REAL KISSES SENT BY MIL.

Since the day the first love letter was
entrusted to the mails-and that is a very
long time ago-sweethearts all over the
land have mourned the truth of the sor-
rowful axiom that KISSES can't be sent
by post"
Now, those sOrrowful ones can take
heart, for there has arisen a guide to
point a path through the desert of alb
sence. A Washington girl has invented a
method of sending kisses by mall. Never
again need the signing but distant maiden
place an inky cross at the bottom of her
letter as the conventional symbol of a
long distance kiss, for this Washington

THE GOOD FORTUNE OF THE
STURDY OLD PHYSICIAN,
DIR. BECKETT
A STORY FULL OF ROMANCE

MissOurian who Is Sole Heir to
Vast English Estate and Title.
Both of which He Expects to Get
Very SOOn-The Value of the Es-
tate Considerably Over Fifty
Million Dollars.
MARYVILLE, Mo-, June S.-Dr. James
A. Beckett, d sturdy old physician and
surgeon, who has been practicing his
profession almost lifetime in NV Con-
ception, in the western part of Nodaway
county, expects within a few months to
be one OF the richest, if not the richest,
man in the state of Missouri. The doc
tor, in fact, hopes to become fifty or more
times a millionaire. The story of his an
ticipated good fortune is an interesting
and romantic one, and covers about TWEEN
ty-five years of labor by him and his
father to establish mis- family's claim 10
an immense English estate, the founder
of which was certain Lord Percy
DR.. J. A. Bickett's father was Hieromy
Beckett, who was resident of Nodaway
county several years before his death, in
1884. Hieromy Beckett was the oldest son
of Anthony Beckett and Ann Knott, who
We're married in Kentucky in 1873 Ann
Knott was tie oldest daughter of Thomas
Knott and Frances Ray, who were mar
ried in Kentucky in 1880 Thomas Knott
was the Oldest son of Thomas Knott This
latter Thomas Knott was born In Eng
land and came across to Maryland in
1865. In that state in 1868 he was mar
ried to Jane Hart.
Jane Hart was an older sister of Lord
Percy, whose estate it is that DR.. Bick-
EFT is satisfied that he is heir to. Lord
Percy, who was much younger than his
sister Jane, lived to a great age and died
at Winterton Castle, his country seat, in
1871 He left a very large estate, consist
ing principally of land and money 1t
appears that Lord Percy had no relatives
left. when he died, but those in America
and that he had completely lost track of
them He knew, however, that his old
est sister had, many years back, married
Thomas Knott, and in his will he p-ovid-
ed that his property should pass to the
oldest male member or descendant of the
Knott family.
HierOmy Beckett, who then lived in
Kentucky, first learned, a few years la
ter, that he was connected by blood with
English nobility, and was the heir to
large fortune. The Inns, of Court, Legal

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Jury Returns n Verdict in Case of
James Riley.

James Riley, who was placed ON trial
yesterday in Criminal Court No. 1 for the
murder of James Mahaney by stabbing him.
the 2lst of last. May, was today declared
guilty OF manslaughter. Justice Cole SEN
fenced Riley to imprisonment in the West
Virginia penitentiary at Moundsville for
ten years, the maximum penalty for the
offense.
After an all-day session of the court the
Introduction of testimony by both sides
was concluded late yesterday afternoon and
an adjournment taken until today. When
the hearing was resumed this morning As
sistant District Attorney ShillingtOn an
nounced. after comforting with Justices
Co!e and Clabaugh, that, as the testimony
had proved Riley and Mahaney to have
been lifelong friends. and as malice in con-
nection with the killing was lacking the
government considered it proper not to in
import than manslaughter. The justices
took the same view of the matter as did
the assistant district attorney and Attorney
Thomas G. Taylor, of counsel for Riley,
asserting, the court instructed the jury to
return verdict of guilty of mansiaughter,
and not guilty of murder. Without leaving
the box the jury carried out the instruction
of the court. Sentence was then imposed.
The next murder trial will probably be
that of William Reed, for the killing of
Elizabeth Logan, last July. 1t will not
occur prior to the latter part of next week.

A PROBABLE CHANGE,
New Headquarters for Police an
Fire Departments.


Fire Departments.
IL certain alterations are made in three
small buildings located near the District
building, it is probable that the Commits
slcners Will move the headquarters of the
police and fire departments to a point near
the corner of E and 9th streets. The Dis
trict appropriation bill for the coming fiscal
year provides the sum of 81, 500 for the
rental OF building for the headquarters
of the two departments, and the Commis-
sioners have determined to rent the build
ings in question provided they be enlarged
and converted into one structure by the
first of July, in accordance with their sug-
gestions. If this is done the new building
Will be two stories in height and about
forty-eight feet in width. A wide entrance
in the center will divide the building both
on the first and second floor. One side of
the building on the first floor will be de-
voted to the police department, principally
to the detective corps, and the other to
the fire department.
Chief Sylvester of the police department
Will be located in the second story, which
story will also be divided. though not even
ly. between the two departments. The plans
approved by the Commits sioners will, if
carried out by the owner of the buildings
give the heads of the departments and the
subordinate officials of each ample and COM
modiOus rooms conVenenceS which they

easily alight when he wanted to. Unfortu-
rately for him he had boarded a fast train
for the west, the speed of which constantly
increased as ii moved toward the outskirts
of the city.
Baird soon lost his nerve and fell off As
he did so the engine struck him and knock
ed him from the track. Two of his ribs on
the right side were broken and his face
chin, neck and right arm We're badly bruis-
ed and cut. Word was conveyed to the
railroad station, from which help was sent
and the injured man was carried to the
Emergency Hospital.
