TOUGH ON JERRY.
The Governor Might or Might Not
Be Testing.

Topeka, June 2.-Congressman Jerry
Simpson will not go to war on the
motion of Governor Leedy. His patri-
otism and aspirations to be colonel of
a Kansas regiment received a setback
today on the receipt of the following
telegram sent him at noon by the Kan
sas executive:
Hon Jerry Simpson, Washington.

receipt of your patriotic tender of SER
vice to the nation in the present con-
fiict with Spain. While I appreciate
the high motives of patriotism which
prompt the personal tender of service
in the cause of our common country,
l am inclined to believe in common
with other citizens of the state OF Kan
sas and especially with the citizens of
the Seventh district, that we would
prefer that you should remain in your
present position during the present
crisis in the affairs of our country
Yours very respectfully,

A LIFE PRISONERS ROMANCE
Passes Out of Prison and Back Four
Different Times UEnoticed.

indianapolis, June 2.-Thomas Shep-
herd the noted convict from Sullivan,
who was last Tuesday released from
the Michigan City prison, finished a
twenty-year sentence, which had been
reduced from life sentence by Cover
nor Mathews, was the principal in an
escapade while confined in what was
formerly the Prison South of Jefferson
vile, Ind, that attracted widespread
attention.
| Shepherd was placed in the big lower
room overlooking the wagon gate to
throw the lever which opened and
closed the gate. Although constantly
attended by guard, he began fiirta-
ton with a woman living near the pris-
On, and soon letters were exchanged
Vat last he devised means by which lie
could visit the object of his affections
tOn account of the crowded condition
'of the cell houses Shepherd was al
, lowed to sleep in a little house just
inside of the walls near the gate. He
began securing material to make g
rope ladder, and when he had secured
a sufficient quantity made ladder and
kept it hidden in his shanty. Every
night he would go through the tower
fasten the rope to the wall and de
scend on the outside, visit his sweet
heart, return, climb to the top of the
wall, pull the rope after him, and theE
retire to his bed. This was repeated
for four consecutive nights, when the

THE LOST SPANISH LETTER.
Carranza Would Give Thousands o.
Dollars Rather Than Lose 1t.

New York June IA special to the
Herald from Montreal says:
Joseph Kellert, chief of the Metro
politan detective bureau, appeared be-
fore the police magistrate this morn
ing on charge of having stolen an
Scent postage stamp and an envelope
containing an important letter be-
longing to Lieutenant Carranza, late
of the Spanish embassy at Washing
ton. This much Carranza acknowl-
edged today; but beyond saying that
it was entirely a private letter, he de-
clined to speak further. Within the
hearing of several persons in court.
he stated, however. that he would
give $780, rather than lose the letter
and would forgive the theft, if it was
returned at once.

REDUCTION or IMPORTS.
a FALLING Off This Year of Foreign
Manufactured Articles.

Washington, June 2-(Special)-A de-
crease in the Importation of manufac-
lures into the United States is likely to
be one of the striking features of our for
eign commerce during the fiscal year
about to end. There has been. as already
shown in the reports Of the bureau OF
statistics. a very great increase in our
expectations, the manufacturing as well
as other industries having shared IN TINS
growth of our foreign commerce. IL now
appears that the years record OF tmpor-
tations OF manufactures will be quite
striking in the reduction which 1t Will
show.
That there has been a general reduction
In imports during the fiscal year Is indi-
Gated by the recent statement OF the bu-
reau of statistics which shows a falling
on of nearly $90, 0O0. 900 in the ten months
ending April 80. 1895 That the chief re-
duction, however, Is in manufactured ar
ticles, is indicated by some figures pre-
scented by the latest official reports OF the
British government showing the exports
from the. United Kingdom during Janu-
airy, February, March and April, 1893.
This official statement, while It does not
give the countries to which all exports
are made, does name the countries to
which the more important of the articles
exported are sent.
The total value of the exports to the
United States Of the manufactured ar
ticles so classified that the country OF
destination can be determined is shown
to have been, during the four months in
question, but little over half the value OF
the expectations of the same classes OF
articles to the United States during the
corresponding four months of last year
Taking all the exported articles of manu-
features whose destination is named. it Is
found that their value, during the four
months ending April 30. 1898, was but
SIS. 296, 597, against 81, 553 during the
CORRESPONDING months of the preceding
year The following are the manufac-
tured articles named by the report men,
toned above:
Export of Manufactured Articles From
the United Kingdom to the United
States During the Four Months Ending
April. 1897, and April, 1898, Respectively.

Ash Fork Society Event

A waltzing contest between two cou- ples Ut Ash Fork last Saturday morn- ing furnished amusement for some of the passengers on the east bound train during the few minutes stop for break fast. The contest began at a. m., and at 9 a. m. was still on. One of the "lady" dancers was of African descent and the other was Mexican senorita. The former seemed as fresh as daisy and good for several hours longer as did her partner, but the poor senorita was very weak, indeed, and her strong armed partner was growing that way himself from holding her up. There was $l50 up on the result of the contest, the winners to get the money. The ''ladies" were dressed decolete and the men were stripped to their gauge undershirts which were wet with per- spiration. Altogether it was hot contest, and the chances are that the colored lady and her partner came out winners.

JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE.
A Letter From Eugene Laird's
Nephew. Who Is With
Dewey.

Eugene Laird has an OWatOnna
paper containing a letter from his
nephew Frank Chadwick, of the U.
s. cruiser Raleigh, one OF Admiral
Dewcy's fleet that just won the
grrat victory at Manila. The letter
was written while the ship was ut
Hong Kong, on April S. a few days
before the fleet sailed for the Philip
pines. To show the idea OF one Of
the participants in the expected fight
we quote the following from the
letter:
"Since I wrote last, things have
taken on a lively sort Of look here.
OF course every thing is war. To-Day
the telegra ma indicate that the crisis
il on-and when the presidents
Cuban message ia given to-day
matters are very apt to fly high. So
far as we are concerned in the east,
cur fleet will have an easy thing OF
it. We now have five ships here-all
modern and with modern rapid fire
guns. The Baltimore will soon he
here. With her we have 1880 tons
displacement and the Spaniards at
Manila have 1850 tons-of which
5000 are of iron or steel. They have
one cruiser of steel-3, 2OO tons-22 guns
launched in 81. That ia the nearest
thing to danger that we have to con-
tend with. A number of their gun
boats are small and a jingle brOadside
would blow them out OF the water.
This morning there was confer
ence Of American captains present.
The plan OF action was decided on.
and arrangements perfected. Our
government yesterday cabled the
order to buy steamer OF $500
tons capacity to serve IA a trans
port. She now lies abeam of the

of her. The fleet paymaster bought

see we are already for the fun here.
What a pity it will be if the fun
doesn't cuine off after all. Long be-
fore this reaches you, you will
know just what has happened. Be
sure that II we do go down to Manila
the Spaniards will know that some
body called on them. Out here none
of US look at our part of the possible
war az even serious in general way
still it is liable to he 50 for certain
individuals. think all the fellows
are writing home Ut the prospects.
I don't think very much OF the
matter, but II I get knocked full OF
notes.-the other fellow will have
something to remember from the

her sides-I don't look for injury
