FAME AT LAST FOR A COURT REPORTER

Arthur Curme's Renown Has Reached Kansas City After All These Years. REQUEST FOR POST CARD. VOUNG WOMAN HEARD OF STENOGRAPHIC FEAT AND IS EVIDENTLY A HERO WORSHIPPER WILL GET CARD. "I was reading in the Kansas City Star of your wonderful stenographic feat. I am collecting post cards and would feel honored to get one from you." Arthur A. Curme, court stenographer, today received a post card on which the above was written. It was signed by Miss Eva Page, 4015 Locust .street, Kansas City, Mo. "Ah! I have attained fame at last," remarked Mr. Curnie, as he carefully lucked Miss Page's post card into his inside coat pocket. Several days ago Mr. Curme made a remarkable record by transcribing in ten and a half hours, twenty-eight thousand words into typewritten form from his short hand notes, writing an average of forty-five words per minute. This feat was wired by local correspondents to various metropolitan papers and it was generally copied by newspapers all over this part of the United States. Miss Page, who saw the account of Mr. Curme's stenographic feat in a Kansas City paper, is evidently a "hero worshipper," and an ardent autograph collector. Mr. Curme will comply with the young woman's request. His friends have advised him to inform Miss page that he is a married man. Mr. Curnie has also received from Chicago a circular which describes 1 new invention whereby shorthand notes may be taken by the aid of an electrical appliance at the rate of four hundred words per minute. "'No use j for hand labor trying to compete with j machinery,' was Curme's comment when he read the circular. BIDS ARE OPENED ON NUMBER OF BRIDGES Commissioners Were in Session This Afternoon.

COMMISSION'S POWER CALLEDJ. QUESTION Vandalia Raises Point as to Forcing Agreements.

A SEPARATE INTERLOCKER. The power of the Indiana Railroad commission to compel one railroad to enter in'o an agreement with another in maintain a joint interlocking device at the intersection of their tracks, was questioned by attorneys for the Vandalia Friday, at a hearing before the commission. The question arose in the suit by which, the Lafayette & Logansport Traction company seeks to escape the cost of establishing a separate interlocker, by forcing an agreement with the Vandalia and the Wabash at Clymers in maintaining a joint device. The Wabash representative told the commission that his road was willing to join with the traction comcany, but the Vandalia witness said that his company objects to a joint interlocker, because it would mean f grade crossing, and the company is orposed to grade crossings.

One of the first whisperers to acquire absolute control over fractlou;equlnes was Con Sullivan, who mi grated in his youth from Kilmallicl where he could trace his genealogy through a long line of snafHers. ami became almost exclusively employed by Lord Doneraile. The whisper ol this man made an indelible impression upon any. horse, bringing the pupil t a degree of docility anattalnable in the ordinary course of discipline. The race horse King Pepin, a famous racer, vicious and reputed to have killed two grooms at the Curragh, once came under his charge. He was want ed to win a race at Mallow, but when saddling time came it found him Id one of his unmanageable moods. He reared, plunged and flung out fore and aft until he completely cowed groom and jockey. It was at this crisis that some one recommended that he should be "whispered." As it was the only chance left of taming him In time for the start, his owner gladly availed himself of it. though warned that horses were sometimes thrown Into a state of stupor' by the process. Sullivan was soon found, and he was delighted at the opportunity of "fwbuisperin . before so much 'quality from all parts." "Show us the wild baste," he said, "and we'll soon tache him manners." When he got within the circle and a wide one it was in which King Pe pin was playing his antics he walked up to him. approaching the horse from behind. lie mumbled some words as he walked which, though not quite Inaudible, were as unintelligible as a sermon in the unknown tongue, bul they had a most magical effect on the borse, for he stood stock still. Sullivan then patted him on the neck, while he whispered a word or two in his ear, whereupon King Pepin went on his knees and Incontinently lay down. The whisperer then stretched blmsel! on him at full length, took out a poucb containing pipe and tobacco, flint and steel, struck a light and blew a cloud as he lounged on the stomach of this high settled colt with as niucb com posure as if he were seated on a bencfc in uis lavome taproom.

