DONATED $4,000.
Santa Fe Company Gives Money to
the Hospital

The Santa Fe Railway company,
through the executive committee, has
donated $4,000 towards the cost of the
new Santa Fe hospital in this city.
This amount will be paid to the Santa
F'e Hospital association, and will be
used by the executive board in meeting
outstanding accounts resulting from
the construction of the new building.
At the time of the reorganization of
the Santa Fe Hospital association, an
agreement was made with the railroad
company to the effect that the company
should purchase all hospital buildings
then in use, but that they should be
maintained exclusively by the associa-
ton. This was done, the company
paying on an average $4,000 for each
building.
Although the Topeka hospital was
built as the property of the association,
the surplus funds in the association
treasury to be used in its construction,
the total cost far exceeded the amount
first expected. On this account the at
tentiOn of the Railway company was
called to the old agreement, and the
company asked to donate an amount
equal to that paid for the other build
ings. This the executive committee
decided to do.

A BOLD BAD MAN.
Goes Through the Country Stealing
the Poor Farmers Diamond Rings.

Goes Through the Country Stealing
the Poor Farmers Diamond Rings.
The police made a quick capture yes
terday afternoon when they took in
charge Thos. o. Cunningham, a dia-
mond thief. They were informed that
Cunningham had stolen a diamond
ring from J. r. EIlIinwOood, farmer
living near Wakarusa, and that he was
in Topeka. Detective Zeller started
after him. Chief Gardiner and Ser
geant Donovan joined in the search.
Near the Salvation Army tent on
East Sixth street close to Quincy street
they found their man. He was on
horseback.
Look out, he has a gun with him, 3"
said Donovan.
Cunningham was arrested, but he did
not pull" his gun and he was taken
to the police station. He had on the
diamond ring when arrested
Monday night he rode through Waka-
rusa on his horse. It was dark, and he
stopped at the house of Mr.. Elllinwood
and asked for lodging. He was given
a room and his horse fed and put in
the barn. When MI ElHnWood arose
in the morning he found that Cunning
ham had gone, taking with him d1a-
mOnd ring, for which Mr.. EIlinWOod
says he paid $120. He took a Smith
ring with a setting and about 81 in sill
yer. Mr.. EllinWOOd came to Topeka
and reported the theft to the police.
But Cunningham might have escaped
but for a coincidence which happened
just after dfnnery yesterday. Cunningham
tried to sell his horse to J. c. Mcguire
for SO.
The horse was not worth much more
than that amount, but Mr.. Mcguire
questioned him closely and became con-
WINGED that there was something wrong
about the case. He notified the police
and the officers started Immediately
after their man. When searched at
the police station Cunningham was
found to have the revolver, a gold set
ring, $Z12 in cash and a receipt made
out to Mr.. EIlinwOod by a Wakarusa
man.
He was taken before Justic Guy and
the papers made out charging him with
grand larceny.
He says that he has been in western
Kansas for a long time, and has just
come to this part of the state. He says
that the sOrrel mare which he was rid
ing is his own property, but the police
are inclined to think that it has been
stolen. Cunningham has the appear
ance of a farm hand.

SENATOR STEWART ANGRY.
Says Senator Thurston Must Prove
His Charges or Retract.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Senator Stew
art of Nevada, is much provoked by the
charge made by Senator Thurston in his
speech at Madison. Wis, Friday, and
has written to him demanding a re-
traction. In substance, Senator Thurs
ton said Mr.. Bryan and other prominent
free silver advocates had been paid for
advancing the cause. He charged Mr.
Bryan particularly, with being paid
agent and spokesman of the free silver
combine" Without regard to Mr.. Bry-
an, Senator Thurston also charged that
for three and a half years there has
been a, select corps of orators and writ
ers, paid employees of the silver pro
ducers, spreading their literature over
this country from one end to the other,
telling the farmer that he will have
more for his wheat, telling the labOring
man that he will have more for his
work"
Though Senator Stewart was not
mentioned in this speech, he is the first
to take exceptions to it, and last even
ing forwarded a printed letter to the
Nebraska senator.
After quoting what Mr.. Thurston
said on the subject, Mr.. Stewart tells
him that he has grossly misrepresent-
ed the facts" There is no silver bo-
nanza organization, he says, and no or
ganizatiOn of silver mine owners con-
tributing money for the cause of sill
yer, to his knowledge. He says no man
has been employed to make speeches
for silver, and that the money used in
the silver campaign has not amounted
to much and has been secured by the
American BimetalIic league in small
sums from all parts of the country. In
closing he says: 1.-The commercial press
has falsely declared that the silver
movement was sustained by silver
barons' and by large contributions of
money from silver mine owners. 1t
may be that your information is from
that source, and that you have no 9TH
er. But that kind of proof will not do.
The charge is false, and you have made
it on your own responsibility, and the
country will not be satisfied without
clear proof or a withdrawal of the
SANDER. You may mock at the poverty
of the silver men, as the gold press is
in the habit of doing, but you shall not
SANDER them with impunity I await
your reDIY.''

FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
A Colored Woman Doing Good Work
in California.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The first woman's
rights convention ever held in the west
assembled in this city in 1869. Among
those who took an active part in that
gathering was Mrs. Naomi Anderson, a
coIOred woman. Ever since then she
has labored in the cause, and for the
present campaign she has been en-
gagged by the state suffrage association
of California, to lecture throughout that
state among people of her own race.
Mrs. Anderson is now a resident of
Sacramento. She began her campaign
work last week in San Francisco. Mrs
Anderson was q prominent figure in the
Kansas campaign two years ago. She
devoted six months to stumping the
state, and secured the colOred vote for
the suffrage cause. During the cam
paign of 1880 she worked for suffrage
in Ohio.
She has started innumerable under
tal1ings for the care of cOlored children
and the education of colored girls, in
Guiding the colored orphan asylum at
Wichita, Kan. Through her efforts the
WOman's auxiliary to the Grand Army
of the Republic in Kansas was organ
lied.

NO FUSION IN INDIANA.
No Prospects of Democrats and Popu-
lists Getting Together.

Indianapolis, Aug. st can be an
nounced authoritatively that the pres
ent Democratic state committee will not
consider any proposition from the Pop
ulist state committee of thirteen to di-
vide electors in this state. Inquiry at
both Populist and Democratic head
quarters shows that there is no prob
ability of the two parties coming to-
gether in state or national affairs. So
far as can be learned the POpulist com
mittee which was empowered to deal
with the question of electors has not
fixed the time for meeting The Dem
ocratic managers take the position that
the POpulistS have nothing to offer in
return for anything the Democrats
might consent to give.
