State Ledger

INTER-STATE Journal Kans..and Missouri. Rv E L. JELTZ. A man who doesn't earn his money at hard labor when it is assignad him fire him out. That's the idea. We are here to stay just the same an officer who is too officious is no more than any other man who has made a mistake be be oief or the "Lord's high fiddlesticks." We want to say however we were very kindly treated by the captain of the police force when we informed him of our loss and also Mr "Red" McDonad one of the best detectives in the west. We are proud of our enemies and we want them to understand we intend to punish them. Turn out some of the rascals will be a great satisfaction to a whole lot of people who will take the lead to keep them out Of course when a colored Journal takes issue with some of the hatred of the public he is "cussed" and held to ridicule but we don't care for that so long as we are right if so we intend to go go ahead ere the heavens tail We have never interfered with other peoples business and don't expect to, but peoples personal troubles should have nothing to do with politics if one desires to enter therein, When Nick Chiles goes to Green wood Miss: protected by the sheriff, who afford him protection, he might expect a funeral and he won't near it The Pelice are Prophets We Suppose. We went to Leavenworth this week on legitimate business. We stopped just where we have always stopped for several years. We was relieved of several dollars their denominations being silver. We can honestly prove by Nick Chiles that we lost the money for we met him at late hour and exchanged courtesies. The police knew we told the truth, but on account of the system enacted by the present administration no investigation was pur never will be made. It was not the loss of a few dollars but the principle thereof, and no suspect or guilty party should gunn-injured when a man pays for what he gets and also makes it a rule to pay his way. Our policy is: 'a thief is a dangerous reptile be he white or black, and people here will take our word that we was robbed in Leavenworth. LEAVENWORTH (CITY),POLI UGS. Mr. Wm.

The indiana conference of the African Methodist church has passed a strong set of resolution in reference to the race problem. They condemn yellow journalism for its attempt to encourage race hatred and to magnify the defects of the negro even to the extent of falsehood to incite riote and bloodshed. They declare mob violence, riot and lynchings to be the work of unreasonable fanatics, savages and anarchists and murders. The attit de of Presidedit Roosevelt and Gover Durbin of Indiana in their stand against this evil is high commended. A newly married Ozark county (Mo.) couple, who recieved among other things, a pretty little piece of crockery as a present, use it as a sugar powl two weeks before they found out it was a cus dor. Whether it blows or whether it snows, the season comes and the season goes, the crops get sick and the farmers blues the store keepers kick and the lawvere the preabbers preacn and the simers sim, and cares beset the souls of men. But through it all the printer prints, he saves and saves and stints and stints; the winds may rave and the floods may roll and drouths break through from pole to pole; but the printer man he prints and prints, saves and saves and stints and stints-happy happy printer man: he does the very best he can-sticking type or twisting press, he trusts to luck and does his best. Most persons know that the er-centric evangelist, Sam Jones, was a hard cuss before he was converted, which did not occur until after he was married. He was once lecturing the "boys" with his characteristic freedom and vigor as follows: "Oh; I've bden all all along there; boys, I know all about it, and I used to go to balls and danees, too boys, but when I wanted to get married when I wanted to seattle down with a good wife I quit drinking and gamblg and I didn't go to a ball room to find my wife but I went to a prayer meeting and got one. He told this in Texas and when he returned to his boarding house the land lady who had heard his remarks said: "I don't blame you Brother Jones but poor Sister Jane who did she go to get her husband?

