SAD CASE OF INSANITY
Bright Intellect OF Rufus MOssman
Gives WAY to HaIlucinationa.

Commitment papers were received by
the sheriff last night for Rufus Mossman,
ordering him to be taken to the Ossa-
watomie asylum. Mossman was adjudged
insane few weeks ago, and was taken to
Browns private asylum to await trans
fer to one of the state institutions. lie
is a son Of Joseph Mossman, living east
of the city on Central avenue. The par
ticulars of young Mossman's insanity are
somewhat sad. He was a young man CT
bright intellect and splendid habits. a
few weeks ago while he was at work plow-
ing corn he suddenly dropped the lines
on the plow and hurried to the house,
leaving his team standing in the field. de
told his father that his friend. 10 whom
he is said to have been engaged, was dead
and he must hurry over 10 see her. His
manner was so wild and nervous that Nj.
Mcssnan was utterly. domfoundai, as lie
knew that the young lady had not been
i'll at ALL However, to satisfy tie y>ung
man team was hurriedly hitched I'D ard
they drove over 10 the friends home and
found her enjoying the usual health. Mr..
MosSman then suspicioned that something
was wrong with his sons mind and no
questioned him. The young man began to
nave other Authorizations of a similar ma
ture and seemed to be wholly unbalanced

the city all arrangements were made TO
extend to him the captains naval sa-
lutte" The management OF the Dold PACK
ing company, from the first rsmors OF
possible war with Spain have ever been
on the qui vive for any information
waIch would De or interest 10 the res deiti
of Wichita When war was declared by
official act OF congress the first announce
ment OF the fact was given forth TO Wich-
tia citizens by a terrific blast from the
heavy whistle at the bold plant Later,
when the troops from the several western
reserves were ordered to the assigned
camps and these trains entered Wichita.
the big Dold whistle again gave forth its
patriotic announcement and tribute TO
: the soldiers who were about to enter a
campaign the results Of which no one
could foretelL Again, when the battle OF
Manila on May 1st Of last year result
ed in the fame Of the prowess of our navy
this same whistle gave forth its blasts TO
thrill the populace with the reflection that
America was yet victorious. Again. at the
time Santiago enriched the nations his
tory with a new conquest this same wits
tie sullenly gave 1t out and all of Wichita
were made aware that the strain and the
suspense OF uncertainty were lifted and
that Spanish effrontery was silenced and
the pride of CASTLE and Arragon forever
levelled.
SO all along the several steps Of the con-
flict which resulted in the renowned
achievement of American arms have been
duly heralded forth to the community
from the mouth Of the Dold whistle.
Yesterday It was known that the after
noon train bearing Captain Coghlan would
arrive IN the city at the schedule time.
The train passed through the north side
district and by prearranged plans the chief
engineer at the Dold plant signaIled forth
those terrific blasts from the huge whistle
which in the heraldry OF the nations
navy system mean the senior captains
naval salute. When guns are fired there
is a system of signals, but whistles
blasts are repeated at sharp intervals,
and all this was carried out at the Dold
plant to the honor of Captain Coghlan.

JESTER IDENTIFIED
BROTHER OF VICTIM KNOWS
HIM,
was Turned Over 20 Missouri
Authorities Yesterday.

A special dispatch to the Eagle was re-
ceived yesterday from C. II. Quincy, who
accompanied J. w. Gates to Tecumseh,
| o. T., stating that the Identification Of
| Alexander Jester. the murderer Of Mr..
Gates brother, was complete and habeas
corpus proceedings were heard today and
the prisoner turned over to the Missouri
authorities. Sheriff Simmons has not yet
returned from Oklahoma, where he went
to assist Mr.. Gates in proving that Mrs.
Street. the sister Of Jester. had oommu-
nicated with him, informing the sheriff of
her brothers whereabouts and stating
that he was wanted for the murder Of
Gates in Missouri in 1871.
Jester owned and lived on a claim IN
this county near Valley Center when he
committed the crime and is remembered
by many OF the old settlers who lived in
this county in ISL.
John Demott, a we'll known citizen of
this city, had an adjoining claim to the
one taken up by Jester when he first came
here, located near a creek now known as
Jester creek, near Valley Center. Mr..
DemOtt tells a story OF an experience he
had with Jester, who attempted to jump
his claim at one time. He called a meet
ing of the old settlers. Jester and he each
selecting three men. The verdict rendered
was all six for Demott. Jester enter
tanned a bad feeling toward Demott after
that and invited Demott out one day to
go turkey hunting, but Demott sus-
piconed that Jester had an evil Object
in his mind and would not risk going
with him into the woods. The people Of
the community in which Jester lived had
a very bad impression Of the man and
watched him closely.

Just about two years ago the army engi-
Eeer officer in charge OF the public works
at Savannah was relieved from duty by an
other officer. Within very short time tho
relieving officer reported TO the chief of
engineers that no had discovered serious
discrepancies between the work and the
records and an Investigation was instituted
which resulted in the preparation of
charges against the former incumbent
alleging the misuse of the government

now the case has come TO pointed attention

The Aglinaldo Aid Society of Boston
prDposes a conference 10 be held at Chica-
go October L. for the purpose of develop
ing and crystalizing the opposition to the
Presidents policy" But what is the Presi-
dents Philippine policy? In the south,
men like MIR. Bailey Of Texas are COM
planning that the President has no policy
That IS the basis of their Impeachment OF
him. They assert that all of our difficult
ties have grown out of the Presidents fall
ure promptly to adopt and enter upon
definite policy respecting the Philippines
As they charge. he began by drifting. and
ne is still drifting.
Those who hold to this view specify by
saying that the Filpinos are as deserving
as the Cubans. and that had they received
the same assurance that the CubanS dld
about seIf-government there would have
been no revolt against the United States.
But who was to give to them such assur-
ance? The President had no right to do
81. He did not give, nor would have pre-
Srrncd TO give, to the Cubans the assur-
ance they received. That came from Con-
l-ress the only lawful source of such ex-
preston.
Is anything palmer than that had the
President attempted to trench upon the
power of Congress in this matter he would
have met with Il storm of protest from
these same men? Then We should have

Imperialism. \ thousand pertinent queS-

of the Philippines has at no time been i'll

1t is TO be assumed that the new owners
lines now united under one management
will spare no efforts to give those roads a
reliable service. AS was stated in The
Star yesterday. the service on some of the
lines. and especially those running into the
suburbs, is at present annoyingly uncer-
tain. Long delays occur, most frequently
at the hours OF the greatest use which
seriously impair the value of the roads to
behalf OF the operating company that there
many leaks in the current along the
country sections of some OF the lines, which
are now being reconstructed This ex-
fact that similar delays occur on one of
the sections of the syndicate's system
which represents the latest possibilities in
both underground and overhead construc-
ton. The fact seems to be that the load
on the central power plant is too heavy for
the facilities now provided to meet it,
and that there will be continuing delays
until more generating machinery is estab-
lished. The serviceabiiity of these lines is
measured by their certainty of operation.
Rapid transit is mockery when it is con-
tinually Interrupted. Passengers must be
guaranteed a fair degree of certainty of
continuous riding when they take places in
car. otherwise the prestige of the operat-
