rank, triumphantly passed the ordeal
of. inspection by the emperor's off,
GERS, and was promptly installed in the
imperial palace among the emperor's
women.
This was in 1913; beautiful, accom-
plished and possessed of consumate
tact and unusal knowledge, Tsu Isl
soon stepped out from among the
throng Of the harem residents into a
separate and distinctive place. Later,
when she presented the emperor with
son and heir to the throne, she rose
still higher in favor.
In 1860, while the boy was still
young, his father died and very soon
the small boy was proclaimed emperor
under the title of Tung Chi, with the
dowager empress and mother empress
appointed co-regents. For many years,
dominating her weak co-regent, Tsu
Isl was absolute ruler of China. Fin
ally her son. Tung Chi, attained his
majority, was duly proclaimed emper-
or, and the regency ended.
Apparently Tsu isis career was
closed. Wise and silent, she drew
back with her sister regent into pri-
vate imperial life. But Tung Chi died,
and his young wife passed away in
childbirth; and the dowager empress
at once again came to the front, pre-
senting to the Chinese people a new
emperor in the person of Kwang Shu,
baby son of a brother of the Emperor
Hsien Fung. 1t is this nephew Of her
dead husband who is now the sick

LUCKY" BALDWIN's END NEAR.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Winnipeg, Man., Aug. Binder the
constant care of physicians, who do
not conceal their belief that his case
is a hopeless one, Elias jackson Bald
win, or Lucky" Baldwin, as he is
known throughout the length and
breadth of America, is living in Sc
clusion at Fort Rogue. He is suffer-
ing from palpitation of the heart and
to see him, because they fear agitation
would be harmful. The aged mans
struggle this time is not for gold, but
for life. For over half century he
and fate have been playing game of
dice. Often the game went against
him, but more frequently he won.
Many years ago, when it was at its
height, thousands of interested per-
sons watched it with fascinated eyes.
1t was romantic, it was picturesque,
like the man himself. Many times fate
stripped him bare and laid his fortune
in ruins at his feet, but with grim
smile he would seize the dice and with
one throw win all back again. But
this time it seems as if he is to lose
forever.
Mr.. Baldwin is now nearly eighty
years old. having been borne in Ohio
in the year 1928. But his picturesque
career has been identified chiefly with
the state of California. 1t was that
state that gave him his first fortune
Then he made another one in Nevada
out of the Comstock. His fortune at
one time was reputed to be $20,OO0,000,
but much of 1t was wasted in un-
profitable ventures.
The greatest medium for the diff
fusion of his name and fame was the
palatial hotel and theatre that he
erected on Market street. San Fran
cisco, at cost of 100000. All the
culture and pride that he had were
centered in that hotel. A few years
after 1t was built he saw it 60 up in
smoke, and as he watched the flames
wrap themselves around it he wept
for the first time to anyone's knowl-
edge.
In later years he spent the most of

Found by an Oil and Gas PrOspector
Near the City
Wellington, Kan, July 26.-The Mail
says:
Robert Pangborn. who is boring the
prospect well for the Sumner Oil. Gas

farm Just southeast of the city, stated
to the editor of the Mail today that in
boring this we'll he found q beautiful
supply Of the very best of water He
says there is enough of this water to
supply a city five times the size of We'll
lineton.
Mr.. PanRborn has a complete record
of every stratum through which he
passed in boring this well. The first
water found was in a stratum of quick
sand. He says this Is the water found
in most If not all, the wells in the
city; but the water is no good because
there is nothing above it-nothing to
prevent all the surface drainage from
aking down into it.
After passing through this quicksand
and water came a stratum of slate five
feet thick Then, at the depth of 80
feet an entirely different stratum Of
sand, pebbles and small boulders was
found. 1t was impossible to work the
drjl in this stratum and the casing was
driven through it and the sand and
pebbles bailed out. This stratum was
five feet thick and was filed with the

This record was not satisfactory 10
the progressive farmers Of Sumner
county Their soil was good and their
farming intelligent. and they We're at a
loss to know why their yields from year
to year were not up to the old pace set
in 1901. when Sumner was the banner
county of the world. Inquiring around
they found their neighbor counties TOO
had dropped off in wheat productlon-
The cause, they were sure. was not IN
the soil and there was no apparent Gil
matte change
The freight department of the Atch-
ison. Topeka & santa Fe railway sug-
gested change of seed, and offered to
furnish the transportation free- me
plan was for the farmers to sell their
homegrown seed to the mills and buy
new from the wheat growers OF west
ern Kansas. Some farmers wanted 10
send to Alberta. Canada, for the new
seed, but the ma joTity thought the orig
inal suggestion to buy seed grown from
the virgin soil of western Kansas was
good enough and it was adopted.
Then the millers stepped in and made
an arrangement by which they took the
old seed and gave in exchange, bushel
for buShel, western seed. The santa e
hauled the new seed to Hutchinson free,
and from there distributed It for NOM
inal charge upon the direction of the
millers, who gave it in exchange for the
old seed. This was in the fall OF 1905.
It was a TRANSMISSION of new blood,
and the effect has been magical. Wher-
ever the new seed was planted, the yield
this season is large The average yield
per acre in the county viii not be
known for some weeks. but the farmers
are we'll satisfied everywhere with the
experiment. Naturally, the AtchisOn,
Topeka & Santa Fe is alike grauhed
with the result That company IS not
in the wheat growing business, but 1t
is In the transportation business. and
Increased wheat crops mean increased
freight receipts.
And the experiment was not tried in
Sumner county only. Similar condi-
tons prevailed in COWley, SedgWick,
Kingman and Pratt counties, where
the railway company made the same
arrangement with the farmers. and the
reports are that the experiment has
been equally profitable. However, the
tale will be better told by Mr.. COburn
when he makes his annual estimate of
the wheat crop of the state.
The Santa Fee shares this year in an
other experiment in a change, or re-
newal, of seed wheat. In Stafford. and
other counties out that way the virility
of the Turkey Red stock of wheat has
been deteriOrating, and in 1904 it was
decided to restore it to its former vigor

and last year q portion of it was car

and reports received by the freight de-
partment of the railway company are
that the stock is better than the

SHE TOOK HAIR TONIC.
An lola Woman Supposed 1t Was a
Nerve Tonic.

A hair tonic taken inwardly is not a
good nerve tonic. as Mrs. L. Renick
now knows. Instead of strengthening
the nerves it came near causing her to
lose her life.
Mrs Remick has been accustomed
to taking a medicine for her nerves.
She also has a hair tonic which she
uses occasionally. yesterday her
nerves seemed to need a stimulant and
she took a dose of what she supposed
to be the nerve tonic. Instead she got
hold of the bottle containing the hair
tonic. It proved to be a good hair
raiser for It made her hair stand ION
end when she learned that she had
taken dose of it inwardly by mistake.
In a few minutes after taking the
medicine she was suddenly made des-
perately sick and an investigation at
once revealed the cause of her illness.
A physician was hurriedly summoned
and he administered an antidote and
she was soon out of danger.-Iola
