JOHN j. INGALLS,.
Possibility that He May Again Represent
His State in the Senate.


Topeka, Kan, Jan. 11.-All efforts
to keep ex-senator John j. Ingalls, out
of the senatorial campaign now being
waged in Topeka bid fair to prove un-
availing. His friends are here in
large numbers protesting vigorously
against the action of the committee in
charge of the arrangements for the
Inauguration ceremonies next Mon
day, and of the big Old Soldiers
camp fire to be held Monday night
in honor of Gov. Morrill,, in
emitting the name of ingalls, from the
programme. 1t had been understood
that Mr.. Ingalls, was to deliver a speech
at both Inauguration and the camp
fire. His friends are charging that the
other senatorial candidates have in
fiuenced the committee to ignore him
for the reason that they fear speech
from him at that time would create a
stampede among the members of the
legislature who have not as yet ex-
pressed choice for senator.
Mr.. Ingalls, will arrive in Topeka
Sunday night, and the republican eau
Gus will be held Wednesday night.
There are now quite number of mem
bers of the legislature who are openly
advocating the election of Mr.. In
gals as the easiest way out of the
acrimonious fight that is now being
waged between the other candidates.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. IA western
romance drifted into Cleveland Thurs

II. McElvery, who halls from Butte
City, Mont. He is in search of the
relatives of Miss Celia f. Steiner, of
Butte City, Mont. Years ago she
went with her parents into a wild
Montana mining town. The mother
died and was buried by the min

in the father and baby girl. The
quartet moved out into the wilds, and
while in an unprotected camp, received
warning of an intended attack by In
dams. The campers started out of the
country, but were overtaken by the
Indians. The father died in the de-
Tense of a pass, which protected
the retreat of the two compan-
ions with the baby girl. The
companions struck it rich and
became wealthy. The girl, however,
fell to the lot of one of them, named
Steiner, from whom she took her
name. He afterward went to a tropi-
ical port and died of yellow fever,
leaving all of his property to the
adopted child. McElvery then ac-
cepted the responsibility of seeing his

ways of polite society.

ONLY A NEEDLE POINT

But 1t Proves Deadly as the Dagger OF an
Assassin-The Sad Outcome of a New Year
Lark-A Needle Stab, Given In Fun. Re-
suits in the Death of Diedrich Jannssen,
In st. Louis, tn the Sorrow and Dismay of
All Concerned.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. Industrious was
the New Years frolic in which Dieder-
ich Jannssen and Mrs. Emma Whittier
took part. Jannssen is dead, and there
is mourning in at least two house
holds. And a common little cambria
needle, in the hands of playful and
good-natured woman, was the instru-
ment of death.
On New Years day a number of Mrs.
Writers friends, young Jannssen
among the number, called upon her,
and the whole party engaged in various
games. Finally they fell to SNOWFALL
ing one another near the front steps,
and somebody succeeded in hitting
Jannssen fairly on the face. Mrs.
Writers work-basket lay upon a table
| in the house, and the young man run
ming in and taking a needle from it,
playfully threatened to avengc him.
self.
He attempted to stick it into Mrs.
Writers arm, but she wrested it away
! and turned the Misunderstanding
| weapon against him. Jannssen mere
ly said ''Oh," as the point pierced his
| thigh, and the frolic went on, no one
dreaming of evil results.
Mrs. Whittier, however, noticed that
the point of the needle had been broken
off, and, having read of blood-poison-
ing, became alarmed. She urged
| Jannssen to consult doctor.
| and even tried to persuade his fam
i'y to call one should he persist in re-
fusing. Jannssen laughed at them and
at their fears, however, for a day or
two. Then he began to feel strange
pains in his leg, and consented to per-
| NIT an examination. The doctor found
that modification had already set in,
and that amputation offered the only
chance of saving his patients life.
Jannssen was taken to the Deaconesses'
hospital, but died before an operation
could be performed.
Just before his death the young man
made statement to his relatives and
seemed especially anxious that no
shadow of blame could rest upon Mrs.
Whittier.
Then he told the story as given
above, empha ASKING the fact that they
had been simply a merry party of
friends, and that there had been the
slightest show of ill-feeling upon the
part of anyone. Others who were pres
ent cOrroborate this.
There is much sincere regret at the
tragic ending of New Years merry
making. Mrs. Whittier is almost pros
trated with grief.

LA FAYETTE, Ind, Jan. 11.-Yester.
day in the superior court opened the
test case of Mrs. Helen M. Cougar
against the election precinct officers
of this city for denying her the right Of
franchise at the late election. Mrs.
Cougar was admitted to the bar and
all day argued in her own behalf upon
the proposition whether under the con.
stitution and laws a woman was en-
titled to vote at the election. She con
tended that it is not necessary to write
another line of law in Indiana to
inaugurate woman suffrage, that all
that is needed is a liberal interpreta,
ton of existing laws. The argument
was a strong elaboration of the posi-
tion long contended for by suffragists,
but now for the first time raised in q
legal proceeding in Indiana, that un.
der federal constitution the right tc
vote is already given to women; that
she is simply by custom and practice
deprived of that which is by law right.

TAYLOR's SHORTAGE.

Suit Begun the Alleged Embezzier's
Hond-The State May Default on Interest
An Sorts of Rumors Afioat-Certified
Deposit Checks Received from the Miss
Ing Treasurer-The Embezzlement in tho
Legislature.
PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 10.-The attor-
ney general has begun suit on the
bond of ex-Treasurer Taylor. 1t is UNI
derstood that the bond will be con-
tested. Ex-Gov. Melette. who quail
fed for $4,000, wires that he will be
here tonight and will straighten out
the shortage. As his proportion, how
ever. is only 10 per cent. of the defal-
cation, the state officials do not place
much reliance on it.
1t is believed Taylor is in hiding in
the east. 1t is known that he had,
when he left here fully quarter of
million in ocash, and he could have
drawn in New York 500. 900 more. It
is believed that he has certain con-
federates here who are keeping him
advised of the proceedings
A strong attempt is being made to
throw doubt on the validity of the
bonds, and it is suspected that the plan
is to force the state into compromise
with the bondsmen for moderate sum,
and then, when the settlement is COM
pleted and Taylor promised immunity,
he will make good the losses of the
bondsmen.
ALI sorts of rumors have been set
afioat here by Taylor's friends to pre-
vent rigid prosecution. 1t is said
that the shortage is due to the liber-
ality with which he supported various
banks during the panic, and received
notes on which he has failed to real
ize.
The state officials are making siren
uous efforts to raise sufficient cash to
keep the various state institutions
running, and a peremptory call for
taxes is expected to produce enough to
tide over the difficulty for some time:
but the state auditor feels positive that
South Dakota must default on the
bond interest due in June.
Meanwhile every effort is being
made to apprehend Taylor.
Certified Deposit Checks Received from
Taylor.

Urea surer burlington yesterday re-
ceived a letter from Taylor, the miss
ing state treasurer, dated New York,

ing from the case, Mr.. Stephens said:
"Mr. johnson could not retire fir ON the

anything to do with it. Col. Hale, d.

neys, with Col. Myers to help US get

He thinks that getting jury and
