Exports from the United States to
Cuba in the eight months ending with
February, 1905. amount to $24,126,-

the history of our trade with Cuba.
Compared with the corresponding
period OF last year they show an in

show an increase OF only 16 per cent.
The statement of trade with Cuba

FOR TRACK ATHLETICS.
Representatives of Kansas Colleges
Are Here Today.

An organization to promote track
athletics will be effected this afternoon
on the part of representatives from the
four leading UNCONVENTIONAL colleges
in the state. The colleges to be repre-
scented at the meeting this afternoon
are Washburn, College of Emporia,
Baker and Ottawa. The place for the
first annual meet will also be decided
upon. Both Topeka and Ottawa are
contesting for that honor. The meet
ing is being held at the Copeland
hotel.
This is the first attempt on a large
scale to create an interest in track
athletics in the colleges of the state.
There have been no annual meets
aside from those held at the State uni
versity in which other institutions
were represented and as a result track
athletics in Kansas has been a branch
of the least interest and importance
in the events Of an athletic nature
which the colleges have pulled off. Of
late this state of affairs has been grad
ually but surely undergoing a change
and track athletics has forced its way
towards the front

HEFF WINS HIS CASE.
Writ of Habeas Corpus Granted by
United States Supreme Court.

Washington, April 10.-The su-
preme court of the United States in an
opinion by Justice Brewer granted the
petition fAlbert Hen. of Kansas, for
writ of habeas corpus. Hen was
prosecuted and convicted in the dis
trict court of Kansas for selling beer
at the town of Horton to Kickapoo
Indian named John Butler. to whom
land had been granted in severaIty.
The prosecution was based uDon the
theory that Butler was still a ward of
the nation, the law prohibiting the
sale of liquors to Indians. The case
was brought to the supreme court in
an original action, on the ground that
in becoming an allOttees the Indian
became a citizen of the United States.
This view was sustained by today S
opinion which concluded as follows:
I'VE are of the opinion that when
the United States grants the privileges
of citizenship to an Indian, gives to
him the benefit Of and requires him to
be subject to the laws, both civil and
criminal of the state, it places him out
side the reach of police regulations on
the part of congress; that the enamel
patton from federal control thus
created can not be set aside at the in
stance of the government without the
consent of the individual Indian and
the state"

GET THEIR FIRST PAY.
Brooks & Gilmore Draw s19,5OO for
Sewer Work.

Brooks & Gilmore this morning re-
ceived their first regular installment
of money in payment for the Fifth
ward sewer job, their check calling
for the neat sum of $19,5O0. They
have been unable to draw any large
amount before owing to the delay in
selling the sewer bonds. The bonds
have now been sold, and the money
is ready for the contractors as fast
as they earn It.
About $4,000 which was paid in
cash by property holders as full set
Element for their sewer tax, has pre-
viousiy been turned over to the con-
tractors.
The big steam excavator which is
being used to dig the sewer made
record for fast work Saturday. In
ten hours work it excavated $50 feet
of sewer, or something over a block
The sewer is 81 inches wide and from
10 to II feet deep. This means that
the machine moved about $1,000
cubic feet of dirt.
In accordance with the orders Of
City Engineer McCabe, the people who
own the steam excavator have put a
spark arrester on their engine, to pre-
vent further fires from sparks. The
spark arrester has steam jet attach
ment SO that the sparks are extin-

largest earlier year. it is quite apparent
that the total for the year 1905 will
materially exceed that of any preced-
ing year.
The year Of the largest importation
from Cuba was 1874. when the total
value of merchandise imported from
that island was sS5,42S.O97 The total
for the fiscal year 1904 was $685.
418, and as the figures for the eight
months Of the present year were but
IS per cent in excess of those of the
corresponding months of last year, it
seems scarcely likely that the total for
the fiscal year viii reach the high
water mark of 1874. though there can
be no doubt that the exports to the
island in 1895 viii materially exceed
the record of any earlier year.
Comparing the eight months period
of the two fiscal years, -four increase
from 4 million dollars in 1904 to 2
millions in 1905; cattle. from 979
thousand dollars to 1897 thousands;
lumber, from TAG thousands to 987
thousands; corn, from 461 thousands
to 629 thousands; cotton cloths, from
2O2 thousand dollars to 487 thou
sands; cars and carriages, from 299
thousand dollars to 352 thousands;
furniture. from 268 thousand dollars
to 344 thousands; builders hardware,
from 253 thousand dollars to 3O6
thousands; bacon, from 212 thousand
to 800 thousand dollars; mineral oils,
from 1S1 thousand to 259 thousand
dollars. Books and maps increased in
expectation from so thousand dollars
in the first eight months of 1904 to
151 thousands in the corresponding
months Of the present year; fruits and
nuts, from Ga thousand to 1912 thou
sand dollars; while manufactured cot
ton other than cloths, agricultural i'm
plements, sewing machines, locOmo-
tives. eotton-seed oil. naval stores.
electrical machinery. bicycles, and
other articles also show a marked
increase.
On the import side the chief in
crease is in sugar, the importations of
which during the eight months in
question amount to $29,84S,O42, as
against $24,666,517 in the same
months of 1904, an increase of $751;
525. while the entire increase in i'm
ports from Cuba during the same
period is but s6,O30,299.

WILL GET THE MONEY.
Obstacle in Way of Third Street
Opening Removed.

