Unusual circumstances of the Burial of
Dell ParmeIee.
In spite of the fact that there are
great number of undertakers in Topeka
there came near being funeral vester-
day without an undertaken being ap-
ptised of the fact
dell Parmelee, who used to drive
'bus, died Saturday morning at the home
of his brother-in-law, W. o. Sutton, at
524 Jefferson street He had been sick
long time and was without means, and
his brother-inlaw has been out of work
for a long time and could not afford to
pay the funeral exp enses. No under
taker was consulted but a pine box was
made and the kind hands of the neigh
boring ladies covered the rough box with
cambric and it presented a respectable
appearance.
There was no conveyance to take the
body to the church whore the services
were to be held, or to the cemetery, and
q man by the name of Moore went to the
undertaking establishment of De Moss s.
PenWe4 aud told them the circumstances.
They at once took out their hearse, and
in an hour the body of the unfortunate
man was taken TO the church with as
much pomp as if he had been wealthy.
He will rest as well in his simple pine
box covered with plain cloth as he would

His Counsel.
The Case to be Taken to
California.
ARRAIGNED In COURT.

NEW YORK. April 22.-Collis P. Hunt
ington, president of the Southern Pacific
railway, was arrested today on a charge
of giving a free pass to one Frank Stone,
in violation of the interstate commerce
law
President Huntington was arraigned
before U. s. Commissioner Shields. He
was represented by his counsel, Freder-
ick R. Coudert. Huntington admitted
his identity. He was taken before
Judge Brown, of the United States dis
trict court, for warrant of removal to
California
The Indictment against Huntington
was found on March rs in San Francisco,
a certified copy of which was sent TO
United States District Attorney McFar-
lane, who notified the railroad president
to appear before a United States commits
sioner and furnish bonds
When Mr.. Huntington was arraigned
Commissioner Shields said that the only
question he could inquire into was the
one of identity, which Mr.. Coudert, for
Mr.. Huntington. said would be admitted.
An order was then made out holding
him to await the issue of warrant of
removal. Counsel then went before
Judge Brown, of the United States dis
frict court and hearing was fixed fer
next Thursday at ) o'clock, Mr.. Hunt
ington in the meantime being allowed to
go on his own recognizance.
Mr.. Huntington said to reporter after
the proceedings before Commissioner
Shields: 81 have known Frank Young
for twenty five year. He is a San Fran
cisco lawyer l would not call him a
wicked man because a wicked man
would not do things that way He is an
innocent kind of fellow. ] suppose he
has started this thing because I have
piqued him in some way or other, how,
don't know.
II may have given him pass; proba-
bly, did, but give out SO many passes
that | don't remember one-third of them.
The passes that are usually given out
are indorsed as a rule mot good outside
the state and | presume his pass was not
so stamped and he took advantage of it.
81 don't know anything about the mat
ter beyond that; for | don't pay any at
tention to such things. In fact, don't
care a tuppence one way or the other. It
don't amount to anything anyhow.
81 really don't know what action was
taken in court this morning. Some rou-
tine business, I suppose it was, but l did
not pay any attention.
ARRESTS are made among the high and
low and criminal procedure is not con-
fined to any class. l don't know what
will be done. l guess Frank got the
pass all right, but l have not time to at
tend to all the details. I have too much
else to do.
81 think the root of the whole matter
lies in the fact that when became Pres
ident of the Southern Pacific railroad
| discharged twenty-three men out in San
Francisco, who were, so far as 1 could
see mere political agents and go be-
tweens for politicians They did no
work for the railway that l could dis
cover, so I cut them off. Perhaps they
are hungry now and have got to make a
! strike somewhere"

BIG TRANSACTIONS
The Heaviest Days Trading of the Year
In Wheat


NEW YORK, April 22.-Transactions
in wheat this morning about equalled
the heaviest entire days trading this
year, being 13,325,O00 bushels, and the
advance of "a cents in prices over Sat-
urday was the biggest single jump the
market has had in months. With such
a sensational rise in values excitement
was naturally intense.
Traders were fairly crushed in the
wild effort to execute buying orders
which poured in from the country from
houses with European connections and
with the big local operators.
Prices huctuated violently and soon
after the opening began to slide
down again, only increased the
excited feeling. Finally the
orders gave out and traders had chance
to examine into the cause of the extra
ordinary jump. Some said that the big
western shorts had been run in, but it ls
generally conceded that the oulburst was
the result of bull enthusiasm which had
at last broken loose in real earnest and
was well backed up by outside support.
There was lot of short stuff covered
and good amount OF switching done.
May opened 21sc higher at 6534c, sold
up to 65 c and pack to 65c
Corn and oats made quick responses to
the rise in wheat, but sustained a sharp
noon reaction

Investigation.


Investigation.
Miss Lou Williams, who used to be a
waiter at the Dutton house, and was more
recently assistant matron at the state
penitentiary. was on the witness stand

penitentiary May /. Between the time
time she left the Dutton and going to the
penitentiary she said she visited with
a Mrs. Harkness, 1907 Tracey avenue,
Kansas City.
She denied that Warden Chase had
ever taken liberties with her, and said he
never kissed her. She denied the bath
room incident told so graphically by
Miss Matthews, in which it was said
Miss Williams appeared dressed in a
skirt only.
She said the warden visited her room
three or four times a week when he
wanted to see her on business of the in
stitution. They went to her room be-
cause there were no chairs in the hall
and there was no reception room.
Miss Williams denied ever having
been in disreputable resort and gave
the names of the families she has stayed
with since leaving the penitentiary.
She said she is now employed at Mil
Ier's restaurant in Kansas City, Kansas,
in a position she secured through an
intelligence office.
Philip Mullens, travelling man for
Armour's Packing company, was on the
stand this afternoon, and Mrs. S. w.

DROUTH BEAT COL YEALE.
S. Government Takes Judgment
Against Him For 100000.

U. S. Government Takes Judgment
Against Him For 100000.
Judgment was taken by default in the
United States district court today,
against Col Geo. w. Veale aud Walter
Veale and w. II. Caldwell, his sureties, for
nearly $1,000, in favor of the government
In 1890 Col Veale took nine contracts
for furnishing feed to the government
military post at Ft Riley. There was
fine prospect for crops of all kinds and
so the contract price was not high, but
high enough to make nice sum for the
contractors on the basis of abundant
crops.
But suddenly it quit raining and for
months no rain fell adequate to supply
the necessary moisture Crops dried up
aud in the fall feed was enormously high
and Col Veale found it impossible to
comply with his contract with the gov
ernment without great loss. The feed
WAS bought elsewhere and suit was COM
menced to recover the difference.

question, General Harrison said: s'Now l
say to you today what 1 said when I was

ey and free coinage of silver upon a basis
to be agreed upon that would maintain
its parity with gold was good for the
whole world.
81 do not believe that we could run free
coinage ourselves when the European
governments were pursuing the policy
that they have been pursuing with sill

in Germany that they are feeling the ef-
fects of scarcity of gold and its pros
trating effects upon the industries"
