MRS. LEASE is ANGRY.
Her Fees Denied Her Because
She Has Pass.
She Says Gov. LewelIing and
Chairman BreidenthaI
BOTH HAVE PASSES.
Yet They Received Their Fees
Just the Same.
Mrs. Lease Says Women Are as
Bad as Men.

Mrs Mary E. Lease is angry today.
Her temper has been ruff ed by the fol-
lowing dispatch in the morning paper:
Kansas CITY. KAs.. Sept. Mrs. Mary
Lease stopped for the purpose Of collecting the
fees due her as witness III the klng-Smlth IL

placed opposite the names Of the other
witnesses. mine was left blank 1 object

Lewelliug and Breidenthal we're wit
nesses and they both ride on passes, and
still they were allowed mileage, and
then the amount due me is left blank
Il spoke at Osborne on The Saturday
night before the trial and missed the

across the country and caught Missouri

City they issued a warrant against me,
for contempt of court, which I inter
ceDted with telegram. and still they
refuse to pay me my fees when l paid
my fare for the entire distance.
'sAll this talk" continued Mrs. Lease
that the women will improve the politics
of the state, is foolishness. We are no
better and no worse than men. Women
will call each other liars on the plat
form just like men. They Will ride on
passes just like men. You will find
the worst set of cat scratching cut
throats among women that you can find
anywhere. the woman suffra gists should
drop that plea and simply demand that
they shall not be Disseminated against.
Just imagine how badly you would
feel if you were poor lonely man
among gang of female poll
ticians and female reporter

ons.rated that you were thrifty and
could get along without the help of your
female sisters That seems to be my
crime. 1 have succeeded where men

BRUTALLY ASSAULTED.
A Young Druggist OF Osnge City Probably
Fatally Injured.


OsAGE CITY. Kan, Sept S.-John 7.
Thomas, a young druggist of this city,
was horribly and brutally assaulted by
unknown parties at an early hour aud
now lies at the point Of death with
but the slightest hopes Of re-
cOvery; the whole left side Of
his head is crushed and the body par
alyzed. Numerous cuts are on the right
side and his right ear nearly severed.
The physicians think it to be the work
of beer bottles.
After attending dance here last night
he was last seen in the Italian quarter.
He was found along the Missouri Pacific
tracks about one mile from the
city at six o'clock this morning, where
he was undoubtedly hauled to divert
suspicion from the perpetrators
of the crime. Robbery was not the mo
tive as 500 and his watch and chain
were found on his person. His widowed
mother lives AZ Emp0ria. No clue to
the assassina.