CALIFORHIfi LEGENDS

Weird and Thrilling Tales of the Olden Days. A MINE THAT WAS HAUNTED. HThe Ghost of Tom Bowers, an Elusive, Luminous Warning and a Race Between Life and Death The Building of Lofty Mount Shasta. A haunted house in the family sends dvlkious suhers down the spinal cord of the ancestral tree, but even more delightfully spooky Is the possession of a haunted mine, and such a boa&t California can make on the authority 6f early legend. Once upon a time in the days of old and the days of gild a miner of the name of Thomas Bovvers lived and delved in the vicinity of Pike City. A shy, sileut man was Thomas, doing his prospecting without a partner and even holding aloof from the jolly company of the other miners after the day's work was done. And in the same shy, silent way that he had lived he died noiseless footsteps across the snow to the br.nk of the slope wher he had been prospecting and at the foot of a landslide his speechless body alone in death. After his retrains were buried decently and in order there were excited whispers about strange noises at the mouth of the old shaft, and soon, quite incidentally, of course, the mine was abandoned. The greed of gold, however, taps Impatiently nt closed doors, and after some little time a thriftless miner hoping for a short cut to wealth undertook to work the old mine again and suddenly surprised his creditors by paying his bills. But things flowed not so smoothly as they seemed. There was many a slip of nerve between nugget and pick. Every morning the miner found that his sluice had been tampered with, that during the night the water had been turned on by unknown hands Yet the most diligent search led to no discovery, and as a last hope of untangling the clammy mystery the miner one evening inaugurated a watch, well armed with a rifle. The 6hadows deepened into darkness, into au absolute blackness. Suddenly while reconnoltering a phosphorescent light attracted his attention, and as he boldly advanced toward it he discovered a placard hung from a tree a sort of spectral transparency, it swms bearing the following words: "Notice! I, Thomas Boweri, claim tola ground for placer mining." When the reader's mind had recovered from its earthquake of astonishment the miner made a snatch at the placard. A pricking thrill went through his fingers, as though they had taken liberties with an electric battery. Tha luminous writing was gone, Lut In his ears roared the flowing water of the sluice and through the roar the sharp, clear cut tap. tap, of a pick. Again the flash of warning light-and before hiro stood Tom Bowrers. The California miner Is no coward. The rifle was lifted, fired. With a yell of rage the ghost, brandishing pick and shovel in excited arm 3. pursued the trespasser. A race between life and death In a new sense was the one that followed all the way to Pike City. There the other miners, celebrating a new find by a dance in a saloon, were suddenly alarmed by terrified screams. Running out, they found neither man nor ghost, but tossed upon the ground a rifle and a pick and n shovel with the initials T. B. cut in the handle. A legend of an entirely different typeIs connected with the same period of California history. During the rush for gold in the fifties a party came we?t by the Gila river route. The heat was intense.

The water of this New river, as it was called, swept north for twenty miles, at one place spreading Into a deep lake two miles wide, but when migration went by the northern route, the pretty tradition naively ends, no longer needed, the New river's spring dried up. i . ' perhaps no more desolate Fpot can be pictured than Death valley, with its terrific heat. Its lack of water, the goda dust of its plains strewn with mummified animals and the bleached bones of lot prospectors. But fair j and fertile once lay the valley, a flour- j jshing pueblo ruled over by a beauti- j i j ful queen. Alas, the beauty was only skin deep, and ambition alone ruled a cold, cruel heart. A pnla e to surpass the houses of the neighboring Aztecs was Icr dream, and she cared not how many lives might be sacrificed In speeding tbe labor.

Such were the awful noises heard by ships in passing that every sailor o board devoutly crossed himself, convinced that it was the headquarters of swimming and flying monsters. Unfortunately for tho sailors' yarns it was latterly discovered that some shipwrecked cats had landed on the inland, their numerous progeny living sumptuously on dead fish and the eggs and the young sea fowl. Long before the first white man entered Kern county that locality wai inhabited by a superior race far advance! in arts and devout worshiper of the, great Spirit. In fact, one of their number so excelled in wisdom that the others fell down and worshiped him. and In jealous anger the Great Spirit cansed the earth to shake and swallow up the entire population, afterward wiping out every vestige of their Idolatry by pouring water hit the valley until It became an inland tea. Later repenting him of the evil and in impatience over bis own vengeance, the Creat Spirit threw up the earth amoklng with heat into the Sierra Nevada mountains, broke away the bills damming up the lake at its foot and drained off the water Into the sea al the Golden Gate. Then he opened the mouth of the earth and released the Jonahs from their long captivity. Little took they the lesson to heart. No sooner had the place blossomed into beauty again than they fell Into Idolatry once more, the worshiped chief going so far as to challenge the Great Spirit to single combat. The au- ; swer was a thrust of the gage In thelt very faces. The race was exterminated forever by a horde of savages from the Mojave desert, while a whirlwind swept away all vegetation. But If we are tracing bark to the origin of things we must dig deeper till we reach the legend of Mount Shas. ta, the very first part of the earth ta be created. The Great Spirit broke a hole in the floor of heaven with a huge rock and went on throwing down more rocks until he could step from the sky upon the top of the pile. Then caressingly he touched the sides of the heup with his bands, and forests sprang Into being. Leaves from the trees be plucked and breath ed upon until they fluttered into the air, fleet winged birds. Beasts and fishes he also formed from his staff.
