DEATH UNDER BED.

Two Hundred Pounds of Dyna-

Wichita, nan, Feb 10.-With nearly
20 pounds of dynamite and two boxes
f fuse caps tucked snugly away be-
meath his bed Elmer Perschbacher IS
year-old son of Otto Perschbacher,
climbed into bed and slept soundly. He
declared next day that he hadn't the
slightest fear of the explosive which
might have blown him, the other mem
bers of the family and the Persch-
bacfler residence to atoms.
A week ago young Perschbacher and
a chum came across a vacant house
half a mile south of the Orient shops
while hunting. They broke in and dis
covered a locked room. This room
they forced also and discovered two
boxes of dynamite and the caps.
Later they went to the vacant house,
secured the explosive and hid it I'M

room.
O. B. Cant, owner of the

ported the theft of the explosive to
the police. The officers found the
dynamite and locked it in a vault at
the city hall. The boys who appro-
priated the dynamite were ordered to
report TO police headquarters and give
an account of themselves.
Mr.. Gaunt expected to use the dyna-
mite to blast holes for the planting of

disbanded. 1t is planned to have the
mastering out February 26, the fifth
anniversary of the organization of the
company.
There are a number of reasons for
taking this step. For one thing, in
terest is waning and the boys are get
ting tired of the work. The expenses
are too heavy, about $50 per month,
with an income of about $35, and the
proper support is not coming from 10
cal people. There are a number OF
business men who will not employ a
member of the company.
Out of a membership of sixty odd
men, only twenty-seven are still here,
the balance having moved to other
places or being engaged in pursuits
that necessitate their absence from the
city and from drill and rifle practice.

There was certainly nothing in the
appearance Of the black bass to indicate
why II should be thus preserved. for II
was hardly large enough to excuse an
angler in adding to his catch, leaving
out all question as to the legality Of his
doing it, yet here IT was handsomely
mounted on a polished board, and II
seemed to have the place Of honor
among the many things scattered about

1T isn't the bass itself so much" said
the artist Its the story that goes
with it:
Il was up in the Delaware Valley
some years ago. early in the season,
and went out on the river one day to
fish. accompanied by a local guide to
handle the boat. The boat was floating
slowly down the stream, when. as we
neared a rock near the middle Of the
river, 1 had a strike on one of my
hooks, and the next second a big bass
leaped out Of the water at the end Of

ConsigninE Goods Under Mark.
Consigning goods by rail under the
mark or cipher was the subject of an
other resolution, induced by a notice is
sued by the railway companies that on
and after February l. 1913. they would
not longer receive goods for the home
market under mark or cipher, but would
require them to be fully dressed.
In January representatives of various
chambers of commerce had an interview
with the freight managers of the asso-
ciated railway companies, and the latter
agreed tentatively to the shippers pro-
posal that the railways accept packages
bearing a distinguishing mark together
with the point of destination. The opin-
ion of the conference was that the sys-
tenn of consigning goods under mark or
cipher ought to be preserved.
Another resolution relating to railway
matters dealt with present regulations
governing detention of traders cars
which ignore the Short-diStance tramc.
1t was suggested that the claim for un-
reasonable delay should be upon a mile
age basis.
