ALL WERE DEAD
In the Second Boat of the st. Nazaire,
Which Has Been Found.

New York, March 23.-The Cromwell
line steamer Creole, Captain eager,
from New Orleans, reports that in pass
ing a boat belonging to the Inflated
French steamer Villa de ST Nazairc,
was found off Hatteras, Monday, March
8, and was picked up with six dead bod
les in it,
The captain said that in latitude 80
and longitude 74.30 a boat was passed
filled with water. After going a short
distance he recalled the loss of the ST.
Nazaire, and, thinking it might belong
to her, turned the steamer and put
back When the steamer got alongside
it was seen that she contained six bod
les lying in heap under the seats and
her water was up to the gunwale. The
davitS were not strong enough to hoist
her from the water so the forward der
rick was swung over the side and the
boatswain was sent down to hook on
the tackle.
The tackle was first hooked to the
bow and hosting the boat SO as to emp
ty some of he water out of her, the
bodies were washed out of the other end
and immedia tely sank. The boat was
taken on board the Creole and brought
to port, and now lies in the steamers
dock awaiting the orders of the French
Steamship company.
Bread, water and clothing were found
on the boat.
The boat is a large one, about 40 feet
long and pointed at both ends. She
has the appearance of being quite old
caused by the buffeting of the waves
during the 10 days she has been in the
water. She held no oars, mast or sail

Cincinnati, March 23.-There is to be

SAVED BY ELECTRICITY.
Blantb er, the Murderer, Supposed to
Be Dead, is Revived.

Houston, Tex, March 23.-when the
telegraph office at Meridian, Tex, closed
last night it was considered impossible
for Jos. E. Blanther the alleged San
Francisco murderer, to recover. His
pulse had stopped and his breath stir
red not the fash of candle, but, with
a persistence born of desperation, the
physicians adopted heroic measures and
it is now thought they have saved his
life by means of electricity.
Several times during the night he was
given up by everyone except the physi-
clans. Today he is thought to be out Of
danger and will recover.
He positively refuses to talk and his
physicians will not allow him to be
questioned.
Blanther taught school at Kopperle,
near here and entertained his
neighbors of an evening with stories of
his travels on two continents. These
stories are found to coincide with the
travels of Blanther after he left Austria
and there is no doubt that the murderer
of Mrs. Langfeldt is now in the Jail at
Meridian

A FALL FIsTIc CARNIVAL
Is the Latest of Dan Stuart's Pro-
iects-

Carson, March 2S.-A story was circu-
lated here today as coming from San
Francisco to the effect that Dan Stu
art had given instructions to his local
representative, to tear down the pavil-
ion used for the COrbett-Fitzsimmon
fight and sell the lumber for what he
could get as he was going out of the
fight business. Mr.. Livingston was in
terviewad, and denies the rumor I'M
qualifiedly.
There is nothing in it, he said, "ar
that Mr.. Stuart has done is to give me
the authority to represent his interests
here while he is away and as for taking
down the arena that is, I am sure, very
far from his intention. On the contrary
he will use it again in September or Oc-
tOber for another carnival, although
just what the attractions will be is not
known to the public at the present time
There will probably be two or three
good fights but there will be other
things that will be of at least equal i'm
portance. Mr.. Stewart will return here
in May and will then commence to
work advertisements about the carni-

Identity of a Suicide.

Tacoma, Wash, March ga farm
er's boy at Hil1hurst discovered the de-
composed body of a man in a clump OF
bushes about a mile from town. The
coroner found that the dead man had
taken pains to prevent his identity be-
coming known by cutting off the names
from the clothing and the brands from
pencils, photographs and other articles,
but in one of his pockets was check
to a valise which had been sent from
Seattle to this city last April In the

taken in ST. Louis
The letters 20 T. F." were found up

body were found an empty whisky bot

STERNE FOR CONGRESS
Anti-Leland Republicans in
Shawnee Suggest His Name
In Case of a Deal Between Cur
tbs and Leland.
But Sterne Says He Wouldn't Have
a Seat in Congress as Gift-Why
Has Charlie Lobdell Moved
Into the First District.
Anal

