Lockjaw,

A different light has been thrown on. thewcrk of R obert Watts, the Rock .Islandtramp detective, who arrested C E. Clarkand Robert Tutts for breaking Into a boxcar Monday night. Yesterday morning adelegation of representative citizens ofUonner Springs came to this city and em-ployed Attorney C C. Kail to defend Clarkand Tutts, the two suspected box carthieves. Justice Hughes released the menoa COO bond each. Clark, 'who, in companywith Tutts, was arrested as he was leavinga Rock Island freight train at BonnerSprings, Wednesday night, by DetectiveWatts, is a well known resident of Bon-ner. He has bcertthe Tillage blacksmiththere for several years and enjoys an ex-cellent reputation. When his friends therelearned of Ills detention In this city forbreaking into a box car on tho RockIsland road and throwing out a large quan-tity of merchandise they immediatelystarted 'for this city to investigate thematter. They went to the county Jail andheld a conference with Clark, and whenthey left him they went directly to the officeof Attorney Dall and retained him to de-fend Clark. The Bonner Springs people donot think that he is guilty as charged, and

to see him get fair play. Attorneylall stated yesterday that he would prove

that Clark and Tutts had nothing to dowith breaking into or robbing the car, andwould show that Watts, the detective,threw the goods out along the track hlm-Be- lf.

He openly charges that the entireaffair was a scheme of watts' to raise him-self in the estimation of the railroad com-pany as a "smooth" detective. Dall sayshe will not only secure his clients' dis-charge, but will make the railroad com-pany pay dearly for the actions of its de-tective.

INDEPENDENCE.

Some Opposition to the ConstitutionalAmendment Allovrlnc Kansas Cityand Jncknon Connty 1o Separate.

The people of this part of the county aresomewhat divided on the bill to amendthe state constitution, so that Kansas Citymay be separated from Jackson county, al-

though there will be no effort to fight It.The opposition lies in tho fact that Jack-son county outside of Kansas City getstwo-thir- ds of the dramshop fund and thepeople of this part of the county want thisto continue for ten years more, if possible.It Is considered a good thing and the farm-ers know it. On the other hand, there isan clement. Quite strong, which would fa-vor separation, owing to the fact that pol-iticians have a poor show for office out-side of Kansas City. This feeling is strongamong tho .Democrats who have run upagainst the sang" which controls-th- e Dem-ocratic party In Kansas City. With Kan-sas City to Itself, the vision of an officebecomes more tangible.

ON THE TRAIL OF A CRIME.

JUDGE TARSXEY WANTS ' AS OUT-

RAGE OF 1873 INVESTIGATED.y

A Bis Boom In the 3Unt Business InOklahoma Guthrie Capital on

His Recent Lynching Chargeto the Grand Jury.

Judge John C. Tarsney arrived yesterdaymorning from Oklahoma andvJolned Mrs.Tarsney, at the Midland. He will remainuntil Saturday evening, when he will leavefor Day county; which In 'located In West-ern Oklahoma. The Judge would live verymuch to visit Washington about this time,hut the court arrangements will not allowhim to indulge in such extravagant lux-ury.

The Judge is still trying to induce thegrand Juries of Oklahoma to investigatethe crime of '73. He insists that such anenormous crime as that should be investi-gated thoroughly and all manner of in-

dictments found, provided a suspicion ofguilt is established.

The Judge reports a wonderful boom Inthe mint business In Oklahoma. Thereseems to be a wonderful rush by way ofsecuring machinery and men to coin intofull round dollars the silver product of theworld. It Is not the disposition amongthose interested in the enterprise to beselfish and confine the coinage to Okla-homa mined sliver. It is the full purposeto coin foreign and domestic silver, as wellas territorial. This was the forceful ex-pression ot opinion at the last delegate

selection.The Capital, ot Guthrie, takes a falL out

oMhe Judge something after this manacr:"Strange things are happening In Okla-homa. A Democratic Judge comes In fromMissouri where they lynch negroes withthe same good cheer they take "whiskystraight' and Jumps viciously onto a com-munity which has made a lynching beeof a negro the first lynching In Oklahoma.Last September a negro, supposed to havecommitted murder in Blaine county, wa3taken out and nocturnally hung. JudgeTarsney, the other day. In his charge tothe grand Jury at Watonga, said;

