President A. B. Stlckney of the Chicago

"Just my natural Inclination to see
things and to keep moving about. I do
not know anything of the reports that Mr.
Ilaarley's line and mine are to be merged.
If there Is anything In the report It has
not been referred to me aa yet.
"Tha grain business, like all others, must
be handled along lines of perfect Integrity
and fairness by all concerned If It Is hoped
to make It a success," said Mr. Stlckney.
"I trust the differences which have arisen
will be adjusted In a short time.
For some time after the opening of the
Kansas City exchange It waa torn and dis
rupted by similar troubles, but the mem
bers soon learned that It was better to deal
fairly, and matters there have now settled
- down to a stable basis, where all have con
fidence and all push together for success.
I anticipate that things will so adjust
themselves In this city.
"I know nothing of this viaduct matter.
That contention arose while I was absent
la Europe. It is my understanding that
the boys made a good thing out of It, said
I guess we will just introduce another or
dinance and keep the thing going, so that
probably they can make another good
thing. There Is nothing like keeping mat
ters moving."
Bamuel Stlckney, general manager of the
Great Western, Is with the president. They

A hninln.iit railroad official Who WSS
In

He has found thst Nebraska ha produced

fiftonn min bushels of oats. 10,000,00" Dusnels
of
rye and barley, and 7,000,000 bushela of pot

he
"While the wheat crop In bulk Is not
quito up to the average, the quality li
murh better than it Is In surroundlni
sfatee and this offsets the decreased pro
duction. If this warm weather continues
foe three weeks longer I believe Nebras
will have the greatest corn crop In its
hixtnrv. The fruit and berry crop Is the
largest which ever has been raised In the
tnte. Taktna- everything Into considers
tlon, crop conditions In Nebraska this year
have bwn about as nearly perfect as they
could be. Of course there nave Been some
drawbacks, but they are hardly worthy
of mention nrovld nor the corn crop

for an enormous business from Nebraska
this fall and we will be very much dlsap

The- inquest was brief, being a plain re
cital of what occurred at the Rees home
Thursday evening. The chief witness was
Adolph Hubermann, who was Von Haller"s
companion that evening. Hubermann's tes
timony did not disclose anything particu
larly new. One of his statements was:
After the trouble we ran along the rail
road tracks and when we came to the
boulevard Von Haller stopped, looked
around and, firing a fhot Into the air, said:
They hadn't better follow us or I'll shoot
them all them!" "
Hubermann described In detail the tragic
event and told how he tried several times
to get Vou Haller away from Mr. and Mrs.
Reea, even when ha was threatened by
Von Haller. Hubermann testified that the
only blow he saw struck was by Von
Haller aiid also said that the fatal shot
ollowed In about a second after the blow.
Hubermann, said to the twFt of his Judg

added that the county ought not to expect

AN OLD PROBLEM REVIVED
Do Animals Reason f An Accident
Which Strongly Snpporta the
Affirmative.
...
The other day some careless or cruel
person tossed a lighted match Into the
straw in the cage at Glen Island park. New
Tork City, in which are kept more than 100
monkeys. The straw flared up and. shriek
ing with terror, the monkeys fled from the
flames as far as the cage bars would per
mit. . All but one, a rlng-tailel Brazilian
monkey known as Chet. He came toward
the fire, pushed the big drinking pan close
to the burning straw, upset Its contents
upon the flames, gravely watched them go
out, and then manifested his delight In
monkey fashion.
The keeper, who reached the spot with
a hose Just as the fire was out, told the
many witnesses that the monkey had been
burned several times with cigar and fire
crackers and had been taught that cold
water would relieve the pain. Hence the
keeper concluded that the monkey had rea
soned from such experience that water
would put out Are.
In spite of John Burroughs and some
other eminent naturalists who Insist that
animals do not and cannot reason. It seems
difficult to believe that the monkey's act
did not ahow reasoning power. Of course It
is possible that the monkey had seen a
man pour water on a fire and that Its act
was merely Imitative.
In view, however, of the universal fear of
fire shown by wild animals and their uni
versal Instinct to get away from flames,
it Is difficult to believe that there was not
some element of reason In the monkey's
conduct In facing the fire rather than run
ning from It.
The debate whether animala reason or
not la endless among naturalists. Never
theless It Is probable that no man who
really deservea and possesses the affection
of one of the more Intelligent animala, such
as a good dog, ha: any doubt that some
animals do sometimes show actual reason
ing power. Chicago Inter Ocean.
DETECTIVE WORK BY A WOMAN

The quick wit of a woman .resulted In
the arraignment of two alleged counter

In the meantime the secret service agents
will follow up the work begun by the wo
man as it Is the opinion of Inspector Flynn.
the local head of the service, that the
prisoners are connected with an extensive
gang who have been passing bogus $S bills
In New Tork City.'
The woman who made the capture Is
Mrs. Helen Frost. She went directly from
the Federal building to her room, packed
up her belongings and left without giving
any hint about where she was going. She
was always something of a mystery to the
other people In the house, who are now
convinced that she is connected with the
secret service
Mrs Frost Is a woman of striking sp
pearance, being nearly six feet In height
and weighing about ZV pounds. She has
yellow hair and Is about forty-two years
old. 8he was In the Astor Place hotel, at
Third avenue and Bt- Mark's place early
Sunday morning when, according to her
testimony, she saw two men pass a bogus
6 bill on one of the waiters. She at once
determined to entrap the men. She had a
M bill, which she asked the younger of
the pair to change. He gave her three tS
bills and his companion handed ber the
fourth, lo an Instant she saw that all tne
bills were counterfeit.
She quietly sent one of the m altera for
a policeman. Officers Bauer and KftrtVr ef
the Fifth street station, responded, and

