Iff My m M PRICE 2 CESTS. SATURDAY. TOPEKA, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 28, 1895. SATURDAY. PRIC3 2' CEHTix MURDERLURKED In the Heart of Scavenger M. E. Lowe. He Strikes Youns Geo. W. Eeed an Awful Blow. IT HAY EXD 11IS LIFE. The Young Man Who Is a Son of Col. Eeed Is Now Lying at the Point of Death. UIS SKULL FRACTURED A Dispute Over the Sale of a Tent Results In Scavenger Lowe's Murderous Work. George W. Reed, Jr., aged 24, son of CoL Geo. W. Reed, the victim of a mur derous assault committed by ex-City Scavenger Marcus E. Lowe, at the fair grounds, between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon, lies in a critical condition at the home of his parents, CoL and Mrs. Geo. W. Reed, at 1133 Harrison street. Lowe, the ex-city scavenger, who has a countenance like the villain in a French play, struck young Reed oa the back of the head with a heavy wagon neck yoke and the physicians who have already held several consultations over the case say the indications are that the skull is fractured. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon young Repd and Harry Alexander went to the fair grounds 8ee a man by the name of nickels who stays there and from whom Reed had recently purchased a tent. They had some difficulty about a set tlement and Lowe who was present in terested himseif in the discussion. Reed resented Lowe's interference; some hot words passed between them; what was said cannot be learned as Reed has been unconscious most of the time since he was hurt. Reed regained consciousness last night for a short time und uit.de a partial state ment of the affair to Chief of Police "Wilkerson but perhaps the most reliable 6tory of the murderous affair was that related to a State Journal, reporter to day by Harry Alexander. Mr. Alexander said: "It was about 4 o'elock that George Reed and I started to the fair grounds, where Reed wanted to see a man by the name of Rickels about a teut George bad purchased, but which had not been delivered. Rickels is the man who started the Olympic park and is nosv getting ready to go out on the road with a lish show, and this man Lowe is to be his teamster and haul his show. We drove up in front of the secreta ry's office snd George went into exposi tion hall, where Rickels was. I could not see them, but I could hear them. I did not hear all that was said, but I know that there was a misunderstanding and dispute between George and Rick els over the tent. "Lowe was on the outside when we drove up and when George went inside Lowe came up to my buggy and made several threats against George. He abused him as bad as it is possible for one man to abuse another, and among other things said: 'If ever he says any thing to me I'll brain him.' "After George had been Inside about fifteen minutes, Rickels called Lowe in side. Lowe went in and came out again and whs cussing George when he came out. The way I understood the affair was Lowe bad taken the tent George had bought down town and sold it. 'After Lowe had been outside a little- while he went back in the building the second time and I heard him talking with the rest. I heard George say he didn't want anything to do with Lowe. Then I heard Lowe cussing and then heard George say, You are a liar.' "The next thing I heard was a terrific blow, and Lowe rushed out of the hail and pulled a big revolver from his pocket. "I had been sitting in my buggy, but I immediately went inside and found George getting up. He was notknocked clear to the ground. "When George called Lowe a liar, Lowe picked up a big heavy neck-yoke and struck him a terrible blow ou the left and back side of the head, just about at the base of the ekulL" "You didn't see Lowe hit him then?" "No, but 1 heard the blow. I did not think George was hurt very bad, but he would not go out of the building until I went out aud begged Lowe to go away. Then I got George in my buggy and took him home. He did not tuink he was very badly hurt as when he got out of the buggy be said, "I'll go in aud rest awhile and I will come down and see you tonight, Harry." Soon after young Reed reached home he was taken with severe hemorrhages and became unconscious. Doctors J. JB. Hibben and L. H. Munn were called and held a consultation and decided that the indications were that the skull had been fractured. Reed was unconscious almost all night end suffered several severe hemorrhages. '1 he attending physicians held a con sultation this morning at 8 o'clock, and will hold another at 4 o'clock this after boon. While it is possible that the young man may get well, his friends are very doubt ful about the result of his injuries. Lowe was arrested late last night at his home and was locked up in the coun ty jail. This morning ke was taken, before Justice Guy, where a complaint had been filed charging him with murderous as sault Justice Guy fixed Low's bond at $1,000, and told hitn that none but first class bondsmen would be accepted. The preliminary hearing was continued until Monday morning. If Reed should die, the charge against Lowe will be changed to that of murder. The complaint al ready filed was sworn to by Will T. Reed, a younger brother. George W. Reed, sr.,' was at Fort Worth, Texas, but he has been tele graphed for and is expected to reach To peka tomorrow morning. Lowe was seen by a State Journal reporter at the connty jail today but ha refused to m ike a statement of his side of the case. He said: T dou't want to have noth ing at ail toaay'to any reporters. There was a Capital reporter down here last night and he went away and lied about me awfully. I told him the truth about it and then he went away and printad a pack of lies." The Journal reporter said ha would willingly print Lowe's statement of the case but the ex-scavenger .replied: ''No, I won't tell you nothing. If any body asks you about it, tell 'em you. doa't know," TO ENLARGE MONDAY. Unless there be some unforeseen de lay, the State Journal on Monda; will enlarge one column to each page, eight columns in alL Each page will then have seven columns, instead of six as at present. The rebuilding of the Journal's fast press, which has been going on for the past month, has been completed, and everything seems to be in readiness for' the change on Monday. It may take several days to complete all the delicate adjustments to print the paper in a manner satisfactory to our selves and the readers. The necessity of the increased size will be apparent when it is stated that on many days the Journal has been obliged to leave out several columns of both news and advertisements. Three columns of advertisements were crowded out yesterday and as many columns of reading matter. X. PAC. RECEIVERS. E. W. McHenry find F. O. Bigelnw Ap pointed by Judge Jenkins. Milwaukee, Sept. 28. Edward W. McHenry, of St. Paul, chief engineer of the Northern Pacific railway, and Frank G. Bigelow, backer of this city,were ap pointed receivers of the Northern Pacific road by Judge Jenkins this morning. fa making the appointments, Judge Jenkins disregarded the wishes of the trustee and the different bondholders. He said that the history of receiverships demonstrated the inadvisability of ap pointing receivers who were connected with contending factions. Receivers were officers of the courts and not the agents of the parties inter ested in the property, and for this season they should have but one single object to subserve the interests of the property entrusted to them and should hold no allegiance than to the court.

I simply Lave nothing to sy." Washington, Sept. 28.

