KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
Whisky Was His Undoine

]. V. Beekman, politician and lawyer,
died at Arkansas City under circum-
stances which indicated suicide. At
1920 o'clock at night a woman giving
her name as May Miller told the police
that Judge Beekman was dead at her
house. The police found the body in
the woman's room. 1t was shown at
the coroner's inquest that May Mil
Ter had gone to a drug store and
bought some cocaine while Bee1man
was in the house. A powder contain
ing morphine was found in the clothes
of the dead man. Beekman came to
Kansas from Lincoln, H., ten years
ago. His besetting sin was whisky, and
it pursued him all through life. Origin
ally a lawyer of fine promise and attain
ments, he abandoned that profession
and fed to the pulpit in the hope of over
coming his sin. But still it pursued
him, until finally he was expelled from
the ministry and to retrieve his fallen
fortunes he came to Kansas, settling
in the practice of law in Chautauqua
county. He served one term in the
legislature. He moved to Arkansas
City four years ago and at the last city
election was chosen city attorney.

Topeka at War on the Joints.

On accoust of the strong pressure
brought to bear by the State Temper
ance union and the threat of Attorney
General GODDARD to GUST them from Office
the police authorities at Topeka certi-
fed up to the county attorney a long
list of witnesses in liquor cases tried
in the police court. County Attorney
Jetmore at once issued subpenaes for
the whole batch for the purpose of Sc
curing information on which to base
complaints. Several witnesses appeared
at the inquisition and each refused
to testify. The supreme court has held
that a witness cannot be compelled to
testify at an inquisition of that char
acter. After their refusal to testify,
there was nothing left for the county
attorney to do and he let them GO.
These witnesses can be forced to testify
at regular trial and the temperance
people will insist on the sheriff secur-
ing information and arresting the
jOintiStS.

To Bring Them from Frisco.

A movement has been started in Kan
sas City, Kan, to have the people of the
state raise money to bring the mem bers
of the Twentieth Kansas regiment
from San Francisco in special trains
free to the soldiers, thus enabling
them to save the travel pay allowed
them by the United States government.
Sidney II. Whisner, secretary of the
Kansas City committee has formulated
the plan and it has been approved by
Kansas City, Kan, people. 1t gives every
city in the state a share in the honor
of honoring the brave boys of the
Twentieth Kansas. He has taken a
list of all the cities of the state of 900
or more population and apportioned to
them an amount proportiOnate to their
relative population. Thus almost every
city and town will be called upon for
share.

CUBANS MAKE
DESPERATE THREATS
Will Burn the Islands or
Have independence.

NEW YORK, June 9.-In private
letter received from distinguished
Cuban, now resident of the United
States, is most sensational statement
about the plans of the irreconcilable
Cuban leaders. The writer is conser-
vative and is in a position to know
what is going on at present in Cuba.
The information is as follows: "The
latest story fromCuba, which 1 have
every reason to believe, having been
told me by prominent Cuban whose
intimacy with the leaders in Havana
lends authority to the statement, is
that the former revolutionary element
has decided to make a virtue of nee
essity and gracefully, to outward ap-
pearances, accept American inter-
ventiop.
"At the end of two years, however,
If Cuban independence is not acknow-
lodged and the government transfer
red to the Cubans, the torch is to be
applied from one end of the island to
the other, by which means all foreign
Investments will be destroyed. When
it is considered that the wealth OF
Cuba is dependent on agricultural
developments, chiefly cane and tobacco
and that a firebrand maliciously ap-
piled in dry cane field would cause
the destruction of thousands of dollars
of value in single night, the enormity
of the plot becomes apparent"

CURE FOR APPENDICITIS.

without Instruments

New York Physician Relieves Patient
Without Instruments.
DR.. George Helmer, a New York
doctor, has just cured patient of ap.
pendicitis in eight minutes without
the use of a kniie, ice packs or poultices.
He applied one hand to point mid.
way between the top of the right leg
and point above the stomach, then
bent up the right leg of the patient at
the knee joint, and gave the leg a
slight twist, by means of a quick
motion, repeated two or three times,
and the operation was over. This
forced out of the appendix the clog
ging particles that occupied it. Just
back of the appendix is the largest
muscle in the human body, known as
the psoas magnus. Tt is attached to
the femur or big bone of the leg, and
is the muscle by which one can re-
volve the leg as on pivot at the heel.
1t is this muscle which is made to do
the trick of emptying the appendix.
Using the fingers of one hand to hold
the walls OF the abdomen IN place. aud
to prevent rupture of delicate internal
structures, with the other hand a
spasomodic contraction of the psoas
magnus is brought about, which snaps
it against the appendix and forces out
of that organ whatever foreign SUBJ
stances it may contain.

