Topeka Woman Believes That
She Has Cheated Charity.
She Is Anxious to Give Away
Her Last Penny.
WILL THEN WORK FOR A LIVING
She Has Already Given Valu-
able Lots to Local Church.
Mrs. LOrilla Thesman, of Au-
burndale, Makes Odd Request.

To avoid having it said that she
possesses any worldly goods that
might have gone to charity Mrs. Lo-
villa Thesman, 1912 Stevens street, is
disposing of all her property in the
interest of charity. The disposal of
her property, mostly real estate, will
leave her dependent upon employ
ment for support, according to her
friends. She is SO years OLD.
Mrs. Thesman's actions have been
widely discussed in her neighborhood
for many days. A few days ago the
woman left for Nebraska and Auburn
dale thought it mar a real mystery.
Foul play and other causes equally as
startling were mentioned in connec-
ton with her disappearance. She re-
turned to Topeka Friday evening,
however. and appeared at the Warren
NJ. Crosby store seeking employment.
Would Sell Home.
Through Stephenson & Webb,
local real estate and brokerage firm,
she is attempting to dispose of her
home which is valued at about Sc 900.
After paying the $1,000 mortgage
which is against the property pracu-
cally all the money, or at least $500,
will be turned over by her TO the
Kansas Childrens Home Finding soci-
ETY.. Four lots, Nos. 2, 4, and 8, on
Franklin avenue in McDonald's sub
division, have been donated to the
II
The story of Mrs. Thesman, as re-
cited by her friends, is an add one. In
August, 1907, she married John Tines
man of the Odd Fellows home at
Manhattan. At the time of the mar
rage, it is said Thesman was worth
considerable money. A few years
later he died Had Thesman
manned a single man his wealth would
have gone to the institution.
Thinks She Cheated Charity.
Mrs Thesman, her friends say, be-
lieves she has cheated charity, so she
is turning her property over to char
liable institutions and attempting to
dispose of it in the interest of benev-
olent organizations.
Mrs Thesman is in Topeka today
seeking employment, while with the
co operation of D. F Shirk, head of
the Kansas Homo Finding society,
real estate agents are attempting to
dispose of her little home in Auburn
dale.
The property was recently remod-
eled and repaired by her with the idea
of getting a better price for it.

FUNHGATE STORED GRAIN.
Insects May Be Destroyed With Car
bon Bisulphide, Says IA. S. A. c.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 9.-If tnere
are any insects in your stored grain.
DESTROY them at once, otherwise you
may lose Is per cent of your grain.
I hus advises George A. Dean, en-
tomologist in the agricultural college
end experiment station, who has re-
ceived reports of an unusually large
number of insects infesting granar!eS
and bins.
All stored grain insects succumb to
careful fumigation with carbon oisul-
phide. If the temperature is below 90
degrees, results will be unsatisfacto
Consequently, fumisa ton should be
done Immediately. If the building IS
reasonably tight and the temperature
above 10 degrees. one pound of car
bon bisulphide should be allowed to
every twenty-five bushels of grain and
one pound to every $50 cubic feet OF
space above the grain.
The liquid should be placed in shall
low pans at the top of the bin or build
ing and not more than one pound
should be put in one place. In large
bins it is desirable to put a quantity
of the liquid into the center of the
grain by means of a gas pipe, loosely
plugged at one end The carbon hi
Sulphide should be poured down the
pipe and the plug then removed vita
an attached rod. The liquid may be
sprinkled directly on the grain with
out injury unless excessive quantities
are used.
Furnigation should continue sc
hours or if the grain is not to be used
for seed, is hours.
The vapor of carbon bisulphide is
highly inflammable and explosive.
Consequently. application should he
made in daylight and no fire or light
should be allowed about the building
during the fumigation.
