DROPPED THE KEY,
MurdererS Leave a Fatal Clue to Their
Identity,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 17.-Burglars
killed Christensen Pearson early this
morning. He was special policeman eni-
ployed by the wealthy residents of Hyde
park to guard their houses. He was found
dead in the cellarway of the home of A a.
Mosher, president of the Air Line railroad,
by servant Just after daybreak, with Il
bullet in bis head. The murderers had
several hours to hide themselves away be-
fore their crime was known, but they
blindly left clue that will prove of more
service in bringing them 20 justice than
their photographs. They dropped a key TO
the cellar door in the area. That key
was of peculiar make. Mr.. Mosher
owned several of them aad all were num-
bered. Only one was missing. The muir
dered man carried such a key and it was
found in his pocket. Members of the
household had duplicates of the key and
every one has been accounted for. One
was given to Richard Russell, a negro en-
ployed by Mr.. Mosher as a laborer about
year ago. Two other negroes were en-
ployed 10 help Russell and Russell report
ed one day that he lad lent the key to one
OF his helpers aud it had been lost. This is
the key that was dropped by the man
who killed Waterman Pearson.
They let themselves into the cellar by 1t.
Pearson came upon them unexpectedly. as
evidenced by tue fact his pistol had not
been drawn The threads of evidence tell
a clear story OF the murder. The burglars
opened the cellar door. One of them had
the key in his hand when Pearson surpris-
ed him and he dropped the key to use his
weapon. The police have evidence enough
to convince them that two or more men
were attempting the burglary.
Richard Russell lives in shanty near
Mr.. Mosher's house. He was not at home
last night nor today. His wife said he
was absent in St. Joseph attending meet
ing of the Colored Baptist association.

Circumstances Favor Rene wal Of Better
Relations With Colombia.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA sharp diplo-
matte disagreement between the United
States of Col ombia and the United States
of America has just been brought to d
close. The difference grew out OF and has
existed ever since President Harrison, in
March, 1892, issued a retaliatory proclama.
ton against Colombia, under the pro-
visions of the Mckinley act, because of the
latter's refusal to negotiate a reciprocity
treaty with the United States as has been
done by other Central and South Ameri-
can countries.
Senior Hurtado, the Colombia minister,
protested against the proclamation and
after warm correspondence with Secre
taries Blaine and John w. Foster, left
Washington, aud has returned but once
since, that occasion being for a call on
Secretary Gresham.
For TWO years Colombia's protests have
been before the state department. Now,
however. the new American tariff does
away with reciprocity and retaliation, so
that the retaliatory proclamation against
Colombia is anuulled. As result the
strained relations between the countries is
ended and it is thought Senior Hurtado
will again take up his residence in Wash
ington.

state fair at Wichita is taken as critic

Peerless Princess of Kansas, the people in
Oklahoma City are redoubling their efforts
to permanently locate state fair here on
account of the very superior advantages
found.
