He calls attention to the sale of
all the state building lands east of
the Missouri, and the further fact
that these lands west of the stream
are at present SO remote from rail
connections that to place them on
the market would mean a financial
loss to the fund. He suggests that
the coming legislature provide the
funds for the competition of the
work, and says that sales in the
near future will return to the treas
ury more than will be required by
appropriation at the present time.

COST MORE THAN AUTOS
Wright Brothers Issue Statement as
to Price of Aeroplanes.

New York, May 1.-THE minimum
price of Wright aeroplane has been
established at $500 But if high
speed machine suitable for war pur-
sides the aviator is desired, the price
may run to S25, 900. This schedule of
prices was announced last night by
Orville Wright, who with his brother
Wilbur, will start for Dayton, Ohio,
this afternoon after being rendered a
reception by the Aero Club of America
''Of the 60 odd aeroplanes which we
now have under construction at our
1.-The cheapest will be $500. We have
received orders for a number of these
from individuals and they will be de-
livered as rapidly as possible. We are
not at liberty at present to announce
the names of the purchasers, but among
them are several well known Americans
and Europeans. The principal trouble
will be in teaching the purchasers the
operation of the machines. We recog-
nize the fact that we must enlist
number of aeroplane teachers.
''Our friends in America should dis
regard the stories which have preceded
US concerning the vast amounts OF
money we are said to have received.
The only money we have received came
from the government of France.
amounting to 100000. OF course we
have contracts with Germany, Italy
and England, but they are entirely ten
tative and should not be considered as
a direct income to us until we have
completed the stipulations called for in
such contracts"
The machine which is to be delivered
to the United States government is
said to be almost completed at Dayton
and after being tested will be taken
to Washington by the Wright brothers
for the official tests. These tests must
be made by June % and then after
several weeks of experimental work, the
Wrights propose to go to Germany to
fulfill their contracts there. Following
that they will go to England.

FIGHT FOR A CORPSE.
Father Refuses to Give Sons Body to
Dead Mans Wife.

Paris, Ill, May rs. Brensen Davis
has filled the grave of his son with ce-
ment and gravel. to prevent the re-
moval of the body by the widow of the
dead man. His action anticipated the
filing of a petition for injunction by
Mrs. Davis to prevent any interference
with her wish to remove the body.
Previously Davis had stood guard,
armed with a shotgun, over the grave.
The petition for injunction and a bill
in chancery were filed by the widow,
Mrs. Sarah Davis, of VermiIion Will
liam R. Davis. husband of the petit
tioneer. was killed in railroad acct
dent two years ago and buried in u
cemetery lot supposed to be owned
jointly by himself and his father Re
Gently the latter served notice on the
widow that the lot belonged solely to
him and that she could not be buried
there
Mrs. Davis thereupon began prepara-
tons for the removal of the body but
Davis mounted guard with a shotgun.
He also prepared to incase the caskct
in concrete. so that it could not be re-
moved. Sheriff Winn, who served the
injunction papers, found Davis had
completed the work tons of concrete
having been poured into the grave.
Mrs. Davis says she will ask for a de-
cree giving her the sole property rights
in the corpse with the privilege of re-
mOVal.

WANTS TO KICK HIM.
Gen. Grant Describes His Feelings
Toward Drunken Man.

Chicago, May 12.-Before the Chi
cago Young Mems Christian associa-
ton Mayor General Frederick D.
Grant delivered an eloquent plea for
temperance.
81 am not a prohibitionist," he
said II believe that regulation can
accomplish more than prohibition at
present, but 1 do believe the in
dividual can be a teetotaler. If you
will allow me two glasses of cham
payne and one drink of whisky in
eighteen years, then 1 can claim to
have practiced what I preach.
1.-The reason l urge that In young
men is because I have found 1t an
invariable rule that where man
drinks but sparingly only getting
drunk once in a great while, he al
ways chooses for that periodical jag
the worst possible time.
''Then [ have a certain feeling to-
ward a man that is drunk. 1 never
have been in a private residence In
Chicago or on the streets of the city,
or any of the other places in the
world where I have been, and seen a
man intoxicated but that [ have felt
like kicking him."

judiciary Committee of the Chi

Decides to Raise the Limit on
Women's Hats.
NO MORE FLAT ONES
viii Be Possible to Wear Three
Story Creations
Provided They Do Not Add Too
Much to Heels.
o MORE FLAT ONES

Chicago, May 1.-THE city coun-
CHS gallant judiciary committee has
removed the limit on the height of
women's hats. 1t has decided on a
city ordinance which will permit the
construction of three-story hats.
The alderman have no patience
with the Elgin minister, Chicago
theater owners or Illinois legislators,
who are attempting to interfere with
the Magma Charta rights of Chicago
women to wear any size or shaped
head adornment which pleases their
fancy. Therefore the aldermen pro-
pose to raise the awnings All must
be hoisted to a height of eight feet
and six full inches above the sidewalk
level.
Alderman Lipps was the man who
discovered the reason for the
"squatty' hats. He noticed that it is
not possible for the women to walk
under an awning in many places
without ''ducking". So he had the
ordinance prepared He also thought
higher awnings would be of benefit to
tall men and to those who wear thea
ter and silk hats.
"Of course, the women can't have
three-story hats, even with this ordi-
nance passed. if they add story to
the height of their shoe heels" said
one of the committeeman.

ROSTERS MUST GO.
They Will No Longer Be Allowed in
District of Columbia.

Washington. May 12-Roosters may no
longer be kept in the District of Col
umbia. This is the principal burden
of the new chicken regulations promul-
gated by the health department of the
district. The rules specify under what
conditions chickens may be kept, stip-
ulating just what care must be given
the chicken houses and yards. But the
gem of this series of Chicken regula-
tons is the following:
"VI-No roosters may be kept on the
premises"
A fine of from 50 to $40 a day is pro-
vided for all violations. The police say
they are tired of the complaints of
citizens who own alarm clocks and
don't want to be awakened by cock
CROW. Hence the rule.
