KANsAN AMONG WINNERS.
Lieutenant Topham of Lawrence Won
a First at Camp Perry.

Camp Perry, o., Aug. S1.-Under per-
fact shooting conditions a field of 1913
and 153 respectively fought out the
National Rifle associations battles for
its two most valued cups-the $500 VIM
bledon, presented to the National Rife
Association of America by the National
Rifle Association of Great Britain, and
the Leech cup. Service marksmen won
both cups.
Sergeant Victor H. Czegka of the
United States marine corps, whose
home is in Washington, D. c., took
the Wimbledon in 20 shots at 1000 yards
with a 9S, and Second Lieutenant JOS
eph L. Topham of the Thirteenth Uni
ted States infantry. a native of Law
renee, Kan, who is stationed at Fort
Leavenworth, shot up the camp in the
Leech match with the score of 1O3 out
of 105-seven shots at $780, 900 and 1000
yards
Czegka's score is one point better
than that by which Captain Casey of
Delaware, now of Pennsylvania. broke
the match record year ago. Lieu
tenant Topham's 1O3 is one short of
Casey's worlds record a year ago. Cap
tain Casey was in the race but failed
to land in the money.

RAT HAD TWO WARTS.
Captured by Roosevelt and Forwarded
to Smithsonian.

Washington, Aug. S1.-Moles and
rats are the most important trophies
of the many samples contained in one
big packing case and five small ones
just received by the Smithsonian in
stitution from former President Roose-
welt.
The scientists of the institution dis
play comparatively little interest in
the skulls Of the big animals. proofs
of ex-President Roosevelt's herois1n
and craftsmanship. But moles and
rats of the sort contained in the latest
shipment seem to be quite popular
with the scientists.
Major E. A. Hearns, who heads the
Smithsonian end of the Roosevelt ex-
petition, saw fit to include in the col
lection of skins of birds and small
animals that of a rat marked with
two warts on its lower lip.
The government IS experts never be-
fore knew of a rat so decorated. Con-
sequently a great value is attached to

same position occupied by the Morse
telegraphers of ante-belIum days,
with one exceDtion-that of wages
owing to the peculiarities of your
branch of the service. it may be your
idea that separate organization
would be best. This is impracticable,
but under the revised constitution of
1908, a good alternative is available;
the organization of subordinate
division, to which none but wireless
operators is eligible"

WIRELESS TOO MUCH FOR HIM
Stowaway Nearly Scared Into Fits by
Sending of Message.

New York. Aug. 31.-A stowaway hid
den beneath a row of batteries in the
wireless room of the French liner La
Touraine, had the fright of his life
when the operator began sending a
message after the steamer had left
Havre. The stowaway was Rhesen Kali,
a Syrian, 20 years Old. He had slipped
into the wireless room during the con-
fusion of sailing day.
When the operator tapped the heavy
current used for transmitting messages
the little cabin was filled with the flash
of dazzling blue sparks and the sharp
reports of a battery of field guns in ac-
ton. Rhesen Kali had never expert
enced anything like that before. With
a yell that gave the operator a start
he crawled from his hiding place, plead
ing for deliverance.
He jerked open the door and fed to
the lower decks. His yells created
alarm, and started a search for him.
and as 81 result five stowaways were
found in different parts of the ship.

MAKES IRONCLAD WILL.
Henry KOIIar Provides for All Heirs
Who May Appear.

Kansas City. Aug. S1.-Henry Kol-
Gently at his home, sol Gladstone
boulevard, did not want any contro-
versies over his property. Neither did
he care to have some unknown claim
ant bobbing up to take his estate.
So in his will, which has been filed
for probate, Kollar included this pro-
vision:
81 have no children and, so far as
my knowledge extends, 1 never have
had any, yet to guard against any mis-
take on this subject, 1 bequeath to
each person who shall claim to be and
shall legally establish that he or she
is a child of mine, the sum of $10.''
Mr.. kollar was a partner with his
brother in the firm of H. & H. KolIar.
The value of the estate given by the
brother and Mrs. Georgina Kollar,
who are made joint executors under
the will, is 100000 in personal prop
erty, mostly stocks, bonds and mort
cages. No valuation was placed on
the realty. most of which is held in
Mrs. .Kollar's name. The estate, no
doubt, will run considerably above the
figures first mentioned.
Under the terms of the will, which
was made January 2, 1904, these be-
quests are provided for:
To Thomas Kollar. brother, in
Oklahoma, $3.50: to Hiram Kollar. a
brother, his partner in Kansas City,
$1,000; to George Kollar, a brother of
Williams county, Ohio, $1,000; to
Maria Sharp, sister. of the same
place. $500.
The balance of the estate is to go to
the widow and her heirs.

CAR HELPED HER.
Nicholas Assisted Chicago Woman in
Regaining Her Daughter.

Chicago, Aug. Silt has become
known that the car of Russia used MS
influence to assist the Countess OF
Gizycki, formerly Miss Eleanor Patter-
son of Chicago, in regaining possession
of her little daughter, who had been
kidnapped by the count and kept in con-
cealment a year.
The imperial chancery of requests,
which acts for the czar in adjusting
those family differences which cannot
be adjusted in the courts, extended it,
protection to the countess and forced
the count to relinquish their child.
J. Medill Mccormick admitted yester-
day that this had been the case.
.'Inasmuch,'' he said, "as the regular
tribunals had no jurisdiction in the
matter, the car, through the imperial
chancery of requests, deigned to rec
ognize the countess claim and ordered
that she be protected in the Russian
domain insofar as lay in the power
of the Russian diplomatic representa-
tiVeS"

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC
is Added to the City Government of
Long Beach, Cal.

Long Beach, Cal, Aug. 31.-This
city has a new municipal department
the department of music, presided
over by a bandmaster and consisting
of twenty musicians. The council
created the department with the view
of assuring the city government abso-
lutte control over the band which plays
on the beach.
The ordinance provides that all
members of the music department
shall be American born. This shuts
out a large number of foreigners
who have practically monopolized the
business of providing music at the
beaches hereabouts.

Louisville and Nashville Will Erect
 Building At Gadsden.

Gadsden. March 10.-(Special.) )-Su perintendent D. T. Brooks of the min eral division of the Louisville and Nashville railroad spent yesterday in the city comforting with business men and the city council in reference to the new passenger station to be erected in this city.
 He had with him complete plans of the station which were exhibited and discussed at a meeting of the Business Mems Club and which showed that the Louisville and Nashville has full faith in the future of this city and proposes to erect a station that will care for the wants of a city several times the present population.
 The building will be constructed of brick and stone with tile roofing and floors. The design is in Spanish and the structure will be an ornament to the city. The location for the station is central between Seventh and Ninth streets and where all the roads enter ing the city will find easy access to it. Actual construction will probably be- gin within the next 50 days and the time for it's completion will be about six months. The cost will be approxi- mately S5O.000.
