WITHA MATCH
MADAME DIAZ SET HERSELF ON
FIRE
JaIler DOdd Turned on the Hose and
She still Lives

Madame Diaz, who is In jail on the
charge Of stealing a bicycle from Cash
Henderson's store a few weeks ago,
attempted to burn herself up yesterday
morning, and would have succeeded had
not the pain of the bruins become so
great that she could not endure them.
Mrs. Diaz applied a match to her cloth
ng,after having had a terrible Siege OF
nervous suffering during which she was
attacked with commissions. At the time
she applied the match to her clothing,
however. she was in the best Of condi-
ton, DR.. Jordan having given her fresh
supply of morphine which she used In
large doses sufficient to quiet her nerves.
Tailor Dodd heard Mrs. Diaz' screeching
yells as her clothing began TO burn
about her flesh, and he hurried to see
what the trouble was. Surprising she
was having another CONFUSION, he did
not take his keys. When he saw smoke
issuing from her clothing he went back
after the keys of her cell, after which
he succeeded in extinguishing the fire
by turning on the hose. Madame Diaz
clothing was literally soaked with water.
and II was not necessary to use the
chemical engine.
This was considered a very narrow es-
cape for the madame. Had Mr.. Dodd
been a little longer getting to her she
would probably have burned to death.
His timely arrival and the prompt use of
the hose saved her from being very seri-
ously injured.
Madame Diaz seems to be in a very
bad plight. She is one OF the worst
morphine and opium fends that ever
struck Wichita and she Immediately has
the worst kind OF fits when the power OF
the drug dies out in her system. DR..
Jordan has to keep her well supplied
with narcotics. She will not be tried for
grand larceny before the September
term of court and the county will be at
considerable expense keeping her sup
piled with the drug. for she uses lot

VICIOUS DOG
BITES A LITTLE GIRL THREE
TINES
Mrs. Friteh Almost Grassy with Fear
OF HydrophObia.

The little 5-year-old daughter o. Mrs.
Fritch, TO7 North Market street, Was at
tackled by a vicious dog Sunday evening
and bitten three times. The dog first bit
the child on the cheek. then on the chin
and once on the hand. None OF the
wounds inflicted were very serious unless
blood poison sets In. The dog was not
hydrophobic. It was simply mean and
vicious. The child was playing on the
walk in front OF her home when the dog
came along and suddenly jumped at the
child without any apparent provocation.
After biting and swapping at her several
times 1t is said to have made a lunge at
the little girls throat and would have
torn her to pieces had not another larger
girl caught the dog around the body ana
pulled II away. The prints OF the dog s
teeth were left on the child's throat Mrs.
Fritch was almost crazed with fright
when she saw the accident, as she
thought the dog might be mad. She i'm
mediately took her daughter to DR.. Jor-
dams residence and had the wounds
dressed. Dr. Jordan told her there would
be no danger of hydrophobia setting in. as
the actions of the dog did not indicate
such a thing,

WANTS A SPOOK TRUST
Mrs. Lease Begins . New Work Ii
New York


New York.
Mrs. Mary e. Lease Is said by New
York paper to be no longer occupied in
studying the light that emanates from
a silver dollar. If report be true, she has
turned her eyes from earth to heaven
and is wholly engrossed by the light
which percolates from the other world.
Mary Ellen Is a recert convert to spir-
ituaIisn- Association with the silver dol
lar has, however, done its deadly work.
Mrs. Lease cannot in a moment shake
of her financial instincts. Hence. aban-
doning the country to its fate. she has
taken up the cause of the spiritualists
and is about to form spook trust.
Not only are the mediums and others
OF that ilk to be gathered into one
fold. but the spirits themselves are to
be syndicated; and all this in the cause
OF Truth and Dollar (silver or other).
Mary has made two discoveries. One
is that the value OF shades of departed
relatives has fallen below par. There
are still a favored few who can invite
their attendance at the regular rate of a
dollar a head, but others, finding bust
ness falling OF, will guarantee to pro-
Uniformity of prices must be established.
and a good round sum will sooner or
later drive the fakirs out of business,
Mary Ellen believes.
Her second discovery is that spooks
have a merry way Of fibbing. apparently
regardless whether they INDUCED in the
habit in this life. and Mrs. Lease is dis
tinctly opposed to any but the campaign
lie. Those mischleyous spirits that
through one medium make rash asser-
lions one day which they fatty contra
dict the next are TO be ruled out of
Mary Ellen's trust None but the good
old reliables will be on duty in the bor-
derIand when duly accredited experts
summon them for advice or ancient his
tory.
Associated with Mrs. Lease in this ef-
fort to put an abused cult upon a re-
spectacle and remunerative basis are
some of the foremost mediums and be-
levers in the movement The various
camp meetings this summer will be
used to swell the membership. and the
roundup at the national convention of
Spiritualists at Chicago on October 9 is
expected TO rebound to the credit Of
Mary Ellen and the glory of the faith.
Mrs Lease will make her maiden" ef-
fort on immaterial things at Lily Dale,
Ind Later she will speak at Onset Bay.
Mass, where the Spiritualists are now In
camp.

