Why Rogers is Prosecuted. Chairman Leland of the Republican state central committee has given out the following statement of his reasons for preferring charges against Senator William Rogers as a member of the board of regents of the state university: "The great educational institutions of Kansas have always been the special pride of her people. Immense sums are spent annually in its maintenance and enlargement.

The people of Kansas hope to make it one of the greatest universities in the United States. Anything which tends to lower its moral tone will tend rapidly to its destruction. "I it the duty of every citizen of the state to protect this great institution from contamination with any evil influence. Evidence is abundant ly showing unfit to that act as Senator one of Rogers the retchits by reason of bis personal habits. "The statutes of the state provide that public officers guilty of drunkenness shall be removed.

Against no other class of officers should the statutes be more rigorously enforced than regents of our educational institutions. "For these reasons, and knowing the fact in relation to Rogers' habits, I feel it my duty as chairman of the Republican state central committee and as a citizen as well, to proceed to rid the university board an example so injurious to its future." Seeing Sound. In Prof. DeMotte's lecture tonight the sounds from voice and musical instruments are thrown upon the screen so that they can be seen while they are heard.

THE GODEY COMPANY, Lafayette Place, New York. AN ESCAPE FROM HOUNDS.

Fadesirable Experience of Boy Pursue by Hunter's Pack. A small boy playing the part of the 1 fox in an exciting chase on the Cedar Hollow hills near Phonixville, says the Philadelphia Record, narrow ly escaped being torn to pieces by paok of hounds the other day. The dogs had not enjoyed a run for weeks, and their owner decided to give them little exercise. Taking a bag from the box In which he keeps several foxes, and which the Reynards slept upon, he gave it to a boy. He told the lad to drag the heavily-soented bag across the hills, and he would turn loose the hounds.

The boy had a long start and had disappeared beyond the brow of distant knoll when the owner released eager doga Around they ciroled antil one of them struok trail, and sway they dashed in pursuit of the bogus fox. Instantly a great fear seized the hun ter. It dawned upon him that if the hounds overtook the lad they would tear him to pieces. Without longer hesitating he rushed to the stable, bridled a horse and galloped in pursuit of the baying hounds. They had good start, and the owner knew that the depended upon whether the boundle the horsemen reached him no real fox chase did the veteran hunter ever ride more furl ously.

It was 8 long, hard gallop, but he had told the boy where to drag the bag, and by a short cut reached him shead of the hounds. The dogs were close upon him and running madly. The owner seized the astonished boy and lifted him upon the horse beyond the reach of the hounds, which he could even then hardly prevent from tearing the boy to pieces. By Merest Chance.

The days of the young chieftain Mich-ik-ma-kwa were numbered and listening one heard in the night, faint voices from the mountain calling: "Come Mich-ik-ma-kwa, she waits for thee." The spirits who dwell in the earth, the air, the fire and the water, had already told far and wide that the young the Winnebagos would soon exchange the sorrows of earth for the hs.

Scarce a ripple stirred the water and as I rowed further out, I saw a most beautiful woman before me. She was standing on the water and her dress shone like the sand on the shore of the Spirit Isle. Her yellow hair fell down to her feet, I rowed straight toward her, and as I came near she kept changing, her face became pale and her eyes lost their splendid luster and as I came to the place where stood I saw ouly a great rock, with the head of a man and the body of a fish before me.

For a long time I knew not what to do, at last I resolved to bring the spirit an offering of tobacco and to address it. "Beautiful so I spoke, "why has thy figure so suddenly 1 become transformed; is that well, since thy glowing beauty has kindled in my soul the flame of a deathless love? "Mich-ik-ma-kwa" sighed the answer that the wind brought me: "It is 1 not hate that caused me to appear to you as a living woman only in distance; I also have gazed upon thee with eyes of love, but it is not permitted to spirits that they should mingle with creatures of flesh and blood. I have shown thee my true form, therefore choose between a longer life or a speedy union with your beloved one." Since that minute I have longed for death; day after day have I prayed to the Great Spirit that He would take back the life that He gave me and I believe that he has granted my prayer. She calls me Oh, I come, I come to thee, my beloved, bringing thee berries and flowers." Thus dies the young chief of the Winnebagos from love for a Spirit: Bride. -Eva Katharine Clapp, in Chicago Saturday Evening Herald.

Savage Stallions. Stallion fights are not uncommon on the pastures of Chincoteague island, where some hundreds of ponies run wild. Each full-grown stallion leads a band of mares and colts. As: the younger stallions approach full growth they are the objects of jealousy on the part of their elders, and so frequent and savage are the fights that the older stallions must, after a few years, be re moved from the pasture. The stallions of the Chincoteague breed are considerably heavier than the mares, and very sturdy.