"."9'!I!tlSnen of theJJrand.Jury: I.wouldnot feel I had discharged my duty to theterritory, to society and to humanity If Ifailed to call .your attention to a brutalmurder, I repeat It, a brutal murder, com-mitted at this place In September last. Itwas not only a brutal murder, but It wasa cowardly murder. In your county Jailwas a defenseless prisoner. He was thereIn the custodv of the law. The law was'adequate to punish his offense If he hadcommitted one. The law was able andready to punish' him If guilty. But, In-stead of giving tho law Its course, he wasfotclbly taken out and murdered. That Iswhat It was murdered. The atrocity ofthis crime was greater because it waswholly uncalled for. Itwas without prece-dent In this young commonwealth, beingthe first and only brutal murder of thatcharacter that has ever disgraced the fairname of Oklahoma. The work of thatcowardly mob was an uprising against law,a defiance to civil authority, and rebellionagainst our government. It Is your dutyto Investigate this offense against law. Itis your duty to the territory, to society, toyourselves and families. It Is the dutyof every good citizen to guard with pa-triotic devotion the majesty of the lawsof our land and to assist In bringing of-fenders to. Justice. Were such crimes al-lowed to go unpunished, such mobs toler-ated. If would only be a question ot timeuntil law and civilization would give wayto anarchy and ruin. Everything that Issecred to good citizens would be sweptaway by brutality and force. The Inter-ests of society demand that all uprisingsagainst law be promptly suppressed and.the offenders punished. Gentlemen, I havoJmen very Drieny to maxe your auty piain.It remains for you to act.- -

"Men have been driven rrom the benchand run out of the country, in severalSouthern states for charges far less rigidthan this. Judge Tarsney must have con-cluded he lives In the North, surroundedby Northern sentiments.

"He is certainly to be commended for hismanly words. He has said them in acountrv where freedom and Justice are re-spectedwhere it Is generally conceded,that a negro Is human, that he is a citi-zen, and entitled to the same Justice underthe law as a white man, Indian or China-man."

BIGGEST SALE OR CATTLE EVERMADE IN KANSAS CITY.

T. C. Shoemaker Iluyi --1,000 Head ofStock From Zeb F. Crlder & Co.

for About One-quart- erv

Million Dollars.

, One of the largest sales of ranch cattlemade at the Kansas City stock yards formany years, and one of the Iar?e3t sales ofranch steers ever made In the country, wasconcluded yesterday when Zeb F. Crider &Co. bought for T. C. Shoemaker the entirelot of steers branded on the T. H. S.ranch for the years of ISM. 1833, ISM. Whilethe number of steers branded in that timeIs not definitely known. It Is believed therewill bo something more than ZUWi cattletransferred and they will represent a valueof more than one-thi- rd of a million dollars.

The contract that was closed yesterday-call- s

for the delivery of all of the cattle'be-twee- n

March 15 and May 1 on the ranchesthat may be designated in New Mexico andKansas. At these places they will begrazed and prepare.d .for market and willfinally bo shipped to the yards here.

This deal Is similar to many that weremade years aero when the ranches werefilled with cattjej anil complete cleanoutsates were frequently made. Of late yearsthere has been but little of tnts sort oftrading done, and this sale was taken bythe stockmen to Indicate a revival of In-terest in ranch trading, which alwaysstimulates the market anJ makes the con-ditions easier.

A clever minstrel and specialty perform-ance, with children as artists, entertaineda large audience at the auditorium of theY. M. C.

The performance was givenby St. John's Father Mathew Cadets andSt. John's Junior, Auxiliary, with fifty-fiv- eboys and thlrty-elg-ht girls participating.The minstrel performance, Jn which thoJunior burnt cork artists were assisted byMr. McDonald, was replete with old timegags and a Joke or two that Rip VanWinkle might not. recognize; in fact It wasai minstrel show, creditablypresented. A Reuben and Rachel dance'by little girls made a decided hit. "Want-te-d,

a Valet," a negro comedy sketch,provoked genuine mirth. A scarf dance toSccttish music, by fourteen girls, was wellexecuted, as was also a Maypole dance bysmaller girls, with little Miss" Alma Mc-Donald as May Queen. A fancy drill bySt. John's Father Mathew Cadets was fol-lowed by a,, general drill by all the chil-dren, which concluded the programme. Thoaudience cheerfully overlooked the littlefaults In the performance and attested totheii appreciation of the many clever bitsof work by generous applause.

