DRAWING TO CLOSE.
Judge Reading Instructions to Jury in
Fifth Ward Sewer Case.

The long drawn case of Gilmore
against the city of Topeka involving
the great graft of the Fifth ward
sewer and the dismissal of City En-
glneer McCabe. will likely be brought
TO an end tomorrow morning.
Testimony was all in Saturday.
saturday evening and the forenoon to-
day were occupied by Judge A. w.
Dana In preparing his instructions to
the jury. He began the reading of
TINS 3 s.a long document to the jury at near
the most complicated and technical
case we have had," said the Judge to
counsel, land certainly every phase of
the old sewer graft between the city
engineer, McCabe, and Contractor
CITY,"
During the fortnight of legal bat
tie. In which the city hopes to recover
some $4,000 over paid on the sewer
ana cancel its obligation Of $4,000 to
gilmore Tor sidewalk construction of
more recent date. ninety-two wit
nesses have been placed on the stand,
and more than a hundred and twenty
five summoned.
The testimony had filled 10 steno-
graphic books and covers every possi-
bic phase of the suit besides hours of
extraneous matter which could not be
excluded because it was not possible to
decide just what was really unneces-
sary. F. G. Dreaming, for the city, has
exhibited one Of the most thoroughly
outlined cases which has been tried in
the district court.
Argument by counsel, which will fol-
low the instructions of the judge, will
likely more than consume the remain
der of the day. The outcome of the suit
and the evidence really necessary to
have been put before the jury, if it is
determined, will establish a valuable
precedent. for several more just such
graft suits are now pending in the
same court.

BOY F0RGER CAUGHT.
Tried to Pass Checks Here In Aggre
gate Sum of 500.

Lawrence Young, aged IS. who says
that his parents reside in Lawrence,
admitted to the police this afternoon
that he had forged checks to the aggre-
gate amount Of 800, in order to secure
funds which would keep grim poverty
from eating its way into his life.
Young has been employed as dish
washer at the National hotel, and has
had similar employment at other places
in Topeka None of the places where
he worked has he held his job long. it
is said, having from time to time given
up his employment to seek other.
When arrested this afternoon at 1:50
o'clock. the lad admitted that he had
attempted to cash a check for SAG,
which he had drawn and made payable
to L. E. Green. The paper was signed
F. H Alright, and called for SAG.
Another check which he had in his
possession was for s54 and was signed
H. T. Decker. 1t was made payable to
J. A. Degraff. The lad acknowledged
that when he conceived the idea of rails
ing money in this manner he used the
first names that occurred to him. Both
checks were drawn on the Bank of To-
peka.

The Forests of Miudoro

The island of Mindoro lies amout a
hundred miles southwest of Manila
and contains a little less than four
thousand square miles. A mounta in
chain extends its whole length, rising
at one point to $500 feet, and this is
bordered with foothills and broad
al!uvial coastal plains. Nearly two
thirds of this area is covered with for
ests, the remainder is nearly all I'M
cultivated grass lands, only about
per cent being under cultivation. A
descriptive pamphlet, prepared by M.
L. Merritt of the Philippine bureau,
gives 'slist of three species collected
in Mindoro and smaller adjacent
Islands, numbering $50 species. When
we remember that these occur upon an
area equal to about half dozen coun-
ties the richness of the forest flora may
be preciated.-Science.

lions made on Kansas avenue. A few
days ago before the ditch along Eighth
avenue crossing Kansas avenue was
covered the strong fumes of the gas
could be smelled strongly and in some
cases it was almost asphyxiating and
caused many people to hurry away
from the scene.
This has been true of excavations
all over the business portions of the
city. In some cases 1T was first thought
that this was sewer gas or the leak
age from a nearby gas main but on in
vestigation it was found that there
were no sewers or mains opening into
the excavations and the matter was
that the leakage of the natural gas
caused the smell
The sewers are not bothered so much
with the gas leakage on account of the
continual current of air which runs
down from the street openings into the
long tunnels. This air carries off the
gas leakage and thus does not cause
the combination which is dangerous to
life. However, there have been many
instances over the city where a lighted
lantern or match has blown up several
feet of sewer.1 Sewer gas in itself is
sometimes explosive but in late months
it has been augmented by the gas from
the millions of feet of mains in the
ground.
Cellars Full of Gas.
Several business men report that their
cellars are a regular drum of natural
gas. The pipes Leading to the cellar
90 not leak apparently and the collec-
ton of the fumes has been blamed
on the seepage from the ground sur
rounding the cellar.
There is no doubt but what the
ground is filled with this natural gas

noon. I'VE have had evidence of it
many times and can see no way to
remedy the evil

HIS RESIGNATION AS GENERAL
TRAFFIC MANAGER CAUSES
SURPRISE.
HAD BEEN WITH THE
ROAD ONLY A MONTH
The Wording of the Circular Announc.
ing His Resignation intimates That
He Has Had Serious Disagreement
With President cotter-Resisnation
Causes Surprise Here.

]. N. Tittemore, formerly general
traffic manager of the Iowa Central
and Minneapolis and st. Louis rail-
roads, who resigned to become general
traffic menager of the Pere Marquette
line, has resigned. The receipt of the
news in this city caused a great sur
prise to Mr.. Tittemore's many friends
who live here. This surprise is due
10 the fact that Mr.. Tittemore left the
Iowa Central and Minneapolis and
st. Louis to go to the Pere Marquette
only little over a month ago.
The news of his resignation was
issued in an official bulletin from
the office of President William Cotter,
and its wording is taken by some to
intimate that the cause of Mr.. Title
more's resignation was a serious disa-
greement with the president.
1t is also said that James Veitch.
formerly commercial agent for the
Iowa Central and MINNEAPOLIS and ST.
Louis, with headquarters in Chicago,
whom Mr.. Tittemore, on becoming
traffic manager of the Pere Marquette,
made assistant general freight agent,
has also resigned. Mr.. Veitch was
formerly commercial agent for the
Iowa Central, with headquarters at
Peoria
No statement has been given out of
the future plans of either Mr.. Titte-
more or Mr.. Veitch.