Three years ago the county commission ers designated my establishment as the official county morgue, where all bodies who died as did Airs. Ent shouid be ta ken.

I propose to sue him for malicious slander for that reinarii." IT'S A FELONY HERE. Gov.

HURRYJJPSPAin. United States May Take a Hand in Cuban Matters. Spain Must Put Down Insur rection Very Soon. CUBA MAY BE FKEE. If Spain Can't Conquer U. S. May Interfere for Cuba. Secretary Olney Has Intimated This it is Said. Chicago, Sept. 28. A special to the Times Herald from Washington says: Spain must crush the Cuban rebellion during the next three months or submit to international interference in the inter est of humanity and commerce. This is the significance of a series of conferences held between Olney and the Spanish minister Seuor Dupuy da Lome. The United States has agreed for the present to keep hands off but this is ac companied by a tacit warning that un less Spain carries out her promise of suppressing the insurrection and restor ing order to Cuba within reasonable time she must expect the United States gov ernment to pursue a quite different poli cy. In other words, Spain is to be given one chance to demonstrate her ability to rule the island and failing in this, the chances are the United States govern ment will take the leadership in interna tional intervention, with the complete autonomy or perhaps the independence of Cuba as the objective point. The conferences were held at the re quest of Secretary Olney who asked benor Dupuy de Lome for a full state ment of the condition of affairs in Cuba, the intentions of the Spanish govern ment, its ability to protect American citizens and their property, and the prospect of suppressing the insurrection.

"The Spanish war vessel followed in pursuit until she was within a mile of the Alene, when she reversed her courso, put on full steam and, as if disdaining to give any explanation, sailed swiftly away.

A Plan to Make Its Kntranee by Vessels Easier. Chicago, Sept. 28. The trustees of the sanitary district, who have returned from the waterways convention at Cleve land, express great satisfaction at the attitude of the eonveatioa ia regard to the drainage question. Mr. Eckhart, who returned last night, said he was agreeably surprised at the temper of the convention. After a free discussion of the question in the light of the facts Mr. Eckhart said the delegates were almost a unit in not desiring to throw any obstacles in the way of the Chicago enterprise. "The resolutions are'general in terms," said Mr. Eckhart, "and refer particularly to the necessity of international regula tion of lake levels. There is no objectlonjin fact we are in harmony with the move ment to establish a system of dams at the outlets of Lakes Erie and Superior so as to overcome the fluctuations from natural and artificial causes ia the department of water in ship channels through the lakes. The resolution which struck at our drain age canal was overwhelmingly defeated." ENGLISH MAD ABOUT IT. Say Mean Things Becanse Marlborough Will Marry an Amsrlaan. London, Sept 28. Many protests more or less serious are appearing in the newspapers of London on the depletion of the ranks of eligible noblemen by marriage with American women. In connection with the Marlborough-Van- derbilt engagement, Truth prints an amusing letter signed "Dowager-Duchess," in which the writer says she has converted her home into a judicious com bination: Music hall, burlesque stage, gambling rooms and club house, and had her daughters instructed in the most se ductive steps and highest kick. They have been, she says, encouraged to sing the broadest songs, and no re straint however has been attempted on their conversation. They have dined at all the fashionable restaurants, and sat almost beside the most notorious women of the town, yet eligible men persist in marrying either actresses or Americans. lruth says that men like good women and they like bad women, but few, ex cept fools, like a combination of the two characters; besides, with the pace set here for wealth above every other con sideration, there ia no wonder that the men of today have no greater ambition than to attain it The Daily News say3 that the engage ment of the duke of Marlborough and the millionaire Miss Vanderbilt gives support to the theory that the princi ple of equality is doomed in America. MARRIED MEN NOT IN IT. Can't Play Base lta'.l With the Robust Un married Athletes. The married-men of the United States pension office were evidently not satisfied with their defeat by the single men a few days ago, and accordingly they were given a chance yesterday to wreak ven geance on the yeung fellows. Jimmie Doncvson showed up as back stop for the married men, a peculiar posi tion for Jim to play, as he is generally known to be a single man, and Iracy m the box. The singles' battery were Graham and Crall. McCleary, as manager of the antiquaries, remarked, after reaching the grounds. 'I his is our day" and enthusiasm among the nine ran high but they were doomed to disappointment. After a game of seven innings had been played the score showed runs: Single 21, Mar ried Men 1. The cause for such an overwhelming defeat was due principally to the pitch ing of Graham, only one hit being made on him during the entire game, and he striking out nine men and to the heavy batting of the singles. Crall caught an errorless game, and Oswald played first to perfection. The married men played hard to win but we're forced to bow to the inevitable, which they did with a good grace, ad mitting their inability to play ball with the younger men. NAPOLEON THRONE CHAIR.

STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1895. TO STOPTHE DANCE. Kiowa Indians Bound to Have Their Medicine Dance. Troops Asked For to Prevent Them Havinjr It. IT IS DEMORALIZING. Upsets a Whole Year of Civil izing Work of Teachers. Wichita, Kan., Sept. 28. A tele gram received her from El Reno, Ok., states that Captain Baldwin of the Anadarko Indian agency had asked the war department for troop to pre Tent the Indian medicine dances billed to take place at hi- agency the first of nest week, and that the secretary of war has ordered the commandant at Fort Sill to supply all the troops t ap tain Baldwin wants. Captain Baldwin occupies (lie same attituue towarustho proponed dance that Governor Culber bori occupies wi h reference to the tor-be.t-r iizb.mmons fig In. When the Kiowas gave out that tney were going to dance Captain Baldwin obj-cted, and the result was defiance by the Kiowas. Captain Baldwin did not think that the Indiaus would disobey h m till witiun the last few days, when hundreds of them began to cone n trate near the agency with their paint and feathers, lie again told them thit they could not dance, and ngam the Indians insdstrd that they would. This is what caused him to ask for troops. It is the policy of the agency to wip out the savage customs of the In d aus, and especially the medicine, war and ghost ila;;cei. It seems that ail the progress during the year among the Indians is lost during thee dances, and the officers c aim that ef forts at. civilization are in vain s long as the Indians are allowed to revive their sava?e customs annually. An other objection is the deplorable im morality that prev.iils anion Cha young Indians during thess festivi ties. The dances are vervr demoral izing, especially among the Ki wai, an i they turn the entire year's efforts Of the schools and missionaries upside-down in a few days. Captain Baldwin knows this and d..es not want them to co it nue. It is said that the Ind ans are working up a war feel ing, but Captain Ba dwin will be ready for tnem with plenty of troop i n the seen 3 and a good reserve at Fort Renj that can reach Anadarko In tweniy-iour hours. INCALLS TO SOLDIERS. The Ex-Senator Speaks on the Issue of the Day at Sallna. Salina, Kan., Sept. 28. Sohn J. In gal Is addressed the G. A. It. reunion here yesterday. lie said he depreca ed the idea which had been advanced t .at there should be n politcs at Grand Army reunions, but protested against bringing questions of con Be. ence and religion to the ballot box. "1 have heard," it-aid he, "that there were political freaks in the last con gress who would have ornamented the walls of a dime museum.

