WHERE is M'NUTT?
An Old Man Disappears With 500
in His Pocket.

Judge Hazen called the case of Nc
Mutt against Burke this morning and
announced that the plaintiff in the case
had disappeared and could not be
found.
Daniel McNutt, the man who can not
be found, is 70 years old and quite fee
ble,and his neighbOrs and relatives are
alarmed for fear he has been robbed
and murdered. The case was reported
to the police several days ago and the
city has been thoroughly searched but
not a single trace of the man has been
discovered, and the people living in the
neighborhOod of Seabrook, near the
home of the old gentleman, are thor
oughly alarmed.
A week ago Mr.. McNutt told his wife
that ne would come to the city. He
did not say what his business was, but
it was not unusual for him to come to
town. He rode in with a neighbor and
he has not been seen since.
When Mr.. McNutt left home Mrs
McNutt says he had at least 500 with
him, the receipts of the sale of hogs.
His family and friends fear that some
one found out that the old man had the
money and decOyed him to some lonely
place where he was murdered.
The suit, which was to quiet the title
to the old Burke farm near Mission
Center, will be postponed until some
information of Mr.. McNutt is secured.

wellington, Sept 16.-For several
days past a campmeeting has been in
progress at Mayfeld, and during most
of this time Miss Mabelle Baker and
Miss Nellie VansIyke, the former of
Oklahoma and the latter of May
field, have been attending these
meetings regularly They had both
become deeply interested in the meet
1ngs. Miss Baker was especially inter-
ested.
Everything went all right, when sud
denly Miss Baker became unconscious
during the meeting and was taken to
a house near by, and Miss Vanslyke and
q small boy were left to take care of
her. Both of these young ladies are
of an extremely nervous and sympa-
thetic nature. Miss Vanslyke began
bathing and rubbing Miss Bakers head
10 try to arouse her to consciousness.
Not long had she been engaged in this
until Miss Vansylke, too, became un-
conscious It is not known how long
one found them. as no one entered the
house for some time after they were
sent there from the meeting.
When found the young ladies were
still perfectly ObliviOus to everything
and lay in the stiffness and pallOr of
death. Friends tried to arouse them,
but their efforts were unaVaiing. The
two young ladies lay two days as If in
a trance and then Miss Baker gTadu-
ally recovered consciousness. It was
stin some time after that before Miss
Vanslyke was fully conscious of her
surroundings Neither of the young
ladies have fully recovered. It was
strange case, but there were no visions
seen as in a trance. The young ladies
as well as their friends ascribe the
cause for their peculiar experience to
their own nervousness and sympathetic
tendencies

DECORATE THE ENGINES.
A Novel Idea Suggested That May
Bring Many More Visitors.

Why not have all the passenger loco
motives running out of Kansas City
through Topeka during the Fall Festi-
val decorated with flowers and bunt-
ing? This idea has been suggested to
the State Journal by a railroad man.
These locomotives could be made beau
tiful with mirrors and flowers and it
would be one of the greatest advertise
ments for the Fall Festival that could
be thought of. 1t would doubtless
bring hundreds of visitors from Kan
sas City as the decorations would be
written up in the Kansas City papers
as well as being noticed by thousands
at the Union depot. This is something
the ladies auxiliary of the Engineers
and Firemen brotherhoods could look
after.
Let every Santa Fe, Rock Island and
Union Pacific engine be decorated.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Wheat opened this
morning at substantially unchanged
figures, Dec, SO 3-9@591a; against yes
terday's closing price of 591ac. Liver
pool cables were rather conflicting but
Berlin was quoted strong and higher,
which served to partially counterfeit
heavy northwest and local receipts.
The latter running 100 over the esti-
mate. After declining to 5954 @592sc the
market was helped by the strength
displayed by St. Louis and advanced
to 591k@595sc. No particular interest
was displayed in corn, fluctuations be-
ing apparently largely controlled by
wheat.
May opened 1sc lower at 2414c and
later advanced to 243sc.
OATS-Quiet and without any par
ticular feature. May opened un-
changed at 1870 and advanced to 1880.
PROVISIONS Opened unchanged
except for January pork which opened
21ac higher at $6.721a. There was some
buying of pork and a slight advance
followed in that month. January lard
opened at $3.671A and advanced to $50
January ribs opened at $3.35. Yard
prices were a shade easier.

Pope of $4,000.

Hutchinson, Sept. 16.-An interesting
case was tried in the district court
yesterday.
Mrs. Pope brought suit against the

alleged that in 1890, her husband, the
cashier of the bank, was taken sick.
She was informed by officers of the
bank that Mr.. Pope was short in his
accounts with the bank So, 900 and that
if he recovered he must make it up.
Mr.. Pope died. and She in order to
protect his name and reputation, made
good the alleged shortage Mrs Pope

and wants her money back.
After the introduction of plaintiffs

The state has no funds for encamp-

and the committee of arran gements
have agreed to furnish wood. straw,
and ratiOns in camp.
Col P. M. HOisingtOn has been as
signed to command the camp and all
companies ordered to report to him on
the grounds Several companies near

companies in camp.
Company D has the matter under
consideration and several of the New
ton business men have discussed the
question OF raising a fund to assist in
defraying the expense. Newton has
the best company in the state and they
should attend this encampment by all
means.