T. J. Anderson, James Cuthbert, W
Thompson and several other people who
live out in the vicinity of Third and
Fillmore, have arranged with Mayor
Davis and other city officials to pay in
to the city treasury the sum of $3.50
to be used to pay off a claim which is
standing in the way of the opening of
Third street. The owner of the proper
ty which has been condemned refuses
to allow the street to be opened until
the money is all paid over to him. and
it may take some time to complete the
collection Of the tax. The residents in
that vicinity will therefore advance the
money, SO that the street may be open
ed at once.
The reason for the hurry is so that
the city railroad can complete the ex-
tension of its track out Third street
The people living there are afraid that
unless the railway company is allowed
to build its extension now it will for
get all about building it later on, when
the street would be finally opened to
traffic

She stole away from the side of her
mother and father to join Henry, and
together they wandered over to Goat
Island and down to the very brink Of
the majestic falls.
In front of them raced the mad wa
tiers as they prepared to take the awful
plunge, and from the misty, boiling
depths there arose a continuous sound
like thunder in the grim mountains
It was time for awe, and both felt
it. The man with the popcorn, and the
squaw with the beadwork passed I'M
noticed. Even when Uncle Reuben and
his wife came along and figured on
how many sawmills the water would
turn the young folks stin felt them
selves wrapt in the mantle of the
mighty mystery.
BY and by he spoke. The roar drown
ed his voice, but she saw his lips move,
and she cuddled up to him and put her
hand in his and nodded her head to
signify that she was his'n for better or
for worse. What he had tried to say
to her was that if a hog were to be
caught in that mad race of waters his
bristles conuldn't save him from going
over the falls, but she had promptly
taken it as proposal and accepted it,
and he knew he couldn't back out with
haps getting mixed up in a breach of
promise suit.
IT'S thus that awe and mystery and
mighty cataracts and innocent maidens
get in their villainous work, and yet
some folks wonder that husbands get
up from their beds at midnight and arm
themselves with croWbars and turn
loose and slay and kill and then plead
temporary insanity in court.

WHERE IS THE WATCH?
One Taken From w. F. Kunz Has Now
Disappeared.

The watch taken from w. F. Kunz,
when he was assaulted and left for dead
by Heck and Croft, and which was to
be used as an important exhibit in the
trial Of the two men in the district
court Thursday, has been lost.
Detective Josiah Ross, of the police
force, found the watch in an clubhouse
in the yard of the house where Grof
went to see his sweetheart after the as
sault. The watch was taken from KunE
and it is known that Croft visited the
place where the watch was found after
the assault. The watch was valuable
exhibit in the evidence but now no one
knows where the watch is.
Detective Ross says that he gave the
watch to County Attorney Hungate,
along with other exhibits. Hungate
says he never had the watch. He has
the chain and the charm, which were
attached to the watch but he is quite
sure he has not had the watch in his
possession. Ross is equally as certain
that he gave the watch, chain and
charm to Hungate.
Perhaps before the trial on Thursday
the watch may be discovered in some
of the archives in the Office of the coun-
ty attorney.

HE FINDS A FLAW.
lola Attorney Points Out Defects in
nti-Discrimination Measure.

An lola attorney claims to have discov-
cred a defect in the anti-discrinination
law passed by the recent legislature to
help knock out the Standard Oil company.
The alleged defect is In the penalty clause
from the penalty shall go to the state
school fund. There is a constitutional pro
vision which says that money collected in
fines shall be applied to the benefit of the
school funds in the county in which the
fine is collected, so that the penalty clause
of the anti-discrimination bill seems to be
unconstitutional.
The clause, after stating what the fine
shall be- says: "All sums collected under
this act shall be credited to the permanent
school fund in the state of Kansas"
The constitutional provision is as fol-
lows: THE proceeds of fines for any
breach of the penal laws shall be exclu-
sively applied in the several counties in
which the money is paid or fines collect
ed to the support of the common schools. )"
What effect this will have on the law as
a whole is not known. It may have no eff
feet at all except on the application to be
made of the fines.

FIRE IN THEATER.
Starts From Appliances of a Moving
Picture Show.

strong, II years old, was fatally injured
and a score of persons severely burned
last night during fire in the Sipe the
alter which was caused by the ignition
of d roll of celluloid films used in op-
Grating a moving picture machine. In
the panic that followed Armstrong
jumped through window in the third
floor and was fatally injured. A moving
picture show was in progress and dur
ing the intermission bag Of cellulOid
film, suspended over the balcony railing,
was ignited by an electric light. The
machine operator threw the audience
into a panic and started & rush for the
fire escapes and exits by cry Of
Lookout, everybody, the theater is
afire"
In an instant about 900 people became
a crushing, rushing mass of humanity
That more were not hurt is largely due
to the excellent system of fire escapes
and exits in the theater, and the deport-
ment of the house employees. Young
Armstrong occupied a seat in the gal
lery and at the warning cry of the ma
chine operator, broke a plateglass win
dow and jumped to the sidewalk, a. dis
lance for forty feet. He is still uncon-
scious, both legs are broken and he is
internally injured.
Mrs. Bert aJeObs was SO affected by
the shock as to require the attention of
physicians for more than two hours
Her condition is serious.
Vance Hunt was badly burned by the
flaming films. Several others were Sc
verely burned. The theater is damaged
only by smoke.
