NEGROES BARRED FROM KANSAS SCHOOLS
Blacks Sitting With Whites Though Separate Rooms
Had Been Provided for Them.

Bonds were voted to build school
for the negroes, and pending the cree
ton of the structure the board of edu-
cation planned to have two sessions
daily at the white school, that in the
morning for the white children and
that in the afternoon for the negroes.
The negroes objected, prefering to sit
with the whites.
At Bonner Springs the school board
arranged separate rooms for whites
and negroes, but to this the negroes
objected protesting that they should
occupy rooms simultaneously with
the whites.

A LAWSUIT FOR A NICKEL
Illinois Judge and Railroad Are the
Parties in the Case.

Parties in the Case.
Judge Curran of Pekin, Illinois, and
the AtchisOn, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
way are the parties to lawsuit that
''involves a principle; hence, it is
likely to go through every court that
will pay any attention to it. The
Judge ordered a door, which came to
Pekin by freight on the cOmpany's
line. The judge called for his door
several times, but on each occasion
was told that it was not ready for de-
livery. After considerable delay he
sued out writ of reDlevin and got his
property. Then the railroad brought
suit against him for five cents storage
charges on the door, which the judge
refused to pay. The case went into
court, where it now is. The railroad
is employing some of its best lawyers
on the case, and the judge has en-
ployed counsel to look after his inter-
ests, declaring that he will fight the
case to the court of last resort Spite
cases are of frequent occurrence in
this country, but it is seldom that one
so picayunish is brought.

Successful Record in Treating the
Disease. What He Says.

Disease. What He Says.
If the calculations of DR.. J. G. Lee
Hardy, a Savannah physician, prove
correct the yellow fever epidemic in
New Orleans will end about October Is.
He has been through several epidem-
les, and does not give credence to the
stegomyia faciata idea transmission.
DR.. LeHardy does not believe that
methods of treatment have improved,
and he cites his own record showing
that the mortality of the cases treated
bv him was five per cent of the white
cases and three per cent. of the ne
groes. The percentage at New Or
leans is above 10.
"NineUy days is the limit for yellow
fever epidemics, " said, DR.. LeHardy.
Observe and you will see that no
new cases will be reported after the
expiration of that time. "
The malady in New Orleans was pro
nounced yellow fever July q. The fe-
yer had developed a few days prior
to that time, and test of DR.. Lee
Hardy's idea will not be difficult.
DR.. LeHardy is prepared to pounce
on the mosquito idea with great force,
and he has prepared an article for a
medical journal dealing with the fever
from the viewpoint which has resulted
from his study and observation.

KING HEARD CRIES OF "HELP."
Victor Emanuel Rescues Child from
Earthquake F'issure.


A Monteolene, Italy, dispatch says:
King Victor Emanuel arrived here
today and was greeted with cries from
the populace of "help u.s." His mai
esty visited the ruins despite the dan
ger of falling walls. The remains of
the cathedral are threatening to fall
momentarily.
The king went into a subterranean
assure from whence a child, Maria
Antonio Ceccoli, was taken out alive
after being 50 hours under the debris.
Her aunt, who was crying beside the
ruins, thought she heard the voice of
her niece and summoned some soldiers
who, after vigorous efforts, brought
up the child almost dead and carried
her to the hospital, where her cOndi-
ton is critical. The king afterwards
visited other stricken villages.

ARE FINE STOCK FOOD.
Feeding Horses, Mules, Cattle and
Hogs on Cotton Seed Meal
and Hulls.

1t is interesting to note that several
of the largest farmers and stock men
are using cotton seed meal exclusively
in connection with hulls in feeding
their cattle, horses, mules and hogs.
J. j. Wheeler says that his horses eat
the meal and do well on it. He has
instructed his overseer, Mr.. Napier,
to begin educating his mules on the
farm to eat the meal and hulls. He
hopes in this way to eventually be
able to cut down his corn crop and
put the same ground in cotton, put the
money for the lint in his pocket, and
feed the meal and hulls to his cattle,
horses and hogs. Mr.. John Shep-
pard has fed his horses for several
years on meal and hulls, and is very
much pleased with it as a food. j. @.
Adams of Cordele has also had con.
siderable experience in feeding hogs
on this material, and his experience is
that it fattens and grows off young
pigs quicker than any feed with which
he is familiar.-Cordele News.

LOUBET and ALFONSO
MADE TARKET FOR BOMB

Paris, June IAN attempt to assas-
sinate King Alfonso was made at mid
night, as his majesty drove with Presi-
dent Loubet from gala performance
at the Grand Opera House.
A bomb was thrown by an anarchist
and exploded with deadly effect near
the royal carriage. As If by a miracle,
both the king and president escaped
uninjured, but fragments of the mis-
sile seriously injuerd five persons, kill
ed or MANNED a number of cavalry
horses forming the escort, and knocked
out child's eye.
The king and president retained
their presence Of mind, his majesty
sending back member Of his suite to
make inquiries as to the condition Of
the wounded.
The person who is believed to have
thrown the bomb has been arrested,
with two others who are thought to
have been implicated in the plot.
The projectile struck soldier be-
longing to the escort on the shoulder,
and then fell to the ground and explod-
ed without injuring his majesty or the
president.
Several soldiers Of the escort were
thrown from their horses and injured,
while fragments of the bomb struck q

