officers drove toward that city, stopping
at all OF the road houses on the way.
They succeeded in finding their man at
what is known as the Rhode Island

fight. The officers were aware of the fact
that he was bad man TO handle and
were prepared for any emergency. and
had he made an attempt to shoot the
consequences would have been that the
body of "Happy Jackn would have been
brought TO this city in the "dead
wagon" as two Of the three officers had
their revolvers ready for action. Detec-
tive Merrill, seeing en opportunity,
jumped at "Jack" ana held him. while
his associate placed the "twisters" about
his wrists.
Mary Fitzgerald, an inmate OF the house,
undertook to assist "Jack, " so she, also,
was placed under arrest, and was brought
to the city with him.

their meats and groceries at the same

Destructive Storm at Emporla.

Sunday night storm wrought seri-
GUS damage in Lyon county, concen-
trating its force on the State Normal
school building. An early report from
there says: The new wing of the
normal school building is in ruins.
Part of the north brick wall has been
blown in and the roof carried away.
1t had only lately been finished and
cost $4,000. The loss so far will be
not less than $4,000, with prospects of
it being still worse, as Albert Taylor
hall with its fine stage, fresco work,
chairs, etc., is open to the rain, which
is still falling. Fortunately no one
was in the building when it went
down.
Four inches of RAIN fell in two hours,
accompanied by terrific wind storm.
William Clarke's wholesale furniture
store was drenched, Easements and
cellars are flooded and sidewalks torn
up all over the city. But mesgre re.
ports have been received from the
country as yet. AT Reading a bridge
and thousand feet of the Santa Fe
track is gone. At Neosho Rapids,
several dwellings, church and liV-
cry barn were destroyed. At Hartford
a dwelling was blown down and Miss
Bessie Henry was seriously injured.
So far as can be learned, no one was
killed. Wires are down in every di-
rection.
The destruction of Albert Taylor
hall will in no wise interfere with work
at the normal, as fifty rooms in the
main building remain uninjured, and
there will be no interruption of classes.
A special meeting of the board of
the normal regents has heen called for
Tuesday at 8p. m.

publishing the following eccentric
proposition which he made In "desd

rejected with the reply that he thought
an acceptance of it would bring him
out in debt to Sans estate. The prop
osition says: "If you will ship me one
of your casketS to Topeka l will pay
the freight on it and when 1 am dead
my administrators will settle for it.
The casket will be placed in my tomb
and l will have electric lights put in,

reason is shortage of funds. This con-
dition of the county treasury is due to
the failure of two banks in which is
buried $4,000 Of the county funds.
A sample of the assets left by these
banks is note for $1,000 against J. R.
Burton which has SO far proved worth
less. This unhappy condition is a re-
suit of redeemer methods.
