supt. stryker and D. o. McCray Agree
to "Make Up"

Some weeks ago superintendent Stry-
lxer was very positive in his statements
to a Journal reporter that he would not

However, he has changed his mind and

mOny in their official capacities.
Mr.. Stryker met McCEay in the state

against you and you have won yours
against me-"

replied McCTay.
Il would have preferred someone else
in your place but I can't help it now"
continued Stryker.

would also prefer to have some other
man in your place, but do not see but
what I will be compelled to submit" re-
joined McCray.
I'VE are in exactly similar positions"
said Mr.. Stryker, so let US make the
best of it and serve the people to the
best advantage that we can"
TO all of which I most heartily
agree" replied NIcCray and the two men
who have been fighting each other for
two months walked together in peace.

WHY DID THEY CONVICT
Him if the Man was Innocent as the
Facts Seem to Show.


The state board of pardons has rec
commended that James Peterson, SEN
fenced in 1894 to six years in the peni-
tertiary for burglary, be pardoned by
the governor.
Peterson was at the time of his ar
rest, at Oskaloosa, II years of age. He
came from Nebraska, where he had
been thrown out of employment. His
money was exhausted and his clothes
were ragged. His whole appearance
was such that, it is stated in the
boards report, he was informed sew
eral times that ''tramps" were not
given work in Kansas. In sheer deS-
perattOn," so the report says, Peterson
broke into a store and stole a suit of
clothes valued at So. He went to Kan
jured in an accident, being thereafter
taken to the hospital. While there he
was arrested, and when able to traved
was taken to OskalOosa and convicted.
The pardon is recommended by Judge
Myers, who sentenced Peterson, and
H. B. Schaffer, who prosecuted him.
The board has made the following ad-
ditiOnal recommendations to the gov
ernor:
That pardon be refused to William
Hupp of Sedgwick county, sentenced to
eleven years in 1895 for burglary and
grand larceny.
That the nine-year sentence Of E. B.
King and James Martin of Neosho
second degree, be committed to seven
years.
That the five year sentence of A. T.
Cole of Reno, convicted of burglary in
the second degree, be committed to
four years.

HEAVY BANK FAILURE
One of the Most Prominent Institu-
tions in the South Assigns

Norfolk, Va, April 2S.-Business circles
were startled today by the news of the
assignment of N. Burruss, Son & Co.,
one of the most prominent and widely
known banking firms in the south A
deed was fled transferring to Judge Gar
nett, as assignee, all properties held by
Captain Burruss individually, or as
firm, to secure creditors
The liabilities are from 100000 to $780,
900; assets stated by the firm to be $780,
600 available with nominal assets much
more. 1t is stated that the bank will pay
in full. and this is probably fact, as
most of the property transferred IS val
liable city real estate. In addition to this,
there is large amount of personal prop
erty.
The assignee is instructed to wind up
the business at once. Captain Burruss
gives as the cause of the failure hard
times and a great demand for money;
SIZE, 900 having been withdrawn from the
bank since January 1.
The bank did an immense business. It's
failure was a complete surprise as it
was considered one of the most sub
stanti;al institutions of the sort in the
country.

c. E. RATES FIXED.
Fare Will be $50 From Chicago to
San Fran cisco.

Chicago, April 28.-Western passenger
officials are rejoicing over the settlement
of troubles regarding rates for the con-
vention of the Christian EndeavOr society
at San Francisco in July.
The Southern Pacific had out for
round trip rate of $50. while the other
western roads would not consent to round
trip rates, because they feared nanipu-
la-tion by the scalpers
Last Saturday a proposition was tele-
graphed the Southern Pacific that one
way rate of $25 from Chicago to San
Francisco be adopted. To this PROPOSE
ton a reply has just been received from
General Passenger Agent Goodman or the
Southern Pacific. accepting the S25 rate or
the western ros9ds. This gives the En-
deavor people lower rates than they
would have had otherwise.

bank. Being the organizer, of course he
was elected president, and the people
intrusted their savings to his care to the
extent of several hundred thousand dol
lars. Among other deposits were the en-
tire funds of the University of Illinois.
To all outward appearances President
Spalding's bank was in a highly pros
porous condition, but short time ago it
was discovered that the money which
should be there was missing. President
Spalding was accused of misappropriat-
ing the same, and he has used the live
lest kind of efforts to keep out Of Jail.
The investigation of the accused bank
er's past record has brought to light the
fact that Miss Louise Erwin, prepos-
sessiDg young woman of %, has for ten
years enjoyed Mr.. SpaIding's friendship.
When their acquaintance began, she was
typewriter in the employ of a whole
sale coal firm of which Mr.. Spalding
was a member Her father was car
penter in humble circumstances. Miss
Erwin S financial condition began to i'm
prove. She gave up typewriting and
went east for a term at a boarding
school. When she returned, she settled
with her family in a suburb Of Chicago.
The Ervins moved into house as fine
as that occupied by the banker himself
and exactly opposite. Miss Erwin wore
furs and diamonds Mrs. Spalding, a
niece of the late Oliver Optic, objected
to the intimacy, and there was a separa-
ton. These are a few incidents in the
career of the president of the wrecked

SCHOLAR AND DIPLOMAT.
Career of DR.. James b. Angel, the New
Minister to Turkey.

In view of the present disturbed con-
dition of affairs in the east it is fortu-
nate that the United States is to be rep
resented at Constantinople by such
mature and discreet diplomat as DR..
James B. Angel, who has been appoint
ed minister to Turkey. This is the third
occasion on which DR.. Angel has sus-
pended his work as an educator to enter
the diplomatic service. In 1879 Presi-
dent Hayes appointed him minister to
China for the special purpose of negoti-
ating treaty which would allow US to
restrict Chinese immigration, and in
1887 President Cleveland chose him for
one of the commissioners to settle the
fisheries dispute with Great Britain.
DR.. Angeles life work, however, has
been in the educational field. Two years
after he was graduated from Brown uni
versity he took the chair of modern Ian
guages in that institution. Then for
period of six years during the war he
was editor of the Providence Journal,
