SMITH IS INSANE
Physicians Decide He Is Suffering
From Dementia Praecox.

commission of physicians consist
ing Of Drs. D. F. Nicol1, Seth A. Ham
nell and w. A. McDonough, decided in
the probate court today that Lew
Smith, a young man, who says he is
% years old, and whose knowledge of
himself and antecedents seems limit
ed to that fact through loss of mem
DRY, is insane and he was committed
by Judge Hayden to the state hospi-
tai. The physicians believe that Smith
is suffering from a form of insanity
which the alienists are wont to term
dementia praecox.
Smith was picked up by the police
early on Monday morning because he
apparently had no home for he could
tell nothing about himself. He does not
appear to be over 20 years old and his
clothing is of the scantieSt. In the
heavy shoes, no stockings, pair of
blue overalls and shirt and a little
jumper and SLOUGH hat.
Numerous questions were asked Smith
by the physicians but they could get
little information from him. Most of
his answers about himself and his par
ents and his whereabouts during the
past few months We're, Il don't know,
or 'I can't remember. He remem-
bered being in Finney county herding
cattle and sheep about six months
and that before this he had herded
sheep in Colorado. but just where he
could not state. He remembered noun
ing about his family and when asked
what his fathers name was replied,
Smith think
He said that he had come afoot from
western Kansas and thought he had
been in Topeka for two or three days.
He remembered having two dollars
with him when he was taken up by the
police but he did not remember where
he got the money.
Smith appeared to be in a dazed sort
of condition and when many questions
I,lare asked him he knitted his brows
as though it was an effort for him to
comprehend the meaning of what was
being said to him.

Mayor Green Solves Light Ques-
ton for Present.
Make Needed Repairs on City
Plant.
LAST FOR TWO YEARS.
Then the Whole Question May
Be Settled.
Municipality Can't Stand the
ASST FOR TWO YEARS.
Municipality Can't Stand the
Added Expenditure Now.

1t is probable that the question of
street lighting will remain as it is for
some time at any rate. Mayor Green
has been looking over his accounts
and reckoning the receipts and ex-
penditures of the year and finds that
there are quite number of extraordi-
nary expenses that will be called for
which will make a great drain upon
the funds of the city. There was a
deficiency of $500 in the expeditures
over the receipts in the last year OF
the Davis administration and this in
spite of the fact that there was an
extra ordinary revenue from gas ex-
caVat-ons There was a revenue OF
over $4,000 to the city from this
source last year which was more than
$4,000 above the normal. The con-
tract for rebuilding the Sixth street
viaduct was let in the last administra-
ton but the present administrator
will pay for it and the city's shere of
this will amount 10 about SS,cGO.
Then there is the Lincol1 street bridge
which must be built at an expense IF
$z,5O0 or $4,000, AMI the Melan bridge
and Central avenue bridge repairs be-
sides the painting. 70 maFe matters
worse. the personal properly returned
for taxation this year is 100000 lcss
than last year. Why this should be
the cause no one knows but it makes
a big difference in the revenue.
Mayor Green said this morning: 81
think the present plant should be fixed
up according TO the estimate of Su-
I,erintendent Goodrich who thinks
that a couple of thousand dollars ex-
penditure upon the plant would put 1t
into good running shape for a couple
of years. This would postpone the
need CT putting any large amount into
the system. If we should let the con-
tract TO the Edison company or should
rebuild the plant, either course would
call for an added expenditure which
We cannot well stand when there are
these other extraordinary expenses
that have to be made whether we
want them or not 1t is not a queS-
ton of what we want to do but what
we can do. The question of increas-
ing the street lights can wait a while
though this course will prove unpopu-
lar with the outlying districts"
Councilman c. G. Blakely is of the
same opinion as Mayor Green. He
says: 1.-THE amount of extraordinary
expense we will be put to is good
enough reason for postponing action
IN regard to the lighting plant And
IN view of this I think we were also a
little hasty in regard to the voting
machine proposition the other night.
We have no need of them right now
and in fact they would not prove
econ omical until the law has been
changed to lower the expenses in the
matter of judges and clerks and we
would have to pay interest on them all
this time

THE sCAFFoLDING TELL.
John WirricIx, a Carpenter, Is Seri
ously Hurt.

BY the falling of scaffold late Tues
day afternoon John Wirrick and Charles
McReynold, two carpenters employed IN
remodeling a dwelling at the corner of
Sixth and Lincoln streets were precipi-
tated IS feet to the ground below and
seriously injured. The scaffold fell on
the men adding to the injuries which
they had already sustained and Wirrick
was taken to Dr. Keith's hospital where
at first it was supposed that his back
was broken and that his death would
be the matter of few hours. This,
however, proved to be a mistake as his
back was not broken at all and he Will
probably recover though it will be
some time before he will be able to be
about.
Charles McReynold, the other injured
man. Jared better than did his compan-
ion and though he suffered number of
severe bruises was able to be taken to
his boarding place The men were in
the employ of F. L. Penny and are from
Stansfield, Illinois, where each or them
have families.

