Parkersburg, w. Va, April 5.--This
morning ayoung man of about 1s or 10
approached Officer McNerney and said
he wanted to surrender himself. He
said his name was James Fitzhugh,
and that his home was Matamoras,
Ohio He asked to be locked up. and
when asked for his reason for the
strange request replied that he had
stolen horse from the stable of some
one near Ashland. Ohio, several nights
since, not intending to sell or make
way with the animal. but for the pur-
pose of getting out of that part of the
country. While feeding the horse the
next day he claims he was pursued,
and only escaped by lodging the pur.
suers in the woods. He had succeeded
in reaching this city. but was in con.
slant fear of pursuit and had concluded
to surrender to IKE authorities. There
is some doubt as tr the SANITY of the
young fellow.

If life were only what man
Thinks daily of-his little care;
His petty ill; his trivial plan;
His sordid scheme to hoard and spare;
His meagre ministry; his small
Unequal strength to breast the stream;
His large regret-repentance small;
His poor, unrealized dream
Twere scarcely worth a passing nod;

TOM POTTER'S BOOKLET.
Mr. Potter Is in Town Today Looking
After His Fences.

Mr.. T. NJ. Potter of Marion. is in To-
peka today. He brought with him a
gubernatorial smile and a piece of"taffy''
for every one he happened to encounter.
Nr- Potter is very modest. He will
not talk about his hope of securing the
Republican nomination for governor, but
he is not averse to having his name men
toned in that connection. He also
denies with great vehemence that he is
politician and insists with just as much
energy that he is a farmer and stock
raiser and nothing more.
Mr.. Tom Potter was dressed with be-
coming elegance when a JOURNAL re-
porter met him at the state house today.
His clothes fit we'll, aud his
MIR. Potter could have seen
a reflection of his genial countenance in
them if he had tried He looked more
like a we'll to do broker than a farmer.
but he told the reporter that he is a
farmer, and so in his case appearances
are deceiving.
81 am in Topeka on business" said he.
"You know l am not a politician and
know nothing abont politics. I am simp-
ly farmer and stock raiser and l know
very little of the ways of politicians l
might learn, I suppose, but will always
be farmer.
''The position of governor" he said, in
answer to a question. sis a too honorable
one to refuse. What an honor it would
be to be governor of a great state like
Kansas and l would be very strange
man if l would not accept.
"While l am not a politician con-
tinued Mr.. Potter, II am as a farmer
trying to get acquainted with the people
in the various counties of the state and
as farmer am not overlooking Cope
land county. I can appreciate the i'm
portance of its products and am look
ing after them."

Declared Against the British

MUST COME TOGETHER
UST COME TOGETHER
Under the Green Banner of the
Prophet
To EXterminate the Army Ad-
Vancing from Cairo.

CAIRO, March 2O,-The Khalifa has
proclaimed jehad (holy war; against
Egypt, and has called all the dervishes
capable of bearing arms to enroll under
his banners.
The dispatch adds that it is said that
Osman Digna is to leave kassala and
join the dervishes now mastering at
Dongola.
Fully 5000 dervishes are reported al
ready there and ready to fight. The
massacre of the Italians at Adowa filed
them with war-like zeal. and the fall of
Kassala will infame them with fanat-
icism. They may take the initiative and
fall upon the advance column of the Nile
and crush it, even before the main sup
port can reach Assouan.
While the natives are all disconsolate
at the prospect of war, the English in
Cairo are elated.
Scores of young men in civil places
are striving for permission to join the
forces and several English women have
volunteered for hospital service.
The prospect of fighting creates much
enthusiasm among the British. Mrs.
Constans Knowles has issued an appeal
to Englishmen here on behalf of a fund
for prospective widows, and orphans.
The war correspondents of the London
The troops in Cairo are taken by rail
to Ghireh, where the Cook steamers re-
ceive and carry them to Assouan. The
North Staffordshire regiment is booked
to make the trip on the 26th.
The young Khedive is said to be elated
over the prospect.
Your correspondent has had interview
with Slatin Pasha, of German parentage,
the companion of Gen. Gordon, who has
had seventeen years of life and i'm
prisonment in the Soudan.
He said: II think we shall have some
fighting inside of a week. Our troops
today made the first advance be-
yond Egyptian territory. They are
certain to meet opposition.
l think we shall find the enemy at least
1000 strong in rifles with 5000 spearmen
and with irregular cavalry force of
about 2,000 The best arms they have
are the Remington rifles and they are
quite out of date now
"The talk about the dervishes being
able to put 100000 fighters in the field is
absurd. Not half that number of fight
ing men can be mustered in the whole
region"

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Little Ezekiel Butler Run Over BY the
Cars and FeArfuny ManGIed.

Cars and FeRrfuny ManGled.
An eight year old boy, Ezekiel Butler,
the son of Mrs. r. N. Furze, of 702 East
Seventh street, was run over by a coal
car in the Santa Fe yards near Eighth
avenue, at $50 yesterday evening, and
both limbs badly crushed. Amputation of
the left leg above the knee was neces-
sarY. -.-...
The Butler boy. with 4 number OF other
small boys, was playing among the coal
cars while a switching crew was backing
train of empty cara on side track
near by. When the train reached Eighth
street several of the bows jumped on
car, among them the Butler boy, who
caught one of the rods on the end of the
car and rested his feet on a nut of the
brakebeam. The jolting of the car
caused him to lose his footing, and he
fell backward, both limbs projecting
across the rail. The two wheels of one
truck passed over his legs above the
knee.
One of the switchmen saw the boy fall
and signaled the engineer to
stop. The boy was lying uncon-
scious by the side of the track, both
legs in a mangled condition, the bones of
the left one protruding through his
trousers at the knee. He was carried
to his home and DR.. Mitchell called,
who, assisted by DR.. Buckmaster, am-
putated the left leg last night. Although
badly crushed, it is possible that the
right leg can be saved.

RODE UNDER A SEAT.

Two Denver Runaways who Had a
Twenfy-fOuF Hour Ride That Was
Enough.
Two young boys applied at the police
station for breakfast this morning who
had had rather rough ride from Den
yer.
They gave their names as Thompson
and Merriner, and are perhaps 10 years
of age. Jailer Albert Hopkins took
them in charge.
"We run away" the boys said. "We
was newsboys and concluded we would
go to Chicago"
"How did you get here?" Hopkins
asked.
"Rode under seats in the smoking car"
"What time did you leave Denver?"
yesterday about noon"
"Laid under the seats all that timer"
"Yep."
"Get pretty tired and hungry"
"Oh, tolerable."
What are you going to do nowf"
"Get back"
"Tired aIready?"
"Uh huh"
Hopkins got the boys their breakfast,
and they are waiting now to get out of
town, bound for Denver. They have had
enough of running away. Twenty hours
under a passenger seat, with nothing to
eat, would tire almost anybody.