It begins to look as if the Missouri mule may as well be getting ready for a sea voyage. Japan has millions for war, and it would do well to keep them for locomotives and bric-a-brac. Turkey has promised to make full reparation, and hopes we will be good enough to let it go at that. It may be that the Turkish soldier smokes a better brand of coffin nail than the British soldier does. King Edward swore the other day and now New York is threatened with a shocking wave of profanity. And yet many more persons have been hurt in railway accidents this year than in flying machine accidents. Learned ethnologists have discovered that all tribes within the arctic circle are of one race—the blubber race. There are heavy fogs in Paris this winter, owing no doubt to the sudden good will between that city and London. All Fools' day appears to have played a part with the bungler who sought by forgery to fasten guilt on Capt. Dreyfus. When Tom Lawson writes verse instead of prose in dealing with Amalgamated and Heinzo, is the worst ever or isn't it? New York could satisfy a good deal of natural curiosity by revealing where it goes to get the exhibits for its beauty shows. A man named Solomons is in trouble at Hamilton, Ont., over a little matter of two wives. How the Solomons have degenerated! From the comments it is inferred that New York considers "Parsifal" superior to Pete Daleley, but not quite so good as Willie Collier. Sir Thomas Lipton is accused of failing to live up to his financial obligations. Still, that's a common failing for jolly good fellows. The French soldier who intends to subjugate wild African tribes by photograph doubtless means to fit all the cylinders with "Hiawatha." The duke of Roxburghe renews his declaration that he will never come to America again. Nevertheless, we wish you a happy New Year. This year has added 5,723 miles to the mileage of railroads in this country. Let us see that this does not increase the number of collisions next year. It is rumored that Mr. Morgan offered $250,000 for the original manuscript of "Paradise Lost." Wonder what he'd offer for "Paradise Regained?" What a vast sum that Missouri man with the "scrupulous conscience" must have secured by foul means when he has returned by stealth more than $2,000. An Indiana man has written a financial history of the world. But who cares anything about financial matters now? What we want is a treatise on the liver. Those hand-painted stockings that—we learn from the fashion magazines—the girls are wearing now should have been just the thing to hang up Christmas eve. 10 mills make a combine, 10 combines make a trust, 10 trusts make a merger, 10 Mergers make a maginate— And he makes all the money! Andrew Carnege has been left a bequest of $500 by the will of a Philadelphia woman, which of course means simply so much more trouble for him in his task to keep from dying rich. With riots and murders and hold ups making life exciting in Chicago the Chicago police have received strict orders that hereafter—the must keep their trousers nicely creased. Fancy what a dull place the island of Hayti would be if they didn't have those revolutions. You can't expect people to be satisfied with no other excitement than chicken fights and the breakbone fever. Long Gee, a Chinese laundryman near New York, has applied to the courts for a divorce from his wife, a Chinese woman, and all their friends and acquaintances feel intensely and thoroughly scandalized at his American conduct. Bill Nye's grave in North Carolina is said to be unmarked by a stone of any kind and to have suffered such neglect that it may hardly be found among weeds and rubbish. What a funny story Bill could write on the subject if he were here now! Without any positive knowledge on the subject we are willing to hypothecate a gallon of printer's ink on the proposition that there is a pitchblende mine, with its alluring possilities of radium, somewhere in Pennsylvania, and that Mr. Rockefeller will have the exclusive ownership of it some day. Wos y Gil is reported to be in hiding. It isn't likely, however, that a man with as much money as he is reported to have carried away with him can keep out of sight very long. HE READ WRONG ENGINEER BENJAMIN SAYS HE MISUNDERSTOOD ORDERS. IT LOOKS BAD FOR THE TRAIN CREW Thought Extra Was to Watch Him After 12:55—Williard Operator, Too, He Thinks, Should Have Displayed Stop Signal—Train Going 35 to 40 Miles an Hour. KANSAS CITY, MO.