ing house, notified the police that Judge
Eeehman was dead at her house. She
stated that at about 4 o'clock Beekman
came to her house and asked for a.
room, and requested her to call him at
10 o'clock. AT the time stated she went
to call Reekman and found him dead.
Re1kman came here about ten years
ago from Lincoln, ILL.,, and is well known
IL Logan and TaseweH counties of that
state. He was a very prominent and
successful lawyer and had served one
term in the Kansas legislature.
Mr.. Beekman since 1895 has been one
of the conspicuous men in Kansas. He
came to the Republican legislature of
that year comparatively unknown out
side of his own county. Like Bryan at
Chicago his opportunity came in
speech. One day on the floor of the
house he made one of the most elo-
quent speeches ever heard there. 1t
was delivered in a good voice well mod
ulated; was clear cut and at once at
traCted the attention of the state. From
that day until the close of the session
he grew in strength and became one Of
the leaders of the house. He was
generous man and was devoted to his
friends. If there is a man in Kansas
who can say that Beekman, during the
few years Of his political activity did
not tote fair on all propositions, he
has not yet made this fact known to
the public.
Mr.. Beekman was talked of for con-
greSs in the Third district but was pre-
vented from entering the race, by his
sOlicitouS friends, who realized that he
was walking in a pathway which would
lead to ruin. He was once a minister
of the gospel in the Christian church.
He came to Kansas after the liquor
habit had gained a hold on him, re-
formed and built up a successful law
practice. He took to drink again and
only a few years ago took the Kelley
cure. Things went all well for a time
but he has since diVerged from the
straight and narrow path. Frequent
and protracted debauches in Topeka
and Kansas City, were followed by
similar experiences at his home in Ar
kansas City. Only recently he engaged
in a street fight and was arrested and
fined in police court. He was physi-
cal and mental wreck from the one
cause-liquor. His natural ability was
destroyed and death found him in a
place he would a few years ago have
Scorned.
There are few places of prominence
Beekman for public addresses. He was
an old soldier and his patriotic speeches
were stirring in the extreme. He at
times, in his speeches. approached bril-
iancy, and was good for a first-class
talk at any time. He spoke extern
poraneCusly, largely, which is in itself
an indication of his power.
Mr. Beekman was a good friend to
his friends and despite his weakness
died serene in the confidence and
good will of thousands of people.

Politicians are discussing the shabby
treatment which they claim Harry Ian
dis has been giving J. B. Tomlinson,
who was appointed to succeed Lands
a warden of the penitentiary. Ordinar-
lily the politicians have had a pleasant
word for Lands but they are changing
their positions
The change is based on the following
story: Tomlinson recently visited the
penitentiary and was sitting in the office
of the institution talking business to T.
c. Ballinger and John Gilmore, MEM
bers of the board of directors. Warden
Landis entered the room and informed
Ballinger and Gilmore that supper was
ready for them. Mr.. Tomlinson was
ignored completely. The new warden
was afterwards told by the chaplain
under Warden Lands that the warden
had said he wanted Tomlinson to stay
away from the penitentiary until it was
time for him to take charge. Yet, Mr..
Tomlinson then sent Warden Lands
word that if he found it inconvenient
to move at once he could occupy the
house for the warden for time at least
as Mr.. TOmlinson did not expect to
move his family to the prison at this
time.
The attitude of Lands toward Tom
linson is creating much talk among the
politicians who insist that they have
never before believed Lands would be
guilty of anything small. Tomlinson
has been staying at a hotel in Leaven-
worth pending the transfer of the prison
to him which takes place Saturday

Etoppage of operations A number of
manufacturers have already stated
their intention to sign the scale, and
the workers believe that before mid
night others who have not made any
declaration will accept the terms and
renew relations with the organization.
From the attitude taken by some of
the manufacturers it is sure that some
OF the mills will not work after today
with their present employees. At some

Secretary John Williams of the Anal

MIR. COLE FIRM.
Auditor Will Not Issue Vouchers to
Pay For Asylum Site.

The Parsons people have been thrown
into another spasm by the announce
ment by Grant Hornaday, president of
the state board of charities that
the board will take no action concern
ing the asylum until the attorney gen.
eral renders an opinion upon the legal
complications which have arisen.
Mr.. Hornaday said: mo action will
be taken by the board, although the
matter by the law is left in our hands,
Un>~1 we have some reasonable authority
for so doing. The law seems not to be
plain and the members of the board do
not care to assume the responsibility
for the errors of the legislature, neither
do we care to take chances on expend-
ing money without authority OF law
One of the Parsons papers are Shrek
ing about the "idiocy of the report that
the law does not authorize the auditor
to issue warrants to buy the land
For the information of that paper 1t
is only necessary to say that a reading
of the law will convince the most skep-
teal person that there is no authority
conferred upon the auditor in this mat
ter. The method of eXpendin- the
money for the buildings is outlined but
not a single word of authority is con-
ferred upon any person to eXpend the
money for the land.
The state auditor has examined the
law himself and says: Il will not is
sue vouchers for the payment of the
purchase price of the land. The law
does not authorize me to do So"

radically during the past few years. In
the shallow mining then in vogue
steam followed the more primitive
methods. But little capital was re-
quired to operate. Now capital has
stepped in. The windlass and horse
holster have given away to concentra-
tive plants with capacity to crush and
clean 100 tons or more of mineral each
day.
Deeper mining is now being done,
many mines being operated at a depth
of from 100 to $50 feet. This plan has
been developing larger bodies of min
eral than were ever before found
For many years the products of these
mines have been marketed at a price
concerning which the producers had
nothing to say. Realizing that there
was in this injustice because the
spelter or finished product of the ore
was constantly changing, the Missouri
and Kansas Zinc Producers association
was formed for the purpose of procur-
ing for their ore price based upon the
market price of spelter. BY this means
the producers hope to make their busi-
ness more PROSPEROUS

denying reports that Filipino prisoners
were shot by order of American officers.
This was in response to a ca bic inquiry
sent by H. H. Kohlsaat, as follows:

Minneapolis Kansas, writes home:
Company 1 had four prisoners and did
not know what to do with them. They
asked Captain Bishop what to do. He

of Brenner's untrue. Brenuer's charge
was promptly investigated by the mill
tary authorities here.
No facts were aScertained to support
the charge at the time of first inquiry
but the investigation has been renewed
and is being prosecuted vigorously and
extensively. This investigation has not
yet been completed.
"Brenners' charge has some SEM
bIance of truth for the reason that it Is
