With Their Police Appointments.

Pittsburg, Kan, May 29.-Charging
violation of the commission govern
ment law because of the appointment
of policemen who were disqualified by
a civil service board for physical dis
abilities, a half dozen Pittsburg men
have begun the circulation of petitions
to recall from Office Mayor Asbury c.

Bert Mead, commissioner of parks
and public buildings, is not named in
the petitions. Mead was the choice
of the labor party at the last election.
The petitions were started among the
workmen at the Kansas City Southern

expressed because of the socalled vio-
lation of the commission acts. There
are about thousand men employed
in these shops. 1t required only six
hundred signers in Pittsburg to make
the recall petitions valid.

New CyclOpedia of States Rec

Lawrence, Kan, May ga CYCLIC
pedia of the history of Kansas is being
prepared and will be published WITHIN

ordinary history in that it treats OF the
entire development and achievement OF
the state. The history is being edited
by Frank w. Blackmar, professor OF
sociology and economics at the Un1Ver-

This year Kansas celebrates the semi

Kansans Don't Know This History.
Probably none of the states presents
more interesting and thrilling history
than Kansas. The early expedition of
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in
search of the mythical city of Quivira
with it's tabled wealth; an account of
the Indian tribes which inhabited the
region prior to the advent of the per-
manent white settler; the history of
the territory as a part of the French
and Spanish province of Louisiana; the
Louisian purchase; the expeditions of
Lewis and Clark, Lieutenant Zebulon
M. Pike and others; the organization of
the territory OF Kansas, the famous
Border War;" the admission of the
state into the Union; the part Kansas
played in the civil war, and her subse
Quent industrial and social progress, all
combine to form a story as enhancing
as any to be found in Arabian Nights.
An Account of Each Administration.
In addition to the principal events, Il
large number of special subjects will be
treated in the same cyclopedic style,
such as agriculture, horticulture, bank
ing. manufacturing, newspapers. rail-
roads, geology, institutions, finances,
Indian tribes and treaties, mineral re-
sources, historical sketches of counties
cities and towns, and universities and

A concise historical account of each
governors administration is given In
cluded in this is a biographical sketch
of the governor, as well as biographical
mention OF persons who have left 1.-The

others-will be arranged in alphabetic

THE COAL MANS HEAVEN.

A coal man went to Heaven one day,
As sometimes coal men do,
And was given job at princely pay
OF running a coal train through
To the Kingdom below with instructions
to haul
From the fiery birthstone bars,
All the railroad men whom he could recall,
Who had failed to give him cars
So a message he sent to the realms of
He'll,
For the railroad men to be
On the watch for his train and he rang
the bell
With a chuckle of fiendish glee,
And the men lined up they writhed IN
pain
On the fiery birthstone bars,
But when the coal man showed up with
his train.
They saw he had no cars.
And so through the endless cycle of years,
The railroad men line up
With hope diSpelled with groans anu
tears,
As they drain the bitter cup,
But the coal man makes his run on time,
From the gates of pearl to the merry
bars,
And the railroad men in anguish chime
No cars my God, no cars.

TRADES PENSION FOR LOVE.
Mrs. Nancy Kiemel Finds That She
Lost by Transaction.


Hutchinson, Kan, May 29.-When
Mrs. Nancy Kfemel gave up her $12 g.
month pension for the love of an old
soldier. she made the mistake of her
life, she now says.
For Mrs. Kiemel has lost both her
pension and her old soldier. And all
within two months after the wedding
bells rang out at Sylvia.
She was the widow of Civil. war
veteran, and received a pension of $12
per month. When August Kiemel of
Sylvia made love to her and finally
proposed, she says she at first refused
his hand. For she couldn't afford to
give up that $12 per month.
But August persisted. He pointed
out to her, she says, that he was worth
$4,000, and that she could well afford
to give up that paltry $12 mouth
pension in return for his $4,000 not
to mention his love and protection as
a husband.
And so she snapped. She married
him. on March %, last. and she lost
her pension by so doing.
According to a petition for divorce
filed by the wife. she finds that she
lost all, for she declares August has
been cruel to her and that within three
weeks after the wedding day he began
abusing her.
She asks Judge Branine to grant her
a divorce and $1,000 alimony with
which to support her the rest of her
life.

