A Tall Man From Arkansas.
Carthage Press

| About the tAllcst man ever III Car
thage, outside of side show, struck
town this morning Pedestrians of
ordinary height strike that stranger
little above the waistband. He ev-
identity attracts the same attention
other PAGES as he does here and is
somewhat sensitive, as he could not
be induced to give his name. He is
built rather on the John ], Ingalls,
plan, except that the native of Ark
ansas is about a foot taller.
When asked his height he replied in
a joeular way, 5 feet 20 inches, but
as he can chin" Will Watson with
ease he must be considerably taller
than that.
The stranger went into the post
office and called at the general deliv-
cry window for his mail, and the
postal clerks declare that he was
forced to kneel down in order to
show his frontispiecc at the window.
He then went back to the stamp win
dow and instead OF using The regular
opening talked to Assistant Post
master Murphy over the top OF the
partition.
Some of the clerks say that Mr..
Murphy climbed up on chair and
handed the stamps over the top of
the partition, but Mr.. Murphy says
that the giant managed to reach
down far enough to get his hand
through the upper part of the Win
dow.
The strangers business was not
learned. 1t is thought by some that
he is here to contract with Prot. Stev-
ems to pick the apples on his Howell
county fruit farm. The stranger says
that he is only II years ofage. What
height he will reach when a man can
only be guessed at.
The tall man written up in yester-
days Press was a caller at this Office
this morning; of course he stopped
when he came through the door and
when he stretched up to his full height
his hat almost brushed the ceiling.
The editor looked up at him in awe
while he handed down the following
communication;

NEARING THE END.
,irs. Georges Case to Go to the Jury
Today.

Canton. Ohio. April 2s.-Probably the
most striking statement made by Mr.
Welty during the more than six hours that
he pleaded with the jury on behalf OF Mrs.
George was that they did not want mercy
from the jury If you find her guilty Of
murder in the first degree he said, "send
her to the electric chair. Do not recon-
mend her to the mercy OF the court to
be sent to the penitentiary for life without
hope OF pardon or release. We do rot ask
and we do not want mercy"
This statement he made in opening his
argument this morning. Yesterday his
pleading had all been along the line of
justification for whatever the accused nav
have done and was suggestive Of an i'm
piled admission Of guilt. But today he
entirely abandoned that line and devoted
himself TO a vigorous attack on the evil

CHARMED A CHILD FROM HOME.
Crime of Hungarian yiOIinist
With Many Wives.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 2s.-Having
twenty wives, but being in love with
Marketa Stroka, Adam Peschta charmed
the fourteen-year- maiden by Hunga-
rian fantasies he played upon his violin.
AS In the case of others whose hearts had
succumbed TO the music made by the wan
dering gypsy. the young girl fled with him.
The elopers were captured. however, and
Peschta today was sentenced to six years
in the Eastern penitentiary, and a fine of
500 was imposed.
Peschta came to Wilkesbarre about three
months ago. and at the house of Michael
Stroka and his wife met their pretty little
daughter. The musician was struck by the
child's beauty and asked her parents per-
mission to marry her. but they said Mar
keta must wait until she was older
The girl showed no particular preference
for Peschta until one evening when he
took his violin to the house. She then
seemed to be fascinated by the weird har-
monies which he drew from the instru-
ment. AS he played her eyes were fixed
intently on him. Soon after that she dis
appeared from the home. and her father
learned that she had met Peschta and gone
away with him.

traced Meanwhile Stroka learned that
the man had at least two wives-one in
Austria and another in New York. In Ha-
zleton the elopers were captured. When
Peschta was sent to Jail the girl threat
ened TO commit suicide. The spell of the
violin was upon her still.
Peschta pleaded guilty today and when
asked If he had wife smilingly answered
Yes, have twenty of them"
While the man was in court Marketa
watched him tenderly, and her eyes filled
with tears when he was led away. Even
his confession had not broken the spell of
his music.