Since Charlie Curtis was gathered
home by Cy Leland in the Bristow deal
politicians among the Republicans have
been wondering what sort of promises
LELAND has made to Curtis. 1t is very
generally believed among the Repub-
hcans that Leland has a promise out
to support w. j. Bailey of BaileyviIle
for congressman in the First district
next year. The deal that has been
made would indicate that Curtis has
secured a similar pledge from the DON
iphan county manager
Topeka Republicans are not fully de-
cided upon the course they will pursue
in this matter. Some who decline to
talk for publication suggest that Some
good man be selected from among the
faithful in this city to defeat Curtis in
Shawnee county. Having done this,
it is argued that the Shawnee delega-
ton could go into the convention with
the delegates unpledged and form such
alliances as would defeat Leland and
prevent the elimination of whatever
designs he may have upon handling
Curtis.
One of the old campaigners said to-
day: Topeka must select a man, de-
feat Charlie Curtis for the nomination
in this county and then go out and
take Leland's scalp. I do not know
who we could select to run against Cur
It's. However, believe it should be
done"
State Senator Sterne has been. sug-
gested for the nomination. His friends
believe that he could defeat almost
any one who might run, Mr.. Curtis not
excepted.
The present situation, therefore, in
dicateS that the next nomination of
congressman in the First district will
be accomplished after fight. So far
Mr.. Leland is concerned, he will
have difficulty in maintaining his place
as the boss. In Leavenworth, Shaw
nee, Atchison, jefferson, Jackson, Mem
aha and Brown, and Doniphan county
not excepted, the Republicans have
been in revolt against Leland, but have
been powerless to oppose him openly.
Now that he has secured the appoint
ment of his man Friday to deal out
postof1ices the small fry will get un-
der cover again and court the favor of
the Doniphan county apple jack king,
in the hope of being rewarded.
Charlie LObden will be a resident of
the district by the time the nomination
will be made, and it would not be sur
prising to see him attempt to break into
congress by way of the First district.
Then there is Stuart of DOniphan,
member of the legislature. Leland is
training him for the congressional race,
while young Bill Guthrie of Atchison
would not ignore an opportunity to take
a try at the place. In Brown county,
John Schilling, who is Leiand'S most
bitter enemy has an iron in the fire
with congressional tendencies. In JEFF
ferson county Senator Chas. F. john
son would not pass a chance of that
kind.
There is a candidate in every county
and each wants the place badly.

AN INFANTILE ROW.
High Schools of the State Quarreling
Over the Funds.

It would appear from an account in a
Leavenworth paper that there has been
considerable of a disturbance in high
school circles of the state over the re-
fusal of the secretary and treasurer of
the state high school oratorical associ-
alton to pay the Leavenworth high
school its share of the receipts at the
contest held in March, 1896. There was
1884, due Leavenworth which remain
to it:
1t now leaks out that some of the
high priests of the associa ton 'fixed''
the judges, that nothing was to come

ned with this injustice, the little fellows

BETTER TIMES COMING
Says Ex-Gov. Boies, But They Will
Not Be Owing to the Tariff

San Francisco, March 23.-Ex-Governor
Horace Boies of Iowa, has been
journing in Southern California for some
weeks past on the advice of his physi-
clan is here. His stay will be short, for
he intends going directly home via Ogden
the latter part of the week
THE financial question in this country,
he said last night in the course Of a
short interview, lis by no means settled
yet. The defeat of Bryan has not crush
ed and shattered the question of free sill
yer. McKinley's election did not mean
that the people of the United States are
opposed to free silver. The people of this
country want gold and silver together,
standard money. They will reach that
end In some way or another before many
years. The defeat of Bryan does not
mean that the people are opposed to hav-
ing silver go hand in hand with gold
as the basis of our American financial
system" Governor Boies believes that
trusts and combines should be wiped out
of existence.
The protective tariff the Mckinley adj
m1n1stration is now preparing, he went
on to say, will not restore good times.
| believe better times are coming. The
Republicans will say their high tariff was
the cause of the better times but such
a claim will not be logically true or cor
rect. Better times have always followed
our panics, regardless of tariffs, but
prosperity will not be permanent until
our financial system is changed to give
silver proper recognition as a standard
money along with gold.''