Ha referred to the pre eut method of choosing United States sena tors as obole'e, antiquated, clumsy and unnecessary, and declared in favor of caoosing them by a direct vote of the people, and also in favor of abolishing the electoral col.ege, and electing president and vice presi dent in the same manner. He de- nou need the present immigration laws, which a'lovv the convict o? Europe t come into this country and breed anarchy and discontent, and said before a foreigner is allowed to embark for America, he should have credentials from a proper officer, stat ing that he is not a criminal and is suitable to become a citizen of the United States. He referred to the rio's in Chicago a year ago, declaring it was the foreigners from the slums who made'the trouble, while an officer in a federal court two blocks away was makiug United Spates voters, of them at the rate of one every five min utes. "What is the use." he asked, "of having a trade on manufactured goods and free trade in men?" In regard to the financial question, Mr. Ingdlls de clared unequivocally for bimetallism. 'I voted for the Sherman art when it tvbs passpd, and had 1 been in the sen ate in 1893. I would not have vi ted for its repeal, unless I had received some satisfactory equivalent. J am a bimet allist, pure and simple, without sub stitute or equivocation. I l-now that every silver dollar is as good as any gold dollar, and report as caluminous any charge that I am not in favor of sound miney. There are some men in Kansas who are denouncing bitnetall ists. who, if they said a year a?o what they are keying to-day, would not be where they are now And I further believe that all this talk about international agreements is simply a device of those opposed to bimetall ism." In closinsr, he made an appeal for a revival of Americanism, and sid all these questions would be settled, not by destruction and overthrow, but by the exercise of political and civil duties by every citizen.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW. A General Advance in Price Is Noted Daring the Werk. New York, Sept. 28. R. O. Dnn Cos's Weekly Review of Trade says: The speculation in cotton has lifted the prce five-eighth.3 during the past week and quotations here are some higher than at Liverpool. There is atill some chance of a strike in fall River in lis., though the rise in prices will make it easier for the mills to grant some advance in wages. It seems no longer po.isiole to hope for a good crop, and Is" c-ill Brothers have issued a circular predicting a yield of oaly 7,0J0,ut)J bales. Tne wheat market has been excited, without much discoverable reason, and the price has advanced over 5 cents for spot and a for De --ember deliv eries. It may be sail that crop pros pects abroad are not qune as favor able as tney were a month ago, and with a short supply at beat in this country the mantel Is liable to be unusually short. lioideis of corn have judiciously de clined to "sympathize" with wheat to a great extent and the price is prac- tically unchanged. Pork and hog pro ducts are all somewhat lower. jNuth iug is clear about the iron and steel manufacture,' but Sume of the largest .P.ttsburg concerns, professing to iiave orders fur many u-onibs ancad, are bidding lor small contracts in Lantern markets at 81 and pec ton less than the quoted rate. 'I here is also a halt in tne advance of leather, no higher prices having been recorded this wtelt, though hides are on the whole a snade stronger. The advance in wool at London sales stimulated the speculation, but prices are on trie whole unchanged and sules have been for the mon U 3 H75,t7J pounds, of wtaich lU,5i;6,370 were for eign, against 3i;o2 1,000 for the same weeks of lsy2, of which 9,523, aUJ were foreign. Failures lor tlia week hare been "16 in the United Slates, against 235 last year and 60 iu Canada against 65 last year. Bradstreet's Stock Review says: The decline in exchange rates to fig ures which appaieotly put an end to gold shipments to L ndon direct has had a favorable effect on snecaiativo sentiment. The unexpected engage ment of S-', 500. ('00 gold for shipment to Germany by the principal 'amateur" specie importer couki not overcome tne impress on created by this tc-ndenry. Canadian bankers have taken 8050,030 in gold for trans fer to that country. All of th s was offset by the tangible weakness that has reigned in the exchange mir kt in consequence of the appea'an e of liberal supplies of commercial bills and the offering of a large quantity of bankers' sixty dav sterling, in connec tion with loans of foreign merct an's. The formal dissolution of the Belmont Morgan bond syndicate is also favora bly regarded. While these events account for the assertion of an under lving tone of bullishness in specula tion, the market is till narrow. Pub lie participation develops slowly and London has not been a factor.

STILL HOPE TO FIGHT. Can Stuart Is Confident That the Fish 6 Will Mot Be Stopped. Dallas, Texas, Sept 28. While the governor's cj11 for a special session of the legislature requesting the body to pass a law prohibiting prize fights was not entirely a surprise, yet it had the effect of starting afresh public Ui-cus-sioos. The governor's supporters were jabilant, and repaid a law to take immediate effect as a certainly. The opposition maintain that the required two-thirds of the members of the legislature will not be secured lor an immediate act, and do not doubt that a law will be passed to take effect in ninety day. While tak ing this view, the opposition are won dering what the governor will do-next, if a law to take immediate effect is not passed, Pres dent Stuart of the Florida Ath letic club maintains his usual business attitude and rets, as he has always done, on the legal advice of his attor neys, that he is proceeding under the law.

Haystacks Are Consumed and Livestock Endangered. Kiowa, Kan., Sept. 28. A terrible prairie fire is raging in the western portion of the Cherokee strip and sweeping everything before it in its restless progress. A hih wind is blowing and the roar of the leap'ng flames tan be heard for miles. The set ne is appalling in the extreme, as the fiery billows whirl along devour ing everything in their path. The fire started south of this place and it was hoped that when the track of the fcouthtrn Kansas railroad was reached it would check its course, but the names leaped over the track like a whirlwind and are bow tearing al mg with nothing for loO miles to stop them. A number of farmers' houses have been burned, besides innumera ble haystacks. Three huu-es near Alva also burned with all their con tents. There are a number of ranches in the path of the fire stocked with hundreds of cattle and the loss is bound to be enormous unless the pro gress of the tire can be stayed, which now looks impossible.

