DOWNFALL OF
The HOUSE OF
B. Il. SnEfTELS
RUMORED THAT NEW YORK
FIRM Is CLOSED BY POST
OFFICE OFFICIALS.

Private advices received in Tono-
pah today announced the downfall
of the New York brokerage firm of
B. II. Sheftals & Company. The
reports were somewhat contradict
|ory, but it is understood that the
postoffice officials have arrested the
officers of the company on the
charge of using the mails with an
intent to defraud. It has long
been of common knowledge that
the government officials were watch
ing every action of George Graham
Rice, who is practically the head
of the Sheftals company. Rice has
an unsavory reputation, having once
run afoul of the law in his career
as high financier.
About a month ago the firm was
in trouble, but matters were ar
ranged satisfactory with the hold
o-s of stock who demanded their
certificates. Tie exact cause of
todays report could not be as
certained.

LOS ANGELES, Ctl., Sept Is
That the American Mining congress
will declare itself hostile to the
Pinchot policy of conservation is
now considered certain, but the res
olution will likely be qualified with
declaration in favor of conser-
vaticn in the sense of preservation
of mining and other resources from
waste. The resolutions committee
is working tonight on mass of
proposals mostly opposed to the
Pinchot policy. Their recommends
tion will probably denounce the
land withdrawal act On the floor
of the convention such a resolution
is likely to, meet with vigorous
opposition, but it is expected to
cary by majority.

Putting money into the state fair

true that all OF the state fairs are max

to the effect that a state fair should
be held in the capital city. In six out
of nine states which have successful

BEGIN new ADDITION.
Work on Chesterfield Hotel Under
Way-To Cost $4,000.

Work has been begun on the new
three-story 20 room addition to the
Chesterfield hotel. The first floor in
the addition will be leased for mer-
camille purposes and the other stories
will serve as an addition to the hotel
proper.
Beside the addition Fowler & Ross,
the owners, are remodeIling the house
throughout New and larger rooms
are being made and there will not
when the new addition is completed,
be an inside room in the building.
The new rooms will be for the best
trade and will be finished in q man
ner that will make them second to
none of the state. The flooring will be
of tile and brentwood will be used in
finishing. Baths will be installed in
every room. The work now begun
will be rushed so as to have the ad-
dition completed within a few weeks,
and ready for use this spring.
Plans for the addition and the re-
modelling of the house call for an ex-
penditure of $4,000. The addition
joins the present structure on the
south and the beginning of the work
marks another step in the removing
of old shacks which have long been
an eyesore on lower Kansas avenue.

WALRUS CIRCUS NOW ON
Big Show Holds Boards at Central Y.
M. G. A.

1.-THE I. B. Hangback and the u. B.
Walrus circus held last night at the
Central Y. NJ. C. A. included every
thing one finds at a real show from
red lemonade and peanuts to animals
which were advertised to have come
from the African jungles.
A dozen clowns under the direction
of George H. Beecher, formerly of
Ringing Brothers circus, kept things
in a lively state from start to finish,
and there were other laugh producers
in great variety. A collection of "curi-
included a real live donkey which
turned white with fear-if that were
possible-when human giraffe made
its entrance into the ring. The poor
was with great dificulty that the
clowns induced the brute to get it's
dander up, and bring down the house
with laughter on account of its left
hind foot action.
Possibly the most thrilling part of
the entertainment was Clusters last
stand" A troop of United States cav
airy was attacked by horde of fero-
cious savages, under the leadership of
Sitting Bull, and the din of battle was
appalling for few minutes. Then
there was wild and bowling dance by
the Sioux.
Among the attractions of the side
show included a wild man, Siamese
twins, a fat lady, a living skeleton and
wild beasts of the jungle.
There were other features aside from
those that were intended to make one
smile. Since September last, the gym
nasium classes have been training for
this annual event and some very ciev-
er drills were included on the program.
Small boys initiated the games of the
ancient Greeks; there was a pugilistic
match a tumbling troupe which re-
ceived the applause of those present;
drills with steel wands. and dancing by
a troupe of Scotch Highlanders''-in
fact the performance was full of in
terest from start to finish. second
performance will be given this evening.

HOTEL MAN IS FINED.
Charles Mcdaniel of Clyde Taxed 500
Had No Fire Escapes.

Charles Mcdaniel, proprietor of the
Commercial hotel at Clyde, has been
fined 500 for failure to provide his
hotel with fire escapes, as required by
law.
It is likely that the Clyde hotel was
not over a two-story affair and the
e1Iests could have jumped from the
roof on to the lawn without any par
ticular injury. but the law provides for
the installation of fire escapes in all
hotels and the idea is not to put UP
with any discrimination. The sky
scraper and the country boarding
house must both enter the ark of the
covenant together.

BOARD ALLEGES FRAUD.
State Body Seeks to Have Ripley Set
Element Voided.

The state board of control will bring
action in the Montgomery county dis
trict court to set aside the settlement IF
the estate of Sylvester Ripley on the
grounds of fraud. Ripley had been an
inmate Of the Osawatomie state hos
pital for 13 years before his death in
1906, and not cent had been paid for
his maintenance there although it was
known that he had an estate. At the
time of his death the board put in a
bill for 81, 600 against the estate.
The supreme court decision of recent
date held that the board could collect
from estates of insane persons in such
cases as this. So the board will bring
suit to collect its bill.