—(Special.) C. R. Silverthorne, coroner of Wabause county, Kan.; J. R. Dolley, foreman of the coroner's jury appointed to investigate the Rock Island wreck early on the morning of January 6 near Wilhard, Kan., when seventeen people were killed and several injured, and C. E. Carroll, assistant county attorney, Tuesday afternoon heard the testimony of Engineer Sidney Benjamin at his home, 1240 Central avenue, Kansas City, Kan. Benjamin was in charge of the passenger train on No. 3, which collided with freight train No. 1417. He was seriously injured, but it is thought he will be able to leave his room in a few weeks. All the other testimony had previously been taken by the coroner and had been produced before the jury. The jury will meet again Thursday morning in Maple Hill, Wabausee county, near the scene of the wreck. It is thought the jury will render its verdict on that date. From the testimony it seems very probable that Conductor Nagle and Engineer Benjamin and possibly G. W. Sigel, special night operator at Willard, will be held responsible for the wreck and all the other trainmen will be exonerated. Nagle was in charge of the passenger train and Sigel was on duty at the Willard station directing a cattle train. It is pointed out by the engineer that had he known a night operator was on duty he would have expected him to turn the red board as a stop signal. On the other hand, Sigel says he was there only as a special operator to direct the cattle train, and did not understand the orders which passed over the wire and were afterward disobeyed. At the examination of Benjamin Tuesday he said he had lost his orders in the wreck, and when shown those of Conductor Nagle, which should have been like his, he said if they were the same as his he had not understood his orders correctly. He was under the impression, he said, that he was to wait until 12:55 a. m. at Valencia and after that the freight train was to look out for him. He did not think he was required to wait at Willard for extra 1417 so went on without stopping at the latter place and met the extra a few miles down the track, when, according to his own testimony, his train was going at the rate of about thirty-five or forty miles an hour. W. J. Ebey, chief dispatcher in the Topeka office, who gave the orders to Conductor Nagle, says Benjamin and Nagle are solely responsible for the wreck because they ran by Willard, disobeying order No. 2, wherein they were directed to meet No. 1417, a freight going west, at Willard, but instead of waiting as directed by the order, went through Willard before extra 1417 arrived, causing the collision. Conductor Nagle, who signed the orders, said he stepped out on the rear platform as the train entered Willard, and seeing the freight train on the sliding, which propped on the ground, it was extra 1417. He said he supposed the engineer knew his business or he would not have passed without stopping, so instead of calling him to stop, by pulling the air cord, he stepped back into the car, thinking all was well. He testified that the train was going at the rate of fifty miles an hour when it passed through Willard. Old Monitors to Be Sold. Old monitors to be sold. WASHINGTON.-(Special). An order has been issued by the secretary of the navy that the old single turret monitors, Nahant, Jason, Canonicus, Lehigh and Montauk, shall be stricken from the navy list and sold at public auction to the highest bidder. These fronclads were authorized during the civil war, and have long since outlived their usefulness. For many years past they have been anchored at League island'. Each of these vessels cost, originally, about $500,000, but none of them is of any value at present, except as old junk. Great Cripple Creek Strike. COLORADO SPRINGS, COL.—(Special.) The most sensational gold strike in the Cripple Creek district in years was confirmed Tuesday in property on ironclad hill. From a space no larger than a man's body ore to the value of $25,000 was shipped, some of which assays was $23,000 a ton. To Prevent Theater Panics NEW YORK.—(Special.) A simple method for emptying theaters quickly and preventing panics in case of fire is suggested by a theatrical manager here. It is proposed to survey the house and to print on the coupons retained by seat holders notices reading: "In case of danger, your nearest exit is No. — on your right (or left). Please leave the house by this exit at the end of the performance." Ferguson—What would you suggest as a remedy for baldness? Ziegler— NEW YORK.—(Special.) Ex-Congressman Edmund H. Driggs of Brooklyn has been sentenced to imprisonment for one day in Raymond street jail and to a fine of $10,000. Driggs was convicted of accepting money while a Congressman-elect, for securing a government contract for the purchase of automatic cashiers from the Brendt-Dent company for the post office department. There will be no appeal. The upright go right up. LIVE STOCK MEN IN PORTLAND. The National Congress Began Tuesday in Oregon City. PORTLAND, ORE.