FROZEN EARS.
Jack Frost Nips Topeka People, and
Swollen Ears Result

The force in State Superintendent
Nelson's office suffered severely from
the cold Saturday night. Mr.. A " Lin
dell, bond clerk in the office, stepped out
of his house to get bucket of water
along in the evening, and although he
was out in the cold less than three
minutes, when he got in again he dis
covered that his ears had been frozen
stiff He made the discovery in time
to thaw them out before he went near
the fire.
Miss Luella Rudolph, superintendent
Nelson's stenographer, was not so fort
innate. She froze her ears severely and
did not find it out until they had thaw-
ed and began to become swollen
Dozens of people had their ears and
noses nipped more or less, but most OF
them were careful to thaw them out
with snow or cold water before the fire
got q chance at them.

caSioned by the defense swearing
Judge Wofford off the bench. when
Judge Dorsey w. Shackleford of Boom
vile was called in to preside at the
trial.
According to the confession of w. w.
Lowe, an ex-railroad man, he and five
others participated in the hold-up. and
those five others were Jesse James. An

one of the lawyers for James, Saturday.
IF the case is continued it will be at
the request of the state"
The indications are that the proSecu-
ton will be ready this time.
The real trial will probably not be-
gin before Monday, the goth. as the Sc

ARCHBOLD VERY ANGRY.
He Abused the Ohio Attorneys Flagg
Gave Him Hot Shots In

New YORK, March 20-At the Stand.
ard Oil hearing Saturday vice president
Archibald declared that the company
was carrying out the Ohio law and was
entirely disentangled from the trust.
At one point he turned to Attorney
Flagg and said:
You'd better be careful know you
l have something up my sleeve for
you" After little while Attorney
General MOnnett said:
~ object to the witness intimidating
the attorney" Mr.. Archibald laughed
"If there's anything up your slecv
we'd like to see it," Mr.. Monnett con.
tinued.
"Oh, you'll see it soon enough" said
Mr.. Archbold.
Asked if the statement that the stand.
ard had burned l6 cases of books was
true Mr.. Archbold branded it as false
and malicious.
Mr.. Flagg interpolated something and
Mr.. Archbold shouted: "You keep still
or I'll expose you right here"
"YOu expose" sneercd Mr.. Flagg.
"You can expose anything"
You low-lived-" began Mr.. Aroh-
bold.
"Can any one be low-hved?" asked
Mr.. Flagg, ''in comparison with a
Standard magnate? A decent man
would be ashamed to walk up the street
with you. You talk of me. You -,
you - -"
"You are a coward and a liar"
shouted Mr.. Archbold.
"You are liar" responded Mr..
Flagg promptly. "You are a coward
and all your millions can't help you. If
you can expose any one, do it now"
"You are a contemplate lar" re-
torted Mr.. Archbold.
"Some one blackmailing you, l sup
pose. You are always claiming that"
sneered Mr.. Flagg.
Later on Mr.. Archbold was asked re-
garding the burning of the books. He
manifested much impatience and reluct-
ance. Then a fresh storm broke out.
Mr.. Archbold began another TRADE
against Attorney General Monnett.
This man, ," he said, gives out false
and malicious statements to such papers
as will publish them. He got lot Of
fellows Of low station and semi.anarch-
lists to furnish the testimony he wanted"
"Those low fellows were your own
employes?" asked Mr.. Monnett.
Mr.. Archbold lodged the question.
II know one man was an anarchist"
said Mr.. Monnett.
"You know all about them," replied
Mr.. Archbold, 1T was you who hired
them"
That aroused the attorney general,
who had so far kept his temper well.
"Do you mean to say" he demanded,
"that l hired single man to give col
ored testimony"
Two or three times he repeated this
question, but Mr.. Archbold did not re-
ply.

JEKYL ISLAND, via Brunswick, Ga,

smiling complacency, the visit of the

There are those who believe that one OF
the important points to be decided al

or not Alger shall retire from the cabi.
net.
Arumor current here was to the effect
that the secretary S resignation had been
prepared, and that during the coming
week the president and his advisers
would determine whether or not it
should be accepted. Most of the discus
laion, however, centered upon the ap.
