ner that the police are eagerly awaiting
the announcement of wedding in the
crooked circle. Some time before u
O'clock the night watchman in the build
ing ran across two heaps of old clothes on
one of the upper floors. In each little
heap there was full complement of
garments, from the battered hat, tat
tered coat, vest and trousers to the we'll
worn underclotheS and ancient socks.
Investigation proved that there had
been an exchange, perhaps not fair
one, and robbery. for the owners of
the clothes had dOnned new garments
from the shelves of the company's
store and made good their escape.
Two fine Prince Albert suits were found
to be missing. and in the matter of fur
nishings the thieves had taken the best
the house contained, turning over dozens
of boxes to suit their tastes. Nothing
but two complete outfits appeared to be
missing. and the thieves had appa-
rently left the building as they came
into it, by way of the Skylignt and fire
escape, leaving no clue behind.

the Union Will Be Remembered
on Decoration Day.
Decoration day ceremonies in st.
Paul this year will be as interesting
and commemorative of the nations
dead as in any previous year. While
the programme is not complete yet,
what there is of it is strongly suggest
i've of general observance of the great

has decided upon asking the board of
education to instruct the teachers in
the public schools to observe the day
with appropriate exercises in the fore
noon, patriotic songs, recitations and
music to be features of the celebration.
At an early hour in the morning, the &.
A. R. posts will assemble in the court
square, and march out to the cemetery,
where flowers and flags will be
provided by the committee. Here
the usual proceedings will be
held and the headstones, which are
now stored awaiting the day, will be
planted over the graves of the dead
heroes. Capt, Stees has this matter in
charge, and is preparing to carry it out
in manner fitting the memory of those
whose graves are to be thus marked. In
the afternoon the parade, IN which all
civic and military bodies are invited to
participate, will follow a line of march
prescribed by the marshal of the day,
who has not yet been appointed. The
general exercises will be- held in Oak
land cemetery, and Prof. Colville will
lead the vocal music. No societies will
receive special invitation to participate
pate except the United States army, ma
tional guard, G. A. r., all ex-Union sol
diers and Sons of Veterans. All civic So
cieties are, however, cordially invited

A. dispatch from Washington states
that Gerhard GjertSen, of Minneapolis,
who is prominently mentioned for the
Calcutta eonsulship, had cashed draft
for $125 OH Louis D. Wilkes, of st. Paul,
which the latter had refused to honor,
and that the man who cashed it,
prominent club man of Washington, D.
c., had shown the documents to Secre-
tary Blaine, with the result that Mr.,
Blaine Stated that Mr.. Gjertsen would
not receive the appointment. .'
l.. d. Wilkes was asked last night
what he had to say about the matter.
He replied: ''Mr. Gjertsen did not
draft for $50. l was out of town at the
time, but when returned was Informed
of it. He had sent me no notice of the.
draft, and IN consequence sent it back,
as would do with any man to whom l
owed nothing, and who drew on me
without sending me any notice. The
$50 draft had not been cashed in Wash
ington, or anywhere else, and nothing
was ever paid on it. l believe Mr..
Gjertsen did draw $125 draft on some
one, but OH whom never heard, and
whether it was cashed in Washington
or not do not know. The fact is, he
has been in Washington for some
time, expecting the appointment
from day to day. He would have
had it e'er this. had it not been for Tom
Platt, who is trying to get it for a friend
of his. Hanging around Washington is
an expensive thing. and probably MIR.
Gjertsen got hard up and presumed on
his friendship with some one as he did
on his former employment by me. The
other man, in all probability, refused
to honor the draft for about the same
reason that did, no notice. scarcely
think that Mr.. Blaine would say the.
appointment would not be made, at any
rate until he had made some investiga-.
tions and consulted with Washburn.
The Washington dispatches in yester-
days papers said that Washburn was
then reasonably certain of getting the
ccnsulship for Mr.. Gjertsen, so doubt
if the story of Blaine's refusal to ap-
point is correct. Anyway, the story is
rather mixed up, and it was not the
draft ON me that is referred to-"

DIED IN GREAT AGONY.

While Suffering From Acute
Mania Mrs. Il. l.. Smith Takes
q Dose OF CarbOlic Acid.
7 A particularly sad case of suicide was
reported to Deputy Coroner Gurney yes
terday morning, from 125 Iglehart street,
where Mrs. E. l.. Smith died about 9
o'clock from the effects of q dose of car
bolic acid taken with suicidal intent
about an hour before. She had been q
long sufferer from fits of mental aberra-
ton, and it is believed that the rash act
was the result of an acute attack OF
mama. When her husband, the we'll
known proprietor of the Ryan hotel
cigar and news stand, left her to 60 to
his business she appeared to be in her
usual health, but a short time after
wards she went to her room complain
ing of headache. There she was found
by the servant short time afterwards
in terrible agony. A physician was at
once summoned, but the unfortunate
patient was beyond help. She was
thirty-two years old, a refined lady, and
the mother of three, bright children.
Her home life had always been happy

Old Soldiers Meet at Hays City,
Look Over the q. s. Military Res
ervation,
Are Royalty Entertained by the
Citizens,
And Hold an Elegant Camp Fire

HAYS CRY, KAN, Jan. 16.-This has
been memorable day for Hays City, and
the unbounded hospitality that has been
extended to her visitors will long be
treasured by them as coming from q
people in whose souls the leayen of pa
triotism, hospitality and humanity exists,
and who, should they succeed in securing
the location of the proposed new Soldiers
Home, would merit well the bestowal of
such an honor.
The Grand Army committee, consisting
of ]. Jay Buck, W. A. Gebhart, George
Collins Cook and Adjutant General
Coulter, visited Hays City to-day for the
purpose Of inspecting the Fort Hays
military reservation with view of men,
orializing congress through our legisla-
ture to cede the title of said reservation
to the state of Kansas to be used for q
Soldiers Home on the cottage plan.
The fort is of no practical purpose to
the government. and it is only question
OF a comparatively short time until it will
be vacated. There are now but three
companies of soldiers here.
The G. A. r. committee was met at the
depot by General Vance Post No. 2, G..
A. R., of this city, and after viewing the
grounds of the fort, the committee and
visitors from abroad were rendered a
banquet at the Windsor Hotel, and at 8
O clock, P. Il, after the banquet, grand
camp fire was held in the rink at which
there were five hundred people in at
tendance. Rev. DR.. Killinger made the
address OF welcome. This was responded
to by Adjutant General Coulter.
Commander Olson and Comrade WEIGH,
of Captain Trego Post, were in atten-
dance from Wa-Keeney, and Commander
Burns and Adjutant r. G. Ksssler were
present from Collyer Post. Commander
Olson says the success Of the proceedings
can not be overstated. The citizens of

tending Inequalities to their visitors.

that, by order Of the board on Mon

his job work erecnted at the office Q,
his choice, after notifying the clerk
that he is in need Of stationery. The
other point is that County Attorney
