officer Browns Case to Come CP We'd
neSdnH.

The trial of Policeman Martin Brown of
the eighth precinct on charge of intoxi-
cation will take place Wednesday, before
the police trial board. Brown is the officer
who was found in the camp Friday ap-
parently under the influence of alcoholic
stimulants. and suspended from duty as
published in Saturdays Star. 1t is denied
that the officer mad indulged in whisky or
other intoXicant such as is usually found
in liquor saloons. The officer himself says
tina. his condition was caused by dose of
medicine given him in drug store. One
of the doctors a Freedman's Hospital, who
saw him, went to the police station with
him Friday, and said he wanted to see that
he got fair play. One of the police sur
Seons, who happened TO be in the station
at the time, was unable to smell liquor on
be a witness in the case.
This affair recalls a case of the kind tried
by the trial board several years ago. The
officers defense was that he had gone to
a drug store and been given a dose of
medicine, and the druggist who gave him
the me- dicine admitted that he had given ii
to him a joke He was acquitted 1t is
thought that Officer Brown will be able 10

the medicine, and not whisky, intoxicated
him.

GEN. SHELBY is GONE.
His Death Which Has Been Expected
for Week Took Place This
Morning

Kansas City, Feb. 13.-General 10
Shelby died at his country home, eight
miles from Adrian, No, at o'clock
this morning.
The end came peacefully. The pa
tient had been unconscious since early
Monday morning and had been slowly
dying since that time.
General Shelby was taken seriously
i'll ten days ago with pneumonia and
gradually grew worse. HIS vitality
was great, however, and his friends and
family had hopes that he would over
come the disease, and indeed. half a
dozen times since then, when given up
to die, the patients remarkable recup-
eratiVe power asserted itself and he
each time revived. During all of last
Sunday night and most of Monday the
patient talked continually in an IRA
tional way. At times he recognized
those about him, but it was only for
moment when he would again lapse
into a comatose or delirious state. He
began to sink rapidly Tuesday morning
and in a few moments his pulse was al
most imperceptible. Later General
Shelby revived somewhat, but remain
ed unconscious till death and practical
ly took no medicine or nourishment.
Definite arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been made. but it is be-
lieved that General Shelby will be
buried in Kansas City, where his fam
ily reside.

KANSAS LEGISLATORS
Never Fail to Praise Good Service and
Courteous Treatment.

What a pleasure it is to have a bust
ness located in your own city which
you know is highly appreciated by all
who have the opportunity of patroniz-
ing it Whenever you have friends
and acuuaintances coming to your city
that kind of a place to them, for you
are confident that they will receive the
most courteous treatment and the best
possible service.
If there is one place in Topeka where
the people of this city never fail to
show their appreciation of its good
standing it is at the Cremerie Restau-
rant The management certainly de-
serves the most liberal patronage it re-
that the Cremerie is the leading res
taurant in Topeka. 1t easily COM
pares with, and in many instances is
ahead Of the leading restaurants of
Kansas City, Mo.
Messrs. Irving L. and Clarence L.
Scott the proprietors, are both genial
gentlemen, and they attend strictly to
business Their restaurant is always
neat and clean and the corps of cooks
and walters they employ are the best
obtainable 1t seems almost impossi-
BILE but nevertheless it is a fact, that
they serve on an average of 600 people
daily.
Their location is about the best in
the city, being on the corner of Eighth
and Kansas avenues, diagonally across
the street from the transfer station.
You can get anything the market af-
fords the bill of fare always being
legislators take their meals at the
Cremerie, and it is not uncommon for
Scott & Scott to receive many favor
able comments.

COgniZance of Chief Steele's
Present.

this evening and determine whether he
did right in accepting the gold star
from the Topeka sporting faction.
AS usual the members of the board do
not care to talk about the gift or the
probable action the board will take.
President Billiard was asked what
would be done and said:
I cannot tell until I have consulted
with the other members of the board
about the NATTER
What is your personal views about
the matter?'
Il do not care to discuss it now. I
shall wait until the meeting of the
board to night"

than President Billiard:
L do not favor allowing officers to ac-

leave the service of the city it is all
right but until their term has expired 1
do not believe in the officers accepting
anything from any one

After Waiting and Watching
For the VeSuVius
Finds Her Safe Within Charles
stOn HarbOr.
rs SURPRISED AGAIN.
VeSuViuS Officers Are Laugh
ing at Him.
Tactics Are Kept a Secret by
the Crew.

