of the company which supplies all but

advance means $4,000 day more to the
newspapers, or $730,OOO a year over the
price which has heretofore obtained.
The cost Of the consumption is now
$4,000 day. The tendency is to raise
the price still higher. The advance Is
due partly to the drought of last sum-

A Kansas Murderer Asks to Be Exc

Topeka, Kan.-Taylor Cook, in the
penitentiary under death sentence for
murder committed ten years ago, to-
day pentitioned Governor Stanley to
sign his death warrant. Under the
Kansas law the death sentence cannot
be carried out unless the governor
signs the warrant which he is not re-
quired to do. AS a result, there are
sixty murderers in the penitentiary,f for
no governor has ever signed an order
for execution. Cook says he is tired
of the penitentiary life, and wants to
hang.

Governor Stanley told Cook to get

ON THE TRAIL OF CHAMPION JIM.

A London dispatch to a New York
French music hall singer, has sailed
for New York on fast steamer, in
tending to intercept Jim Jeffries, The
champion heavyweight pugilist, when
he reaches Boston on the twelve day
vessel on which he is voyaging from
Queenstown. 1t is said the singer of
questionable songs is getting to be fond
of the man Of Drawn, who was intro
duced to her in Paris at the Ambas-
sadeurs, where she was singing, and a
representative Of Brady, who hopes to
make many thousand and more ont
OF his mighty muscles, almost had to
smuggle him out of Ireland in order
to separate them.
1t is said that she declared that he
is the only man she will marry, and
that in order to show that she meant
business she booked passages for two
at the London Offices of the White Star
Line and calmly announced that thew
were for her and Jeffries. She can
celed her engagements in the French
capital, it is said, at moments notice
when she found that Jeffries was TO
sail for America, and hurried to the
steamship office and sailed on Satur-
day. There is talk of organizing a
