Lumber camps are strange to this part
of Kansas but the Salvation Army in
tends to start one in a few days.
G. NJ. Kentley, who lives eight miles
south of this city, has offered the SALIVA
tion Army thirty loads of wood if the
soldiers will cut it. The army proposes to
cut this wood and haul 1t to the city,
make stove wood out of it and sell it at
the market rate. the money accruing TO 60
to the soup fund.-
Their good intentions however, are
hedged about by some details. The wood
will be cut providing they can get tent
for the men to sleep in as we'll as the axes
and other necessary utensils.
Six men and an overseer will make up
| the lumber camp The men will stay and
work for their board until the wood is cut.
The things that the army want are as
! follows: Eight axes, four bucksaws, one
cross-cut saw, six sawbucks, Que tent to
/ accommodate six men, two dozen com
| forts, cheap tin plates and knives aud
| forks, the use Of one team for hauling th,
wood.
The army would also like the use OF a
shed in which to store the wood. All the
| money will be used in the soup charity
The army, up to last night, had given
out $500 meals. The Whitaker packing
| house yesterday gave two muttons. Cash
Henderson gave 81 to- the Sunday children

SHERIFF SIMMONS RESIGNS.

KOKOMO, Sept 2.-Special.-Edgar
Simmons. sheriff Of this CHoward) county.
has forwarded his resignation to Governor
Matthews with the request to be acted
upon at once.
Simmons's official term will expire Nov.
IS, and there is some doubt whether any
person can be found to accept the place
in his stead. When the county commits
sioners come to appoint his successor,
Coroner Turpin. upon whom the duties
of the office will devolve pending the
new appointment, declares that he will
resign If the place is forced upon him, and
it seems impossible that anybody can fiji
the remainder of the term except at a
large financial sacrifice The new fee and
salary law gives the sheriff $4,000 per
year and no fees save for boarding pris-
oners at the jail Sheriff Simmons has
been compelled to keep two deputies, pay
ing them out of his salary, and the coun-
ty commissioners will allow him nothing
for going abroad after criminals against
whom warrants are held. They have also
cut his pay for boarding prisoners down
to 13 cents per day. He held to his Of

He was killed with shotgun in the
hands of Frank Bell.
Bell has rather an attractive wife, much
younger than himself. also FIVE children.
Persley is a wldower residing with his
children at his home. The Persley and
Bell families were always close friends
until recently Bel grew suspicious that
Pe-sley and Mrs. Bel were on too init
mate terms and 50 expressed himself to
his wife. He then told Persley that he
wanted nothing more TO do with him, and
that he did not want him 10 ever enter
his (BeI's) house.
The matter seemed to stop a. that and
no serious trouble occurred. both the
woman and man very positively denying
the charges.
Yesterday Persley and his brother Hen

a. Hartford Cb,y and it Is said that jacob
came home la.e in the evening intoXi-

BeWs home and it is alleged that he
asked Mrs Bell 10 open the door and let
him in. The husband was asleep up
Stairs, but az once came down and made
an attack on Pers,ey. \ fight ensued.
Persley pulled a knife and began sash
ing at Bel, finally cutting a deep cash
In his head. Bell ran into The house, got

SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT ACT
To Suppress Fraudulent Advertise
ments of Worlds Fair Awards.

Letters from both the Chief of Awards
Con Agricultural at the Chicago Worlds
Fair, Mr.. J. s. Browning, and the Judge
of Awards on Baking Powders, expose
the falsity of the claim made in behalf
of a Chicago baking powder that il re-
ceived the highest award for leavening
power, keeping qualities, purity and gen
eral excellence.
The Judge of Awards says that this
claim is false, that no such award was
given to that baking powder.
Mr.. Browning in his letter already pub
lished also shows that there was no
award given to the Chicago company
for the best baking powder.
1t now appears further that the an
alySes of the powder exhibited showed a
baking powder made in New York al
together the superior OF the Chicago
powder in both purity and strength.
The Government has prohibited the
use for advertising purposes of the
medals awarded by the Fair II would
be great protection to the public Z the
Government would also prohibit the pub
lication of false claims such as those that
have been exposed in relation to such
awards.
The only official competitive test of a
national character. from which con-
sumers can obtain the actual facts as to
the relative values Of all the principal
brands of baking powder Of the country,
is that made by the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, d. c. 1t so happens
that this was conducted by the same
eminent chemist who acted as Judge Of
Awards at the Chicago Columbian Fair
AS has already been published. at this
examination the Royal Baking Powder
was found to be the superior powder and
highest in leavening strength.

