A RECEIPT NOT ADMITTED.

The following is copy of the receipt
given to R. A. Turrell by the Citizens
Bank at the time of the alleged wrest-
ing from him of his connections with
the bank. The receipt was offered in
evidence on the first day of the trial by
the defense, objected to by the State
on the ground that, as it was of CT
vii character, being in the shape of an
indemnity, it could not be received as
evidence in a criminal case. The OBJ
lection was sustained:

A DISCREPANCY.

Readers of the paper, who have fol-
lowed the trial, have undoubtedly no.
ticed discrepancy of ST. 800 between
the amount w. P. Huntington and
R. A. Turrell claim was paid for the
opera block, and the claim made by @.
Fred Thompson. In other words Mr..
Huntington claims that he received
$500 for the block. R. A. Turrell,
one of the purchasers, admits the sum,
but Mr.. Thompson contends that the
amount was Only $1,000. There was
a mortgage of $500 on the block,
which Messrs. Thompson and Turrell
assumed when they purchased the
block. Turrell paid Mr.. Huntington
$1,000, and the evidence and bank
records prove the payment. What
arrangements he made with Thomp-
son as to the payment Of this amount
is not known--neither do the parties
to the transaction seem to know. 1t is
mystery hard to unravel, and it is
doubtful whether it can be unraveled,
even by the shrewd attorneys practic-
ing before Judge Webber.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1896-05-21

Webber, under oath, that he had been
IN the wheat business prior to the in
dictment, that he had not acquired
any mechanical trade, but that he had
been bookkeeper off and on for the
past ten years. He gave his age as
II years, said that he had never been
convicted before and had nothing to
say as to why sentence should not be
passed upon him at that time.
Judge Weber then sentenced him
to the Saltwater prison upon the re-
formatory plan. He said that the SEN
tence was the lightest allowed by law.
That in imposing it he considered the
defendants previous reputation, his
condition, and his knowledge, and the
opportunity of reformation, the one
thing the law expressly gives prece-
,dence to. He told Turrell that his
liberty depended upon his own be-
haviour, and that he might be released
on parole at any time after six months
in the prison.
MIR. Turrell received his sentence
without any apparent nervousness,
whatever. Indeed, he revealed look
as though he was congratulating him
self on the exceedingly light sentence
of the court.
A stay of proceedings was granted
to July LIST, the prisoner being ordered
to give $1,000 bail. He will have to
remain at Saltwater six months before
he can be paroled as the parole rules
provide. Some have supposed that
the parole could be granted six
months from the date of sentence, but
the supposition is erroneous.
On Saturday morning, after learn
ing of the latter fact, Judge Baldwin,
for the defendant, asked to have the
stay vacated, inasmuch as the defend
ant was anxious to begin his sentence
and be done with it. It was so vacat-
ed and on Tuesday Mr.. Turrell, to-
gether with the Crouleys left for
Saltwater and St. Cloud, in charge of
Sheriff Mead and his deputies. ...

succeeded in acertaining from the wit
ness that he had no mony to his credit

Miss Mamie Riheldaffer was called

A SHOOTING sHUTEs SCENE
A Kansas City Intoxicated Alderman
Jumps Into the Water.

Kansas City. July 14.-An alderman
from Kansas City, Kan, was the spec
tacular feature at the 'chutes'' in
TroOst park yesterday afternoon He
and a party of friends who had been
enjoying themselves elsewhere and
We're in high spirits amused themselves
and the crowd of pleasure seekers by
feigning fear when descending the
chute, particularly when the water sur
face was reached.
The alderman seemed to think at last
that he had really convinced the crowd
that he was afraid; so, to remove that
false impression, he took his stand on
the dock where all could see him, and
at an opportune moment leaped far out
into deep water
There were cries of horror from the
women "chuters'' and a hustling among
the attendants and male visitors, and
the alderman was dragged out. When
asked Why he had done such a trick, he
said:
I wanted to show those laughing
fools that 1 could swim"
The management supplied him with
other clothing, and the alderman
whose cold plunge had evidently done
him good, resumed .'chuting'' while
his own apparel was drying.

MRS. CHASE'S EPlTHET
State Organizer of the WOmen's
Christian Temperance Union.
Refers to Governor Morrill, as
NThat Character.
She is a Quaker and an Interesting
Talker-Speaks at the Third Pres
byterian Church.

