NO LONGER A FUGITIVE
Bob Nightingale Gives Himself Up to the
Police and Wants to Reform.

Bob Nightingale Gives Himself Up to the
Police and Wants to Reform.
The police have been looking for Bob
Nightingale for nearly two months, and
they were naturally surprised when he
walked into the police headquarters last
night and gave himself up. He was
booked as Fugitive from justice" and
today was transferred to the county Jail
When the grand jury was in session last
November, Nightingale was indicted for
forgery. He had stolen his fathers San
ia Fe pay check. and forging his name to
it, cashed it and skipped town. The
officers were after him when the news
came that Nightingale was under arrest
at Winfield for grand larceny. He was
sentenced to six months in jail.
On the night of March %, before his
sentence was half expired, there was a
jail delivery at Winfield in which several
prisoners escaped, Nightingale among
them. He told the police that since his
escape from prison he had been in st.
Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, and other big
towns, but declared that he was tired of
being hunted, and proposed to serve his
sentence and reform.
Nightingale will probably be returned
to Winfield.
Bob Nightingale is a graduate of the
notorious Fort street gang" in Topeka,
and few years ago was reckoned as
one of the town bad boys.

AMERICAN COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
LONDON, May g. --Mendal Howard, an
American citizen who was arrested
here on April 90 on the charge of hav-
ing in his possession a number of en-
graved plates and other material for
forging notes and postage stamps, was

tensive forging of American postage

G. M. Chase Had an Exciting Experience
With One This Week.
G. n. Chase the shoe merchant living
on Topeka avenue near Tenth street had
an encounter with a burglar one night
this week. He was awakened in the
night by the sound of some one prowling
in his room, and as there was
strong odor of chloroform Mr.. Chase
thinks the burglar had intended to
chloroform him. Calling to his son, Mr..
Chase leaped from bed and ran after the
intruder down stairs and out of the
house. The front door was standing
open. In order to get into the house the
robber had gone through three doors,
breaking lattice door. cutting a hole in
the screen door and picking the lock of
the inner door. A search showed that
nothing was taken except So so
Last Sunday night also burglars en- e
tered the house of T. B. Mayo on Polk
street, opposite Bethany college. They
secured nothing but few dollars.

RUNAWAYS TAKEN HOME.
The Two Runaway Boys from Abilene
Are Returned to Their Parents.

Lorenzo Brown of Abilene. the father
of one of the two runaway boys who
have been held at the city prison for
three days, arrived in Topeka this week
and took the boys back with him this
afternoon.
Mr.. Brown said that the boys both had
good homes and were well treated, but
they had merely given away to those i'm
pulses which occur in the life of every
boy to GO forth and "seek his fortunes"
and do great things.
The boys names were David and
Lorenzo Brown, both fifteen years old.
They are cousins and live near each
other. The father of David is a miller
and the others is a farmer. When ar
rested they had a small revolver each,
with several hundred rounds of ammuni-
ton, and plenty of novels to read, to-
gether with few efforts at poetry,
written by Lorenzo Brown, on the de-
lights of going swimming in June. -

WASHINGTON, May 9.-ConsiderabIe
comment is held here on the fact that
ex-Speaker Crisp appears to be hedging
a bit on the silver question. His late in

talks of week or two ago.
1t is we'll known to Mr.. Crisp's friends
that in private conversation he expresses
the same view as entertained by the
president "If we have good times the
silver agitation will not make much

it from sweeping the country"

Oxygen is no longer single ele-
ment. but the admixtu-e of two dis
tinct gases. So at least says Mr.. e. G.
Baly. of University college. to the Roy
al society. in preliminary note Of his
experiments. If oxygen be submitted
to the silent electric discharge the gas
collecting at the negative pole differs
in density from oxygen before electri-
fcation, and the density is greater or
less according as short or long SPARKS
are used. The inference is that oxy-
gen contains two gases Of dissimilar
molecules which are separated by the
electric discharge.
