LIGHTS DISCUSSED.
Council Have up the New Light
ing Scheme.

The council spent nearly all of
Tuesday evening discussing the pro-
posed ornamental lights for Atlantic
avenue. The Improvement Union
committee. consisting of c. A. Dus-
HEX. F. R. Putnam, N. Vinje, J. J.
J. McCanney and C. A. Lee were
present and opened the discussion by
presenting tentative plans for the in
stallation of about thirty lights. The
committee has been able to obtain
some information as to the cost of the
installation of the lights and found
that it run from $50 to 500 in diffe-
rent cities. Regarding the cost of
running the lights much depends upon
the schedule, altho there is consider
able difference in the rate in different
towns. In Glenwood, the top lights
of the cluster are run at the same
rate as the arc lights, and the city is
charged $50 month extra for run
ming all the lights during the busy
part of the evening.
S. Stewart was present and took
part in the discussion. He spoke
particularly of the great expense
which would attend the removal of
the poles into the alleys, and ven
tured the assertion at first that the
total expense of installing the lights
and changing the poles would make
the lights cost from $500 to $500 a
light.
These figures, however. were based
upon a misnapprehension of what
changes it was proposed to make, and
after considerable discussion it was
ascertained that besides the installa-
tion of the lights themselves. the
principal expense would be the chang
ing of the line on Atlantic avenue to
the alley and the changing of the
various wires running to the stores.
Another complication arises here,
however, from the fact that both
sides of the alley are at present oc-
cupied by the two telephone compan-
les.
All of the discussion was informal,
and at the end the committee were
toldto go into the matter fully and
report their conclusions.
Engineer Cole reported on the pro-
ject to straighten Seventh street
from where it turns to go across the
N. p. track to the Satter corner, that
a promise of an easement had been
obtained from L. C. Spooner and also
from R. Tschudi, and that the only
piece left to be arranged was that
across F. Dohms reich's land. Mr..
Dohmstreich was present, and an
agreement was reached to allow him
damages Of $3.50.
The sidewalk on the west side Of
Atlantic avenue was ordered continued
from J. J. Geib's property to join
the walk to the depot. This will
cost about $3.50 and must be paid by
the city unless the Great Northern
will help.
Engineer Cole said that different
qualities of sidewalks and crossings
were being constructed, and recon-
mended that there be standard specl-
fcations for a standard walk and
a standard crossing, and the council
ordered his to prepare same.

PASSENGERS ARE SAFE.
Efforts Are Now Being Made to Save
the Princess Irene.

Lone Hill Life Saving Station, April
S.-Daybreak today showed the wreck
ed steamer Princess Irene in a position
which varied only few degrees from
that of yesterday. The efforts of the
tugs at high tide and the action Of a.
veering wind had swung her nose a lit
tie further off shore.
Changing of the wind into the
north east, with the appearance of
grayish clouds on the horizon were
regarded as ominous.
"A northeaster and a hard blow
coming was the way it was inter-
preted by surf men.
However, with the passengers all
safely landed and the keel of the ship
fiat in a bed of sand, a blow of mod
crate intensity will not have the ter
rors which it would have had "a hours
ago. The fleet of tugs anchored hard
by insured ample assistance in emerg-
ency.
The work of tightening the cargo
began at o'clock. Only one lighter
was available for the work, but two
more were on their way, one from
New York and one from Boston. With
fair weather, it was expected a consid-
erabIe portion of the cargo could be
moved in 48 hours. Experts were of
the opinion that dredges would be
found necessary to shift the sands
from about her keel before she can be
hoated The customs authorities sent
INSPECTOR Dunbar out to the Lone Hill
station at daybreak with orders to su-
perintendent the Tightening of the
cargo

CURTIS WOULD KNOW.
Asks Opinions of Constituents on
Canadian Reciprocity.