Messages have to be sent oa wires strung or poles over the top of the mountain, fully nine miles, and that is the way ingoing and outcoming pas senger and freight trains are heralded to the keepers of the two tunnel ap proaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line a swath of woodland has to be clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep mountain side.- There are supposed to be mag netic ores inside the mountain.

Work WTas Snspended in Many Large Factories. Flannels Supersede Tall Hats and Frock Coats. London, Sept, 28.-r-The extraordinary hot weather has eclipsed all other topics in England thi3 week. On Tuesday the thermometer indicated eighty-six degrees in the shade in London and 135 in the sun. The record is twenty degrees above the September aveiage, and four degrees higher than on any previous day of this summer. The weather since Tuesday has shown little improvement, the mer cury on each day rising to eighty-four degrees or higher. There have been numerous cases of sun stroke during 'the week and several fatalities have resulted in various parts of the country. At Newmarket, where the first October race meeting opened on Tuesday, the heat has been terrible, 90 degrees in the shade having been re corded. This has had a disastrous effect upon the horses and has greatly affected the attendance at the races. Only a handful of people witnessed the big race of the meeting on Tuesday, the Jockey Club Stakes, in which last year's and this year's Derby. winners ran. The majority of men on the grounds followed the ex ample whicH was set by Lord Rosebery and wore white flannels and carried white umbrellas. Throughout the country the suffering from heat has been extreme. In many large factories it wa3 found necessary to suspead work. In London there has been a general abandonment of frock coats and tall hats, and straw hats and suits of the thinnest material have been adopted in their stead. iSlarstiali'ai Band.

Room 5, Columbian Huitditi'g, Wheat It was a continuation of yes terday's bull market at the tap of the bell traders were jostling each other In an effort to buy wheat. As the bullish sentiment had grown stronger each day in regard to higher prices for wheat, we firmly believe that this is only the com mencement of a bull campaign which will make that of last spring pale in utter insignificance. We have been advising our friends and the trade in general for the last three weeks, stnee wheat touched 57c, to buy it, and that a 2 cents margin would hold it against any decline that was likely to occur below this point. In that we were miataken, because Jc would have proven ample, aud those who acted on our advice and judgment, and they were many, now find "themselves possessors of cheap wheat, or handsome prefits awaiting their disposition to take them. At thi3 point we ndvisa caution as we think the market is liable to have a slight setback, but on all declines of 2 cents or more we again advise purchases. Wheat is bound to work.at least 10 cents higher within a very short time, but there will be natural reactions, and the shrewd trader will wait for them instead of buying on a bulge. Corn and oats There is nothing of importance to say in regard to corn. The big crop has been discounted and it would be very foolish to sell corn short at these prices. The market was strong today, in sympathy with wheat, and is liable to catch the fever and advance rapidly. Oats were quiet and featureless, with a strong uo-. dertone, and the close shows good gains in all options. Provisions There was some heavy realizing in pork today and in conse-, quence the prices suffered slightly. All offriDg3 were absorbed by good people, and now that timid holders hav let go, there is a good advance due. opea. iiigu iMir. Uiujs.

This Is the greatest showing the Stat .Totrc. Sal has ever been able to make for a period of any six months In its history. This is a greater Cfciire than was reached by ny daily paper In Topeka for the year 1894. The American Newspaper Directory, Issued In June. 1833. and covering the year 1804, gives the average daily circn ation of .'ae Topeka Daily Capl.al for the year 18M, as only 8.7t4. These figures were furnithed by the publishers of the Capita!, to the Directory, and are guaranteed to be correct by a forfeit of J100. which will be paid to any one disproving their correctness.

The question has been settled for a ioag time iu the minds of the people of the west. It is announced that immediately upon his retirement from active service General Scuofield will go on a fishing expedition. Dues this mean that the general is going into training for the presidency? It is reported on guod authority that there are twenty saloons running in Sa line, The attention of Attorney General Dawes should be called to this matter. It is probable that he would at least fire an opinion at the Salina people. Congbessman Tkeloab says if the tariff question is rightly adjusted, the money question w.ll adjust itself. It might with more truth and reason be said if the money question is rightly ad Justed there will be no necessity for meddling with the tariff, If gold were being carried oat of Eng land to the extent that it is out of the United States, she would probably put an export duty on it that would keep it at home. England has a faculty of not only managing her own affairs to suit herself, but those cf other people, too, when the other people are willing to permit it If Topeka had given a corn carnival there would have been nothing but sneers about it in the Atchison papers. Atchison's carnival received columus of complimentary notices in the Topeka papers. Topeka can always afford to be generous, and so can Atchison, The St. Louis Republic has done for Texas what Mr. Shillinglaw attempted to have done for Kansas. It sent a qorps of correspondents into the Lone Star state who spent six weeks traveling over its vast territory and gave it an illustrat ed write-up which will be worth many thousand dollars to the state. Eleven pages of the paper are devoted to the article. Mast people wonder why Topeka does nut have successful fairs, race meet ings, corn carnivals and karnival krewes. It is because Topek has few of the tjlass of people who usually couiribu. mo?t largely to the funds necessary for uch tb.D?s; that is, what are called "sporting" people, gamblers and saloon keepers. These classes make money easLy when they make it and spend it freely when they have it, and are always in fur a hurrah time. So sooner does a criminal get in the penitentiary than, if he has any friends they begin to lay plans fur getting him out. The jusace of the sentence doesn't seem to make any difference. The friends of James Nutr, who killed a man in Pennsylvania and tried to kill a man and a woman in Atchison county, are trying to have him sat free or have his term of tif.een years reduced. They will allege tli.it the sentence is too severe because his later victims d.d not die. It was not his fault that they did not die. lie did his bsa to kill them. That kind of a man should remain shut up as a mat ter of precaution if not as a puaishment, lie is an unsafe man to be at large, What are laws and prisons for, if nut for the protection of the lives and property of the people? Or shall we ackaowl eJge to the world that these things are designed for purposes of punishment and revenge? Gexeral IIaruison's idea of a "busi ness administration" does not seem to agree entirely with that entertained by Governor Morrill. The general says: 'The idea, that a mayor or chief of police is at liberty to permit any law or ordiuance to be violated is monstrous. We choose executive oilicers to en fores laws and uo; to repeal or suspend them at their pleasure there oath is so. It is subversive of our system and des ructive of our suci il order and of tne peace of our communities to allow our executive oilicers to cuoose what laws they will en force. It is not all a question whether I lise the law or wneiner the officer likes the law. Wuat sort of a coud.tion of so ciety would we have if no man obeyed the law and uo officer enforced it uuless he liked it." For the second time since the begin ning of Mr. Cleveland's administration the treasury shows receipts for the mont h in excess of the expenditures. It is not certain even now that the result is not bruugbl about by juggling with the figures as the statement is qualified by the suggestion that there will probably be a large deficiency next month. A favorite scheme of the treasury officials has been to hold over disbursements that should be in a J a in one month, until the next. Goversob Cci.BERStiN is showing a determination in the matter of prevent ing the priz-j fi'ht at Dallas which is worthy of success, however expensive it may prove to the people. It wi.l at least empha za the importance of electing legislatures whicn will do things right at first aud not frame laws so loosely as to render ex'ra sessious necessary for the parpnse of patching up what has been but half don p. The Globe-Democrat calls the atten tion of its readers to the fact that n is not necessary for a representative in con gress to be a resident of the district which he represents, but only of the state in which the district is located. In the case of United States senators it seems that it isn't even necessary for the offic ial to be a resident of the state which he represents. Brice furnishes a notable example.

