Postmaster Arrested.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. deputy
United States Marshal Trigg arrived
here to night with Jasper Rogers,
postmaster at Ransom, Kan, whose
arrest was ordered by the United
States postal authorities on the
charge of embezzling $1,000 through
the manipulation of money orders.
The receipts of the office amount
to only 500 per year. Rogers keeps
general store, and is said to have
become involved to the extent of
$4,000, and paid numerous bills
with the money he received in the
money order department, instead of
turning it over to the postal authori-
ties.

WAR AND PENSIONS.

1t may we'll startle the advocates
of an imperialistic policy to learn
from the annual report of the pen
sion commission that there are now
on the pension list no less than
991, SIS names.
If nearly forty years after the be
ginning of the great war between the
states nearly 100000 men are
drawing annually over S140,O00,O00
from the treasury, what must be the
final burden to the American tax
payer If President McKinley's plan
of conquest is carried out to its log
ical conclusion?
Truly, imperialism is an expensive
proposition. Can the people look
with equanimity on a plan which
carries with it the possibilities of an
enormous increase of this burden of
taxation to meet the tremendous ex-
pense entailed by pensions?
From statistics furnished by the
pension bureau, it is learned that
since 1866, when the pension list
began to assume considerable pro-
portions, $2,37O,000,O00 have been
expended in paying pensions.
This is an amount not far from
equal to the expenditures of the
general government from it's organi-
cation down to 1860. The pension
outlay from 1866 almost equals the
highest notch that the public debt
attained after the close of the civil
war The debt reached it's maximum
Aug. 1, 1865, at S2,756,OOO,OO0.
The pension expenditures since
1866 have been S2,370,009,000. The
human mind is incapable of realizing
the magnitude of these money val
ues. The pension outlay was double
the gross earnings of all the $4,000
miles of railway in the United States
during the fiscal year 1898.
Truly in calculating the cost of
imperialism the minor expense of
the present is not the only item
worthy of consideration Chicago

PRESIDENT IS ARRESTED.


W. W. Chandler, Head of Baird College, in
Deep Trouble.
Clinton, Mo-, Sept president
W. W. Chandler of Baird College
was arrested to day on a warrant
sworn out by Prof. Louis Thielman,
member of the faculty, charging
him with obtaining $3.50 undertake.
pretenses.
School was to have opened Thurs
day, and many students were pres
emit, but Chandler failed to make his
financial obligations good and his
entire faculty left him. Prof. Baird
thsreupon announced there would
be no school
Thielman makes oath that Chan
dler claimed to have lease on Baird
college, when he had none in fact;
that Chandler had pretended to have
sole management and that the Baird
family had no interest therein,
whereas the Bairds were really con
nected with the management, and
that Chandler claimed to have $4,000
to use in opening school when he
had no money.
Thielman and other teachers had
advanced Chandler money on his
claims receiving notes and promises,
and they, as we'll as many local cred
itors, are very sore over the outcome.
Prof. Chandler came here from
Humansville, Mo, where he was
formerly superintendent of schools.

FIGHTING THE SUGAR TRUST.

New York Company Makes Further Re-
duction of 1-16 Cent Per Pound.
New York, Sept. THE New
York Sugar Refining Company, one
of the independent companies, to-
day made a further reduction of
one sixteenth OF a cent per pound in
the refined grades, the net price now
being 5.06c per pound. The selling
agents for several other indepen
dent refiners announced that they
would allow a similar reduction to
offset shortage charges and induce
iobbers to withdraw sugars on time
contracts.
It is understood that President
Lee, of the National Wholesale Gro
GERS Association, yesterday submit
ed his plan to the officials of the
American Sugar Refining Company
for the exclusive sale of trust"
sugar by the members of the associ
alton. No action was taken and it
is not likely that anything will be
accomplished until next week, when
the convention of the New York
State Wholesale Grocers' Associa-
ton will be held at Saratoga.

