Warden Haskell Will Soon Be Short OF

Warden w. H. Haskell Of the state
penitentiary, who was in Topeka Satur-
day on business said:
oklahoma has commenced to with
draw its prisoners from our peniten-
tiary. 1t took away so last week, and
sent up 10 new ones. 1 don't know why
they continue to send new and take old
ones back. When they take away all
their prisoners 1t will leave us with
800 prisoners. That won't be enough to
carry on the work at the prison if the
legislature keeps adding to the work
we have to do. There is more and more
demand for coal all the time, more de-
mand for brick. and the legislature may
order another brick road built.

large, two-horse delivery wagon of
Faxon & Gallagher, wholesale drug

employe, was returning home with
his family and party of six young
persons from walnut hunting trip

O'Clock last night by a car on the
Tenth street line in Kansas City,
Kan. The wagon was badly wrecked
Everyone of the occupants were hurt.
Mr.. Armitage was driving east on
Wood avenue on the south track,
which rises to a height of five feet
above the narrow roadway, when the
occupants observed a car approaching
from the west.
Mr.. Armitage was attempting to
drive his team to the other track
when the car struck the rear of the
wagon.
The car was in charge of William
Gibson. motorman, and Charles A
Johnson, conductor. 1t was moving
rapidly. 1t hit the wagon with such
force as to hurl it off the track to
the left and over the five-foot en-
bankment. The wagon was over
turned, pinning the little boy, Earl
BAKER. beneath it. and throwing out
the other occupants. large bag
nlled with walnuts, which fell by the
side of the Baker boy and received

AIRsHIP TRIAL FAILS.
Attempt to Cover Specified Course at
Wichita Unsuccessful.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 19.-Although a
breeze OF about fourteen miles an hour
was blowing from the south Sunday,
the Ray Knabenshue airship was
taken out of its shed on Ackerman's
island and another attempt was made
to fly from the island to the city
building.
The operator was able to go against
the breeze and make good Roadway
while at a height of about $50 feet.
but when he attempted to navigate
the ship to the east the wind would
strike it sideways and the air craft
would be carried out of its course.
The city building is located south
east of the island. Twice the attempt
was made, and on the last flight the
ship went due south about one-half
mile when 1t was turned and came
back to the island with the wind going
at very rapid rate.
The navigator stated that he could
not control the ship well on account of
the stiff breeze. He apparently had no
trouble in going against the wind or
with it, but when the ship got side
ways to the wind it would be blown
north This was noticed by the large
crowd which watched the air craft
when the navigator made seevral short
turns while flying low over the island.

VALUABLE COIN COLLECTION.
Secured by the Field Columbian Mu-
scum for $35, 5000.

New York, Oct. 19.-Local coin COL
lectors are widely discussing the report
that the celebrated collection of pioneer
gold coins gathered by the late Dewitt
Smith, wealthy paper manufacturer
of Lee, Mass, has passed into possess
sion of Field Columbian museum of
Chicago for the sum of $4,000
1t is said the coins would have fetch
ed $4,000 at public auction.
Coin experts regard this as the most
complete collection of the various gold
pieces that passed current in the early
days Of California. Oregon, Utah and
Colorado. He paid $3.50 for one ten
dollar gold piece, and always was an
important factor at the big coin sales
Devoted to American gold coins in
particular, yet Mr. Smith lacked a
specimen of the famous New York
brasher loubloon, struck in this city in
1877. When specimen of this rarity
was disposed of at the sale in 1906 he
bid up to $500 for it. then stopped and
the coin was knocked down to a Phila-
delphia collector for 5000, the highest
price ever paid for a coin.
Mr.. Smith also had a very complete
series of all the American silver coins
which he disposed of a short time pre-
vious to his death.

pension from the city for injuries re-
ceived while working in the city's en-
ploy called at the governors Office Sat
urday to plead for a pardon for his

OF from 10 to 20 years in the peniten-
tlary for highway robbery commit

The daughter was 20 years old when
the holdup took place, and was assisted
In 1t by young colored man. The
colored man held up the victim with a
gun and Rosa went through his pock-
cts and took SIS. The boy was sent to
the reformatory, and the woman to the
penitentiary. She has been there about
a year.
Richard Boyd bears a frst-class rep

mitted it to Professor J. T. Lovewell
for an assay the result showing a
valuation of $42.60 in gold and silver
If the rock could be found in paying
quantities 1t would make Mr.. Ahl-
strom wealthy but the history of the
state indicates that the speciman is
probably that of rock carried from the
far north during the glacial period.
Numerous specimens of rock rich
in gold and silver have been picked
up in various parts of Kansas during
the history of the state but the find
ings are SO minute and far between
that no one has ever attempted with
any degree of success to become
wealthy on account of the findings
Mr.. Ahlstrom will return to his home
and make a thorough search of his
farm for more specimens of the gold
bearing rock and in the mean time
dream of the wealth in store for him
in case he is successful in his at
tempt.