NOW FOR COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY
A Forela-a Invention Which Promises
to Increase the Joy at Amntenr
nnd Professional.
The kodak artist, weary with the sea
son's uniform results of his skill, has cause
for rejoicing. Color photography has been
practical'y demonstrated in Paris, Berlin
and Vienna, and is within the reach of all.
If the news that comes from these different
points Is not shown to be misleading, the
great mystery which so many scientists In
all parta of the world have been trying- to
solve, of reproducing the colors of nature
In a photograph. Is a mystery no longer.
The Invention Is credited to the Joint ef
forts of an Austrian and a German. Prof,
de 81avlck and Dr. Hesekiel, and, con
trary to all previously tried expedients, the
photographic, Instrument itself is only an
Incident to tne operation. 1 ne paper on
which the picture is printed produces the
colors. The Ives procees snd the experi
ments of Charles Cros, Ducos de Hauron,
IJppmnnn and others all proceeded on the
hypothesis that In order to obtain color
effects It was necessary to photograph the
object through screens anf., combining the
three colors thus obtained, to produce as
nearly as could be the harmony Intended.
The new process takes the negative after
it is developed and fixed, and prints from
It directly on the color-sensitised paper,
and by a process of washing the most deli
cate differentiation of tone In the color
scheme of nature Is produced. The results
obtained at first trial by merely following
the directions on the package of paper,
are raid to be perfect In the hands of a
person of ordinary skill and Judgment.
The secret rests on scientific grounds, and
Is held to account readily for tha wonders
achieved. The paper la covered with ten
chemical coatings, separated each from the
other by layers of soluble gelatin and cor
responding to the length of a certain Hrht
wave or certain shade cf color. The light
waves attack the chemical layers with
more or less energy, and accordingly as
they produce different colors are stopped In
their passage through the layers. The
paper ia then aubjected to a flow of water of
a certain degree of heat, which dissolves
the gelatin and exposes the different colors
according to the amount of light energy
with which they have been affected in the
process of printing. When the process of
washing the print Is finished the picture
stands out In the full radiance of the colors
of nature, the blue sky with the white
clouds, and the different shades ot green
of the foreground with the shades of green
of distant tneea.
The process hss become a fashionable fad
In the cities named, and everybody Is hunt
ing up favorite negatives to print on the
new paper. Thus smsteur photography
has received a new energlxlng force, which
will add to the Joy of living In those who
pursue the art. while professional photog
raphy will be benefited no less. Washing

"There is no fool like an old fool." says
a Kansas paper in commenting on the cu
rious case of S. B. Fisher, a rich farmer
living across the Oklahoma line not far
from Chetopah. And the case Is described
by the Oswego Independent as follows:
"Fisher Is a widower 60 years of age and
he has grown daughters who attend to his
household. Two years ago Miss Alice
Riker, the pretty and accomplished
daugter of J. M. Rlker, of South Osweio
township, went to Wasson to teach schoo!
and boarded with the Fisher family. I:
was not long before Flther sought to pay
marked attentions to the young Kansas
girl, and, thoujrh he waa repulsed and told
that his pleadings were In vain, he con
tinued to express his undying love at avery
opportunity. On Miss F.lker's return home
he wrote love epistles of great length, all
of which were unanswered by her. Fisher

"Fisher celebrated at Chetopah on the
Fourth of July, and while there met three
them of bis mad Infatuation for the Os
young colored men from Oswego. He toll
weffo girl, and two of them decided to
'work' the old man. using- a novel method.
Fisher received a letter a few days later
from Oswego signed 'Johnny Wmiatra.'
who alleged that he was a very c'oee friead
of Alice Rlker, and Inclosed a letter pur
porting to come from her. In this totter he
was requested to send V to Miss Rlker,
as she desired to buy clothes which her
cruel father refused her.
The money waa promptly forwarded.
Again, a few days later, Flther was In
duced to send and a reply waa sent In
which Miss Rlker promised to marry him.
About thla time he concluded to vlalt his
lady love and went to Oswego, where h
Inquired for Johr.ny WU'Jams in order lo
arrange a plan of meeting with the girl.
No one knew Johnny Williams. About this
time he met Dave Rice, one of tha yount
colored men with whom he had frater
nised at Chetopah. When Rice was stked
about Johnny Williams, he said, evidently
thinking that the whole matter was a gooi
Joke. "Good. Land, man, dat a Willis

"Soon the whole story came out- Brown
and Porter were placed under arrest,
charged with obtslnlng money under false
pretenses. The Porter bey is well eduogyed