—(Special.) The members of the National Live Stock and the National Woolgrowers associations met in joint session here Tuesday, with nearly a thousand members of the joint organization in attendance. Governor George E. Chamberlain, Mayor George H. Williams and others spoke and extended a welcome. Colonel L. F. Wilson of Texas who responding to the speeches of welcome on behalf of the National Live Stock association, said that the delegates had come to face a serious situation to deal with questions of vital interest to all stockmen. He stated that one matter of prime importance was that of the independent packing company, in which the stockmen are interested. Senator F. E. Warren responded in behalf of the woolgrowers. A HERO IN AN ELEVATOR. Abraham Geber Made Trips to Save Women in a Fire. NEW YORK—(Special) In a fire here Tuesday, in a Broadway office building, Abraham Geber ran his elevator three times from the street to the eighth floor and rescued eight women. As the elevator reached the ground floor the third time Geber staggered into Broadway and fainted. He had been nearly stifled by the smoke and was with difficulty revived. The actual money loss was small, as the fire was confined to the basement, but the smoke escaped by the elevator shaft and was stifling. Volumes of records belonging to the Southern Pacific Railroad company, on the street floor were destroyed. CHICAGO—(Special.) After a five days' session here the seventh annual convention of the International Brotherhood of Steam Shovel and Dredge Engineers and Cranemen of America closed Tuesday. The following scale of wages was adopted for the United States and Canada: Minimum for engineers, $125 per month; cranemen, $90 per month; scale of wages for Cuba and Mexico, $160 per month and board for engineers and $125 per month and board for cranemen. Scale of wages for Panama canal work, $300 per month and board for engineers and $250 per month and board for cranemen. For Murder 14 Years Ago. 14 Years Ago. BAKERSFIELD—(Special.) Harry H. Fletcher, for fourteen years a resident of Bekersfield, and an employee of the Kern County Land Company, has been arrested on a telegraphic warrent from Sheriff Dillard at Texarkana, Ark., for the alleged murder of his cousin, Fred Coffee, in Hempstead county, Ark., fourteen years ago. It is stated that Fletcher, while under sentence to death, broke jail and eluded pursuit until now. The officers learned of the whereabouts of Fletcher, or James R. Coffee, which is alleged to be his true name, through his brother-in-law, a resident of this city. Preacher and Son Killed PREScriber and Son Killed. ARDMORE, I. T.—(Special.) A preacher named Moss and his son were shot and killed near Elmore, I. T. Tuesday by Allord Turner, a stockman. It is said the shooting was the result of a misunderstanding over a leased stock field. Turner makes a plea of self-defense, claiming that young Moss attempted to kill him when he was. The young man and killed the elder Moss by accident. Turner says he then shot the young man.

Turkish War Expenses Something like three-fourths of the annual expenditure of the Turkish government has of recent years been for arms and munitions of war. Japanese soldiers fight noiselessly. They have no bands, no drums beat revelle or tattoo, and in action they utter no cheers. Irrigation Adds Value. By means of irrigation something like $5,000,000 acres of land in Dakota have been increased in value over $230,000,000. A Physician's Statement Yorktown, Ark, Jan. 11.—Leland Williamsm, M. D., one of our clearest physicians, has made a statement, endorsing Dodd's Kidney Pills and saying that he uses them in his daily practice in preference to any other Kidney medicine. His statement has created a profound sensation, as it is somewhat unusual for a physician to publicly endorse anything in the shape of a patent medicine. Dr. Williamsm says: "After twenty years' practice in a sickly and malarious country I have come to the conclusion that it is always best to use the remedy that will relieve and cure my patients, whether ethical or not. "I have used Dodd's Kidney Pills with uniform success in the various forms of Kidney Disease, Pain in the Back, Gout, Rheumatism, Inflammation and Congestion of the Kidneys and all kindred diseases; I always prescribe Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases and can testify that they invariably restore the Kidneys to their normal state and thereby relieve the blood of accumulated poisons, producing prompt and effective cures." It seems to us that sick people here lately "give up" easier than they formally did. When a particularly elaborate dancing party is given in Troy "Wakefield's Jungle and India Rubber Troubadours" are called upon to furnish the music. A town in Summer county is named Dalton, which seems to warrant John Collins, Jessie Morrison and Willie Sells in looking forward to fame of the same sort. Of the 856 students enrolled at the University of Kansas this term 280 come direct from the farm and 162 are the sons or daughters of merchants in country towns. In view of the inclement weather which has prevailed for several weeks a merchant in la Crosse is advertising his entire stock of straw hats for sale at greatly reduced prices. The Kansas Federation of Commercial Interests will hold a meeting in a few days. While