The neighbors of Jacob Turk , whoso resi dence was vlsltod by fire last Sunday night , Rent word to thu pollcu station last ovcnlng that hu had been lying In thu house all dny , apparently asleep , and that they were un able to arouse him. They were afraid that something was wroni ; . The patrol wairon was sent to the house , nnd the city physician was called to look after the man's wants. When hu got llicro he pronounced It simply a case of too much lake water or other liquid refreshment which Turk had Imbibed whllo at Manawa. Hu was moved to Kiel's hotel , and it wns not thought late In the night that ho would suffer any permanent effects. The quo wnrranto proceedings which were instituted by J. W. Crossland some tlmo ago for the purpose of having the motor com pany's charter annulled came up In superior court Monday morning for trial. The case 1ms been doing til's ' for the last four Mon days , according to announcement made sev eral days In advance In each instance , but It was not until yesterday that the attorneys were all Induced to como together and got ready for business.

' INGRATITUDE OF ONE OF HIS PROTEGES J. I' . CtirUtlnnnfin ( lpt lln Prlcml Into Trouble Short In Hid Account ! , lie Trim tu Shllt the Ilium * the Agent , . The friends of J. A. lloff , the well known and popular Agent of the Hock Island Knilroad company In this city , wcro consid erably exercised yesterday whou It wns an nounced that n now man hnd tnkcn his place In thu management of the oOlcc , and that Mr. UoH had gene to Chicago to hnvo n personal conference with the officials of the company. Inquiry was nnturnlly prose cuted In all directions for a cause for tjio sudden change. The state of facts elicited , though smowhat vngue , seem to Indicate that Mr. Koft has been unfortunate In having n careless If not dishonest cashier , whoso errors and discrepancies hnvo cre ated wlmt nppcars to bo n shortage of several hundred dol'nrs ' , The cashier Is J. 1 . Christiansen , n young man , who has Ireen nn employe of the ofllco for ninny .years , nnd who has been shown every Kindness by Mr. KofT , rising from the position of messenger boy to that of cashier. Several wcoks ago Mr. Holt discovered thnt the cashier's books wcro In an unsatisfactory condition , and that bis cash wns sadly out of balance. Immediately following the dis covery the cashier handed in his resignation , nnd It was accepted , with thu provision that ho should remain In the ofllco and assist In finding what his employer bolloved to bo simply n series of unfortunate blunders. Aiikofl fur H I'tiKi to Cnlciigo. Christiansen asked for n few days leave nnd n pass to Ch < cago. This wns granted , nnd It is stilted that the young man went Into the general ofllccs of the company with the evident purpose of shifting the rcspou siblllty and trying To square" himself , 'and nuulo some covert Intimations alxnit the b.id condition of the oRloo hero. The company acted quickly upon the hints dropped nnd sent out the traveling auditor to check up. In the meantime Mr. Holt had been working might and day on his cashier's accounts , still In the belief that the clerk had not taken n cent of the missing money. Some things had been discovered that shook his faith slightly , but when the auditor came KofT vigorously defended the young man , declaring that ho had perfect conll- deuce in him. "You have too much confidence in him' " remarked the auditor. "They all claim that the shortage Is only n mistake. " A-thorough examination of the books showed that Christiansen was short about $750. The company was willing to compro mise the mutter , nnd Chrlsllanson's rela tives in the city wore culled upon to niako up the amount , which was turned Into the company a few days ago. When this was settled the company brought up another matter that had been reported by Cliristiaiison on his Chicago visit. That was the fact th.it Acont Holt had paid the salary of ouo of the employes who had been granted u brief leave of absence on account of the dangerous illness of a parent. This was without loss to the company , for tlio other clerks and Mr. HolT himself per formed the absentee's duties by working overtime. Air. Knir Resign * . The consequent quibbling nnd the Irrita tion caused Mr. UolT to telegraph his resig nation to Chicago Saturday and follow it up Dy a personal visit Sunday evening. Yes terday the company placed Mr. George II. Denton , of Stuart , in charge of the olllco. Whether Mr. Hod's resignation will bo finally accepted or not Is n matter of no 1I- tlo concern to the people of the city , who have learned to esteem him very highly. Ho has devoted all his time to the company's ' business and has succeeded In getting for tl.io company n good deal more than Its natu ral share of business. Ho has boon very popular , not only among the railway men of the olty , but with all who have been brought Into contact with him In any way , and his friends hope to see thodifllculty straightened up and Mr. HolT reinstated in his position.

