NO PARDON FOR AsBEL.
Release of n Labette County
Wife Murderer.

"1fe Murderer.
TOPEKA, April 29.-(Special.) Governor
Stanley to-day refused to grant pardon
to Marion Asbel, the wife murderer sent
up from Labette county. Asbel was con-
victed of murder in the first degree and
was sentencedito be hanged, which in Kan
Sas means life imprisonment. He appealed
the case to the supreme court and the de-
cision of the lower court was affirmed. Then
he brought suit in the district court OF
Eabette county against the state to COM
pei 1t to give him a new trial. This was
the first proceeding of the kind ever lnsti-
tuted In Kansas court. The district court
again appealed to the supreme court. That
tribunal, In a decision handed down recent
ly, again sustained the district court. ASbel
then made application to the governor for
pardon. After looking up the testimony
in the case the governor decided that 1t
was an aggravated case, that the murder
was in cold blood, and refused to grant
pardon.
Pardons were also refused in these cases:
George Williams. from Bourbon county,
fifteen years, for burglary.

Check skirt. and Plain Coats.

For useful everyday wear great many
skirts of tweed, in checks of various sizes,
will be seen, accompanied by smart little
coats of plain cloth, repeating the dominant
shade in the check skirt. The idea is not
a new one, of course, for these gowns were
worn largely in Paris last autumn, but it
is notion capable of SO many smart vari-
ations that it is sure to be made welcome
during the forthcoming spring and early
summer. The new check materials, too.
are exceedingly pretty, including. they
do. a great number of small shepherd 3
plaids in soft shades of blue, green and
heliotrope, combined with white, as well
as the more ordinary black, brown and
navy blue. Sometimes these plaid skirts
are strapped with the plain material of
which the coat bodice is composed, but
more frequently they are simply made up
on the cross. and trimmed only with but
tons and stitching. The very small shep-
herds plaid checks are always becoming
and in good taste, but for those who can
wear something rather more striking there
are large plaids in which three or even
more colors may, perhaps, be introduced

GLADYS PEAsLEY's WOE.
She Ran a Silver: In Her Foot and Now
She VIII sue City for
Damages.

GUTHRIE, o. T.. April 2o.-(Spccial1
Miss Gladys PeasIey, variety actress,
threatens a novel suit against the propri-
etor of the Cyclone" store, of this city.
Miss Peasley is leading lady in barn
storming troupe which has been travelling
the circuit of Oklahoma Honk-a-Tonks and
which has for three weeks delighted low
ers of the drama in Guthrie. 1t probably
will not be recorded in the suit for dam
ages that the company has been forced to
hit the ties of late, but it is necessary
to be known that Miss PeaSley has worn
a large hole in the sole of the shoe which
incased her dainty left foot. When she
entered the Cyclone store to purchase a
few yards of ribbon few days ago
splinter entered the foot by the generous
entrance on the south side and CAUSED
very great discontinue. to Miss Peasley
and the poorly protected member. fr
1t happens that the chafacter Miss Peas
ley assumes on the stage Is such that
sore foot is fatal to n successful rendition.
She is required to do considerable Tight
tripping" and the presence of a splinter
in the ''tripper" is not conducive to ease
and grace Of movement This point will
be emphasized in the bill for damages The
injury Is such that Miss Peasley's tenn
porary retirement from the stage or the
adoption of a wooden substitute for the
left extremity will be necessitated The
young lady has not decided how high to
place her figures in the suit. but is con-
sulting with her attorneys. The suit will
be filed probably early next week.

