ONE SIDEJS DOHE. The State "Rests" in the Neveis Murder Case. Sheriff Burdge Gives the Prin cipal Testimony. RESTS ON ONE THING. The Slungshot Still the All Important Link In the Evidence to Prove Neveis Guilty. NEYELS' HOPE AN ALIBI Which His Attorneys Expect to Prove. They Seek to Throw Discredit on "Doc" Ward's Testimony. The Novels trial is half over, or ia sup posed to be. The prosecution examined its last witness this forenoon, and the state rested. A recess of half an hour was taken to give Nereis' attorneys a chance for consultation, and then the de- fense began on its list of witnesses. Although the state has rested, it iat said that it has not offered all of its evidence.- It is stated that they are saving some of their strongest evidence to use in rebuttal to disprove Novels' state ments. Chief Wilkerson's Testimony. Chief John M. Wilkerson was the prin cipal witness at the Neveis trial yester day afternoon. The chief is an excel lent witness and what he said was of in tense interest At times when he was telling what he knew about the case the court room was as quiet as a church, notwithstanding that hundreds of eager listeners crowded every seat and every inch of standing room in the halL The need of a new court room wa8 strongly suggested by the trial yester day. The ventilation was poor and the dav was hot. Notwithstanding this, men and women were content to stand for hours and peek over somebody's shoulder in order to see the witness and the prisoners, and catch every word. Chief Wilkeraon testified on the more important points as follows: Q When did you first hear of the murder of Mrs. Matson? A I was out of the eity the day the body was found, and I did not hear of it until about eleven o'clock the next day. Q When did you first go to the Mat son house? A That afternoon. Q Was that the first place you went in connection with the murder? A No, I went to the undertaker's first to see the body. "Doc" Wnrd showed me the slung shot he had found and I com pared it to the wounds on Mrs. Matson's head. Q Which wounds? A The place on her nose where she had been struck with some such instru ment and also the scars upon her fore head. Q How did the slung-shot and the wounds compare? A They tallied exactly. Q When you went to Mrs. Matson's house, did you go inside? A No, I was refused admission. Q Then what did you do? A I borrowed the slung-shot of Ward and struck out to see if I could find the murderer. Q Who went with you? A A colored man named Wesley Hale. I wasn't very well acquainted in that neighborhood and I took him to di rect me. Q Who did you meet? A We met sevsral people, but we went some distance before we saw any one I cared to talk to. Q Who was it? A Sam Milton. Q What did you say to him? A I asked him if he had ever seen that slung shot before? Q What did he say? A He said yes, that it belonged to a man named Frank Novels. Q Then where d;d you go? A We went, to Sam Milton's house. Q Who did you talk to there? A Mrs. Milton. She declared that the weapon belonged to Neveis, also. Q Where did you go to from there? A Back to the Matson house. Q W hat for? A To tell the Sheriff and what I had found out. Q Did you go to Neveis' day? A Yes, at about dusk. Q Who went with you? the others house that A Sheriff Burdge, Dan Jones, Doc Ward, I don't remember who alL There was a Journal reporter along. Q -Who did you find at the house? A Neveis and his wife. Q Did you show Neveis the slung shot? A Yes. He eaid he had never seen 5t before. Q What else did Neveis say? A He said he left Topeka December 12, and went to Gainesville, Texas, and just returned mat morning. Q What route did he say he took? A He said he took the Bock Island because he used to be a cook for Oamer Brothers, and all the brakemen would let him ride free. I told him he couldn't get to Gainesville, and then he said he had taken the Santa Fe. Q Did you search the house? A Yes. We were looking especially for an apron that ilrn. Milton said would compare with the rags on the slung shot. Q Did you find the aprons? A No, Mm, Neveis said she had sent them with some other roods to Tonv Smith at Coffeyville. Uid you find anything else in the house? A Yes. some letters from Neveis to his wife, dated at Houston, Tex., Decem ber 15. These letters were introduced as evi dence without being read, Mr. Ens minger protested against allowing the letters in evidence on the ground that correspondence between husband and wife was inviolable. This Doint was overruled by Judge Hazen. Was Neveis arrested that night? A He was. Q After he was arrested did vou. eo to see him at the county jail? A les, a great many times. Q What was vour obiect in seems- him? A Wanted to see if I couldn't eet him to give me some further clues to the case. Q What was the result? A He finally talked to me. He made what he said was a confession. Q What did he say? A He bee-an bv savins that he had nothing to do with the actual murder. His part was to get some valuable papers including Mrs. Matson's will, and turn them over to Mr. Matson. He said he had done "his part of the work." He saia lurtner that Matson had two agents who had called to engage his services in the work. One was called "Ross" and the other "Poker Dick." They arranged that Neveis was to gel the papers and some others were to do the killing. Nev eis said he was to change the will to contorm with another will, a copy or which was sent from California. After getting the papers and putting them in a tin box that belonged to Mrs. Matson, Neveis said he got nervous about the affair and turned them over to Josie Neveis, his former wife, who lived at Argentine. "I asked him if he saw the killing, and he -replied that he saw it through the window opening onto the porch. He says that Sam Milton and his wife brought Mrs. Matson to the house in a DUf?gy- She was unconsciou, and her head was wrapped tight in the shawL When they were carrying her from the buggy to the house Mrs. Matson began to revive and Mrs. Milton hit her on the face with the slung-shot, which quieted her. Then they dragged her into the south room and Sam Milton hit her twice on the head with the axe and piled the things on top of her." Q Who did Neveis say assisted him in his part of the job? A He said that his former wife did, Josie Neveis or Josie Fisher. He also said that Hayden and B. Adams were in the robbery. Q Did he describe Josie Neveis or Fisner to you? A Yes, he said she was a light mulat to. Q Did you go to Argentine after her? A Yes, Sheriff Burdge and I went to gether, but failed to find her. Q Did you ever see Josie Neveis, or Fisher, after that? A Yes, I saw her at the county jail. Sheriff Burdge found her near Junction City. When we made Neveis face her he admitted that she had nothing to do with the case, and that he had lied to us. Cross-Examination. Here the state turned the witness over to the defense, and he was cross-examined by Mr. Ensminger. Q What offiotal position did you hold in December last? A None. Q You were just plain John Wilker son? A I was. Q How much of what Neveis told you was true? A Not much of it. CJ When Neveis was in the county jail and you were trying to get him to talk, was he ever put in the "sweat box" at your order. A I had no authority to put any one in the sweat box. Q As a matter of fact wouldn't any thing you said at the county jail go? Your word was law, wasn't it, John, with the sheriff and every one else? A I am on friendly terms with every one there. Q Was Neveis put in the sweat box? A He was separated from the rest of the prisoners for awhile. Q Was the cell he was put in used as a sweat box? A No, we merely used it to confine unruly prisoners in. Q Did you ever make any threats to Neveis? A I did not Q Did you ever offer him any induce ments to confess? A No. Q Didn't you tell Neveis that you and Burdge had plenty of money and didn't want the reward that he could have that all you wanted was the honor of a conviction? A I never said anything of the sort. Q D.da't you tell Neveis a mob was going to take him out and hang him, and the sheriff wouldn't do anything to stop them if he didn't talk? A I don't remember saying that I may have intimated that there was talk of lynching him. Q Was there any. such talk? A A little. Q Did you ever try to prejudice Mrs. Neveis against her husband, and jet her to tell what she knew? A No, sir. -Didn't you tell her it would be a good scheme to send Frank Neveis to the pen so she could get a white hus band? A- I never said that I may have asked her why she married a colored man. Q You were a candidate for chief at this time, were you not? A Not, sir; I was not I never asked for the appointment My friends sug gested my name. I could manage to get along very comfortably without the of fice. Q I know you could. Well, you fur nisned the newspaper men with state ments of the case, didn't you? A Now and then. Q For which John M. got due credit, eh? A Not much credit. Q Didn't you finally get mad at Neveis and tell him he was the biggest liar in the country? ICeaUaued on Sixth Page.j A WAROHFILTH.