writing, but signed the payee's name
"Per E." and the forgery of o. A.
Bowen's name was almost perfect, so
much so that it was hardly possible to
detect it.
1t is within few days of one year
since the forgeries were made public
and Evans proclaimed furg;tive from
justice. The forgeries began in
September, 1895. and no estimate can
be made as to how long they were
continued. 1t was not believed that
anyone was in collusion with Evans,
except possibly in disposing of the
warrants, and as the amounts, num-
bers, ETC., were identical, probably no
two could have been sold in the same
city without serious risk of detection.
The places these forged warrants were
sold were Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-The SEN

"The trust mania has reached The
brewers, and it is said, on the best
authority, that a scheme is on foot to
form trust with 81 900, 600, 900 capital

country. 1t is said that the scheme
received impetus at the national con
vention of brewers at Detroit, when
plans were discussed secretly"
Albert Lieber, manager of the brew
cry syndicate of this city, which in
cludes the three largest breweries
here, confirmed the story of the for
nation of giant brewery trust. Mr..

the same is true of other slater. The
principal factor in the big scheme is
Seymour Scott, a wealthy broker of
New York city. who has been working
on ii for some time. The scheme is a
stupendous one, and it will require at
least three years to perfect it. The

powering, and there were many pros
trations of American soldiers from
that cause.

A GREWSoME FIND.
Body of Woman Discovered Floating
In the River at Sprague

Body of Woman Discovered Floating
In the River at sprague.
Last Sunday the body of a woman
was found floating in the river near
Sprague, Wash. The body had no
clothing on except stockings and shoes,
and bore marks of violence that indi.
Gated a murder had been committed.
From appearances it had been in the
water for some time, though it was
to Sprague, where it was properly
cared for and buried temporarily and
notice was sent to the Portland Ore
gOnian, with request that efforts be
made to secure Identification.
1t was the body of a woman about "a
or 26 years of age, five feet four inches
in height, dark complexion and short
hair. On one finger was small gold
ring with blue opal set.
Whom the body is is a mystery,
though it is probably that of fallen
woman who committed suicide by
jumping into the Columbia at Grand
Forks, B. c., some three weeks ago,
and whose body was never recovered.
AS there has been no account of a
murder being committed at any point
on the river recently, the marks OF
violence are probably the result of the
body being dashed upon the rocks
while floating down the river.

SARDIS, Miss, June 12.-Simon
Brooks, (colored) has been lynched by
mob of negroes near here. The
crime thus avenged was most atrocious.

The mob, which was con- posed entirely
of negroes, did it's work quickly. The
white people knew nothing of tne af-

founded the Congregational church in

this country for aid in his religious
and educational work in Cuba. DR..
de Barritt spoke today about present
conditions in Cuba and the possibility
of an outbreak against the Americans.
"If this occurs" he said, sit will be
the fault of the Americans. The
Cubans are peaceful people, but they
are also proud and sensitive, and many
things have been done recently to an
ger them. The Cu5ans feel that they
are being treated very much as though
they had been conquered by us. AT
any rate, the Washington authorities
should do away with the present mill.
tary government. 1t is worse than
Unnecessary; it is doing an immense
deal of harm. A great many of the
American officers do not like Cubans
and don't scruple to let this be known.
How can you expect the Cubans to like
them? General Brooke and General
Lee are liked and trusted. but their
influence for good is nullifed by the
attitude of other officers.
"The payment of the Cuban troops
and requiring them to lay down their
arms was a mistake. The disarmine
was a great humiliation to the men
and the first thing good many o.
them did with the S75 each was to buy
new guns and machetes. There is a:
vet no distinct idea in the minds o
the majority of people as 60 what they
really want. whether annexation Of
independence. But they obtain theil
ideas of the United States governmen
from the American officers and tnes'
ideas are not favorable"