Charleston, S. c., Feb. 13-Notwith-
standing Admiral Bunce's carefully ar
ranged plans for the effectual blockade
of Charleston harbor the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius successfully ran the
gauntlet of the North Atlantic squad
ron last night. The bIockaders were
not aware of the feat of the ocean
PAGER until the prearranged signal q
skyrocket, was fired from the Vesu-
vius.
Admiral Bunce was surprised and
disappointed. He had thought the
thing impossible and was loath to be-
Ieve the report, it is said, when it was
conveyed to him. How the blockade
was run is priced as a secret on board
the Vesuvius. The officers are all
bOaSting of the feat and are as pleased
over it as the blockaders are chagrined-
The passage through the fleet was
made as easily, safely and expeditions
Iy as the most experienced blockade
runner could have made it.
The trip of the Vesuvius showed her
officers to be thorough naval tacticians-
That the VeSuvius got the best of Ad-
mira1 Bunce'S carefully laid and direct
ed plans is no reflection upon their
efficiency. The VeSuViuS' trip simply
showed that there are American COM
manderS who are sufficiently skilled in
the science of naval tactics to elude
any well organized Gordon of ships
stretched before an American port.
The Vesuvius arrived off Charleston
yesterday from League Island navy
yards, near Philadelphia She re-
manned at a great distance outside IN
til after nightfall, when she extinguish-
ed her lights and began maneuvers to
slip by the fleet. The rain and fog
lent their kindly offices and a little be-
fore 9 o'clock she dropped her anchor.
The VesuviuS is said to have taken the
regular ship channel, by the use of
which she was forced to pass between
the blockading fleet. Strange to say,
she was not discovered by the search
lights which played over the channel
during the evening.
The dispatch boat Dolphin, which
also gave the fleet the slip a few nights
ago, is expected from Jacksonville.
Fla, at any time. The Cushing, Erics-
son and torpedo boat No. are also on
their way to reinforce the blockade
runners. The pilots and old blockade
runners are greatly excited over the.
maneuvers of the squadron. They are
all anxious to be given the opportunity
to take a runner out. The favorite
channel of the old blockaders was that
which led under the guns of Fort Moul-
trie 1t was one of the main ship,
channels and now it is known as the
beach channel. The building of the,
jetties has reduced the depth of water
across it to twelve feet. 1t leads out
from the rebellion roads to the open
sea and is seldom used except by very
light draft vessels.

REPENTANCE OF GARDINER
Former Topeka Man Gets Religion
and Pays ]. G. Sweezy an Old Debt.

Today Mr.. J. G.. Sweeney received let
ter from NJ. Gardiner of Panhandle. Tex,
enclosing a $2065 draft and penitent
prayer for forgiveness for the non-pay-
ment of long delayed debt.
There is story in this connection which
is interesting Twelve years ago Mr.
Sweeney was proprietor of a grocery
store on East Sixth and gave more or less
credit to his customers, among otehrs NJ
Gardiner of Parkdale- One day Gardiner
disappeared, owing Sweeney $12-S5 ac-
count and leaving no trace of his where
ahouts- Sweeney had long since forgot
ten the account or considered it worthless
and stricken it from the ledger
The letter today received stated that
Gardiner had gotten religion and wished
to square all his old debts and begin a
new life. He therefore added $3.50 to the
original as interest and hoped he would
be forgiven. Gardiner is working for the
Santa Fe.

WHAT HAS DAVETO Do
With the Appointment of Smith
Oenters Postmaster.

The sensational story in Mondays
Topeka State Journal in relation to the
change of postmasters in this city is
almost entirely a fabrication of mis-
statements, probably done to prejudice
the people or politicians in the matter
Smith County Pioneer, w. H Nelson,
editor.
It is true that the statement was in
error so far as John r. Mulvane was
concerned, but the Journals informant
insisted, when questioned, that it was
]. R. and not D. w. Mulvane who sent
the telegram. The following copy of
the message in question is seIf-explan-
atory:
wv. H. Nelson, Smith Center:
Wire me at once name of hest sound
money Democrat who will accept post
mastership at Smith Center.
ID. w. MULVANE-"
Jack Stewart, the present postmaster.
who is a free silver advocate and who
was in Topeka yesterday, said to a re-
porter for the Journal:
THE statement which appeared in the
Journal was true. Mr.. Nelson himself
came to me in the Office and stated that
he had been summoned to Topeka, by
Mulvane, to confer about postoffice
matters. Nelson asked me who I could
think of as a sound money Democrat,
and after We found there were none of
that faith in the county, he said:
- Stewart, if we can't do any better,
I'll tell the Mulvanes that you are a
sound money man..
4 told Nelson" continued Mr.. Stew
art. that such Misrepresentation would
be useless. / further told him that they
would have to settle the matter with
out any suggestions from me
The interesting thing about the whole
matter is naturally what the people of
Smith Center think about young Dave
Mulvane of Topeka choosing their post
master for them.
1t seems decidedly funny.

cATTLEMEN WANT BROWN.
Petition the Governor to Retain Him

Cattlemen in various parts of the
state are petitioning the governor to re
tain John 1. Brown of Delphos as
member of the state live stock sanitary
commission. Mr.. Brown was appointed
by Governor Lewelling and was not dis
turbed by Governor Morrill,
Governor Leedy appointed Taylor Rid
die of Marion to succeed Mr.. Brown
after April 1. Frank WeineShank of
Kingman was also given a place on the
board to succeed J. B. Vincent of
Hutchinson. This indicates that the
governor contemplates permitting J. w.
Johnston, the Republican to complete
his term which extends for another
year.
The cattlemen, judging from the pc
titiOns, want Johnston removed and
Brown reappointed in lis place. This
would place three Populists on the