Gnessers and Politicians All at As to the Probable Secretary of State TO FOLLOW GRESHAM. Governor Francis of Missouri is Mentioned. Washington, June 6. The president is proceeding' with deliberation in the "selection of a successor to the late Sec retary Greshara. It may be that he is in correspondence with some one touching- his appointment to the cabinet, and that, following1 his usual practice, he refrains from allowing- his inten tions to become known until he is as sured that any offer he may make will surely be accepted. It is assumed that the new secretary of state will not be announced until the cabinet is again complete. So far as can be learned now the president has not formally advised Attorney-General Olney of his wish that he should accept a transfer to the state department, but it is believed that in following' this course the president is simply waiting1 to make sure that he can fill to his satisfaction the place that will be vacated by Mr. Olney. Among- the rumors is one to the ef fect that after transferring- Mr. Olney to the state department the president will place Secretary Hoke Smith in the attorney-general's office and fill the office of secretary of the interior by the appointment of ex-Gov. Francis, of Missouri. It is known that the presi dent has the kindest feeling's toward Mr. Francis and his appoint ment would be in line with the policy the president has leaned toward lately of recognizing- the younger and more progressive ele ment in his party. Secretary Smith, being1 a lawyer by profession, is also supposed to have a decided preference for the attorney-generalship. It is now expected that the president will leave Washing-ton for Gray Gables early next week, and therefore the an nouncement of the cabinet changes is looked for very shortly. THE WAR EXPENSES OF CUBA. Washington, June 6. A semi-official statement has been received here from the leaders of the most inflential ele ments in Cuba showing- that the war expenditures are becoming so enormous and the sugar and tobacco in dustries so unprofitable that they believe a general uprising will result from the hard times caused. The por tion of the statement concerning the desperate conditions prevailing is as follows: "The war expenses of 1868 to 1878 were paid by Cuba. Spain fur nished 212,367 men, but not a single dollar. Cuba was loaded with nearly $200,000,000 debt, besides a yearly budget of $53,000,000 in those ten years. Gen. Lovellard declared in the Spanish cortes that the war expenses had been $700, 000, 000, or an average of $70,000,000 a year. Sugar produced then with slave labor was sold at 6 cents a pound. The tobacco industry was in such a flourishing' condition that the minister of the colonies, Romeo Robaledo, called the buildings of their factories 'palaces.' Leaf tobacco was sold 100 per cent, above to-day's prices. Per contra sug-ar sells to-day at 1.86 cents a pound, or 30 per cent. below cost of production and is pressed to its last ditch by Ger man beet sugar. The tobacco industry is ruined beyond redemption by a tariff war. Leaf does not pay the cost of labor at to-day's prices. The produc tion of Cuba this year will be: Sugar, $32,000,000; tobacco, $12,000,000; fruits and sundries, $5,000,000; total, $49,- 000,000; deficit, $45,000,000. Expenses: Budget, $26,500,000; extra octroi tax, $3,500,000; imports, $35,000,000; mu nicipal budgets, $10,000,000; extra war expenses at least $19,000,000. To tal, $94,000,000. A $5,000,000 deficit is the last straw on the camel's back. The budget of 1393-1894 was closed with a $6,000,000 deficit and sugar sold theD at 2.625 cents a pound, while this year it sells at 1.86 cents a pound." A YOUNG BRUTE.

The demo cratic state silver convention adjourned last night after a session in the course of which there was little dissension. Resolutions were adopted declaring in favor of the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the United States at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the action of any other na tion, also indorsing the action of the democratic state central committee in calling this convention and instruct ing the committee to carry out the will of the convention by inaugurating a campaign of education and thoroughly organizing the democracy throughout the state on the lines laid down in the resolu tions. The democratic members of congress and senators are also instruct ed to use all honorable means to carry out the principles enunciated. Reso lutions were also adopted in favor of a national silver convention, to be held not later than August, and delegates-at-large to such convention, if one shall be called, were selected. The preamble and resolution on the currency subject was as follows: Whereas, Silver and gold have been the principal money metals of the world for thou sands of years, and silver money is recog nized and used as honest money between in dividuals and between nations, notwithstand ing the varying ratio between silver and gold; and Whereas, The demonetization of silver has deprived the people of the free use and benefit of an invaluable and original money metal, and has increased debts and added to the burdens of the people by lowering the value of labor and labor products; and Whereas, The constitution of the United States prohibits any state from using anything but gold and silver coin as a legal tender for the payment of debts, thereby recognizing that coin composed of silver or gold is honest money and to be used as a legal tender; there fore, be it Resolved, By the democrats of Illinois, in convention assembled, that we are in favor of the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the United States, and demand the free and unlimited coinage of both metals at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the action of any other nation, and such coins shall be a legal tender for all debts, both public and private, and that all contracts hereafter executed for the payment of money, whether in gold, silver or coin, may be discharged by any money which is by law legal tender. KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS CONVENE. Louisville, Ky.,June 6. The repub lican state convention convened at 2 p. m. yesterday at.the Auditorium, seat ing 5,000. The planks adopted on the currency question and the tariff were as follows: We are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, believing it would involve the country In financial ruin. We believe in a sound currency and in the use of both gold and silver for coinage, provided always, that a dol lar in one is made precisely as valuable as a dollar in the other. We favor a tariff so regulated as to protect the interests of all classes of our citizens upon articles that may be successfully manufactured or produced In this country, thus insuring good wages to the laborer and a home market to the produoer, and in connection with this we favor the re-establishment of the dootrine of reci procity. We believe that such a system would defray every governmental expense, gradually liquidate all indebtedness, restore public con fidence and relegate to the rear the undue ex citement now prevailing concerning the cur rency. W. O. Bradlev was nominated for governor by acclamation. MISSOURI UNIVERSITY. Final Commencement Exercises Held at Columbia. Columbia, Mo., June 6.

Denial That Infected Pork Is Stamped as Good. Washington, June 6. It is said at the agricultural department that there is no truth in the published reports that pork examined microscopically for Germany and France, and found to contain trichinae, is stamped by the in spectors as free from disease, and so transported and sold in interstate com merce trade. Early in February, Sec retary Morton ordered all pork ex amined and found to be infected with trichinosis tanked, but later it was decided that the present law did not give the secretary this authority. The enforcement of the order was, therefore, postponed until July 1, when the new law goes into effect. It is doubtful, however, whether the new law will give him power to cause the destruction of pork infected with triehinsa. It onlv au thorizes the secretary to make such regulations as he may deem necessary to prevent the shipment of condemned carcasses from one state to another, and does not specifically give him juris diction over pork examined for tri ehinsa and condemned to prevent its sale in the local market of the rlace where it is examined. The local authorities alone can effect this unless they secure from Germany and France (the countries requiring the inspection for trichinae) voluntary agreements, such as have been made with shippers of beef, mutton, etc., by which the latter agree to tank such carcasses as do not pass federal inspec tion. If such a regulation is put in force, however, it is feared that the pork exportation to Germany and France will cease. "The percentage of pork infected with trichinosis is so large," said Mr. Salmon, "that if all the carcasses found to be infected went to the rendering vats the ship pers' profits would all disappear." The amount of pork exported to Germany and France averages from 5,000,000 to ,000,000 pounds monthly. TERMIN AL'S Bitt DEAL. Buys Ten Acron of Land for Yards In Arraourdale. Armourdale, Kaa.. June 6.

Reports from south ern states indicate that corn in that section is in excellent condition. In Nebraska the crop has grown well dur ing the week, and is in excellent con dition. Winter wheat is in a less promising condition in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Missouri, and rust is appearing in Illinois; it is nearly ready to harvest in Kansas and is heading in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Tobacco is growing nicely in the Carolinas, and planting is progressing favorably in Kentucky, Virginia and Maryland. In Ohio plants are dying from drought. THE PENNSYLVANIA FIRES.