The Conviction of Pools the Chicken Thief EARNESTLY SCC3HT BY PROSECUTION Af erTwo Iny W ork the Cue Went xo the Jury To'.lsy. The conclusion of the A. P.- Poole bur glary case in the district court today baa ended the hardest fought aud beat tried case of the term. It had beeri a peculiar c.ise, from ihe f ict that the defendant on trial was liable to a penitentiary sentence for s ealing fif'y cuuia worth of corn, b causB in getting it he lifted a latch, or ra her turned a button, and opened a door. There was a larger attendance of law yers and spectators at court yesterday afternoon than at any time during tin) t lal. Poole has gained so much notoriety through his repeated arrests for ch.ctten thieving that, abhouzh he was not on Trial for this, the interest taken is the case id largely on account of this. The evidence was finished at 5:33 last evening, occuoyiug two wiiola days. As soon as court convened this morning the lawyers McCabe and Sofford for the statu and AVard and Ensmioger for Poole, niddo their pleas aud the case was giveu to the jury. If there was one man more pleased than the rest wah the adjournment to this morning before the pleas were made it was County Attorney Harry Sail ord. Day. in and day out for two weeks he has been constantly strain ing every faculty. Towards the close of yeserday's nerve rackiug ses sion, afford was so nervous and ex hausted tnat the attorneys for the defense were ringing in all te nds ot "sharp" games, and they were constantly escap ing the county attorney's usually vigilant eye and eir. Twice he was helped out by Judge ITazen on these cccasions. Oae of these times the judge is believed to have Iruien the record. Mr. Ensminger was taking advao'age of the county attorney's 8Miii-couseious condition to introduce hearsay evidence, and every other kind be could lay his hands on. "Here, here, we don't want to hear all this,' exclaimed Judge llazan. "Ouj-'C-tion stjs amed," he continued, notwith standing thai there had beeu no objec tion, whatever, except b' himself. Another time the defense was intro ducing some documents in evidence that had no business there, Mr. SaSord did not ot jjc?, although it was going on un der his very nose. Thev'r introducing thes documents in evidencs" warned the j ide. "1 A jict," said the c juuty attorney. "Ot'j cuon sustained," immediately repl.ed Judge Iiazen. Poole was a very poor witness for him self and it seemed a mistake to put him cn the stand When me counsel for tha state got hold of him on cross-examination .Mr. Saiford asked h im questions that ev.dently made his he id swim, for he bad to take a few moments to regain his equilibrium bjfore answering some of thun. Oje of the mist peculiar things in the trial was the evident invention by the defence of a mythical person on whose shoulders to saddle the crime witn which Poole stood charged. This man was named Allen and was supposed to have worked for Poole at tha time of this lurgiary. Cross examination of Poole in regard to Allen: "Who was this Allen?" I don't know. He cams to my store asking for work and i gve it to htm." "Where was he frotnf "He told me once frou western Kin sas. Later he said ha was from Ktnsas City." "Where did'AUen livA while here?" 4'1 don't know." j "Wnere did he eat?"; "1 don't know." J "Who were his associates?" "I never knew." "Was he a man with, a familvf" "1 don't know." Where did he so when ha left here?" "I have no idsa." "Thea the only thing you know about this m m ii that he worked for you, looked like you, and went awar with thi chicKen wagon and team Fridav, July 12, the day before your arrest?" "That's all." The evidence by the derense tried to show that Allen committed the crime. Poole gave as his reason for running away from the police when thuy cma alter him that he knew John Wilkerson Would immediately put him in jail, on account of enmity toward him, because it was his team and wagon captured in North Topeka. Ha wanted to stay out till Monday to try to find Allen and have him arrested. "Why didn't you go to the police? Thy would have helped you find Ailen." Ao the wouldn't. Dave Burdge might have done it, but John Wilkerson wouldn't," "Why didn't you goto Sheriff Burdge, then?" "Well, r didn't think of it." "As a matter of fact yoa knew you would be 'arrested the moment you showed yotirseif, didn't you?" "Yes, sir." Poole made' this' answer although he claimed to havo bsen down town on Kan sas avenue Beveral hours both in the illuming and afternoon of Saturday, Poole's 'criminal record was handled rouebly. "You were arrested when you were in California and they started to take you to Grand Island, Neb., to answer to a charge of chicken stealing, did they DDI?" "Yes. sir." "You escaped from the Nebraska sher iff before they got you there, didu't you?" "Welt, they were all drunk; who wouldn't have escaped?" "You were arrested four years ago on a complaint sworn out by Mr. Seal in Justice Chesney's court, charging you with stealing chickens." "I was." "You jumped your bond and was re captured in Emporia." "Yes." "Before this trial came off were you not taken to Grand Island by the Ne braska authorities and the charge against you here dismissed?" "Yes." "As a matter of f.ct. you beat that Nebraska case only on account of statute limitations, didn't you?" '-No sir. Tuere wasn't anything Eaid about that." It became more evident yesterday aft ernoon aud this morning that Poole's family was making an impression on the jury in his favor. The oldest of the three little gir.s Is the prettiest and the most sympathetic. She hung upon her father aud sobbed as though her heart was breaking several times during the day, and the persons io the room besides the iury were visibly affected. Newspapers are not permitted to prejudice a jury, but this kind uf unjust "influencing" is allowed in every courc It ought to be stopped. Isn't the object of the court ".o secure a just, impartial and fair trial?" The grief of the pris oner's family has no part and parcel io a "fair" trial. Judge llz?n gave the lawvers until noon to matte their Closing arguments. They consumed the entire time nd the court adjourned at 12 uutil 1:30. Tiie case was then given to the jury alter Judge llazan had instructed it. NOT SAID FOR PUBLICATION. Andrew Burkhard: I ara older than I look and Mr. Oswald is 6i I am 53. Dr. A.

