An Inventory of Its Contents Nnlls, Knlvoii, llns mill Tacks tijr tho Handful Tho llnrlntr Knlfo Tlmt Worried Illm Ilia Uo- cover Almost Certain Has Few I'arnllols. Kansas Citv, Mo., Juno It -Dr. E Von Quast of tho city health depart ment has a two-bladed pockot-knlfo with an ebony and brass mounted handlo which, it is asserted, is tho property of tho city marshal of Pilot Grove, Mo. The knlfo was swallowed one week ago to-day by Harry Whal Ion, otherwise the "human ostrich," .while giving a f.lrcct performance of gastronomlcal feats in that place. Dr. E. Von Quast, assisted by a num ber of other surgeons, cut Whallen's stomach open at thu German hospital tills morning and took therefrom over 130 nnlls, knives, screws and tacks, among them being tho marshal's big Harlow knife. This Is an netual and complete in ventory of tho hnrdwaro, glasiwaro tind cutlery taken from Whallen's btomach: WHAT HE HAD IN HIM. 1 1-bladcd knife, .1 inches long. 1 3-bladed Harlow knife, 4 inches long. 1 knife blade, :i J4 inches long. 1 knife blade, 3 Inches long. 3 knife blades, 3 inches long. 1 knife blade, t inch long. 33 largo eight and ten-penny fence nails and spikes. .1 1 six-penny wire nails, sharp pointed. 30 shingle nails, 1 inch long. 10 carpet tacks and small wire nails. horseshoe nail. .1 largo screws. 1 barbed wiro staple. 3 ounces fine glass. Tho astonishing fact h that Whallen carried this remarkable collection of junk in his stomach a week anil is still alive. Tho case is tho most re markable of its kind that has over coino to tho attention of doctors nnd surgeons in Kansas City, and it has few paralells in the history of surgery. Whallen is a professional showman. He began swnllowing nr.ils and glass when ho was a lad 10 year3 old. He Boon found his way into a dime mu seum and later Into a side show Ho travoled' all over tho United States with Illinium's nnd other big circuses as a "human ostrich" and a contor tionist. Ho can twist himsolf into almost any shape, so supple aro his joints, nnd until a week ago he could swallow with safety any object that would pass down his throat. CAUSE OF HIS TltOUHLE. Not long ago Whallon was stranded in St Louis. Uo began to work his way to Kansas City by giving street performances In, small towus, Hpon these occasions ho would swallow nails, knives and tacks and nny In credulous individual in tlio nudienco who cared to risk his pockot knife for the snko of fu-'ther testing Whallen's swallowing ability was gouorawy uo commodateii. The pockot knlfo feat caused Whal len's trouble, lie swallowed a two bladed Harlow knifo belonging to tho city marshal of Pilot Grove and it lodged in his stomach. Thursday ho went to tho city dispensary and told Dr. Van Quast and Dr. Smvtlio that ho had 100 nails, knives, tacks and other hardware and cutlery in his stomach. They refused to bolicvo his story, but upon examining him found that some hard substance had lodged there. Whallen insisted that ho was telling the, truth and it was determined to ap ply tho X rays. This was done by Dr. J. N. Scott in th presence of several doctors and newspaper reporters. X ray proto graphs of Whallon's btomach were taken with tho powerful Crooke's tube machine. WHAT X HAYS SHOWED. Thoso photographs showed the bono framo worlc of tho man's body and a dark rpot almost as large as a man's hand showed tho exact location of Che mass of knives, nulls and glass. An effori was mado to look through Whal len's body with tho X rays and tho lluoroscope. His ribs and vertebral could be easily discerned, his heart pulsations seen and tho metal mass outlined, but tho rays wero not pow erful enough to define what tho object really was. It wus found that the metal was lodged in tho lnrgc sack which is technically called the stom ach. Whallen's sufferings became in tense as the incongruous substances remained in his stomach, nnd he de termined to have an operation per formed. As his calling would indicate, the "human ostrich" Is a man of nerve. He said ho did not fear tho operation. At the conclusion of the operation Whallen was weak and of eourso un conscious, but tho surgeons said his condition wns good and that his chanco of recovery was excellent Shot While About to lClope.