it is a gathering of consequence, it cannot hope to be half as imposing as that name. It is believed that the prospect of fifty letters a day, each one requiring a "jolly" in reply, is what influenced E. W. Howe of Atchison to refuse to be a candidate for congressman. Since the new deputy game warden was sworn in at Oxford the local paper announces that the fish in the Arkansas and Ninnescah rivers find it necessary to sleep three in a bed. Kansas will spend $5,337,647 on its public schools during 1904. This does not include the denominational and private schools, academies, colleges or the state charitable institutions. A girl who, was learning to "stick type" in the office of the Toronto Republican found on her case a notice to "kill W. H. Kaltenbach." Mr. Kaltenback is a real estate agent. In horror she rushed to the editor and said she couldn't possibly do it. Some minutes of animated converse were needed to make the editor understand what she was talking about and then he explained that the notice meant to discontinue Mr. Kaltenbach's advertisement. After being assured that no bloodshed was intended she returned to work. J. E. Marcell, cashier of the looted Bank of Highland, is reported to be "taking things easy" in the Doniphan county jail. That's the way he took 'em in the bank. The La Cygne Journal administers a stern rebuke to a woman who visited there last week and insisted on flaunting $5,000 worth of actual diamonds before the gaze of the plain people. The public knew that the Crawford theater in Topeka, which has been condemned by the authorities, used to be unsafe twelve or fifteen years ago, but it was thought it had outgrown it. There will be fewer delegates by 123 in the Wichita convention March 9 than sat in the Republican convention of 1902; notwithstanding that both factions will need all the delegates they can get. The Troy Chief makes an effectual bid for distinction at this trying time. It has never referred to the closing of the Chicago theaters as "locking the stable door after the horse is stolen." The Manhattan Republic began issuing a daily edition last week, whereupon the Nationalist changed to a tri-weekly. It is believed that a tri-weekly can take care of all the news that happens in Manhattan. Mrs. David J. Brewer was dismayed to find that the old Kansas frienda of her distinguished husband called him "Dave' on his recent visit West. But they have known him longer than Mrs. Brewer has. A Topeka paper copyrighted its account of the wreck "between a freight train and a heavily loaded passenger." The old-fashioned girl who asks all of her callers to write in her autograph album has been located in Ottawa. A Franklin county woman has a geography that was printed in 1798, which was before P. P. Elder settled in Ottawa. It occurred to an absent-minded man in Kingman who was hurrying to catch a train that he had left his watch at home. At the depot he learned that the train was late, so he pulled the watch from his pocket and consulted it to see if he would have time to go back home and get it. He concluded that he would, and got half way home before the absurdity of the situation dawned upon him. "Now is one time," says the Emporia Gazette, "to acquire the polished-floor walk. Pour water all over the back porch, let it freeze and then put a square of rag carpet over the ice and try to walk from the ice porch onto the carpet and off again. After you can do it unconcernedly a dozen times without letting your feet get out from under you, you are safe in calling at a home where there are polished floors." P. C. Simmons who was appointed attorney-general of Oklahoma last week by Governor Ferguson, is another Kansas young man who has scored. He is the son of State Senator R. T. Simmons of Caldwell. In the following language the Smith Center Pioneer welcomes the new Populist editor to town: "Resplendent in a new suit, shining derby hat, a round form including a good meal, a big roll of 200-cent dollars safely in the bank, Joseph Wright, our new Pop editor from Lebanon, appeared on our streets Tuesday. A genuine Daughter of the Revolution died in Eureka this week at the age of 88. She was "Grandma" Little, and her father was an officer on the staff of General Washington. An Abilene man who was at the Iroquois theater in Chicago soon after the fire was extinguished writes home that the loss of life "was probably much greater than reported." The muscle worm is killing so many hogs in Summer county that it is entitled to rank with the heel fly, the boll weevil, the rabbit worm and the cinder beetle as an agency of destruction.

PINHAM: — I suffered with stomach complaint for years. I got so bad that I could not carry my children but five months, then would have a miscarriage. The last time I became pregnant, my husband got me a table Compound. After taking the first bottle I was relieved of the sickness of stomach, and began to feel better in every way.