"Children Have Mora Tina for Education Than to Die," ARS A DOCTOR'S WEI3HTY WORDS. Better That One Month of Nehoolins should bn Aliased Than That Any. Daily's Chill should Coma to lla lemth If It is Your Child I The citv schools should ba closed, j Doctors are generally agreed that it is dangerous to tne children of the city to allow the schools to continue. The board of education has not taken any steps to close the schools and no meeting has tieen called. Hundreds uf parents have determined to keep their children away from school next Monday, it is the sale plan. JIavor Fellows this morning detailed Sidewalk Inspector Withers t.) do sani tary work, and he has noiifled W. E Stewart of North Topeka of his appoint ment as sauitary omcer. The mayor says that he appointed Stewart last lhursdav, but he uas not been able to serve because he has been on a jury. No notices of appointment have yet been tiled with the city clerk, but MrWithers went to work this morning. Dr. We8!erfield, who is a member of the board of education, said today: The matter of closing the schools is left with ttie superintendent. If he thinks it is necessary to close the schools he may clooe them. The board of education has taken no action, but the schools will be closed if it is necessarv." Win. Macferran, who is also a mem ber of the board of education, said: "The question of closing the schools has not ueen called to mv attention. If there is any danger the schools should ba closed ut once." Dr. M. B. Ward said: "If the city is go ug to have a strict quarantine of the mfected cases 1 think tue schools Suould be closed, but if the cbildreu with the disease are to be aliowed to run in the yards and on the streets, then there is no use uf closing the schools." Dr. G. A. Wall said: "Of course the schools should be closed right away. The people, do not realize how easily the disease is contracted and there is everv reason why the schools should be closed," Dr. C. II. Guibor, who is considered one of tha best, specialists on throat, dis eases in the west, is very much stirred up about the manner in which the dis ease has been handled, lie said in talk ing about diph'heria: "Diphtheria does not arise de novo but is produced by the reception in or upou some part of the system, of the spe cific germ. These germs live and multiply in sewers, damp cellars in ill ventilated places and places protected f rom the sunlight where refuse gathers.' "It can also be comiuuuicated by ani mals, exposure to the breath of an infect ed individual or a few moments in tne in fected room may produce the disease. The germ adheres tenaciously to object, and weeks after by contact the d.sease may be produced in an otherwise healthy person. "It is not necessary to have membrane or patches on the tonsils to determine that it is a case of diphtheria, laiiy cases are o s!ight as to be some times termed 'walking cases,' an inspection of the throat his not shown any diphther itic membrane, and the child has not been suspected of having diphtheria, but it had infected others who- had violent and grave attacks. Numer ous cases have beeu reported that have died, and yet no one recognized the diphtheria until within a few' hours prior to the death of the child and other children become infected because the disease was not recog-mzed in time. The bacilli remain virulent as late as four eeks afier the disappearance of the membrane fram the throat and may in fect another person. "The presence of the bacilli In the healthy throat has been demonstrated after having been in contact with diph therial cases and they have infected other individuals without having the disease themselves. Escheri ch reports a case wherein a nurse infected a num ber of children tvith diphtheria and an examination revealed the fact that there was no diphtheria in her case and never bad been, but numerous bacilli were in the throat nnd these were the cause of the infections. -The vitality of the bacilli is remark able and this no doubt accounts for the reason tnat we are not able to stamu it out. Bacil.i have been known to live on a child's plaything for five months and dried on a silk thread for 172 days. A girl who examined her mother's clothes two years after the mother aud died with diphtheria had an attack of ibe di-ease. -I consider the disinfectant used insaf-. ficient to destroy the disease germs. The burning of dry sulphur will not kill the germ. In the Naw York infaut asylum it w as shown that the burning of dry MENT sulphur did not destroy the bacilli. Dr. Squibb of Brooklyn demonstratea that it was the want of moisture in the si ir 'hat prevented tne destruction of the bacilli, aud he showed that when water was used with the sulphur sulphurous acid was formed which destroyed the germ. "From my knowledge or this conai- tion, I shall take my children out of school. Realiziug as I do that a single case may infect an entire school, the danger is too great and the schools should be clwsed at once. It is alwaya safe to err on the side of safety. If you err on the other s.da it is too late." Dr. G. W. Hogeboom said: 'I have jusr returned from Chicago and do not Know the diphtheria situation m lopeka, "But if mat young bov that was sent home from the Harrison schools had the diphtheria that school should undoubt edly be closed. "There are some schools on the east side also where the disease is most pre valent that shou.d also be closed. "Diphtheria is a filth disease arising largeiv from the poor sanitary conditions of the neighborhood where it is con tracted. "The sanitary force should at once go into every infected district, flush the sewers, search the cellars, cleanse the back alleys, inspect the wells and drain age and clean up. "loo strict sanitary measures cannot be taken. "Diphtheria is a contagious disease but requires closer contact than scarlet fever or smallpox." Dr. L. Y. Grubbs said: "I consider the diphtheria more danger us than the smallpox to a child, but it requires much closer communion to become contagi ous. "The board of health will meet today and appoint a large number of sanitary police and take effactive steps to strictly quarantine the vicinity of infected houses. "It was an ill-advised movement to cut down the sanitary force in me tlrst stages of the diphtheria trouble. When that was talked of I entered my protest and eaid we should iucrease the sanitary force rather than decrease ir. would seem a hardship to close the schools just now; and 1 am of the opiniou if a strict quarantine prevails it may not be necessary. "If that whs a genuine case of ma lignant diphtheria in the Harrison school that school should be closed." Dr. Rirkpatrick, secretary of the state board of health, s:iid: "It seems to me that the board of education is certainly running a great risk in allowing the city schools to continue in session at tbi- time. "There is no question of a doubt that malignant diphtheria is prevailing in To peka and that a number of deaths has occtirr- d from it. "It seems that it would be the wise thing to close the schools for a time. Children have more time to secure an