Merry OPERATOR.
He Shoots a Robber and the
Fellow Seeks Consolation
in a Cornfield.

lola, KAs., Feb. pat four
o'clock this morning a man came into
the waiting room of the Santa Fe
depot with a revolver in each hand.
Marching up to the ticket window, he
smashed in the glass and said to the
night operator, VIM. F. Tyler:
THROW Up YOUR HANDS"
The operator, who was at his ipstru-
ment, jumped for his revolver and got
the drop on the man and shot him in
the head, Just above the ear. He
dropped to the floor. Tyler went out
to call section foreman Vassar. While
Tyler was gone, the wounded man
crawled ont of the depot into a corn
field near by, where he was found
this morning and taken to the county
Jail. He is MORALLY wounded.
ZANE NAN.
The night operator at Humboldt,
near lola, was held up about 10
o'clock last night and a few dollars

KNOCKED OUT.
Baffled Marmaduke Cadets
Pass Through from st.
Louis.

The members of the Marmaduke
Military Academy football team, who
were defeated by the Pastime team in
st. Louis Yesterday, passed through
Sedalia this morning, en route home.
The following is brief report of
the game:
The Pa-time Athletic clubs eleven
defeated the Marmaduke Military
Academv's team yesterday afternoon
at Sportsman park by score of 81
to D. The reputation Of the elevens
served TO attract crowd of 1000,
many Of whom displayed the white
and blue of the Pastimes or the orange
and black of the Marmadukes. SUI
perintendent Spencer of Marmaduke
Academy and about ~ of his cadets
in uniform accompanied the visitors.
President DelanO and other officers of
the Pastimes cheered their team on to
victory. A large number of fashion
able turnOuts were present.
As indicated by the score the Pas
times excelled at all points. Their
team work was especially noteworthy.
The Cabanne brothers, Kaufman,
Thompson, Lee and Brooks, who Sue
ceeded Kaufman in the latter part of
the second half, did much to contrib
ute to the Pastimes' victory.
The Marmadukes were handicapped
in age. weight, experience and team
work. Their interference was much
inferior to the Pastimes'. Their slow
ness was fatal in the execution of
plays which depend upon promptness
for their success.
Yesterdays game was a contest be-
tween individual efforts and team
work, and, As Is the invariable result,
the latter won. The Marmadukes
were As game as pebbles, however, and
contested every inch of ground The
work of Young Niece, Spann and
Terhune was especially brilliant. A
splendid drop kick by McGee, which
saved his team from shut-out, was
one of the features of the game.
Feeling ran high at times and blows
were exchanged on at least two occa-
SONS. McGee gave &. Cabanne the
elbow and received facer in return.
A this occurred just after time was
called in the first half. the umpire and
referee refused to order Cabanne out
of the game. &. Cabanne. it il claim
ed, hit another of his opponents in the
second half. The Marmadukes were
loud in their protests against such
tactics and denounced it as unsports-
manlike. Bloody noses were the or
der of the day. Spann of the Mar
madukes, who sprained his leg, was
the only player who was badly hurt.
The grounds were soft and soggy.
This interferred with the running of
the players, but was blessing in dis
guise, as it prevented many from be-
ing injured in the frequent scrimmages
and plings up which occurred. John
w. Valiant was selected As referee
and F. W. Scullin as umpire.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
He Loved Music, Loved the
Girls and Had a Hatchet
Which is in History.

=
He was father of country that he
would be proud of, if he could see il
and talk on the telephone to Miss
Hello to-day.
George being the father of this
country he has goOd-sized family
and an interesting one.
George Washington: If you could
only return and hear Prof. Smith tn
Morrow night extol your name and
virtues. you would be sorry you ever
died.
George Washington had a great
ear for music, if history has its usual
amount of facts.
According to all accounts he list
ened to more singing than any other
man of his time.
Now David wasn't slow on songs,
and he used to whoop up the "chief
musician" right smart, but couldn't
touch George ON the song business.
George loved music-he was pas
siOnately fond OF it.
We have kept an account of the
death of the girls who used to sing for
him when they were young.
We have kept this account for
thirty-fve years.
They commenced dying about that
time.
Up to yesterday, 80, 1874 of his sing
ing girls are dead, with several town.
ships and New Jersey to hear from.
To-day We received the mOurnful
intelligence of another-quite On old
girl. Here it is:
"One of the girls who greeted Washing
ton with song OF welcome on the occasion
OF his entry into Newport, Mass, has jns,
died in that town. Her name was Nancy
Sewell, and she was at the ripe old age Of
liz years"
That makes -, s95.
Poor Nancy!
How well we remember eighty or
ninety wears ago how she used to
silg:
II am tired now, and sleepy too,
for George when he would come in
from killing Il Britisher or two before
breakfast.
1t used to liven' him up powerfully,
singing did.
Kinder soOthed him.
The girls all liked to sing for Wash
ington. and he liked to have 'em.
1t was mutual admiration of singer
and singee.
About all that tie girls did in those
days was to sing tor Washington
When they got hoarse the innumer-
able body servants helped them out.
Did you ever notice always that
everybody who sung for Washington
was mighty long lived and we expect
there are a good many singing for
him vet.
George used to travel great deal
among his choirs, and whenever he
would reach u town, glee clubs would
come out with flowers and sing songs
of welcome.
But those good old days are gone.
and there amt but few thousand Of
these songstresses left.
Now Nancy has climbed the stairs
to the stars and is singing ON the
other shore To George.
Used to sing for Washington.
The Ratchet brigade will he heard
from next, but the crop of cherry
trees Is getting - derncd scarce, we
don't see how they will get in.
Ii Prof. Smith, in his address, over
looks the singing girls and the story
of the Ratchet, he will neglect Il piece
of standard history that he should not
ignore.
And Nancy is dead.