Food That Carries One Along. It's nice to know of food that not only tastes delicious but that puts the snap and go into one and supplies staying power for the day. A woman says: "I have taken enough medicine in my time to furnish a drug store, but in later and wiser years I have taken none but have depended, for the health I now enjoy, on suitable and sustaining food of which I keep on hand a tested variety, plain but nourishing. "Of these my main dependence is Grape-Nuts, especially if I have before me a day of unusual effort either mental or physical. In this case I fortify myself the first thing in the morning with about 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts moistened with cream and not much else for breakfast and the amount of work I can then carry through successfully without fatigue or exhaustion is a wonder to those about me and even to myself. "Grape-Nuts food is certainly a wonderful strengthener and is not a stimulant, for there is no reaction afterwards, but it is sustaining and strengthening, as I have proved by long experience." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason four teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream will add more strength and carry one further than a plateful of coarse heavy food that is nearly all waste. Grape-Nuts food is condensed, pre-digested and delicious. It contains the parts of the Wheat and Barley grains that supply the rebuilding parts for Brain and Nerve Centers.

Cultivating Corn. Corn has been bred to show that by intelligent cultivation the parts of the kernel that yield the oil can be minimized, while those that produce protein can be developed. The demolition of a steel building three years old in New York City was watched by the experts of the bureau of buildings with reference to deterioration. They report "that no other corrosion of consequence could be discovered than had obviously begun and gained measurable headway before the building was covered in. Facts About Coal. The United States exports $20,000, worth of coal a year. France produces about $4,000,000 tons of coal a year and has to buy 15,000,000 more Value of the Sunflower. The stalks and leaves of the sunflower make excellent food for various animals, while the former can also be employed as fuel. Sunflower cake is made from the seeds of this useful plant after the oil has been extracted. The Hour of Death According to a Paris physician, who has noted the hour of death of 2,880 persons, his observation covering a period of several years, the maximum hour of death is from 5 to 6 a. m. and the minimum from 9 to 11 a. m. Distasteful Job. Peculiar was the posthumous fame sought by an eccentric bachelor in New York, Mr. H. P. Halliday, who left $5,000, the yearly interest of which was to be "divided equally among all such maiden ladies of an admitted minimum age of forty as care to spend half an hour by my grave on the anniversary of my death dressed in deep mourning, and deploring the vanities and follies of their sex." Centenarians in Africa. Perhaps it is the nomadic, outdoor life they lead; perhaps it is merely due to heredity, but the fact remains that the Arabs of northern Africa are among the most long-lived people in the world, says a returned American traveler. Centenarians are common, and a man or woman has to be 130 to enjoy any sort of local reputation.

Going into a tavern, two thirsty souls were greatly disconcerted to see in every room the sign "No liquor to be sold or drunk on these premises," begins a story told by Hamilton Wright Mabile.

Mr. Brooks says, "After a man has lived in the world as long as I have, he ought to have found a place in his life with things by experience. I think he done so. "One of the things I have found out to my entire satisfaction is the proper thing for alliments that are due directly to the effects of the climate. For 115 years I have withstood the changeable climate of the United States. "I have always been a very healthy man, but of course subject to the little affections which are due to the temperature and temperature. During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs, colds and diarrhea. "As for Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, I have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable remedy for these affections. It has been my standby for many years, and I attribute my good health and extreme old age to this remedy. "It exactly meets all my requirements. It provides the evil effects of changes; it keeps me in good appetite; it gives me strength; it keeps my blood in good circulation. I have come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which I need "When epidemics of la gripe first began to make their appearance in this country I was a sufferer from this disease. "I had several long sieges with the grip. At first I did not know that Peruna was a remedy for this disease. When I heard that la gripe was epidemic catarrh, I tried Peruna for la gripe and found it to be just the thing." In a later letter dated January 31, 1909 Mr. Brock writes: "I am well and feeling as well as I have for years. The only thing that bothered me most was that I could walk all over the farm and it would do me good. I would not be without Peruna." Yours truly, Brook.

