PoLI's WONDERLAND THEATER.

Little Master Walter Leon, the child
prodigy who heads this weeks bill al
Polls Wonderland theater, has made
an impression here that few artists ever
created before him. Wherever men
congregate that have seen him the one
opinion expressed is identical with that
of Nym Crinkle and Alan Dale, that he
is the most gifted child born in this
century" If any more brilliant child
has ever come into the world in any
century it would be interesting to know
who and what he was. Among the
many bright speciality artists who ap-
pear in connection with Master Leon
Miss Maud Raymond is specially note
worthy, as are Miss Norma Wills and
Monty Collins. The others in the cast
are hardly less eminent.
Next week an all star combination of
American artists, including among 9TH
ers the two American Macs, Jules and
Ella Garrison, and Baby Russell -

unusually full attendance on the
Republican side of 1.-The cham
Der today as Mr.. Morrill,, chair
man of the finance committee had
given notice of a motion to take up the

resolution calling on the secretary of
agriculture to report what recent changes
had been made in the quarantine
line against cattle coming north from
Texas Mr.. Vest explained that a recent
publication stated that the secretary had
issued proclamation making radical
changes to the detriment of the parties
in interest.
Mr.. PETER Pop. Hans came forward
with lengthy resolution proposing a
senate investigation of the circumstances
of all recent bond issues.
The resolution proposes a special COM
mittee of five senators and gives COM
prehensive directions as to the scope
of the inquiry, the dealings
with syndicates, the effect of such
dealings and explicit information as to

tendant circumstances.
Mr. Morrill, asked that the resolution

Order of the Rising Sun.


WICHITA, Kan, Feb. &c. II. David
son, president of the Kansas National
bank of this city, and cousin of Major
Pond, the New York Lvceum manager,

MADGE WALLACE LOCATED.
A Topeka Girl Who Disappeared is
On n Farm Near KHOyt-

On Farm Near HOyt-
A day or two ago Madge Wallace, a
15-year- old girl, who lived with her
parents at the northwest corner of First
and Adams streets, disappeared.
A search was made ia the neighbor-
hood, but no trace of the girl could be
found. She had left home in the morn
ing saying she was going to visit a
neighbor. and did not return.
Her father. James d. Wallace, did not
become alarmed until the following day
and he reported the matter to the police
last evening. Sergeant Donovan aud
Captain Gardiner made an investigation
and found that the girl had made com
plants about having to work too hard
at home.
Later in the evening a young man
named Will Miller sent word to the
police station that he knew where the
girl was, and would tell for considera-
ton. Chief of Police Wilkerson met
the young man and he finally told him
that the girl was at Hoyt, in Jackson
county. but refused to tell where he got
his inform alton.
Mr.. Wallace said today to JOURNAL
reporter who called at his boarding
house: "We will make no further ef-
forts to have the girl come home now.
She is with farmer by the name of AL
Morris, about three miles from Hoyt and
we know him we'll. If we had known
she was there we would have
said nothing about the matter as we
used to live there, do not know why
Madge left home and Miller refused to
tell me what he knew about her going
there"
The police are inclined to think that
Miller is in some way responsible for the
girls disappearance.

JACksON'S STORY.
One OF Pearl Bryan's Murderers
Gives His story TO His Lawyer.


