DEADLY ASSAULT.
Made on the State President Of
the A. p. A.
1t Kansas City, at Eleven
O'Clock Last Night.
NOT FOUND TILL 5 A. III.
Was Struck on the Head and
Stabbed.
The Official Is In a Serious
State and May Die.

Kanss City, Sept. IA ]. Dearborn,
state president of the A. P. A, was
found lying in the street near his home
at 5 o'clock this morning, unconscious
from wounds inflicted by an as yet un-
known assailant. Besides being badly
battered about the head, Dearborn had
suffered a stab wound. Doctors have
not yet decided what the effect of the
wounds will be. Dearborn was evil
IDENTIFY assaulted in the night while go
ing home. No cause for the act is
known.
At 9 o'clock Dearborn regained con-
sciousness long enough to relate the
manner Of the attack. 1t appears that
he was assaulted at11 O'clockla night
as he was returning home alone by
man who jumped out from dark al
ley and struck him on the forehead
with a blunt instrument. The blow
sent him to the ground, when the as
sailant, drawing a dagger, stabbed the
PROSTATE man three times in the re-
gion of the heart.
Then, believing him to be dead, Dear
born was thrown over the fence into
an adjacent yard He soon lost con-
sciousness and ws not discovered until
early this morning, after having lain
in the wet grass for six hours. An ex-
animation of his wounds showed that
the dagger stabs were not serious but
that the blow on the head might result
in cOncussion of the brain and prove
fatal. Soon after relating the facts as
given, Dearborn lapsed into uncon-
sciousness without having given des-
criptiOn of his assailant
The police profess to believe that the
purpose of the attack was not robbery.
but was instigated by some one op-
posed to the A. P. A. doctrines, which
Dearborn has so earnestly advocated.
None of his money or valuables was
missing.

NAPOLEON'S HAIR IN KAN.
Abilene Florist Possesses a Lock of
Hair of the Little Corporal

Abilene, Sept. IA curious relic has
come to light here in the possession of
G. H. Bagley, a florist, in lock of the
hair of the first Napoleon. 1t is Of un-
doubted authenticity, and is probably
the only bit Of the dead emperor now
on this continent. Mr.. Bagley is a ma
tive of the Island of st. Helena, and
his family has lived there for genera
tions His father was captain Of the
tomb for Is years preceding the re-
moval of the remains of the emperor to
France.
His mother was a friend of Mrs.
Lowd, the nurse of Napoleon in his
last illness, and when the Bagley fam
ily left the island in 1860 she divided
with her friend the choicest of her pos
sessions. She had cut the lock from the
head of the emperor on the night when
he was lying in state after he had been
dressed for burial. It was done with
the consent of Gen. Bartrand out of re-
spect for the attention the nurse had
shown her distinguished patient
About 80 hairs are in the lock, black
with a brownish tinge, and they are
sealed in a bottle.
Along with them is a bit of plaster
from the room in which the emperor
died and a piece of the coffin in which
he lay. Mortar from the tomb and
tiny bit of wood from the willow tree
that so long wept over the grave are
II years old when he left the island.
have made affidavit to the conditions
under which the lock came into the
family, and this document is filed with
relics

trying to refute the charges made, de-
MED the ocular testimony of the repre-
sent8tiVes of the powers, and this is
now, with good reason, regarded as tan
tamount to a defiance of Europe.
AS usual the porte is relying upon
the jealousies existing among the six
powers to save the sultan once more,
and at the last moment, from being
brought to terms, and as Abdul Hamid
has so frequently escaped punishment
during the course of his long and much
troubled reign, it has grounds for be-
lieving that even now Europe will not
step in and put an end to the disgrace
full conditions prevailing in the Turk
ish empire.
News from Armenia shows that a
very serious condition prevails there
and that further maSSacres are antici-
pated. It is true that the sultan has
caused all the governors to be notified
that they will be held responsible if
outbreaks involving the destruction of
property and the loss of life occur. But
such warnings have frequently been is
sued in the past and they seem to have
served more to create disorder than to
suppress it, and this would seem to be
the case in the present instance, for,
while warning the governors, as already
stated, the soldiers have been notified
that they are authorized to use their
arms in self-defenSe if they are attack
ed Thus the Armenians and others
look upon these orders of the Turkish
government as little less than a notIfi-
cation to the provincial authorities that
they are to take the most rigorous
measures in suppressing the Armenians
if the latter take any part in demon
strations" and those who know the
Turks are we'll aware that the latter
can provoke such constructions at the
shortest possible notice They have
frequently done so in the past and are
not unlikely to do so again in the near
future.
The representatives Of the powers met
again today and discussed the situa-
ton, but it is not known that they came
to any decision, although cOmmunica-
tions with their respective governments
are being constantly exchanged.

STARTED ABOUT NOTHING.
A Fight at the Open Air Sixth Street
Financial School

There was a small sized riot at the
Sixth street financial school just after
noon today. The presence of Omcer
Ball put a stop to hosdlities and no one
was hurt.
''GoId Bug Pease of Colorado was
standing on the sidewalk near the curb
making one of his oratiOns- Sudden
" some one standing behind the speaker
pushed Jack Henry, a 16-year-old boy,
against him. Pease with his cane
iabbed the boy in the stomach. Then
young Henry struck Pease and pushed
him off the walk. He made an effort
to raise his cane again, but the boy
grabbed it and the two were tussling
for possession of the cane when the po-
Hceman arrived
Things had commenced to look dan
gerous There were clenched fists and
curses and had the officer not come
when he did there would have been a
free for all fight between the adherents
of Pease and those of the boy.
Pease said that he did not intend to
strike the boy with his cane.

