The clerks at O. Dardeau' $
store have been keeping their
eyes open for a sneak theft who
has been pilfering articles left On
the counter. Last night their at
tention was directed to the suspi-
cious actions of Armand Prejean,
a negro hanging around the store.
They were not kept in suspense
long, for taking advantage of sup
posed inattention he casually
hung on to pa1r of boots and
strolled out. The clerks started
after him, and after long and
exciting chase cornered him in an
old blacksmith shop, and he is
now languishing behind the bars.

WHEELMEN'S NEW TRACK.
The Fund is Now Sufficient to Begin
Its Construction.

The Topeka Wheelmen. the club or
ganized for the purpose, has sufficient
money to build bicycle track at Gar
field park and it is expected that work
will begin in a few days. Ten days will
be required to complete the track.
The length of the track has not been
determined. 1t was the intention of
the wheelmen to construct a third-miie
track but the management of the park,
Marsha1Fs band, wants a quarter mile
The argument used in support of this
is that a quarter track will permit the
public to see more of the races than
could be seen on a track of greater di-
mansions.
The executive committee of the
wheelmen's club is hanging out for a
third, but an agreement will be reached
in a short time and work will begin.
The track will be completed at once
and the erection of a suitable fence to
enclose it will follow Immediately.
The wheelmen have not yet realized
sufficient money to build large grand
erected until they are financially able
to put up a better one.
The track will be built at the south
side of the park where the present track
is now located. A large amount of
work will be required to put the
grounds in shape. The track will have
an eight foot embankment at the
turns and will be a strictly modern BIZ
cycle track in every particular.
J. B. Doncyson is the chief promoter
of the enterprise, although all wheelmen
in the city are taking an active and fin
ancial interest in it.

Independence, April 27.-The man ar

murder of Officer William Kline at Cof-

derer. He gives his name as Joe But
Ter and his age as 50. He has severe

We're with him when he fired the fatal
shot.
When he was brought up through Cof-

about a thousand people gathered at the
depot and no doubt would have hung him
If they had had a chance, but the Of
Ulcers were anticipating something of that
kind at Coffeyville, and before the train
got into town he taken from the
train and placed in a carriage. He was
hurriedly driven around the town and the
train waited for him again on this side
of town, and in this manner trouble was
averted. A revolver in the possession of
one of the other men has been identified
as that of the dead officer, so it is thought
they had hand in the affair.

DEFEAT FOR LELAND.
His Man, I. N. Ury, Not Appointed
Usage Indian Agent

Cyrus Leland has been turned down
again by the appointment of an agent
for the Usage Indians in the Territory.
The president has appointed William ].
Pollock of Washington to the position
and in doing so turned down I. N. Try
of Fort Scott who was being backed by
Mr.. Leland.
Governor Barnes and the Oklahoma
politicians have been pushing Mr..
Walker of Oklahoma for the place.
Col. Freeman, the present agent for
the Osages, is an army officer, and he,
of course, will go with his regiment to
the front during the war with Spain.
The appointment of Pollock as agent
is believed to be the beginning of a new
deal in the territory, or that part of 1t
which is governed for the Osages, the
wealthiest Indian nation in the world.
1t will also result in a complete rout of
the old traders there, whose conduct
for a dozen years or more, has MADE
it necessary for the senate committee
on Indian affairs to make searching
and sweeping investigation, resulting in
a very black eye to a number OF trad
ers under the Freeman administration.

WOMEN AS MASONS.
New York Women Who Believe in
the Occult.

New York, April DISCRIMINATION
Mystic LODGE was organized at its
headquarters in the Tuxedo, Madison
avenue, and Fifty-ninth street, and the
ambition of several clubwomen to be
real Masons" was thus satisfied. Mrs.
May Banks Stacey is the president, and
the ritual to be used will be that of the
first woman's lodge, founded in France
in 1885, of which the Empress Josephine
was a member. These women will call
themselves MasonistS, and follow the
ritual laid down in Albert Pixies man
ual.
That the movement is no idle paStime
is evident from the fact that not only
is it in the hands of some of the best
known club women in the city, but it
has so far been vouched for by promi-
nent Masons. and it's object heartily in

the big Dresbach deal six years ago.
May wheat sold yesterday at $1.73, De-
cember $1.69. Less than 40 days ago
May wheat was selling at $1.35 and
December at 81. %.
One cause of the advance comes from
a very sharp European market. An
other reason is the sharp bidding by
millers for milling wheat, as much as
$3.50 being paid for only fair milling.
The Port Coast mills are bringing
wheat from Oregon to meet their
wants.
The advance in the price of cereals
has caused three brokers to go to the
wall, otherwise the trade has lived
through it without disaster. Probably
the biggest winner is Harry E. Wise,
son of ex-Collector of the Port Wise.