They are excellent swimmers, and they sometimes swim narrow arms of Chincoteague sound to islets where the marsh grass is especially rich and vivid. -N. Y. Sun. The Retort Clerical.

"Since you take me to task so roundly for my failings," said the physician, somewhat nettled, "let me ask why you don't restrain your own son. He gambles, drinks, and plays the races."

Among some visitors to Seattle the other day was Peter Gallagher, a rancher living three miles from ton, says the Seattle Press-Times.

Mr. Gallagher is one of the pioneers of the sound country, and has lived on the same place for twenty years or more, taking up a quarter section as a homestead from the government. By years of hard toil he has cleared up and improved a splendid place, which, though secluded from the outside world, is a model ranch, of which the owner is justly proud. Mr. Gallagher is not given to hunting and does not molest wild game of any kind, and to this may be ascribed the tameness of a number of animals which make the woods in that vicinity a home.

One of these, a black bear, has for a year visited his stockyard almost daily and eaten with the cattle, lying down among the calves and displaying neither fear nor ferocity. Mr. Gallagher goes among the stock and frequently passes within two or three feet of his bearship, not only in the yard but in the woods. He pays no attention to the bear and the the contrary, eats with. evident satislatter never offers to molest him-on a faction pieces of bacon and other scraps from the table that are thrown out to him.

The bear is a handsome three hundred pound fellow and appears to enjoy the company of the cattle. Other pets are a pair of fawns that run around with the young stock on the place, eating with the calves and lying down among them as contented as though with their own kind. They evidently come from the vicinity of Cedar lake, where considerable hunting is done and from which section game is being driven. Mr. Gallagher says he had rather part with the best cow on his place than one of the fawns.

This is the second time fawns have taken up their abode at this place, the first pair coming there about five years ago and remaining with his stock for two years, even going into the stables and being locked up over night. He gave them to a neighbor, who in turn presented them to friends at Snohomish and the Skagit. This sounds fishy, but only is it vouched for, "hot but it is further said that wild ducks and geese alight in his yard and show no fear in his presence, though the appearance of a stranger is the signal for flight. Mr. Gallagher never hunts and will not allow hunting on his place nor interference in any way with his pets, either quadrupeds or winged.

A COMET COMING. Splendid Traveler Due to Come Within Human Vision in 1911. Halley's comet is coming back, the comet which in the year 1066 shed 8 celestial splendor over the Norman conquest and whose terror-inspiring visit was commemorated by the hand of Queen Matilda in the Bayeux tapestry; the comet that in 1456, the year of the battle of Belgrade, scared the Turk and Christian alike and was anathematized by a bull from the pope; the comet whose strange scimetar form still chilled the marrow of the ignorant and superstitious at its latest return in 1835. It is yet far away, says the Chicago Times, but the eye of science sees it, already within the orbit of Neptune, rushing sunward and earthward with constantly increasing velocity as it falls along the steep curve of its orbit. And a call to arms, a call for preparation, has just been issued from one of the chief watch towers of astronomy.

Prof. Glasenapp announces that the computing bureau established by the Russian Astronomical society has undertaken the calculation of the true path of Halley's comet with a view to predicting the exact date of the next return. He hopes that astronomers aoquainted with unpublished observetions of the comet will communicate the information to the society. After its perihelion the comet was watched retreating out into space until May, 1836, when it was finally swallowed from sight. It will be in perihelion again about 1911, but with the great telescopes now in existence and the greater ones that may then have been constructed it is probable that the comet will be detected coming sunward a year or more earlier than that.

The fact that the labor of computing the precise time of its return is already about to begin gives assurance that the next time it will not be a question of how many days but rather of many hours or even minutes the calculations will be in error. A Wonderful Violin. David Johnson, of Alliance, has in his possession probably the oldest violin in America. The instrument has been a family relic for many years, having been the property of Johnson's father, Ellis N. Johnson, the centenarian who died a few years ago.

The violin is 8 very handsome piece of woodwork, the rim around it having buen cut from thick wood and richly carved. On the stem is carved a bust of one of the old-time masters. On the baok, in inlaid work, is a design representing one of the ancient towns of Italy, while the Prost are mounted with pearls. The instrument very rich, deep tone, but cannot be tuned to any of the violins now factured. It is almost an exact counterpart of the famous Mojetta violin, and has been handled by some of the finest musicians of the land.

Around the edge is a Latin inscription signifying: "Whilst living was in the woods for God, but dying I passed away into a sweet death." The exact age of the violin is not known, but exceeds two centuries and possibly four. An Ingenious Rain Producer. A rainmaker in India has an up paratus, consisting of a rocket capable of rising to the height of a mile, containing A reservoir of ether. In its descent it opens a parachute, which causes it to come down slowly. The ether is thrown out in fine spray, and its absorption of heat is said to lower the temperature about It sufficiently to condense the vapor and produce a limited shower SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

He studied pedagogy and literature in Halle and Paris, and taught it in the university of Nashville for two years. He will enter his work in New York city next October. Expect the Best. One of the surest ways of getting a person to show out his best side, either spirit or in work, is to expect it.

