HUNTING HOLMES VICTIMS
The Search for the williams Girls Re-
sumed at Chicago.

The Search for the Williams Girls Re-
sumed at Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 22 - The search for
the bodies of the missing Williams girls
was resumed at the "Castle" of II. f.
Holmes, the suspected murderer, today,
and in a noosed rope stained dark about
the knot the police think they have made
an important discovery.
A body hanging from the moose would
just clear the floor at the bottom of the
shaft This coincidence convinced some
of the detectives that Holmes alleged
victims had been pushed through the up
stairs door to the dumb waiter and
strangleg to death in the shaft below.
The Holmes house in Sixty Third
street was surrounded by crowd of sew
eraI hundred curious people all day.
Several efforts were made by the throng
to carry the door with rush and get in,
but a strong guard of police kept all
sig htseers back.
DETROIT, Mich, July 22.-The search
for the missing Howard Pitzel, who is
supposed to have been murdered in De-
troit by Fl. II. Holmes, was resumed
here today by Detective Geyer of Phila-
delphia, aided by the local force.
a belief exists that the lady was killed
before arriving here, that the body was
brought to Detroit and destroyed or that
after digging the hole in the rear of the
Forest avenue house Holmes became
frightened and placed the body in q
trunk taking it with him to Canada.

NO MORE BALL GAMES.
TOpeka's Club Breaks Up and Players
Sign Elsewhere.


Topeka people have seen their last
league game for the summer The
Giants are no more. They concluded
today that it was useless to struggle
longer against fate, and now they are
far away.
An effort was made Saturday TO change
the management of the team and raise
money enough to finish the season, but
in vain. Mr.. Mote would not step down
and out, and those concerned would not
take hold while he remained manager.
MIR. Mote has managed the team as best
he knew. but the work of forming the
league and at the same time getting to-
gether a winning team in the short space
of time at his disposal after the scheme
was started this spring, was too much for
him. He has been far too lenient with
the players. and that accounts for great
deal of the listless playing seen here
this season.
Topeka's ideas Of base ball are up to
Western League playing, and when the
people went out and saw the muffng
matches in the beginning of the season
they never went back, although the team
was playing rattling ball just before they
went under.
The players do not feel very kindly
toward the city because the public did
not turn out when they were doing good
work and desired the publics apprecia-
tion and patronage.
The players have dispersed, some to
play with other clubs, while some have
quit the game temporarily and gone to
their homes. Left Fielder Beauchamp
and Third Baseman Jimmy Underwood
have signed with Independence, Kas., and
went there yesterday. Short Stop
Riester got a telegram this morn
ing to go to Independence and
left for there this afternoon. He
will pitch. First Baseman Conlin left
yesterday to join Dunn and Brunner in
Tecumseh, Neb., and he will catch for
the Tecumseh nine. Catcher King burg
and his brother, who is pitcher, have
gone to Usage City to play. Phil Myers
and Right Fielder and Catcher Heck
went to Circleville,a small town near Hol-
ton, to do the battery act for the locals
Roy Krebs, the fast center fielder OF
the late lamented, says he is tired OF
playing for nothing. and left for his home
in Atchison this afternoon. The Indian

The last place the party were heard
from is Grow Creek on Big Wind river,
42 miles from Fort Washakie
At the residence of Prof. Hatcher, who
is at the head of the expedition, Mrs.
Hatcher had heard nothing from her
husband in several days, and this fact
tended to confirm the report of his cap
ture by the Indians.
The expedition is similar to those sent

abounds. With this scientific purpose

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22.-P. P. E.
Pierce, father of S. E. Pierce, one of the

written at the mouth of Perry creek and
sixty miles from jackson Hole, where
the trouble is said to have occurred.
Young Pierce stated that the party
was about to start for the Yellowstone
through the Union pass. Gov. Richards
dispatch to the secretary of the interior
last week fixed the date of the figh'
as July 13. AS the students couIC
not have reached the locality

Hatcher is said to be experienced in In

safely.

Rain Has Greatly Damaged the Northern

CHICAGO, Ill, July GA special dis

The farmers of the region of Mime
sofa and North Dakota, conn mprising the
ten counties of the Red river valley. are
gloomy over the prospect A week ago
their wheat promised the greatest yield
ever known in this section. some placing
it as high as forty bushels to the acre,
but it has rained four days the last week
and the weather has been uniformly
cloudy and hot.
Smut and rust have developed in an
alarming degree. The region expected
to raise 100000 bushels of wheat. It
is now feared that thousands of acres of
wheat are utterly ruined.
Heavy rains falling for the last forty
eight hours at St. Vincent, Mimi, and
there are no prospects of its stopping.
All grain is fat on the ground and in
most cases will never rise owing to the
rank, heavy growth. Rust and smut are
seen in every field.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 22.-The re-
ports of smut and rust in Grand Forks
and Pembina counties, North Dakota,
are not serious enough to have become a
feature in the local trade. Smutted fields
have been found here and there. but the
great majority of the fields in the Red
River valley are in good condition, and
-. Ia further ard more detailed reports
from the territory affected are looked for,
there is little anxiety in the trade as yet.

STOOP TO CRIME.
Certain Men of LeavenwOrth
Charged With Conspiracy
To Wreck Governor MOrrilPs
Bank in That City,
If He Attempts to Enforce the
PrOhibitory Law.
THE STORY RELATED
By a Man Who Says He Is
Posted
And Knows What He Is Talking
About.
THE STORY RELATED

Governor E. n. Morrill, has not yet
taken any steps toward closing the sa-
looms in Leavenworth and the Leayen-
worth saloon men, it ia said, are not at
all afraid he will,
A gentleman who has a large &C
quaintance among Leavenworth business
men says
sit is well known that Governor Nor
rnl is president of the First National
bank of Leavenworth, one of the largest
financial Institutions OF that city.
The FIRST National bank has a capital
stock of 100000. Governor Morrill, owns
$50, 600 worth of that stock. OF the 9TH
er half a small per cent is held by Leav-
enworth business men. the rest being
owned by eastern capitalists.
ga large proportion of the depositors
of the First National bank are saloon
men, wholesale liquor dealers and
merchants. who are in sympathy with the
saloon element
"These depositors have, it is charged,
entered into an agreement by which they
propose to wreck the First National
bank the day Governor Morrill, issues
orders to the Leavenworth police COM
m:ssioners to close the saloons
1.-The details of this compact have not
been made public. but it is said that
these depositors have notified Governor
Morrill, of their intentions and have
warned him that if he causes the saloons
of that town to be closed he must take
the consequences.
"The liquor men have, it is said. so ar
ranged this affair that the local stock
holders of the bank will be prote oted
and that Governor Morrill, and his east
ern friends will be the heavy losers"
If such compact has been made by
business men of Leavenworth, it is the
most nefarious and scoundrelly affair
ever known in this state; every man
who has entered into such an agreement
ought to be liable for conspiracy
The governor will have the active
sympathy of every decent citizen of
Kansas in fight with such men.
1t can be easily seen that the governor
would hesitate before bringing such d
financial disaster upon himself. and al
though it is his duty to enforce the law
at Leavenworth, as everywhere else, the
governor is no more than human There
is only one honorable course open to
him, and that is to dispose of his stock
in the Lsavenworth bank and then en-
force the law to its extremity Such das
tardIy "business men" as would enter
into such an agreement as the one de-
scribed ought to be punished
