HUGHES TO PAY IT.
He WIN Distribute Fund For the Kan
sas Soldiers.

Letters from former members Of the
Twentieth. Twenty-first and Twenty
second Kansas regiments, in service
during the Spanish war, are pouring
in to the office Of Governor Hoch and
Adjutant General Hughes, asking for
a piece of the 100000 back pay money
which has just been awarded by ths
government to the Kansas troops
Governor Hoch has decided to turn
over the management of the fund to
Adjutant General Hughes. Inc law
prohibits the placing of this $40, 900
i'm the state treasury, so It must be
handled by some of the other depart
ments.
General Hughes, acting under the
suggestion of the governor has pre-
pared a circular letter which he Is
sending out in response to all the ques~
tons which are being received about
the fund. This letter is as follows.
Dear Sir. Your letter making inquiry
for the pay which has been recently aP-
propriated by the general government for
your services from time of enlistment I'M

The distribution of this money involves
an immense amount of clerical work, con-
sisting Of copy of the rolls of each reg
iment, containing $500 names, each man

printed, and blanks giving full informa-

days, rank at time Of enlistment and the

The amount which each of the pri-
Yates will get out of this distribution
of cash will be only IS or $40. The
officers viii receive more in proportion
to their rank. As a matter of fact, this
is simply double pay. The member:
Of the three Kansas regiments have
already received pay from the govern
ment for their services from the time
of enlistment until received into tht
army Of the United States, which this
$4,000 is supposed to cover But Il
happened that some of the states paid
their soldiers out of state funds FOL
that period of time. Then the states
asked the government to reimburse
them FOR this sum, and the govern
1uenf proceeded to pay the soldiers g
second time. Having done this with
some of the states, the government
feels that 1t ought to give a square dea
10 all, and pay everybody alike. Hence
the Kansas soldiers will get another
slice of public money.

Throw Away the Dish Rag.

the sweetness of springtime. A very

Henry Russell, who, with his wife, was
sent to the penitentiary from this city
about three weeks ago for abusing 3
year-old girl, met with an accident in
the planning mill of the institution Tues
day which has made the amputation OF
two fingers from the left hand necessary,
and it is possible that he will lose an
other one. Russell has been working in
the furniture factory since his arrival.
He has been extremely careless while
working about the machines and has
earned the hatred of his convict compan-
ions on this account and for the reason
that they have learned why he was sen
fenced. When the accident occurred they
not only did not show MIN any sympa-

KEENE STABLE HAS
ANOTHER WINNER

The trainers at Saratoga are predicting
that a maiden" will win the Futurity
next Saturday. The colt that they believe
will win is Zambesi, a chestnut colt, by
Commando-Rhod He is owned by
James r. Keene.
Zambesi has never started In a race,
but he has shown marvellous speed In his
private trials. Early In the spring he was
not regarded as a stake colt OF high
promise, and his stable mates, Superman,
Ballot, Peter Pan, Grimaldi and Pope
Joan were considered 10 he his superiors.
Until the last week the men who share
the stable secrets OF James II. Keene and
James Rowe thought that Grimald was
the real champion OF the lot for he had
easily beaten his mates in workouts. But
this colt has proved I'm his two efforts
here. that he is Morning Glory" and
not OF sufficient class 10 win a race of
this kind. He IS a speedy youngster. but
that is all that can be favorably said or
him.
Zambesi will go 10 the post an unknown
quantity except 10 his trainer There Is
not a race in which he may start between
now and Futur1ty day. He is such
steady, reliable colt I'm his work that
Rowe believes he will not need any fur
ther education. He is willing 10 send him
TO the post a maiden so as TO get the ben
eft OF the weight allowance.
II Zambesi races up 10 his work there
is no colt that has chance to beat him.
He has a marvellous turn OF speed and is
credited with a five-furlong dash In 100
and six furlongs in 1913
Mr. Keene will depend on Peter Pan,
Zambesi and Pope Joan. and they are the
ones that will carry his white with blue
colors.