education than to die. "If I was to choose between a child having diphtheria and smallpox I would take th latier. If a child recovers, ofien its voice or throat is paralyzed." Dr. Ida C. Barnes said: "I think the diphtheria is very serious and there is danger in connection with the schools running, 'Of course it is not for me to say whether the j-chools should be closed or kept going during this prevalency, but no belter method of scattering the dis ease exists. "The children play and get warm and then all drink from the same cups and that spreads it." The trades assembly held a meeting last 'night, and adopted the following resolutions: "Whereas, There is at the present time an epidemic ol contagious diseases in the city: and "Whereas, There seems to be gross negligence on the part of the officials having the health of the city in charge, be it therefore "Resolved, Br the Topeka Trades and Labor assembly that we earnestly re quest the officials of the city to take mimed ate sanitary measures to prevent further spread of the disease." FUMIGATION USELESS. The Kind of Fumijn tun Carrlad On Liltl Good. The absolute worthlessness of the present quarantine regulations and sys tem of fumigation as exemplified by the sanitary force is apparent to all the peo ple in Topeka who go' about with their eyes open. The fumigation process consists of two small Kettles filled with suibhur be ing burned in the house while the doors and windows are closed to keep the f umea inside. The sauitary officers consider their work done when this process is Carried out, and they immediately take down the red card, raising the quarantine, al lowing the members of the quarantined family the freedom of the cuy. Medical Successor to S 1 Clements Chaffee. authorities say that such means wlil not destroy diphtheria germs. The house occupied b the family of Joseph Dubreutt at 204 East Tenth street, where a child died of diehtberia this week, was "fumigated" Thursday evening after the funeraL Friday morning .Mr. Joseph Dubreuil cams to the tate Journal office with a little child in his arms, althuugh he had been for days constantly with his sick child which, had just died of the dread disease. Mr. Dubrevll was innocent enough, perhaps, but if the quarantine regula tions were what they should be, houses where deaths from diphtheria occur would not be thrown open immediately after the funeral; not until it was cer tain other children in the family would not be taken sick. Another instance of the way our city administration's alleged quarantine is enforced, was exhibited at the corner of Liurent and Van Bursa streets, North Topeka, where the family of W. H. Thomas, a Rock IsUnd conductor, was quarantined for diphtheria and where me sick child died yesterday morning. The little five-year-old toy, Charlie Thomas, was taken sick with diphtheria about ten days ago, and the house was placed in quarantine. Yet, on last Mon day, a well known North Topeka stove dealer, with bis son, who was assisting him, were permitted to go into the room where this boy was sick to set up a stove. The stove was no doubt needed in the s'.ck room, but the quarantine officers should have put the stove t:t and not have permitted a business man t- go on the premises and into the sick room, per haps to carry the d -ath germs out on the street and home to his family. The boy died yesterday, members of the family, however, say not of diphther ia. A blood vessel in the boys nose broke a few days atro aud was thought to have healed all right uutil Thursday night when in his sleep he got up and rushed with such force against the head board of the bed that, the blood vessel was broken open afresh, and this is said to luve been the immediate cause of his death. THE HAItttlSON SCHOOL CASE, Th Sick liny Was at School Thursday Morning, Abnt After Noon. Principal Eli G. Foster of HarrisoD school came to the State Jocknal office today and said that Cuarlea Warner, the Harrison school pupil who now has the diphtheria, was nut in school Thursday nfternoon and did not complain of being sick. Although Mr. Foster admits that the boy was in school Thursday morning he says Harrison scnool should nut be in cluded in the schools to be closed as that is the only Case of diphtheria in the Harrison district. By next Fri dav, if the school remains open, there may be a dozen cases, aud then it will be too late to stop contagion. The teachers' salaries would stop in case the schools close, and this is not without its influence. It is said, although not authenticated, that there were ten cases of "sore throat" at Harrison Bchool yesterday. CAKKLESSNKSS REPORTED. Mor Diphtheria Cmi-a When Dam Car Mot Taken. Night Jailer Hopkins savs that there is a case of supposed diphtheria at 185 Kansas avenue, and two children in the family who were able to be around at tended school all this week. The family had called no physician. The city phy sician will investigate the case today. Police .Matron Thorpe found two chil dren in a German family on Elm street sick with diphtheria. The house was open and the people were not able to employ a physician. The father said the boys had "bad colds," but when Mrs Thorpe notified the city physician, he fouud the cases diphtheria, and the house was quarantined. PROTEST FROM LOWMAN HILL. Complaint That 8anlcry Work Titer is Being Nseeted. To the Editor of the State Journal. 'lhe res.dents in the neighborhood of Pine and Spruce streets between Ninth and ientb want to know whether the city sanitary authorities intend to give any attention to the offansive and dan gerous sanitary condition existing there, caused by obstructing the water in a stone sewer, backing and holding it in the open ditch above, the bead of the sewer until it has become stagnant, thus endangering the health of the entire neighborhood. Nearly a month ago the attention of City Physician Mitchell was specially called to existing conditions at this place, and a promise was then given to look after it promptly, taxpayers in this suburb are getting very tired of unfulfilled promises by city officers. We have them in profusion annually just before elec tion only to be forgotten by our "down town" representatives until the next cam paign is on and our votes are wanted. Malignant diphtheria and typhoid fever are now prevalent in many such low undrained places in the city, and yet in the face of this great dauger to the health of our families, and the fact that the city is full of men anxious to get employment, the frivolous excuse is made that ihe forco is not sufficient to reach and drain these dangerous pools any sooner. Perhaps the true reason for not giving work to other needy working men is that it might so reduce the amuuut of work to be done as to interfere with the superior claims of the favorites now employed. If the city will not heed our demand in this case, the residents will be com pelled to drain the pool or move out. We shall therefore expect the proper authorities to look after the matter with out further delay. Lowai.v Hill. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS. Pickaninnies!

