MYSTERY DEEPENS.
Police Unable to Locate Relatives of
''Afrs. c. 4. Lewis"

Chicago, May Ask headquarters
detectives aided by long Geographic
dispatches from the police of five other
cities, have been unable In any way to
clear up the mystery surrounding the
identity of the woman found drowned
in the lake off Lincoln park with a key
to a safe deposit box containing $1,000
about her neck.
At the First National bank the wo-
man gave the name of Mrs. c. A. Lewis.
Eight separate reports have been made
during the last 4S hours of a missing
Mrs. Lewis but in each case, with one
exception, the woman reported as miss
ing has been located.
The detectives are now convinced that
the woman drowned is the woman who
lived for two weeks in a house in Dear
born avenue. This woman gave her
name as Mrs. Lewis. and in her rooms
were found many medicines often pre-
scrfbed for colds and stomach trouble.
A prescription of a similar nature was
found in a bag about the neck of the
woman drowned.

DEATH KNE1n FOR SQUIRRELS.
Hutchinson Telephone Company Suf-
fers From Their Depredations.

Hutchinson, Kan, May 4-The fes-
tive squirrel, lauded in press, pulpit
and court. who is endeared to, and
sentimentally revered by the feminine
sex and tolerated by man, who's name
is a latter day synonym for a touch Of
nature, and on whose account a law
was passed in the state of Kansas
making it crime to kill the animal,
has got himself in trouble in Hutch
inson. The two local telephone COM
panies, backed by many angry sub
scribers has officially declared war on
the bushy tailed pet.
Following a recent rain, 400 tele-
phones were out of commission. The
subscribers were angry. There had
been little lightning and there was no
excuse in that direction. The tele-
phone company knew what it was,
though. For the last two years they
have been bothered by the squirrels
slide of complaints.
The vandalism caused by the so11ir-
rels is in destroying the outer wall of
the telephone cables. The squirrels
have a habit of performing ali man
ner of tight wire acts and the cables
far above the pedestrians head have
provided an excellent playground
This alone would not have caused anv
mental anguish to the telephone Of
fcials or subscribers had not the
squirrels deigned to eat up their pIay-
ground. The sharp teeth of the little
animals have penetrated many of the
lead coating of the cables. At the first
hard rain the cable becomes filled
with water, the wires are short cir
cuited and the telephones are out

New York, May 4.-According to
the figures of the customs office the
luxuries imported into this country
during April indicate return of pros
perity. During the month diamonds,
pearls and other precious stones az
creating an appraised value of 81
41S,242 were imported into this coun-
try through this port. This is six
times the quantity imported during the
same month last year and is more by
nearly half a million than the value
of the precious stones imported during
April of 1907.
In the same month 172 automobiles

were imported, while in April, 1908,
there were only seventy-one automo-
biles valued at $181, 1876 brought in

Paris, May 4.-The observations of
1.-THE United States of America by Gug-
Iielmo Ferrero. the italian historian,
which are appearing in Figaro, are at
tracing much attention. Signor Fer
zero finds that the immense power
} welded by the rich in America is due
I TO their untrammeled activity, par
'ticularly as compared to Europe,
where the state remains more or less
in control of all Enterprises. The
freedom Of private initiative in Amer
ca, the distinguished italian attri-
butes to the fact that fear of the state
was the underlying principle of the
American constitution.
The founders of the republic, Fer
zero says, were imbued with the
French philosophy of the eighteenth
century, and they could not foresee
the formidable force which would en-
large from the development of gigan-
tic resources of the land. AS a result
the American millionaire occupies a
different position. He assumes respon-
sibilities which in Europe fall upon
the state and with which responsible
ity comes power.
lowing to the weakness of the state
in America all the superior intellectual
and moral life OF the country scien-
tifc as we'll as religious. is falling
gradually under the influence of the
wealthy classes
Yet this state Of affairs, Signor Fer
zero affirms, is not so monstrous as is
believed in Europe, the difference be-
tween the state and the forces of cap
ital in America are not understood.

Upon the degree of courtesy shown
School assosociation at their forty first
annual convention to be held at the
Auditorium on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of this week, depends the
question of permanent quarters for the
organization. Last year the convention
took place at Wichita. 1t is now up
to Topeka to prove her ability to en-
terrain and adequately accommodate
nearly 1900 delegates in a manner
which will do her credit.
Considerable interest is being evinced
in the convention, and aside from those
who are affiliated with Sunday school
work other organizations among which
are the Commercial club and Y. M. c..
A, are working with the object of
making the affair great success.
About 20 business men have offered
to donate the services of their auto
mobiles for the conveyance of the
guests, and it is hoped that others will
follow suit and show similar loyalty to
their city. Each machine accompanied
by one of 20 pages which the Y. NJ.
C. A. is supplying, will see that they
reach their proper destinations, the base
of operations being at the First Bap-
list church, Ninth and Jackson streets.
A photograph will be taken of the
convention automobile brigade together
with the owners of the individual ma
chimes, who so generously come to the
aid of the reception committee
That convention of the magnitude
of that of the Kansas Sunday School
association is of no little Importance in
an advertising way cannot be doubted
and for this reason are loyal citizens
endeavoring to secure for Topeka the To-
cation of the association.

ly missed an intellectual treat. The
many who were there were delighted
and none but words of praise were
heard. The lecturer held his audi
ence as by magic as he painted in
beautiful figures and imagery his ex-
periences and observation on land
and on sea. The climaxes were
many; but his picturing of what he
felt and saw at Epworth, the beau
tiful little village of Ambleside, ST.
Paul's Cathedral with its male choir
of unsurpassed singers. The high
lands of Scotland, the climb up the
Alpine mountains, the visit to the
very houses in which his father and
mother were born in the fatherland
was exceptionally bright and soul
stirring. We hope Dr. Halter may
come again.
