VEL. Bochemohle, Cashier of
EllinwOOd Bank, a Suicide.
Preferred Death to the Disgrace
of a Life in Prison.
BONDSMEN GAVE UP,
The Affairs of the Suspended
Institution Badly Tangled.
Little Money to Show for the
Heavy Deposits of Recent Date.

6iedI bend, Kan, Jan. 25.-LeO
Bochemohle, cashier of the Bank of
Ellinwood, which was closed Tuesday
by order of the state bank commits
sioner Thursday evening shot and
killed himself as he was leaving his
home In charge of the deputy sheriff
to be brought to Great Bend and
lodged in jail.
His bondsmen had spent most of
the day trying to be released from
their liability. They had signed his
bond for $4,000 to insure his appear
ance In court here today to answer
to charge of swearing falsely in re-
gard to two notes which had been
Cancelled, but which he swore were
among the assets of the bank The
complaint was filed by Deputy State
Bank Examiner Watson, who has
been in charge of the bank. When
the deputy went to the house for
Bochemohle, he said he was willing
and ready to go to Great Bend, and
would come without trouble. AS they
reached the gate of the yard he turn
ed and, rush back On the porch, fired
a bullet into his brain, killing himself
instantly.
Later developments In the bank
case show that money had been re-
ceived from farmers and merchants
to apply on purchases of lands, pay
ment of notes, etc., and all the people
paying the money had to show for the
Bohemohle, and in many cases, not
that much. The matter of turning
him over to the authorities was forced
on the bondsmen. Ellinwood is a
prosperous little town, and it's people
are mostly German. They have been
slow to take offense, but as the enor-
nifty of the misdeeds of Bochemohle
became known, they have been get
ting more and more incensed. There
are a number of people who have lost
sums of $4,000 and more, all the
money they had. At first, they were
slow to believe that they had been
robbed. 1t took absolute proof to
make them lose their faith in the
dead cashier. Sentiment ran SO high
in the town today against the bonds
men, men who lost money in the
bank, but who wished to help Boche-
mobile for his mothers sake, that for
their own protection, they were forced
to ask that he be taken into custody.
During the last few days Bochemohle
has been confined to the house and
under the care of physician. 1t was
feared that he was going crazy, or else
was feigning to be.
The bank on December had depos-
it's of 100000. An examination of
the banks assets just completed
showed the grossest frauds. Securi-
ties on hand are not worth more than
$4,000, the state bank examiner
says

San Francisco Cal. Jan. 25.-The if
teenth Burns handicap is to be decided
this afternoon. Fourteen horses have
been entered for this most important
feature of the western turf, when the
champion thoroughbred Of the winter
season will be proclaimed but 1t is ex-
pected that at least three and possibly
four vii declare the race. The track
at Emeryville is In very bad condition.
The heavy rain Of the past two days
has converted the track into a veritible
sea Of mud and the race will be a test
OF fitness and stamina. A large crowd
IS expected at the track and lovers of
the thoroughbred are arriving from all
directions to see the best horses in
training on the coast contest for tho
purse Of $4,000 which will be divided
among the trio in the lead at the close
of the one and a quarter miles strug-

x. O. CHANGES FRONT.
Are Now Seeking to Resume Athletic
Relations With st. Louis

ST. Louis. Jan. 25.-That Kansas
university has not severed athletic re-
lations with st. Louis university is
evidenced by the formers request for
series of baseball games to be played
here in June. In letter to the local
management, received yesterday, Man
ager Langsdon asks for two games,
and 1t was authoritatively stated that
the contests will be arranged, If pos
sible. Whether they will or not is
Jayhawkers' schedule. If the latter
nine comes here in the early part Of
June the games will be played; if not,
the negotiations will be called off St.
Louis will likely make a counter
proposition, however, and ask to play
Kansas in Lawrence while the blue
and white team is on its southern trip.
At any rate. the two schools are IN
communication. and it is likely that
the games will materialize.

We WOULD LIVE LONGER.
II Drugs Were Kept Out Of Food Says
DIR. Wiley.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Dr. H. W..
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem
istry of the department of agriculture
has reported to the house COMMITTEES
on agriculture the result of expert
ments conducted by the bureau to de-
termine the poisonous effect on the
human system Of such drugs as borax,
benzoic acid, benzoiate of soda. sui
phate of copper, sulphur dloxide,
formaldehyde, and salicylic acid when.
contained in food stuffs. DR.. Wiley
said that the EXPULSION of those and
kindred drugs from the body is per-
formed almost entirely by the kid
neys and that he is satisfied the term
Of American life would be heightened
if the use of such drugs in foods
were wholly discontinued He said
he was convinced that kidney disease.
SO prevalent among Americans Is part
ly the result of constant Introduce
ton in the system of such preserva-
tives as benzoate OF soda carried in
foods.
Discussing sulphur dioxide and its
injurious effect, DR.. Wiley told the
committee Of discovery just made
by him that salt solution Is a perfect
substitute for sulphur in the whiten-
ing and drying of fruit. He exhibited
samples of apples dried experimentalfy
by the bureau. The sulphured fruit
was not SO white or tender as the salt
cured.
The committee was informed by DR..
Wiley, Of plans to teach the farmers
Of the United States to make der
natured alcohol. Next August he
purpose to erect still at the bureau
Of chemistry and operate 1t himself
for two or three months, producing
denatured alcohol daily from damaged
fruit and vegetable substance such as
can be bought cheaply in the mar
ket. He has invited the agricultural
colleges of each state and territory to
send a representative to Washington
to observe his still and r.. master the
process of distillation. THE law
permitting the free distillation Of de-
natured alcohol" said DR.. Wiley, has
not benefited the farmers OF the
country at all for they DO not know
how to build a still or run one. I
purpose to teach them through the
agricultural colleges IL they want to-
learn. Denatured alcohol is an excel
lent fuel and makes a fine light. As
1t can be manufactured from farm
wa ste the farmers ought to avail
themselves Of the new law permitting
it to be made without imposition OF
revenue tax"