Efforts to Frighten Depositors Prove1 Unavailing Dr. "Lc Roy Dibble '

Addresses a Communlcn- -,

tlon io the "Dep'osltors' of the Bank. "

. Receiver Thomas B. Wallace, of the Mis-

souri National bank, was In a very uncom-municative mood jesterday. He had 'noth-ing to say on the .question ot whether hehas been secretly opposing the plan for re-organization of' the bank, which the de-

positors' committee is now trying to carrythrough. A reporter for The Journal yes-

terday called on Mr. Wallace and askedhim if he had anything to say on the sub-ject, stating that The Journal would liketo" give his side of the question.

"I have nothing to say, sir," said Mr.Wallace.

"Have you read the article referred to,Mr. Wallace?':

"Yes, sir. My attention was called to it.Somebody has an exceedingly lively Imagi-nation. But I must decline to enter intoany newspaper controversy on this sub-ject, or any other."

"Is It true, Mr. Wallace, that you haveadvised some depositors to vote against theplan?"

"X have not a word to say, sir. I amhere as the agent of the comptroller, andI am not, authorized to make any state-ments of any kind without his express in-

structions. I am going to keep right on do-ing my work."

"Is It true, Mr. Wallace, that you de-clined to give the depositors' committee therevised list of, depositors, which they .askedyou for?"

Mr. Wallace's countenance relaxed intoJust the faintest suspicion of a smile. Itwas evident that something amused himJust a little bit. "I have nothing tbjuyfor publication on that subject. Tho truthIs that they never asked me for any list,and whatever they have asked me for,which it has been in my power to give, Ihave given them. I have nothing to sayfor publication, however."'Then Mr. Wallace turned and resumed

his arduous duties as receiver.The members of the depositors com-

mittee maintain that there have beenstrong influences at work against the reor-ganization, but they do not feel at all dis-couraged. They are confident that theproposed plan meets with the approval nowof a very large majority of tne depositors,and that when all understand it fully theywill be a unit in favor'of It.

The men who are most active In the or-ganization of the new bank, which Is to

off. the indebtedness of the MissouriNational, are going right ahead with, their

preparations for opening business. The ap-plication for a charter Js about ready'to beforwarded, and only awaits the arrival otMajor Hood and Mr. Lantry, who 'will bothbe here

QUESTIONS NOT- - ANSWERED.

Dr. Le Roy Dibble Discusses MissouriNatlonnl Affairs and Tells What

He Asked the Comptroller.To the Editor ot TheJournal.

Your article on the! affairs of the Mis-

souri National bank, intitled "A Stab Inthe Back," is timely. v'As one of the largerdepositors, I asked He'c,'amptrolIer.on,iDe-cembe- r

26, 1896, ttie foUowfag questions!:"Why the unseemlya haste In appointing

a receiver and sacrificing the assets of thebank by the examiner, i. e., Owens' drugstore and the White Line Transfer Com-

pany?""Why Is it that the receiver, having been

'appointed. Is not making every effort tocollect the outstanding assets of the bankbefore parties put their property out oftheir hands?"

"Why-I- s such a pressure being brought tobear by agents of the department tb pre-vent the reorganization ot the bank?! "

"Is 'it not to st of the outgoingadministration to render all the assistancepossible in this case, as well as in the Illi-nois bank at Chicago?"

"Is It Just or right that, as a result ofa personal quarrel between the officers ottho bank and ''those of the government,that Innocent depositors, who know noth-ing about It. should be made to suffer?"

"If so, to what degree, or, rather, to whatper cent, of their deposits, is this vicariouspunlshment'to be carried?"

On January 7, J897, 1 received a reply fromMr. Eckels, evading the questions in themain, and stating that the receiver In-

formed him that everything was .movingalong smoothly. How smoothly the depos-itors too well know.

There are several very queer things (tocall It by no harder name) connected withthis failure. Rlgor-mort- ls was not wellestablished. in this body corporate beforea village lawyer to admin-ister the last rights of a' million and a halfof claims. Why he' was appointed overmen here who have grown gray in banking,and knew the value of nearly everyasset of the bank, and who knew, andwere known by, the larger part of the de-

positors, and would have their entire con-fidence, politics alone can answer. He maydevelop into a Napoleon of finance.. Wehopo he will, but, from lack of experienceIn banking, or a knowledge of the assetsof thebank, he is no more qualified tohandle it than I am to practice; law before,thoTsupreme court. There 4s nothing per-sonal' in these statements. They are simplycold facts. That the affairs of the bankwere not Judiciously handled the failureattests. But,. bad as It may have been,the handling of its assets since has beenInfinitely worse. From lack of any state-ment from the comptroller or receiver Inregard to the affairs 'of the bank. 1C mayprove that people have sacrificed theirclaims for a mere pittance who can ill af-ford It. Mr. Eckels goes to Chicago andgives the affairs of the Illinois bank hispersonal attention, and in thirty days GO

per cent is paid the depositors. The Missouri National bank failed three months,ago, anu mere nas not Deen even a state-ment made by anyone in authority, or evena hint when a dividend will be paid.