KAUTz's ALLEGED LETTER.
Futile Attempts to Create sensn-

A letter purporting TO have been writ
ten by Rear Admiral Kautz from Apia.
Samoa, to Mrs. Charles NJ. Lindley. of Gin
cinnati, which was published in news
papers yesterday afternoon, is a subject OF
comment in Washington because of the
references in 1t to the German Consul at
Apia. On account of the Coghlan affair
the letter has attracted more attention
than 1t otherwise would have done. and
some attempt is being made to create
sensation out of these statements con-
tanned in it:
not King here, but Just plain ''boss of

he does not like me-in fact. / am not at all
popular here with the Germans. But l am all
right with the English, and hope TO pull through
with them.
Naval authorities who were seen last
night said that these expressions, If they
were used by Admiral Kautz, could not
form the basis for complaint by the Ger
man Government as they did not contain
an affront TO the German Consul. The ma
val official express doubt as to the authen-
ticity of the letter and maintain that even
il 1t is shown to be genuine it cannot be
made a matter of diplomatic notice with

The "Monon" Route Turned Over to
j. PierpOnt Morgan.
New York, April 26-The first positive
step in the formation of the Vanderbilt
consolidated system in the Middle West
was taken yesterday when the Chicago, In
dianapolis and Louisville Railway. known
as the "Monon' route, was turned over to
]. Pierpont Morgan. The price at which
the property changed hands is not definite
ly stated. but it is understood that about
$40, eco, 900 was involved in the deal.
The formal transfer occurred at a meet
ing OF the directors held yesterday. when
Gen. Samuel Thomas, who has long been
president of the road, rendered his resigna-
tion, which was accepted, and W. II. Nc
Doe was elected president in his place.
Others of the Thomas directors withdrew
from the board and the following were
elected in their places. all of whom repre-
sent the Morgan Vanderbilt interests: R.
NJ. Galloway. A. F. French, Charles II.
Coster, Temple Bowdoin. Richard Trimble,
and Anthony ]. Thomas.
The control OF the stock held by General
Thomas and some OF his associates who
pooled their interest for mutual protection
was taken over by Mr.. Morgan for q sin
gle payment OF cash which was made at
the meeting. A bill of sale was given by
General Thomas to Charles II. Coster. OF
the firm of j. p. Morgan e Co.. which bore
over 1000 revenue stamps of large denomi-
nations.
The Monon route win give the Big Four.
which is Vanderbilt line. Chicago line
and Chicago terminus close to that OF
Lake Shore. This connection is one which
the Vanderblts have long desired for the
Big -Four system. 1t will bring al the
Vanderbilt roads into close proximity to
one another in Chicago and enable further
economies for the benefit of all the lines
interested.
The Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton,
which is another middle Western road
very much desired by the vanderbilts, will
probably be taken over within the next
ten days. The plan OF the Vanderbilts is
very comprehensive one, providing for a
Northern and Southern system. The
Southern system will comprise the Chesa-
peake & Ohio. Big Four, Cincinnati, Ham
ilton G. Dayton and Chicago, Indianapolis
& Louisville. The, Northern system is al
ready complete, consisting OF the New
York Central. Lake Shore, Michigan Cen
tral and various branch and subsidiary

TANNER BURNED IN EFFIGY.
Students Angry because of His Veto
of an Appropriation.

Champaign. H.. April 26.-Gov. John R.
Tanner was burned in efIigy Monday night
by mob of students at the State universi-
ty. AS the rope which held the dummy
representation of the chief executive of the
State of Illinois parted and the stuffed fig
ure dropped from the limb of tree into
the fire beneath, the college yell was given
with a vim, the exuiting youths joining
hands and dancing about the smoking
ashes
This remarkable scene was the culmina-
tion of the feeling of general Indignation
at the governors action in reducing the
appropriation for the State University.
When the bill granting money for new
equipment reached Mr.. Tanner Saturday
last he cut off $4,000 approved by the leg
islature.
All the students felt that the money was
absolutely necessary, and since the State
lawmakers saw fit to pass the m zasure they
did not anticipate executive opposition.
