A 'POSSUM HUNT.
Police Go After Tramps but Return
With Game.

Special Agent S. Watts of the Rock
Island recently took the lead in a hunt
with police officers for tough characters
which had been seen along the Rock
Island tracks to the west. There were
Sergeant Owen, Patrolmen KeSson and
Close and Constable Williams.
They tramped along for some distance
Watts in the lead. Soon he got clear
out of their sight. They heard a pistol
shot. There, he's got him." said Ser
geant Owen.
Fearing that there was a fierce strug-
gle going on between the officer and
his man, they ran at all possible speed
in the direction from whence the noise
had come. Constable Williams was the
first one over the brow of the hill. He
beheld Watts standing proudly at the
foot of a tall tree with a smoking revol-
yer in one hand, while he held aloft in
the other dead OpOSSum.
The other officers came putting up
soon and a good laugh was had Watts
had seen the 'possum on a high limb of
the tree and brought him down with one
shot from his revolver. The 'possum
was taken to the city prison and turned
over to the city prisoners.

Father Makes the Com plant

New York, March arthur White
the sportive son of Deacon 5. V. White.
was suspended today from the stock
exchange, of which he has been a mem
Der since May 10, 1887. The proceed
ing in his case was most unusual, the
complaint of his insolvency having been
made to the exchange by the young
mans father.
Young White had no contracts out
standing on the exchange, and his
father is authority for the statement

at No. Wall street, for nearly two
months 1t is said he has borrowed
large sums Cof money and incurred
heavy Indebtedness.
The suspended member is 80 years
old and is a graduate of Yale.
When seen today the Elder White
said: Il grieve very much over the
course my son has pursued, and have
tried to bring him to his Senses but it
has been no use. He has become in
volved in outside affairs, and it became
necessary to bring the matter to an
issue"

President McKinley's Inaugural Ad-
dress Just Suits Them.


London, March 5.-The financial
clauses of President McKinley's adj
dress have been received in business
circles here with every expression of
satisfaction. The representatives of
the Rothschilds banking house say they
taken by the president, adding: TT is

SWAN SIXTY MILES.
Rem arkabIe Feat of q Dog Bent on
Following His Master.

Jeffersonvil1e, Ind, March Blush
Anderson, wife and family dog, of this
city, for a year or more have been Iiv-
ing in a shanty boat at High Bridge on
the Kentucky river. Yesterday An
derson decided to float down the river
to Jeffersonville, and on reaching Car
rollton, at midnight, he stopped at that
city to purchase some provisions at q
store. The dog followed Anderson and
on returning to the river was missing.
Anderson gave him up as lost.
At o'clock this morning the boat
and it's occupants left Carrollton and
arrived here twelve hours later. The
boat was no sooner made fast to the
bank than Anderson's dog was seen in
midstream swimming for the shore
where the boat lay. He was fished
out of the water chilled to the marrow.
Realizing that his master had gone
without him the dog had jumped into
the water and swan from CarrOllton
to this city, a distance of 60 miles. He
belongs to that class of CANNES known
as a beagle hound, and is seven months

JOINTS TO BE CLOSED.
This is the RumOr That is Be-
ing Circulated.
They Are to Be Shut Up After
Legislature AdjOurns.
Didn't Want to Stir Up Agitation
While Legislature Was in Session
for Fear of Adverse Legislation.

The latest story connected with the
non-enforcement of the prohibitory law
in Topeka is that the joints Will be
closed as soon as the legislature ad-
journs
That may sound strange, but it comes
from an intimate friend of the police
commissioners who says that the board
has very good reason for not closing
the joints. He says:
Il happen to know that it was the
policy of the administration to close
the joints. That was the plan agreed
upon, but before it could be carried
into execution the Legislature threw a
bOmbShell into police circles by looking
with favor upon a bill to abolish the
metropolitan police system. There was
CONSERVATION when the bill passed the
house and was sent to the senate, but
the Office holders got in their work and
held the bill up before it got through
the senate.
Agitation is a bad thing in matters
of this kind, and after the thing was
safely slumbering in the pocket of
some senator the police board and
everyone connected with the department
began a period of protracted silence.
Many of the members of the legis-
1ature patronize the joints, and if the
police began to proceed against the
drinking places it would naturally
bring some of the members of the legis-
lature into prominence in an unpleaS-
ant way, besides putting a stop to
their source of supply for liquor.
''All this revolved in the minds of the
police board and they did not care to
stir up the members of the legislature
in a way which would refresh their
memories concerning the metropolitan
police bill, so it was agreed that moth
ing should be done until after the legis-
lature has adjourned and the law max
ers have gone home so that all possible
danger of unfavOrable legislation has
ben removed -
The joints have become more numer-
Gus since the legislature convened, and
the keepers do not appear to De the least
concerned about the future, but they
would do we'll to keep their eyes open.
Two men have been working under the
supervision of the police department for
two weeks securing evidence against
jointists. One of the men connected
with the police department said day
or two ago that enough evidence has
been secured to convict every jointiSt
in Topeka.
Police Commissioners Keith and Hen
derson have both said to their friends
that the Topeka joints will be closed.
and no doubt they will be after the
legislature adjOurnS.

MORE OF THE JAP
Kinai Maru, With $50
From Japan.
Investigate Begins Today-Sup-
posed to be Free
LabOrerS.

The Japanese steamer Kinai Maru.
Sakata master, arrived from Japan
yesterday. DR.. Day boarded the yes
sal and found her in good sanitary
condition, and as it was 20 days since
she left her last port, she was clear of
the quarantine regulations. Port Sur
veyor Stratemeyer boarded her and
found $50 steerage and two cabin pas
sengers. Her clearance papers were
right, but the purser had neglected TO
put on his manifest the number of the
passport opposite the name OF the
passenger. This is an imperative rule
OF the Custom House, and Mr.. Strate-
meyer refused to investigate the cases
of the immigrants until the purser
had made the entries on the mani
fest.
The $50 immigrants are $40 males,
122 females and IS children. They
are consigned to the Kobe Immigra-
ton Company, and are believed to be
of the student Glass; From one of
the immigration agents it was learned
that the Japanese Government will
decline to encourage any more con-
tract laborers coming here, but will
advise the free laborers to come. He
stated, also, that the tendency of the
plantation managers is to reduce
wages. For that reason the Japanese
Government prefers to let the stu
dents come over and take chances.
ghe investigation of this lot of Jap
anese will begin today at 9 o'clock.
Minister Cooper, Collector General
Castle, Interpreter Doyle, Surveyor
Stratemeyer, Stenographer Marx and
Secretaries Macintosh and Hapai
will be present until the work is COM