Mrs. Flood was awakened nt that hour by u suspicious sound in the front part of thu building , where the meat market is located , and lighting n lamp went to see wliat was the matter. Just as she opened the door n man , who was In the market room , rushed at her and pushed her up against the wall , nt the same time knocking tlio lamp out of her hnnd. It was partially extinguished nnd in the dark ness the two thieves , who had been ransacking the building , escaped. The lamp fell into the sawdust on the lloor nnd in n moment the place was in llamcs. Thu alarm was given and the flro department was cnlk'd to extinguish the bla7.o. They succeeded In getting the upper hand of the lire , but not until the stock and fixtures of the market had been ruined. The llames were prevented from spreading to the hack part of the building , however. An investigation showed thnt the thieves had been In the bedroom occupied by .Mr. nnd Mrs. Flood before the latter had been nwak- cued , unit had taken n poekotbook contain ing $ ! 0 in cash out of the pocket of Mr. Flood's trousers. The money was gene , hut the poohotbook lay on the lloor n few feet iiwuy. The damage done by the llro is cs. tlnmted at about ? -00 , and the insurance on thu stock and llxturcs amounts to KX ) . It Is stated , however , thnt there la some uncer tainty as to HID solvency of the company is- suing the policy.

A prominent citizen of Fort Scott , Kan. , who evidently believes in the utter extermination of train robbers atiU has some ideas as to how it should be done , has given these ideas to the Missouri , Kansas & Texas railroad in the hope that it might make an experiment along the line of the ideas advanced. The letter is out of the ordinary , and with a view of making known the advantages of the system of train robber warfare contained in the letter the Missouri , Kansas 5 : Texas lias consented to its publication. It reads : To Tin : GENEUAI. MANAGEH OF THE Mis- SOUHI , KANSAS & TEXAS HAII.UOAD : Dear Sir Some weeks siuco I was a passenger on ono of your ti\iius with a ticket from Fort Scott , to Houston. AVe took supper at Vluita and wcro held up an hour later at Priors Creek station. Therefore this lotter. From the commencement to the end I took consid erable interest in the proceedings. I ob served that few exhibited fear , thedominant sensation being curiosity. I observed thnt the | robbers wcro not only poorly organized , but had more or less apprehension about re sults to themselves , the follows at our cars continually crying to these In front : "Well , ain't you about through up there ? " and "For Christ's ( sake , won't you over got through up there I ? " anil "What in h 1 are you follows doing up there ? " and so on all through thd "job' " I observed that the llrst shot llred by the express messenger put out all thu lights in the car ( this on his statement ) . Now , my observation leads mo to the con clusion that if your company will run a 24-inch strip of boiler iron around the bodies Just below the windows of your cars , put four or llvo Winchesters In each cor just above thu windows In glass-covered boxes just ns you do axes and saws , marked "For Kaiergonclcs , " post up notices In each car offering a reward , In advance , of say ! 00 or fyK ( ) apicco for "fresh dead train robbers , " I think you will see the meekness nnd apathy of the ordinary to-bo-robbed pas senger disappear and thu American public will take care not only of itself , but o * any stray robbers "caught In the act" along the Hue of the Missouri , IvMisas & Texas. The average traveling American thinks ho has been robbed enough by the time the rail road nnd the sleeper company have both had a whack at him , and if you have any fear of his being the Indirect cause of noncombatants - ants ( women nnd children ) being hurt in the shulllo ( by using the boiler iron ) put the weapon hi Ills hand and thu majority of him will act on his "man. " Add the moro mercenary and , perhaps , more desperate fellows , who would be de lighted tu kill a train robber and make a hundred or two , and you will havu ample protection on every train. Why 1 would not bo much surprised to learn that many train robbers hud "quit the road" and gene gun ning for their erstwhile comrades. Hoping there may bo something now to you in my suggestions , nnd assuring you that it docs make a man mud tu bo robbed , and bollov- ing that with a fair chance any man will light , I rojiaiu yours , etc. Piles of people have piles , uut Do Witt's Witch Hazel Sulvo will euro them.