Gives His story to His Lawyer.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 12.-Scott Jacksou's
written statement to his attorney has
been given to the public. 1t undertakes
to tell chronologically his connection
with the case, beginning with Mon
day of the last week of the month. To-
daY he says he received a postal card
from Will T. Wood, stating that Pearl
would arrive in Cincinnati that night.
He and WalIing went to the dspots, but
both missed her.
Tuesday morning he received a note
from Pearl at college and he and Wall
ing went to the Indiana house. He saw
her but Walling did not. It was ar
ranged that Walling should get a
room without telling Jackson where
it was and perform the oper-
alton. Walling not having found a
room, Miss Bryan went to Herder's for
supper and to the Indiana house for
the night He does not say
where Pearl was Wednesday except
that he told her to meet Wall
ing at Fourth and Race streets at
10 o'clock. Walliug left him to meet
her and Jackson saw him no more until
Thursday afternoon at the college. To
his question what was the news, Walling
answered. "Everything is all ight; she
is well" Jackson was at the college
until $50 and in his room most of the
evening. AT $3.50 Walling came in and
got some things from the closet; took
the grip aud went out.
Friday morning jackson awoke and
found Walling in bed and they
went to the lecture together.
That day Jackson had his
beard shave off at the BARRIERS sugges-
ton. Walling was out all afternoon but
came in 10 the evening and played a
game of cards. After o'clock Wal
ling took Pearl Bryan's grip, put
ON his hat and coat and went
out. He did not return until
after $3.50 a, M; "for at that time," said
jackson, 81 awoke and found he was not
in, so l put out the gas and went to
sleep"
Saturday morning he found Wall
ing in bed. He then tells of
their going 10 the college on Saturday,
and in the afternoon reading of the muir
der in the papers. When he asked Wall
ing if that was his case his face turned
red and then pale. but he did not answer,
When l asked what he did with it
Walling simply said: Il threw it over
board >"
Jackson then tells of their return to
the room and of their plan to get rid of
Pearls clothes. He admits that he threw
a bundle into the sewer and threw some
things into the Ohio river.

Four Shots Fired by an Electric

The Second Time Within a Year
This Has Occurred.
MEN HAVE SHOTGUNS.

LEAvENwoRTH, Feb. 12. - Fourth
street near the Soldiers home. or the
State road as it is generally known, has
made another addition to its record OF
lawlessness.
After night two men supposed to be-
long to a gang that infests 1.-The pike"
made an unsuccessful attempt to hold up
an electric car near the Santa Fe cross
ing.
Conductor Norby and Motorman Ban
croft on car No. 8, had left the home at
a few minutes before o'clock at night,
Kelly, the Soldiers home apple man, be-
ing the only passenger. The car slowed
up at the railroad crossing as usual and
was just rel aiming the usual speed when
the motorman saw two men standing on
the east side of the track. His first i'm
pulse was to stop the car to allow them
to get on, when he heard one of them
give the command to halt At the same
time he noticed shotgun in the hands of
one of the would be highwaymen.
The first the conductor knew of it was
when he heard the passenger, Kelly, yell
Squat! He squatted, but at the same
time shot four times at the men as the
car flew by them. The men rau into the
woods the property of St Mary's
academy.
According to Norby, the men wore no
masks. Both wore caps aud one had
muller about his chin. He said that he
did not think he could identify them, but
said they were very tough-looki king, and
very likely hung around one of the pike
joints. He had no doubt that they in

This is a second time within a year
that attempts have been made to rob the
conductors of the Third street line at this

The Santa Fe Offices and Shops,
T. A. A. and Y. II. C. A.
To Play One Game of Ball Each
Saturday During the Season.
SMALL SALARIED MEN.
New York Giants Have Re-
served Eleven Pitchers.
The Stake Money Not Up Yet
for the Stuart Fight.

The latest base ball project for Topeka
is a city league. 1t is being talked up
now that the chances of our having a
professional team seem slim and bears
every promise of bearing fruit in the
way of an organization.
The four teams which will probably
form the league will represent the T. A.
A, the Y. NJ. c. a, the Santa Fe general
Offices and the Santa Fe shops. With
the great number of men each of these
institutions has to draw from really first
class mines can be put in the field.
But one game week will be played.
This will be on each Saturday afternoon
at Athletic park. 1t is proposed to rent
the park outright for the season and the
league would have everything its own
way, then.
Of course, not much money will be
made by the venture, but the players
being all amateurs with the regulations
of their institutions to sustain, there will
doubtless be some exciting games at the
park if the league is formed.

To Clean Out the Sewers and Perhaps This

City Engineer Barnes has drawn plans
of trap to be used in flushing the
sewers. When a stream from hydrant
is turned into the manholes it is not large
enough to give the sewer thorough

The apparatus consists of a cover for
the bottom of the manhole with a rope
fastened to it. The cover is put in place
and the manholo is then filled with