COUNTING ON MAINE.
Chairman Manley Figures on 2o,-
600 Republican Majority.

600 Republican Majority.
Boston, Sept. IA signed statement
has been given out by Chairman Man
ley on the Maine campaign. Maine
votes on Monday. Mr.. Manley says:
1.-The campaign in Maine which clos
es this week, has been the most import
ant and the most vigorously fought
campaign since 1860. It is we'll to keep
in mind what has occurred in Maine in
the way of Republican majOrities, in
Guiding 1860 and since, in order to more
properly appreciate the result of the
election on Monday.
IN 1872, at the September election,
the Republican majority was 16, 545; in
1876 it was 15,4 444; in 1880 the state went
against the Republican party by a ma
jority of 1856. In 1884, under the stimu-
lus of the great leadership of James G.
Blaine, the Republican party reached
high-water mark, and gave a major
ity of 1908. In 1892 it's majority was
Il, SOB. Thus it will be seen that we
have never in any presidential year at
the September election given 10000 ma
jority, and if we exceed that majority
on Monday next it will be an unprece-
dented victory.
1T is true that two years ago the Re
publican majority was SO 600, but in that
6lGCdOn. the OeI1OCTallC party uloue no
canvass, made no campaign and only
50-per cent of its vote was cast
IF it is a pleasant day the Republic
cans expect to throw $4,000 votes on
Monday next. The combined opposition
cannot throw 10000, and the Repubn-
can majority which Governor Powers
will receive over Mr.. Frank will be the
largest Republican majority ever given

NAT GOODWIN'S NEW FUSS.
His Leading Lady Leaves on Account
of Maxine Elliott.

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-As the result
of his infatuation for Maxine Elliot,
whom he met at a Bohemian club din
ner here, Nat Goodwin has lost his
leading lady, Blanche Walsh, and the
latter actress is now homeward bound
from the antipodes, whence she sailed
on August 27.
It appears that Miss Walsh took ex-
ception to the actions of the susceptible
Nat Goodwin in billing the fair Maxine
as THE new American beauty and
leading LADY, long before the arrival of
that oX-eYed beauty.

Thefts in the City Jail

Thieves do not hesitate to invade the
very jail walls themselves, as Street
Commissioner Ramsey knows to his
sorrow. The enclosure at the city jail
is used as a storage place for the tools
used by the street force. In a strong
box which is nearly always locked the
edge tools are kept. Recently it be-
came necessary to paint the box and
the lid was left open an hour or two
to allow the paint on the inside of the
lid to dry. When the commissioner
came to lock the box he found that sew
eral of the fine tools had been taken.
He has no clue to the thieves.

PANAMA BELLS IN CINCINNATI.
Tnroo Hundred Years Have Vanished
since They Wore Cast.

Tthroo Hundred Years Have Vanished
Since They Wore Cast
Two old and remarkable bells have
just been received by the Cincinnati
Bell foundry company from Panama,
South America, Gays the Cincinnati En-
qirer.
The gentleman who shipped them
from Panama states in a letter that
these bells have an interesting history,
The letter reads;
You might desire to know something
OF these two old bells sent you outside
Of commercial value. The small one
YVES cast in the year 1900 and the large
one In 1920, They have been useless
as bells for years but have served to
carry back the thoughts Of the Spanish
populace here to the old days when this
&C 'inct was not so great and so
thickly populated as at present.
Il am sorry that public spirit was not
OF sufficient character to keep them
as relic Of the days when our fore
fathers fought with the natives and the
wild animals, which in that time were
plentiful in this region.
THE small bell was first placed in
rudely constructed catholic church, 1t
served both as a call to worship and an
alarm when there was danger from
the natives. For many years it re-
NAMED in this old church but was
eventually transferred to the steeple Of
a new churcN at about the year 1900.
From this edihce it was again moved
to a newer one, always with great
pomp and ceremony and each time con-
secrated by the bishop. But, like all
other things Of earth, 1t became old,
broken and was finally abandoned as
useless and thrown among a lot of
church rubbish, though it had a his
tory of the country and is probably the
oldest bell in America.
THE history of the large bell, cast
in 1920, is similar to that of the small
one excepting that it was placed in the
steeple of the San Rafael church and
remained there until it had become
useless.
The bell cast in 1920 bears the fsl-
lowing inscription:
IS. Rafael, Ammo Domini De, 1920"
These two old bells are peculiar in
shape as compared with those of the
present day. The top Of the bells is
nearly as large as the base. They are
made of the highest quality of copper,
with mixture of silver. Both of the
bells indicate that they have received
rough usage. From all appearances it
seems that after the clappers were lost
a sledge-hammer was used to strike
them. The Cincinnati Art museum has
made application for these bells and
they will be placed on exhibition there.
The small bell weighs 100 pounds and
the large one 200. The crown by which
the bells were hung seems to have
rotted away in part from old age.

Mayonnaise Sauce.

Work yolks of two raw eggs to q
smooth paste, add two teaspoonfuls
salt, one-half saltspoonful cayenne
pepper, saltspoonful dry mustard and
teaspoonful salad oil. Mix these in
gradients thoroughly, and add strained
juice of one-half lemon. Take re-
mainder of one-half pint fine salad
oil and add gradua, ly teaspoonful at
time. Every fifth teaspoonful add
few drops lemon juice until you have
used two lemons and one-half pint of
oil. There are almost as many ways
of making mayonnaise sauce as there
are of cooking eggs.
