Owns Up to the Charge.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, January 15.-Jas.
M. Fortner and a woman, claiming to
be his wife, were passengers on the
steamer City of Cairo from st. Louis,
which arrived here last evening. A
local detective, armed, with a tele-
gram from the st. Louis police, await
ed them and took the man in charge.
Fortner is, or was, treasurer of Riley
county, Kas., but left there some time
ago with about $4O,0 600 of the county's
funds. He does not deny his identity
or dispute the charge against him,
and will be escorted back.

A PARALLEL CASE.

A BashtuI Young Bachelor Imita-
ting Samuel Bundy.
The many miseries endured by
Roland Reed, as Samuel Bundy" in
the woman Halter" have almost a
parallel in the case of bashful but
impressionable young bachelor clerk
of one of the large dry goods estab-
lishments of this city. This young
man, only q years of age, would die
if his name were published, so in n
spirit of sympathy, he will remain
unknown. Possessed Of h very high
ly romantic nature he fancies great
many things and has been all over
the world, like Bundy with his we'd
ding trips, in imagination, and even
appeared before crowned heads. He
told his first sweetheart that If she
did not marry him instantly, he
would commit suicide IN 80 days.
That is his commercial limit, we
suppose. He didn't get married,
didn't commit suicide, and soon
transferred his love to young lady
of the new Fourth ward, whose name
shall be Alice. He proposed in a
week, was accepted and everything
went on smoothly until he went up
to Kerrville for a visit during the
holidays, and then forgot his lady
love in San Antonio, and fell head
over ears in love with a bewitching
girl of that city. He again proposed
and was accepted and the young lady
began preparing her trousseau at
once, while he talked of hiring a
residence big enough for himself and
bride and his fathers family. Re-
turning to San Antonio he asked his
lady love Alice to release him and
she did 80, "as she had made up her
mind to study for the stage" All
went smoothly toward the wedding
until few days ago, when another
pretty face crossed his path, and he
proposed to her and was accepted
Realizing what would be the conse-
quences, he became so i'll that he was
in bed whole day, and even now is
at loss how to extricate himself.

A Merry. Merry Play.

Owing to the inclement weather a
small audience greeted Mr.. Roland
Reed, "The Woman Hater," on his
return to San Antonio, last night at
the Grand opera house. There was a
great deal of humor on the stage and
in the audience, and it is safe to say
everybody laughed until they could
laugh no more. The play is Mr.. D.
d. Loyd's four-act comedy, and its
plot is very simple, composed of the
adventures of pronounced old bacho-
Ter and hater of women, who at the
same time engages himself to two
women. All the characters were in
good hands, not one being bad, and
Of course, Mr.. Reed, with his eccen-
trio comedy and really good singing,
topped the heap" The play will be
repeated tonight, and all should see
it, especially=those who have the
"blues."

s., 100000. The firm killed l., 200, 900

Topeka Capital.
Some idea of the business activity
and enterprise of Duluth is furnished
by the statement that one of its cor
porations has contracted for 5000
TONS of steel ship-plates. They are
to be used in the construction at
Duluth of seven great vessels of 30,
900 ton aggregate capacity, all of
which are to be built this year.-Phil-
adelphia Ledger.
One hundred millions of dollars of
English capital have been invested
in various American industrial enter
prjses within the last twelve months;
and the prospect is that in the pres
ent year a much greater amount will
follow. No disturbance of our finan-
cial or commercial system has en-
sued, and it is probable that i'm our
present condition of growth and ac-
tivity we can regard with eqGanimity
the invasion of almost any conceiv-
able quantity of European money
n. Y. Sun.
AS represented by balances in the
hands of bankers, money loaned on
call at the stock exchange last week
as high as IS per cent. and as low as 8.
AS usual when the extremes are so
far apart, very little loaning was done
either at the higher or lower rate.
There was a goo1 deal Of business,
however, above 10 per cent, which
was about the average rate. Prime
commercial paper is quoted at IL to
1-2 per cent, hut the transactions
were small in volume.-N. Y. Journal
of Commerce.
Freight-cars OH the average travel
only two hours a day through the
year. The other twenty-five hours
they are used as warehouses. This
is costly for the railroads; but it is
great convenience for shippers.
Take it all in all, it is the dearest
way of cutting rates ever invented,
and it is responsible for the car
famine of to-day Half as many cars
would do the work if each moved 40
miles day, instead of 20; but this
will never come while railroad man
ayers grant favor to large shippers in
car detentlons which are not given to
small ones.-Philadelphia Press.
A stained-glass window is soon to
be placed in the library of Columbia
college, New York, as a memorial of
Miss Hankey, the first woman gradu-
ate of that institution. The design is
an allegorlcal treatment of her career
as a scholar, cut short by death.
There are three principal figures,
those ot science, an angel and a stu
dent. The apexes of the window are
beautifully finished in arabesque,
and underneath is a suitable inscTip-
ton. The window was designed and
made ut the Royal Bavarian Art es-
tablis hment in Munich, Germany.

THE ORCHARD.
Fruit Notos.

IT seems very nice to tell of having to
prop up the limbs of fruit trees to sup
port the crop, but it is evidence of lack
of knowledge. Such a tree is overloaded,
and is being injured by being permitted
to carry SO much fruit.
The Sweet Bough and the Yellow
Harvest apples are old sorts, but for
regularity of bearing they have but few
equals. That they are esteemed is at
tested by their being found in every col
lection in this part of the country.
Mr.. WILLARD, of Geneva, N. Y, says
that more money is made there from
dwarf pears than from standards, and he
thinks this to be the case wherever the
soil is Of a strong clay loan, as it is
there. If planted so that roots are
emitted from the pear stock they last a
generation.

THE GARDEN.
Horticultural Notes

SEEDS of any hardy flower of which
more plants are desired, are better sown
as soon as ripe. The young plants which
como up will bloom the ncXt year.
WHEN it is observed that trees planted
in the spring have trouble i'll holding
their foliage, mulch them and prunc a
little more, even if it is late in the season.
WHILE trees and plants are growing is
the time to prunc them, to make thick
bushes of them. It forces out the side
branches, giving, perhaps, q half dozen
for every II that was there before.
COMMON ashes from the house are ex-
cellent to use on heavy soils. Many
changes of a beneficial nature have been
made by their use. 1t gives a porosity
which it is hard to get in any other way
CUTTINGS OF. chrysanthcmumsc rooted
in late summer form nice little pot plants
for house decoration in early winter.
Plants which have bccn grown since
spring are often too large for the pur-
pose.
COMMON poppy seeds sown in half wild
places give variety when they grow and
flower. They re-sow themselves when
once introduced. Several lots of En-
glish field poppy seen in situations re-

Our Party Is tho Bost There Is.

Judge j. T. Mills, of Lancaster, Wis,
who was nominated by the Prohibition
lists for District Attorney, has declined
the nomination. In tho first part of his
letter he says:
II do not believe that the cause you
advocate can, under existing circum-
stances, be promoted by separate politi-
cal action"
He closes, however, in these words:
Nevertheless, the ~third-party lobby
list exercises a %salutary influence over
legislative bodies. He %terrorizes the Re-
publicans with the threat of breaking up
their organization, and punches and
prods its members into decent legisla-
ton. In fact, I shall vote for its nom
inees rather than those of either of the
other parties, for there is something
plaintive in their exclamation, 'Morituri
%salutamus,' as they descend into the pit
to be torn to pieces by Republican and
Democratic wild beasts"
