NJ. a. LOW SUCCESSFUL
In Ris Effort to Get C. H. Thompson
Appointed o. 5. Marshal

The news comes from Washington that
President Mckinley has decided to ap-
point c. H. Thompson of the claim de-
partment of the Rock Island, United
States marshal for Oklahoma, and that
his appointment will be officially an
nOunced3in a few days.
This is a decided victory for General
Solicitor NJ. A. Low of the Rock Island.
Thompson has been Mr.. Lows candi-
date from the start. When he went to
Washington last spring it was supposed
that it was in the interest of the can
didacy of Maj. T. J. Anderson for pen
sion agent, but it is now claimed that
his real business in Washington was to
urge the appointment of Mr. ThOmp-
son for United States marshal of Okla
homa- Whether that was his purpose
in visiting Washington it is certain
that is what he did.
While Mr.. ThompSOn's home is in
Enid, he has for some time past made
Topeka his headquarters. He has work
ed in the claim department of the Rock
Island at the general office building
whenever he was in the city and has
enjoyed the confidence of Mr.. Low.
This victory of Mr.. Low over men
like Senator CulIom, who urged the ap-
pointment of his brother, Gov. Barnes
and many others, marks Mr.. Low as
the rising political leader
Mr.. Low had the support of the Santa
Fe officials in his fight, for he has the
reputation of being able to cope with
the bandits who OVerrun the territory
and occasionally rob trains.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 26.-The warmest

to the effect that heavy snow has fallen

Two men now lie seriously wounded,
one at Christ hospital in this city and
the other at his home in the country

Lindsay is a brother of L. H. Lind
say, brOther-in-laW of Sage. It is
said that both men had been drinking,
and commenced a quarrel over the pos
session of a piece of land. Words led
to blows, and in the fistic encounter
Lindsay knocked Sage down several
times. When Sage gained his feet aft
er being knocked down the last time he
ran into the house and got a revolver,
placing it in his right hip-pocket When
he came out of the house Lindsay was
still in the yard, and he reached for
the revolver with the results as sta

Sage was brought to Christ hospital
in this city last night. The bullet plough

considered dangerous by the attending
physician. Lindsay is still at his home
IN Dover, and it is stated that his
wound is the most serious of the two.
Both men are prominent farmers in
that section of the county.

spending a part of his time visiting
friends at the state house.
Mr. Radley regards the Stah1ebacks
as the most dangerous criminals ever
captured in Kansas. He said today:
THE Stafiebacks. while not so crafty
and cunning as the Benders, were more
cold blOoded and dangerous, and I can
didly believe that no state in the union
has ever been infested by such a gang
of murderers and plunderers. Since
they have been arrested, tried, convict
ed and sent to the penitentiary. we
have traced at least a dozen butcheries
of human beings to this gang. Chero-
kee county people are all glad to see
them in the penitentiary."
Mr.. Radley has photographs of the
Staffleback family, and it would be diff
ficult to imagine three more villainous
men or a mother more depraved and
criminal in instinct as portrayed in
those pictures.

Americans in Havana Are
Alarmed Over the Situation.

Havana, Oct. 26.-ConsiderabIe ankle
ty is expressed among the American
residents of this city as to the outcome
of the demonstration which the volun-
teers are expected to make on Friday
or Saturday next upon the departure
of Gen. Weyler for Spain.
In spite of the orders from Madrid
and the steps taken by the Spanish Of
ficiaIs here, there is still apparently a
determination upon the part of the vol
unteers. who in this matter seem unwil-
ling to be controlled by their officers, to
make the generals departure from Ha
Vana the occasion of an anti-American
demonstration. Should this be the case
it is feared that serious trouble may
ensue and many families of this city
have be- heard to express more strong
ly than ever the wish that a United
States warship viii be present in this
harbOr to protect American life and
prODerty if necessary.

CITY WILL NOT ACCEPT
Offer of Waterworks Company-Asks
Further Concessions.

The city council at an executive meet
ing last night refused to accept the
terms for the settlement of the differ
ences between the city and the water
company, offered by President Street
and P. G. Hord of the company.
The whole matter was referred to the
special committee of three appointed
some time ago with instructions to in
form the officers of the new company
that the council will not consider the
proposition for settlement unless the
company agrees to a general reduction
of 20- per cent on all private rates. The
proposition was for a reduction of 20
per cent on all houses of five rooms or
less and for sprinkling.
It is not yet known whether or not
the company will accept tn s further de-
mand. 1t will be considered, and Mr..
Hord, who is in the city, will inform
the council of the decision in a day or
two.
The question now is whether or not
the litigation shall be continued or
whether the trouble between the city
and water company shall be amicably
adjusted so that the remaining four
years of life which the franchise has to
run. will not be one of law suits and
O1IaTroIS.

WILL BE SLOW WORK.
Putting in the Vestibules, but Will
Only be a Few Days Delay.

Owing to unforeseen difficulties the
Topeka Railway company will not be
able to have all its cars vesubuled by
November first. It was supposed that
the work could easily be completed by
that time, but the company is making
every effort to comply with the law
which requires that VeStibuleS shall be
in place by November 1. Mr.Joseph NJ.
Patten, manager of the Topeka Rail-
way company, before leaving for the
east yesterday, made the following
statement of the conditions, which is
the first official announcement from the
company. He said:
THE Topeka Railway company be-
gan in September to get ready to put
VestibuleS upon its cars. The lumber,
mainly of ash and poplar, had to be or
dered from the south. On Monday fol-
lowing the Festival three expert car
builders from the car building shops in
St. Louis were set at work in addition
to the whole force of the railway COM
pany's shops to try to get the cars
ready for service by November 1st. Ow-
ing to the fact that the cars were not
built originally for the addition of a
vestibule, and required changes in the
framing and fitting, the work has been
slow, and it is doubtful if all the cars
viii be completed by the date set for
the operating of the law, and on some
of the lines there may be a diminished
car service for a few days until cars
can be finished for service. The To-
peka Railway company realizing the
increased liability of accident by haV-
ing the motorman shut up in a vesti-
buIe has made a stringent order ex-
cIuding all persons, except certain Off
GERS of the company from riding in the
front vestibuIe, in order that the mo-
torman may have full opportunity to
control his car, and that his attention
may not be diverted by conversation
with any one. This rule is made ap-
plicable to the employees of the COM
pany as well as to the passengers, and
the violation of it is made a cause of
immediate discharge of both mOtorman
and conductor in charge of the car
THE company is making every effort
to get the cars finished as rapidly as
possible, having ten men, all that they
have shop room for, constantly at work
upon the vestibules, and should it be
necessary to diminish the service on
some of the lines, it will only be for a
few days. 1t was expected at the out
set that the vestibules would all be in
place by October 80. but some unfore-
seen difficulties having been met the
work has been slower than at first an