Mrs. lydia A. Chase of Kansas City,
Mo, came to Topeka yesterday to i'm
prove the degree of good citizenship
here. She lectured last evening at the
Third Presbyterian church upon the
subject The Duties of Citizenship,
from the Standpoint of the Bible"
Mrs. Chase lives in Kansas City, Mo,
and is the state organizer of the w G.
II u for Missouri. She is a sweet
faced little Quaker lady, past middle
age, and she has been a minister in the
Quaker church for 80 years. Many
years ago she lived in Kansas.
A reporter asked her what she
thought of Governor NIorriII's attitude
on the temperance question. Her eyes
snapped, and she said: I think it was
lamentable. A man whom we had
thought would do so well, to do as he
did, was great disappointment to US.
Some of the ladies at Kansas City
wanted to have Governor Morrill, come
ana speak for them, but L told them
We didn't want that character there.
I do not know Mr.. Troutman very
we'll. but from all I can learn I think
ne would do his duty" said Mrs. Chase.
He is a nice, clean man"
Speaking of prohibition in Kansas,
Mrs. Chase said: L was away from
Kansas for several years, and when 1
came back I could see a great i'm
provement since prohibition had come
into practice
In Mrs ChaSe'S lecture last evening
at the Third Presbyterian church. she
said that she thought the thirteenth
chapter of Romans sounded just as if
1t had been written in modern times
It dealt with civil government in a way
which seemed directly applicable to the
present time. THAT certainly reads
just like it was made right in Kansas
City" she said.
BY way of Introduction she said: Il
am free to say that the government of
the United States is the best of any
known government. If it could be pure
it would be a wonderful government.
Our eScutcheOn is not clear and pure
That greatest of statesmen, Gladstone.
says: The policy of government is to
make it easy to do right, and hard to
do wrong"
Mrs. Chase said that the duties of
citizenship demanded firm stand for
the abolition of the liquor traffic.
can remember when the slave
traffic was thought to be as hard to
stamp out as it would be today to abol-
tsh the liquor traffic within a very few
years, said she.
The liquor power dictates who shall
sit in our legislative halls, and who
snaII go to congress; and yet we say
we are a free government. If the tenn
pefahee people We're as united as those
OF the lquor power, We wouldn't have
any saloons IN our country after this
year"
Mrs. Chase did not refer to local DO
uucaI conditions in her lecture but
chose her remarks from different yer
ses OF the thirteenth chapter of Ro-
mans.
Some one asked me a few days ago
what party spoke for, and I told them
I spoke for the Lord" she said
Mrs. Chase left for her home in Txa,,-
sas City this afternoon.

BOSTON DEMOCRATS BOLT.
Large Numbers of Them Flocking to
the Mckinley Standard.

Boston. July 14.-Within the last
twenty-four hours there has been a
wholesale desertion in Boston and
throughout the state from the Dem
ocratic principles.
Collector WinsIow Warren of the port
of Boston, an appointee of President.
Cleveland, announced today that he
was no longer a Democrat and that he
would vote for Mckinley.
Prof Charles Eliot Norton of Har-
ward university said in an interview
that he has not been a Democrat, but
an independent. Prof Norton said he
would vote for Mckinley because the
Republican platform stands for gold
although he would have preferred to
vote for a Democrat on gold platform.
General Francis Peabody, well
known cIubman, who ran as Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor of Boston
in 1894, said: AT present L will say
but I want to know what the alterna-
tive is going to be. There may be
none. It's a bad situation all around.
The financial question is the paramount
question of the day. No doubt, the sill
yer party threatens the prosperity, yes,
even the very existence of the nation

wager that I am not going to do any
thing that win endanger the election of
a sound money candidate. will not
have anything to do with a free silver

why, I haven't words to express my
contempt for him..
Prof. Nathaniel EIaler, dean of the

yesterday, and much as I dislike Mr..

the money question, for every one

against bimetallism. I believe that the

Democratic party is sure to come, and
we ought to stand up and have it out
without further delay. For this rea-
son I shall cast my vote for Mckinley
as being the only candidate who can
defeat the silver nominee of the Chica-

New York, July 1.-THE gold specu-

The mob stationed itself in front of

cession was formed, and a shrewd Re
publican sprang a sensation by fling
ing a lot of campaign buttons into the
crowd.
This stopped the mob. but not the
