Kansas City Times. 1e.
Albert S. Warner, New York
lawyer, one of the three men who, it
is alleged, kidnapped little Johnny
Conway at Albany, n. Y, last Au-
gust, was arrested on farm pear
Riley Center, Kan Monday night,
aud brought to Kansas City at s
o'clock yesterday morning. He is
now locked upa at police headquarters
pending the arrival of requisition
papers from New York.
The arrest of Warner disposes of
the last of the three men who plan,
ned and executed the famous Con.
way kidnapping. Joseph Hardy and
John Blake, the other two men, are
now serving terms OF fourteen years
each at Sing Sing for the crime
Hardy was arrested at Albany the
day after the plo. was discovered.
Blake was caught in Schenectady
few days after, but Warner made
good his escape and succeeded in
eluding the officers until Tuesday.
Warner Was brought to Kansas
City yester day morning from Riley
Center, by Detective Jos. McCann
Of Albany and Piukerton Operative
Thomas, who arrested him on the
farm OF q Mr.. Goodrich, where he
was employed as a common laborer.
When arrested he gave the name of
George johnson, the name by which
tho farmer knew him, and said that
he had never worked at any other
occupation. The officers boarded
the first train out of Riley Center
about 10 o'clock Tuesday night, and
before Junction City was reached
Warner had broken down and ad
mitted his identity. At first be con.
sented to 60 back to the scene Of
the crime without requisition papers.
but when Kansas City was reached
yesterday morning he refused to go
further without the papers. He will
be held here until they are obtained.
STORY OF THE KIDNAPPING.
The history of the kidnapping is an
intere sting one. On August 16 last
Johnny Conway, the 5.year old son
of John Conway, wealthy citizen
OF Albany, N. Y, was playing in his
fathers yard, when closed carriage
drove up to the gate and a we'll
dressed man alighted.
'Don't you want to take a ride,
my little man. the man asked with
apleasant smile.
Eyes, sir" responded the child.
The man then lifted johnny into
the carriage and drove rapidly away,
without being observed by any
member of the Conway family.
When the child was missed it
was believed he was lost, and a
diligent search was made for him.
The theory entertained by the
Conway family that the child had
been lost was dispelled the night
after the kidnapping, when John Con
way. the father. found slipped under
his door note offering to return his
child unharmed for $4,000 A spot
was named where he should leave
the mouey, which the note explained
must be in gold. The note stated
further, that the boy would be mur.
dered if the police were notified.
Notwithstanding this warning the
police were notified, and the lone.

much greater than is commonly sup
posed. From the most reliable data
at hand it may be stated that in Europe
the cost of erecting factory with the
most modern machinery, of a capacity of
at least 300 tons of beets per day, is about
100000, Ia this country it is probable
that, owing to the increased cost, a
similar factory would be at least $780,
600. AS has been intimated before, it is
not advisable to attempt to manufacture
beet sugar with smaller factories or with
machinery and appliances which do not
represent the latest i'm provements. 1t is
true that there are many parts of sugar
factory which have not changed much
within the last 20 years, but even the
multiple effect apparatus, the strike pans,
and the centrifugals, which represent the
most stable parts of the machinery, have
undergone considerable changes within
the time mentioned. Probably one of
the greatest dangers which the beet
growing industry in this country will
meet is the tendency to begin the erec-
t'on of beet sugar factory with cheap,
old or worn. out apparatus and appliances
and without proper technical study of
all the questions involved. The avoid
ance of this danger is all the more diff.
cult, because there are few engineers in
this country who have devoted themselves
to the study of this problem, and
European experts are not likely to un-
derstand and mprehend American meth.
DDS and measures. Numerous inquiries
have been received at this office for
directions for making beet sugar with
such appliances as cider mill and sorg-
hum molasses evaporation might afford.
1t would not be right to encourage the at
tempt to manufacture beet sugar in any
such way. Nor should the expectation be
excited among our farmers that they will
be able to make crude article of sugar
which they can dispose of to central
factory for refining purposes. 1t is best
to recognize at the very first the great
expense which attends the erection of a
sugar factory and the necessity for its
meeting every modern requirement. Beet
growing and beet sugar manufacture are
two distinct industries, but with common
aims and interests"

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

The Daily Exchange Report issued by
Macy and Pendleton, brokers and bank
ers of As Broadway, New York City, says
in it's last issue:
Europe seems to want our gold more
than she wants our wheat. The DISPOSE
ton of Japan and Austria to get theil
gold where it is the cheapest is bott
natural to them and profitable to us
America produces annually more golf
than is likely to be shipped in 1897. The
weak point in our situation is the &C
cumulation of wooden, cotton and silk
textile fabrics and raw sugar with the ex
pectation of profit from the duty to be
levied when the tariff bill passes. This
will delay the date at which under the OBJ
erations of the new bill the monthly
revenue deficiency can be covered, but it
will not defeat the reviving courage and
the strong determination of business men
to recover under improved conditions
the money losses and time wasted during
the past four years.

under the title "The Coronado Expedi-

The volume contains also some other

Among them the Spanish text and Eng