CAUSED BY ELEVATOR GATE GIVING WAY Victims Were Crowding to Be First Into Elevator—Of Ten Who Fell, Six Died Instantly, Two Others in a Few Hours, and the Remaining Two, It Is Said, Cannot Recover. ST. LOUIS—(Special.) A crowd of employees pressing against the elevator gates Wednesday night on the sixth floor of the Brown Shoe Company, at Eleventh street and Washington avenue, caused the gate to give way and ten persons, were plunged down the shaft. Six were taken out lead, and the other four, seriously injured, were hurried to the city hospital, where two died in a few hours without regaining consciousness. The employees had assembled at the close of work in the corridors on the different floors, waiting for the elevator was at the seventh floor receiver was at the seventh floor receiving passengers when those on the sixth floor, eager to get near the door and be first into the cage, began to push toward the gate. Suddenly the gate gave way just as the elevator started to descend, and ten of the employees plunged headfirst down the shaft. Six were instantly killed and their bodies formed cushions which prevented the instant death of the other four. James Johnson, the elevator operator, was taken into custody by the police, pending an investigation. Johnson said the elevator gate did not break, but that it had been raised by employees while waiting for the car to descend to the floor, and suddenly employees in the rear of the crowd began pushing, precipitating them down the shaft. Factory Superintendent Fry corroborated Johnson's story. Those Who Went With Him to Wash them in the Garden Get Back MUSKOGEE, I. T. — (Special). Crazy Snake, head of the faction in the Creek Nation which is "agin" the government, has returned from Washington. He came back alone and since his return has been ill. The other members of the party are still in Washington, and the purpose of Crazy Snake in returning was to secure enough money to buy the other members of the party return trip tickets, Crazy Snake and other members of the faction went to Washington several weeks ago to confer with officials there regarding the loyal Creek claim. It was the contention of Crazy Snake and others of this faction that the government exceeded its power when this claim was reduced by nearly two-thirds, and he induced his followers to believe that a tails with the "Great Father at Washington" would soon convince him of this fact. Upon their arrival there, however, they met with a cold reception and as they had neglected to buy return trip tickets they are compelled to remain in Washington until money can be sent for their return tickets.

He has been switching here for several weeks, and the police were ordered to arrest him for carrying concealed weapons. Barnett met him with a comrade about 2 o'clock on a side street, and ordered him to give up his gun. Kelley's answer was a blow from a six-shooter, and as Barnett closed with him both began firing. Kelley's shots burned holes in Barnett's coat, and both of Barnett's shots took effect. As Kelley fell he dragged Barnett with him and bit the latter's ear nearly off. At the first shot the other man ran and is still at large. Their Contract Held Good. UTICA, N. Y.—(Special). In December, 1878, George W. Todd, a peddler who pushed his wires about the country in a wheelbarrow, reached the house of George Crawford, in this county, badly frozen. Crawford and his sister, then children, took care of the man and when he left, three weeks later, he had them write a contract in a book agreeing to pay each $5,000 on his death. He made crosses each side of his signature. Todd died last year in Canada, leaving $56,000. Recently Jennie Crawford Yarwood secured a verdict of $5,000 against the estate in settlement of her claim, and later her brother secured a verdict in like amount. Nearly 100 distant relatives of Todd in the West united in opposing the claim. Uses Umbrella as Dagger. EVANSVILLE, IND. — (Special.) Charles Koehler, aged 21, was killed in front of the opera house at Booneville, Ind., late last night, when an umbrella was run through the base of his skull. Louis Roth, aged 18, came to Booneville and gave himself up, saying he assaulted Koehler and killed him because he had called him a "country jake" in the opera house. The slayer was placed under $5,000 bonds. Poultry Show at Blackwell. BLACKWELL, O. T. —(Special.)

