The state of Kansas and other officers representing it presented a petition recently to Acting Secretary of the Interior Ryan, praying an interview and reversal of a departmental decision relative to the Fort Hayes military reservation. They want the land vacated and turned over to the state.

A FchemeL Dwp-Lt- U The young girl was Fanny Elssler, the first danseuse of Europe at the time, and her meeting with the duke was in accordance with a well laid plan. That plan contemplated the gaining of the dukes affections. After these had been gained the true character of Fanny Elssler was to be revealed to the duke ln a ballet performance which more than anything eise on earth he abhorred with the hope that the ahdl-- to his outraged honor would hasten the end which the imperial household eagerly awaited. Fanny's reward for this was to be ample. After the first meeting between the duke and Fanny tlie latter returned to the cottage.- This, while unpretentious on the outside, was luxuriously fitted up within and one of its inmates at the time was Baron von the chamberlain of the imhousehold. ToJiim she reperial counted her interview ith the duke and the arrangement for the next meeting. The baron was gratified and renewed the offer of a reward he had previously made to Fanny and which was to consist of an estate and a castle on the Danube. The meetings between Fanny and the duke were frequent after this, the latter falling a hopeless captive to his enslaver. His spirits revived, the pal-- r loi left hlB cheeks and he seemed in 'a fair way toward complete bodily and mental recuperation. One day Fanny alluded to the ballet The duke felt Idlsgugtedmf could not find" "woVds sweeping enough to condemn what to him waa a villainous indecency. Again on the eve of her own scheduled appearance in Vienna she renewed the subject and asked him as a favor to attend the opening and see the renowned Fanny Elssler. I will he there, she added. The duke consented. ignorant, of course, of the identity of Fanny Elssler. The next night the wealth and fashion of Vienna were present at the open-in- g appearance of the famous danseuse The emperor himself was in attendance and to the surprise of all the duke of Relchstadt entered and took a seat in a prominent box. He Swept the audience looking for his inamorata and not seeing her lapsed Into an apathetic state. Finally the curtain rolled up and amid a wild scene of applause Fanny Elssler. in the ravishing beauty of her art, came whirling down the stage. The duke sat corpse-likFinally he fell forward on his face, blood Pouring from hia mouth. He had developed a serious hemorrhage and he was carried back to Schonbrunn castle, where In less than a month he had died. In 1851 Fanny Elssler retired from the stage, with an enormous fortune, to a palatial villa near Hamburg.
