Brother Holds Man on Top of Passen-
ger Train.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 10.-Wil-

have lost their lives at this tunnel in
the same manner. The living brother

tend Coronation Celebration.

Leavenworth. Kan, May 10.-Col.
Edmund Burke, an Englishman,
claiming to be scion of nobility, was
released from the federal prison here
after serving three year sentence for
impersonating a United States officer.
Burke was sentenced from st. Louis
on January 13, 1909, and got some
time allowed him for good conduct
while in prison.
From here Burke went to st. Louis
He said before leaving the prison that
he intended to return to England and
expected to take part in the coronation
services.
Prior to being sentenced to prison,
Burke figured in several escapades in
st. Louis that brought him much
newspaper notoriety. On one occasion,
while stopping at a prominent hotel
there with his bride of few weeks,
he cashed a forged check. For this
he was sentenced to a year in the St.
Louis workhouse. His bride, who was
the daughter of a wealthy farmer re-
siding near Decatur, ILL.,, obtained a
divorce and returned to her home.

Farmer Tries to Commit Suicide,
Dodges Bullet, Starts Story.

Beloit. Kan, May 10.-Robert BaIou.
who caused much excitement here last
Friday night by showing up with a
wounded forearm and saying that he
had been shot by a person who had
previously threatened his life, has not
only admitted that he shot himself but
also that he recently wrote a letter to
Riley Flynn, neighbor, demanding
81, 000. Sheriff Giants arrested Balou.
Balou says he planned to commit sui
eide and thus he happened to shoot
himself About the time he pressed
the trigger of the revolver he decided
he did not want to die, so he lodged the
bullet. 1t missed a vital part of his
body but lodged in an arm. A love
affair is said to be the cause of the
Young mans peculiar actions.

Another sentiment is developing

moral monument for the dead SOL

sui OF the opinion that effort should
oe concentrated on raising $500 for
small shaft within a few months
Ihelr loea is to place the small. in
expensive monument in the Rochester
cemetery where many soldiers are
buried
Those who favor the latter plan say
they nave hope that in time the
street railway will be extended to the
Rochester cemetery by way of the re-
form school. In this case they think
that the cemetery will be much more
accessible than at present and that
1t might pay to erect a. larger me-
mortal shaft there in time than the
six foot one in view
As to the idea of placing it in Cen
tral Avenue park where it will be in
sight of many people every hour of
IiAC Udy' anu SIduu as an object les
son In patriotism for the school chill
dren, the opinion is divided. One of
the members of the G. A. r. expressed
this way: while the placing the
memorial monument in Central Ave
nue. park would be in harmony with
the idea of an object lesson, still many
of US feel that it would be out OF
place there. 1t is true that Roches-
ter cemetery is out of the way at pres
ent. and comparatively few people go
there now, consequently a monument
would be more for the dead than the
living. However, many of us think
that as so many soldiers are buried
there it is the fitting rlace, in har-
mony and in place. Then also we
have a vision a hope that the To-
peka street railway which now
reaches the north city limits on Tyler
street will in the near future be ex-
tende to the metery by way of the
reform school. 1 believe that the
work of this institution alone with the
constant going and coming of visitors
and employees would give enough
patronage to such an extension to pay
for it -

EoOD HORSE BUYING POINT
Should Not Have Too Much
Daylight Between Hind Lsus-tts
Main Pulling Strength.

6x e. Il
Father taught me n rule about
buying a horse which l have always
observed and l md It works ont right
every time. He said eve buy .
horse that shows too much daylight
between his hind leu-that 10 II he
seems to be split up too high you may
be sure that he lacks power. A
horses main pulling strength comes
from his hind legs and back and he
should be low On the ground. He also
taught me never to buy . horse which
had the tendency to stand on the
toes of his hind feet because such
horses will invariably go stif and
lame IN time. A good draft horse must
stand nat on the ground. His feet
must be large and his legs fat and his
muscles supple.
