Submerging of the Ego.

Back in his home city, in the blue
grass empire, says Brooklyn Life, they
love to tell some good stories Of their
much honored John G. Carlisle and
those pleasant nights at the banquet
board illuminated with the scintillant
wit. Occasionally, too, the aftermath
of the banquet board comes in for a
share of Renaissance.
Two men of the bright coterie gath
cred about Senator Carlisle in those
rare times will not soon be forgotten
In their section-one the aristocratic
and big-brained Hamilton, the other
the witty and irresistible Irish coun-
selor and orator, Hallam.
With Carlisle, they made a trio of
cronies seldom matched. All lived on
Garrard avenue, and to this day the
older residents along that street re-
call with tender reminiscent grins how
gallantly the three would oft escort
one another home in the hours "ayant
the twal."
But one night (or morning?) there
was a strange perplexity. The bell of
the Carlisle residence kept ringing dis
tractedly. Neighbors peeped out, see
ing only the three familiars on the top
step. Wouldn't the latchkey work?
Finally an upper window opened
and the madam, never overpatient with
this state of things, asked, in exas-
perated tones:
What is the matter down there?'
Mrs. Carlisle" answered Hallam,
with a. tongue rather less glib than
VS. it's wont, eve have brought home
the senator"
"Oh, WE'LL" she returned, impatient
ly, ''just stand him up in the doorway
and go on. I'll come and get him."
I'VE would gladly do it, madam" re-
joined the Irishman, debonairely,
"Only-you will have to come down
and pick him out"

''I have had occasion to open graves
that have been dug for so years and
the earth is soft and permeable to the
bottom. I have opened old wells that
have been filed and could follow the
sides all the way down by the diff
ference in the. density of the soil. My
conclusions from these observations
was that clay once disturbed to a
depth of four feet will never pack to
it's original condition, and for that rea-
son will always hold it's moisture and
plant food for the growth of crops.
e'The cost of breaking land to this
depth has been the question horse
power can not be considered, the cost
of digging is prohibitive. It seemed
to me that the only key to the difficult
ty lay in the use Of dynamite. I be-
gan by exploding a stick Of dynamite
in each of my watermelon hills, and
the resulting increase amounting to
SO per cent of the crop allowed me to
pay for the dynamite and have an in
creased profit besides. I next tried
blowing a cotton field in the usual
manner, and after plowing, harrow it
thoroughly and charged two of it with
rs pounds of dynamite to the acre.

The dynamite cartridges were put TWO
feet apart in rows marked with .
single shovel plow. The method OF
planting the cartridges was simple:
one man walked ahead with a crow
bar and stuck it into the ground about
three feet; the man following affixed
a percussion cap to the stick Of dyna-
mite and two feet of fuse and stamped
into the hole with a rake handle, fill
ally leaving only the white fuse pro-
truding. incidentally the dynamite
used was of the strength ordinarily
used for blasting stumps and is not
as costly as that used in rock quarries.
After the planting of the dynamite
charges a large crowd of the native
population gathered near the field Of
operations to witness what they re-
garded as the novel whim of one of
their most progressive farmers. The
negroes of the locality did not knoH
what to make of the proceedings and
lccoked with awe upon the operations
calculated to wrench from nature the
productive crops she refused to yield
to their simple methods. The explod-
ing of the charged field was not with
out its amusing side. Many of the
nearby neighbors, hearing that sew
eral hundred pounds of dynamite were
to be exploded, removed household be-
longings and adjourned to their fur
thest premises, window frames we're
taken out and the sheriff, instructed to
hold up the exploding Of the charged
field, made a formal call upon Mr.
Caldwell to come to an agreement in
regard to the inevitable damages
which the neighbors felt sure would
ensue
In exploding the field, four rows
were set off at a time, one man going
rapidly down each row lighting fuses
with a red hot iron as he went. The
result was not unlike the setting off
Of a great bunch of frecrackers. The
explosions came thick and fast and
both the sub and surface soils were
sent into the air in clouds, again fall
ing on the land in a powdery mist and
leaving periodical holes where the
cartridges were planted about four
and half feet deep. In one case
where twelve rows were set off at the
same time the effect was quite awe
inspiring, the reports were blended
into a continuous roar and the row Of
a dozen men lighting fuses were pur-
sued by an ever rising wave of soil.
The danger to the men lighting the
fuses is trifing, as is shown by the
photographs of the operations.
After the charges are exploded the
field looks not unlike a great colan-
der set with innumerable holes where
the charges of dynamite were sent,
and the soil is broken up into unusu-
ally fine particles and we'll aerated.