"I look in vain in the literature of the day , " said a middle nfjcd man to the Now York Sun , "for stories of tlio haij- Rage smasher , such as were current thirty or forty yearn afjo , which used to interest mo very iniioh. Who that is old enough cannot recall the story of the bastfajjo master and the oiroua man's Biinko':1 The circus man's trunks , it will bo remembered , had been at one time and another pretty roughly handled , and so one day he got a rather Ilimsy trunk and put in it a boa constrictor stricter twenty-two feet lontf , and he marked on the outside or tlio trunk : 'Don't ' break ! Boa constrictor inside. ' " 'Oil , I've just been watting for some body to ship a boa constrict or by this line , ' aaid the baggage smasher , and ho grabbed the trunk by one of its handles , intending to toss itover his head , but ho yanked with such sudden energy that ho pulled the handle off. Then ho kicked tlio trunk over , the other end up and grabbed it by the other handle , lifted it and dropped it and smashed it wide open , and there was a snake in it , and the siittKe came out and uncoiled himself , and when he coiled himself up again ho was around tlio baggage master , and "The bnggugo master never checked any baggage after that. "Another story told of the tribula tions of a traveler whoso trunks had been smashed and how finally lie filled a big trunk with dynamite and 'marked 'Handle with care ! Dynamited " 'Dynamite ! ' said the baggage master , with line scorn , and ho pulled the trunk down from the top of u high pile and let it fail on ono corner and "He never returned. ' 'Then there was the story about the angered traveler who placed upon the corners of his trunk patches , of some material so elastic and springy that i you dropped the trunk hard it boundei into the air thousands of feet. This trunk eatno to the station on the sum mit of a great load of trunks , and the baggage master seized itby the handle , braced ono foot against the load and pulled the trunk oil' and lot it fall on ono eoi nor and "It never cnmo back. "And the owner sued and recovered for the loss of his trunk. "It might not bo easy in a paragraph conclusively to assign reasons for the de cline of the trunk story. Certainly the baggage master is as powerful as ever , and surely he cannot have lost in the comparatively brief period of thirty or forty years that line sense of humor that once prompted him playfully to drop a trunk and break it wide open. It seems more probable that ho has shared with with the rest of mankind in that stead ily advancing refinement of methods which has marked our progress in recent years ; that ho is not less humor ous , but only less boisterous than ho was ; and it may be , too , that the fact that trunks generally are made stronger than they were has had something to do with it.

The craze for decoration has of into years taxed to the utmost the ingenuity of tlio designers and inventors to satisfy tlio demand for novelties. In most every household may bo found one or more members , who , w hilo they have neither the talent nor patience , nor porlmjM the time , to learn painting , nro eager to soi/.o upon any sort of decorative work that piomiscH good results with a small outlay of trouble. To meet the demands of tluB class numerous new ideas have been given to the public , saytitho Phila delphia Kecord. Among them may Id Io mentioned siliceno , which is a method of imitating stained glass , and , while it ia really decorative , is so easily done that the veriest tyro may undertake it witli confidence. It docs not make any nrotcntions to rival stained glass , but it is far preferable to any other imitation. The oxpcnso is small , as no cutting , firing or leading i necessary. A nlnirlo sheet of glass is simply treated us in a water color drawing , tlio design being sketched and tlio colors laid on. tfd Ordinary sheet or plato glass is used , and if tins is washed over with silicone , which is really the medium used to mix the colors , a semblance to thu glass used in old windows can be more nearly Mlb tained. If a bcmi-transparunt effect should bo dchircd , use ground glass ' , Hough , wavy glass may bo ellectually iibed in staircase windows , panels for [ ) ! hull doors , screens , etc. Tlio glass must bo perfectly clean before the work is be gun dust upon its Kiirfaco will CIUHO spooks to appear in the finished work. The design , being first drawn on paper , may bo readily transferred by placing the glats over it and tracing tile outline < vith pun and ink. A little ox gall added to the ink will make it How freely. If loadings are to be imi tated ( ami they blumld be in all case.s , an they greatly enhance the ull'ootj , these outlines may bo put in broadly. In thin case all the coloring should be done on tlio eido on which the leadings are drawn , otherwise the painting it > done on thu reverse side from the draw ing , and when thu painting is uomuwhat advanced the ink