Woman Makes Three Attempts to

About four weeks ago negro
house on Mr. j. w. Turner's place,
on College street, was destroyed by fire
at nighr, Mariah Lewis, the occupant,
barely escaping from the burning build
ing.
1t was known at the time that bic tire

Lewis woman did not know that at was
the intention of the firebug to burn her
with the building.
After the burning of the house on Mr..
Turner's place the woman rented home.

she lived for few days without the

The woman concluded it best to change

Church street.
Tuesday night an attempt was made
10 burn the house in which she lived in
Mrs. Harden's yard. 1t was evidently
the intention of the Would-beincendiary
to burn the woman also, as kerr sene was
poured in great quantity on both the
door and window of the house, which
would prevent her escape when the torch
was applied. Luckily for the inmate of
the house, MI Tom Harden heard a
noise in the yard, and upon going out
and making an Investigation discovered
what had been done. In fact, he caught
the guilty party aim 1st in the act of put

son in the yard and inquired her
business there. She replied that her
husband was in the house with the Lewis.
woman and that she wanted him. Mr..
Harden drove her from his premises,
and as he was returning to his room
detected the odor OF kerosine, and found
it on the door and window of the negro
house. Stocking foot prints were also
discovered about the yasd. These Mr..
Harden followed, and they led him di-

1t seems that Marian Lewis has

The Discharged Postal Carriers.

KANSAS CITY, KAN, June 23.-Mr. Bum,
of the civil service commission, during his
visit here will collect all the information he
can relative to the trouble that has arisen
over the dismissal of the carriers and new
men appointed, and embody all the informa-
ton in his report to the civil service COM
mission. The commission will then formu-
late report on the matter and submit it,
with the evidence collected, to the postofice
department for action. In this way all the
grievances of the carriers will finally reach
the postoffice department and will possess
the added force of the approval of the CON-
mission.
To this end Mr.. Bum invited all of the
discharged carriers to call upon him at his
hotel Mr.. Bum did not express any opin-
ion as to what would be the probable ruling
of the department in the matter.
The protest to be filed by the discharged
carriers is being prepared by the attorney
employed, and will be placed in Mr.. Bunn's
hands prior to his leaving the city. 1t will
contain a denial of the charges preferred
against them, as shown by the letters they
have received, and will be accompanied by
mass of evidence in which there will be some
copies of public record here and some afida-
Wits that they claim will cause sensation.
1t is claimed that one of the new men had
for some months been bartender in noto-
rious joint on the avenue, and that another
appointed was for some months manager of
a gambling house in the city.

Cyclone in the Kansas Bottom.

Wednesday evening June q people in
Topeka who had view of the eastern sky
recognized the fact that terrible storm was
in progress. Most of them estimated that
the center of the storm was as far east as on
line from Lawrence to Leavenworth; but
it proved to be somewhat nearer Topeka.
Williamstown a small village of Jefferson
county, on the Union Pacific railway, and
in the Kaw bottoms, about 20 miles east of
Topeka received the full force of the storm
which travelled southeast, at that point, and
swept track half mile wide and six miles
long.
After the storm was passed. it having been
almost dark during its continuance, daylight,
with an occasional show of the suns face,
aided survivors in the work of aid to the liv-
ing and of gathering up the dead.
Within a short time eleven bodies were re-
covered: being L. F. Evans, Emery Evans,
Samuel Kincade. Clara Kincade, Sadie Kin
cade, Walter Kincade, Eva Kincade, William
Kincade, Mrs. Hutchinson, James Stewart.
Three others were found still alive, but be-
lieved to be fatally injured. They are Mrs.
Goepfert, Willeson Goepfert, James Baker.
At least twenty more we're found to be Sc
verely injured. About thirty houses were
blown down.