The kiss of a 3-year-old child may cause the death of three persons now at the Pasteur institute under treatment for rabies. One is said to have but a slender lease on life. The child is dead of the malady. Although the grief-streaked parents hurried the little one across the prairie of Iowa, as soon as they learned the nature of the illness, they were too late. The victims are: Harold Latta, 3 years old; bitten by mad dog at Madrid, Ia., October 28; died Wednesday. W. V. Latta, the boy's father, who kissed the child while ill and was bitten on the hands. Matilda Latta, the mother, whose lips were infected from kissing the boy. Forest Birdsdal, 12 years old, Madrid, Ia., who kissed the child and was also bliten by the dog; will probably die. FOUGHT OVER A GIRL. One Young Man May Die From His Wounds. VINITA, I. T.—(Special.) James Perrin, William Bailey and John Woodall engaged in a fight in Grove, I. T., Wednesday night, in which Woodall's throat was cut almost from ear to ear. He is probably mortally wounded. A misunderstanding among the young men over a girl caused the trouble. Woodall started to escort the young lady home from a dance, when Perrin and Bailey resisted and a fight ensued. It is charged that Bailey and Perrin attacked Woodall, and one of them slipped up behind him and cut his throat. Deputy Marshal J. E. Dibble arrest ed Perrin and Bailey and brought them here before Commissioner Stanfield, who committed them to jail. MR. BARTHOLDT IS CHAIRMAN Missourian at Head of the "American Group" of Arbitratorsists. WASHINGTON. — (Special.) An "American group" to be affiliated with the Inter-Parliamentary Union for International Arbitration has been organized. About forty members of the senate and house of representatives became members. Representative Bartholdt, of Missouri, was made chairman, and Representative Rodenberg, of Illinois, temporary secretary. A committee to draft a suitable platform was authorized and Mr. Bartholdt was instructed to introduce a resolution in the house inviting the international union to hold its twelfth annual session in St. Louis next September. Several speaches were made indorsing the movement. Has Supplies for Both. SAN FRANCISCO—(Special.) The steamer Coptic, which sails for the Orient on Friday, will carry a quantity of munitions of war, consigned to both the Japanese and Russian armies. Stowed in the hold of the vessel is about 400 tons of mess beef that is part of an order of about 2,000 tons that was given to a local firm about two weeks ago, and all of which is to be at this port ready for shipment by the end of the present month. Besides the beef are several hundred tons of pig lead and about 2,000 tons of flour *hat* is to go to the supply depots of the Japanese army. The beef, according to the plan of shipment as now arranged, is to be transferred to a Russian steamer at Nagasaki that will carry it to Vladivostock. Katy Plans Extensions Katy Plans Extensions. OKLAHOMA CITY, O. T.—(Special.) A new railroad from Denver to Galveston, via Oklahoma City, is the project that is being seriously considered by "Katy" officials. At present there is no probability that the road will be built until all other contemplated lines of the "Katy" are finished. In the meantime the "Katy" officials will consider a proposition for a line to the Northwest. In speaking of the project a "Katy" official said Wednesday: "The field is an excellent one, and would open a vast trade territory that would prove beneficial to Oklahoma City." Dakota Divorce Invalid. Dakota Divorce Invalid. NEW YORK—(Special). Supreme Court Justice Dickey rendered an important decision recently in declaring invalid in New York a divorce obtained in South Dakota in 1902 by Mrs. Ellen Theresa Elder, from George W. Elder, of Bay Shore, L. I. on the ground of cruelty. The court declared that, if a decree of divorce obtained in South Dakota can be shown to have been the result of collusion between husband and wife, as in the present instance, such a decree has no effect here and the parties remain husband and wife. We are told that the way of the transgressor is hard, but it often seems dead easy. River Men Alarmed. PITTSBURG. PA.—(Special) River men, and, in fact, all those who have interests along the banks of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers, are becoming anxious since the present entha and rain set in. Some of the river men predict that another day on so of such weather will start the ice gorges moving and bring the rivers up rapidly. On the other hand, the local weather forecaster is not in the least apprehensive and predicts a drop in the temperature which will stay a flood. WASHINGTON—(Special). It is reported that George I. Harvey, superintendent of the Pawnee Indian school, has forwarded a letter to the interior depreparation, making charges against Delegate McGuire, of Oklahoma, in connection with the perfecting of land titles to Pawnee lands. The alleged charges have not reached the commissioner of Indian affairs, and no information regarding the matter could be obtained at the office of the secretary.