OTHER STATE NEWS. Three Girls Charge a Man With Betrayal at Everest. Leavenworth, June 6. The only fa vorable change in the situation at the Home mine is the attitude of the "com pany men" and the making of certain concessions by the operators. The "com pany men" have really never been very much opposed to going to work at the reduced wages that went into effect June 1. On Monday a committee of them waited on Superintendent Kiersted and informed him they were ready to go work. lie told them to report yesterday morning, which they did, and some of them were sent down. Of course, there is not very much for "company" men to do as long as the miners are not digging coal. The miners held a meeting yesterday, but did not decide to return to work. It is stated the company has made certain concessions in that it is willing to restore the price of brushing up, etc., and pay every two weeks. It does not, however, propose to pay 80 cents for mining. It is believed by many that the differ ences will be satisfactorily adjusted by the first of next week. LEtVELIIKO OX THE "REDEEMERS.' He Says the Republican Platform Ought to Bo "Get Offices." Wichita, June 6. Speaking of the removal of Warden Chase and the re cent persecution of Populist office hold ers, ex-Governor Lewelling said in an interview in the Beacon: 'The action of the Republicans in re moving "Warden Chase, is simply in famous. I am not particularly wedded to Mr. Chase, but consider him a plain, blunt honest farmer, and a man possessed of remarkable executive ability. It was this predominant trait in his character which led me to appoint him warden. "There is not an intelligent Republi can in Kansas but knows he was removed for political reasons only: removed to make a place for some hungry spoils hunter. There is no man of tense and honesty but will frankly confess that this greed for office is the moving spirit of the Republican party of Kansas today. Their platform ought to be embodied in the single phrase, 'Get the offices. Hon estly if possible, but get them at what ever cost to manhood, honesty and re form.' "If ever there was a lot of 'Redeem ers' who ought to be crucified by the people, Kansas has them this year. Mr. Chase has saved more to the state than any warden who has preceeded him, having for a time almost made the prison self sustaining. So marked was this that he received the commedation of the leading daily papers of the opposition, and was even commended by Gov. Mor rill himself after the election. "One of the most reprehensible things in this investigation business is the use of the governor's contingent fund to oppress the men who held office under the Populist administration, and make places for the 'hewers of wood and draw ers of water' of the Republican party. But unless I am mistaken in the temper of the people of Kansas who have the bills to pay, these chickens will come home to roosu" BETRAYED THREE GIRLS. That Is the Charge Against a Vonng Man at Krerut, Atciiison, June 6. At Everest, Brown county, there is great excitement. The farmers have quit work and are listening to the evidence in the cage of the State vs. Hughes, a young man who operates a saloon iu Everest. This is a very unusual case, and one just like it in all respects was probably never heard ot before. Several days ago three voung wo men of that neighborhood appeared before the county attorney, separately, and swore to a complaint, charging Hughes with betrayal. The first young woman appeared' at the county attorney's office and before she had related her woes the second one ar rived. Before she had taken her depar ture the third one appeared and wanted Hughes arrested on the same charge as was sworn to by the other young women. Two complaints were filed against Hughes, but tho county attorney advised the third one to wait the outcome of the first two cases, which she consented to do. The young ladies in the case are daugh ters of prominent Norwegian farmers of that vicinity. Later Hughes ha3 been bound over to the district court as a result of the pre liminary examination.

W. A. S. BIRD RETURNS. Says the Depositions Secured by Him Are Favorable to the City. City Attorney W. A. 3. Bird returned today from New Y'ork where he was present in behalf of the city at the tak ing of depositions in the case of William B. Strong against the Torjeka water company in which the city is made a party. The point on which the city is inter ested is whether it is liable for hydrant rental paid to the water company, which it is claimed should have been applied on the indebtedness of the company. Mr. Bird says that the depositions were favorable to the city, and that no attempt was made to prove that the coupons had ever been deposited at the fiscal agency. It developed that a demand for the pay ment of the money to the bondholders was never made by anyone. He says he is- convinced by what he heard that the city will not be liable for the hvdrant rental, amounting to over $100,000. Badly Hart in a Runaway. Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

President Cleveland is Finish ing Up Business Preparatory to Leaving for Buzzard's Bay. MR. 0L3EY A CALLER At the White House Today Anions: Others. The President Refuses to Pardon Van Leuven. Washingnon, June 6. The president is devoting all his time to closing up all the business before him that must be at tended to before he leaves Washington, so that he may have a few weeks for recreation when he goes to Gray Gables. The business now chiefly engrossing his attention is the filling of cabinet and other vacancies, and examination of charges against office holders. It is the desire of the president to fill all the larger office now vacant before he goes away. Today he received a num ber of callers. Among the first was At torney General Olney, who remained a short time. Shortly afterwards Acting Secretary Uhl presented some business of the state department and remained with the president for some time. Several con gressmen also saw the president. The president has denied the applica tion for pardon in the case of George Van Leuven, who was convicted in the United States district court for the northern district of Iowa, for violation of the pension laws, and sentenced December 15 to two years imprisonment and to pay a fine of $1,000. 'ibis was quite a celebrated case. Van Leuven was convicted on 37 casea. His pardon is asked on account of ill health, his physician and the warden of the prison certifying to his serious con dition. In denying the application for a pardon the president says: "Ihis convict was leniently treated bv the courts and I do not think the repre sentations as to his health are sufficient to justify his pardon."

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stook Exchange. Room S, Columbian Balldlrar. The market has been one of the strong est of the year. It did not rush up sud denly, but fought its way inch by inch against persistent attempts to back, and closed near the top with strong indica tions of going higher. No important news was received until near the close, the early impetus coming mainly from worried shorta The Daily Trade Bulletin received during the session a special cable from Liverpool. Corn trade news reports prospects of a decrease two hundred million bushels. European rye crop, compared with last year, yield a little later. The state weather and crop report from California came in saying that wheat had been badly hurt by hot winds, which were still blowing in the Sacramento and San Joanquin val leys. As the wheat is understood to be iu the milk hot winds would soon cook it Damage reports from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri were plen tiful and bad. The condition of the crop is evidently growing worse daily. Balti more and New Y'ork report in creased inquiry from exporters. Canadian millers are trying to buy wheat in Detroit but that market has none to spare except as it is supplied from Chicago. Millers east, west, north and south come here for wheat because they can't get it elsewhere. With crop indications, conditions growing worse, there will naturally be more demand for wheat Corn and oats Reported condition of 64 for oats in Ohio was a revelation to most people. They had not supposed the damage to have been nearly so much and it indicates a shorter crop than the traders have been counting on. An In diana farmer oa change today said they Mr. A. H. Cransbr, of Ko. 1B3 Kerr 8U, Memphis, Tenn., writes that bis wife had can cer which had eatea two larire boles in her breast, and which the best physicians of the surrounding country treated, and pronounced in. curable. Her irrandmother and aunt had died of Si and when told this, the most eminent specialists of New Yort, under whose treat ment she was placed, de clared her case was hopeless. AU treatment having failed, ehe was piven up to die 6. S. S. was recommended, and astonishing as it may seem, a few bottles cured her sound and well. Our treatise on this dis ease will be sent free to any address. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta. Ca would not raise half a crop in his state. The travelling men of receiving houses who have been through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri wire that they do not look for more than half a crop in any of those states. The plant was hurt in Nebraska by the drouth and it is said rain since will not restore it ta its early promise. The same is true in Kansas, and only in Iowa and Northwest are prospects fine. Corn is likewise suffering from tho drouth, and both grains are feeling the effects of their reports speculatively. The outlook present is for much higher prices. Provisions took on a little strength from other markets, but show no inher ant strength and there is little doing. Open, lliya 1mv. Ciojj.

Evidence of damage to winter wheat is perhaps more positive than heretofore, and moisture now only serves to make plumper grain. Spring wheat continues promising. Oats short ended.

