ONE HEART DEAD.
second Center Of Life Beat on Until
stiHed by Consumption.

Salem, Ore. July 26.-After living
for two weeks with one heart dead
George Lippert, s 2 years old, whose
two hearts, three perfectly formed
legs and sixteen toes made him one
OF the wonders of z. T. Barnum'
shows, is dead from tuberculosis.
Surgeons who performed an autopsy
declare that had it not been for the
consumption, which already had the
upper hand, the death of Lippert's
right heart would not have materially
affected the like organ on the left side
and that he probably would have
lived for years.
Until seven years ago Lippert's life
had been spent in the show business.
He could speak five languages and
any number of dialects. A gIoDe trot-
ter's career is not conducive TO saving.
and Lippert had only a 25 cent piece
when he found himself sick and home
less in Oregon. Mrs. Mary Riggs, a
florist gave him a home, and he quit
the show business for good, making
his home thereafter with his bene-
factress. in whose house he died. He
was visited here by many shoNmen.
Besides the usual two legs a thirc
one grew out of his right side and was
somewhat thinner than the other two,
but perfectly formed. In a French
train wreck Lppert sustained a frac-
ture of his third leg and had his nose
broken. Thereafter he was never able
TO use his leg, but would not consent
TO an amputation.
Lppert last fall contracted a severe
cold, which developed into consump-
fion. When he apparently was near
death two weeks ago one heart ceased
beating, but with the other he chung
tenaciously to life until the white
plague killed him.

SMITH JURY DISAGREE.
Policeman Charged With Assault Must
Be Tried Over.

c. A. Smith. the negro policeman who
was tried in city court this morning on
the charge of assault preferred by
Charles Gerberiek. will have to stand
trial again on the same charge. The
jury composed OF six men failed to
agree on a verdict, and was dismissed.
Smith is the negro who struck Ger
berick. a grcceryman on the east side,

defense that Smith struck in self-de-
tense. Smith sought to arrest Gerber

bucketsful, of water so that it ran over
the sidewalk in front of his place of
business. Gerberick was of the opinion
that he had done nothing of a serious

STEALS ONLY LINGERIE.
Sell. Confessed Burglar Disdains to
Touch Gold or Jewels.

Toledo, o., July 26.-Roaming around
in rooms in several o. the finely fur
nished residences OF the city. with dia-
monds and jewels of great value easily
accessible, Emil Tauchard has proven
himself to be one of the most unique of
burglars by utterly disdaining to touch
the valuables, but instead stealing all
the lingerie in sight. Chemises. corset
covers with fine laces, undergarments
and hosiery of every kind and class fell
prey to his mania, while gold and fine
valuables were unmolested.
This has been going on for months,
and detectives finally traced part of the
stolen stuff to Tauchard. Yesterday he
was arrested. Today he confessed after
it was promised that the newspapers
would state that his mother and father
were not implicated In the thefts. Tau
chard says he is the victim of man
with a spiked beard who has hypno-
tized him.

HITS AT The Law.
Winfield Jointist Tries an Old
Dodge
Claims That Prohibition Is Not
Constitutional.
FINDS A NEW PLACE.
Says That Title of Measure Is
Faulty.
Result of an Injunction Grant
ed by Judge.

Oscar Schmidt, of Winfield, who was
convicted in the district court of Cow
ley county before Judge c. L. Swarts.
and sentenced to pay a fine of $500, for
his contempt of an injunction issued by
the court prohibiting him for selling in
toxicating liquors in Winfield, has APP
pealed his case to the supreme court of
the state and in his appeal, which was
fled with the court today he asks for
a reversal of Judge Swarts' decision on
the ground that the prohiibtory law of
Kansas is unconstitutional and void
because 1t is in contravention to section
Is of article 2 of the constitution Of
Kansas.
This section Of the constitution states
that no law shall be passed by the leg
islature which contains more than one
subject, which shall be clearly express
ed in the title of the bill. and no law
shall be revived or amended. unless the
new act contain the entire act revived.
or the section or sections amended, and
teh section or sections SO amended shall
be repealed.
Schmidts contention of the unconsti-
tutionality of the prohibitory law is
therefore based on a technicality of its
structure. An opinion was expressed
today that this particular phase of the
law had not been passed upon by the
supreme court.
The case against Schmidt was
brought by John Marshall OF Winfield,
in the name of the state Marshall pc
titioned the COwley county court in
1905 for an injunction to restroom
Schmidt from selling liquor in violation
of the law. This injunction was grant
ed by Judge Swarts. Schmidt contin-
ued to sell liquor and he was arrested
for contempt for violating the injunc-
ton, found guilty and fined $500.

HIGHEST ASCENT.
Four Miles Above Earth for More
Than Five Hours.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 26.-T. Chal-
mers Fulton and Samuel j. Ottinger,
two Philadelphia physicians, today
assembled in a balloon to the height of
nearly four miles above the earths sur
face-the highest altitude, it is asserted,
that has ever been attained in America.
The two doctors made the ascension
purely in the interest of medical science
with view of collecting physiological
ious. attitudes. They were able to- get
attitudes in quantity today, as the trip
was the most remarkable from the
standpoint of sheer height that has ever
been made III this country.
They were up in the air for nearly
five hours, but the distance covered
laterally was not great, owing to lack
OF wind. The start was made from
Point Breeze shortly after ? o'clock
and the balloon came to earth between
Media and West Chester a distance of
starting point.
While up in the air the two expert
mentors not only procured material
of the greatest value to science, but
they were treated to sights such as
few have ever beheld. They fioated
among the great f1eecy clouds and
saw that rarest of all aeronautic bits
Of scenery, a double perihelion, or
shadowgraph of the balloon on the
clouds.
While the doctors stated after their
descent that the trip had been very
successful from scientific standpoint
they absolutely refused to give out
any data. They will prepare q state
ment of their findings, and in a short
time, through the medical channels
make it public.

an action brought in the supreme court

The plaintiffs said that they represent
Sc per cent of the stock of the company
After hearing the argum ents the
court reserved decision. Counsel for
the plaintiffs declared in his argument
that they have received interests of
only 8 per cent, while they had reason
to believe it should be 40 per cent.
Counsel also said that a committee
was recently formed to get Informal
ton about the affairs of the company,
but it had only been an evasive
scheme. He asserted that for the last
five years the corporation had been
under the domination of E. H. Harri-
man. He said the surplus was stated
to be $4,000, 600 when it was probably
Sl9 600, 900 and the amount of bonds
was given as $5,000,0O0 when $1O,-
600. 600 would be nearer correct.
The attorney said the defense asserted
that the plaintiffs represented stock
brokerage firm and wanted to control the
coming election of directors. At every an
nual meeting of the company it was said
full and correct statements are issued as
to the financial condition Of the company.
the corporation had been obtained in
Colorado and that the court had no juris-
diction to force the inspection of the
books of corporation of another state.
