WHICH is CORRECT?
Minnie Fitzgerald Says Mike TObin
Enticed Her From Home and
Then Says He Didn't,

Minnie Fitzgerald. a 19-year-old girl who
claimed to have been enticed from her
home in Moulton. Ia. by a man named
Mike TobiE, went 10 Chief Hayes Tuesday
and related u story of cruel treatment.
She said she came to Kansas City with
Tobin and lived with. him as his wife in
a boarding house in Tullis court. at Eighth
and Jefferson streets. Last Sunday night
he disappeared and when he did not re-
turn Tuesday she went to the police and
wanted him located.
una officer Greenman took charge of
the case and located Tobia at Higginsville,
where he had gone to secure employment.
1t transpired later that Tobin had not
deserted the girl and had informed her
where TO meet him as soon as he secured
employment. The constable at Higgins
Vile wired Colonel Greenman yesterday
that the couple were there and asked
whether they We're wanted. About the
same time two kilograms were received
from the Fitzgerald woman. begging the
INA officer TO prevent the arrest of
Tobin. One of the messages states that
she had not told the truth about her re-
lations with him. Colonel Greenman would
then have nothing more to do with the
case. Tobin was formerly engaged in the
livery business at Moulton. near where the
Fitzgerald girls parents live.

Two Valuable omciaIs.

The election of B. l.. Winchell 10 the Of
flee of vice president of the reorganized
Union Pacific. Denver & Gulf. now known
as the Colorado & Southern. is received by
his friends in Kansas City with a great
deal of pleasure. Mr.. Winchell was con,
nected with the Kansas City. Fort scott
& Memphis for a number Of years as chief
clerk and later assistant general passenger
agent. He left Kansas City to accept the
general passenger agency of the Union Pa
cific, Denver & Gulf, and six months ago
was made general passenger agent of the
Frisco. which position he leaves to become
vice president of the Colorado line. Mr..
Winchelrs career has been meteoric, but
his ability has doubtless much TO do with
his advancement. Fred Wild, Jr., will be
the general freight agent of the line. a posi-
ton he has held with credit TO himself and
the road for some Nears.

THAT $500 PIPE STORY.
Local Sporting Fraternity muse by
the "Sure Thing" Rae
ing story,


The local sporting fraternity is having a
laugh over the story circulated yesterday
afternoon to the effect that the stock yards
contingent was mulcted of $500 by the
local poolrooms on a false tip sent from
New Orleans. 1t was evidently told to a
novice for a joke. as anyone who knows
anything about horses races would see the
RIGHTEOUSNESS of the story on the first tell
ing.
II one will stop to figure it out. the anus
ing side of 1t will be quite apparent. In
the first place the local poolrooms would
not accept that much money on any race.
as II would not be a good betting PROPOSE
ton. and on the race in which Ivy Bloom
participated the bookies Were "cinched."
as the talent played the favorite to a
standstill.
1t Is to be presumed, if the story were
true. that the stock yards contingent got
in with the first bunch. and placed all
their money on Ivy Bloom. at 10 to /. But
suppose they only placed sl.W at 40 to /.
another $1,000 at IL to ! and the remaining
$500 at 8 to /. The bookies would stand to
lose $4,000. and there is not that much
money in the bunch.
Again, if it had been a put up job. the
bookies would not ave lowered the odds
but would have let them remain at 40 to
l aud taken everything in sight. The fact
is that SIS was placed at 40 to /, and a few
struggling bets at lesser odds.

George Washington, colored, rushed into

for the use of a Pacific cable, from
some point in the u. S. to China and

Philippines.
Mr.. A II. Noyes, a we'll known
Minneapolis lawyer, wagered a case of
champagne against a case of beer that
the Democrats will not nominate
Bryan next year. The wager was
taken by Representative Jones, of
Washington, but when Mr.. Noyes Of
tered to make the same wager that
President Mckinley would be reuomi-
mated and reelected, Mr.. Jones de-
clined.
When President Mckinley, in his
Boston speech, p%unctured the imper-
~ialistic balloon which the Democrats
in Congress have been trying SO hard
to get sufficiently inflated to take it
off the ground, he also punctured the
hopes of numerous Democrats, who,
having nothing else in sight to make
an issue out of, had been hoping that
the straw man of imperialism they
have been trying to set up under that
balloon. might be used. Needless to
add that the Presidents remarks
pleased the Republicans in Congress,
because they were in accord with
nearly all their speeches. There are
no advocates of imperialism in this
country, nor is there likely to be,
simply because there is no room fol
such under our form of government.