BARELY ESCAPED DEATH.
Was dubbed. shot and Then Thrown
Into the River.

EVANSVILLE, Sept. 14-Special.-On
March II last Paul w. Johnson left
Evansville for Louisville on business.
There he was accosted by man who
called him by name and invited him to
go down ONO a club boat.
Johnson accepted the invitation. was
made a prisoner on a family boat and
abducted. He was confined in the hold
Of the boat until after the boat passed
Memphis. Then he was let out 10 help
fish, but had a big rock fastened to his
leg to prevent his escape. When the
party reached the gulf Johnson was
transferred to a schooner and started
vast along the coast. AT Sabine he saw
two men in a sail-boat and determined
20 escape. He was discovered while
creeping forward to jump overheard, was
assaulted and his chest crushed In with
a broken harpoon. He was thrown over
board, a bullet shot through his abdomen
and ne was left for dead. The men in
the boat rescued him and cared for him
two months, then sent him ito a hospital
in New Orleans, communicated with his
wife and finally sent him home.
He arrived here this afternoon. john
son claims 10 have property worth about
$4,000 in Hickman and jefferson coun-
ties, Kentucky, which relatives want. He
thinks they are implicated in the abduc-
ton. Johnson is a physical wreck and
so weak he is hardly able 10 talk.

A SLICK CITIZEN.
Asks for Change, Then Takes the
Pot.

rot,
ANDERSON. Sept 14-Special.-One
Of the neatest and latest swindling
schemes out made its appearance in this
city last night.
About 6:30 last evening a fellow with
a hustle and a business air rushed into
Matthias Colchen's saloon at Eighth
st. and the Big Four railroad, threw
a handful of money on the counter and
asked Mr.. Colchen if he would exchange
a twenty-dollar bill for it. At the same
time the stranger explained that there
the bill TO inclose in a letter to his wife
at Toledo, 1t being then too late to get
bank draft or money order.
Mr.. Colchen got out a twenty"
handed it to the fellow and saw him
put 1t in an envelope, as he thought. Then
while the envelope lay on the bar in the
presence of all the change was counted
and but SO found. The fellow said there
was a mistake and he would run home
and get another dollar. He went out.
leaving the $40 and the envelope with
Colchen In a short time he returned,
saying his wife was out and he couldn't
get the other dollar. He took his $40 and
leaving the envelope went away.
A half hour later Mr. COlchen con-
cluded he would take the bill from the
envelope and PUT it in the cash drawer.
When he opened the envelope he found
a part Of an old railroad map. but no
money in it. Then he discovered that
he had been fiim-fammed. He reported
fl To the police but the man was gone.
The same fellow tried to work the trick
at Wilhams's Eldorado drug store at 6
o'clock and was given the laugh. He
also tried 1t at the Enterprise steam
laundry Office and was kicked out.

LYING ABOUT HOLMAN.
The Old Watch Dog of the Treasury
and MongreI Pack.

and MOngreI Pack.
GREENSBURG, Sept. 12.-SpeciaI-
The following is a part Of the contents
Of an item in the indianapolis Journal
this morning which does the Hon w 5.
Holman great injustice and Is also false
in almost every particular, and is only
a sample of the Httleness the republi-
cans are resorting to in their desperation
in this state:
Two claimants were named in the
bill-J. and O. P. Cobb. o. P. Cobb has
been dead three or four years. Had the
bill gone through o. p. Cobb's heir would
have come in for half of the money
That heir is an only daughter, and her
husband is w. S. Holman, jr., all of
which goes to show that blood is thicker
than water"
Now, the facts in the case are these:
There are six heirs to the o. P. Cobb
estate, four sons and two daughters, as
every one with any intelligence in this
congressional district well knows. And.
further the Cobb heirs, one and all, have
never disguised the fact that they held
the Hon w. s Holman responsible in a
great measure for the nOn-passage Of
the bill allowing them the money that
they have cOntended justly due
them since about the close OF the late
civil war.
Republicans will have to go farther
before they succeed in connecting the
Watch Dog" in the remotest degree
with an attempt TO loot the public
treasury in the interest of his own or
any other family.