Receivers nro expensive affairs, as wehave abundant proof In a recent state-ment mado by one, that shows a vacuumwhere the bank vaults were, and a par-tially erased gilt sign on the plate glasswindow, painted with tho hard earningsof the poorest people in our city; and keptIn memory green, watered with the tearsof widows and orphans who were Its vic-tims.

That there Is pressure being brought tobear to prevent the reorganization of thebank there Is no doubt. It comes fromthree sources the banks in the city; thebeneficiaries who are winding it up. andsome small lawyers who are advising smalldepositors, not to sign the plan proposedfor Its liquidation.

I haYe,-onI- this to say to the small de-positors: The history of receivershipsshows only about GO cents on the dollar ever

Under the proposed plan 73 per cents guaranteed, with a fair prospect of a

good part of the- remainder. Which Is thebetter plan? Seven hundred parties, whorepresent CO .per cent of the claims, havesigned, and it Is fair to presume that theyrepresent the t'est business men. having thelargest Interest. Will you follow the ad-vice ot these men, whose only interest is toget the largest per cent vosslble out ofYour claims, or parties who are interested,only for themselves, and get the smallest,with all the delays of a receivership?

The difficulty the depositors' .committeehad in obtaining, the r.ames of the depos-itors is In, striking contrast to the facilityby which another bank was able to obtaintheir names. I had a personal letter en-closing a card'from a cashier of a bank Inthis city (giving their last statement), thenext day after the failure.

My advice to the depositors' committee, Ibto circulate a petition to have the receiverremoved by the Incoming administrationand have one appointed In our Interest, un-less this plan of reorganization is accepted.

The failure of this banlcbrings to mynrtnd two glaring defects In the nationalbanking law. The intent doubtless was to,.protect the depositors, but under the rul-ings of the department he' is .largely a..vlc-tl-

MUSIC AND .THE DRAMA, f(It is probably late In the day to discuss"Camllle" as a play.. Ever since the daysof Mathllde Heron ItJias been in the reper-tory of every emotional actress, distin-guished or obscure. It has been playedfrom the histrionic temple to the dime mu-seum and back again. It has been de-nounced as degradlngly Immoral and hasbeen extolled as distinctively ennobling. Ithas had traducers and defenders in thepulpit. It has been literally threshed byconflicting criticism.

"But the play endures.Its popularity was once more illustratedin the Immense audience that witnessed Us

presentation at the Coates last night, by theNethersole company. Jt was followed withabsorbing interest until midnight, and thetraditional and Inevitable tears were shedover Camille's death.

If "Camllle" were an Immoral play itwould not have ben seen' last night. Itwould have lived on its sensational attrac-tion for a time, but would long since havebeen consigned to obscurity and would nowbe only a reminiscence.

It Is true that Dumas' drama Is peopledby immoral characters, but if the ProdigalSon had been followed through his careerot riotous, living he would have been fobndamong such as these. The lesson of hisdegradation could not have been moreforcibly Impressed than is the hopelessnessof Camille's life In this story.

So much may be said In a general way,because Miss Nethersole brings some newmessages In the familiar drama. She. morethan any other actress who has ever pre-sented the play In this city, exalts the truthand emphasizes the hopelessness of a! lovethat comes too late. Dumas understood theSnUhVu"10".?

TIE PEDIGREE OF POPULISM,

SIRED BY A COLLAPSED BOOH; DAM.HARD TIMES.

Hon. George L. Douglass AttributesIts Growth In' Kansas to Want t

or-Rai- Grasshoppers andUnreasoning; Speculation. j

Hon. George L. Douglass, of Chicago,formerly of Wichita, and of theKansas house of representatives, has asigned article in the Times-Heral- d, ot Chi-cago, which reads as follows:

Populism In Kansas, Is the offspring of acollapsed boom and the want of rain. East-ern Kansas Is'a magnificent farming coun-try, but as. you go west the elevation rap-idly increases, the rainfall becomes uncer-tain and the obstacles to agriculture mul-tiply.