At tho afternoon session the vest ment question was taken up again, and after a long dobato tho council proceeded to voto on tho orlglnal'mo tlon to make tho black gown tlio vest mont to bo used on nil occasions, ex cept by thoso who aro now using tho surplice. It was voted on "by orders," und tho result was n victory for tho blnok gown by 3P to 1.1 among tho clcrtry and 31 to 13 among tho laymen. The joint voto was !S7 to 37.

A Itastnrdljr Outrage. LEAVENWomit, Knn., Juno 15. Be tween 4 and 5 o'clock this morning a cannon-like report was heard at tho Soldiers' home, and the beautiful resi dence of Governor Andrew J. Smith, commandant of tho home, wns all but demolished. Dynamite was employed In the out rago and tho explosion nrouscd many residents of this city and houses trem bled as If in an earthquake shock. In the barracks the shock was tenlfic enough to throw veterans from their cots, and prompt work was required on the part of the commandant to nre vent a berious panic. One veteran, who was occupying a scat on tho lawn, was thrown to the ground: - - Mrs. Smith's escape "from Instant deatli was miraculous, thu explosion was directly b.cnonth her bed chamber. She usually sleeps upon a couch, but lust night occupied 11 bed in tlio samo room, but on the side furthest from the outer wall. She heard tho shut ters rattle, but saw no one. A moment later the explosion followed, und sho found herself in the midst of flying furniture and shattered window panes. One entire side of her room was torn away. Tlio couch sho usually occu pied caught the full force of tho ex plosion and wns hurled across tho room, passing directly over her bed and landing upon a bureau. Governor Smith and daughter, Miss Daisy Smith, occupied rooms on tlio second floor, nnd were far enough re moved from the seat of tho explosion to escape tho serious consequences suf fered by Mrs. Smith. Hesides being cut and bruised by broken glass and pieces of flying fur niture, Mrs. Smith was completely prostrated by the shock and is now in a precarious condition. Mrs. Smith has been in delicate health for years. The scene at the governor's resi dence is one of wreckage and confus ion. Tho brick walls arc shattered and torn, the cast side being almost wholly blown out, tlio windows broken and debris is scattered over tho ground. The whole interior was wrecked, bric-a-brac scattered about the various apartments, and furniture tossed about and piled up in a confused mass. A SUSPECT AltUESTED. About one hour after the explosion the police authorities arrested Joseph W. Oliver, a dishonorably discharged veteran, for the crime. lie wns found in liis room nt a Cherokco street board ing house whero lie had just arrived after having been out all night Many persons urc read' to bollevc ho is im plicated. His trousers wero bedrag gled, showing he had walked through tall grass, and his shoes were soaking wet and covered with blue grass seed. Ho was In a surly mood and when taken into custody expressed regret that Governor Smith had escaped death Afterward ho ro fused to say any thing. Another dishonorably dis charged veteran is suspected of com plicity, but has not been apprehended. Oliver is a tough character, and a few months ago was arrested and pun ished for deliberately shooting intonn electric car. A few nights ago John Hiringcr's powder magazine was robbed, and it is believed tho robber is the one who caused the explosion. It is the universal opinion in this city that the outrage is a direct result of the persecution waged avainst Gov ernor Smith for the past five or six years by certain persons in Leaven worth and elsewhere in Kansas. Thrents to blow up tho governor have been freely made by discharged veter ans since tlio national board of man-aijcr-. made the order transferrins Colonel Smith to the Pacific branch home at Santa Monica, CaL.

It was argument nctivo nnd- lacking In any severe denunciatory, features. The Senator held that tho rates proposed gave the refiners nn excessive differential and pointed oat how they had thrived on tho one eighth differential of tho present law. Mr. Vest severely criticised tlio Sugar trust and argued that tho rates were a further tribute to its vast re sources. Mr. Caffery of Louisiana also opposed the schedule as a whole. Early in the day Mr. Tillnnn of South Carolina made a lively speech in favor of tho amendment giving an ex port a sty on agricultural products. After some running debate a voto wus taken on the Cannon amendment providing nn export bounty for ngrl cultural products, and it was defeated yeas, 10; nays, 50.
