The above special dispatch ap- peared in the Sunday issue of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It is so mixed up that it is entirely unintelli- gible. Miss MeEwen's stage name is not O'Malley. Neither has sine a father or sister with the company. She is a Pine Bluff girl and is most excellent young lady. Sometime ago similar report was sent out from Kansas City, and proved to be entirely untrue, as in no doubt the case in the above instance. Mir, Clement and his company recently played here at which time Mir. Glenn ent and his wife and Miss MeEwen were cordially entertained by the latter's friends. To all appearances there was no jealously on the part of Mrs. Clement and the latter and Miss McEwen seemed fast friends.
 The report sent out from Joplin Mo, is no doubt the creation of the imaginative brain of a sensational cOrresDOndent.

CLAY CLEMENT co.
Said to Be Broken Up Because
 of Mrs. Clements Jealousy.

JOPLIN, Mo-, Feb. 19.-Clay Clem- ent and his company appeared in Joplin Wednesday night and quar- rel among them resulted in the res ignation of his leadiAg lady, Miss O'Malley, whose stage name is Nell McEwen, and her sister and father.
 The trouble grew out of MT. Glenn ent's ferYent kisses planted upon the lips of Miss McEwen Clements wife travels with him as Miss Kenwyn, and it seems she objects to her hus- bands fiery oscillations. Last Wednesday night Clement showed his Independence by taking Miss Me Ewen's pretty face in his hands and kissing her lips with such relish and fervor that Mrs. Clement objected. He did it repeatedly and the audi euce stoned it's approval. Thee rel that followed at the end of the second act caused Miss McEwen's s sister to faint. Clement remarked that he was weary of such scenes and the whole O'Malley family gave notice of resignation.

KHALIFA SURROUNDED
And Will Either Be Killed or Captur-
ed in q Few DAVIS

London. Sept. 16.-The Daily Tele-
graphs special correspondent with the
AnSlo-EgyptIan forces in the Soudan
telegraphed that he had had an inter-
view with the captain of the boat
which has returned from FashOda and
that the captains description of the
nag raising leaves no doubt that it is
French.
The captain says the garrison at
FashOda menaced him and would have
sunk his boat if they had possessed a
gun After getting out of the zone OF
the garrisOn'S fire the captain landed
and ascertained from natives that the
dervtshes at FashOda had been attack
ed by force of Europeans and hun
dred Senegalese soldiers, who defeated
the deryishes, killing a hundred and
drove the rest in precipitate flight from
the town.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
SAYS:
There is no doubt that this is the
Marchand expedition
The dispatch was sent from Assouah
and the captain interviewed belOn egad
to the steamer Tewfiz one of the der
wish steamers which surrendered to
Gen. Kitchener on its return from F'a-
shoda.
The correspondent described General
KitchenerAs efforts to prevent the news
reaching England.
He says: Il wired this Identical news
a week ago from Omdurman
THE sirdar refused to allow any cor
respondent to accompany him south of
Omdurman or to go Independently. He
compelled us to sell our horses and
camels and then told US unless we re-
turned northward forthwith he could
not guarantee US transportation.
Gen. Kitchener has sent 500 Sou
danese, 200 men of the Cameron high
landers, two batteries of Nordenfeldt
mountain guns and several maxirns on
board the gunbOats Sultan and Shiekni
The Sirdar accompanies the force on

RAISED HIS OWN SALARY.
Greensburg's Ex-Postmaster May Be
Held by Federal Grand jury.

Wichita, Sept. leone of the most in
tereStlng cases to come before the
grand jury now in session in the federal
court building is that of Postmaster
Roberts of Greensburg. The case against
Roberts was carefully gone into by in
spectors and officials some months ago
and he will probably be indicted The
charge against him is for methods en-
plOyed by him in raising his salary. He
succeeded by some sort of manipulation
in raising his salary from SAT per
month, the amount usually paid there
IN the last eight years, to $50 and $97 per
month
about $91 per month when J. L Parcel
of the Signal was appointed postmaster.
Mr.. Parcel could not by any means Sc
cure stamp sales and cancellations
enough to amount to more than S45, and
there was Immediately raised a ques-
ton as to how Roberts could draw SGT
and run his cancellation up to 500 per
month, and from that to $3.50. Upon
investigation it was shown that he told
patrons when they came to the office to
buy money orders, that he was Just out
of blanks. He would offer stamps in
stead, with the promise that if they
were not taken he would refund the
money and the purchaser would not be
out anything
By this and similar methods he sue
ceeded in doubling his salary, and by
manipulation he always succeeded, too
in keeping the Office out of the list of
presidential or salaried offices. The
offense is serious.

NIPPED ON THE EVE
Of Having 6 Good Time, Charged
With an Old Crime.

Chicago. Sept. ia. F. Crofton, who
returned from the Klondike country
three days ago, has been arrested
charged with passing a forged draft for
$1,000, three years ago, on the First Ma
tiOnal bank of Chicago. Crofton strong
~ denies his guilt
Five years ago, the police authorities
say, CrOfton and one J. Jellette passed
bogus drafts on Chicago, Montreal and
Winnipeg, Manitoba banks to the ex-
tent of $12, 500. Jellette was sentenced
to five years at Winnipeg and Crofton
was caught in Ell PasO, Texas, and
brought back to Chicago for trial. Ow-
ing to his youth he was given an in
determinate term in the Pontiac re-
formatOry. Having served one year
CrOftOn managed to secure his release.
After leaving Pontiac, the police state,
CrOftOn, by representing himself as the
western agent of a Boston, Mass, in
vestment company, managed to secure
81, 200 from the First Rational bank of
Chicago. He is then said to have gone
to Dyea, Alaska, where he struck it
rich, and was on his way east to spend
the winter when arrested.

A Most Gorgeous Spectacular Produc-
ton From Midsummer Nights
Dream.

Special and elaborate scenery and eff
fects have been arranged and painted for
the scene in the depths of the sea of the
Queen of the Sea- for the Fall Festival
floral parade benefit, September 2O-21.
The queens chariot, large shell drawn
by sea dragons, the dances of naiads, sea
nymphs, dragon flies, demons fays, mer-
maids and flying cupids will make
scene of splendor.
The production is to be given under the
auspices of the floral committee, to raise
funds to make this years floral parade
grand success. Every person in the city
ought to take a personal interest in this
and patronize it literally. As there will
be no floral ball this year, this is the only
benefit the committee asks them to assist
in. and the price of admission has been
placed very low, so that no one will feel
it is unreasonable.

INSURANCE MEN
Will Meet in Detroit Next Year
Papers Read and Discussed.

Milwaukee, Wis. Sept. 16.-At the con-
ventiOn of the national insurance COM
Inissioners, the committee on next place
of meeting reported in favor of De-
troit and recommended that the con-
vention be held on the first or second
Tuesday of September of next year. The
report was unanimously adopted. Geo.
Dyer Eldridge of New York spoke
on the assessment system of life insur-
ance.
Mr.. EIdridge says the subject was one
so broad that it might seem to present
too extensive phases of life insurance,
were it possible to cover the field. He
recalled the fact that insurance men
received a shock the past few years by
the going down of two great assess
ment companies, which caused many to
think whether or not a crime had been
committed. To many minds the most
pronounced tendency of the assessment
movement has been in direction of as
simiIating itself to so-called old line in
surance for which is claimed every fac
tor of sound theory and practice.