LONDON, April 29-The Coghlan Incl
dent has caused great deal of stir on
this side of the Atlantic. and has furnished
the press of England and the Continent
with fruitful topic of discussion through
out the week. The English papers have
taken lenient view of Captain Coghlans
indiscretion. and. except in the case of one
or two notoriously anti-American journals,
have been disposed to find excuses for him.
The Spectator, in an article which is typ
ical OF English comment, says:
Though We must join in the censure OF
Captain Coghlan for his indiscretton, We
must not forget that what he said was
substantially in accordance with the facts.
Germans behaved at Manila in a most
irritating and unfriendly way, to the Unit
ed States. 1t was absurd for them TO ex-
pect to play the part they played without
raising feeling of the most intense bitter
ness in such high spirited body of men
as the officers and sailors of the American
navy. An explosion of this feeling was
bound to come sooner or later"
The Saturday Review, in an article char
acteristic of its treatment of anything con-
cerning Americans, says:
Had an English captain made Captain
Coghlan's speech, if such thing is con-
| ceivable, or had German officer made 1t
about England, there would have been war:
but the Americans are treated by the world
like spoiled children. We, however, do not
envy the position of Captain Coghlan, from
which he can only escape by accepting an
imputation upon his sobriety."
The Speaker takes more common sense
view of the matter and rejects the brutal
and insulting suggestion of the German pa
pers that Captains Coghlan was intoxi-
Gated" The Speaker assumes that Captain
Coghlan thought he was talking in con-
| fidence to personal friends and mehbers of
| the Union League Club and ''let himself
60" His heaviest punishment" the
| Speaker adds. will not be any that the
secretary of the navy can inflict, but the
consciousness that he has unwittingly done
an injury to his own country"

WANT ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
Southeastern Kansas Coal Operators
Not Ready to Act Mt Yester-
days Conference.

PITTSBURG, KAS., April 29.-(Special)
the conference between the coal operators
in the Southern Kansas district and the
executive boards of United Mine Workers
of America districts No. IA and q, held in
this city to-day, resulted in no definite ac-
tion. The members of the district executive
committees, President Mitchell, of the Ma
tional United Mine Workers of America,
and James Boston and j. b. Reese. of the
national executive board. were present but
not enough of the operators were sufficient
ly instructed to act properly. The confer.
ence was pleasant one and was presided
and and Coke econ Company. with Robert Gilmore,
of the United Mine Workers of America,
as secretary. The different questions at
issue were discussed thoroughly, and a bet
ter understanding between the operators
and executive board reached. The opera
tors then submitted a resolution, asking
operators of the district, requesting that
they be present at another joint conference
to be held in this city on next Saturday,
prepared to take final action upon all ques-
tions presented by the district executive
board The conference then adjourned.
The companies represented were the ]:
and Coke Company. Southwestern Coal
Company. Reed Bros, Wear Coal Com
pany, Western Coal and Mining Company,
& Co., the Kansas and Texas Coal Com
pany. Hamilton & Braidwood.
The Durkee Coal Company and the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas Coal Company fail
ed to have a representative at the confer
ence.
The indications are more favorable for an
amicable settlement in this district at least.
The executive boards wish a suspension
of work in all mines in this district where
operators also operate mines in the Indian
Territory and Arkansas districts. Presi-
dent Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
of America, expressed himself to-day to
the effect that it would be an unreasonable
demand to ask the companies in this dis
trict who do not have mines in the South
ern district to suspend work.

years until he quit coffee and began to use
Postum. Now he is entirely cured and

The Winters Are Longer.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
Il am unable to explain the cause OF it.
but l know 1 state fact when I say that
winters are at least month longer in this
section than they were forty or fifty years
ago." explained an old resident to a Star
reporter. THE winter starts in a week
earlier than it did in my boyhood days,
and hangs on two or three weeks longer
in the spring. The universal rule UP to
thirty-five years ago was that winter fires
could be allowed to go out by the 18th Of
March at the latest. For the past twen-
ty-five years have observed that it is not
safe to allow them to go out until the 18th
of April, and even now there are a num-
ber of persons who do not think it safe
to let their fires go out. There are reasons
for this extension of the winter, there
are reasons for the lack and, in some
cases, excess. of rain. but do not know
what they are. Up to fifteen years ago
the rule of the department building was
to remove their wood storm steps on the
18th of March at the latest. but this year
] noticed they postponed doing so until
the second week of the present month.
though the treasury department is not
as fully convinced that spring has come
and has not yet removed them. This TAX
ing down of the storm steps Is about the
only official announcement that occurs in
Washington in relation to the demise of
the winter. I have, given considerable at
tention to the study of the temperature
and find that by comparison the tempera-
ture for the past fifty years has gradually
grown lower from February to April"

TOAST OF A TEET0TALER.
Could Not Drink Wine, but Could
Enjoy n Potato With
Friend.

