bones to be those of some prehistoric

them brought to Winner, where parts

measured in the neighborhood Of six

Stranger Works East Siders by Fake

That a few fake kilograms is all
that is needed by a stranger in the

the expense of the public, is proven by

Tim Donovan, plain clothes man of

Not long ago a stranger came to the
city He visited numerous homes
east of the shops posing as a telegraph
messenger. At the door he would in
form the owner of the place that he
had telegram on which the charges
were 80 cents. Names of the people
visited by the stranger had been oh
tanned in advance. Invariably the tel
egram stated that there was a pack
age in a local express office for the re-
cipiert- Investigation developed, of
course, that the telegram was a fake

80 cents. Fully a dozen persons who
bit on the fake message have been
found by Donovan. They all live east

Ten pounds of dynamite was packed
on the east side of the stack, which
was ITO feet high. To all outward
appearances, the stack was going to
fall on the roof of the brass foundry
near by, but dynamiting seemed to
be the only solution to the problem.
The explosive was set off by an cleo
trio fuse. The base was blown out
and the entire brick and concrete
structure came tumbling down within
a radius of only 8 feet.
This proved a great surprise to the
Santa Fe officers who watched the ex-
plosion. When the dynamite explod
ed at the base of the stack, nothing
was left for the high steeple-like
building to do but to gracefully fall
down.
The explosion took place after
working hours. Engineers say that
the dynamite plan is a new one, but
that it will work at all times. Take
the trick of placing a half dollar on
a billiard ball, for instance, and then
trying to lock the half dollar out
of a small circle by hitting the ball
with another ivory one. 1t isn't often
that the half dollar goes out of the
circle. A similar plan was carried
out when the smokestack was dyna-
mited.

PLANNING A COUP
Gas Companies Looking to Re-
turn to Artificial Rates.
Chicago Expert Testifies Before
the Utilities Commission.

That gas distributing companies are
planning a coup which may mean ad-
vancement of natural gas rates to the
price of artificial gas, was indicated
today in the testimony of Henry 1. Lea
of Chicago, before the public utilities
commission, in the gas rate case. The
Chicago witness backed up the test1-
mony of l.. G.. Treleaven, receiver for
the local gas company, and asserted
that limitation of natural gas to cook
ing and lighting purposes would
necesSitate a rate in keeping with that
received for the manufactured prod
uct.
Lea qualified as an expert and testi-
fled in the capacity of gas engineer.
He dealt with the gas question from
a scientific standpoint and laughed at
the idea that the gas waste as a re-
suit of leakage was as heavy as claim
ed by the Kansas Natural.
eff the leakage were as much as has
been claimed" said Lea, some of
these towns would have been off the
map long ago."
Answering questions from members
of the commission and attorneys, Lea
stated that the only equitable rate that
could be established was one based
on a scientific survey of the gas fields,
which the supply is sold.
Then if it is found that the gas
companies cannot get enough gas to
supply the distributing companies suf-
ing gas for heating and boiler use, the
rate should be put on an artificial gas
basis" said the witness. Repeated
inquiries, however, failed to draw from
Lea a direct statement as to the eX-
act amount which he felt should be re-
ceived by the gas companies for their
product in the Kansas field.
IF all of the present supply were
used for domestic purposes said Lea,
the loss by leakage would be so per
cent"
Much of the loss occaSioned by the
gas companies is due to the fact that
meters are not properly inspected, the
witness said. Then Lea sprung some
thing new on the utilities commission.
1.-The meters are not properly in
spected,' said the Chicago expert. LAS
a result, the meters are slow They
fail to register all of the gas that is
and the result is that there
is a loss somewhere between the
pumping station and the total regis
tered by the individual meters

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, June 9.-WHEAT-Cold and
frost northwest brought a bulge today in
the price of wheat. The government crop
report was virtually ignored as having
been discounted in advance. Steadiness
of cable quotations tended to help the
bulls. After opening 1sc to &c off, the
market ran up sharply to well above last
nights level, but later reacted to a mod
crate extent.
Later the market receded much further
on account of reports that growth in the
northwest was not far enough advanced
to be injured by the low temperatures.
Bearish sentiment was also perceptibly
increased by the unsettled outlook as to
relations of the United States with Ger
many. The close was heavy at 31sc to
Nc to 41sc under last night.
CORN-Numerous damage reports from
Iowa led to active buying of corn. I'm
favorable weather elsewhere also
bullish INFLUENCE The opening. which
ranged from kMAc to 1@1kc higher was
followed by additional upturns.
A setback ensued when wheat took
decided down turn. The close was weak
at ssMAc to sc net decline.
OATS-Oats assembled with corn. Shorts
covered freely.
ROVISIONS-Provision prices were
stimuplated by the corn advance. Trade,
however lacked volume.

First Secretary to Quit in Split
With President.
No Previous Issue So Grave as
to Involve Post.
TO PATTERN after EUROPE
Many Observers See Birth of
Irresponsible Cabinet"
Official Family To Be Subject to
Popular Will.

Washington, June $50 far as
state department records show Mr..
Bryan is the first secretary to resign
as the direct result of a clear issue
with the president on foreign policy.
Some of his predecessors have had
differences with their chiefs, but
usually those have arisen from di-
tons, but never have they developed
to a point involving the surrender of
portfolio.
Gary's Resignation Different.
The nearest approach to Secretary
Bryans action recalled here was the
resignation in 1898 OF. James A. Gary
of Maryland, postmaster general in
President McKinley's cabinet His
resignation was based on repugnance
to the approaching war.with Spain.
In Mr.. Bryan's dramatic resignation
observers in some quarters profeSsed
to see development in this country
of the European idea of responsible
cabinets, answerable to public opin-
ion In nearly all constitutional
European countries it has been the
custom for an entire cabinet to resign
office upon some such manifestation
of public disapproval as an adverse
vote in the legislative body.
Reversal in Construction.
But in such case the consequence
has been more or less complete re-
verSal in the political construction OF
the cabinet which was able to in
fluence the action of the executive.
Since the beginning of the present
war many of the European cabinets
have thus been reconstructed, but
with the single exception of Italy all
of the changes have been caused by
popular desire to meet the internal
question and perhaps to strengthen
the constitutional rulers in the con-
duct of the war.

Wheat i'm Good Condition
High water did less damage to
wheat than was feared. In many
fields that were flooded the wheat is
standing erect. Most of the wheat is
in excellent condition. In fact the
farmers around Wamego are in great
spirits. Many of them are claiming
that their fields will produce thirty
bushels to the acre.
The farmers were too busy in the
fields to greet the Topekans in large
numbers. The day was ideal for al
falfa hay making. Then too, there was
considerable corn that required re-
planting because of the recent heavy
rains.
