BRADY'S GEORGIA WIFE.
The Oklahoma KIdnaper Has Trouble
With Her at Atlanta.


ATLANTA, Ga, June 1O.-Pauline Brad
ley, the beautiful Atlanta girl who has
been posing as a "Trilby" model in the
studios OF New York and in the living
pictures, is having her marital troubles
Miss Bradley in her private life is Mrs
Z. II. Brady, and her husband is the son
OF one of Atlanta's most prominent busi-
ness men.
1t was Henry Brady who was the CEN
trail figure in recent kidnapping in Okla
homa, when officials. after failing to
secure him through the courts, grabbed
him bodily and rushed him across the
border.
He is back here now, but all his efforts
to see his wife, who is also here, have
proved unavaiIing. Mrs. Brady is out in
an interview, in which she states that
the divorce proceedings which she began
have been withdrawn, because she
doesn't propose to give her husband the
freedom he seems to wish. Brady's
father is 7. B. Brady. a wealthy commits
sion man.
1t is said that he objected strongly to
his sons wife, aud after she had gone on
the stage he gave the boy money to go
out west. Miss Bradley says that she
had to 60 on the stage to support her
husband. She is a remarkably hand
some woman, whose figure is a fortune
SO long as the living picture craze lasts.

IT MEANS A SPLIT.
Democrats Will Divide if Silver
Men Triumph.
This is the Opinion of William
G. Whitney.
WON'T BEACANDIDATE
Will Not Make the Race for
President.
Says Democrats Must Stand for
Sound" Money.

Boston, June 10-Ex- Secretary of the
Navy VIM. C. Whitney was interviewed
at the home of his mother in Brooklyn
last night He said:
~ am not and will not be a presiden-
tial candidate. If the silver men should
carry the next Democratic convention 1t
will split the party. The Democrats
must stand for sound money. There are
good many sound money men in
the west and south and the Memphis
convention, think, has helped the cause
along. Carlisle's speech at the conven-
ton was an excellent one and deserves
TO be widely read. 1t has undoubtedly
had an influence in the south.
Il think the people will eventually
treat this question the same as they did
the greenback question. They want
sound money now just as much as they
did then"
Mr.. Whitney said he felt, however,
that the free silver question was likely
to assume the same proportions or even
greater ones than did the greenback
question. He intimated that an organ
lied educational movement was what
was necessary to counteract the spread
of the free silver craze.
Il don't think the Republicans will
care to reopen the tariff question again"
he 6alQ. "1nSy see tney WOuIQ
gain nothing by that The
money question will dominate everything
in the next campaign, unless there is a
radical change in sentiment within the
next year"
Mr. Whitney does not think any of the
eastern states will follow the Illinois
Democrats in the matter of calling a
state convention to consider the financial
question.
In answer to the question whether the
United States should continue to
build its navy as it has within the last
few years, Mr. Whitney said, Yes. but
l think what we should confine our at
tention to now, is the building of large
battleships of the very best type"
Mr.. w Whitney does not think the United
States could very we'll recognize the
Cuban insurgents as belligerents. When
ex-President Harrison's movements
in New York aud Philadelphia were
spoken of and reference was made to
the Depew dinner. Mr.. Whitney smiled
and said: YES it looks very much as if
ex-President Harrison were going after
the Republican nomination"
1t was suggested that there would
probably be hard work for him to do in
the next convention, and Mr.. Whitney
smiled as he said: "Well, shall be in
the struggle if there is an intellectual
one for sound money, you may be as
sured.

QUESTION OF THE DAMS.
The Matter Comes Before the City Coun-
Gil Tonight.