Operators Can Gossip Over Telegraph
Lines No Longer.
The days of the telegraph operators
at the different stations gossiping with
each other over the diSpatchers wire
are nearly over. AS fast as workmen
can accomplish it, the telegraph for
the use of the Atchison, Topeka d
Santa Fe dispatchers will be thing
of the past, and with the abandon
ment of the telegraph entirely for the
transmission of messages which rail-
road men says is coming soon, the OPP
ertors at the lonely desert stations Will
be isolated from civilization.
With the inauguration of the tele-
phone, the dispatcher will be the
central and two stations cannot
converse with each other without the
dispatcher first arranging the circuit.
Then there will be no more of Bill
Jones opening the key and asking his
operator friend John Smith what the
latest scandal and gossip is at his end
OF the line
The dispatchers are already pictur-
ing with much favor the days when
they can tell the operator to go out
and get the conductor who is wreck
ing the schedule planned for him over
the division. Then the dispatcher will
have the satisfaction of telling that
conductor how to get his train over
the road.
Railway officials who have not ad-
vanced from the ranks of telegrapherS
are also awaiting the installation of
the telephone with favor. 1t will then
be possible for those officials, while
out on the line, to talk direct with the
division. headquarters and personally
issue such instructions as they desire.

baled hay, and all Browns harness
and farm implements, and an adjoin-
ing granary containing 500 bushels of
shelled corn, were destroyed. Brown
had a similar fire little more than
two years ago and it was believed to-
be of incendiary origin.
Brown telegraphed yesterday to
Beatrice, Neb., for bloodhounds, and
the dogs arrived at his farm about $50

south of the barn along hedge fence
where one of the women of the family
thought she had seen man running

dogs followed it across a creek.

went in a southwesterly direction ten

about thirty-f1ve miles. Rose formerly

Wichita, KAN, May 29.-Farmers in
certain sections of Sedgwick county

swindles of land dealers who offer
hardware inventories in exchange for

JUVENILE PATRONS BY HEIGHT.
Narrow Painted Stripe in Cars a
Gage to Age.

An interurban railway in Pennsyl-
vania has caused to be painted on the
interior of its cars a narrow horizon
tai stripe extending along the sides
and ends of the cars, at the fixed
distance of forty-ffve inches from the
floor. The purpose of this line is to
afford q gage as to the hight OF ju-
Venile passengers, and all who meas
ure above the line when standing
erect must pay full fare, while all who
have not grown up to the line will be
passed for half fare. The company
has thus abandoned the age limit as
q means of determining whether a
child shall pay half or full fare, and
when there are disputes in the future
the conductor will courteously ask
the child to stand up and be meas
ured. The hight limit is really a more
rational gage for half fares than the
age limit. for the cost of transporta-
ton depends upon the size and weight
of the passenger; but the suggestion is
made In this connection that the chief
motive of the road in inaugurating
the new system. was a concern be-

APPLE CROP HIT HARD.
OrcIlardist Says Dry Hot Winds Have
Badly Injured Crop,

Leavenworth, Kan, May 29.-CIi-
NAUTICAL conditions of the last two
weeks have injured the fruit crop to
an untold extent, according to large
raisers of this crop throughout the
county. Francis Gobel. one of the
largest apple growers in the county,
was in the city. Mr.. Goble has been in
the fruit business for the last thirty
years. In all these years he said he
never saw winter and spring more
favorable to a good crop and then the
prospects to fail as they have in the
last month.
1.-THE Jonathans are the heaviest
sufferers said Mr.. Goble. "They will
be followed closely by the Winesap,
the Crimes Golden and the Huntsman.
The burden of the crop will have to
be borne by the Ben Davis, the Gano
and the Missouri Pippin.''
Dry hot winds of the last two weeks
did the damage, he says.
