Mr.. Benefits Family Did Not Hear Of
His imprisonment.
A dispatch from New Haven, Conn,
says that Erasmus Bennett. the we'll
known Topeka horseman, has just been
released from the local jail after a weeks
imprisonment
Mr. Bennett went east two week ago
to collect $50, 900 owed him by his eastern
agent, Hiram p. Reynolds Of Franklin
vile, n. Y. Reynolds declined TO give
up the money and had Bennett arrested
on a charge of fraud and skipped town.
Mr.. Bennett was released from jail on
bonds furnished by the First National
bank OF Kansas City. the Merchants bank
of St. Joseph and the Bank Of Highland,
Kan.
Ed Bennett said today that this dispatch
was the first intimation he has had Of his
fathers trouble and did not know he was
in Jail. He knew he went east TO make
some collections and that this man Rey-
nolds was short in his accounts between
$4,000 and 5000, but says he did not

DURANGO. Colo. Sept 13.-I was
talking a few days since to a well
known cattleman Of San Miguel coun-
ty, who gave me much interesting In
formation regarding the cattle interests
of this great state In San Miguel coun-
ty, my informant stated, the mode OF
raising cattle has changed from that OF
10 years ago. Instead of depending on
range feed the entire year. the cattlemen
now prepare feed with which to winter
their stock, thereby preventing heavy
losses during the winter months.
Ranchmen nowadays, as fast as their
means viii allow, are improving tEeil
ranches and getting them into shape tc
grow alfalfa, the grass best adapted tc
the soil, which. being wonderfully pro-
ductive, often yields three crops in one
season. Alfalfa Is an unknown quantity
in the east, but it's mighty big factor
out here in stock and dairy interests. II
is a species Of clover Of vivid emerald
hue and has lovely purple blossoms II
averages three tons to the acre and q
pasturage besides which will serve I'M
til winter. An alfalfa field will subsist
horses. cattle and hogs without any
other feed. So also will the hay itself.
Even hogs that feed exclusively upon
the hay will keep fat all winter. Poul-
try, too, thrives upon the green alfalfa
Like all cIovers, it enriches the soil,
and marvellous yields Of grain result in
rotating after it. A 10 acre field of al
falfa will provide for team Of horses,
five to eight milk COWS and so stock
hogs. The value of the alfalfa crop last
year was 81, 900, OOO The honey made
from alfalfa is incomparably superior in
flavor to any other
Montrose county is another great cat
tie region. When the government was
feeding the Indians in this county, the
interesting discovery was made that the
cattle driven in here for the use of the
soldiers and Indians began to show
decided improvement in flesh. Investi-

IT WAS A FIRST NIGHT.
''Mr. Barnes of New York; Opens
the Season.
THE PLAY VERY CLEVERLY GIVEN.

MISS RiGI Makes some Observation
on Topeka and other Matters.
The audience at the Grand last night
to see Emily Rigl in ''Mr. Barnes OF New
York was fairly large and fairly fash
ionabIe one.
In "Mr. Barnes Of New York" Mr..
Gunter has given to the world 3 story of
strong and strange. not to say wierd, dra-
matte interest," story with possibilities
in every part for the right people
Marina Paoli is a strong part and Miss
Rigl does it better than any other star
perhaps could do so difficult a role She
created the part in New York city, aud
while she has not played it continuously
since, it is considered her strongest
1t Is portrayal of the wild passionate
love that belongsS Corsican life,
hampered by her worship of the VEN
delta In the fourth act her struggle be-
tween her love for Anstruther and the
power of her oath to kill the murderer
of her brother was splendidly DONE
She was handicapped greatly in her work
last night by her Anstruther and it is
perhaps only just to Manager Moore to
say that Mr.. Clark, the original Anstruth-
er, is IN New York city attending the
funeral of his child and the part is at
present being handled BY an under
study.
Mira May Haynes Moore who plays
Enid Anstruther, the English girl, is the
wife OF Manager Moore and While she IS
only twenty years of age was quite as
popular with the audience as anyone on
the stage. She does her work freely
and easily and the audience likes her
from the first appearance.
Dir. Hackett as Barnes" had no trou-
Bile in getting into touch with his audi
ence and holding their favor. There is
a dash about him that Mr.. Gunter evil
IDENTITY intended the character to have and
the comedy of the piece depends largely
on his work.
In the Mateo. Mr.. P. l. Fontaine, the
company had a good man. His work in
the last act was exceptionally good
The prettiest piece of work the audi
ence saw during the evening was the
railway trip from Paris to Nice in four
scenes. This is the place in which Miss
Anstruther distinguishes herself, in which
Mr.. Barnes introduces some clever bits
of legitimate comedy. They secured an
encore. The scenery in this was correct
to nicely.
Mr.. Charles Lamb as TomassO, E. w.
Morrison Antonio PaOH and Charles
Hayne as the railway guard were good
in their respective parts.
The stage management seemed to have
night and the audience noticed it. In ad-
dition to this when the curtain arose on
the third act the audience was greeted
with cloud of dust, presumably from
the stage carpet.
Mr. and Mrs. d. 0. McCray and friends
constituted the only box party.

The Millionaire Gives q Dormitory to the

Russell Sage has never been suspect
ed of great ~liberality, and many people
were surprised to learn that he has Civ
en- $3.50, 900 in good cash for o dormito-
~ at the famous old Troy Female semi
nary. 1t is generally agreed that this
bounty is due to Mrs. Sage, who Ia NOT
only the first woman trustee of the
school, but very nearly the oldest liv-
ing graduate and president Of the EN-
ma Willard association, which is named
for the founder Of the school. Both of
Mr.. Sage's wives were graduated there,
and In their honor he first gave S1OO, :

Judge Edgerton in United States court
at Sioux Falls the other day suggested
to the district attorney that the grand
jury return no more indictments against
parties charged with selling liquor to the
Indians on what was known esthe Sisse-
ton reservation. He said that the law
required that before an offense was COM
mited to whom the liquor was sold must
not only be an Indian but must be
under the control Of az Indian agent or
superintendent. Where lands had been
divided in severalty, as is the case with
the Sisseton reservation, where the
Indian farmsd as did other men, and
had the right Of suffrage, the judge was
not ready to say that TO sell him liquor
was a violation of the United States law,
although it was a violation of the state
law. This puts such Indians as have
Iands in severalty on the same political
plane as white citizens. 1t is q new and
important point which viii attract large
attention In legal circles. The grand
Jury then returned an indictment
against Thomas Kindred for selling
liquor to the Indians. Capt. w. FL.
Stoddard was appointed by the court to
defend Kindred and in the morning will
demur TO the indictment on the ground
that the Indian to whom the liquor was
sold was not under the control Of an
Indian agent and that the sale did not
therefore constitute an ~offense against
the laws of the United States. This
case will bring to a test the legal status
of such Indians as are above referred TO.
