CISTERN OF CIDER.
Mystery of Strong Drink at Bonner
Springs Is Revealed.

Bonner Springs, Kan, May 23.-The
discovery of a cistern filled with hard
cider on a farm near here proved the
solution of a mystery that has baff1ed
the law enforcement officers of Wyan-
dotte county for more than a year.
Frequently complaints have been filed
with the prosecuting attorney that
many men and boys in this vicinity
were being ruined by strong drink, but
the utmost vigilance on his part failed
to locate either joints or bootleggers.
The cistern was found by one of the
prosecutors assistants who has been in
the neighborhood a week disguised as
a farm hand. u chemists analysis
showed that the cider was about 6
per cent pure alcohol.
The farmer who owned the cistern
was enjoined from selling or making
cider and the cistern and it's contents
were destroyed.

Gre~t -z-~- Kan, May 23.-The
remnants of the Progressive party of

then canvassed the town and finally
gathered a crowd of about 80 or 35
people, including children and a few
Democrats. Only six delegates repre-
scented the 26 townships of this county.
Mr.. Brady made a short address of
about o or 1 minutes. When the mat
ter of raising funds and inviting MEM

sprung the few present made it their
business to get out of sight. 1t was
a disappointing session.

CROP CONDITIONS GOOD.
Winona Farmers Are Reticent and
Insure Wheat Against Hail.

Winona, Kan, May 23.-Climatic
conditions have been more favorable
here this year for crops than for the
past five years. The rainfall has been
abundant and no destructive winds or
frosts. Wild grass is better for the
time of year than usual, stock is doing
well, and wheat and alfalfa are in ex-
cellent condition.
The first crop of alfalfa will be
ready to cut in a week or ten days,
while wheat is far advanced, some
fields already beginning to head. 1t
is so nearly assured that farmers are
insuring wheat against hail. The
acreage is about normal. Much
feterita. kafir, corn and cane are be-
ing planted here this year. Conditions

sanguine this will be a bumper crop
year for this section.

unaVoidably absent from the county
on tho regular registration days and
of persons whose names, for any rea-
son. were inadvertently left off the
registry lists.
On Thursday the County Board of
Elections added thirteen names to the

zens who were absent from the city

BROAD STREET TO
BLAZE TONIGHT
WITH NEW LIGHTS
Flaming Arcs on Combination
Poles Ready from Walnut
Street to Central Avenue.

Broad street from Walnut street to
Central avenue will be lighted tonight
for the first time by the new type
flaming arc lamps recently adopted
by the city. The change will also
mark the initial use of the combina-
tton poles installed by the Public
Service Corporation to support both
street lamps and trolley span wires.
When the work of installation shall
have been fully completed both Broad
and Market streets will, 1t is believed,
present much improved appearance,
because the principal reason for the
adoption o. the combination pole was
that 1t would reduce the number of
poles on both streets from 406 to 246.
There has long been demand for
combination street lighting and
trolley poles, but the difficulty here
tofore has been to get a lamp that
would stand up under the vibration
caused by the trolley span wires. This
handicap has been overcome by the
new type of lamp, which, because it
was first tried out here, is referred to
as the Newark lamp.
After il had been demonstrated by
a test covering period of six months
that the lamp was ali that was
claimed for II, the BOARD of Works
wanted it adopted for Broad and
Market streets, because 1t was about
as efficient and at the same time
much cheaper than the flaming arc
lamps In use on those thoroughfares.
With the talk of new installation
the lighting company suggested an
elimination of poles, and this has
been agreed to.
Ornamental trolley poles OF o. new
type were designed by the electric
company's engineer, and as soon as
these could be delivered the work of
setting them up was begun. Broad
street from Walnut street to Central
avenue was completed excepting for
the stretch on the east side along
Military Park. where the work was
over the proposed sidewalk line. With
In this section about eighty lamps will
be turned on tonight.
The poles between Central and
Belleville avenues are practically all
in place, but the lamps are not hung.
Poles have been received for Market
street, and work will be started ON
that thoroughfare the first of the
week and poles will be set at the rate
of ten day.
After the old poles are removed
Broad street. in the section men,
toned, instead of having 16S trolley
poles and 1903 lighting poles. win have
only 166 combination poles and the
seventy-three trolley and sixty-two
lighting poles in Market street will
give way to eighty combination poles.
AS to the lamps. they are the first
and only series arc lamps ever in
stalled that have no shunt coil. start
ing resistance or cut-out. Another
important feature is that they throw
the light 20 per cent. below horizontal
and at equal luminous intensity 100
feet from the lamp as directly
under it.

A repair truck. sent out TO fix the
broken trolley wires. was dragged
away as soon as The wire was pulled
up off the street so that ii would
not endanger the pedestrians. The
repair crew finally gave up the at

Merchants said business was at a
standstill and for all the trade they
had they might as well close their

The police expect more serious
trouble this afternoon If the cars are
manned by professional strike

L|NDEMAN GOES
into BANKRUPTCY !
Failure Laid to Wholesale W.
ture-Had Stand in Cen-~ss
tire Market.

After conducting a stand in Centre
Market here for twenty years, selling
horseradish. Nathan Lindeman to-
day filed a voluntary petition In
bankruptcy i'm the United states Dis
trict Court at Trenton. Lindeman
who is widely known in this city.
states that his liabilities amount OF
s17.s67 and his assets, $3.730.
The dealer lives at 204 Littleton
avenue. For a score of years he
made a business OF bottling horse
radish and selling it at retail. Wilt
lam Harris. whom Lindeman has en-
gagged as counsel, attributed the fall
ure to the fact that Lindeman delved
into the wholesale horseradisll busi-
ness during the past few years.
While contenting himself with the
retail end of the trade Lindenlan de-
rived n good profit and his books are
said 10 show a substantial annual in
come. Attempting to carry on q
wholesale trade proved disastrous.
and each year Lindeman went heavier
into debt until the present crash
came. He occupied stand No. 29 at
Centre Market, which was closed to-
day for the first time on any business
day during the past twenty years.
Attorney Harris declared that Lin
demans liabilities consist chiefly Of
bills for merchandise and notes. The
latter paper is guaranteed. asserted
Harris and the holders will suffer no
loss. The SO, $50 in assets is repre-
sented in Iindeman's equity in his