'Ihe Topeka Driving Park association is determined to surprise the people with some very good races this fall. There is a row of vacant buildings in the Mulvane- haHe addition from which every uig'ht a door or wiudow is removed. There were four loads of hay left over on the market at Fourth aud Jackson. The farmers get $5 a ton for the best quality. The season when people burn leaves and give their neighbors the benefit of the smoke has arrived. A special ordin ance against this nuisance should be framed. Some time the people may awake to the fact that a man may be especially fitted to do sanitary work who has never studied ward politics. It is said that parrots do not talk much while they are moulting.

Will you please ask yourself the fol lowing queauood: Why does my hair fall out so that my clothes are covered with Dead Hair? W hy is my hair lull of DauduH, ail the time sprinkling my clothes with its white scales? Why is my hair so, harsh Btifl and brittle? What causes this almost intolerant and unbearable itching of my scalp? Why has my hair fallen out on part of my head giving me Baldness? Reader if any of these questions apply and are often asked by you, permit us to answer them fur you, stating that the cause of any and all of the above dis eases of your scalp, is that the hair para site is working' at the hair roots below the surface of the skin, and if yon wish a perm ment and lasting cure and wish to have your bead covered with a natural growth oi fine soft hair, smooth and glos sy, free from Dandruff, and that will not fall out, we can say to you that TUE GERMS IIUSl RESTORER Will do this, as its trade mark signifies that it "NEVES HAS FAILED TO CUES"' Baliness, Falling Out of Hair, Dandruff and all Disease of ths Scalp. li. A. Heath, manager of the Kansas Farmer says editunly in the Farmer of August 14th 1695. German Iiaib Restorer This is a trieu remedy tor the cure ol uaudruil, fall ing out of the hair, and baldness.

W AltEPOIlTEirS DEE AM 'Xom Chattr resolved to make a column of fewkosbury church. So, having secured adiuittaxico, he wondered about among the tombs. ''What wonderful men were these!" thought Tom as he communed with him-' 6clf. "What a pity that they are all dcad: and have been in history so long that noth ing concerning them could now be consid- ered news! There's an old fellow, now,", said Tom, sitting down upon a6tonebench In a convenient nook, and regarding one of these moss grown records of departed greatness, "that would make my fortune If he were living now, and I could send a report of what he had to say for himself to The National Balloon." It was. the tomb of Blthrio, earl ot Gloucester, which Tom regarded as he spoke. It was a quiet place, pleasant, too, on that bright Bummer day, and Tom be gan to feel a little drowsy, though he avers distinctly that he did not sleep. A sigh aroused him at last, and he looked up. An immense being, clad in stone colored armor and leaning on a shield, stood cioso beside him, regarding Bithrio's tomb only the tomb, for the statue was gone. Tom started, 6hlvered, and, rising has tily, made a bow. The figure bowed in re ply. Tom felt thankful that In Its ponder ous politeness it did not topple down upon him. "I I I'm delighted, I'm sure," said Tom. "I I've a little nppointment with a man where I'm putting up. If you'll al iow me to pass, I'll go." But the figure did not stir. It simply turned its stony head toward Tom and rolled forth from the lips under the helmet these words: "I am Bithric, earl of Gloucester." "Good gracious!" said Tom. Then, de spite his terror, the ruling passion reas serted itself, and he began with Bithrio, earl of Gloucester, as he did with other fre quently interviewed worthies. "It must be very gratifying to read the records of your former triumphs, sir," said Tom. "Read My father made soldiers of his sons, not clerks. But If you are a clerk, sir" "Oh, no; I'm not," said Tcm, thinking of dry goods stores and saying to himself (this aloud), "I'm a reporter." The being gazed ou Tom for a moment and then r open tod: i "I am Bithric, earl of Gloucester." This time Tom put it down in short hand. "I was one on whom women always looked kindly," wild tho warrior, crossing his hands upon his sword, "but I had a true honrt. I loved but one among all women. Let the others smile tipon me as they might, only Althea. Alas, she Is changed, even as I am! "You should have seen me When I went upon an embassy to Normandy. My hair fell to my shoulders, my beard fell to my waist. They were of red gold. My shoul ders were a eloth yard frjin tip to tip. I wan wonhv nf Altliens love We tulsrhtod our troth again. I plumed a ring upon her finger and she jave as a tress of her soft hair. 'Forget me not for any Norman dam sel,' sailh she. "Saith I, 'On earth there is no damsel worth looking on when one hath looked on thee.' And I kissed her, and we parted. "A little after and I was among the shaven Nornmus. Aod I had fulfilled my mission and was hospitably entreated by Baldwin, duke of Flanders, and paid my duty to his daughter, the beautiful Ma tilda. "Handsome girl, sir?" asked Tom. "She was fair to look upon. Her eyes were black and her hair, braided with jewels, was black as nighc. She led mo on to woo her by many a womanly wile, but I could not forgot my Saxon Althea. "I seemed io heed her not, so her love waxod hotter. She wept and said none In Normaudy had any of her heart. At last she whispered that if T fain would bo her true knight I might even be so. "I thanked her for her courtesy and kindness, aud for the honor that she would have done lue, but which I must decline. he pointed to the door: 'Go," she said. 'Leave the castle and tho land, 1-ul remember my love is all changed to hate, and I will have revenge.' "I went back to England. I found Althea true. I wooed and won her. But even ore she was my bride news came to me that Matilda was married to Duke Wil liam of Normandy. And I was glad, for no true knight would willingly deem a znaiden lovelorn because of him. "And I d-elt happy with my Althea tintil the rumors of war filled our land. Duko William of Normandy came unto our si i or 38 with his shaven band, like unto so many priests, but fierce In the fight withal, and good men at arms. And I left Althea aud fought for Harold, my king, for a long and weary while. 'Wounded sore, I was made prisoner and cast Into a dungeon in Winchester. One night my duiigcon door opened and thero stood ut it a lady veiled. The thought that It was Alt! o filled my heart, and I crid out. Then she put back her veil. The light of a torch foil on her face. It was Matilda! "She looked at me 6teadily. 'Said I not beware of my vengeance? she hissed. 'It is attained. Upon my knots I have asked a boon of my lord, and he has given it mo. You are my prisoner, not his. I have laid waste all your lands. For your person, it shall lie here in dirt atid dai-k and starve end thirst and ache, land lsy by d..y die by inches. "Wii.ii pai;.- I lifted myself unto my knee.

Lkatkstosth, Kan., Sept. 23. On be ing questioned by a reporter CoL Gil pairics made the following statement about his connection with the Waller case: "A9 regards the story that I went to France as counsel for Waller, I will say there is no truth in it. Waller having been an acquaintance of mine, I inter ested my sell in the matter as much any other person would do, under the eaa circumstances. Acting as a private citizen oniy, I called on the American Minister Eustis, at Trenville, the fashion able watering place. Eustis not having arrived, I saw the secretary of the legation. During my stay in France, 1 spent two weeks in Paris, and was never within 500 miles of Marseilles, where Waller is imprisoned. Of course coming without credentials from the Washington authori ties, 1 could not see the papers in his case, nor did 1 expect to. "The English papers are full of the affair, more attention being- given to the matter there than in the United States. They are glad to see France get into some probable muddle, especially with America on account of the former cordial relations, existing between these two countries." A SO KG HUM KING.
