St. Louis, Fob. 5. PrcsldentFrancls
of the Louisiana Purchase exposition
has a oaso of "broad cast upon tho
water roturnlng after many days."
Ho is In recolpt of tho following letter
from a Chicago man:
"On tho night of October 7, 1801, I
boardod a train it Hannibal, Mo.,
with my brido of a fow hours, en route
to Kansas City. Every berth in tho
slcopor bad boon sold and nono had
beon rosorved for mo, through somo
blunder of tho ticket agent. Embar
rassed and distressed, I left tho young
lady and wandered into the smoking
compartment, whoro I found Colonol
John Grath in company with a gentle
man whom ho introduced as 'my frlond
Govornor Francis.' Upon learning
of my prodlcamont, you very gener
ously lnslstod on my accoptlng your
berth, happily solving for both brido
and groom a bowlldoring situation.
Until now tho opportunity to liquidate
this dobt of gratitudo has not present
ed itself, and I trust you will not think
tho payment is in bad coin. I want to
contributo in somo mcasuro to the sue
coss of tho St. Louis exposition. For
fourteen years my work has been along
electrical lines electric lighting and
tolophono-with a good sharo of busi
ness experience. Could you as presi
dent, not place mo to advantage?"
MAY BE LEASE CONVICTS
Captain Deniinlug's Application for
Writ ofliabeas Corpus (Jruuted.
Leavenworth, Kansas, Fob. 10
John H. Atwood of this city today re
ceived notico that tho application of
haboas corpus by Captain Peter C.
Demming, who applied on tho ground
of being illegally hold in tho federal
prison at Fort Loavenwortb, had been
granted. Tho decision affects about
2,000 military prisoners. Tho caso
was based on an old army law which
provided that no volunteer soldier
could bo tried by a court-martial
composed either wholly or partly of
regular army olllcors. Demming was
convicted of tho embezzlement of gov
ernment funds by a court-martial
hoaded by Colonel Rowlo at the Pre
sidio, California. All court-martials
since tho Spanish-American war pro
ceeded on the theory that tho old array
law did not apply any more.
Tho caso is one of tho most impor
tant in tho military annals of tho
country and was bitterly contested at
St. Louis by able military lawyers.
Tho writ for Demmlng's roloaso will
be issued this week. Tho decision
probably will result in tho release of
all military prisoners, formerly vol
unteer soldiers, who were convicted by
a regular army court martial. Dem
ming has served eighteen months of a
three year's sentence.

PUT SUNSHINE TO WORK
Kansas is to Experiment With nn
Ingenious Device.
Groat Bend, Kansas, Fob. 10 On
tho farm of E. B. Cowglll, noar horo,
will bo operated next month a novel
dovico for putting thoKansas sunshine
to work. This will bo a solar motor
such as has been used In oxporimonts
In Arizona and California.
Tho motor consists of a largo radi
ator or rellector, thlrty-threo feet In
diameter at tho outer edge and sixteen
foot at tho Inner, lined with mirrors
which focus on a boiler that occupies
tho position of a handlo to tho wide
spread umbrella of tho reflector. Tho
reflector 1b moved with tho sun by
clockwork, being suspcndedon a high
derrick. Tho heat is so Intenso near
tiio boiler that wooden polos aro
quickly sot afire.
Tho operation of tho dovico Is sim
ple It is brought into focus by hand
after sunriso by tho pushing of a
lover. Indicators show when tho true
focus Is obtained and In an hour 150
pounds of steam is generated. Tho
englno is then started by turning tho
throttlo valve and tho plant may bo
loft to Itself. Tho clockwork makes
tho reflector follow tho sun all day,
the oiling is automatic, tho boiler is
filled In tho same way. Doing at
tached to a pump such a motor can
lrrlgato over lOOacres. In tho experi
ment work hero tho work will bo dono
at wolls that havo never been pumped
dry oven by tho best gasolino engines.
It is bolloved that with power to har
ness tho sunshine of western Kansas
and with a raaehino that will work all
day and cost nothing for fuel great
results can bo obtained. Tho winds
havo proved too variablo for depen
dence, but with tho underflow as tho
basis of the wolls in tho valley and
tho steady work of tho motor, equal
to n ten-horso engine, water ought to
bo abundant.

Cnn the Missouri Pacific Railroad Use
the Has Under Its Ten Miles of
Right of Way?
At tbls tlmo whon unloascd gas land
is soiling nt from $200 to 1000 an aero
In this county any proposition which
seems to lndlcato a way to place addi
tional gas land on tho market is of
intorcst.
In a conversation in Iola tho other
day somo ono raised tho question as to
whether or not tho Missouri Pacific
railroad had over thought of using or
could uso in caso it did wish to tho
land which it occupies as a right-of-way
through tho county. Tho roacl
was built yoars ago beforoj gas was
found in any quantity. It travorsos
tho best of the developed field from
Iola to Gas City and Lanarpo and
Moran. Anyono familiar with tho
field would not wish a better strip of
ground In the uholo county along
which to erect a lino of derricks and
sink wells. For ten miles tho road
passes through tho best of tho known
field with a hundred feet of ground of
its own. That mean a hundred and
twenty odd acres of tho finest gas
land. Can tho road sink wells on this
right-of-way? Can It givo tho privi
lege of sinking wells to factory peo
plo? Tho land Is far better than
would bo a bqunro plcco containing
tho same area for it taps tho entire
field. It is an interesting sourco of
speculation.

Herb Whltakcr, tho clerk, recognized
ono of tho stolen hats on his head. Ho
seized tho hat and while Charlio Stono
went for a policeman Herb held tho
boy. Louis finally said that Bert
Grubbs gave him tho hat. In Louis's
kit where he works at Brlgham's moat
market a pair of suspenders was found
and identified by tho clerks and a pair
of now trousers found, but not from
tholr stock. Taylor Newman's homo

and more clothing, a shirt and other
goods found.
Young Grubbs was taken to jail
and it is hoped that a ntco bunch of
young colored thioves will bo brought
to justice through this find.
