of Badger and the vicinity
of Lowell, a little village situated on
the bank of the river about three miles
southeast of here, and of Baxter
Springs, have been notified. It is
thought there will be no loss of life, as
they had time to seek higher ground
On account of the unusually heavy
rain which fell at this place Spring
river has been rising at the rate or one
foot per hour. The river is already
bankfull. The danger to result from
such a wall of water is easily appreci-
ated. and it is feared that incalculable
loss to crops and live stock will result.
A telephone message from Badger last
night stated that the river had raised
IL feet since morning, and that there
was no signs of a diminutiOn in the vol
urne of water The greatest rise for any
one hour was Is inches during the noon
hour The zinc and lead mines at
Badger are located on low ground near
the river and would be easily flooded
even with an eight foot wall of water
The report from that place stated that
400 men were at work building Golfer
dams around the shafts, and some of
the shafts are being covered over with
boards and mud to prevent them from
being flooded. which would result in a
loss of thousands of dollars.

KID MCCOY IN FORM.

Needed Lesson.

New York. July 21.-Feeling the
effects of the heat. Kid Mccoy, the
pugilist made up his mind to take
dip in the sea before paying visit to
the Brighton beach race track. He
bought a ticket at the Brighton beach
bathing pavilion and hired a fine flannel
suit, for which he paid an extra
amount. When the bathing suit was
handed to him the bath attendant
gave him ticket. This ticket is sur
rendered to a gatekeeper at the end
of the bath as a voucher that the
bathing suit has been returned.
After Mccoy had enjoyed a good
swim he returned to the bath house.

he was passing one of the attendants,

ticket?"
"Oh, here it isl was the Kids re-

REACHED HIGH MARK.
Gen. Metcalf Says That Pensioners
Are Decreasing.

Statistics in the office of Wilder S.
Metcalf, United State pension agent in
Topeka, show that the number of PEN
sioners are decreasing. While the de-
crease in the fiscal year which ended
July 1 amounted to only 63, General
Metcalf believes that the pension roll
will never be as large again as it has
been.
The Topeka agency handles the bust
ness for Missouri. Kansas, Colorado,
New Mexico, Indian Territory and Ok
lahoma. The total number of pension
ers in this department is 115,S20, and
the number this year is 1883. The
difference between these totals is ex-
planned to the effect that 189 were lost
by transfer to other agencies, and So by
other causes. The loss by death was
4,506, by remarriage 1874, by minors who
arrived at the age of 16 years, 1874, by
failure to claim pensions for three years
142, and by order of the department. 55.
The total gross loss was 5,031.
THE number of pensioners" said
General Metca1f, received it's highest
figure a year ago and has been steadily
going down ever since. The decrease
will be more next year.

KRYL STANDS ALONE.
Famous Cornetist No Longer Plays
With the Band.

Bohumir Kryl. the phenomenal cor
netist, has at last reached the proud
distinction of putting his instrument to
his lips only during his solos. He does
not play with the Innes band in the
cornet section. He played in all the
numbers on the former visit of the
band to Topeka, three years ago.
But since that time Kryl has further
improved his position as a soloist and
he no longer has to appear except for
his solo performances. This is an
honor that has come to but few instru-
mental soloists. Times himself is one
of the very few who ever attained this
distinction. When he began with Gill
more he was already a noted from
bonist but it was not until the later
years of his association with the noted
Patrick Sarsfield that Innes was not
required to play in the general num-
bers.
Rafreola and Lefebre, the latter a
king of the saxophone, are names well
remembered among the Gilmore SOLO
lists. Yet they always played with the
band.
In the Sousa band both Arthur Pry-
or the great from bonist, and Clarke,
the cornetist, have always lent their
talents to the ensemble.
1t is thus seen the eminence that
Kryl has attained.

Mr.. DRENNING IS EASY.
At Least Negro With a Cheap Watch
Found Him So.

City Attorney Dreaming has had an
experience which he does not relate
with any seeming gusto. Some chap,
good, appeared at the city attorneys Of
flee and putting up a Woeful tale of
the necessity of raising ten dollars in
stanter, asked Dreaming If he would not
make the advance, offering at the same
time as security hunting case watch.
Dreaming out of the kindness of his
heart handed over the ten dollars. The
darby, for'it was a colored man, bowed
himself out with the promise that he
would return tomorrow sure and re-
deem that watch. 1t was a family heir
loom, a family relic and he would not
think of permitting it to go unredeenl-
ed. No, life itself was not SO sweet as
the possession of that watch. Might the
Heavens smight him If he permitted
that valuable to remain in foreign
hands.
Tomorrow came and went and Dren-
ming watching the door with longing
eyes beheld not the presence of the
darby. Another tomorrow came and
went and still the former owner failed
to put in his appearance. Dreaming
feels now as if a founding had been
left on his hands. The watch looks
like it might have been made in Kan
kakee Ill. u. S. A, and like the pic
lures of watches advertised in the Au-
gusta, Me, papers
1T sounds like an engine when it
runs said Dreaming with a voice of
deep disgust. Attached to the watch is
the most frivolous chain that you ever
saw, bead chain with green, blue and
red glass beads.
Dreaming keeps the watch and chain
under lock and key in his desk away
from the ken of men.

because I didn't mean any HARM"
This apologize tone was considered
by the gateman as sign of weakness,
and he shot his right fist out 1t
struck the air. The Kid had side
stepped, and, much to the astonish-
ment of the gatekeeper, he got a blow
in the face that knocked him heels
over head. His cries for assistance
brought four or five other attendants.
AS they rushed at Mccoy he knocked
them down like SO many ninepins.
When they were all in a heap some
one recognized the Kid, and the bellig-
erent bath attendants made humble
apologies, and the innpromptu scrap"
ended.
The spectators were so well pleased
that they offered to take up a purse
for the Kid or give him a compliment
taTy supper, but he declined them
both.
