There Is Danger That the War May
Become General in Central America.
MANAeUA, Nicaragua, March 30.-Via
Galveston. The peace commission, con-
sisting of DR.. Prudsnte Alfaro, vice pres
ident of Salvador; Gen. Comlans of Sal
vador and Senior Ramirez the Nicarag-
uan minister of foreign affairs, has re-
turned here from La Paz, where the con-
ference with the representatives of the
insurgent Leonists has been held.
The terms offered by President Zelaya
are understood to have been the absolute
surrender of all arms. the payment of all
war expenses and the surrender for trial
by court martial of the leaders of the in =
surrection. The insurgents not only re-
| fused to accept these terms, but they de J.
| manded that President Zslaya turn over
to them the government of Nicaragua.
| Consequently, all hope of peace is
| gone, and the war will be contin-
| ued with renewed bitterness on both
sides. There is great excitement and
| steps are being taken to reinforce the
troops at the front and begin the advance
| on Leon as soon as the much needed
supplies of ammunition reach the gov
ernment forces.
| There are disturbing minors in the
| air. The government is said to be hard
pressed for funds as we'll as for ammu-
milton which facts are not unknown to
the Leonists, who are understood to be
receiving secret support from Guate-
mAla and from other sources, which may
result in complications likely to cause a
general war throughout Central America.
1t is suggested in certain circles here
that this is coed opportunity for inter
| vention upon the part of the United
States, with the view to bringing about
a peaceful settlement of the questions
in dispute, as a conflict involving all the
Central American republics would put a
serious check upon business and the de-
velopment of the natural resources OF
| Cantral America.

BOYS ACT BRUTALITY.
TheyMaltreat a Schoolmate and Are
Brought Into Court.

Last Tuesday noon four South To-
peka boys were walking home from
school. Their names were Eddie Dew.
Jay Gordan, ValIie Pickett and Tom
Darlow. Three of them were ralxing
their brains to hit upon some way OF
breaking the dreary monotony of their
lives. They found it.
The plan they adopted was to pick
up Eddie Dew and with run forward.
bring his head in sudden contact with
a telegraph pole. These three boys who
were having all this sport are larger
than the victim. The Darlow boy
is about IA years old, while the other
assistants of his are about u. Their
victim was only II, and very small for
his age.
After enjoying themselves for sew
eral minutes in this fashion, the ag-
gressors walked away. The injured
boy dragged himself home and stayed
there until Saturday afternoon, When
he was barely able to get down to
Justice Furry's court to be present at
the trial of his assailants.
When the boys appeared in court
Saturday afternoon, one of the assail-
ants was accompanied by his father.

confiened to the house from Tuesday
noon, the day of his injury, until Sat
urday afternoon. He had been very
sick and under the care of the physi-
clans.
The three boys pleaded guilty. upon
the advice of the attorneys and the
father of one of them, who was present
at the hearing. Justice Furry in plac-
ing their fine at low limit, read the
culprits a lecture. The justice told
them that for what they had done. he
might commit them to jail. but on ac-
count of their youth would not do 50.
The fine was fixed at 81 and costs.

WAS FOUND GUILTY.
The Keeper Of the Herman House
Fined $50 in Police Court.

In police court Saturday afternoon
after a long and hotly contested case
Mary Herman was found guilty of
running a diSOrderly or ''roOLlinS''
house and was fined $50.
She will appeal the case she says.
Ex-Police Judge Ensminger appear
ed in her defense and City Attorney
Bird for the prosecution.
Mary Herman was arrested a week
or more ago at her house on East 4th
street near Jefferson. In the house at
the time was found a man and wo-
man. The woman pleaded guilty to
being an inmate and was fined $25.
The fellow in the case was a police
spotter and was allowed to go free.
Miss Kiernan'S defense was that her
house was thoroughly respectable and
that none but men and s1eir wives
were allowed to stop there, together.
They register their right names o.,
/ they don't stay, said she.
Introduced as evidence in the de-
Tense was the register and Miss Kier-
nan was able to show the name Of
Policeman Burgess there.
There was some conflicting testi :
mony as to how it came there. Mary
Herman said he had a woman with
him and stayed at the house.
Burgess said he did not stay there,
that he had been sent there as de-
tective by Sergeant Ellison and Eli
son testified to the same fact.
Miss Herman was putting up a very
good line of defense when some ma

