Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 7.--As a
result of the overturning of a skiff
containing nine men, near Kickapoo
seven men were drowned. The 9TH
er two. Mr.. Sharp and Frank Logan
were rescued by Ernest Schweitzer
at the risk Of his life.
The dead:
FRANK HILL, age "a, Leaven-
worth; leaves wife and six children.
RALPH HILL, age II; water boy.
CHARLES BAKER, age AZ, FIT.
Leavenworth; leaves wife and four
children.
JOHN BAKER, age %.
ELMER HUNTLEY, age unknown.
GROVER HUNTLEY, age I'M
known.
UNKNOWN SWEDE.
All but the Hunteys and the
Swede were residents of Kickapoo.
Were Laying Pipe Line.
The men were employed by the
Kansas Natural Gas Company in
construction of a pipe line under the
river. They had been working on
one side of the river and the acct
dent happened when the men were
rowing to the Kansas side, prepare
tory to returning to their homes.
They had proceeded about half way
across, but the current and wind be-
ing swift, the men decided to turn
back In endeavoring to turn the
boat a wave broke over it, causing 1t
to capsize, throwing the occupants
into the water.
Lieutenant of Police VIM. Crumm
has stationed men along the river to
watch for the bodies. An overturn-
ed skiff is reported to have floated by
the terminal bridge here at 1880 p.
M, but none of the bodies have as
yet been recovered.
Germany Floats $75,ooo,ooo Loan.
Berlin, Jan. THE action of the
Prussian ministry of finance in an
nouncing that it will receive sub
scriptions on January ID to a new
loan which, although the amount is
not named, is assumed to be in the
neighborhood of SIS 100000, is excit-
ing much unfavorable comment in
financial circles. Many regard the
time as i'll chosen, before the money
market has sufficiently relaxed. The
action of the ministry, however, ap-
pears to have been dictated by the
wish to offer a loan to a bonafde in
weston who just now is able to sub
scribe because of the payment of the
December interest coupons. The Sc
lection of the early date was prompt
ed by a desire to put in the first bid
for these investment funds before
mortgage banks, Municipalities and
other borrowers absorbed them.

the lone pioneer of aerial navigation, be-

conquered distance by water and made
possible the progressive enlightenment
and civilization of the world.
Mr. Langley's trends are still bitter to-
ward the newspapers and say that the
late secretary of the Smithsonian 1nstitu-

part, perhaps he was; but a great deal
