STANDS BY CLAWsoN.
People of Arkansas City Try to Sc
cure Pardon From Presi-
dent McKinlev

Wichita, May CDR. J. w. CIawson,
who was arrested at Arkansas City
Wednesday by Deputy United States
Marshal Trigg. had a preliminary hear
ing before Federal Commissioner BeaIl
here today. Clawson admitted that his
real name was George B. Howard, that
he was sent to the Illinois penitentiary
at Chester in 1890 for defrauding pris-
oners at Mound City, Ill, that he was re-
moved to the federal asylum at Wash
ington and escaped, coming to Arkan-
sas City in 1892.
Judge J. V. Beekman, of Arkansas
City, has been employed by the people
of Arkansas City to visit President
Mckinley and ask for Clawson's par
don. ClawsOn had built up an extern
sive business at Arkansas City and
stands so high there that two of the
banks have agreed to furnish 81 ,OOO or
more, if necessary, to make an effort
to secure his release.

GAUNT GRAY WOLVES
Or They May Be Just Common
Coyotes.

In the vault in the county clerks office
today are six little dead animals. Their
death may cost Shawnee county $50,
services of a naturalist are wanted to
decide.
The men who are responsible for the
death of the little animals claim that
they are cubs of gray timber wolves.
Others say they are only common coy
ote cubs. The county officers are doubt
full about their identity, so the cubs are
being held for inspection.
The coyotes, or wolves, whichever
they may be, were killed yesterday by
David McBee and James Sumey, in Mis-
sion township, west of Topeka These
men say that they went out to get a
load of fodder and their dogs started
up an old wolf They followed her and
discovered her den in the side of a bank.
into the den and got out the six cubs,
killed them and brought them to To-
peka to get the bounty allowed on them
by law. The bounty for gray wolves
SIS a scalp, while for coyotes it is only
81 a scalp.
Deputy County Clerk Swayze was
suspicious about their being gray
on them as such until it is proven that
they are gray wolves. Everybody who
came into the office this morning was
asked to pass an opinion on them. Some
said they were wolves and some said
coyotes, but the majority said they
didn't know. B. B. Smythe, who gen.
orally knows a good deal about such
things, was sent for, but he, too re-
fused to pass an opinion as an expert.
Meanwhile the two farmers have gone
to catch the old wolf, whose testimony
will be considered conclusive.

STATE FUNDS LOW.
Warrants Will Soon Have to Be
Stamped ssN0t Paid For
Want of Funds"

Within few days warrants present
ed at the office of the state treasurer
for payment will be stamped mot paid
for want of funds The money at the
disposal of Treasurer Grimes with
which to pay the state expenses is rap
idly giving out, and the stamp will have
to be resorted to. There will be no
warrants paid after the last of this
month until the last half. year taxes
commence to come in in July. War
rants will also have to be stamped mot
paid for want of funds during the lat
ter part of the year In discussing the
matter today Treasurer Grimes said
I'VE will be stamping warrants Not
paid for want of funds the last of this
time, but yet it is to be regretted that
it has to be done at all. The fault lies
with the Populist legislature of two
years ago. That body was anxious to
make a showing in economy, and failed
to make sufficient appropriations to
cover the expenses of the state for the
two years ending this coming July. 1
am not contending now that those ex-
penses were unusual, but knowing, as
the Populist legislature did. what the
approximate expenses would be, they
failed to make sufficient levy and ap-
prOpriatiOns to meet them.

CIVIL SERVICE GROWTH.

The fifteenth annual report of the ma
tional civil service commission is out
1t shows clearly what progress has
been made in introducing the civil ser
vice system in every branch of the civil
government. 1t has progressed steadily
against all forms of opposition.
The report shows that during the last
year there has been a larger number
of appointments through examinations
than ever before during a similar per-
iod. In all 45.712 persons were exam
ined and of these so. 500 passed. De-
partmental appointments under educa-
tiona1 examination numbered ?. 100, and
under registration examination 2,336.
The following offices hitherto regard
ed as legitimate spoils for the polite
fans were filled under the civil service
rules: Custom houses 2O2. postof1ces
PISS, internal revenue offices 229, and
government printing offices 225.
The commission calls attention to the
fact that the aggregate annual salaries
in the executive branch of the public
service amount to more than 500, 600
civil service rules there is a saving of
at least 10 per cent, or $1O.000O0O an
nually.
The commission earnestly recon-
mends that the census bureau be
brought under the civil service rules.
The commission earnestly recon-
mends that whatever colonial offices
the country establishes be filled by men
who have passed a most rigorous and
exhaustive examination.