Officer Lowe may have drank only two glasses of beer in the back alley, but what had he been drinking: before he went into the alley? Two glasses of boor seldom make a man drunk, but two glasses of beer piled on a lot of other drinks taken previously will do it. The governor should ascertain the condition of public sentiment before he resorts to extreme measures to remove "Warden Chase. It may be that the peo ple of Lansing prefer to have him re main. In that case why, of course, the law providing for his removal should not be enforced. Topeka, that wonderful city "where the prohibitory law i9 enofrced," has just enjoyed the sensation of removing a patrolman from duty for being found dead drunk in a back alley. Leaven worth Times. In Leavenworth they wouldn't think of removing him. It is because the law Is enforced in Topeka that the police man is suspended. The inconsistency of favoring Harrison or Allison for the presidency while as serting that ha himself is a bimetallism does not seem to have occurred to Mr. lngalls. lie must know that bimetallism in the west means the use of gold and silver on an equality and not the single gold standard as it does in the creed of Allison and Harrison. Tukre should be no cessation in the erection of irrigation plants by Kansas farmers on account of the recent heavy rains. Rains are too infrequent and ir regular to be depended upon. With a good system of irrigation in operation the farmer can compute the result of his labor almost with certainty. There ia no contingency except the one of prica The assessor' returns for the city of Leavenworth show a slight decrease in population. It appears from this that even saloons, and Leavenworth is said to have more than 200 of them, do not bring sufficient prosperity to all cities to keep up the population. Unfortunately, too, for the theory that saloons add to a city's prosperity, Leavenworth just now has a large number of idle workingmen who are subsisting on public charity. It begins to look as though there might be some sort of a collision between the two dam companies. The people of Topeka are not in a humor to be trifled with much in the matter of a dam. They have been fooled a good many times, and if either of these companies shows an honest disposition to build a dam, it will have the, moral support of a large majority of the citizen. Any sort of a dog-in-the-manger policy on the part of either company will meet with severe condemnation. Instead of making the defense that those bad, wicked boys got him to drink a second glass of beer Officer Lowe should hare had some friends to make fS4aji!!hat he had not been drinking at all. It ia becoming outrageous the way public officials are accused of being drunk just because they do not happen to walk exactly straight or happen to sit down in an aller'to rest. It is now evi dent in this case, however, that that sec ond glass of beer that the boys got Lowe to drink is what did the business. If he had only arrested the whole party after drinking the first glass it might nave been different The Oskaloosa Times has been doing some investigating iu connection with the assessment in Union township of Jef ferson county. The Times found that there W8s returned for assessment in that township corn on hand to the amount of 82,723 bushels. Further investigation showed that the assessor's statistical rolls gave 506,430 bushels as the amount of corn in the cribs of the Union town ship farmers. The Times follows up this discovery by asking awkward questions regarding this seeming discrepancy be tween the two returns. It would be in teresting, no doubt, to the people gener ally to know whether or not this condi tion is peculiar to Union township or whether or not the honest farmers gen erally have been imitating their brothers in the cities whom they have often ac cused of evading their proper share of the burdens of taxation. Whatever the explanation otthe Union township farm ers may be, a half million bushels of corn is a large amount. KANSAS PARAGRAPHS.

CHASE TO KEEP DP THE FIGHT By an Appeal to the Courts-Board of Penitentiary Directors to Meet To morrow. Governor Morrill this morning ap pointed J. Bruce Lynch of Chanute, warden of the state penitentiary at Lan sing to succeed 8. W. Chase who was last evening served with notice of his removal. Bruce Lynoh is a Santa Fe engineer and has for several years been pulling one of the regular Southern Kansas passenger trains between Chanute and Kansas City. He was the Republican candidate for state treasurer in 1892, but went down to defeat with Farmer A W. Smiih and the rest of the ticket. He was a candidate for the nomination ugain last year, but was defeated in the convention by Otis L. Atherton. Dick Chase, the present warden, was appointed by Governor Lewelling two years ao for a term of four years, and he contends that he cannot be removed until the expiration of the term for which he was appointed and confirmed. Mr. T. W. Eckert, of Arkansas City, served the notice of his removal on Chase last evening on the depot platform at Holliday. Mr. Chase said he was not trying "to evade service, but will not tnrn the penitentiary over to his succes sor until ordered to do so by the courts. The board of penitentiary directors will meet at Lansing tomorrow, when, it is said, the bond of the new warden will be approved and his appointment of depu ties will be confirmed. It is said that the old employes at the penitentiary will not be removed all at once, but will be retained until the new men become acquainted with their duties. This is necessary to keep up the discipline of the institution. They will doubtless go as fast as they can be got rid of, to make room for Republi cans. FLORENCE BADLY SHAKEN. Residents Are Again Tnrrlfied By a Sharp Ettrtliquttke .Shock Tills Morning. Florence, Italy, June 6. There was a sharp earthquake shock here at 1:36 this morning. It aroused almost every body hastily from their beds, and when it was followed by a succession of other subterranean disturbances, shock follow ing shock in rapid succession, the peo ple became panic stricken and rushed in terror to the streets,- where they re mained for hours, greatly alarmed. The greatest excitement prevailed in the streets shortly after the shocks,whole families remaining huddled together, guarding their most valuable possessions which they had carriad with them in their flight from their homes. Many people fell on their knees in the middle of the streets and prayed, while others seemed too terrified to do anything but to rush about and add to the feeling of panic which prevailed. The entire police force of the city was promptly turned out and the authorities did every thing possible to allay the alarm. So far as known the shocks were only severe enough to shake down movable articles from shelves, sideboards, eta, although there was considerable sway ing of houses, particularly in certain districts of the city where the shocks seem to have been more severely felt than in others. The guests of the differ ent hotels seem to have been the least alarmed of all, though they were aroused from their beds by the earthquake shocks. FOR RAMMING PURPOSES. The U. S.

WHY MOT SAYE FROM SATAH The People fOur Own Town Instead of lleaihen In Foreign Lands-Improvements That Might be Made at tile City .Prison. Police Matron Thorpe of the city prison has written a letter to the Journal in which she urges the establishment of more apartments for the separation of prisoners of certain classes. It is often necessary to retain persons of cleanliness and refinement and of youth with pris oners of the lowest type and the sugges tion is to have this changed. Her posi tion is heartily endorsed by all the police officers who talked about the situation, particularly the jailers. Her letter is as follows: To tiie Kditor of the State Journal. Is it right for all classes of criminals to be con lined together in one small room, is a question causing great worry to the officers at the city prison. Some prisoners are vile and brutish as human nature can become others are, at most, but oilenders, or suspected of misdemeanors. Last week would serve as a good example: The women's one small room has had four white and four colored in mates. The former were all ailing, nerv ous and hysterical. The colored women (at first) bitter, jealous, quarrelsome and boisterous in their fun aud talk. It re quired three days of the utmost sur veillance to secure anything like har mony or kindliness among them. These women will probably remain in these quarters for three weeks, meantime others will be coming and going con tinually. With this crowd it wag necessary to confiue for a time a neat, refined woman who had been the wife of a once eminent tire marshal. Just one more little inex pensive room would have given this un fortunate some comfort and quiet to re cent of her Bins. The men's room is but a trifle larger, and in it have been kept this week from 15 to 30 men and boys of all grades of depravity and complexion. The muiderous inebriate has bullied and injured the weak invalid; the scrupulous man Las bean obliged to bunk with the filthy and vermin and disease infested: the boys whose aces the jailer seldom recorded with more than one figure, with the vilest rogues. These boys were pushed sobbing through the great iron door, to be teased and taught by the most vile and daring criminals until their terms expire and then go forth, not as corrected boys, but as well instructed law breakers. They graduate in this school with dis patch, and their release is truly their 'commencement!" Not all of our 66 churches can erase from their minda the infection of this week in prison! Topeka has 87 buildings for the con Tersion of men; it has lodges and tem ples and societies innumerable for their enjoyment and protection and there ought to be two more rooms at the city prison.

