STEALING FROM GOLD COINS
Secret Service Agents Trying to Trace
Robbers With New Form Of
Gold Trimming.

Secret service agents Of the United
States government have been working
for some time in Maiden lane. New
York. in an effort to trace robbers who
have devised a new form Of coin TRIM
ming. Gold coins are put in . burlap
bag and shaken briskly for an hour or
two. The result Is that tiny pieces of
the metal are knocked on the surface
and edges and cling to the bag. The
coins are then put into circulation ap-
parently no more worn nor battered
than most money that has been In use
for year or two. The bag Is burned
up and this leaves the melted gold.
which is gathered up and sold to the
jewelry manufacturers. The subtreas-
ury and the treasury department at
Washington have been receiving large
quantities of gold coins Of recent date
which are short In weight from to
Is per cent. and which seem to be
worse battered than coins subjected to
the usual wear and tear. On micro
scopic investigation they discovered
that the gold pieces had been subject
ed to some violent treatment and they
sought clews and discovered the meth
cd of stealing from the coins by sha-
king them in a sack.

Pittsburg, Kan, Aug 29.-By a
vote of thirteen to five the conference
committee of the Union miners in the
southwestern fields today decided in
FAVOR of open negotiations with the OPP
orators to draft a contract upon the

According to the members of the
conference the miners are ready to ac-

and submit it to each side for a re-

Last Two Days.
Col. Roosevelt Will Arrive at
$3.50 A. N. Wednesday.
STUBS WILL PRESIDE
Spanish War Veterans Will
Take Part in Parade.
Congressman Calderhead Will
Deliver Address First Day.

Osawatomie, Kan, Aug. 29.-In the
battle field at the outskirts of this viii
lage where Sc years ago John Brown,
the fighting Abolitionist, with hand
full of stern free state men. stood off
ten times his number of pro-slavery
guerrillas. Theodore Roosevelt next
Wednesday will deliver an address
dedicating the historic ground as a
state park.
A tract of % acres. the supposed
scene of the battle of Osawatomie, was
purchased some time ago by the Wo-
mems Relief Corps of the Kansas G. A.
r. and given to the state. 1t will be
called John Brown park.
The program of the dedication will
cover two days, August 80 and August
81 Col. Roosevelt will arrive here at
$3.50 in the morning of the 31st. First
he will be taken to visit the old log
cabin just west of the town where with
his stalwart sons John Brown lived UNI
til after the fight that gave him the
name "Osawatomie" Brown. he left the
neighborhood and finally drifted back
east and to Harpers Ferry
After luncheon Col. Roosevelt, escort
ed by a troop of Spanish war veterans,
will take part in a parade to the
grandstand in the new park where he
will be introduced by Governor StubDs
of Kansas.
The first day of the exercises is to be
given over to martial music, patriotic
Rotations and a speech by Congress
man w. A. Calderhead of Kansas. The
battle of Osawatomie on Aug 30, 1856,
tn first instance in which the anti
slavery men of Kansas known as the
free state party, showed organized re-
sistance to the bands of pro-slavery
marauders, commonly called "ruffiansh
in that day, came as the direct result
of the sack of Lawrence, the head
quarters of the free state party. This
brought matters to a head. EmboIdened
by success the pro-slavery leaders
openly avowed a policy of extermina
ton. Most of the dare devil marauders
who made up their fighting ranks were
guerillas from Missouri.
John Brown, who had just come from
the east, was the first to inspire his
party to armed resistance. few
received word that 400 'ruffians'' under
General j. W. Ried, were marching on
Osawatomie. He hastily collected Il
supporters and armed them. Station
ing himself at the edge of wood he
held the "ruffians" at bay in spite of
their cannon. until further resistance
meant massacre. Most of Browns
men escaped by swimming the Marias
Des Cygnes river. He lost six men kill
ed and seven captured. The loss to the
''ruffians" has been reported at from
10 to 30.
The only three survivors of the battle
so far as known will be here to attend
the dedication. They are Edward P
Bridgeman of Madison, Wis, who will
have three sons with him; D. w. Col
its of Santa Monica. Cal, and Luke F.
Parsons of Salina, Kan.

TESTING WHEAT AT X. S. A. C.
Manhattan College Mills the Grain and
Makes 1t Into Bread.

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. 29.-The true
value of a variety of wheat is in the
kind of bread 1t will make. Mr. F1tz'
head of the milling industry depart
ment at K S. A. c.. has a small flour
mill and bakery combined in his lab
oratory in the physical science build
ing in which he can determine this
value. Here it is possible to take
sample of wheat. mill it in the mill
(the only certain way to tell whether
it will make good flour or not), then
to test it further a sponge is set and
after the proper kneading and raising
it is put in the electric oven to bake.
After having made such tests it is
not at all hard for the milling depart
ment to tell the value of any certain
wheat. Many mills over the state car
ry on these baking tests regularly in
order that they may know what their
flour will do but nowhere in the state
is there a miniature flour mill where
it is possible to make q test like this
on small amount of wheat.
