forms to the ideas of the Census officers.

pointment Clerk were besieged today with

plicants with a smile and gives prompt an

thorough training in Kentucky politics. in
which he took prominent ut for several
years. Mr.. Langley, although full of in
formation for the use of applicants. never

Charles Busey, who is alleged to have
criminally assaulted Mrs. Ada Hardy, in
Georgetown. Tuesday morning. was ar
raigned in the Police Court this morning
On account of the absence of an import

ed. and appeared very nervous
The extreme penalty for such a brutal
assault in the District of Columbia is
thirty years in the penitentiary. In some
of the States the crime is punishable by
death. Busey. il convicted, will probably
be punished to the full extent of the law.
He will probably be held for the grand

KANSAS EDITOR ABsCONDS.
Tonganoxie Sentinel Man Leaves
Creditors in the Lureh.

The Tonganoxie Mirror announces
that George T. Everett, editor of the
Sentinel of that village, has abscond-
ed. The Mirror says:
George T. Everett, editor of the Sen
tineI, is gone, but not forgotten. He
packed up his grip and stole away on
election day. He did not steal anything
else, but he swindled people right and
left.
Everett swindled several people by
giving them worthless checks, and get
ting them to go security on his note.
Probably the most prominent person he
buncOed was Arthur Capper, candidate
for state printer last winter, and edi-
tor of the Topeka Mail and Breeze.
Capper cashed Everett's check for SO
and when the worthless paper was re-
turned to him, the guneless young man
asked the state bank to hold it for a
while.

one who paid s. for Everett's auto

Perhaps the smoothest game was
worked on Ed. Martindale, of the Law

dence is not a factor in business realms.
He departed from this principle in one
instance and is very sorry that he did
it. Martindale sold Everett some sec
oEd-hand printing material. Everett
gave Martindale a bill of sale for the
material and took the stuff away. The
was ready to pay, and called for the

The situation has undergone no change:
The adViceS from Argentine telling or
brilliant crop prospects within SIX weeks
of harvest and the large visible supply IN
that country compared to a year ago
have deferred bulls from taking hold with
any confidence. The threatened HQu1da-
ton in December wheat is slow in COM
ing, but we think it is nevertheless bound
to occur. There is fair margin for car
riers at the existing difference but there
are some large line of December wheat
still long and this property viii seek a
market before long now. Ihe n9relgn
markets show weakness, are above an
export basis and see plenty OF wheat com
ing their way. At home receipts winter
and spring wheat falling of and some
complaints of insect life in western sec
tiOns. but not numerously reported The
visible supply promises to increase next
week again. The drag on the market,
however is the long interest IN Decern-
Der wheat, which prevents any fresh
buying. Looks as if prices would grad
this property.

every where Of old corn are light and De

STUMBAUGH WILL.
Half of Property Given to the Hus-
band.


The will of Mrs Mary B. Stumbaugh
of Rossville, who died Thursday night,
and who had a divorce suit pending
against her husband at the time of her
death, was prObated today. The eSti-
mated value Of her estate is $4,000, and
it consists both of real estate and per-
Sonal property.
The first clause of the will provides
for the payment of the debts Of the de-
ment over her grave and the payment
of the expenses of administering her
estate.
The second clause gives half of the
estate to George w. Stumbaugh, the
husband of the deceased; the third sec
Stumbaugh, and the fourth section
gives the remainder of the estate to
Mrs. Bertha Hopkins, whom Mrs.
Stumbaugh raised from childhood.
John Wilt, of ROssville, is named an
executor of the WILL and his bond is
placed at $500. The will is witnessed
by w. w. Harvey, w. c. Bond and
The date of the will is October 26,
1899, the day after Mrs. Stumbaugh was
moved from her own home to that of
Mrs. Hopkins, and shortly before she
began suit for divorce from her hus
band.
Mr.. Stumbaugh in his answer to the
divorce petition states that he does
not believe his wife was in her right
mind when she brought the suit for di-
VOrce, or else was unduly influenced to
do so. Both Mr.. Stun baugh and his son
are at their home near ROSSVille, and
their attorneys, Welch, Schenck &
Welch, do not know whether or not
they will wish to contest the will. The
funeral of Mrs. Stumbaugh will take
place tomorrow.
