Commissioner Winch, who arrived the
day previous. He was very busy, but
stopped to talk with Mr.. Bruce when

Does it appear that Mr.. Hamilton

There has been strange work,

seems to have gone all right; but

What do you mean, Mr.. Winch?"
Simply this 1t developed this
morning that previous to the TWEEN
ty-eighth of May, Hamilton altered
note payable to this bank, making the
amount five thousand instead OF five
hundred, and deposited the note with
the First National Bank of Boston, as
collateral for money. Whether he
has done so in more than this in

"Of course Hamilton's bondsmen

Yes, they have signifed their read

There must be a foul conspiracy

Looked at now, it is as clear a case
Of dishonesty as l ever knew. Still,
recollecting himself, "a new phase OF
the matter may arise any moment.
Anything look like completely on the
part Of Osborn?"
No: the president found a letter
under his door this morning, without
any postmark. 1t relates to Osborn,

The Laws OF Nature.

The universe is under the reign of
law, which is everywhere-in things
mean and minute as we'll as in things
come into an understanding Of these
laws we have found none defective.
No sound philosophy can concede
that law of nature can be out of bal
ance Or in any way less than true and
perfect When we advance a theory to
the point where it would prove that
law of nature is out of balance and de-
fective, we should know that the con-
clusion is wrong; that it is our reason
ing, and not the law, that is out Of
balance and defective.-From "Bal:

The local newspaper should be found
in every home. No children should be
brought up ignorant who can be brought
to appreciate home papers. 1t is said to
be the stepping stone to intelligence in
all those matters not to be found in
books. Give your children foreign pa
per with not one word about any per-
son, place or thing that they ever saw or
perhaps heard of, and how do you ex-
pect them to be interested? But let
them read the home paper and hear of
people whom they meet and of places
with which they are familiar and soon
an interest is awakened which increases
with the arrival of every local paper.
Thus reading habit is formed, and
those children will read the papers all
their lives, and become intelligent men
and women, credit to their ancestors
and strong in the knowledge of the world
as it is today.-Ex.

ward through the grounds to the road
leading to the wagon bridge over the
Kansas river at the brick yards one
of the most picturesque drives about the
city would be established.
The grounds are almost perfectly
level and little grading if any need be
done in order to place them in an at
tractive shape.
The trees are there, too many in fact.
and all that would be needed would
be the construction of driveways, plant
ing of blue grass and the setting out of
flower beds.
1T is my idea that now since the wa
terwor5s is owned by the people Of To-
peka they are interested in knowing
what it looks like said c. b. Jewell Of
the board of trustees.
'It is their property and they have
helped pay for 1t. I believe that we
should have a driveway to the plant
which would make it accessible and
bring the people out to and past the
plant on their pleasure drives.
I'VE have had considerable difficulty
in securing a suitable road from the
plant to Sixth avenue. In fact we
haven't got a road yet except the one
which leads up back Of the asylum
buildings and no one wants to use this
drive for pleasure purposes. What we
have been trying to get is a drive right
straight south of the plant to the
Sixth avenue road. The trouble is
through the states property and they
are not willing now to let US go
through. We may be able to get
through a little west on the property
line. This viii make a rougher road
but it viii really be better than the one
we are now using.
THE grounds of the plant ought to
be attended to and we are trying to get
some sort of arrangements perfected
for fixing them up. I believe one of
the prettiest drives in and about To
peka could be made by bringing this
roadway from Sixth avenue down to
the plant and then continuing it west
ward through the grounds to the river
bridge which went out in that big flood
but which viii be fixed UP. People
could make the entire circle that way
from the south side to the north side
of the river. Other cities surround
their waterworks stations with beau
tifui grounds and we certainly should
do the same It would not cost much
and little money expended each year
would help immensely We would
have to receive the support of the
council though in this and I don't
know how they feel"

SHE'LL HAVE CHORUS.
Alice Nielsen to Be Given Real Grand
Opera Surroundings.

Kansas City, Dec. 14.-"When Alice
Nielsen sings Don Pasquale' in San
francisco she viii be supported by a
full chorus and a full orchestra. The
fair attitude of the American press to
our grievances against the Shuberts
have strengthened my determination to
get a square deal for Miss Nielsen and
the Shuberts have agreed to stage the
opera in San Francisco in an adequate
way"
Henry Russell made this statement
yesterday at the Baltimore hotel. When
Miss Nielsen was last in Kansas City
Mr.. Russell alleged that the Shuberts
were staging the opera badly and
sh owing atpOOr towns in order to dis
hearten Miss Nielsen and force her
back into comic opera. In New York
they had asked him to cancel the ex-
listing contracts and make a new one
for tour in light opera. But Mr..
Russell had refused. According to him
planning of a tour that was, pre-
sumably, doomed to failure from the
start.
Yesterday morning a man in posi-
ton to know the facts stated that, up
to the present, the Shuberts have lost
between $4,000 and $4,000 on the
tour. Profits had been made in Kan
sas City, Topeka and st. Louis, but in
almost every other instance the per-
formances showed a loss.

ing Miss Nielsen" it was said. mo
one ever heard of a. comic opera star
returning to the country where her
reputation had been made and then
succeeding in grand opera or on the
concert platform
Miss Nielsen and Henry Russell
laughed at the statement OF loss and its
alleged cause.
II do not want to complain" Miss
Nielsen said, because people are in
clined to think little of the grumbIings
of operate stars. They look upon it
is a privilege that is taken full ad-
vantage of. But a woman who sings
grand opera must take care of her
voice and her physical condition and
my experience has been one of elabor-
ated comfort. Since leaving here I have
been, among other place, to Wichita,
Junction City, Arkansas City, Emporia
and Topeka. One night I had to stand
for an hour and half in an accommo-
dation car clinging to a hand strap;
another night some man had seized
my stateroom and had to wait over
an hour until he was argued out of it.