The Secretary Busily Botmlaf the Wonderful Plant That Subdues the I)sert State House Xfwu. If there is one thing more than another that Secretary Coburn of the state board of agriculture likes to talk about it is 'alfalfa." He has "alfalfa" printed in red letters on all the books and pamphlets he sends out, and in the middle of his desk he has a box marked "alfalfa" with a miniature United States flag below it. In his biennial report Mr. Coburn de voted some space to "alfalfa" but some of the more enthusiastic friends of the plant, thought Mr. Coburn might have said more about his favorite crop. In his biennial report Mr. Coburn told about the wonderful roots of the alfalfa plant; how they always go down through the earth to water, and rind moisture no matter what the distunce. He said the alfalfa roots go down ten, fifteen and sometimes twenty feet. Yesterday Mr. Coburn received a letter from a Meriden editor who said he un derstood that of course was a mistake, and Mr. Coburn meant to say the roots of alfalfa go down ten, fifteen and twenty inches. This caused Mr. Coburn to turn to the report of Expert Irish of the United States department of agriculture who recently issued a special alfalfa report. Mr. Irish said the alfalfa roots go down to an average depth of from twenty-nine to thirty-two feet, and he had personal know ledge of the roots of this plant going down 129 feet Mr. Coburn sent the Meriden editor some of this data. Mr. Coburn explained to a State Jour nal reporter that when Mr. Irish was in Arizona looking up data for his depart ment about a year ago he had occasion to visit a big mine. While in that mine he noticed a place where water trickled through the roof of the mine. An ex amination showed that the roots of some kind of a plant came through the same crevice where the water did. These roots were taken out and exam ined and were found to be alfalfa roots which had gone down from an old alfalfa field overhead and into that mine a depth of 129 feet. Mr. Coburn says it is on account of the roots that this plant is so valuable to the farmers of western Kansas. It gets its moisture from below and does not depend on rains and the rainmaker. AT MORRILL'S TOWN. Bow the Governor's Position Enosnnril Law Breaking; at His Own Home. The last number of the Hiawatha World says: What a farce the trials of joint keepers are, anyhow. Mr. Griffith says the evas ion is about like the man arrested for stealing a horse. He proved that it was a mare and the case was dismissed. A man was arrested for shooting a dog. The witnesses swore that they saw the man point the gun, heard the explosion and saw the dog fall. "But did you see the bullet strike the dog?" asked the at torney. The witness did not see the bullet. The man was acquitted. Mr. Griffith says there is a difference in the conduct of a saloon town and an an ti-saloon place. When he goes to Rulo he can hear the drunkards yell ing a mile away. The last time he was there a blear-eyed bum yelled at him from a doorway: VTho the hell are you?" He did not answer, and the fel low followed Mr. Griffith and cursed him for being too proud to speak to a gentleman! With joints Hiawatha majr become like Rulo.

"If I bring you a man who will swear to getting liquor at certain places will you prosecute them?" asked Mr. Ziller. "Such evidence would hardly be suffi cient to go into court with," was the re ply. "Great guns!" exclaimed Mr. Ziller; "what is sufficient and what is neces sary? You tell Jim Clark that I voted for him, but I won't do it again." THE KANSAS APPLE KINO. Mr. Wellhouse Has a Deak In the State House Now. Mr. F, Wellhouse, who is known among fruit growers as the "Apple King of the World," now ha3 a desk in the state house, where he represents the State Horticultural society. Mr. Wellhouse and his son, who is his partner in the fruit growing business, own so many apple trees that they can't count them, or at least they doa't count them by trees. They have altogether 1560 acre3 plant ed in apple trees. Their bearing orchards are in Leaven worth county, where they have 600 acres. Their largest orchard is just south of Wakarusa, along the line of the Santa Fe, where they have 800 acres planted in apple trees. The remaining 160 acres of apple trees is located in Miami county, near the Johnson county line. Mr. Wellhouse says this has been a good year so far for apple trees and his orchards are all doing nicely. This is especially true of those near Wakarusa.

GAGE. -Reception at Lincoln Post HmII to the Donor of the Monument. Though Mrs. Gage was unable to be present on account of ill health, the re ception to G. G. Guge at Lincoln post hall last night was very pretty and tit ting. The reception was given by Lincoln post, and the other G. A. II. posts of the city joined in the greeting. The hall was crowded and it was al most uncomfortable. It was the acknowledgment of Mr. Gage's handsome tribute to the fallen heroes of the battle of the Blue and of the unveiling of the monument at tho Topeka cemetery last Thursday. The evening was passed most pleasant ly. The Modocs were present and assist ed Major Anderson aud Major Fuller in furnishing the patriotic music. 11. X. Davendorf was the master of ceremonies. The principal address was made by Judge J. G. Wood, who spoke of the beauties of the gift and of patriotism and feelingly of the old soldiers livinsr and dead who had performed their sacred duty to their country. In replying, Mr. Gage, who has already announced that he is not a speechmaker, and added last night that he was a brickmaker iustead, said: "I claim no special credit for having carried out a plan to commemorate the virtues and patriotism of my immediate comrades, the friends of my youth. I wish to thank you one and all on behalf of myseif and my wife, who is not strong enough to be present this evening, for your kind sympathy and co-operation in this movement. There were also very informal and short talks by J. G. Waters, Mrs. Frances Wood, J. B. McAfee, a B. Bradford.Mrs J. G. Wood, Mrs. Cartledge, Major G. W. Burge and D. C. Tillotson. Complimentary resolutions were intro duced and passed. The committee con sisted of Judge Wood, O. W. Fox aud John L. Guy. The resolutions commend the patriotism and generosity of Mr. Gage, express the gratitude of the post, bespeak special at tention to the graves marked by the Gage monument in future and close with a tribute of respect to Mrs. Gage.

ESS3 333 RILEY'S 110 A RING WELL. A Curiosity at Fort Kiley That Hasn't Been Explained. There is a natural curiosity in the vicin ity of Fort Riley in the shape of a well on the farm of Henry Myers. It is an ordinary drilled well, about 125 feet deep. It was put down ten or fif teen years ago. Passers-by are at lirst etruck with a peculiar roaring sound, coming from the well. Upon removing the flat rook which covers the well the person making the investigation is met by a wliLil of ice cold air, which rushos out with great ve locity. Every winter the wter freezes in the well to a djpth of forty feet. The Manhattan Nationalist gives an account of the well this week, conclud ing with the statement that the story is not a fake. It is said that a number of scientific gentlemen have examined the well lateiv. TO PICNIC AT TECIJJISEII. Four Hundred Topoktt Pfople Will Makn nu Excursion There Xuinurrow.

Beginning Sunday the S.inta Fe rail way will make the run between Kansas City and Chicago in fifteen hour'. The Denver express, which h is been leaving Kansas City at 8:20 o'clock p. nu, will leave at 7 o'clock p. in arriving in Chicago at 10 o'clock the next morning. The Kansas City-Chicago linos have had an agreement not to make the run be tween the cities in less than V1. hours. The action of the Sam Fe is in violation of this agreement and may cause troubie, as the Alton railway announced today that it would change its time card so as to compete with tne Santa Fe. The Santa Fe mileage between Kansas City and Chicago is only 453, and the company claims that if it were necessary it couid cover the distance in ten hours. No further reduction in the running time is expected, however, as the line with the greater mileage would retaliate by cutting rates. HAS SOLD HIS HOME.