GIRL KILLED HER BOY FRIEND.
PIaYfulIy Snapped Pistol She Didn't
Know Was Loaded.

/ - 81 'ShS' SA'0 NsS'i !
Know Was Loaded.
Springfield, Mo. Sept 7.-Ros.
coe Morrissett and Minnie Loveland
were good friends, living on Swan
Greek, southeast OF Chadwick.
Young Morrissett and his brother
went to Sparta in wagon a few
days ago. The young men had a
pistol, which they fred now and
then on the road home. When they
reached the Loveland place Minnie
got into the wagon and went q
short distance with the boys. The
pistol was empty when she first saw
the weapon, and Roscoe Morrissett
snapped the revolver a time or two
to show the girl how it worked. As
the young woman started to get out
of the wagon she snatched Roscoe's
pipe from his hand. This led to a
scutf1e between the boy and the
girl. The pistol was lying on the
wagon seat. Minnie playfully pick
ed up the weapon and aimed the
pistol to snap it at Roscoe. To her
horror the pistol was fred, aud the
ball entered the mouth of the young
man. He jumped from the wagon,
covered with blood, ran a few steps
and fell dead. While Roscoe and
Minnie were in the scutfie, the
younger Morrissett had put three
cartridges in the pistol, and the &C
cident had occurred before he could
warn the girl

BRYAN WAS NOT
PAID A CENT.
Refused to Accept Anything
For His St. Marv Speech.

For His St. Mary Speech.
Topeka, Kan, Sept. 6.-The day
after William Jennings Bryan ad-
dressed the Woodmen's log rolling
at st. Marys story appeared in the
republican papers to the effect that
Mr. Bryan refused to accept the in
vitation to speak at St Marys until
he had received a draft for $50
In reality, AIR. Bryan's letter accept
ing the invitation reached ST. Marys
the same day the draft was sent.
Not only that, but when he arrived
in st. Marys he returned the draft
to James Graham, chairman of the
program committee, and the amount
has been prorated to those who fur
nished it. Mr. Bryan refused to
accept cent for his speech, and
even insisted upon paying his own
expenses.
Neither Mr.. Bryan nor his friends
care to go to the trouble to disprove
every idle fake that appears regard
ing him. In this case, however, the
falshood is wantonly vicious, and
the unanimity with which it ap
peared in half a dozen papers at
once show that it was inspired de
liberately. Since then every repub
lican organ in Kansas has used the
fake as a text in editorials, abusing
the democratic champion. In view
of the wide spread notoriety the st
Marys inven tien has gained. James
Graham, no was chairman of the
program committee at the st Marys
log rolling, comes toward with a
statement setting Colonel Bryan
right in the matter. Mr.. Graham
was the lieutenant colonel OF the
twenty second Kansas regiment in
the Spanish war and is a man of un-
questioned integrity.
BRYAN PAID HIS OWN EXPENSES.
"Mr. Bryan accepted our invita-
tion," said Colonel Graham before
he had received our draft for $3.50,
or before he knew that any amount
would be rendered him. When we
invited him nothing was said about
taking care of his expenses. It was
afterward suggested that since Mr..
Bryan does not ride on pass and
pays full railroad fare, we ought at
least to let him know he would be
nothing out of pocket. Accordingly
we wrote him a second letter inclos-
ing draft for $50. We explained
that the money was not intended as
payment for his speech, but to
cover his railroad and incidental ex-
penses to and from st Marys. The
same day that this letter was mailed
to Mr.. Bryan we received letter
from him telling us that he would
accept the invitation.
"When Mr.. Bryan arrived here
the first thing he did was to hand
me the draft for $50. He said it
was considerably in excess of his act
ual expenses, which were so small
he could amply afford to pay them
himself. That's the kind of man
w. j. Bryan is. make this state
ment because Mr.. Bryan is being
abused for something he never did.
1t is unreasonable to suppose that
any republican organ will be manly
enough to make this correction, but
it may through other sources reach
some of those who were prejudiced
by the fake"
