Last night upon the arrival Of the

Beck caused some excitement at the de-
rot. She was seen rushing excitedly
through the crowd of travellers and the
Isackmen and hotel porters shouting like
mad after her. She crossed over on the
track, lodged between the cars and dis
appeared in an alley in the rear of Oliver
Brothers mill and lumber yards. She
had d large package under her arm ana
the supposition was that she had picka1
it up in the waiting room and was MAX

when officer Wood took her up for in

from Oklahoma, although the railroad

BETS CAN BE PAID
But Protests are Made on q Bair-Splitting
Technicaiity.

Some Wichita men are trying to kick
out Of their bets on what seems to be
a very f1imsy reason. Two notices were
served on shareholders yesterday not
to give up bets for the present and not
until after the meeting of the electoral
college. The bets were that Bryan
would not get the electoral vote of Kan
sas. Now il is very apparent that Bry-
an carried Kansas. but there is some
chance for hair-splitting, and a betting
man generally catches a straw. 1t
seems that somebody has made a claim
that George T. Pitts of Wellington. who
was chosen as an elector. is not eligible
for that position and hence cannot serve
in the electoral college. The claim Is
made that the electoral vote of Kansas
means the entire ten votes of the state
and that If Bryan does not get them ell
ne viii not have received the electoral
vote according 10 the terms of the bet
Some claim that when a man bets tina
Bryan gets the electoral vote of the
state he gets it unless Mckinley gets
it, or any part of il, and in this case
ii IS hard TO say that Mckinley has
any vote unless the highest elector on
the Republican ticket be declared elect
ed in place of Mr.. Pitts. II such should
happen 10 be the case the theory is that
nine-tenths Of the bet. This is not con-
ceded by the fellow on the other side.
who claims that the man who bet on
Bryan had all the electors. Others think
that in such a contingency the bet
would be draw. nobody having won Il.
But all the racket is probably in vain
and it is not at all likely that Mr.. Pitts
will be deprived of the honor Of being
an elector in losing cause. In the first
place. il is not probable, in view ot Nc
Kinley's overwhelming majority in the
electoral college, that any body will con-
test with Mr.. Pitts. and II anyone di5 il
is not likely the courts would declare
him ineligible. The constitution says
that no one holding an Office OF trust
or emolument under the United States
can be an eiector. Mr. Pitts. it seems,
is agent for the stockholders OF a na-
tional bank. having been appointed by
the comptroller OF the currency FOR the
purpose of winding up little business
that the receiver left unsettled when he
reiinquished his place. When Nj Pitts

ton he very candidly announced then
that he held this unimportant Office,
and that he did not want the position il
he thought IL woud render him ineIi-
gible as an eiecto-. He said then that
the business of which he had charge
would be wound up before the election
and he thought that by thst time he
would be discharged The matter was
referred to committee Of lawyers con-
sisting Of James Orr OF Atchison and
David Overmeyer OF Topeka. and they.