SLAP AT GOLD RAIDERS.
How the Raising of Gold Premiums is
Regarded at Washington

Washington, March 3O.-Much sig
nificance in financial circles attached
to the action of the secretary of the
treasury in deciding to raise the pre-
MUM on gold bars at the sub-treasury
in New York from 1-16 to 3-16. This ac-
ton was taken primarily against eS-
pOrterS of gold and they will unGoub.-
edly raise quite a furry OF protest over
it. AS is generally known, gold IS al
ways reluctantly Used. AS 4 result OF
many of the old stocking stores haS-
ing been received by tie treasury in its
recent popular bond sale, the depart
ment has on hand an unusual quantity
of old gold coin of various ages and
designs, and when gold-demand notes
are presented for redemption at the
sub-treasury they will be redeemed in
this old coin Instead of gold or gold
bars.
In this way the government will
maintain its determination to re-
deem this currency without discrimina-
ton as to the metals. and it Will also
save itself new gold both in. bars and
in coin. There has been a great d.
mand for gold bars from this country
abroad, and the Bank of England has
raised the price which it will pay for
these bars a penny in every pound
sterling.
1t is in the main, however, a direct
slap at the gold raiders, and it VIII
be Interesting to hear just how loud
they scream over it.

NO TRIAL FOR GAINES.
Judge Hazen Overrules the Motion for
New Trial

Judge Hazen said this morning that
he would overrule H. E. Gaines motion
for a new trial in the Cruger murder
case, but he reserved his formal de-
cision until the next term of the dis
trict court.
Il have been over every bit of this
case from evidence to instructions, and
l fail to see a single error said the
judge, ''as Gaines attorneys indicated
when the motion was argued that if
the motion were overruled they would
carry the case to the supreme court L
shall give them time to do so. This is
quite lengthy case and as there does
not remain week before the present
term closes they would not have time
to get the case ready for the supreme
court and therefore I reserve over
ruling the motion to next term"
The law requires that case which is
taken to the supreme court must be
taken up during the term at which it
was decided in the lower court
When Judge Hazen formally decides
the case next Monday the case will be
appealed, and Gaines will probably be
released on bond, as he can furnish
any amount.

Mrs. Foster disappeared, and went to
live with her married daughter in Mis-

again, where she tried to get another
school. This failed, and at last she went
to the poor house, where she remained
until her death. c. G. Foster very
naturally has enemies in Atchison, but
they all admit that he was a victim in
this wretched marriage.
He has not seen her, ar heard from her
in twenty-five or thirty years. He will

AS KNOWN IN ATCHISON.
Atchison "Globe's" Account of Judge
C. 6. Fosters First Marriage.

Atchison aGlobe's" Account of Judge
C. G. Fosters First Marriage.
The Atchison Globe of Saturday even
ing contains the following story of the
first marriage of Judga c. G. Fosters in
that city many years ago, which is prob
ably written by Editor E. W. Howe him
self who is doubtless conversant with
the facts:
Mrs. G. G. Foster, the divorced wife of
G. G. Foster. United States district Judge
for Kansas, died at the Atchison county
poor farm, at o'clock this morning.
No one knows her age exactly, but she
was probably between 65 and 70. Sh
took to her bed Last Wednesday evening,
spoke her last intelligent word on Thurs
day. She had not eaten anything for
nearly a week before her death. Thus
ends very strange life. Mrs. Foster
came to Atchison in 1862, from Ken
lucky. She was the widow of a man
named Abbott, and was accompanied by
little daughter. She brought letters
recommending her as a teacher, and an
nounced that she would start a select
school for young ladies. B. F. String
fellow gave her the lots where Judge
Webb's residence now stands, and she
erected building and con :
Quoted school which was
attended by many of the young
ladies' of the best families. Mrs. Andy
hughes, who was q sister of Mrs. In
gals, attended the school; SO did Mrs.
B. P. Waggener, Mrs. Church White,
aud many others This was the second
seminary established in Atchison, the
first having been located in the building
now occupied by John NJ. Cain as resi-
dence.
Mrs. Abbott also had letters to the
Do i1FA
church, and the Baptists took a great deal
of interest in her. She was introduced
into society, and met c. G. Foster first at
party given at Sam Dickson's. MRS.
Abbott was a tall, angular, unattractive
woman. She had a strange pronunci-
alton, not quite English, nor yet quite
Irish, but strange enough TO announce
that she was foreign born.
Mrs. Abbott was certainly ten years
older than c. G. Foster, who was then a
favorite in Atchison society, and about IS
years old. She became greatly fascinated
with him and pursued him; this is tn 9
judgment of all the old residents Mrs.
Abbott's school was a failure, and she
made other attempts to earn a living by
teaching.
Finally she disappeared and went to
Missouri. c. 6. Foster about this time
was elected a member of the legislature,
and reports of his marriage to Mrs. Alb
bolt were circulated. These he denied
Finally he appeared in Atchisou with
Mrs. Abbott, introducing her as his wife.
They had a son several months old.
They went to housekeeping in the Webb
property, which was remodeled for the
purpose. Several children were born to
them which died in infancy, except the
oldest one.
Ii was always known that they did not
get along, but sympathy was always with
Foster, for he tried to make the best of a
bad bargain. Finally, they separated,
after living together eight or ten years,
and Mrs. Foster received liberal share