The Matter Comes Before the City Coun-
ell Tonight.
The principal thing which will come
before the council tonight will be the
consideration of the dam question.
The upper company filed their 100000
bond which is a guarantee that they will
commence work before July II, before
the last meeting of the connciI. 1t
was referred to the committee on
ways and means for investigation and
that committee will report tonight The
company has promised TO get at least two
responsible Topeka people on the bond
and if that is done at all it will be done
before this evening. and there will then
be no doubt about the approval of the
bond.
The question of whether the lower
company commenced work in good faith
may come before the council tonight,
but it is the general opinion that the
action of the council could make but lit
tie difference and if the question ever
came to issue it would have to be settled
by the courts.
There is no work being done on the
lower dam today, it is said, on account of
the rain which made it too muddy TO use

The Electric Light Works Pur-
chased by Cleveland Men.
The Plant Recently Declared a
4 Per Cent Dividend.
OWNED BYTHEBAKERS
Other Prominent TOpekans Had
Considerable Invested.
Other Brush Plants Being
Bought Up.

A deal was consummated today where
by the Brush electric light plant is sold
to capitalists of Cleveland, Ohio.
For week T. E. Burton, of Cleveland,
the legal representative of the Cleve-
land men, has been in Topeka.
Mr.. Burton started home today with
700 of the 1000 shares of stock. The
rest have been promised. The stock was
sold for 25 cents on the dollar, which
represents a trife less than the cost of
the plant. The $50 shares were owned
by several Topeka people and the bal
ance is scattered among numerous non
residents.
A promise of the balance has been
secured for the same figure that the rest
was purchased at
been operated in Topeka nine years, on
Jackson street between Seventh and
Eighth streets. The plant has never
been a very good money making con-
Germ. Within the last ninety days a
dividend of four per cent was declared,
but this dividend was the first in three
years The plant has made just a trifle
more than its expenses. Most of the
stock of the Brush plant was owned by
the "Baker family" F. P. Baker and his
sons, l N, n. r. and G. c. Baker P. L
bOu0 anu EOSOu O. D0Ck were d16O
large shareholders.
P. l. Bone brake said this afternoon
that the Brush plant had heretofore been
owned by more than fifty people. but
under oneman management it ought
to be made valuable paying property.
The real purchaser it is stated, is Cleve-
land banker by the name of Mr. Hazard
Mr. Bonebrake stated however that
Cleveland, Ohio, is the home of the
Brush light and that plants similar to
the one in Topeka were being purchased
by the same parties in many other cities
possibly with the intent of getting all OF
the Brush electric light plants under
one management
7. E. Burton, who has mana red the
deal, is con ngressmsn elect & om the
Cleveland district, having defeated Tom
Johnson, the iron king of that section
Mr.. Burton left for Ohio this week.
The rumor that the '1ower dam COM
pany was concerned in the transaction
is denied by all those concerned.

NO SUNDAY BASEBALL.
Sheriff Burdge Warns Manager Mote
Against Playing at VinewOOd.


Against Playing at VinewOOd.
There will be no Sunday base bali
games in Topeka or Shawnee county
this season.
Manager Mote had made arrange
ments for his ball tossers to play at
Vinewood park yesterday afternoon, but
the rain prevented the opening of the
game.
If the game had been played all of the
players would have been arrested under
q state law of which Sheriff David
Burdge is the guardian in this COM
munity.
Sheriff Burdge went out to Vinswood
park for the purpose of stopping the ball
game and arresting the players but he
met Manager Notes men coming back to
the city.
The sheriff told Manager Mote his in
tention to prohibit Sunday base ball and
his determination to arrest all who would
take part in Sunday games.
Manager Mote then promised the
sheriff that he would make no further
attempt to have Sunday games played in
this county.
The law under which Sheriff Burdge
acts is section 2399 of the general statutes
which reads:
Every person who shall be convicted
of horse racing, cock fighting or playing
at cards, or game of any kind on the first
day of the week, commonly called Sun
day, shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor and fined not exceeding $50"

PANTS FOR PLUMBER.

Two Instances in Which Trousers Were
Robbed Through Windows.
Two men had their trousers burglar
lied last night in North Topeka. One,
Albert Bollotte at 1884 North Quincy
street, had gone to bed and left his on
chair near an open window. The trous-
ers we're still there this morning but a
ring and $45 in cash which they had
contained were gone.
At 1908 North Madison A W. Cooley
had hung his too near the window and
during the night somebody reached in,
took them down, took Mr. Cooley's last
seventy five cents from them and hung
them carefully back again.