For ten years prior to 18S9 a swellingtide of homeseekers and speculators flowedinto Kansas'. Disregarding actual condi-tions, they swarmed over the new Westerncountry and covered it with sod houses andmortgages. Rains' fell In encouragingquantity in ono or two exceptional years;but drouth followed year after year whennothing grew but debts and children: andmany would-b- e farmers soon found them-selves unable to pay for the necessaries oflife, much less Interest and mortgages. By1SS1 thousands of mortgages were in de-fault; thousands of the population had dis-appeared, and.vast tracts of territory werealready abandoned to the grasshopper, thecoyote and the Eastern mortgagee. Lateryears have, only Intensified these conditions.I know of one school district In which theland Is mainly owned by ts andwhere the actual voting population hasbeen reduced to one family a man, his wifeand two grown sons. These four voterslevy the school tax and elect a schoolboard, consisting or the father, mother andone grown son. This board employs theother grown son as teacher at CO a month;and theonly scholar Is the small boy of thefamily. The popular sentiment for free ed-ucation is stronrin that' district.Among the foremost causes which pro-duced this widespread boom and subse-quent desolation must be reckoned theubiquitous loan agent. The Inducementheld out to every reckless speculator totake up a claim and get a loan on It, or,to build a house In some embryo Chicagowith borrowed money, was the most Im-portant factor In the entire business. Yearsago, when the earlier settlers came West,they came with no hope or expectation ofborrowing money, but to build homes andcarve out their destiny with their ownhands, and the "hardships of frontier life

.largely determined the cnaracter ot the'men who embarked upon It. But theaverage speculator, who bought an excur-sion ticket and went to Kansas along Inthe'SOs to take up a claim, with a loanagent pursuing him, would have laughedat the name of pioneer as applied to him-self. -

Of all the boom cities Wichita was themost notable. Early In the 80s the ideaprevailed locally that Wichita would someday be'a great city, and by 1886 the Idea be-gan to spread. Then came the boom. Allthat was necessary to transform a cornfieldInto city lots was for the owner to'flla aplat with the streets and alleys properlydedicated. In a year's time thousands oflots In remote cornfields had changed handsmany times and were loaded down withmortgages. Over 600 "additions" were laidout until the "city" extended eight milesfrom ncrth to south and seven from eastto west, approximating In size the city ofParis.

The resources of the boomer were end-less. One favorite scheme was to start acollege, or "university," and the suddenawakening to the crying need of educa-tional institutions of a high order was aunique feature of that period. Eleven col-leges and "universities were soon underway. Men with no more knowledge ' oftheology than a Kansas grasshopper hadof astronomy suddenly developed uncon-trollable zeal in the founding of theologicalseminaries. The buildings for most orthese institutions never got above theground. One large structure was partiallycompleted and duly mortgaged to a Bostoncapitalist who is to-d- the happy pos-sessor otra first-cla- ss "university unin-cumbered by either students or professors.How so many InstItutIons"were to be sup-ported nobody. stoppedto. Inquire, rt wasenough to know that land In the neighborho-od-of Cambridge and Oxford. Harvardand Yale was valuable: and, if eleven likeInstitutions could be set going In Wichita,it was too clear for argument that landsand lots would soon be "out of sight." Sothe good wcrk went on.

About this time a company was organ-ized to manufacture watches, and far outon the prairie, remote from the hauntsand habitations of man. arose a grand,four story stone structure, designed to bethe home of the new industry. But thefrosts of adversity, nipped the enterprise:and that, .lonely watch factory, wherein nowatch was ever made, stands y amonument to the zeal and hopefulness ofthat marvelous era. In like manner vastcar works were built, now silent as thetomb; and a irtghty plow works, whereinnever a plow was made. The city was filledwith strangers; money was plentiful be-yond all precedent; and the Populists, whoarose two years later to howl about thelack of money "per capita." would thenhave been laughed "to scorn.

