NO ACTION TAKEN.
Trial of DIR. Fisk, Christian Scientist,
EizzIes Out.

The white winged dove of peace
has evidently tapped his pinions over
the First Church of Christian Science
at the corner of Huntoon and Polk
streets. The proposed trial of its first
reader, DR.. W. C. Fisk, c. S. D., set
for last night proved to be consider
able of a hzzle. The meeting was
held, a little talk and handshaking in
dulged in, and adjournment taken.
Some talk was made of holding an
other meeting for the purpose of
really having a trial, but nothing
definite was done along this line.
The row in the church is about three
months old. 1t began at the first OF
the year, when Dr. Fisk left the
church with a number of his friends
and started another church at the
corner of Topeka avenue and Seventh
street, where they have been holding
meetings ever since. Another faction
still another had gatherings some
where else. Just what the charges
were against DR.. Fisk have evidently
never come to light. He and his
friends subscribe them to Jealousy
One of F'isk's students said this morn
Every healer and reader has stu.
dents. / think that the trouble has
been between the students as much as
anything else. Fisk is the only man
here who had a c. s. d. degree and
some of the students of other healers
We're Jealous"
DR.. Fisk was asked to make a state
ment but blankly refused, curtly say
ing that he knew nothing about the
matter. 81 was at the meeting about
ten minutes last night he said to-
day Il didn't stay long. They did
nothing"
.'What about the charges preferred
what do I care about charges -
was the reply. "sI do not care a thing
about them at all. They don't amount
to anything
What are you going to do. about
it ?'' was asked.
''Do about it?" he stormed in an
swer do about it? Why I'll do.
nothing about it. I don't care what is
done The church is only a small
concern anyway of just a few mem
bers 1t makes no difference to me
whether they put me back or not
There is nothing in it for me- 1t is
to me-
With that he concluded the inter
view.
Some of the members of the church
speak of DR. Fisk and several of the
members as being under temporary
IT Is generally agreed,
however, that nothing more will com
of the matter. The church has
grown sick of the fuss and it is very
likely that the olive branch will be
passed around shortly, Dr. Fisk re-
turned to the church as first reader.
and the entire affair closed

MORGAN PICTURE CoPxq
NEiIwaukeean Has Old Canvas Pro
nounced an Original.

Milwaukee. March 25.-Was ].
Pierpont Morgan the victim of de-
ception, conscious or otherwise, in his
purchase of a Gainsborough painting,
and is the original in the possession
of a, Milwaukeean? This is the ques-
ton that is agitating art circles here.
The Milwaukee picture has been pro-
nounced a genuine Gainsborough, and
If this is the case Mr.. Morgan's pic
ture, for which he paid a big price,
must be a duplicate.
The picture in question is a portrait
of King Louis XIV of France. The
artists signature has been worn away.
The canvas was bought by the Mil
waukeen thirty-three years ago for a
small price from an old French inn
migrant. According to his story, the
picture was cut from its frame during
the French revolution and passed
from hand to hand through Canada
until it reached Milwaukee.

SELL TO PUBLIC.
Bonds for Branch Penitentiary Have
Reen Advertised

The bonds for the branch penitentiary
and state refinery at Peru have been
Autographed, and Treasurer Kelly and
Warden Jewett are advertising to sell
them to the public. They are issued in
denominations of 81 900. as that is what
the law provides, and the total issue is
$210 000
state bonds ought to bring a good
premium, and they will doubtless do so
If sold to banks and brokers as conteTn-
plated. At the same time, it would be
better to sell them to the state school
fund at par. Then the state would sim
ply pay interest to itself The school
fund commissioners complain that they
cannot get bonds enough to keep the
school fund invested without allowing
coupons to be clipped. Here is q. chance
to invest in the states own bonds and
it is proposed to let the opportunity go
by.
will be a good advertisement for the
state to show how eager the public IS
to invest in the bonds, but it would be a
better advertisement to be able to say
that all the states bonds are held by
itself and not by SPECTATORS or private
investors. 1t is a better thing for the
state to borrow money from itself ana
not from private individuals.
Spectators and investors are eager
to get hold of the state bonds and offers
are constantly coming in for them. A
Wichita bank offered to take the entire
issue, and a Hutchinson bank wanted
100000 of them.
1t is proposed to receive bids for the
bonds up to March 81 at the state
treasurer's office. The bonds are dated
April /. The advertisement Offering the
bonds for sale is as follows:
In compliance with the provisions OF
senate bill No. 30. approved February
II. 1905. We the undersigned, officers Of
the state of Kansas, hereby offer for
sale the branch penitentiary bonds OF
the state of Kansas, in denominations Of
81 .OOo dated April 1, 1905, due April 1.
1915. optional April 1, 1910, bearing per
cent interest, payable semi-annuaily.
The aggregate issue is 100000
''Sealed bids for any or all of said
bonds. accompanied by certified checks
in the sum of $1,000, will be received at
the state treasurer's office, Topeka,
Kansas, until March 81, 1905. Bids less
than par will not be considered.
eff any bidder, upon acceptance of
his bid shall fail within ten days after
March 81 1905, to take the bonds pur-
chased by him and pay for the same,
the amount deposited shall be forfeited
to the state.

Union Pacific and Santa Fe Have
Difficulties

The heavy railroad fills Of the Union
Pacific railroad and also those of the
Santa Fe upon the north side are caus-
ing a great deal of trouble to the resi-
dents east Of the tracks. Water collects
after each rainfall in the bottoms and is
banked up by the embankment of the
railroads. AS a consequence it fails to
drain off and stands in pools. An effort
is being made to have the railroad cut
culverts through on Kious and Say
well streets. This morning the street
commissioner went over with gang of
workmen and alleviated the situation
somewhat by draining some of the wa
ter into large cut which the railroad
had made. This took the water off
from some of the streets.

MUST PAY THE LOSS.
Company Held Liable for
Robbery on Board.

New York, March 25.-That the
Atlantic Transport company must pay
to Mrs. Francis M. Barnes $6,9SS to
reimburse her for the value of jewels
which she alleged were stolen from
her stateroom on board the steamship
hinnetonka has been decided by
United States Commissioner Herbert
Green.
The decision will be reviewed by
Judge Adams of the United States
court, who however has already de-
clared that the steamship company
is liable Mrs Barnes alleged that
while crossing the ocean on the Min
netonka last November, a man dressed
in the uniform of ships steward
burst into her stateroom, snatched a.
bag containing the jewelry, and disap-
peared.
The Atlantic Transport company
contended that the form of ticket
bought by Mrs. Barnes exempted
them for liability for loss arising from
theft.
