PRIZE KANSAS FISH STORY.
John I. Brown of Minneapolis, Kan,
Tells How Fish Was Caught in Log.

Mr.. John L Brown of Minneapolis,
Kan, who is visiting his brother-in-
law, Chief Justice W. A. Johnston of
the Kansas supreme court, brought
with him fish story that might be
doubted were it told by any one else,
but man of Mr.. Browns recognized
veracity. Here is the story:
A mum Der of men who were running
a portable saw mill on the banks Of
the Solomon river decided to devote
some of their spare time to fishing
The water in the river is very low and
they wandered along the bank seek
ing suitable place to cast their
hooks. One of them noticed large
hollow log, partly submerged, and go
ing down into the water he plunged
his arm into the log. His hand came
in contact with a large fish and he
pulled it out safely. It was an eight
pound carp. Not satisfied with lis
exploration the man again inserted
his arm into the log. This time he felt
nibble on his fingers and he forced
his arm in full length into what prov
ed to be the mouth Of an enOrm ouS
catfish. The fish closed its jaws and
then began a struggle in which the
strength of the woodsman was match
ed against that of the fish. The fish
was finally dragged out with the mans
arm still in its mouth, but he at last
succeeded in forcing his hand out,
Though the act removed all the SKIN
from the back of his hand and wrist
and the fisherman viii carry the
marks of the encounter to the grave.
The fish was killed and found to be
q river cat which weighed At pounds.
It's presence in the log is accounted
for that the fish hunt for cool places
during extremely hot weather such
as Kansas has had for two or three
weeks.

a good gain of II per cent.
John Purcell, superintendent of the
Santa Fe shops, has a trained horse
a black beauty that he drives every
day. 1t will go through every circus
stunt demanded by his master.
1t is a wonder that an accident does
not befall the young motorcyclists who
race over the city with their girls on
the front bars. A bad tire or a skid
would spill the pair all over the pave
ment.
Eugene B. Stotts, secretary of the
Happy Ann Cleanser company of To-
peka, is out in western Kansas in the
interests of the company This com
pany viii build a manufacturing plant

this in the future.
The boys who have been swimming
in the Kaw river say the fish are so
hungry this dry weather that they nID-
BILE at the boys toes. In the shady
hooks in the river the boys chase the
fish in the water and several of them
have been caught in this manner.
Now that the ball team has won a
few games, the fans in town are up
and hollering again. Topeka would be
the best baseball town on the Western
league map if good team could be
organized for the city. With the new
spirit and material now on the club,
business should pick up.
Hutchinson is following every To-
peka move in the state fair PROPOSE
ton. Topeka decided to celebrate the
suit. Topeka decided to have towns
send floats and Hutchinson tagged
along. In other words the real sta te
fair will lead in all attractions.
A Topeka man was taken on a trip
in Texas by two of his friends in a
ulOtOE car. Along lonely ROAD al
dusk the Topeka guest stepped out Of
the tonneau-he was in it alone-and
the men in the front seat didn't know
it until they had driven Is miles ahead.
Then they came back and found him
so mad that he wouldn't speak to
them. What would you have done?
Here is a tip for the man who wants
to ask favor of the general manager
of the Santa Fe and wishes to talk to
him when he is in excellent spirits.
Before you enter the general mana
gers Office inquire of Henry Lautz as

on time and Mr.. Lautz has report ed
the fact to General Manager Kouns-
just walk right in.

WEEKLY MARKET SUMMARY.
Crop Estimates Disappoint Bull Party
Bond Market Dull.

New York, July 15.-Speculation
based upon crop prospects resulted in
animated fluctuations of stocks early
IN the week, following which the mar
ket fell into a state of unusual dull
ness. Operators whose expectations Of
a favorable government crop report
led them to buy stock bid up prices
sharply. The official figures were dis
appointing to the bull party. and the
market fell off. Stocks recovered
later, majority of traders taking the
position that the outlook still favored
good crops, despite the damage infiict-
ed by drouth and intense heat.
The market for bonds became dull
demand apparently having been re-
duced temporarily by the recent large
offerings of new issues. Rates for
time money showed a hardening ten
dency
Reports of improvements in the
steel trade We're confirmed by the I'M
expectedly large increase in the total
of untitled orders of the United States
Steel corporation at the end of June.
The monthly report of the copper
producers also indicated a more pro-
nounced Improvement than had been
looked for. the export movement IN
particular having been heavy.

MoRGAN's WATER BILL HIGH.
Every Time Servant Waters Lawn Tax
Will Be "Hiked'' So.

New York, July 15.-Because one of
his employees watered his lawn with
the hose last night, J. P. Morgan will
be notified on Monday that an adoi-
tional tax Of IS has been placed against
his property at Thirty sixth street and
Madison avenue.
A policeman saw the servant sprink-
ling Mr.. Morgan's grass and promptly
made a report of the matter to his
station house. The report was forward
ed to the commissioner of water, gas
and electricity. If Mr.. Morgan's ser
wants waters the grass about his man

City Of Topeka Will Buy New
Auto Fire Apparatus.
Chiefs Wagon and a COmbima-
ton Hose chemical.
DO AWAY WITH HORSES
This Will BE Eventual Move in
Fire Department.
Cost Of First Equipment Will
Be 5000.
DO AWAY WITH HORSES

The budget for the expenses of the
hre department which is being compiI-
ed by G. o. Wilmarth fire marshal. in
Guides two motor apparatuses for use
IN Topeka beginning January. 1912.
This move on the part of Chief VIII
narth is signal for the eventual re-
equipment of the entire Topeka fire de-
partment. 1t is the initial movement
70 dc' away with all horses and all old
time hcrss-draWn fire wagons.
IN ms requsltlon to tie board Of
city com mis- sioners Chief Wilmarth
asks for one chief and general insDee-
ton motor driven wagon. This viii be
equipped With fire eNtinguishers fire
axes and other preliminary fire imple-
-nents. 1t viii cost the city S2.5OO. The
second request IS for a motor comb
nation chemical ana hose wagon to
carry LzOO feet of 21e inch hose ana
the nose necessary for the chemical
tank and full equipment This wagon
VIII cost $1,000. Both pieces Of appar-
tus Will be placed at headquarters
station.
All over the United States the fire
departments in large cities and small
towns have substituted the motor ma
chlnes Tor the horse drawn wagons In
Atchlson, Kan, for instance, this move
mas been made In small Kansas cit
les like Atchison, Hutchinson and Sa-
ma, the motor driven apparatus is be-
ing placed in service
The advantages over the horse
drawn apparatus has been demonstra-
ted in every city where it has been in
noon.
Fully 90 per cent of the fires in this
country are discovered in their Incl
plency. If the time between the sound
ing OF the alarm and the first arrival
ef the horse apparatus could be saved
by an automobile engine, the fire loss
and the loss of life would be reduced
greatly.
The motor fire apparatus covers a
radius twice as great as horsepower.
The power of endurance on long and
frequent runs in many times grea ter.
The first cost of this rev fire euuip-
ment is greater-but it will be over
come i'll the long run. The greater
speed and efficiency Of this aTpars. tus
will repay the taxpayers for the neees-
sary expense Safety to life and pro
perty is paramount to all.
The cost of maintenance is less
than the cost of horses. One horse this
year eats 500 worth Of grain a year and
next year expect the price to run to
$l35 on account of the increased cost of
grain. The motors cost nothing when
not in actual service-the horses are 4
continual expense.
Il am not in favor of substituting the
entire department with motors at pres
eIt-but I think this will be the event
ual move in all cities in the country
in the future"
