ment a man of huge stature doomed up
in citizens clothes and wearing a shin
ing star. He showed a gun under the
nose of one of the men and said:
ct will have to take you folks in, as
sitting here is against the law.
st can never stand for arrest re-
sponded the man. "Will ten dollars
square it with you?"
Eyes that will be about right re-
piled the supposed officer of the law.
In his fright the traveller handed the
Officer a. $40 bill and thought it a
ten. The "acting officer said that it
was only five but it would do.
Then he went to the other entrance
where the other couple was trying to
hide behind a pillar. There he col
lected another SO, making $50 alto
gether. Then he quickly drifted into
the night.
When the two men Gained down

WICHITA MAN HAS A SCHEME.
Would Cool Water in Fountains b,
Earth's Temperature.


Earth's Temperature.
Wichita, kan, July 19.-There has
perhaps, been no proposition made
lately in this city that has met with
more favor than the plan of Commits
sioner Cone to supply public drinking
fountains at several convenient points
on the downtown streets. 1t has been
talked about a good deal, but E. L.
FOullxe, assistant city attorney, is the
first to come forward with a plan that
Foulke, by the way, is one of the first
to advocate such drinking places. 1t
has been sort of hobby of his several
years, and he has given the matter a
good deal of thought.
Concerning the proposition, Mr..
Foulke says he does not think it
necessary to use ice with which to cool
the water, believing it can be rendered
cool enough by forcing it through coils
buried deep in the ground. He says:
''I do not think it is fair to the bust
ness men to compel them to furnish
all the drinking water for the public,
although no one has ever refused to
furnish all the water any one wished
to drink.
81 have long had in mind a plan,
whereby cool water could be furnish
ed on each strret corner and would
like to see this plan tried. I believe
that if the city would put in the foun-
tains the water company would fur
nish the water free, and I would like
to see it tested.
MY plan is briefly this. to take an
ordinary tank such as is used for
heating water in residences, one that
will hold say 100 gallons and sink it
into the ground 15 or 20 feet and then
attach this tank to the city water and
have the water flow through the tank
before it would come out of the foun-
tain. believe that this would cool
the water so that we could have the
temperature of ordinary we'll water,
there are large crowds, when it might
be used out faster than it could be
cooled.
number of years and I would like to
see one put in at some corner in the
city, so that it could be tested"

GIRARD AIRSHIP DIDN'T FLY.
ETopped Its Wings and Groaned But
Failed to Rise.

Girard, Kan, July 19.-After readjust-
ing and making q number of changes
on the Girard airship it was again ia
ken to the field for another trial. The
engines had only fairly started to put
the machinery in motion when the
propellers which had been changed from
metal ones to wood. flew to pieces. Re-
pairs required another day.
When it was again taken to the field
for further tests, after running back
and forth for more than a mile, a slight
accident occurred to one of the engines
which was quickly repaired and both
engines were started and everything
seemed to work all right and the air
ship left the ground few inches. Then
ore of the engines refused to work
and the craft was taken in for further
repairs.

called for help before he could let go.