The employe who has an impression that his employer thinks him good for nothing, the child who feels himself treated as though he had no right motives except those that are pounded into him, is not likely to show himself at his best in aspiration or energy. Many an unruly scholar can be easily tamed by showing faith in him, and everyone can be made better by drawing more surely than by S. Times. Poisonous Wounds. Scratches made by finger nails, and also those of cats and other carnivorous animals, are always more or less gerous, because of the inoculation with infectious germs which is liable to follow.

Such wounds should always be thoroughly cleansed by hot boiled water, and dressed antiseptically with absorbent cotton or clean white rags sterilized by heat. The same treatment should be used for all bites from dogs, cats or mice, even if not mad; they eat putrid flesh, and their mouths and teeth may be foul. -Good Health. He Knew His Business.

Visit to the Prison in New York for the Canine Kind. The phrase "Love me, love my dog," expresses by implication a profound psychological truth. It is proverbial that nothing tests one's self-control assault upon one's canine companion.

Even a verbal assault will strain the temper of the mildest man, and as for physical violence, why, that takes the affair entirely beyond the resources of philosophy. All a this being axiomatic, it follows anyone who takes the canine pet for a stroll in New York city without either muzzle or chain takes his temper in hand, and wanders over a mine of anger that may be sprung at any moment. For sooner or later he will see a burly fellow sweep down upon the pet, perhaps as it runs between very legs, and bear it struggling away, tossing it ruthlessly into the depths of the dismalest old Black Maria that even New York can boast. The man is an official licensed "dog-catcher," the vehicle a sort of ante morte hearse chat every vear curries several thous. Jugs Ul their la journey in the world.

Still the opL re procedure will avail you nothing. can not the robber by force. he is probably much more that ur match to begin with, and even it he were, not, there are two or three more of him in the wagon, besides which the law is altogether on his side.

You had best not try to coercion, therefore. But 'there is a far stronger power in the community than coercion, as you well know if you have lived long in the metropolis. It is traction. Try that if you like; but vel of that will probably be ineffectual. Those catchers get but forty cents for your dog, yet your offer of a dollar each is declined.

If anything could come near convincing you that you are dreaming, it is that experience. Your anger turns to derment. What can it mean? Well, some dog-catchers' licenses have been revoked recently, and perhaps the present incorruptibles are fearful that they might be served in the same way. sibly you look to them as if you might "peach," and they do not trust you. Or perhaps they do not trust one another.

If one were aloneit might be different. Or again-strange that this thought should come lastperhaps the catchers are conscientious. At all events, as the matter stands, you will never see your dog again unless you go after him to the city dog-pound. But, after all, you need not feel so badly about it, for it is worth your while to go there anyway, just out of curiosity. Since you own a dog you are, of course, a lover of dogs, and any day you may find at the pound a strange assortment of these animals.

The ap proach to the pound is not altogether inviting. You go through a street bordered with fruit markets of not quite the highest grade, where the venders are jabbering in what sounds like Choctaw, but probably is a species of garbled Italian. Coming to the East river, you see a long, building projecting out over water, supported, Lakedweller fashion, on piles. The sign "Dog-Pound" is over the door. Entering, you find in charge a man who does not seem to regard the purloining of your dog at all the serious matter you think it, but who answers you civilly enough and turns you over to one of the uniformed dogjailers, who escorts you into the prison proper.

Such a din of bow-wows and howls and yelps and so on throughout the range of the canine vocabulary you never heard before, not even at the dog show. Three or four hundred dogs are huddled together in two great cages, or pens. Big dogs and little dogs, black and white and yellow and brindle dogs, mastiffs and hounds and setters and pugs and poodles, and--more than all the rest-an assortment that are simply dogs, with a question mark added at this in some cases. Some bound eagerly to greet you; others cower in the remotest corner. A few are bold and confident, a few angry and morose, more are cowed and despondent, but every one looks eagerly toward the door in hope of seeing a friendly familiar face as you enter-a face that would be the most welcome sight in the world to each particular -that of his master.

Your own dog flies to you and is rescued, and all the others give a howl of disappointment, but many of them come to lick your hand and make friends with one whom they recognized as a lover of their race. Every dog of them is yearning for sympathy. A poor little King Charles cowering over there in the corner, if he is not actually weeping, is surely wishing that that privilege were not denied his kind, for he looks lachrymose enough. "Will my mistress never come?" he seems to And water-spaniels and poodles say the same thing in pantomime. Even the unintelligent eyes of the little pugs have a despairing, wistful look that goes to your Weekly The Perfume of Flowers.
