But TWO MINUTES
A Year is All That John AnseI
Will Work.
All People Should Be Put in
Jail Who Won't
Talk Sense at Least a Part of
the Year.

This morning, sometime after midnight,
tall, slim man, wearing shabby clothes
and having a rough, unkempt beard and
staring blue eyes, and moving at a sham
bling walk, was found near Tenth and
Madison streets wandering aimlessly
about. People in the neighborhood who
We're up were greatly frightened by the
mans presence. Some who had returned
late at night saw him, and when they
approached he ran away from them as if
in terror At house on Jefferson
street south of Eleventh street he walked
into the front yard and groped about the
porch He was frightened away. Com
plants were made to police headquarters
and Sergeant Owen went in search of the
lunatic. He found him at 3:15 o'clock
this morning near Tenth and jefferson
streets. When he saw the officer com
ing he tried to escape, but the sergeant
stopped him and took him to the police
station. It was John Ansel He is
man 30 years of age and lives on East
Tenth street near the Crosby mills. He
lives at home with his parents. Two
weeks ago he was released from the Bed
well insane asylum, where he had been
kept for several months. Although he is
considered harmless, he is said to be dan
gerous when he becomes excited.
At the city jail he said: 4 got lost last
L
was a few years younger than Grover
Cleveland I shot shotgun and it kicked
and broke my collar bone. 1 thought I
would die from it. I was shooting at
ducks, but I didn't kill them. 1 have
been sick a long time: that's the reason
my whiskers are so fine. I'm a farmer by
trade, but I don't work much. This land
was made to enjoy life in, and I don't
expect to work more than two or three
minutes year. If they insist on my
working I'll just go to Governor Leedy
and make him give me an order on these
people. If he don't give it to me he viii
wish he had. Sometimes my head hurts
me and then I feel like I want to do
something big. But, say, it's an awful
thing to get lost. Why, if I had my way
1 would have everyone put in jail who re-
fused to talk sense at least a part of the
time. If 1 ever get lost again. 1 be-
lieve I will just kill myself or do some
thing big I'm a queer fellow and I do
queer things sometimes. Sometime you
will hear about me doing something big,
and then you will remember that 1 was
the fellow who got lost last night
John Ansel held one hand close to his
left cheek when he talked and his face
bore an expression of earnestness which
was occasionally changed by a smile.
When stating his determination to do
something big he grasped the steel bars
Of the Jail door convulsively and swayed
backward and forward.
He will be tried in probate court for his
sanity and an effort will be made to get
him into the Topeka insane asylum. He
is not considered a fit person to be at
large.

hackers are DR.. r. W. Pitcher, superin-
tendent of the Winfield imbecile asy-
lum, and Senator L. P. King, Of CowIey
county, who is Mr. Johnson's uncle.
Added to the influence which they
personally possess. the men who are
pushing Johnson, as we'll as himself,
have secured from members of the leg
iSlature, state officers, congressman and
other POpuliSts of prominence in the
state, recommendations urging the ap-
pOintment of Johnson to the position.
Mr.. Kings relationship to Johnson is
not the only reason why he is so act
i've in his support for this position Mr..
johnson managed Kings campaign for
governor before the Abilene convention
last year, and during the session OF the
legislature occupied the same import
ant position during the time Mr.. King
was a candidate for United States SEN
ator.
In the event of a nomination and cleo
Johnson would have been his private
secretary. Had Mr.. King gone to the
United States senate, Johnson would
have been his private secretary in
Washington.
Mr.. JOhnson's home is in CoWley
county and the Populists of that county
are rallying to his support almost to a
man.
Senator King was in the city a few
days ago and held long conference
with Judges Doster and Allen, calling
senting at length the claims of Mr..
Johnson for the position of state librar-
ian.
Whether or ant any pledges have
been made is a question which re-
mains unanswered.

partment has just received a most in
teresting report from Capt. Ray as to

persons he could communicate with as
to the state of affairs in Alaska and the
KIOndike.
The officer. who was sent especially
for the purpose of making recommen-
dations for the betterment of affairs
there, has some radical suggestions to
make. Among them he urges the di-
vision of Alaska into two districts, the
southern district to remain under the
present jurisdiction While the northern
district is to be placed under d form
of military government until congress
can take action on the matter.
Col. Randall, who was sent out to To-

by telegraph to Secretary A1ger, via

said today concerning a statement pub

knowing it's danger:
That is so absurd that I hardly
care to make any report. We run the
New York Central to make money We
ride over it almost every day Now, does
it seem likely that we are knowingly
risking our own lives? The only way
we can make money out of the road is
to make it safer than any other, and
we spare no expense to do this. [ have

asking them to come at once. while the
matter is fresh, and make thorough
investigation. One of the commission
ers was at the scene of the wreck Sun

WILL SUE MIAMI 90.
Attorney General Will Attempt to
Collect Delinquent Taxes.

There is a controversy between the
state auditor. state treasurer and near
ly every county clerk in Kansas as to
the accounts for state taxes, the county
officials disputing the claims made by
the state officers.
The counties claim credits of various
amounts to offset the claims against
them on delinquent state taxes, assert
ing that on account of double and err
rOneOus assessments, in many instan-
ces, the accounts are about even, where
as the records at the state house show
delinquencies in large amounts, the to-
tai amounting to $3.50, 600.
To arrive at a solution of the problem
the attorney general will bring a suit to
recover the delinquent taxes from Mi
ami county and secure a decision of the
court upon the points of difference, dis
posing of the entire controversy