GOES TO JAIL TOMORROW.
Debs and His Associates VIII Be Put Be
hind Bars at Woodstock.


CHICAGO June 10.-Eugene " Debs
and the other officials of the American
Railway Union will be sent to the Wood
stock jail tomorrow. The certified copy
of the order of the supreme coart was
received here today and the United
States marshal was notified to return the
men to Jail.
The men under sentence of imprison-
ment are: E. V. Debs, G. w. Howard, 8.
Keliher, L W. Rogers, James Hogan, W.
E. Burns. R. nj. Goodwin and Martin
Elliott. There is a question as to the
time the men will serve. The original
sentence was six months for Debs and
three months for his associates in two
different contempt cases, the sentence
being made concurrent by the court.
The defendants attorneys later had
the sentence made cumulative in order
to take desired legal action and the
time to be served by the prisoners is cor
rectly matter of dispute. 1t is thought
proba BILE however that an effort will be
made to have Judge Wood reinstate the
concurrent sentence.

missionary Society Officers 10th to Believe
the Report of Massacre.
NEW YORK, June 1O.-Ths officials of
the Methodist missionary society in this
city are very hopeful that the report of a
massacre of the missionaries at Cheng
Tu has been exaggerated.
DR.. Stephen J. Baldwin, the secretary
said: 81 do not think that these
rumors are subsequent to assurances we
received by cable from our mission in
Cheng Tu under date of June 3. The
cable read:
"'Property destroyed, all safe, inform
Toronto"
This would indicate that all our peo-
pie are safe although the property has
been destroyed"
The missionaries who are at Cheng Tu
are Rev. II. Olin Cady and
his wife, F. L Cartwright, M.
D., and wife. Rev. J. F. Peat and
wife, Rev. J. o. Cunow and wife, Rev.

Himself Wealthy.
NEW YORK, June 1O-A special TO the
World from Montgomery, Ala, Bays:
A letter from San Francisco addressed
to "Mrs. T. NJ. Allen, Admission, Ala"
d remarkable story.
Twenty years ago, T. NJ. Allen, Cal
houn county farmer, went west to better
his condition, leaving his wife and four
children at home. He finally settled
in San Francisco. For two years his
wife heard regularly from him and his
letters said that he was prOspering and
intended to remove his family there.
Suddenly the letters ceased. His wife
wrote to the San Francisco authorities
and received word that her husband had
been murdered and robbed.
The letter just received states that
Allen is not dead, but that he was as
saulted by robbers some eighteen years
ago and so seriously injured about the
head that he lost his reason, since which
time he has been confined in hospital
with no recollection whatever of his
name or of his past Recently his con-
dition has materially improved and now
he has almost recovered and the letter is
written at his instance.
It appears also that just before his
misfortune he puI chased several acres
of land near San Francisco, and that
since then the land has been taken in
the city and now contains several blocks
of handsome store buildings valued at
$14O0O,oOO.
Allen has three children living, Mrs.
DR.. A 7. Acton and Mrs. M. L. Garret of
of Animation, and w. II. Allen of Florida.

BARNES. Kas.. June 10.-Since the edict
state house a saloon has opened up in
Barnes, in the building formerly occu-'

fellow rented the building for restau-

to enable him to get his hellish business
started.
Two weeks have now passed and the
prosecuting committee" appointed by
the people to look after just such cases
as this one have their hands tied with
fear that they will lose ten cents worth
of trade, while the joint runs wide open
in defiance of all law and order.

It Was Impossible to Protect Them
Against Fierce Inland People.
WASHINGTON, June 10-The Chinese
legation has received no information as
to the reported massacre of American
missionaries in Cheng Tu and strong
hopes are entertained that the affair may
be less serious than the meagre reports
indicate. Cheng Tu is a large city in
the interior of China. The missionaries
are the only foreigners who have here
tofore settled in Cheng Tu.
1t is said that the emperor of China
and the Using Ii Yamen have given
every possible protection to the mis-
sionaries, although it has been found
impossible to guard against mob vio-
lence, particularly at remote interior
points. Missionaries were warned, but
their zeal took them inland.