lines are washed oil. Tlio colors are especially prepared for tlio purpose ; are translucent , and are rendered permanent by the admixture if olllcono. They are quite different rein ordinary colors ; and whllo they nay bo freely mixed together , no other sort may lw mixed with them. Linseed oil may be found useful to prevent tlio colors drying to qulekly. When the Irawhifr is done tlio glass is placed in a letting position , with a .sheet of white . light-colored paper on the table be- iicatn. The table should IK ) so placed tilil the worker may face the light. The Ingcr is usually employed for softening tf [ nt ! > , as in china painting , and is butter limn any tool yet devised for the pur- nose. Should any part of the painting appear dull when dry , a coat of pure siliceno applied with a camel's hair brush will restore brilliancy. To produce an intense tint of the same color over-painting may lw re sorted to ; If it bo desirable to vary it , a wash with some other color may be ap- [ tiled. A brilliant red is obtained by painting with rose-color or scarlet over yellow ; rose over blue or blun over yellow will glvo a .strength of ti5m > . It is also tiesruble ? to add a little roco- color to tlio shade color , which can be purchased already prepared for use. Stippling will smooth a waih which appears rough. White is imitated by applying the pure siliceno thinly with the linger , and high lights are picked out with a penknife or pointed stick. Should corrections bo necessary the error may be washed out with tur pentine or alcohol. Tlio imitation lead ings are improved by covering them with dull silver bronze. When the painting is completely dry an oven wash of pure silicone is given it as a preserva tive , it must be applied in one wasli and should not be repeated. In fixing tlio painting in position it is reversed and put into the sash with thin bits ot-wood between tt and the window proper to prevent the two panes coming in contact. Brushes should be cleansed with turnontino if they become clogged. IIb leftover night in the paint they will bo miinud. There is a good deal in tlio proper se lection of a design. It should not only fit the work , but lit the position for which it is Intended. A coat-of-arms is suited to a staircase or hall , historical subjects or portrait heads to the library , conventional lloral forms to dining roomer or chamber. Healistio flowers or- land scapes are sadly out of place in either real or imitation stained glass. Heralds designs are undoubtedly the easiest of execution , being largely goJinotrliwl in construction , . In painting portraits the leading , of course , appears only in the background and border. This border may bo of an even width all around to represent a frame , or It may bo of any form desired , always keeping the ruling proportion in mind. A common fancy is to make the border of small squares , di vided by leads , with a surios of designs upon them. Thus , the four corner squares are alike , and those at the cen ter of top and bottom and on either side alike ; these that intervene may all bo of dllTorent designs. Fireworks tonight.

Skunks or squirrels or dogs will dig it up and destroy it. Don't put it in your stockings because you can put your stockings , to bettor use by wearing them. Don't wrap it up in an old newspaper or an Old rag and hide it in some corner , because the rats will surely gee hold of it and help you hide it so elVcotutilly ihat you can never find it. The house is n.0 place for your money anyway. Uurglars got it and carry it off and then you lament - mont your foolishness in taking it out of i the bank. If you don't want to invest" ! yovr money let it stay in the bank if it is there. If it is not there don't lose any time in putting it there. All this ilraw- ing'monoy out of the bank and hoarding it contracts the currency and produces a stringency in the money market. The times may be the best imaginable and all ' tlio whso ' legislation conceivable adopted , yet a 'pmitaky feeling can bo suddenly | I started by aconcort of action on the part ' of the people in withdrawing their do- posits from the bank. I j The money in the baulks does not belong to the banks. It is .lie people's money. It is put n the banks for convenience und safety. The batiks use it and the busi- . men borrow it. The great share of ' tlio business of the country is done withx borrowed money. If the people with draw their money from tlio banks the banks can't inako loans , and the busi ness men , unable to borrow , go by the boaid , and this condition of things con tinued for any grea length of time pro duces a panic , and then those who have drawn their money out of the ban KB , and in reality produced the panic , will find they are the first to stilTor. If you have any money you are not using" put it in the bank. Piles of people nuvc pi.os , nut Do Witt's Witch Hiuol Stilvo willcuro thoii. : Only Short Mint DIMVMK. PiTT.siiuito , July HI.
