III LOOKS LIKE A STEAL
INTEREST COUPONS IN STATE
TREASURY TABIPERED WITH
aState Property Stamp Erased From
Back OF COupOns-PubIiegs 81
port Soon.

Topeka, Jan I'D. G. Morris, who
has recently completed his examina-
ton Of the state treasury for Haskins
& Sells, has made the sensational dis
cOvery, according to a report in cir
culatiOn today, that the state prop
erty'' stamp has been erased from the
backs Of lot Of the interest coupons
owned by the state school fund
Presumably this was done so that
the coupons might be cashed and the
money diverted from the school fund
on the pretext that the coupons did
not belong to the state and were clip
ped by consent Of the school fund
commissioners before the bonds be-
came the property Of the state
How extensive this gross fraud was
practiced has not been reYealed- 1t is
presumed that the Morris report, filed
yesterday afternoon with Governor
HOch. viii give the full details Of the
affair soon.
Neither is it known whether the al
legged erasures were made during the
Grimes or Kelly administrations
Kelly and Grimes are said to be
confident that the Morris report and
Governor HOch will relieve them Of
all responsibility for the coupons
which the investigation shows were
not stamped state property" 1t is
therefore Of great Importance to them
that all the coupons investigated shall
be destitute Of this stamp, provided
the money IS not shown by the records
as having been turned over to the
school fund, where it belonged
The erasure Of the state property
stamp is an element which did not en-
ter into the case during the ROwett
Investigations. 1t seems to have been
dug up as a brand new feature in the
scandal by Accountant Morris, or
some of his assistants.

Just At This Time

'Tis morn On leaving home around |

ALI there is luxury and elegance;
The cat and dog upon the hearthstone lie
My sweet wife kisses me and says good
bye,
The servants bring my coat and hat and
With so much comfort, how could COM
plain?
IT'S noon! AS to my home then draw
near
hear the sound of blows. The atmos-
phere
Is but a sitting, binding cloud of dust:
'Tis from the carpets beaten | mistrust;
And horror stricken to the house fly,
n scene of desolation greets my eye.
The carpets up the curtains down, fires
out,
Furniture all upset and piled about;
While back and forth with heads in
towels bound,
With skirts looped up foot above the
ground
And arms all bare fly creatures-can it be
My lovely wife and servants neat see,
Tearing around in these outlandish duds
And stirring up an awful smell of suds?
While in their eyes there CLEANS dam
gerous light;
Great heavens, tbs they; Oh, what a
dreadful sight.
The dog, once scalded, from them keeps
alcof;
The cat has sought forsafety on the roof;
And in the dining room, where | had
thought
To get a toothsome dinner, they have got
A fiend of Afric blood, who joys TO swing
A whitewash brush and spatters every
thing.
But am not forgot. My feast is spread
Out in the woodshed on a barrel head;
One piece of bread, plate of warmed up
beans,
Some water in mug, a dish of greens;
Oh, banquet rich! and best of all, you see
I've brought fellow home to dine with
me.

Anthony Hopes New Story.

Good news for lovers of stirring re-
nance! Anthony Hope has written
a new story in the style of "The
Prisoner of Lenda," and even surpass.
ing it in interest. 1t is called "Sophy
of Kravonia" and is to appear exclu.
sively in the Sunday Magazine of the
Chicago Record Herald, beginning
April 22d.
The mysterious country Of kravonia
lies in the same romantic region of
southern Europe as Zenda, but the
new story has no connection with
that OF the famous Rudolph Rassen-
dyll. Its central figure is still more
interesting persona courageous and
beautiful heroine, who rises from the
lowly life to the throne. Sophy de
Gruche is her name, and she loves the
brave but unfortunate Prince Sergius,
as she proves in series of the most
exciting events in modern fiction.
Her trials and triumphs are due to
the existence of two factions in the
court. One is loyal to the true heir
apparent, Prince Sergius, and the
others seek to place upon the throne
the little son of Countess Ellenburg,
the kings morganatic wife. The
lCddS w lIlduy
scenes, one of the most thrilling be-
ing that in which the old king dis
covers the guilt of the countess and
drops dead at a moment when things
are in q perilous condition tor Sergius
and his bride. How Sophy comes
out of this turmoil of intrigue, battle,
tears and joy, Anthony Hope reveals
in his own inimitable style.
The first installment of "Sophy OF
kravonia," will appear April 22d.
On account of the demand for this
fascinating story it will be wise 10
order your copy of The Sunday Rec
ord Herald we'll in advance.