Senator Charles Curtis wants the
opinion of Kansas people on the Cana
d1an reciprocity treaty. To learn it he
has sent letters of inquiry over the
state. The letter follows:
1.-The president has called an extra
session of congress to consider the re-
clprocal agreement with Canada. Per-
sonally, I have always opposed such
agreements on farm products because
believe we were giving more than
we received. We give them mark ct
of 90,0oO,000 people and they open to
us a market of only 100000 people.
Under the former agreement with
Canada, from 1854 to 1856, our exports
to that country dropped from $780,
100000 to $15,000,OOO a year, while
increased from $12,0OO,0O0 to
$46,OOO,OOO.
Under the pending agreement, food
and agricultural products, rough lum-
Der, some raw materials and printing
paper are to be put on the free list;
fresh and canned meats. flour and
manufactured food preparations, the
duty is reduced and made identical.
Upon manufactured commodities,
such as motor vehicles, cutlery, sani-
tary fixtures and miscellaneous arti-
cles, the duties are reduced. Canada
also reduces the duty on coal and ce-
ment, and the United States reduces
the duty on iron ore and aluminium
products.
'EI wish you would write me how
the people in your neighborhood feel
on this question, as 1 am anxious to
vote the sentiments of the people of
Kansas. If it has any effect upon the
people of Kansas 1 believe it's tendency
will be to depreciate the price of things
they produce without any correspond
ing benefit, and the Canadian agricul-
tural products which are admitted free
will have a great advantage over such
Kansas products along the northern
border of the United States"

HE ROBS The COOK.
Masked Bandit Holds Up Dining Car
Grew.

st. Louis. April s.-Iron Mountain
passenger train No. was boarded
last night within the city limit by an
armed and masked robber, who heldup
the white steward on the dining car,
four negro walters and a negro chef.
The robber, as far as has been dis
closed in reports to the police of the
occurrence, did not get more than $40.
The train is the same one on which a
Pacific Express company messenger
was held up and robbed a month ago
by two masked and armed men.
No arrests were made in the former
case, and the police are inclined to be-
lieve that one of the men who par
ticipated in the first holdup, embold
ened by his first success, probably was
the man who held UP the train last
night.
No passengers were mo1ested. The
robber got on the train at the Broad
way station in Carondolet and paid
cash fare to Union station. After the
only intervening stop was made at
Tower Grove. the robber left the day
coach, passed through the Pullmans,
halting long enough in the vestibule
of the diner to don his mask. Then
he invaded the car, hourishing his re-
voIver. The robbery was the work Of
only a few minutes. The robber back
ed out of the car and swung from the
platform into the railroad yards. Po-
lice have found no trace of him.

STORMS THE JAIL.
Georgia Mob Takes a Negro From
Prison and Hangs Him.

Lawrenceville, Ga, April Shortly
after midnight mob of 200 masked
men stormed the Jail here and Sc
cured a negro, Charles Hale, arrested
earlier in the night for assaulting Mrs.
C. G. Williams. They took him to a
corner in the business part of the. town
and after stringing him up on a tree,
riddled his body with bullets.
While Sheriff E. S. Garner was par
leying with the mob's ringleaders in
the yard of the Jail, three others
slipped behind and dealt him a heavy
blow on the head, rendering him un-
conscious. They then secured his keys
and made away with the prisoner.
Mrs Williams husband. a young
farmer, was away from home when
the negro slipped into the house and
seized her.
Williams, who is paralyzed in the
upper part of his body, found the ne
gro at the house on his return. Hale,
it is said, threatened both with death
If they revealed his crime.
AS soon as Hale disappeared Will
liams gave the alarm and Sheriff Gar
ner started a hunt with bloodhounds.
Three miles away the negro was cap
tured

MARKET IS INACTIVE.
Financial Community Is Waiting on
the Supreme Court.

New York. April s.-Extreme dull
ness prevailed in the stock market
throughout the week. Trading fell to
minor proportions and at no time was
there a semblance of public interest
Sentiment was more or less divided,
with a possible preponderance on the
bull side, but lack of initiative was
evident at all times.
The financial community continues
to wait on the United States supreme
court and it is now an accepted be-
lief that no change of the existing con-
ditions is likely until opinions in the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
cases have been rendered. General
business remains dull in practically all
sections and further depression is not
ed in the textile trade. Some improve
ment is shown in steel and iron, but it
is thought that United States Steels
tonnage for March will show a falling
off from that of the preceding month.
Money is even more easy than a
fortnight ago, with some further activ-
ity in over-year loans at lowest quo
tations of the year.