Personal Items of Interest Abont To peka People and Visitors in Town. The wedding of Miss Mollie Elibabetu Crane to ilr. William James Radclifl was solemnized last evening at the pretty suburban home of the bride's parents one mile east of the city. Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Crane, the latter in a sage green figured silk trimmed in dark green vel vet, Miss Byrd Radcliff in a nile green silk and carrying La France roses. Miss Georgia Radliff in a white china silk and carrying white roses, and Mr. Frank Crane received the guests to the number of about one hundred in the cheery re ception hall profusely decorated in palma and bright red hollyhocks. The library oil the reception hall was decorated in palma and great quantities of daisies. The punch bowl was placed in the bay window surrounded with palms and ferns and here during the evening presided the different members of the L O. T. ii club to which the bride belongs. The huge parlor on the opposite side of the halt was entirely in green and white. Strands of asparagus ferna fell gracefully ovor the line lace curtains and twined above the broad archway leading into the room. Within the space between two windows was a solid banking of ferna and palms, at the base and along the sides of a tall mirror reaching from about half way up the wall to the ceiling. A large bowl of white carnations rested on the little bracket at the foot of the mirror and over and above all extending from the window to the center of the ceiling was a thickly yet delicately woven conopy, from which was suspended a huge bunch of white carnations. White fur rugs were placed where the wedding1 party was to stand. On either side of the pretty bower stood a tall piano lamp the soft light from which beneath white and green shades blended prettily with the delicate hues of the surroundings. Completely hidden behind a cluster of tall paims in a deep recess back of the stairway was stationed the Alhambra mandolin club. Precisely at eight o'clock the sweet tones of the mandolin sounded the familiar notes of "Mendelssohn's Wedding March," and the bridal party bean descending the broad stairway, headed by the little ribbon-girls, Misses Lillie Markley and Alberta Long, pret tily attired in dainty Swis3 dresses over which were strewn sprays of asparagus fern. As they reached the foot of the stairway they gathered up the long strands of white ribbon, and, slowly ad vancing, made pathway for the bridal party. Isext came the bridesmaid. M'133 Anna Crane, sister of the bride, and accompa nied by the groomsman, Mr. E. E. Mor ris of Kansas City. The bridesmaid was attired in lijrht blue china silk, the waist and large sleeves vailed in white chiffon and trimmed in white satin ribbon, and carried la Franc roses. Then followed the bride and groom, the former in a beautiful satin gown en train. Thff full, round waist was cut high in the neck; a deep pearl passementerie ornament of Vandyke points outlined a yoke and fell over the sleeves and full blouse front. Half circles of pearls held the sof crushed collar. and over the entire costume hung the graceful folds of a silk bridal vail, caught in the hair by a diamond pin, the gift of the bride. She wore white gloves and slippers and carried a bouquet of bridal roses. Rev. S. F, McCabe had taken his place and as the bride and groom met him un der the pretty canopy the music ceased for a moment only to take up the low sweet strains of "O Promise Me," and the impressive Episcopal ring ceremony was pronounced which united the young couple for life. Hearty congratulations were then extended Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Radcliff, after which the guests were invited to the refreshment room. The decorations here were pink roses and smilax. Strands of blue ribbon twined with Bmitax hung from the chan delier to the four corners of the table. A large vase of La France roses stood in the center of the table on a hendsome centerpiece of drawn work surrounded by several well tilled bon bon dishes, and roses and smilax decorations were to be seen everywhere in the room. Mesdames Silas Rain, J. R. Haves. E. Simmons, Lewis Long, Misses Daisy Hayes and Carrie Atkinson assist ed through the rooms.

A TIME LIMIT ON PRAYEKT Sensational Scene at an Infidel Lecture at Dallas, Tex. Dallas, Tex., June 6. The Free Thinkers' hall was inadequate to conven iently hold those who listened to John R. Char e worth's infidel lecture last night, and it was the occasion of one- of the most unique challenges upon record. The lecture was entitled, "Is there a God?" The speaker claimed that while there might be one, there was no actual evidence to prove it He went over the ground from that in the earliest histories and records to the present day, and claimed that in the economy of nature, there was no necessity for a God. At the conclusion of the lecture, Mrs. Sweeney, president of the Dallas W. C T. U. arose and asked the lecturer if he would give her his name that she might pray for him and if he felt his heart touched he was to make a public admis sion of the fact, as he had of his unbe lief in a Deity, Secretary Paget of the Free Think ers' society arose and asked Mrs. Sweeny if she would accept his name; and that he, like the lecturer, doubted the exist ence of a Jehovah. All he stipulated for was a time iimit He did not want to wait till he was dead, as they might say he made a deathbed recantation. The time limit was set at three months. Mr. Paget further stipulated that if at the end of the three months, he and Mr. Charlesworth or either of them had not made a public confession, Mrs. Sweeney is to admit that there is no efficacy in prayer, that God is a failure and does not exist. To this Mr3. Sweeney agreed, and the lec turer and secretary signed thia very ex traordinary challenge. Marti Cdmlii to Florida. Febnandhta, Fla., June 6.