The boom culminated In 1SS7. and therewas a sudden cessation ot sales. Vainlydid 700 licensed real estate agents explainthat this was only a ."fortunate breathingspell." The good old days never returned.As time rolled by the dealers closed theiroffices-- one by one, and slowly but surelythe conviction fastened itself upon themost enthusiastic that the bottom haddropped out, and that houses many milefrom the business center, which nobodywould rent, and 'which were bolntr daliytorn to pieces by thieves and vandals, werenot worth the lumber that tuna In them

So pnripri thp fntnnnta Vi(Mfn nAiil.t,,and .soon alter came to a close the greatKansas boom of which the Wichita boomwas a part. Wichita still has perhaps 20.000people, and possesses undoubted commercial advantages; out many or tne smairercities further west, havlne no lonirer ra- -son.for existence, followed their booms IntooDiivion ana. seme nave totally disappeared.The loszes..were so vast and-- varied as toeiuae an accurate estimate. (The good re-sults, are confined to a highly valuable ex-perience now possessed dv mnnv omuIo.Another result Is the .unprecedentedly lowprice of much rood and nrofitahli nmnrveven In Kansas. When thepenautum again swings tne other way. asIt soine day must, the buyers of land atpresent prices will gather In for thpmMroa share of what was lost by the victims oftne great Doom,

The political results were immediate.Short crops, the wholesale collapse in val-ues and a general maturing of boom debtsproduced an Inevitable and eenuln rnn.,lty oL money. In sudden and. amazing con- -iruai wiiii uie preceuing aDunaance. Thencame-th- e heyday of the Populist-- No easiertask ever confronted a. calamity orator.He wanted to prove that the crying evilof the day was the lack of circulating me-dium and-h- e "could always prove It by sim-ply bidding his hearers put their handsin their pockets. The argument was thenclosed.

Other causes contributed to the growth ofKansas Populism, but of themselves wouldnever have produced the wonderful harvestof Peffers. Simpsons. Leases, et Id genusomne. A well distributed rain In KansasIn July. 1890. would In all probability havesaved two United States senators to theRepublican party, have prevented the re-peal of the McKInley law and thuschanged the whole course of recent Amer-ican history.

' Blake's Sixth Lecture.

The twentieth century farmer, in the)opinion of Professor Blake, of the statsuniversity of Kansas, will-n- ho grounddown hy tyrannical railroad corporations.H? Will have an electric road runningright past his farm and will load bisgarden truck upon electric freight cars,which will whirl them away to the nearestma'rkat. at a freight rate to 'be hereafterfixed. n his sixth lecture fa tKe elec-.tric- lty

course at Lyceum hall. ProfessorBlaka discussed the production and trans-mission of electrical power. He explainedIn great detail the numerous forms t ofdynamoes and motors, devoting a largaportion of the lecture toan Interesting-descriptio-

of the great Niagara Falls plantsfor the transmission ot electricity toBuffalo and Intermediate points.

The logical outcome ot this successful ex-periment Professor Blake thought was. thsutilisation of the watel power now goingto waste within a few hundred miles ot allthe treat centers of population. Only 3 percent of the power of the falls at Niagara laused at the present time, and yet 1W.00O

horse power can ba supplied by the s

at tbe fails Since the power ofthe falls was utilized one ooir.pany-.I- a pre-pared to put out 10,000 tons of aluminumevery day: Immense chlorate ot potashworks have been built; all the power forelectric roads In the vicinity of the-fall- s issupplied therefrom; several thousand) horsepower will be transmitted to Buffalo: many ,thousand horse' power for mall power serv-ice will be utilized; sodium and carborun-dum works have been started at thefallaand an English chemical manufacturingcompany which has been established forfifty years Is to move its entire plant, to thofalls.

The utilization of the power ot the fallswas made possible by the genius of NicolaTesla. whose plans were accepted fromthose of the leading electricians of thworld: his discovery or the rotary fielddynamo made possible tbe transmission ofthe power for long distances. An interest-ing fact is that one company has already)ut out more horsepower of energy 'thana represented by the. entire coal output --

Kansas" and Missouri and the elimination,of steam power is more-tha- a possibility.Electrical power Is being produced lor K5per horse power: steam horse power costsI12S per horse power.-an- d the logical prog-ress of the evolution of electrical energyis the abatement of the smoke nuisance bythe substitution of electrical "for steampower.

During tho course of his lecture Pro- - ,.fessor Blake performed an experiment with:apparatus designed by; his assistant, Mr.Simpson, of the state, university of Kan-sas, who worked, all night for-tholi- gt

three night upon the device which wasintended to Illustrate the rotary field mo- -'tor. Next week'Professor'BIake will a