OLD ROW IN SUPREME COURT.
OIathe Franchise Trouble Is Taken Up
on Appeal.

An appeal in $4,000 damage suit
was filed in the supreme court today.
J. A Edison, receiver of the Missouri &
Kansas Interurban railway, sued the
city of Olathe for cancelling and re-
pealing the franchise ordinance which
the city had granted to the company
when it was building the Kansas City
Olathe electric line.
The city council passed an ordinance
giving the company the right to use
certain streets, and then, claiming that
the agreements had not been lived up
to. repealed the ordinance, and passed
another. The company claimed that it
was gravely damaged by this switch,
and sued for $4,000. The lower court
sustained the city's demurrer.

Niiiage-Cure for Jealousy.
There is always jealousy i'll the Ger
man rural districts oyer the favor that
the troops detailed TO various villages
and small towns ind from the young
women, says the New York Sun.
Things took "a queer turn last sum
mer in Forst, a village of Baden, near
BruchSal, where the One Hundred and
torty-second Regiment OF the line, re-
cruited at Ofenburg, was quartered
during the season OF field training. The
good old method Of thrashing soldiers
who made themselves agreeable TO the
girls proved a dismal failure. The men
OF the One Hundred and Forty-second
were husky and hard hitters and stood
together when threatened by numbers.
The country boys at last determined to
get square with the girls who accepted
attentions from the soldiers.
The word was therefore passed
around that any girl who was detected
in talking. walking or flirting with q
'musketeer," or receiving visits from
one. should be boycotted-they have
adopted the word into German-at the
dance which was to follow the relig-
ious services at the close of the har-
vesting. y notice to this effect was
even printed in the Bruchsal newspa-
per. 1t seemed quite settled hat the
girls who smiled On the soldiers should
have no partners at the great event of
the year.
But the young men altogether under
estimated the loyalty of the girls to
each other. In the next number of
the Bruchsal paper there appeared a
notice of the unanimous resolve of all
the maidens of Forst TO boycott com
pletely the local youth at the coming
dance. A formal invitation was fur
Their conveyed to the members of the
One Hundred and Forty-second Regi-
ment to come to the dance, with an as
surance that they would not lack part
ners, so far as the Forst girls would
so round. The young women's notice
ended with these patriotic words:
1T is not clear To us why we should
be expected to treat the soldiers Slight
ingly. Are they not as good men as
our lads in Forst? And why should
the poor soldier who serves his God,
his prince and his fatherland have no
one TO say q kind word TO him?"
This was signed "The Association of
Girls of Forst for the Improvement of
Foreign Relations. Especially with
Regiment No. 142." Negotiations for
a truce, it is reported, were not wholly
unsuccessful and no engagements were
broken.

That this is a world Of disappoint-
ments, Mrs. Green had long ago learn
ed but she found one more disappoint-
ment TO add to her list during her visit

II declare, you never can count on
what folks will do, and you might just
as well give up first as last" she said,
dejectedly, to Mr.. Green on her return.

Tiny folds Of satin or Of taffeta are
used to trim semidress costumes and
lend themselves admirably to original
effects. They may be applied in broad

waistcoats and aUe also used to frame
motifs.
With the summer dress will be worn
some pretty ribbon sashes. But these
ribbons will be wide, ethereal in APP
pearance. and tied in four loops at the
back. Some of the streamers are also
knotted a few inches from the end.
The idea is to get a ribbon to match
the delicate weave of the dress.
The smartest dresses worn at pres
ent are those composed Of cloth skirt,
velvet jacket, braided and fancy or old
time waistcoat fastening down the
front with small antique buttons. The
popularity of gossamer tissues much
embroidered is very evident, the idea
having been borrowed from the East.

design. While these collars may be
very beautiful, they are less satisfac-
