On our inside pages will be found
full particulars of the caging of a
horse thief. He was brought to
town by J. W. Twyman, of Sumner
township last Thursday. The county
attorney was then about taking the
train for the soldiers reunion at
Corbin and told Mr.. Twyman that
he could not investigate the case and
prepare the papers before Monday,
asking him to come in on that day.
Mr.. Twyman came in Monday
morning and was astounded to learn
that he had been turned loose Sun
day. Mr.. Twyman was not at all
pleased by this action, as he uu-
doubleday had conclusive proof that
this young man had all plans laid to
run away with his horse and buggy
and neighbours horse which was a
match for his. The scheme was
only thwarted by an accident, the
hired hand coming home in time to
discover the arrangements. He was,
however, in entire ignorance of who
the guilty party was until they
covered the young man and made
him break open and read the letter
mentioned which outlined the plan
OF getting away with the team exact
ly as the circumstances and plans
were laid. His detention would no
doubt have unearthed whole gang
of robbers, and the VOICE is unable
to divine the motives of the county
attorney in turning him loose. We
have heard it said that the county
attorney and sheriff might have re-
ceived a pretty good Doodle fee. 1t
is at least in order for them to ex-
plain.

The killing OF Gust Mauer in the
Topeka asylum was investigated
Monday and Tuesday and it de-
velops that he was killed by an in
sane patient in whose care he had
been left. Dr., Eastman, the superin-
tendent testified that Mauer was sub.
jeet to appoplexy and that he attri-
buted his death to that cause with
out making a careful examination.

Judge Reed, the Republican
nominee for judge in Sedgwick
county got sick mighty quick after
Judge Dale was nominated by the
Pops. He has declined the race
and says he has formed a lucrative
partnership for the practice of law
in Chicago. The Eagle suggests
however, that the name of the firm is
not given. The prospects for great
victory over the Republicans in
Sedewick are very promising.

We presume the Mail, under
that heading, did not care to speak
of anything but "Populist Rotten

There is a breath OF relief about
the way the County Central Com
mittee at Guthrie, O. T., sets down
on fellows who betray the cause.
The county commissioners whe voted
the county printing to the Guthrie
Leader justto spite the only Populist
paper there, the Representative by
Leo Vincent, were tried, convicted
and censured. The committee also
gave S. c. Whitman, who is well
known to the people Of Sumner
county as the publisher of the old
Industrial Age, and who had hand
in the nefarious deal heretofore
mentioned, the following shot:
Be it resolved by the County Gen.
trail Committee of the Peoples party
Of Logan county, Oklahoma territory:
That one S. C. whitman is not recog-
nized by the members Of the Peoples

The Mail printed story few
weeks ago about State Printer Snow
having defrauded the state out of a
lot of money by selling supreme
court reports. The matter came up
before Judge Hazen at Topeka last
week who found that instead OF
Shows cheating the state, the state
actually owed him $40.

The associated press heralded the
report that Pullman had raised the
wages Of his employees. 1t turns
out that the raise was no raise at all.
He just permitted them to work
more hours at the same old cut rates.
This shows in whose hands the as
sociated press has fallen.

1t seems unfortunate that the Mail
should have published the statement
last Friday that the horse thief in
limbo had made $685. in this
country. 1t seems to have given the
county attorney and sheriff's office a
pointer.

RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING.
The Crowd of Old Soldiers at the To.
peka Pension Office Grows
Smaller.
Topeka Mail.

Topeka Mail.
On first thought, one would have
jumped TO the conclusion, last Monday
morning, that a run was to be commenced
GA the Topeka banks; but Oh looking
over the crowds lining the sidewalks and
waiting for the banks to open. it was
easy TO perceive why they were there.
Gray whiskers, crippled limbs and brass
buttons told the story; it was pension
day,
There was the usual rush ut the
pension Office when il opened at 0 Clock
in the morning. but 1T was noticeable
that the rush was over sooner than usual.
Either the pensioners are dying off very
fast, or are being suspended by the
wholesale, or the clerks are becoming
more efficient in handling the vouchers.
Usually the corridors leading TO the
pension office are crowded during the
forenoon and pensioners are obliged to
wait from half hour to one hour for
their checks. Last Monday the rush
was over before 10 o'clock and "A fifteen
minute wait was sufficient after that.
1t is a study 10 view the crowd that
assemblies there each quarterly pension
day; they look older and are getting
more feeble and warped ont of shape
every time they appear. They know
each other now and hold little reunions
in the corridors every time they meet.
Time is fast placing Its imprint upon
them. and the number that congregates
there pension day must necessarily grow
less from now on.

One Million New Settlers.

