HAS SO MILE LEAD.
Deutschland Is Ahead of La Provence
in Ocean Race.

New York, July 3.-On her voyage
from Antwerp and Dover. the steamer
Kroonland which arrived In port this
morning established communication by
wireless telegraph with the steamers
Deutschland and La Provence which left
New York last Thursday about the
same hour and are reported to be racing
to Lizard Head. England. The captain
of the Deutschland with which the
Kroonland came in communication first,
reported that his ship was leading La
Provence by 50 miles Later the Kroon-
land receiv i signals from the French
steamer whose captain reported that he
was gaining on his German rival
Neither vessel gave its position, but the
Kroonlafd was south OF Cape Race,
Newfoundland. 1t was last Friday that
the Kroonland received the wireless
messages. The two swift steamers are
now close to the finishing point Of their

more interested in the prosperity and
growth of Topeka than / am and for
that reason made the price on the
property in question what I did.
Il have been selling lots adjoining this
piece Of property which the Santa Fe
desires at $500 and $z25 a lot which
would make the acreage value 50. 600 and
over Lots further east Of the property
I am holding are selling at $3.50 a lot
And so when the Santa F'e opened ne
gotiations for the property fixed a
value on it of $3.50 an acre. You can
see that the land Is worth more to me
than that but I fixed this low price be-
cause the company wanted such a large
tract, nine acres, and because l. with
the other people Of Topeka, am anxious
to see the Santa Fe shops enlarged. and
I consider the price fixed a generous
one ] did not fix this price until after
had talked with many Of the prominent
business men of the city ana all Of them
agreed with me that the price was most
fair and equitable under the circum-
stances.
There is little in this talk that the
Santa F'e has purchased all kinds Of
property there as a cheaper figure Why
last fall Mr.. Hurley bought four lots
from me between the tract ia question
ana the shops and paid S225 q lot for
them. AS a matter Of fact the property
in question is more valuable for home
sites for shoprnen than those lots L sold
for they are further removed from the
smoke and dirt from the shops As /
said I have been selling lots for home
sites right adjoining the land in ques-
ton for $500 and 1925 lot and as there
are ten lots in an acre, [ thought I was
placed the price Of the nine acres want
ed at 81 800 an acre -

ENGINE Runaway
Great Excitement at Rock Is
land Shops This Morning.
Big Machine Gets Beyond Con-
trol of Engineer.
FLY WHEEL BURSTS.
Four Men Seriously Hurt by
Flying Pieces.
Engine House Wrecked and Ma

FLY WHEEL BURSTS.

Horton, Kas., July S.-Four men
We're injured severely this morning
through the running away Of the big
engine which helps to operate the ma
ehinery in the Rock Island shops
here, which resulted in the tearing
up of the machinery in the sawmil
and the bursting OF the lotion f1y-
wheel in the engine house.
Those injured were William Fuller.
James Holden, James Delaney and
William Busenbarrfck, all employees
in the sawmiIl. They were bruised
all over their bodies by pieces of fly
ing machinery and some of them sus-
tained broken bones. They were re-
moved to the city hospital and after
a thorough examination had been
made by the doctors it was an
nounced that none of them had sus-
tained fatal Injuries.
1t was just after the work in the
shops had started for the day that the
accident occurred. The governor on
the big engine failed to work and it
ran away. At the time II was being
used to run the machinery in the saw
mill and In a few minutes after the
chinery in the mill began to whirl
around at terrific speed. and before
the men in the mill could shift the
belts to stop the individual pieces of
machinery several of them few apart
and practically wrecked the place.
The large hywheel in the engine
house. which weighed nearly ten tons.
got to revolving SO fast that it burst
and pieces Of It tore their way through
the heavy brick walls OF the house,
and practically demolished it.
Mike Shonessy, the engineer had
stepped out OF the house just before
the f1ywheel burst. and to this fact he
probably owes his life, for he surely
would have been killed had he been
there when the wheel went to pieces
It is likely that the accident will
keep most Of the shops closed for ten
days. until the damage done can be
reDafred.

ONE GREAT SIGH
Went Up When st. michaels
Church Tower Fell.
Pride of Hamburg Totally De-
strOyed by Fire.

Hamburg, July 3.-The great church
of st. Michael, with its tower and spire
426 feet high, was totally destroyed BY
FIRE. The tower in falling, crushed sew
eral neighboring houses and they caught
fire.
-Four workmen who were repairing
the church were killed.
The fire probably originated from de-
fective electric connections. When the
tower fell the many thousands OF spec
tators uttered involuntary cries that
together, sounded like a vast sigh.
The flames then blew up f1ercely and
began to spread to adjoining houses.
The fire department finally succeeded in
obtaining control of the flames.
The church was one of the cityss OBJ
jects OF pride. It was largely OF brick
and was erected on the site OF the an
cient church that was burned in 1850
as the result of being struck BY light

ANOTHER WELCOME DAY.
Breeze From the North Keeps the
Temperature Down.

When the day dawned a real cool
breeze was blowing from the north
and it has continued all day. Early in
the morning banks OF threatening
clouds gathered in the east and shut
out the sunlight for a couple Of hours,
but they did not develop into storm
clouds and the wind blew them away
so that by ten o'clock the sun was
shining good and strong and the tenn
perature increased percepubly. But at
no time during the day was the heat
oppressive because of the breeze and
the indications are that the weather to-
morrow win be just as hne as it has
been during yesterday and today.
