A NECKLACE OF PINs.-A clever little

of safety-pins of silver, gold or nickel, and
as many of them as may be. The pins are

never over-supplied with safety pins, most
grateful of modern conveniences; so let
the necklace be long enough and it will

Sender of Internal Machines to Armour

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE coils are tight

mailed the Internal machines TO Messrs.
Pullman and Armour, and notified them
in advance in the hdpe of obtain
ing reward. He is believed
to be the same man who for
ten months has been sending threaten
ing letters to Mrs. P. D. Armour demand
ing $4,000 and who has successfully
eluded the watchfulness of some of the
best Chicago detectives. The identity
of the writer of the letters and the man
who mailed the Internal machines is
based on the similarity of the writing.
IN both instances, the writer disguised
his hand writing by printing his letters
with pencil instead of writing.
In written statement made by Owens
today he misspelled the words "Prairie"
and Contents" precisely as was done in
addressing the packages that caused his
arrest Owens kept billiard hall re-

HE HADN'T HEARD

Said to Exist in the Seventh
District

By the journal" Correspondent

Interest in Kansas.
UNTIL HE'S INFORMED

From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-If the stories
of opposition to Chester I. Longs re-
election have reached him he has given
them Judgement in some secret recess of
his heart. He processes to know moth
ing about any dissAtisfa ction with his
course, and if asked about this or that
complaint simply says, "Um, ali, ia that
so; l hadn't heard anything about it."
The report that "the fellows" out in
his district didn't like it because he
came to Washington right after he was
married and didn't lift his hand to help
in the campaign, wouldn't appear ever
to have reached the center of conscious
ness in his brain When asked about
such reports he only says SIS that SO. l
hadn't heard anything about it."
The chances are however that Mr..
Long has heard about these stories and
believes the best course is to not give
them dignity by noticing them.
The story was repeated to the congress
man from the Seventh district, that he
wanted a place on the foreign affairs
committee. so as to prepare the way for
a foreign appointment in the event of a
Repu blican administration at the end OF
his present term. Mr.. Long said:
"lnats strange. mere dId you see
that story? No, I hadn't heard of it.
have had no such intention. 1 am in
congress now, and will let the future
take care of itaelf. 1 shall do the best
can while here and accomplish as much
as possible What will be done after
wards the future will have to tell"
1t is a fact, however, that Mr. Long did
express his preference for the foreign
affairs committeeship and stuck to it
even after it was suggested by some of
the members that Kansas ought to have d
place on the public lands committee and
perhaps that would be more appropriate
The member of the Kansas delega-
ton who would naturally want to be on
the foreign affairs committee would be
Miller, who has charge of the Waller
case. But Mr.. Miller apparently yielded

Maud CrOwther, Handsome Ex-POsf-
mistress at Fort Riley, $1,000 Short
and Arrested.
Fort RILEY, Dec. 17.-Maud Crow
ther, ex- expenditures of Fort Riley, has
been arrested on a charge of robbing
the United States government. She is
alleged to have made away with about
$1,000 of Uncle Sans money.
Miss Crowther is a comely brunette, "a
years of age. She has a prepossesing
entertainer, is of a modest appearance
and withal shrewd. Her father kept
small grocery in the little Fort Riley viii
lage, and Maud was the belle of the
place. The local swains paid her de-
voted attention, but they were not in it
with the army officers stationed there,
and when Maud became candidate for
postmistress she found no trouble in
securing the place.
Last spring it was insinuated that the
handsome young Fort Riley postmistress
was neglecting her duties and allowing
the office to run itself in slip-shod man
ner. The government sent an inspector
to Fort Riley to examine into the post
office. About the same time Miss Crow
ther resigned. When the inspector
iQdu0 report u0 uaUo IL appear Luds
Miss Crowther was nearly 800 short in
her accounts.
The young woman was not arrested,
but the case was reported to United
States District Attorney w. e. Perry of
Kansas. There was no desire to institute
criminal proceedings against Miss Crow
thsr if possible. A settlement was talk
ed of, but was not made, and finally the
matter WAS laid before the United
States grand jury which met at
Leavenworth in October The evidence
tended to show that NJ ISIS Crowther was
d defaulter, and the result was that an
indictment was returned against her for
embszzling from the government while
acting as postmistress. There were two
counts in the indictment, one charging
her with embezzling 81, 100 and the other
alleging that she had mbezzled $500.
Capiases for Miss Crowther's arrest
were placed in the hands of United
States Marshal S. f. Nicely. She was
traced to Kansas City and as soon as
Deputy Marshal Haldeman made him
self known she admitted her identity,
and said she had expected to be arrested.
81 got a tip that you were close onmy
trail, and if you hadn't arrested me to-
day you would never have caught me-"
she said. 81 intended to leave the city
tonight"
She stated that the money was stolen
during her absence from the postofics.

WHAT THEY WILL GET.

Careful Surmises of the Committee Ap-
pointments of Kansas Members
From the State Journals Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-It is now
stated definitely that Speaker Reed will
announce his committees Thursday.
After that congress will probably imme-
diatelv adjourn for the Christmas recess.
The only chance Kansas has for a
chairmanship is on the Indian affairs
committee, for which Representative
Curtis friends were recommending him.
Mr. Curtis himself, however, has never
believed that he would get il, because it
belonged to Mr. Sherman of New York
by right of service
MIR. Curtis says he doesn't see very we'll
how he could be given the chairmanship,
as Mr Sherman is ahead of him on the
committee and has had eight years SER
vice.
Sherman's friends, however, are also
urging him for the chairmanship of the
District of Columbia committee, and
should this be done Curtis would. in all
probability, be given the Indian commit
tee. Mr. Curtis is known TO be a strong
friend of Speaker Reed, and the man
from Maine may conclude to remember
it.
1t is stated that Kirkpatrick is sure to
be placed on the invalid pensions COM
mlttee. This is the committee of which
Gov. Morrill, was chairman when in con-
gress Mr. kirkpatrick is making pen
sion matters his chief study and ex-
pressed a preference for this committee.
Miller will in all probability be placed
on the committee on postotfices and post
roads, which was his preference.
Calderhead's preference was banks
and banking; Blues, appropriations
l. Is probable that Long will be riyen
a place on public lands. His choice was
foreign affairs but as Kansas has much
more to do with public lands than for
eign affairs a place on that committee
may be considered moro appropriate.
Color is given to the story that Mr..
Long wanted to be on the foreign affairs
committee to prepare for a position
abroad in case Republicans should win
next year and the opposition in his dis
trict continue, by the fact that his wife is
accounted rich and has travelled abroad

Mr.. Hulick (Rep. Ohio) was quickly on

sion that has delayed the message on the
Venezuelan question"
There was a round of laughter and
applause from the Republican side of

There is the message on that table,"
proceeded Mr.. Crisp. sit lies unheeded

Both sides joined in the applause at

The Kansas Senator Has a Measure ts
Provide For Their Sale.
From the State Journals Special Cores spondent
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.---Senator Baker
has bill in the senate relating to the
sand hills" country in western Kansas.
1t provides that that part of the public
domain be sold to persons desiring to
purchase at a less rate than the re-
gulation government price of $1.25 per
acre. The sale mustbe made on the
proof by the purchaser that the land is
OF the sand hill kind. When this is done
the government has a price for such
lands which is almost merely nominal
with the requirement of some slight i'm
provements. The bill went to the CON-
mittee on public lands
