BEGINS TO LOOK BAD
Williams Is Under Arrest for
Obtaining Money Illegally
WAITING !'OR LETTERS
To Come from Dead Letter
Office at Washington.

There seems to be something mysterious
connected with the case of ]. c. Will
Jams, the negro who worked the conf
dence of Mrs. Monroe and obtained her
money under the pretense OF keeping it
safe from the hands of pick-pockets and
thieves.
Mrs. Monroe arrived in the city yester-
day morning and during the day was in
consultation with the police and post
Office officials. A telegram mas been sent
TO Washington, d. C. for two letters that
is claimed VIII have some important bear
ing on the case. If It is found that the
contents nave been misrepresented. and
there is no money IN the envelopes, then
the United States authorities attention
VIII be called in the case. and IL the cir
cumstances are found to be as they ap-
pear at the present time, Mr.. Williams
viii find himself in very unpleasant
situation
This afternoon the wife Of Williams was
brought in from her parents farm and
taken before the money order clerk at the
postofice. 1t was soon settled that she
was not the woman who came TO the
window and claimed to be the rightful
owner OF the moneyfor which the money
orders were originally issued, and not for
warded TO Kansas City.
Mrs. Williams is a very nice looking
colored woman, whose family has repu-
tation that is considered good, and there
seems to be considerable sympathy ex-
pressed for the unfortunate wife who has
little 3-year-old baby to take care of.
The man Williams. 1t is said. has been
forbidden to trespass on the premises of
her parents place, where she now makes
her home.

PROF. ISELEY AND SPAIN
He Was Very Much Interested When
the Surrender Was Known

No man in town was more interested
in SPANS surrender yesterday than Prof.
Iseley of Paramount. He has long been
a student Of Spanish history. Yesterday
he said:
I'm gaining and losing territory, Spain
has had a remarkable career, unparal-
leled in the history of nations. Her his
tory as a nation. practically, does not be-
gin until the latter part of the fifteenth
century, when Ferdinand and Isabella,
through marriage, joined their little king
doms Of Aragon and CASTLE. They then
turned their united forces against the
Moors and in the year 1892 completed the
conquest OF Granada. thus securing pos
session OF modern Spain.
This was the same year that Columbus
made his memorable voyage. The Span
ism star was blazing forth in glorious
ascendancy. In less than a century she
was to be the dominant factor in the af-
fairs of nations. During this short period
she came into possession, either by con-
quest or inheritance, OF what today is
Holland, Belgium. Burgundy, more than
half of Italy, Portugal and with it Por-
tugals claims in South America. BY dis
covery she already had possession Of
nearly all the remaining portion Of South
America She had good title 20 Central
America, Mexico, Florida, and al the
territory of what is now the United States
west of the Mississippi; she owned nearly
all the West Indies, the Philippine islands
and mad colonies in north and west Afri-
ca What an empire! Glory, wealth.
power was hers. Her possessions en-
circled he world. The ottal territory IN
der sler dominions was more than ten
million five hundred thousand square
miles. An empire more extensive than
that OF either England or Russia; and
more than three times as great as ali the
land owned by Uncle Sam.
while the rise of Spain to power and
glory was unparalleled, her decline was
none the less rapid One by one she lost
her vast possessions. The Dutch were
first in the business OF p successful re-
bellion. Others followed. Uncle Sam has
just deprived wretched. miserable Spain
Of her last great trans marine possessions.
While she still owns a few coral strands
IN the mid-Pacific, and he's a aimsy claim
70 a small portion OF the desert Of Sahara
in west Africa, nothing else is left except
tia original homestead: a tract of terri
tory less than two-thirds the size OF
Texas. Poor. unhappy. decadent Spain"

FARMER GOT THE MONEY
Saw the POcketbOOk aad Promptly
GOtI

A pocketbook had been dropped at the
corner Of Main and First streets yesterday
afternoon. For a few minutes no one
noticed it. Then four draymen who were
standing near espied it. Just at that mo-
,rent a farmer came along and was about
20 plant his foot squarely upon the trea-
sure Instead he cooIy stopped and picked
g. up.
Hey, there" yelled the drsymen, what
are YOU going to do with thats?"
The same thing you fellars would" re-
pied the farmer.
But I know who lost it, explained one
OF the men.
'WeH, tell them I found it." said the
farmer as he walked away. after carefully
depositns the book in his pocket. He had
looked at the contents before he pocketed