Law for the Collection of Debts Again
Operative in Cuba

Washington, March ga question
has arisen as to our Cuban relations
that will require delicate treatment in;
order to avoid working hardship to-
many Americans. About a. year ago
the Spanish government by decree sus-
pended the right of creditors to collect
debts in order to avert the threatened
ruin of the planters
This action was made the subject Of
energetic action by many of the credit
ors. The decree has expired and the
laws for the collection of debts have
become operative, and now there is an
other objection from Americans. The
point is that if our government protests
against the last phase of the case the
first protest Will lose force, while if it
fails to do so great hardships will fol-
low.

FLOOD AT VICKSBURG.
Heroic Efforts Are Being Made to

Vicksburg, Miss, March 23.-Inhabi-
tants of the Riparian districts of this
portion of the Mississippi valley are
rising with resistless energy and en-
thusiasm to grapple with the flood now
pouring down upon them. The fifth

here today and both its members and
those who attended it's meetings spoke
in confidence of the situation. 1t au-

A protection levee of 10000 cubic
yards was ordered to be built at once

where the Ievee is threatened with

below this city was ordered raised three

to the closing Of the White river basin,
over which the water formerly ran riot,

the Ward lake line is in great danger
and that all the available men and ma

Additional forces are being raised and

CORBETT WILL TOUR.
Fitz' Plans Are Not Yet Arranged for
the Future.

San Francisco, March 23.-Brady has
outlined his plans for Corbett's future
work. Next Saturday night the ex-
champion will appear at the Mac Don
Ough theater in Oakland in a sparring
exhibition, the entertainment being
rounded off by members of the Olym
pic and Reliance clubs. This show will
probably be followed by another in this
city, when Jim will show as specialist
in the middle of an Olympic club
minstrel show.
Brady says that the present season is
too far advanced to start a dramatic
show on the road but that he will take
Corbett across the continent next week
giving sparring contests in all the cit
les. Next fall he will put on the Ma
val Cadet once more and also a three
act comedy, probably Mr.. Wilkerson's
Widows or some similar play. Brady
is as determined as ever not to go away
from this city without pledging Fitz-
simmons to another battle.
The Australians future plans are not
yet arranged. He is deluged with Of
fers, but so far has accepted none but
the Sacramento proposition, which
proved a dismal financial failure last
night He returns here today.
Joe Corbett leaves for the east today
to join his baseball team for the sea-
son.

srERNE WOULDN'T HAVE IT
Charlie Curtis Not Likely to Have a
Rival in ShaWnee,s Senator.

A friend of Senator w. E. Sterne yes
terday said to him: Il think you ought
to come out for congress in case Curtis
has gone over to Leland. Charlie has
never been able to do anything for the
district except get $50, 900 for the post
office here, and during the same time
the state legislature has spent nearly
half a million and part of that time
the legislature has been Populist. That
would be a good record to go before
the people on"
a certificate of election to congress as
a gift, even if I could get it. 1t is all
right for me to be in the state senate
here at home, where can be in touch
with politics without having to go
awav from home, but nothing would
induce me to go away from here to at
tend a legislative body of any kind that
would take as much time as congress
would"

Women on School Board.

To the Public:
AT meeting early in February the
Suffrage association decided to recon-
mend some women for members of the
board of education, providing the con-
sent of women that seemed to them to
be capable could be secured to accept
such Endorsement and nomination. Com
mittees were appointed to call upon the
women chosen, and their consent to be-
come candidates was obtained.
At a meeting of the asSocia ton Feb.
%, their acceptance was announced
and a committee appointed to present
their names to every nominating body
irrespective of party.
In compliance with this action the
names will all be found on the tickets
at the coming election, and we hope the
voters will avail themselves OF the OPP
portunity to elect women to this i'm
portant office, for which justice seems
to demand a representation of women,
as none are so fully qualified to judge
what is best for the children as the
mothers.