LAST OF TRIAEETS
Collected By Mr. Robt Jacks
From Indians
SOLDAT WORD YESTERDAY
Scalp Shirt Had 500 Locks of
Hair.
OLDAI. WORD YESTERDAY

Yesterday Mr.. Robert Jacks, proprietor
Of the Star Clothing Store. sold the last
Of his Indian relics, the last Of his rare
collection Of the trinkets Of trade and
queer paraphernalia Of the early Indian
Of the west. For Twenty or twenty-five
years ago Mr.. Jacks had a car load Of
these relics. He gathered them from
famous Indian chiefs and warriors who
came through this country. As the Indian
and his garment, his trinkets and trail
became more and more scarce, the col
lection was sold and the curious wealth
of savage life which Mr.. Jacks had
twenty years ago was completely gone
when Mr.. James Conner OF Colorado
Springs, bought the remainder yesterday.
Mr.. Conner was walking along by the
store, and seeing the scalp shirt. he
stepped to the door and said to Mr..
Jacks:
what do you want for those rellcs?"
Hundred dollars"
do 'em up."
And while Mr.. Jacks listed and wrapped
the curious Mr. Conner counted out the
bills to a hundred dollars. There was a
scalp shirt which Mr.. Jacks got from
an old Sioux chief and warrior who came
through Wichita twenty years ago. It
had 800 locks OF hair which the big Indian
said represented 900 dead enemies.
There was a bow and CULVER and ar
rows which Mr.. Jacks had purchased
from Chief Joseph Of the Nez Perces In
dams. In making this purchase Mr.. Jacks
said he bought the bow and one arrow
and then the culver and one arrow at
a time till the dead was completed. That's
the way the Indians trade. II they want
half a dozen articles. they buy one at
a time. get their change. and buy again.
In the list which Mr.. Jacks sold to Mr..
Conner yesterday, besides the articles
mentioned were saddle pockets, papoose
suit. leggings etc. making in all twenty
five pieceS,

The Minneapolis war and peace jubi-
lee was especially notable for the col
lection of relics of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, which were gathered prin-
cipally in Washington and Philadel-
phia.
/ Relics of the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's feet at Santiago comprised
the most interesting portion of the
collection, although Dewey's victory
and the achievements of Skaters
army preliminary to the surrender of
Santiago were represented. The flag
which Haunted from the masthead of
the famous battleship Oregon on it's
record-brcaking trip around the horn
and which went through smoke, shot
and shell in the naval battle at Santa
so, ard the Spanish ensign which was
lowered from the Cristobal Colon
when that vessel was surrendered to
Admiral Schley by Admiral Cervera
we're two interesting relics.
PERHAPS the most CHASTITY souvenir
of all was the skull of Spanish SOL
der bearing the mark of the machete,
with wk:cil he was Slain by one of Co
mez's Insurgents. Gomez himself was
represented by Cuban whisky flask,
upon which his autograph appears, to-
getheT with the cocoanut cup with
which he imbibed of the contents of
the bottle. Another memento of war
was a huge Spanish contact mine, re-
covered from the harbor of Guam
tanamo by the marines of Camp Nc
Gala.
A most interesting portion of the
collection was a conglomeration of
Spanish coins-gold and silver-found
melted together in the treasure chest
of the Almirante Oquendo after the
destruction of Cervera's fleet. In the
collection was also a Mauser rifle,
which was picked up on the deck of the
Maria Teresa by one of Simpsons Off
GERS.
Dewey's victory was represented by
an eight-inch shell from the admirals
flagship, the Olympia, which destroyed
the Spanish governors palace at Ca
vitc at the battle of Manila, together
with some small bullets from Spanish
ldPiu-HIc guns, Wncn Tell upon the
decks of Dewey's vessel during the
conflict of May 1. These were secured
from the national museum.
One relic, which illustrates more
fittlngly than any other the vagaries
OF the fortunes of war, was a sword
which hung at the side of the paymas-
ter of the Maine when that gallant
ship was sunk in the harbor of Havana.
1t was :ound on one of the vessels of
Cervera's fleet and recognized by Com
mandcr Wainwright, but how the
weapon, which was believed to be

iards, is mystery about which navy
officers profess to be in the dark.
