FORTUNE FOR A FIG.
Enormous Interest Sued for On a
5000 Note.

a remarkable case was discovered yesterday
when an examination was made of the COM
plaint fled In the Justices Court By Asa Fisk
against John Daniel, the marble man. The
suit was apparently an unostentaiious one,
brought to recover the sum OF $500 on a
prOmisSory note. The note is a simple one ap-
paIently. executed IN March, 1888. and signed
by John Daniel Tie terms, however. are tIat
the maker shall be liable for interest at tile rate
of per cent per month, compounded monthly
until final payment.
computation of this interest reveals the
astonishing fact that over S3l,000 is due on
the note, which was simply for the sum OF 5000.
The note would not be worth the paper II is
written on were ii not for III fact that ii was
renewed BY the maker in 1890. Otherwise IL
would have been Outlawed, as more than four
years had elapsed before II was presented for
collection. Daniel did not appear TO want to
take advantage OF the statute OF limitations, for
IN 1890 he signed a renewal Of the note.
After the nling of The complaint an attach

The Maid ami Her Follower.

I One OF the leading families in StutL
CART gave a supper party. to which
the Crown Prince had been invited.
His Royal Highness arrived a little
before t g preparations for the feast
were completed; observing which fact,
he decided to take a short stroll in
front of the house while daylight was
fading into dark.
Suddenly a trim servalt-maid
pounced out of the house and ran VI
to the Prince. to whom she handed a
parcel containing (as il afterwards
turned out) a large mime pie an | a
plum-pudding, and exclaimed under
her breath, "You mustn't come to.

the Prince himself is coming. Good

With that she gave his Royal High
ness a couple OF hearty kisses ana

get a word out.
A moment later he perceived a
soldier in his cloak, who was ca ting

his sweetheart lived there. On the
a replying in the affirmative, the
Prince continued

the Prince went on to say, ''but l

"Oh, you may keep it and wei

His loyal Iighness narrated his
adventure over the Lars and wine,
to the great anna ement of the com
pany, but exacted a promise that
neither the servant girl nor the

| City, Mo-, the other DAY recalls to
| State Auditor Van B. Prather a
J recollection OF the suicides brother,
R. b Stapp, notorious twenty years
ago as Dick Stapp For a number of
! years, says the Kansas City Times,
| Dick Stapp lived In the Short Creek
lead mining regions, in Cherokee
County, which is the home of Mr..
Prather. Stapp became notorious in
connection with the Jesse James gang
and lived at Granny, Mo, where he
kept a saloon. The James gang had
designed to raid the money vaults Of
the Granite Mining Company, and
they took Stapp into the enterprise.
At the same time they planned the
Otterv lie train robbery. Stapp who
"a a great coward, weakened at the
last moment and told the officers Of
| the plot Afterward, at the trial Of
| the only n of the Otterville train
robbers who was arrested, Stapp was
the principal witness for the state,
and the man was sent to the pen.ten-
tiary. Stapp was compelled to leave
CRANKY for fear o. assassination at
the hands of his former confederates,
and went to Short Greek, where he
opened a saloor at Galena. Here n
| hight while he was on watch alone a
man wearing blue goggles and a
slouch hat well down over his face
appeared and called for a drink. 1t
was given him, and as he paid for it
he said:
"Iour name is Dick Stapp. Dc
you know who l ann"
~ believe l do" replied Stapp, al
the same time reaching for his pistol
behind the bar,
81 am quicker than you are, as you
ought to know" exclaimed the
stranger. producing a 4l-Colt from
his overcoat pocket. ''But l have
not come to shoot. / want you to be
out of the way when we give our.
selves up to the au hor,U.cA If you
are not, some 0 us Will put you out
Of the way"
"All right" said St1pp. With
that the stranger walked out o. the
house. 1t was Jesse James.
Soon after that Stapp went out of
the saloon business and engaged in
mining, but he vas a consumptiye,
and a short time before Frank James
surrendered he went to California.
where he died, thus depr,ving the
State of Missouri o the only witness