PUBLIC Wins GAS Fight
in CITY OF PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia, May 29.-After a con.
test lasting five days the Republican
Organization" led by Insurance Com.
missioner Israel Durham has been
forced by public opposition and clamor
to abandon its efforts to extend the
lease of the city gas works to the Unit
ed Gas Improvement Company for rs
years. Thomas Dolan, president of the
company has forwarded formal let
ter to the presidents Of the select and
common branches Of the city council
withdrawing his propositio to advance
the city $25, 900, 900 in consideration
of the extension Of the lease which the
company holds. This action was taken
after a protracted conference with
Commissioner Durham, State Senator
McNichol and Select Councilman G..
s. Eyer, who presented the gas lease
resolutions in the councils.
The Withdrawal of the Improvement
company's offer is undoubtedly sig
nal victory for Mayor Weaver in his
fight against the Organization, -
though it does not mean the end of the
fight. The injunction cases against the
mayor restraining his removal of GER
tain city officials are still pending.
Mayor Weaver says he considers the
action of the improvement company
a great victory for the people. Gen
eral satisfaction is expressed with the
turn affairs have taken.

type closes itself. Some of these in
stallations are placed. on posts like
the fire-alarm boxes in such general
use, and others are simply secured to

It Is anticipated that In some cities
there will be objection raised to plac-
ing more of these posts on the streets
and in such cases it is proposed to
permit the use Of the telephone for fire

gency uses. Such service will be rem

that this arrangement will be readily
entered into by the municipal authori-

ming over any property owners who
may object to the presence of the ap-

Washington, May 31.-That an oral
viii is valid under the laws Of the
state Of Washington has been decided
BY the supreme court Of the United
States. The case in which this deci-
sion was reached was that of Hannah
O'Connor and Edward Corcorau against
Terrence O. Brien, administrator Of the
estate Of John Sullivan, Marie Carrau,
William Russell and s. F. Coombs.
Sullivan, who resided in Seattle and
owned an estate valued at more than
half million dollars, died September
26, 1900, four days before the date Of
his marriage to Marie Carrau. On the
night before his death he called in sew
ervsl persons and requested them to
witness that he devised all his property
to Miss M. Carrau. Sullivan's declar-
alton was offered for probate in King
county in the shape of noncupative
will, witnessed properly and admitted.
Its validity was attacked by the plain
tiffs, who were the nearest relatives Of
Sullivan, and resided in Ireland. The
Washington state courts all upheld
the will, but Judge Hanford, Of the
federal court enjoined the proceedings
and from his decision an appeal was
taken to the federal supreme court,
which overruled Judge Hanford and
upheld the action of the state courts.

Enough r0iSfure Now In Ground
to nature the Crop-Acreaae
Larger Than Last Year.

Seattle, May 31.-The Post Intelli-
gencer this morning publishes a sym.
postum on the grain prospects for 1905.
given by prominent people residing in
different sections Of the wheat belt of
Eastern Washington. Letters have
been resolved from farmers. mer-
chants, bankers and representative cit
liens interested in the harvest. The
ninety mine interviews published cover
every important district in eleven
counties where wheat is one of the
Leading cereals. Every writer predicts
q banner crop.
In some sections the acreage planted
to wheat is larger this year than ever
before. More Of the new land has been
plowed and put under cultivation. The
general estimate of the entire wheat
producing section is that the acreage
Is much more than last year. In new
localities it reaches IS per cent of the
increase. Older districts report an
increase Of from to 10 per cent over
previous seasons. Unless conditions
change in the next few weeks the in
dications are that the crop will be the
largest ever harvested in the state.
Spring rains have benefited the
farmers of the wheat districts. The
soil is supplied with sufficient moisture
to mature and ripen the grain. That
removes practically all doubts as to
the future Of the. crop. The yield
might be reduced id some localities by
hot winds or other changes in. the
weather conditions. Growers have
confidence in the seasons and are pre-
pared to harvest the largest yield ever
taken from the wheat fields of Eastern
Washington.

MUCH PROPERTY INVOLVED
IN GRUBSTAkE DECISION

Seattle, May 29.-A recent decision
in the superior court of Spokane coun-
ty gives to Worthington Belden. Of Sc
attic, and John Firch half interest in
three coal and iron companies in the
Nicola coal region. The suit was
brought by these men against s. An
drew Hartman, whom they grubstaked
some time ago and sent out prospect
ing. The agreement under which Hart
man undertook the work was that he
should have half of what he located
and that the men supplying him with
the means of conducting the enterprise
should have the other half.
Hartman's trip into the Nicola re-
gion resulted in the finding Of two
claims, according to his report to Bel.
den and Erich. These he divided as
per agreement. It was later discovered
that while prospecting for these claims
he discovered several others, which he
had not mentioned to the other parties
to the contract.
Injunctions were at once Issued en-
joining Hartman against disposing Of
any of the property, and the case went
to court. Proof was secured showing
that at the time the contract was
drawn up between the parties Hartman
had no coal lands, and that three cor
poratiOns in which he was later inter-
ested involved coal lands which were
secured while working under the agree
ment with Belden and Firch. Over
$40, 900 in stock had been sold from
one of the companies alone.
The court appointed Horace KimbaH
referee to take the accounting. The
stock involved is tied up and will be
divided between the parties. Various
other groups Of coal claims not yet in
,orporated will also be divided under
the same direction.
The case decided involved the fol-
lowing incorporatedcompanies: West
ern Coal and Iron Company, OF Taco
ma; the Nicola Coal and Coke Compa-
Inv. and the British Columbia Coal
Company. Their aggregate value is
many thousands Of dollars.