Verdict of Coroners, jury.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 21.-After being
out two hours the jury returned verdict set
ting forth that Frederick B. Lotus came to
his death by the disaster at Ford's theatre
building, June 8; that George w. Dant was
contractor under the government for the
work in progress which caused the disaster
and all circumstances connected with the
accident, and find that Frederick C. Aims
worth, in charge of the building. William G..
Covert. superintendent, Francis Sasse, engi-
neer, and George w. Dant, contractor, are
responsible for the killing of Lotus. The
jurors further find the failure of the govern
ment to provide for skilled superintendent
of work or repair and alteration of its build
ings in charge of the war department is most
unbusinesslike and reprehensible, and are of
the opinion if such superintendent had been
provided in case of work on Ford's theatre
the awful tragedy might have been averted.
Coroner Patterson decided not to issue
warrants at once, in order to give the &C
cused opportunity to obtain bail.
Colonel Ainsworth has already secured
bondsmen. Contractor Dant is very i'll at
his residence.

Morris and His Deputies.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 27.-In the ex-
pressions of opinion among those who have
been informed of the different features of
the fight, it is plain that all have come
to the conclusion that the president read
carefully Senator Martins contribution to
the New York Times on the money question.
While that may have been good reading
temporarily for some of the senator's con-
stituents it was certainly not in line with
the administration. The fat appointment
of Morris after receiving the protest OF the
senator is supposed to be the first attempt
to answer the senator's recent arguments on
the financial question. j. W. Watrous, edi-
Tor of the Burlington Independent, in Coffey
county, is slated for one of Morris deputies.
He is known as bitter against Martin as evil
denced by the files of his paper, and because
of this fact he is to be rewarded. Also it is
claimed that T. w. Thompson, of Topeka,
is booked for one of the places as he has for
some time been closely identified with
Morris and Jones in DOliticS.

A DEAD SENATOR.
Leland Stanford's Expected
Demise Comes,
Yet it Was Sudden at Last-Was in Best
Of Spirits When Retiring, But
the "Sp4 ark of Life" Went Out
Shortly After.

United States Senator Stanford passed
away peacefully at his residencei in Palo Alto,
California. Senator Stanford was in the
best of spirits during his last day. He took
a drive around his stock farm and seemed as
we'll as ever. He retired shortly after 10
o'clock, and about midnight his valet, going
into the senator's room, discovered he was
dead. 1t has been evident for some time
that Stanford's demise was question OF but
short time. His symptoms were apopletic,
and his weight was increasing alarmingly.
There was stiffness about the limbs that
made his locomotion exceedingly difficult.
His body was fast growing too heavy for his
limbs to support. He could only take the
slightest exercise. Six months ago he sent
for DR.. Curtis, of San Francisco. The doctor
prescribed heroic treatment, but the senator
was not ready to undergo such drastic meth
DDS.
Apoplectic symptoms increased and his
condition became such as to create serious
alarm. About SIX weeks ago it was found
necessary to impose severely plain diet
upon the senator, and since that time his
sole food has been fried hashed meat, with
hot water as the only liquid accompaniment.
It seemed for a time that this treatment
would effect a permanent cure, but his
strength was not sufficiently great to respond
to the demands upon it.

4 startling Discovery.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 27.-G. W. An
drews, special agent in the land Office who
some time ago was sent to Oklahomato make
report on matters there, submitted his report
in person to Secretary Smith. There are
some features about ii that will appear II
diculous, but it is in the report all the same.
AS news he states that he really found cattle
on the Cherokee strip. This is certainly
startling news at the department in the face
of the fact that several hundred letters have
been fred az the department by the would-be
settlers informing the department of the
scheme to steal the grass off the strip this
year.
The cattle commenced to pour in on the
strip on the I'd day of April and within a
week after that day there we're letters at the
department making the fact known, but it
was really never known until nearing the
last of June. Then a special agent must be
sent down there and he must remain over
three weeks looking into the matter, and he
must come all the way here in person to re-
port the fact. How it was that the secretary
could not find it possible to believe the peo-
pie who have been writing about the matter
is not explained.