SCORES ARE DEAD
Alabama State COnvicts Killed
in an Explosion
In the Coal Mines 80 Miles From
Birmingham.
20 COME OUT ALIVE.
Men Were Hired From Counties
by the Company.
Cause Of the Disaster Is Not Yet
Known.

Littleton, Ala, April SIT is feared
that about sixty state and county con-
V1cts have been killed by a mysterious
explosion that occurred in the Banner
coal mine this morning. One hun
dred and seventy-f1ve miners were in
the underground workings when the
explosion occurred.
Convicts, hired from the various
counties through the state, are en-
ployed in the mines.
Early adVices from the scene are
meager. The explosion occurred at $40
and a large number are known to have
been killed.
Twenty men have come out of the
mines alive of the IT'S who went to work
this morning. 1t is believed the ma
Jority of the remainder are dead.
1t Is not known whether the explosion
was caused by gas or dust.
The explosion occurred far under
ground. Most of the miners are ne
groes. At 1870 a. m. between 40 and
so men had been taken out of the
mine. A number of them were more
or less seriously injured and two, both
negroes, were dead.
RescuerS are going down into the
mines as rapidly as possible.
The explosion came after the night
crew was out and before the day crew
of free miners had entered the mine.
There were 165 convicts and 10 free
miners in the working at the time of
the explosion.
The greatest damage has been done
to a new shaft known as No. 2. The
fan in this shaft was destroyed, max
ing the rescue work more difficult. 1t
is believed half of the rest are dead
and the total may exceed that number.
Thirty whites are in the mine yet.

and his wife had departed when as
sistance reached Hagan.
At first Hagan denied that he knew
who did the shooting. In her rush to
escape, however, the woman dropped
her purse in the bottom of the buggy,
and this evidence, combined with the
story OF people who had seen Hagan

Hagan went to Independence early in
the afternoon and rented a horse and
buggy from a liveryman. He said he
wanted to drive out north of the city.
He was returning to the livery barn
when the shooting took place
Hagan IS prominent in politics He
was once a member of the board of
public works. Later he was employed
at the court house and as a clerk in

The supreme court has dismissed
the application of George SillS of
Kingman county for writ of habeas
corpus to release him from the custody
of the Juvenile court. Sills was
charged with contributing to the de-
Iinouency of a sixteen-year-old girl.
He asked the complaint against him
be dismissed in the lower court on
the ground that the juvenile court law
was unconstitutional. The court re-
fused to dismiss the complaint and
Sills asked to be released from custody
under habeas corpus of the supreme
court. This was refused as the case
had never been tried in the lower
court and until this was finished the
supreme court would refuse to decide
the constitutionality of the juvenile
court law.

ONE THOUSAND STRONG.
Mexican Force Rush to Recapture
Town of Arizpe.

Cananea, April s.-One thousand Mexican
federal soldiers, including cavalry and in
fantry regulars, volunteers and Yaqua
Indians, arrived in Sonora last evening by
special train from the scene of the recent
fighting in the vicinity of Hermosillo.
The troops are commanded by Lieutenant
Colonel Diaz, Commandant Barron and
Prefect Chiapa. The soldiers occupied four
teen coaches and their horses, mules, sup
plies and ammunition filled nine box cars.
The troops were rushed hither to take
the field against the rebels who a few
days ago occupied the important town of
Arizpe near kere. They will be sent to
Arizpe from Cananea at once.
Colonel Ojeda, who commanded the gov
ernment forces at Ures, is on his way
overland from Ures to Arizpe with 300
men and will form a junction with the
troops from Cananea in the vicinity or
Arizpe.
The government soldiers are well armed
and with their experience in the Urez and
Aqua Prieta engagements are the best
fighters the government has in Sonora:
Commandante Barron had been reported
killed at Ures and his appearance here to-
day was in the nature of a surprise.
