LEPROuS WAITERA AT
LARGE, HAVING FLED
Hartman Escapes Quarantine
and Leaves st. Louis
Hurriedly.

st, Louis, Mo, Aug. 11.-George A.
Hartman, the leper, who was AXE to
an isolation cottage at the quarantine
hospital several miles south. of ST.
Louis yesterday, has escaped. Hart
man returned to his wife'S home in
the heart OF the, city early this morn
Ing, secured some money and de-
parted.
When officers called at the Hartman
home today Mrs. Hartman refused to
tell them where her husband had gone.
She told them he had gone for good
and that he would return to st.
Louis.
Hartman, who has been working as
q waiter, it is said, already has ex-
posed hundreds of persons to the dread
malady from which he is declared to
be suffering. The police and health Of
fcials are bent upon capturing him
and returning him to solitary confine-
ment to prevent the possible spread of
the disease.
If he is found he probably will be
confined in a cell or kept under guard.
After Hartman was taken to the isola-
ton cottage yesterday his relatives
were ordered to remain away from him
q distance of at least % feet. They
were told they could visit him regu-
larly. Mrs. Hartman announced her in
tention Of fighting the order of the city
authorities, but apparently decided on
the course she has followed. 1t was
said here today that Mrs. Hartman
may be placed under arrest for aid
ing the leper to escape.
A night Waterman visited the lep-
rosy cabin at 10 o'clock last night and
found Hartman lying in bis room APP
parently asleep. At 8 o'clock this
morning the Waterman made another
visit ana found the room empty.
Mrs Hartman was iEbllant owe her
husbands escape.
"They won't catch my husband
she said. Competent doctors have
told me that my husband has not lep-
rosy, and when he gets out of reach of
the ST. Louis health authorities he will
take treatment"
Police today watched outgoing
trains, but saw no trace of Hartman.
1t is believed, however, that he took
q train for Mexico.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Daily Citizen
announces the discovery of a gas one
sixteenth of the weight of hydrogen.
Its existence on earth has no yet

The Daily Citizen quotes an anony-

"as being named coronium. If 1t can
be produced or this earth it may
revolutionize the science of aerostatics.
When the earth becomes too cold for
human habitation the people could

Towns Suffering From
Water Famine.

Topeka, Aug. 1.-THE present dry
spell is costing Kansas farmers 81 .00O,-
600 a day, according to a statement by
the government weather bureau here.
Advices from all sections of the state
indicate that there has been no relief
from the present drouth and hot winds
and that there is no immediate relief
in sight. Tuesday was the hottest day
of the year in Topeka and numerous
other townsfreported similar conditions
With immediate rains there, is some
hope for a fairly good yield of late
corn, according to reports received by
the state board of agriculture. But
rains must come soon. In many
localities. it is stated that the farmers
have already abandoned hopes for an
early corn crop and are preparing to
raise a crop of kaffir corn, if possible.
Yet rain is necessary, even to raise
kaffir corn in Kansas.
Dozens of Kansas towns have already
reported water shortages. In many
places there is Imminent danger of fra
because of the short water supply.