TREAT FOR MUSICIANS.
Final Concert of Z. M. c. Course a
Great Success.

An audience that left but few vacant
seats in the Grand Opera House heard
the Bruno Steindel Concert company in
this city Friday night. The concert
formed the last number of the course
arranged by the Ladies' Music club of
this city, and it proved to be most
enjoyable All of the numbers on the
programme were received with enthu-
siastic applause, and the artists were
compelled to respond repeatedly
Preceding the concert, Mr.. Dustan
Collins, who has the tour of the COM
pany in charge, announced that because
of serious illness MI. Edmund Shuecker,
the noted harpist, was forced to give up
the tour He said that Mr.. Shuecker
had been steadily growing worse since
first taken i'll, and that his present con-
dition was such as to give but little
hope that he would ever again appear
on the concert stage He further an
nounced that his place was being filed
by Miss Helena Stone of Chicago.
Probably no ViOlincelliSt in America

SO many complimentary notices as Mr..
Bruno Steindel, the head of the COM
pany. Last night he failed to draw his
bow across the strings of his favorite
instrument without demonstrating that
he deserved them all. His playing was
particularly satisfying. 1t was enjoyed
not only by those in the audience of
educated musical taste, but as well by
those who might have difficulty in de-
scribing what pleases them in music.
encoreS after each number on the pro-
gramme.
The disappointment occasioned by
the absence of Mr.. Shuecker was atoned
for to a considerable extent by Miss
Helena Stone, the young lady harpist
of Chicago. In her first number she
showed a delightful style in execution,
and was recalled. Her second number
was a dual arrangement in opposite
veins, and was admirably rendered.
Mrs. Minnie Fish Griffin, the soprano
of the company, has a voice that proved
thoroughly pleasing in concert work
She contributed generously to the en-
joyment of the audience and the audi
ence was equally generous in applause.
Mrs. Bruno SteindeI acted as ac-
companist to each of the numbers, and
part in the programme was executed
with exquisite skill.
The programme carried out at last

Red is a Cooling Color.

It has been found that smallpox pa
tients are least marked when kept in
rooms darkened with red curtains. Sun
light passing through a red medium
loses it's chemical power. 1t thus pre-
vents smallpox taking a continent
form. One of the sights of the 1900 eX-
hibitiOn will be microbes placed under
prismatic rays. We shall see how the
chemical rays-violet, stimulate
or tickle them to death. The violet rays
are the cause of sunstroke, though the
red rays have so far been blamed.
They become dangerously lively in the
process. Red is heating, but calming.
Is this why children who are restless,
feverish beings are so fond of that col

MOORE FOUND GUILTY.
Hutchinson Murderer Then Tries to
Escape But Is Recaptured.

Hutchinson, May 6.-John Moore, who
in March last cut the threats of his five
little children, crushed their skulls with
a Ratchet and then set fire to the house
in order to conceal his crime, was con-
victed today of murder in the first de-
gree which means a life term in the
penitentiary. The murderer pleaded
apoplectic insanity. Immediately after
the jury had returned it's verdict of
guilty the presiding judge received a
letter from a physician in Arkansas
City, Kan, who had previously attend
ed Moore and who wrote that the man
was undoubtedly affected with apoplec-
tic insanity. This letter will probab bly,
be used as the basis of an applicatio
for a new trial. AS he was being taken
from the court room to the county Jail
Moore broke away from the sheriff and
ran. The officer fired five shots without
effect but continued the pursuit and a
few minutes later captured the convict
in the house of his father-in-law. He