McKINLEY'S MISERY.
His Affairs in a Wrecked Con.
dition and He is q Poor
Man.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2l.-GOyernOr Nc
kinley made a bankrupt over fidelity
to the interests Of q friend, has asked
II. H. Kohlsaat, of this city, to act
rs his trustee. He may be COM
PEELED to resign the gubernatorial
chair Of Ohio and begin the active
practice of law.
The conference which led to Mr..
Kohlsaats selection as trustee was held
in Cleveland, Sunday evening. 1t
was found that the Governors liabili-
ties are s95, 600 sum nearly
FIVE TINES AS LARGE
as he has saved during the forty-nine
years Of his life. Mrs. Mckinley has
property which will probably bring
S75, OOOif sold under the hammer. She
proposes to turn this over to Trustee
kohlsaat. She is an invalid and her
fortune came As legacy from
her father. And Ter friends
protest against allowing her means to
90 to cancel the governors debts in
Cured by another man but she insists.
Thus the two will become penniless.
They will lose their Canton home and
all their household goods. Mrs. Nc
Kinley's farms and all go so that in
poverty they begin life again. In an
interview Mr.. Kohlsaat said: 1.-The
Governor will retire from politics,
since he cannot hold office and again
get on his feet financially. He said
he would begin his law practice again
and make it his object in life to pay
all that he had been dragged into
owing" His affairs
ARE A COMPLETE WRECK,
the failure taking the modest home
and its contents. The friends of Mrs..
Mckinley, heroic woman that she is,
declare she must not put her fortune
at the mercy Of creditors. Just what
will be done on her part is not yet de-
cided. She is positive one way; her
friends are equally decided the other.
A dispatch received last evening says
Mrs. Mckinley is with her husband
in Cleveland and the parties were in
conference as to final action. Will the
governor resignf Well it is hardly
possible to zee what else he car do.
1t is quite necessary. since he proposes
to settle dollar for dollar and there IL
no money in being governor Of any
state. He once had a good law
practice and his brilliant reputation
will again add TO it.
SAYS HE WILL NOT RESIGN.
CLEVELAND, ONO, Feb. 21.-Gov-
ernor Mckinley is still at the home Of
Col. NJ. T. Herrick in this city. ar
ranging the business complications
resulting from the Walker failure ut
Youngstown. The Governor was
seen this morning and questioned in
regard to the report that he may resign
his office as Governor of Ohio. He
says most positively that there is no
truth in any such report; that he has
at no time contemplated resigning his
office. The Governors entire fortune
will be swept away. A stakeholder
of the stamping works Of which Robert
l.. Walker was president says: The
affairs Of the works are not in such
bad condition as one would imagine.
If the works are permitted to run as
they undoubtedly will be, the affairs
Of the company will be settled up and
dollar for dollar will be paid.

TEN O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT.

NlohAs
j. A. Quinn, station agent, and Mr..
Snyder, telegraph operator. were sit
ting in their office at the NJ, X. &
T. depot about 10 o'clock, when, with
out any warning, the window-pane
was Smashed in and the cleaning bar
rel of a
WINCHESTER RIFLE
was thrust through the hole.
Quinn and Snyder had hardly re-
covered rom this startling intrusion,
when two closely masked men entered
the office door and ordered them to
"HoLD UP YOUR HANDS,"
While the bandit on the outside
covered the agent and operator with
his rife, leveled through the broken
window, his two confederates hastily
set about their work Of robbing. They
secured a large sum of money from
the
AMERICAN EXPRESS
and a sum of railroad money. They
did not disturb the United States mail
sacks, which were in the room, but
satisfied themselves by merely looking
into the return paper mail sack. At
ter finishing their work at the depot,
the bandits marched the terrified
AGENT AND OPERATOR
to Hayden's general merchandising
store, short distance from the station.
and looted that establishment. Their
prisoners were then escorted to the
stockyards, where the
THREE DEsPERADoEs
hurriedly mounted their horses and
galloped away southwark.
The alarm was Immediately given
As soon as the bandits had ridden
away, and large posse of heavily
armed citizens was quickly organized.
and started in pursuit.
THE .'HoLD UP"
was boldly and cleverly executed,
apparently by old hands at the bust
ness, but the bandits were
50 thoroughly masked and conducted
themselves so prudently, that it was
impossible to identify them. Who
they are or where they came from is
a deep mystery.