Mrs. Emma Milton, the white wife of Sam Milton, a colored neighbor of Novels, was the first witness when the case w&s taken up shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday. Mrs. Miltoa said that on December 6th last she went over to Nevels' house and saw him sitting on the door-step. He inquired of Mrs. Milton where his wife was. She told him she didn't know. Nevels said his wife had gone away from home and he had to break in the door in order to get into the house. Q What did you say to Nevels? A I said I thought he would be back pretty soon. Q-What did he say? A He said he was going to kill her when she got back. Q How long had she been gone? A I think he said three days. Q Did he have any weapon in his hands? A Yes, he had a slang-shot Q Is this the instrument? (handing her the slung-shot that "Doc" Ward found). A It is. Q Are vou sure of it? A Yes. Q Did you ever see it before that? A No, but I noticed it specially at the time. Mevels in Winfield December 13. Mary Cabbell, a colored girl living at Winfield, testified to seeing Nevels at Winfield December 13, two days after the murder was committed. Nevels was stopping then at his father's house. Q hen did you first see Frank Ne vels in Winfield? A December 13. Q What time of the day was this? A About sundown. Q How was he dressed? A He didn't have anv coat or hat on. and he wore a white shirt Q How do you know he came to Win field that dav? Isn't it Dossible that he had been there several days but you hadn't seen him? A No, sir; for I saw him come up from the depot U Did you see JNevels on the street much? A No; he kept pretty close to the house. S. Cure, another witness from Win field, was next called and testified to much the same as the Cabbell woman. Q What business are you in? A I do a loaning business. Q How near do you live to old man Nevels? A About 100 feet. Q Do you know Frank Nevels? A By sight Q Did you see him in Winfield last December? A Yes, Q What day? A It was either the 13th or the 14th. Q What day of the week? A Thursday or Friday, I'm not cer tain which. Q Did you see him often? A Yes; every day for a week or more. Q Where? A Around the house. Q Did you see him on the streets much? A Not once. He seemed never to eo out. but stayed close to the house. O Did you ever see him outside of his father's yard? A JN o. Cross examination by Mr. McNary: Q Who else is in your loan company? A No one except myself. Q Do a very extensive business? A Not very. Q Anything besides loans? A I cash negotiable paper. Q Are you on the street much? A A great deal of the time. Sheriff David N. Burdge was next called to the stand. He followed Chief Wilkerson, It was past 5:30 when he was called, and his examination had made so little headway that it was com menced all over again today. Mr. Burdge had simply told who he was, etc.. with out going into the details of the case, when the time for adjournment arrived. Sheriff Burdge Testifies. Sheriff David Burdge was the first witness called today. The first part of his evidence was in relation to unimpor tant details that have been covered in the printed testimony of the other wit nesses. The important testimony was as follows: Q Did Nevels ever make a confession to-M3U, or what he represented to be one? A He did. Q Tell the court what he said, as nearly as you can remember it. A He began by saying that he had nothing to do with the actual murder. He said that while he didn't kill Mr3. jMatson he knew who did. He said the murder was committed by Mr, and airs. Sam Milton, and that he was in charge of the gang that committed the robbery. B. Adams, Hayden and Ross were among those who plundered the house. Nevels said he was put up to the job by two men who went under the names of "Poker Dick" and "Ross," who were the agents of Mr. Mat son. Poker Dick represented that Mat son wanted to get possession of a will and contract that were in his wife's pos session. If the papers could be secured he wanted her killed, but if the papers could not be found he didn't want her killed. Q Did Nevels say whether or not he was a witness to the murder? A He said that he was. He Baid that was a part of his work, to stay and see that Mrs. Matson was killed, but he was to have nothing to do with the deed. He said he looked through the window open ing east from the porch and saw Sam Milton dispatch her with an axa Q What compensation did Nevels say he was to get for his services? A He said ho was to get $100 on the delivery of the papers, and that the Mil tons were to get $200 for killing the old lady. Q Did Nevels say whether or not he delivered the papers? A He said that he did not He be came alarmed after he trot them and said he had turned them over to Josie Nevels or Josie Fisher, his former wife. Q Did he describe Josie Nevels to you? A Ye3; he described her as tall, and being a iight mulatto so lig-bt she might easily pass for a white woman. He said she was nearly six feet tall and had I prominent, cheek bones. He said she lived at Argentine, Q Did you ever find Josie Nevels? A I did finally. I searched Argentine and Kansas City for her, but couldn't locate her. I finally found Josie Nevels in Junction City, but she was just the opposite of the description. She was Bhort and fat, and nearly black. She told me of another former wife of Nevels who went as Elsie Nevels or Elsie Thomas. She answered the description exactly. We found her in North Topeka and when we took her to face Nevels he admitted that he had lied. Q Did you ever look for "Poker Dick" or this man Ross? A Yes, I hunted for them. I found trace of a man who went under the name of Poker Dick at Herington, but never heard anything of Ross. Q Did you ask Nevela why he had lied to you? A I did. He replied that he was on the inside and we were outside, and that that made a big difference. Q Is it true that Nevels was confined in a "sweat box" at the county jail? A No, we have no "sweat box." We have a room that was built for that pur pose, but the steam connections were never made. The prisoners think it is the most desirable cell in the whole jail. Cross Examination. Here Sheriff Burdge was cross exam ined by Lawyer Easminger. Q When did you first get an inkling that Nevels was implicated in this case, and where? A When John Wilkerson returned from Sam Milton's house and told me what he had learned. Q If it were not for that slung shot then, you would never have suspected Nevels? A Yes, we would, but probatly not at that time. Q How long was Nevels 'in jail be fore any complaint was filed against him? A I don't remember exactly. Only a few days. Q Wa3 he arrested by order of the coroner's jury? A No. Q Did you testify before the coroner's jury? A No; I was not asked to. Q-yls is not a fact that you based yonr suspicions on which you made the com plaint against Nevels on what Mrs. Mil ton and "Doc" Ward told you? A Not solely. Q How often did you visit Nevila at the jail? A Not to exceed twice a week. Q Didn't you tell Nevils that you had plenty of money and didn't want the re ward, that all you wanted wps the glory of a conviction, that he could keep the reward t A I never said that. I believe he was the one who brought up the subject of the reward. I said 1 didn't know whether there was one offered or not. I hadn't seen the proclamation. Q D;d you ever advise Nevels not to talk to the police that they were Pops and would soon be out, and couldn't do him any good. A No. Q Did you ever tell Nevels you be lieved Albert Matson was the guilty man. A I never did. Q Was this confession of Nevels' made before or after Matson came to town? A I don't remember. t (2 When you had gone on 'several of these wild goose chases you got pretty mad at Nevels didn't you, and told him you weren't going to fool with him any longer? A No, I told him I believed he was the guilty man, but any information he would give us involving anyone else in the case would be attended to by us. Q There was a good deal of rivalry, wasn't there, between the sheriff's forces and the police force, over the ca3e? A We were not working in harmony. Q Did you refuse Gish admission to the jail? A I did once, but he had seen Nevels several times before and saw him several times afterwards at the jail. On re-direct examination by County Attorney Safford, the sheriff was asked: Q What was it you said to Nevels re garding his guilt? A I told him I believed that he was guilty alone, and that no one else was mixed up in the case. Q What did he say? A He said if I would follow up his clues he would prove that there were others in it. Q Did you ever find the will of Mrs. Maison? A No. Q Do you know whether there was one? A No, Tony Smith Recalled. Tony Smith was again called to the stand and questioned by Mr. Ensminger in substance as follows. Q Where did you live early last spring? A In Booge's flats, on East First street Q Where did you move from there? A Up on Eleventh street Q Where from there? A To Fifteenth street, next to Sam Milton's. Q Did you have this piece of iron that the slung shot is made frpm, all the time? A Yes. Q You lugged it around with you when you moved four times? A Yes. The State Rests. "State rests," said County Attorney Safford. "Examine the witnesses for the de fense," ordered Judge Hazen. The attorneys for the defense pleaded for a recess in which' they might confer together with Nevels, and Judge Hazen gave them thirty minutes. At the expiration of that time the jury and the lawyers returned, and Lawyer J. R. McNary outlined what the defense expected to prove. "We expect to prove," JIcNary said, "that Frank Nevels had nothing" what ever to do with the murder, and knows nothing about it. He will take the stand in his own behalf and tell you who he is, what he is and where he was at the time of the murder. "We expect to prove, second, that since his arrest he has been without a dollar. His old father even walked half the way from Winfield here to be present at his son's trial." "Third, We will prove that John Wil kerson and Sheriff Burdge have prose cuted Nevela from selfish and political motives. "Fourth. We expect to prove that Nevels left Topeka on December 11, the day before the murder was committed. "Fifth, We will prove that Nevela was in Winfield on the night of December 12, at the home of his father, and that Jho did not hide nor secrete himself but SERMON By Prof. Samuels That Is Well Worth Reading. Don't -wear glasses that tire your eyes, and don't imagine that you ever can get use to them for you dan't Prof. Samuels an author ity on the subjact, as everybody know3. Eyes must never tire through glasses. Those who wear them should bear this in mind. In using glasses they must feel easy and restful from the very mo ment they are put on. If the optician or oculist tells you, when they tire your eyes, that you will get used to them, tell him that Prof. Samuels says "No." They must feel restful at ones, otherwise they will injure your eyes as well as your health, and if he sends you to some par son that he fitted with glasses and that person tells you that his glasses tired his eyes at first, but he finally got used to them, you will know the glasses were' wrong. A person can get used to anything but how much injury do you think you will do your eyes during the process? Your eyes can be strengthened and im proved in the same length of time that it took to injure them. When your eyes and head feel tired, you are seeking for relief and not for more tired feeling. Don't take glasses that make you sick in your stomach. Don't take glasses that make you feel like a drunken man, or feel like the floor is raising. If your oculist can't give you relief, Prof, Samuels, at the Hotel Throop, can. Don't allow anyone using drugs to ex amine your eyes. Prof. Samuels never uses them, and he will challenge anyone in this country for big. money, barring not even the man who gives a piece of paper to thoie fellows for $50 and teaches them from two to four weeks. Prof. Samuels cures nervous troubles entirely through the eyes. No charges made for consultation. First published in the Topeka State Journal June G. 1895. J MONTHLY REPORT.

"Sixth, We will disprove all of Mrs. Sam Milton's testimony, and prove that Milton hauled the goods in controversy from Tony Smith's house to Nevels' house. "Seventh, We will prove tnat if plun der was the object of the affair the mur der was unnecessary with a sane mind. We will show that Mrs. Matson visited at Nevels' house often at all hours, and that he did most of the little jobi of repair ing around her houses. "Eighth So far &s the bolt or slung shot is concerned, Nevels knows noth ing about it. We will prove that the shawl in which the slung-shot is alleged to have been found, was shaken thor oughly before "Doc" Ward got there. "Ninth We will prove that when Nevels was put in the county jail prom ises and threats were resorted to in order to make him talk, and he will tell you when he takes the stand why he lied to the officers." Ex-Police Captain Peter N. G'nh was the first witness called for the de fence. He had made but little headway when the time came for the noon adjournment The most important thing that Gish said was that he shook all the coverings of the body, including the shawl, before "Dock" Ward did, to see if anything would fall out, and he was sure there was no slung-shot in the shawl at that time.

