A HEALER ARRESTED,
Christian Scientists to Test Kansas Citv
Health Ordinances.

a
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov b-A war
rant was issued last evening, at the
instance of the city health depart
mens, for the arrest of Mrs. A. j.
Baird, the Christian Science healer,
for violating the city's ordinances in
not reporting to the health depart
ment, SO that it could placard the
house, the case Of fatal diph liberia at
the house Of S. II. Kinney, GAL Wood
land avenue. An officer called with it
at Mrs. Baird:s home on Inde pendence
avenue and took her personal bond
Tor her appearance in court Saturday
Mrs A. J. Baird's arrest has caused
a sensation in Christian Science cir
cles. All me N bers of the faith will
rally to her defense. The case will be
a test case between the city and the
Christian Scien fists as to whether the
latter have right to ignore the con-
tagious disease ordinances. Mrs.
Baird has distinctly and repeatedly
said that if the city's laws conflict
with the spiritual laws under which
Christian Scientists work, the city's
laws must give way.

THIS is THE THIRD TIME.
Saws His Way Out of the Memphis,
Tenn, Jail-The Community Much
EXcited-His First Escape Was
from the Chicago Jail,
Which Attracted World
Wide Attention.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Nov. 9. j A.
1homas. the forger who mysteriously
escaped from Jail here April Is and was
recaptured by local police and Pink
erCon detectives at Moberly, Mo, =,
october :. again escaped before
oayllght this morning by saving iron
bars and scaling wall arope for the
latter purpose as we'll as a saw for the
1ormer, having been furnished from
the outside. The community is much
excited because Thomas is so we'll
known, although the recent escape is
not nearly SO sensational as it's prede
cessor.
The escape was Thomass third his
hrst having been from Chicago
JAIL, when wide attention was at
tracted. Another exploit which con
tr1buted considerably to his notorie,v
was his clandestine marriage at
st. Louis to Miss Fannie Rutherford
OF Minneapo is, Mimi, and his flight
with his bride to San Francisco after
the Christian Endeavorers last sum
mer. But Thomas is most widely
known by his forgeres, which have
been extensive.
Later this morning three other pris-
oners escaped through the breach
made by Thomas in the bars

THEY WILL TRY TO GETlT.
j. Pierpont Morgan Said to BE Behind
the Scheme the Representative
OF the Vanderbilt Interests
Kansas Pacific Line IL an
Indispensable Alton Con-
necttOn.

New YORK, Nov s. 6-Between now
and December l6, the date of sale OF
the Kansas Pacific railroad, which has
seemingly been abandoned by the
Union Pacific reorganization commit
tee, syndicate will, it is reported, be
formed with j. Pierpont Morgan at it's
head, which, it is understood will
buy the road for the use of the Chi
cago d Alton railway. This road has
traffic contract with the Kansas Pa
chic similar to the one the Chicago 81
Northwestern has with the Union Pa
citic, and it has found the Kansas
Pacific almost indispensable as an out
let from Kansas City to Denver. The
Alton has offered to lease it from the
syndicate, which is to secure it at the
foreclosure sale, and operate it, agree
ing to pay the actual net earnings to
the owners Of the property.
The Atoms offer, it is understood,
is being favorably considered. The
Vanderbilts are said to be anxious the
road should come under the control of
the Alton, as the latter is practically
the connection Of the Vanderbilt lines
from Chicago and st. Louis to Kansas
City.

A Good Recommendation.
ALBION. Nebr., Apr, 2S. 1897


Miss l.. A. Mint, art instructor. has
just closed a five we ks course of les
sons in art with the teachers and pu-
pills of our schools and it gives me much
pleasure to say that her work merits
the highest praise. Her methods of
instruction are eminently practical and
her presentation of the subject is such
as to arouse the enthusiasm and retain
the interest of her students. The prin-
ciples of execution in art are explained
in direct and simple way easily un-
derstood, and the work done is of a
practical nature. During her short
stay here she has put our teachers, and
the pupils who have taken the work,
on the right road to the study of art
and has created much interest in the
beauty and utility of the study. I con.
slider that we have been 10 uch benefited
by Ter work here and only wish that
she might see fit to remain longer.
Respectfully,

ANDREWS PRAISES GEORGE

Brown University President Pays High
Tribute to the Dead Reformer
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. 9.-E Ben
jamin Andrews, president of Brown
university, spoke at Henry George
memorial meeting last night for the
first time since he withdrew his resig-
nation as the head of brown universi-
ty. His address was one of high eulo-
gy to Henry George. The most inter
esting part of the address was when
the president of Brown denounced the
present system of taxation as unjust,
saying that IF the people knew really
how bad it is they would rise up and
sweep the government away" He
spoke with great earnestness and was
applauded repeatedly

CLARKSON BOOK ILLEGAL,
Judge Hazen of topeka Decides Against
the Insurance Rate Fixer

Judge Hazen of Topeka Decides Against
the insurance Rate Fixer
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 9.-Judge 8. Hazen
OF the district court to-day denied the
application Of Harrison Clarkson for
an injunction restraining Webb Nc
Nall as perintendent of insurance
from interfering with Clarkson's rat
ing bureau. McNall replied to Clark
sons petition by filing d demurrer,
but the judge overruled it and at the
same time denied the in njunction.
Judge Hasen says explicitly in his
decision that the rating bureau has
been conducted by Clarkson in viola
tion of the Kansas an thrust law and
that McNall has the right to revoke
the license of any insurance company
using Clarkson's rate book, which is
prepared and issued in violation of
law. This virtually knocks Clarkson
out and sustains McNall's course.
