old John Conway, who has been at the
mercy of kidnapers since Monday morn

been placed under arrest, but Blake had
to be chased by the police. He denied
all knowledge of the affair when
caught, but was offered a ransom and
finally he confessed.
He piloted a party of reporters five
miles out in the cos Ky, where he left
them and in short time returned with
the boy in his arms. He was given
stuffed pocketbook for his ransom and
an effort ma de to arrest him. When he
saw that he had been trapped he pulled
a revolver, fired four shots and broke
away from his captors, who did not
pursue him, returning to the city with
the boy. Blake is still at large.

TONE IT DOWN.
The Moeser Ice Factory Racket a
Tirasome Nuisance.

Since thousands of people have de-
clared the Moeser ice factory whistle
a nuisance because it rouses them out
of their beds at an unseemly hour in
the morning and startles and annoys
the sick, the engineer seems to blow it
longer and more noisily than ever.
The people in the section of town
who are annoyed by the whistle ought
to send a petition to the council to
have it suppressed. Such a racket as
that is not necessary to the manufac-
ture of ice.
The Journal has received the follow
ing letter:
Topeka, Aug 49, 1897.
To the Editor of The State Journal.
Why cannot the city authorities make
some arrangement to have the ice
factory whistle used as a fire whistle
and thus shut off it's disturbance of the
peace? I, for one, have regretted that
it was necessary to discontinue the fire
whistle when the water works were
moved and should like to have some
means of knowing when there is fire
in the day time. But am not used to
getting up at O'Clock in the morning
to see who struck me. Yours truly,
d. DENHAM.