"Come, girls, come," said the deacon, putting his head into the room, covered by a huge fur cap. "Mother's all ready, and it'9 high time we were off to Brother Boggs', for the meetin begins at 7." "Papa," said Kate, "my ankle feels a little sore yet. I don't believe I had bet ter try to walk so far. For Kate, usually the lit host and most agile of Kates, had slipped on the floor of the milkrooiii that afternoon and made fuss enough, Dora declared, for a dozen ankle sprains. "Well," said the deacon, "perhaps you badn't better. Are you ready, Dora?" Dora colored and dropped her workbas fcot. "Papa, I I thought I would wait until Mary Pilkington came for me. She don't like to go alone such a distance." "Oh, very well," said the deacon; "you will have to walk pretty fast though!" Deacon Polberry 's fur cap disappeared, and ton minutes afterward Harry Syme called to see Kate, and Alonzo Smith drop ped in to see Dura. They had a cozy time, but the lovers protested they would not Etand the deacon's opposition any longer, but would bring him to terms. The girls begged them not to be rash, but they in sisted, and tims flew eo fa9t while the girls-coaxed thorn to be "reasonable" that the clock struck 10 before they were aware of it. "Ten o'clock!" cried Mr. Smith. "Har Ty, old follow, we really must be going!" And at the same instant, like an echo to bis words, there came the sound of a pro digious knocking. Deacon Polberry and tia wife had come back from the prayer meeting. "The key of the back door quick!" 'whispered Alonzo. "Oh, Aloneo," cried Dora, all in a trem tole, "papa took it with him!" "The deuce!" cried Alonzo. "However, 1 don't care. I'd as soon face him as not. But Kato and Dora pushed their two lovers with one accord toward the door. "The garret, quick, the garret! We can It you out after papa and mamma are steen!" And Harry and Alonzo found them selves stumbling over one another on the garret stairs, while Kate dutifully un barred the door. "A cold night," said the deacon, rub bing his hands together as he approached the tire. "How's your ankle, Kate?" "Better, papa." "Mary Pilkington wa3 in the front seat when we got there, 6aid Mrs. Polberry to her youngest born. "You'd better ha' come with us!" "How provoking!" said Dora, biting her lip. "A nice Are you've got!" said the dea con. "Mother, s'pose you just draw a pitcher of cider, and I'll go up garret arter a few o' them shagbarks!" Kate gave a little shriek. "So late, papa!" 1 "'Taint late," said tho deacon com posedly. Get me a lantern, Dora. "Papa, the lantern is out at the barn," said Dora, with chattering teeth. "A candle ain't safe in that drafty old garret," said the deacon- "Waal, I guess I can find ail I want in the dark." And up stairs he went, with a firm, res olute tread, which struck terror into the hearts of the fair conspirators sitting breathless below. But the deacon was considerably more terrified when, stooping to fill his tin pan with the treasures heaped under tho eaves, he felt himself seized by the throat, and something ico cold and slippery placed against his temple. "Make but an effort to resist, and we hoot!" enunciated a voice of stern mean ing. "And who's we?" questioned the dea eon. "Harry Syme and Alonzo Smith." "What do you want, said the deacon pluckily, "and what is that you're holdin ag'in my hood?" "A revolver and we want your daugh ters!" "Hold on, hold on, my young friends!" add the deacon. "Is this fairV" "Why, no; it isn't," said Harry Syme, "and that's just what we have thought all along." "It's exceedingly unfair, said Alonzo, to refuse us a chance because we aren't rich." "How come ye here?" persisted the dea eon. "By the hand of destiny." "Yes, or no? Time is precious. Will you give us your daughters, or shall we shoot?" "Don't shoot anyway!" cried the dee con. "Let'3 talk it over." Tho time for talking has passed. Yes or no?" The deacon hesitated. "But look here" "Yes or no?" sternly demanded the voices. "Weil, then, don't squeeze my throat SO." The grip on his throat relaxed some what, but the muzzle of the weapon never stirred, and the deacon cried: x"os!" For what else could a man say under the circumstances? What was tho surprise and astonishment of Kate, Dora and Mrs. Polberry when the deacon presently appeared, flanked on ei ther side by Harry, the invincible, and Alonzo, the brave. "He has consented, "cried Harry, squeez ing the hand of his future father-in-law. "He has acted like a trump!" said Alon o. "I knew he wouldn't refuse to listec to reason. "Papa," cried Kate, precipitating her- eelf upon her sire, "is this true?" "Dearest papa," chimed in Dora, "have you really consented to make us happy?" Don 'tuiake fools of yourselves!" said the deacon. "Of course I have." "I'm sure I'm very glad of it," said Mrs. Polberry, with a sigh of relief, as she reached down some tumblers for the cider. "But," said the deacon, looking in a one sided and apprehensive manner, first at the young gentleman on his left and then on his right, "where is it?" "Where is what?" "The the revolver." "Oh," said Alonzo, "that was nothing but the old broken iron we found on the garret floor." The deacon groaned. "Don't distress) yourself," said Alonzo in an undertone. "We shall never men tion the matter, you may depend, as long as you keep faith with us. Deacon Polberry's pretty daughters are both married, but although the deacon has no open quarrel with his sons-in-law he does not court their society much. But, after all, why should he?

Will, professor of political economy at the state agricultural college, lectured before the Municipal league last night on "Problem of the City." Prof. Will knew what he was talking about and his lecture should have been heard by more of the representative people of Topeka. lie is a small man with a pleasant intelligent face and wears a full beard carefully trimmed in the English style. While he makes bo attempt at oratory his language is forci ble, his points clear and his logic fault leas. The lecturer compared the modern city to the cities of centuries ago rather un favorably to the modern city. "The problem of the city," said he, "ia the problem of civilization. The great question now confronting the people of tne cities is how to avoid the frightful poverty; how to get rid of the hideous ness of the slums with all their terrible results; how to present a clean bill of health. "Different men assign different causes for these conditions. Some say it is due to rapid growth; yet, still we see the same or worse conditions exist in the cit ies of the old world. Others attribute it to immigration, and all our trouble is laid at the door of the foreigner. "I think that ono of the prime causes of the trouble is our ignorance. This statement may startle a people who have always considered themselves very wise, but they are wise in some things and ignorant in others. They do not have a proper appreciation for our civilization. You cannot live among savages and re main civilized yourself; you can't stay in the slums and remain as you now are. The people are too selfish. They do not understand how .they are concerned in the welfare of the citizen who may live in another part of the citv. Thev do not understand that each individ ual in the city bears the same relation to the corporation as the linger does to the Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair. if Wii s03 i f MOST PERFECT MADE.

"How many of the hard headed busi ness men who are noted for their saga city, understand that the distribution of wealth makes any difference to them. If you told them it did, they would not be lieve you. "Now we will say a man has 1.000,000 a year income, and there are 1,000,000 other men who make barely enough to live on. Will the man with the $1,000,000 income consume that amount? Will he buy more corn, or more wheat? It is evident that he will buy only what he needs, and then quit. But how about the other 1,000,000 man? They will buy what they can and then stop, and the business man suffers in conse quence: and yet the people cannot under stand how the concentration of wealth can injure trade. If a million men have no money to buy with, the millionaire merchant has nobody to sell to. "The business man is very busy. He must attend to his business and he has no time to vote, no time to go to the prima ries. The result is that quite another class of men make polities their business and the city passes into the control of the politicians and we have the Crokera, the Tweeda, the Boss Platts. The people must get beyond themselves, they must take an interest in something else than mere business and then the problem of the city may be solved." A vote of thanks was tendered Prof Will for his address. The next meeting will be held July 3, but the programme has not yet been arranged. SOUTH TOPEKA.