STATES STAR WITNESS.
In the Murder Case Against John Babb
Is Absent 4

]. F. Snare, the star witness for the
prosecution in the John Babb murder
case, which is docketed to begin in the
morning, may not be on hand. He lives
at Derby, Kan, some Is miles FROM
Wichita, and was on the Santa Fe
train when Babb shot and killed Will
liam Smart, a negro, as the train rolled
into Topeka.
His testimony, more than any other,
caused Judge Simon of the city court
to bind Babb over to the district court
at the preliminary hearing of the case.
County Attorney Schenck, who is con-
Quoting the prosecution, is worried
over the outlook.
The trouble centers in Sheriff Rich
ard Cogsdell at Wichita A subpoena
for Snare was sent CogsdeI1 November
s. No return has been made on 1t and
the clerk of the Shawnee court, r. L.
Thomas, telephoned this morning to
learn what was wrong. CogsdelPs
deputy replied that the subpoena had
just been sent out today from that Of
flee
Further doubt that the witness could
reach here, was expressed by the Wich-
tia office in saying that Snare was a
poor man and would not have the
money to pay his fare to Topeka. Zine
chance we now have to send him
money" said Attorney Schenck. The
prosecutor was not sparing in criticism
of the methods of the Wichita sheriff
for he depends heavily on Snares tes-
timony.
A special venire of jurymen was
drawn today at the order of Judge
Dana. The present quota was deemed
insufficient to fill the box under the
elimination of the Babb trial.
Besides the Babb trial, the case Of
Mary VOllstedt, the Oakland wife who
loved and shot Lee Daniels, will be
tried and also that of the five colored
men, Will and Harve Wheeler. Boots
Henderson, Oscar Gay, Sam King and
Jim Drane. charged with stealing a
number of shotguns and rifles from
the FOUGHT hardware store in North
Topeka. The three criminal trials are
expected to occupy the time of the
court the remainder of this and part
of next week.

A HERD OF BUFFALO.
Wisconsin Offers to Send Them to To-
peka to Start Zoo.


Topeka may have a geological gar
den. Joshua Hill, president of the
Oakland County Savings bank of
Pabla, Wisconsin, has written a letter
to Mayor Billiard offering the city a
herd of buffalo under certain condi-
lions. Here is the letter:
Hon. Mayor, City of Tojeka, Kan.
Dear Sir: I include in this address
the council and park commission. I
have seven fine buffalo from the wild
Pablo herd in a preserve here. I have
an offer for them but as I put price
take them. Prefer a city get them as
room given them. If they don't take
them, I have decided to present them
to Topeka for use of the state visitors
there. The first money Fever earned
was in Topeka. Was for twenty years
quite successful in business, but my
health became impaired. Some way,
1 feel that Topeka and Kansas are
more entitled to them than elsewhere.
Mr.. W. F. Hornaday, superintendent of
Bronx Park, New York zoo, saw them
this fall. They are certainly fine and
healthy. I can't stay here over four
months of the year and have decided
to give them up. AS season is getting
late for shipment, write you now. I
will have to donate them in thier en-
closure as not able to handle them
now myself and your people know
more about stock. Help is very hard
to get here, being factory town, all
busy and not stockmen. Will give par
ty a few days more on offer.

MEXICO LOOSENS UP.
American Prisoners VIII No Longer Be

Washington, Nov. 15.-The Mexican
government has broken through the
old tradition of American GRIM

American consul at Guadalajara to
communicate with Carol Carothers,
the American merchant, who was
placed under arrest last week for kill
ing a 14-year-old Mexican boy and
wounding a gendarme while defending
his home against rioters. The state
department, moreover, has received a
copy of a decree issued by the Mexi-
can government last Saturday granting
to foreign prisoners otherwise incom-
municado, the right to communice%e
freely and in person with the resident
consul of their own country.
This action will tend very much to
prevent friction and international dis

CITY AFTER STATE
Officials VIII Make Demands for
$4,000 Paving Debt.
Has Been Hanging Fire in Leg
isIature Since Year 1887.
WILL SEE EVERY MAN.
Mayor Billiard Says Big Claim
Will Be Pushed.
Interest Is Now Larger Than
Original Debt.
WILL SEE EVERY MAN.

For . years the city of Topeka has
been trying to collect public DEBT
from the state of Kansas. At the next
session of the state legislature in jan
uary the city officials will send repre-
sentatives to the Hobbies and committee
meetings at the state house for the
twelfth biennial time in the lifelong
attempt to collect a legal Indebtedness.
A statement amounting to almost $70.-
900 will be presented this winter and
the city commissioners insist that
something must be done.
The debt is for paving and repairing
the streets around the state house, the
governors mansion and the state print
ing plant. Part of the Indebtedness
runs since the year 1887 and some of it
is as recent as last year. The entira
principal of the amount does not equal
the interest which has been placed
upon it on account of the failure of the
state to pay.
The matter has been referred to the
state legislature and the attorney gen
eraI every two years as far back as
old time city officials can remember
and the same story has come back at
the end of the session. 1t seems that
the legislatures have either postponed
the matter for the next body to take
UP or they have neglected it on purpose
to cause Of postpOnement.
to obtain the money. This is the first
year under the commission form of
government and the commissioners feel
that it is their duty as a new munich
pal organization to get this 900 for
the people and relieve the city of the
debt.
Arrangements and plans are being
made at this time to work with the leg
islature for the money. A complete
statement, detailed, is being prepared
in the office of the city clerk. This
statement explain every feature of the
debt since the year 1888 to the present
time.
It is a noticeable fact that of the
old debt amounting to about $4,000
the interest of per cent in the time
has amounted to $500 more than the
principal. More than s32, 900 for the
original debt and practically S33, 600 in
