WOMAN DIES OF srAKvAr1os.

Her Baby Found Tugging at the Breast OF
the Dead Mother.
Fort SCoTT. March 25.-Friendless
and alone, neglected and without the
plain necessities of life, Mrs. Matte
Wells died at the place she called home,
GIT Burk street, about 9 o'clock Satur-
day evening.
A few minutes before her death C. F.
Clark and Lee Wallace, two young men
who claimed they had known her for
several years, called to see her. Finding
her in very serious condition and learn
ing that she had been sick and out of
provisions for some time. Clark started to
secure assistance, while Wallace went
after oil for the lamp and some provi-
sions for the destitute woman.
Clark called on several of the neigh
bors and appealed to them in the name
of humanity to come to the bedside of
the sick woman, but no oce responded,
and the young man returned alone only
to find that earthly assistance was not
needed Clinging to the lifeless body
was little baby trying in vain to get d
response from the lips now cold in death.
Mr. Clark at once informed the neigh
bors whom he had but few minutes be-
fore implored to come to the house, that
the woman was dead, and messenger
was at once dispatched for the police.
The baby was taken by Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed Ball, who took pity on the friendless
little creature.
From the neighbors it was learned that
she had been sick for several days with
pneumonia fever, which was no doubt
caused by lack of proper care, food, and
clothing. she was about "a years of age

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

CdlCAGO LETTER.
Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room 8, Columbian Building.
Wheat opened firm with an advance
of &c over Saturdays closing, caused by
good cash demands, firmer cables and
good export demand. New Workers
were surprised this morning to find all
their offerings by cable Saturday ac
cepted. The rain that was predicted for
the winter wheat belt did not materialize
and crop damage reports are coming il
freely and no one cares to go short at
these low prices in the face of these bull
ish conditions.
Cables were firm all around and the
visible supply decreased twice as much
as expected
The Cincinnati Price Current says
the government estimates of only
90 million bushels of wheat in farmers
| hands is correct. judging from reports
from their correspondents. The situa,
ton looks very strong and everything
points to much higher prices.
Corn opened firm at about Saturdays
closing and advanced steadily during the
entire session, closing strong and at the
| top. 1t is not necessary to repeat the
| fact that we think that corn is on the
eve of a big advance. The situation is
very bullish and we look for q fancy
deal in 1t before May lst Any decline
is met with good buying orders.
Oats are firm, sharing fluctuations in
corn and as corn is purchased SO are oats
Provisions opened firm and higher all
around. An immense amount of pork
was dumped on the market by longs TAX
ing profits. but all offerings were quickly
absorbed by the Armour crowd, who ara
reported to be buying everything il
sight. If this strength and good feel
! ing lasts little while longer, we shall
soon see $24 pork, and advise buying i

The Man Who Hung the HilImon Jury
Went to Sleep.

The Man Who Hung the HilImon Jury
Went to Sleep.
The members of the Hillmon jury tell
q good story about Joseph Young, the
man who hung the jury. They say that
Young was the most inattentive man of
the lot and that on several occasions he
went to sleep while the trial was in pro-
gress.
w. E. Dennison, brother of Senator
Dennison sat next to Young in the back
row. Young was the last man in the row
on the west. On one occasion Young
seemed to be sleeping very soundly when
Dennison reached over the sleeping
juryman and took his watch from his
pocket. He then unscrewed the watch
from the chain and slipped it into his
pocket without awakening Young.
When Young reached the hotel he
missed his watch and at once concluded
that he had been robbed. He was greatly
surprised when Dennison handed him
the missing watch. Sand that is the
man who hung the jury SAID McGhe.
Draw your own conclusions"
Mrs. Hillmon wanted the jury to go to
photograph gallery az she was anxious
60 have their photographs. II have the
pictures of all the other iurymen who
sat in the case when it was tried before
and l want this. I want the eleven men
with one vacant chair. l do not want
Young's picture among the rest"

ures as nearly all the jurymen left for
home by the earliest trains.

Assured-Otner Sporting News.


Assured-Otler Sporting News.
The prospect for Kansas baseball
league looks more promising today than
ever. Fl. T. Mote, the promoter of the
enterprise is beginning to hear from the
other Kansas teams, and the responses
as ID rule are encouraging. Mr.. Mote
will probably make circuit of the towns
interested this week and do some hust-
ling in person. MIR. Mote promises two
games in Topeka on decoration day.
Abilene is the only one of the towns
that shows disposition to stay out.
County Treasurer c. Fl. Pattison of
Abilene with whom Mote has correspond
ed, writes that Abilene has no enclosed
park suitable for paid games, and he
fears that the preparation of such
a park, together with a salaried team,
would be luxury out of Abilene's reach.
He suggested that Manhattan might be
more favorably located and better able
to bear share of the league burdens.
= Frank Randolph of Emporia writes
encouragingly OF the base ball prospect
there. Advices from St. Joe are more
than encouraging. j. H. Hartman of
Salina says that his town might be "out-
cIassed" with big cities like Topeka and
St. Joe, but he thinks the local enthus-
lasts of the game will respond literally.
Leavenworth and Lawrence have not
been authoritatively heard from, but these
two towns are looked upon as the ''sur-
est in the league.
