There was something very realistic
about those last words of Mr.. Travis. He
delivered them in the same dreary mono
tone yet in a way that would convince
any man that the speaker meant what
he said.
Too Many Professional BungIers.
Travis remarked that many unneces-
sary deaths were caused by bungling
burglars. He said that he always car
ried two self-cocking revolvers, although
he had never used them in all his ex-
perience. Ordinarily he had such a
knowledge of the houses he entered that
+. he could evade anybody, and besides that
most persons are so alarmed by the very
presence of a burglar that they have
not the courage to resist.
There are times when Travis can
hardly realize that his career has been
checked and that he is in custody He is
exceedingly polite in his language, and

There were a few cheap things in the
array on two long tables at police
headquarters. There was some doubt
as to whether these had been stolen.
The articles, which were undoubtedly the
prizes of systematic housebreaking,
were not only expensive, but very artis-
tic. There was a solid silver salver of
either early English or Dutch manufac-
ture which had value high above the
price of bullion.
Rare Collections of Wares.
Many dealer in antiques would give
a good price for an old-fashioned silver
bowl which was one of the ornaments
of the collection. There was an opera
glass in gold and pearl from the shop
of a famous Paris optician. There were
old watches of Swiss and English manu-
facture.
There were jewel cases of unique de-
sig, gold rings minus their settings and
heavy gold locket bearing the monogram
silver have the same initials There were
umbrellas with gold heads and walking
sticks. Capt McClusky estimated that
this heterogeneous collection was worth
$1,000.
Numerous pawntickets were found,
which showed that the man had dispos-
ed of many articles near the home of his
mother near Ninth Avenue and Sixtieth
Street. Most of the goods were found
in that fiat His mother, is an aged
German woman. She and her daughter
are well and fayorably known to the res
idents of the neighborhood. She Is Mrs
Bursch. She said that she did not be-
lieve in her sons guilt. and had always
supposed that he was a commercial trav-
eler. He had been a silk weaver, which
fact, she said. accounted for the great
strength of his forearms. She said that
he had few associates and kept his af-
fairs to himself.

Lee for Military Governor

Washingtop, Aug. 3.-The prep
arations are being made TO dispatch
Mai. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and the 7th
Army Corps to Cuba immediately
after conclusion OF peace between
the United States and Spain. The
plans provide for the embarkstion
of the troops within a week if Spain
submits to our terms of peace.
For the last two weeks the 7th
Corps has been fully equipped by
the assignment of signal officers,
engineer officers and the surgeons
to duty under Gen. Lee, and the
regiments of his command have
been modified at Jack sonvllle. a
convenient point for embarkation.
1t has been generally understood
in official quarters for some time
that Gen. Lee would have the honor
of entering Havana with the troops
of his command. It was presumed
that this would be done in the fall,
when the campaign in northern Cuba
should be begun, bu5 now that an
early peace seems probable, Gen.
Lee will go in at the head of the
garrison force to administer the mill.

The troops will be distributed

corps will be withdrawn from Jack
sonville to join the provisional divis

Bland WIN be Chairman.

Springfield, Mo-, Aug. 9:-The
State committee has selected Con-
gresham Bland as temporary chair
man and Nick Griffin of st. Louis as
as temporary secretary The selec-
tion of Mr.. Bland was not a victory
for any faction or any candidate, and
his unanimous choice by the commit
tee was prompted BY a dssire for
harmony.
The name of Congressman Benton
is much talked of for permanent
chairman, but a movements 10 place

will be made permanent as we'll as

COME BACK HOME.

We have il from one who knows,
or ought to know, that the true pop
ulists of Bates county do not recog-
nize the so-called Peoples Party
Ticket now being carried in the ed.
itorial columns of the Free Press.
That it was nominated by men in
sympathy with the Middle-ofthe-
road element that bolted the state
convention in st. Louis, and that
the Free Press carries the boiling
state ticket over the county ticket.
In fact the gentleman to whom we
refer 10 one of the most prominent
pouplists in the county and has been
leader since the Inauguration of
that movement. He said that the
true populist of Bates county would
not vote for the ticket now being
run and that strong feeling exists
among them to call convention and
nominate ticket.
There ia no doubling the sounduess
of the gentleman's argument. The
ticket as now being run is from the
middle OF the road element, and the
regulars are not being recognized.
But we would suggest to these
gentlemen that the proper way to
administer a rebuke to the boilers
would be to vote the democratic
ticket Most of you would be simp.
ly getting back home. The demo
cratic platform now embraces the
the principal reforms for which you
commended when you left. It's doors
are wide open and you will be ac-
cepted without reproach or discrim-
ination. Come back home.

The Passing of a Historical Flag

Inc aSSlnS OF nlSiorICal RAG.
Now comes the news that one OF
the most famous flags owned by the
government is rapidly disintsgrating
from old age and lack Of attention.
the flag in which John Wilkes Booth
caught his foot as he jumped on the
stage of Ford's theater on the night
when he shot President Lincoln.
That flag had been made historic
even before the tragic scenes of the
assassination. It was made by the
women employed in the Treasury
department at the time when the
male employees organized to defend
the apItal from the threatened raid
of Ju"-l Early. The women pre-
ssntsu the flag TO the Treasury
guard Two nights before the as
sassiua ion the Treasury guard gave
an cut rtalL ment at Ford's theater
and the flag Was employed in the
decoration of the box on the right
of the stage. 1t looked so pretty
that tue management asked for a
continued loan Of it until after the
visit Of the President, which had
been announc ii for the 14th Of April
The rent in the flag made by Booth
spur is still plainly visible.-Ex
