MORE TESTIMONY.
Lieutenant Whisner Says Metcalf
Was Not at Battle of
Guiguinto

Lieutenant J. R. Whisner of company
B, corroberates the statement of Lieut..
Hall concerning Col. AIetcalf's absence
from the battle of Guiguinto for which
he was brevetted.
THE battle of Guiguinto was one Of
the severest in the whole campaign"
Mr. Whisner says. I'VE lost p dead
and wounded in as many minutes. Not
withstanding the severity of the en-
gagement and the Importance of the
advantage gained, this battle never was
exploited half as much as a number of
smaller battles. The reason, 1 think,
is very apparent Lieutenant Colonel
Little was in command on the firing
line. and he had no press agent at his
elbow to write dispatches booming him.
Metcalf had been wounded during the
forenoon and the battle occurred late
in the afternoon. Gen. Funston has
never claimed that he was there. Met
calf's promotion. based on |gallantry
at the battle Of GuiguintO.' is taken as
a very good joke by all the soldiers"
Lieut.. WhiSner is in no sense a kick
er. He says Col. Metcalf is every inch
a soldier, and that there is no discount
ing the personal ValOr of Gen. Funston.
He does express the belief, however,
that Lieut.. Col. Ed Little is not only
the most popular man among the SOL
diers, but has been the most abused
man in the regiment.

TYPHOID IN SCHOOL.
Forty Students of Kentucky Univer
sity Sick With the Fever.

Lexington, Ky, Nov. 15.-Nearly 40
students of the Kentucky university
have typhoid fever and it has become
necessary for the faculty to take decid-
ed steps toward checking the disease.
The sick students have been sent to the
Good Samaritan hospital, but since
there is no more room at that institu-
ton it has become necessary to care
for them at their boarding houses.
Oscar Martin, aged "a, single, a Bible
student, died today and his remains
were sent to PlantersviIIe. Ala, in
charge of his parents. A week ago an
other Bible student, J. r. Ford of But
Ter No, died. The cause was at first
attributed to the water, but now mem
bers Of the faculty believe that it was
due to milk from cows fed on distillery
slOp.
President Cave says that the epidem-
ic has now been checked and that there
is no further cause for alarm and that
every one of the patients is now rapid
~ improving.
The dOrmitory building is quite old
and some believe that the fever germs
are in the walls of the building, al
though il is kept as clean and as we'll
preserved as it is possible to have it.
This is the hundredth session of this

Nobody was allowed to see him until

third person being connected with the
deed. He told his wife he wanted her
to come right up and see him and not
to write to him, and asks the question,
What does he think about it?" 1t is
to learn what this other person thinks
that he seems to want to see his wife.
Moore broke down and cried several
times during cross questioning and
seemed to be very deeply affected when
ever he spoke of his wife. He does not
seek to lay the crime on anyone.
He is in safe keeping and is in no
danger of a mob.

KANSAS APPLES KEEP.
A Note Placed in a Barrel Answered
After Two Years.

Secretary Coburn. who is always on
the lookout for anything that will ad-
vertise Kansas products, has run across
the following in the Merchants Journal:
Two years ago a young fellow who
was buying apples in eastern Kansas
and western Missouri wrote a note and
placed it in one of the barrels he was
packing for shipment After a while he
forgot all about the note until his rec
objection was revived by receiving a let

the barrel over two years ago The

had paid 80 cents a barrel. They had
been kept in cold storage for two years
and were all right when they were

made a truly pathetic scene. Kindly
people had willingly contributed to give
the children a proper burial, and lot
on the east side of the cemetery had
been purchased for their last resting
place.
A brother-in-law of Moore, Charlie
Franklin, says: Il heard him talk more
during the inquest yesterday than he
had ever before during the thirteen
years 1 have known him. He has been
an extremely quiet man. He seemed
most affectionate to his children, and
usually when he talked at all 1t was
regarding their future and his deter
mination to educate them. They were
bright and learned rapidly"
Under Sheriff Ed. Metz, who took
him to Mcpherson, says the man is to-
tally depraved, and has no more feeling
over the matter than if it had been rats
instead of his own children that he had
Metz asked Moore: What were you
doing this time last night?" and Moore
replied, Snoring, guess" You know
you were numbering your children,
Il didn't do that" said Moore, as if
imparting some confidential informa-
ton. Then how do you account for
the crushed skulls and cut throats?
Who do you think did that?' asked the
sheriff. Moore replied coldly, as though
ending the conversation: THE rafters
must have fallen on their heads" At
the Jail Moore ate very hearty supper,
calling for a second order.
Mrs. Moore, with rare fidelity, clings
to the BELIEF that her husband is inno-
cent of the crime charged against him.
At first she was almost induced to ac-
cept the overwhelming evidence. She
visited Moore at the Jail and since that
time refuses to listen to the charges
against him. No one was present while
the husband and wife eonversed- After
the visit Mrs. Moore was asked if she
believed Moore guilty. mol Nor' she
exclaimed. ''I will never believe that
he killed the children until he tells me
with his own lips. 1 don't believe they
were murdered. He couldn't have done
it. for he always loved them dearly"
When the mother speaks of the affair at
all she breaks into a fit of weeping,
and the other members of the Franklin
family, who are now thoroughly con-
vinced that Moore is guilty, only talk
of the affair when she is out Of the
room
The report circulated that Moore and
his family had been literally starving
was entirely a mistake. A few days ago
Moore purchased cook stove, paying
SO on it, and at the Jail last night he
took S16 from his pocket
