Topeka, Aug. 15-Little Annie Diggs has some more trouble on her hands. This time 1t Is not with the pop legis- lature for failing to carry out the pledges of the Abilene platform, nor with Governor Leedy for maintaining boodiers on his metropolitan police boards, but with the decorator who is completing the interior of the state house dome.
 Annie was making tour of the state house today seeing what she could be- hold. She climbed to the fourth floor and took a peep at the decorations through the network of scaffolding. when To and behold! She spied a pie ture that looked like Mrs. Lease. She took a ladder and climbed another flight, where she could get a closer view. The closer she approached the more the picture represented Mrs. Lease. That was not all; the painter had run out of paint and had not put |any clothes on the "uncrowned queen. 2
 Mrs. Diggs became furious. She re- membered the tilt she had with Mrs Lease, in which the lie was passed and la hair pulling seance was averted only by the intervention of friends. She could not contain herself She went down the ladder four rounds at time and slid down the banisters, so anxious was she to get at that decorator quick ly.
 She met him on the first floor Look here, Mr. Fidelli, I won't stand that outrage" she blurted out
 "Now, what's the matter, Mrs. Diggs?" asked the decorator.
 You know very well. What did you paint Mary Ellen Leases picture up there in the dome for?"
 TT didn't paint it there," he said. You did, too, and, not only that iyou ought to be ashamed of yourself. '
 My dear woman, that is a picture ot an ancient Grec1an woman!"
 'Now, MT. Fidelli, it is true that ii | is a picture of an ancient woman, a 'has-been,' an artist in the line of pre- varicators. but it is not a Grecian wo- man. It is Mary Ellen Lease. That's all there is to it. It's an outrage! Ar outrage! The dome should not be SC decorated" D The artist protested that it was moi Mrs. Lease.

An Unsuccessful Attempt to Escape
 From Prescott.

Prescott, Ariz., Aug. 15.-George Hoffman, in jail here charged with burglary, made a bold dasE for lib- erty last night. He wes in custody |of deputy sheriff when he started to run at full speed. He ran through a saloon into an alley, where he suc- ceeded in hiding in an old building, but was discovered several hours later.
 A few months ago he escaped from an officer at Los Angeles by throwing cayenne pepper in his face. When arrested at Congress on recent charge he made his escape from the arrcsting officer, Deputy Sheriff Bosha, and several days elapsed be- fore he was retaken. He was re- captured at Phoenix and brought here heavily ironed.

picture on the wall, fairly hissed: There she Is; just like you have painted her up in the dome, only you have put few more curls in her bangs and brought down her lips to normal eize and left her undressed."
 The two then went up to the dome and the decorator admitted that they did look alike, but he declared he had never seen Mrs. Lease nor her picture until it was pointed out to him today.
 Its mighty strange; aye, more, it's an outrage" declared the little labrar- ian as her eyes snapped and she grit ted her teeth. "What do you propose to do about it?"
 Nothing" replied the decorator.
 Well, you will I will lay my griev- ance before the executive council and get them to order you to change the features of that painting so it won't look like Mrs. Lease, and paint some clothes on her, too"
 "If the executive council orders me to change that picture it will pay the additional expense" said MT. Fide1li
 Expense, expense" shouted Mrs Diggs. Why, I will tell the council to keep the amount out of my owr salary rather than have the picture o1 that woman in the dome of this state house. It must be changed.
 Fedelli told her to present the mat. ter to the council and if it ordered tn. extra work done, and would pay for t he would gladly make the change Mrs Diggs said she would. She rounded ur all the members of the council who were in the state house this afternoon and they promised her to consider the matter at the next meeting.