From the Youths Companion.
One of the most vivid and interesting
sketches from memory which G. A. Storey
A. r. A, has recently made public is that
of the famous illustrator, George Cruik-
shank, and not less pleasing is the anec-
dote which accompanies it,
Eruikshanks himself bore a certain re-
semblance TO some of the eccentric char
acters he drew in his pictures. ..Fagin, the
Jew, in Prison." for instance. might have
been drawn with himself for the model. He
was quick I'm his movements, with sharp
intelligent eye, good sized nose. but very
little hair. which. however, was dark and
long, and collected and tied in a sort Of
curl on his almost bald forehead.
Mr.. Storey happened to be lunching one
dav at the artist Leslie's, when Cruikshank
was of the party. Leslie, knowing that his
friend had become Stanch teetotaler
said, with a sly look:
Mr.. Cruikshank, may have the pleas
ure of glass of wine with you?" raising
his own glass and passing the decanter
No, my dear Leslie" said Cruikshank,
Il don't drink wine, you know, but | shall
be very happy to have potato with YOU
Whereupon he held one up on the end
of his fork, nodded to Leslie, bit a piece
off and wished him very good health

sHREWDNEss OF ONE WIFE.
She Was Clever Enough to Look After
Her Share of the Re-
CENTS.

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
Herr Blumenthal, the director of the
Lessing theater, in Berlin, once had great
misgivings regarding the success of his
new piece, "Zum Weissen Roesse." One
day, when he was nearly ready to throw
the manuscript aside, his wife, who did
not share his opinion, said to him: IF !
had only 20 marks for every 1000 it will
bring, you | should be quite content"
"All right, you shall have them said
Herr Blumenthal 'Zum Weissen Roesse"
("White Horse Inn') met with an inn
mense success. Every night the frau di-
rector went to the cashier and levied on
her 20 marks per 1000.
On one occasion, after the piece had been
running some months, bad weather caused
a falling off in the receipts below the 1000
mark. and consequently Frau Blumenthai
was not entitled to her 20 marks.
How much have you taken?" she asked
the cashier.
Only 997 marks" was the reply.
well, give me a seat at marks, then,'
said Frau Blumenthal. laying down the
coin Now, you have 1000 marks, give
me my 20.' She got them.

ENGLAND AND THE B0ERs.
Indications Multiply That Serious
Trouble Is Brewing in the
South of Africa.

LONDON. April 29.-Referring to speech
made by the secretary of state for the
colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, early III
the week explaining that the massing of
large British force in South Africa was
due to the fact that the Beers mad erected
forts at Pretoria and Johannesburg, which
was regarded as a menace to Great Britain,
the Speaker declares that the speech was
quite as mischievous and unjustifiable as
Captain Coghlan's, and that it has given
greater offense to the Beers than Captain
Coghlans gave to the Germans; and Mr..
Chamberlains indiscretion was just as use
less as Coghlans.
In connection with the foregoing remarks
of Mr.. Chamberlain, another indication that
the causes of friction between Great Brit
ain and the Transvaal continue to increase
is given in the announcement by Mr.. Cham
berlain yesterday evening that Great Brit
ain had informed President Kruger that
the dynamite concession by the Transvaal
was breach of the London convention
The Daily Mail. commenting upon this
statement. says:

NO WARRANT FOR ALLG00D.
Greenwood County Attorney Refuses
to Prosecute Him for Killing
Charles Biggers.

Sn0rleB blSSers'
EUREKA, KAS., April 29.-tSpecial.)
County Attorney Johnson has refused the
request of Detective w. P. Fleeman for
warrant for the arrest of Frank Allgood
for the murder of Charles Biggers, near
Fall River City, about three years ago.
Although there is some evidence against
Allgood, is not sufficiently substantiated
to give any assurance of conviction.
should an arrest be made.
Biggers was, at the time of his disap-
pearance, an occupant of farm near Fall
River City, in which he owned part in
appeared, 1t was supposed at the time
that he had gone to Oklahoma, but he
never reached his destination. The last
seen of him was at Toronto. Soon after
Biggers disappeared, Allgood placed on rec
ord deed to Biggers' property. bearing
what was supposed to be Biggers sigma
ture. Friends of Biggers claim that he
was illiterate and could not write his name.
and that Allgoods deed was a forgery.
No further evidence was found, and the
matter had been almost forgotten when
revived recently by the confession" of
Alvin Ballard. Ballard claims that ALL
good once told him that he killed a man
near Fall River, and it was upon this clue
that Fleeman went to work on the case.
So far Fleeman has been unable to secure
any fresh evidence in the matter, and I'M
til he does SO County Attorney johnson
will decline to take action.