SMASHING THE WET GOODS.
This Pastime Is Being Enjoyed at
Police Station Today.

This is destruction day" at the police
station A large collection of keg and
bottled goods, beside several sets of bar
fixtures, will be converted into debris
this afternoon. The property was captur
ed with the following seven alleged joint
lists: McMannus Arterbridge, Durein,
HosfeId Watts, Schaffer and Mcdonald.
The interior of the city jail building is
being painted and police court has been
hold in various rooms just about two
jumps ahead of the painters. 1t was first
moved to the back room down stairs
while the court room was being painted,
and then to the detectives room upstairs
The regular haugers-on had hoped that
the detective room would fall under
that hand of the painters, and that
court would have to convene in the base
ment, where the wet goods were stored.
This hope will be seriously shattered by
the news of the destruction today.

Dr. Lasker made his appearance in
Topeka the last day in January, 1906,
remaining until the Sd of February
during the Kansas Chess tournament
and met all corners. During this visit
to the city he played "a games stimuli
taneously as well as numerous indi-
vidual games, winning every game
played singly and either drew or de-
feated all of the contestants in the
simultaneous match excepting w. w.
Harvey.
This match lasted for several hours
and on the seventy-fourth move was
decided in favor of Mr.. Harvey. The
contest was not confined to local play
ers but the devotees of the game from
over the state were in the city contest
ing for the state championship which
fell to Ma or A. NJ. Harvey.
Since his appearance in this city DR..
Lasker has met a number of the best
chess players in the world, defeating
all of them with ease. He accepted
challenge from Frank Marshall, one
of the best known chess experts, for
the championship of the world and a
purse of $4,000 and defeated him with
ease without the loss of a single game.
The approaching visit of the worlds
champion to the city has aroused con-
siderable interest in the game and
there will be a number of chess en-
thusiasts from OYER the state in the
city to enter the list of players who
will enter the simultaneous contest.
During the past year a number of
chess experts have been developed
from the membership of the Y. NJ. G.
A and they are particularly anxious
to meet DR.. Lasker.
An invitation has been sent to Mr..
Harvey who now lives at Ashland,
and it is probable that he will come to
Topeka for another series of games

Abilene MILL FAILURE.
Speculation on the Board of Trade
Said to Be the Cause.

Abilene. Kan, June 5.-The Security
Milling plant of this place, and one of
the finest milling properties in the state.
has closed its doors with an indebted
ness of between $4,000 and $4,000 The
Citizens bank of Abilene is one of the
largest creditors, holding paper, it is
said. for about $4,000, while two other
local banks each have its notes for $4,000
and the Bank of Talmadge about the
same amount
A large portion of the indebtedness
is caused by warehouse receipts" for
stored wheat which is said to be miss
ing There are also notes given for
wheat that was stored and afterwards
sold by farmers to the company
The cause of the failure is said to be
improbable speculation on the board OF
trade
The managers of the milling company
are H K Humphreys. and Austin
George and the concern is capitalized at
$4,000
The stockholders are more or less re-
lated, Mr.. Humphrey having married a
daughter of Mr.. Johntz, one of the direc-
tors OF the. milling company and also a
director in the Citizens bank.
There are two stories afioat on the
streets today One that the directors OF
the milling company have assumed the
indebtedness at the Citizens bank and
Strengthened out the $4,000 due them
letting the smaller losers care for them
selves. The other that a wealthy brother
of Mr. Humphrey, a miller at yelling
ton. has come to the rescue and salts
fed the Citizens bank.
There is considerabl BILE wild talk here
today that there may be criminal pros
ecution by some of those who hold ware
house receipts for stored grain and now
find the bins empty.
The banks who have not been satisfied
are also said to be rather angry, but il
Is likely that matters will be ironed our
without criminal suits, as the directors
hold a meeting this afternoon for that
purpose.
J. B. Case and Mr.. Shockey each had
from 1000 to 1000 bushels of wheat
stored at the mill a week or so ago
they expressed desire to SELL The
company purchased the grain and gave
their notes which was satisfactory TO
the owners at the time. There are said
to have been other sales of a similar
nature.
Keen regret is expressed by the citi-
zens of this section at the failure as the
directors are prominent men and we'll
liked.
Mr.. Humphrey is a member of the city
council and has for years been one of
Abilene's most respected citizens.
The mill is a large frame building.
run by steam. and with a reputation of
making the finest -four in the west.
Carloads have been daily shipped to all
portions of the United States.