The Topeka Capitol says of the move
70 draw one million new settlers to Kan
sas:
In order to properly advertise the adj
yantages of this state in the east and
teach the people by vivid object lesson
what has been done this year. it is
proposed to load a train OF twenty-five
ears with Kansas fruits. vegetables.
grains. and cereals, mineral products and
everything peculiar 10 This state and
send it out on a tour of the middle and
eastern states. The train will be placed
in charge of a competent man and ac-
cOmpanied by representative Kansans
who are good speakers and can explain
the advantages offered settlers in this
state at each point where stop is made.
After wide tour of the east final stop
will be made in New York City, where,
at the close of the exhibition the cargo
of twenty-five cars, or 300 tons of Kan
sas products will be donated to the poor.
The train will be composed of pas
senger coaches, from which the seats
will be removed and the space filled with
tables and shelving on which grain,
fruit, grasses, ETC., can be displayed to
the best advantage. Five cars of fruit
will be part of the display on the eX-
position train, which it is designed to
have leave for the east some time in
October, after all the crops shall have
been harvested. 1t will be ''campaign
of education" almost without precedent
in the history of western settlement.

The Outlook.

Missouri and Kansas look forward to
the approaching fail with feelings which
cannot be contained within the narrow
confines of the two states. The feelings
referred to are too expanding, too full of
pride and hope, for circumscriptiOn or
restraint this side the horizon. There
is sure to be wonderful influx of new
citizens into each of the states this fall
and the efforts to bring this about are
being made with such vigOr and enthusi-
assn that they are bound to succeed.
Missouri is to be ION wheels and the
resources Of the state are to be on parade
throughout the country through the
medium of the missouri on Wheels
enterprise.
\ similar effort is being made by the
people of Kansas in connection with the
organization of Million Clubs. Kansas
has got rid of the ''wheels'' that have
been buzzing within her for the past
few years and is going to try some out
side wheel work. to apply the wheel
cure externally, as it were. Arrange
ments are being made to send great
train of Kansas products on trip through
the East and finally donate the exhibit

downtrodden Kansas farmer contributing
to the relief Of plutocratic New York.
The efforts Of the two states should be
made in harmony. They will be mutual
ly effective. Kansas and Missouri are
the center of the great commercial en-
pire of the Southwest. The upbuilding
Of either state will rebound to the pros
perity of the other. Both look forward
to the coming autumn as season of
prosperity and plenty. The cornucopia
of abundance is tilted this way at least
and instead Of watching the approach of
winter with apprehension. the people
of the two states hail it as a season of
rest from the labors of a mighty harvest.

who visited Tulsa last week, related the
following good story of one of his ex.
peiiences. He was driving through the
country one day. and came upon an old
negro blowing with a lazy mule in a

mule along. saying:
''Git up dar Pete, git mp. you lazy ho,m.

some fun, the captain halted his team
and throwing his voice into the mules
esouth, said: ''Oh!I can't git up. I'm
too durn tired.' The old darkey drop
ped his lines and looking wildly around
said "Huh:''
Il said I'm too durn tired to git up''
replied the mule. The asronished darkev
did not wait to hear any more, bnt with a
frightened, 'Lawd hab mussy' he took
to his heels, and crossed that cornfield
hitting only the high places.-Tuisa Q.T.)

New York, and has already won fo7
himself the reputation of being al
Artist of skill and ability. He ha.
taught in this city for two years. Hi
pupils and the public regard him al
being christian gentleman, and 6
teacher of more than ordinary talen,
and ability.
Mrs. Ida Reynolds, of the De-
partment of Stenography and Type
writing, had that department last
year, and is one of the best teachers
We ever knew. She is thoroughly
competent and her ability to impart
information is very unusual.
Mrs. E. 7. Vaughan, who has
charge of the Piano, is sufficiently
well known to need no introduction
to the musicians in this community,
but for those who do not know her
we may say she has enjoyed the best
musical advantages in America, and
as teacher, has few if any, superiors.
She will be Preceptress during the
coming year, and will make the home
life in the Boarding Hall very pleas
ant for all connected with it. Her
past experience in college life, her
natural love for the society of young
people, and her special adaptation for
such position will insure the most
pleasant home life for boarders and
visitors.
Prof. G. K. Buckle, of the Depart
ment of Band, Orchestral and Vocal
Music, received his literary educa-
ton at Rio Grande College, and his
musical education in the Oberlin, CO.,
Conservatory of Music, from whence
he comes directly to us, with testimo-
malls as teacher of efficiency and
high grade. Under his leadership
students in that department will have
opportunities and advantages not be-
fore enjoyed in this part of the coun-
try.
Prof. W. A. Kleinstiber, who has
the Department of Telegraphy, is a
young gentleman of education and
christian character. He is well quail
fled for his work, and comes to it
with that love and zeal which in
sure success.
Miss Fannie +. Force, who has
been employed as Matron, rs lady
of the highest type of christian char
acter, very greatly admired and loved
by the young people who know her.
She is one of the best cooks we have
met in the west, and finds special de-
light in doing it. She will have en-
tire charge of the culinary depart
ment, and will furnish the best table |
she can for the money recei we'd, ($2
