talent, whose development will be well
worth watching
Miss Marie Berry made her first ap-
pearance as a pupil of this school in a
song without words, Nendelssohn and

DIDN'T CONFESS
SHERIFF. KNOX REVERSES
HIMSELF.
Eureka CattIeman Knows About Mrs
News Case.

It has developed now that Sheriff Knox
Of Greenwood county, to whom Mrs. New
is said to have made a confession OF her
ariIt. said at the time that he didn't know
what she said.
T. II. Johnston, a cattleman of Green
wood county, who lives in Eureka, gave
the Eagle an account of the incident Of
Mrs News supposed confession. Mr..
Johnston said:
"In a few minutes after the trial Of
Mrs New had closed and the case had
gone to the jury the Tumor spread over
town that she had confessed. Everybody
was talking about 1T. Mrs. New was in
the entrance hall of the jail. Two or three
of us were standing near the postoftice
discussing the matter when Sheriff Knox
walked out of the jail and came f!ons
where we were. We asked him if Mrs.
New had confessed and he said he guessed
not He said that a Mrs Murphy came
in and, throwing her arms around Mrs.
News neck, said it was awful That Mrs.
New told Mrs. Murphy 10 get away; she
had done her CAIrs. New all the injury
she could. Mrs. New said something else,
but Sheriff Knox said he didn't know
Mrs. New confessed, and that is one of
the strong points in the fight against a
new trial. I will get on the witness stand
in any court and swear that heard Knox
say that he didn't know what Mrs. New
said"
Mr.. Johnston says that everybody in
Greenwood county knows that Mrs. New
and Dobbs didn't get a decent trial. but
he says that nobody in the county has
any confidence in the man who is working
up the story There is where al, this
trouble is coming from. The county at
torney has something at stake, too He
got considerable nOtoriety out of the case
and had made very little showing up to
that time. OF course he and the judge
who tried the case would be averse to a
new trial.
There is another very funny thing aboht
that case. J. r. Shultz, who tried the
case, got s1G00 in money besides a lot Of
property. When his clients were convict
ed he didn't ask for a new trial. though
! he knew it couldn't he any worse for them
in second verdict. It was a life SEN
| tence the way It was. and he could have
! asked for a new trial OF appealed the case
to the supreme court He had money
enough. Instead Of that he simply. right
in court. admitted the guilt of both of
them and asked the judge to be lenient
4 am confident said Mr.. Johnston. that
II good detective officer would get hold
of the case these people would at least
set new trial and I believe If it was
taken outside Of Greenwood county they
would be cleared without any trouble at
all Nothing was proved on them"

ready esta blished fame as favorite solo
pianists by demonstrating the fact that
they are equally as firm in ensemble play
ing. Their technic was clear and interpre-
tation very interesting. The dainty and
brilliant rendition Of the Schurzo by Men
delssohn called forth most enthusiastic
and persistent applause, to which they re-
spOnded.
Miss Montez Dunbar added much to the
enjoyment of the evening by singing in her
own charming manner my Own, My
Queen" which was so highly appreciated
and well received that Miss Dunbar kind
" repeated it.
The music of this song was composed
by Prof Blume and the words by Mrs.
Guthrie Although the professor does not
pose as a composer, his first composition
is one of merit and very pleasing. The
words are wei suited to the music.

BOTK|N WANTS It
After the Nomination to Con-
greSS From the Seventh.
TALKS WITH Mr.. TAPP
Wants to Pool Interests on
Sedgwick's Delegation

Congressman at Large Jerre Botkin was
In Wichita yesterday. He is scared over
the boom that is working up for Jim Tapp
for the fusion nomination to congress
from the Seventh district He had a long
conference with Mr.. Tapp in which it is
understood that he urged AIr. Tapp to hold
off for awhile, though Mr.. Tapp declined
TO say just what conversation took place.
Mr. Botk3n, it is known, wants to be a
candidate from the Seventh district him
self, but if he can't get that he wants
the nomination for his old place again.
His preliminary plan is to pool with Mr..
Tapp TO secure second pull on the Sedg-
wick delegation pending developments,
and his ambition is to secure the nomina-
ton to succeed Jerry Simpson. Mr.. Bot
kin said that he had understood Mr.. Tapp
was candidate and he simply dropped
off in Wichita for a friendly visit.
Mr.. Tapp has over a hundred letters
from reform enthusiasts all over the Sew
enth district asking him to become a can
didate al once and promising him support.
H has letters from Sumner county, where
Ed Hackney is nursing a little boom Of his
own in opposition to Mr.. BotIin, and from
Kingman. Barber. Reno, Rice and Bar
ton counties. He hasn't said yet positively
that he will enter the race. but he has
made the other candidates uneasy enough
that they want public declination from
him.
Mr. Botkin's early efforts to corral the
nomination from the Seventh district is
evidence that he feels positive that Kan
sas will go Republican in 1900 and he re-
CARDS the Seventh as little less hopeless,
although he would like the nomination as
the choice Of the lesser of two probable
great defeats. With Mr.. Botkin in the
race there are about seven candidates for
the place already. Bill Brown of Pratt,
still hopes TO succeed Simpson. Ed Hack
ney of Sumner, Glenn Fairchild Of KING
man, lands Of Medicine Lodge, Mr.. Tapp
of Wichita, and a school teacher of Reno
county by the name Of Genet, who Is
better known in Reno and Harvey counties
now than Simpson was in Barber when
ne was first nominated.

shield was the sign of the double-headed
eagle, between the two crests of which
and resting dormant was the delta of
the Southern Grand Masonic jurisdiction,
enclosing the symbolic sign of the sd de-
gree On the opposite side was the Ma
sonic emblem Of the Teutonie Cross in
four bars which is the official symbol in
the United States of the Kadosh system
OF degrees of the Ancient and Accepted
Rite, taking the place of the original
jewel of the degree, which was the Latin
or Prussian Cross. Among the brother
hood of Scottish Rite Masons the heraldry
OF this emblematic charm is as follows:
'"Feutonic Cross, mingled with cross 10
tent, sable; charged with another cross,
double potent of gold; surcharged with a
double-headed eagle, sable, and the land
mark Jewel of the Kadosh system OF de
grees from the 18th to the 30th - This
dou ble-headed eagle side of the charm
was representative mainly of the con-
sistory side of the rite, which esote.i cally
represents the ceremonial and official de-
grees On the other side was the un'-
versal symbol of the square ard compass,
which in ancient crlft or symbolic Ma
sonry takes in really all there Is to mod
ern speculative Masonry. Between the
several intersections of the geometrical
lines and angles was the presentation of
the mother bird pelican feeding the up
turned mouths Of her brood of feathered
young by the gushing blood from her own
breast, which she had punctured by her
own bill to sustain life for her young,
until help might succor them, one of the
most beautiful, significant and suggestive
symbols of the generous and unselfish
system of Scottish Rite Masonry Under
the square and compass was the quad
rant, representing the fourth part of a
circle, and in its measure, in sable letters,
were the initials 'I n. r. l." which be-
ing interpreted are 'Iesus. Nazarenus,
Rex Ieudeorum," or This is one, Jesus,
who claims to be king over the Jews
On the four bars appeared: George P.

1t was pretty and significant token of
the respect and fidelity of a large corps
of employees to their chief of years. and
on the desk Of the chief clerk on MONDAY
morning was heartfelt note addressed
by Mr.. DOld to the entire official and ac-

and warmest terms for their fidelity duti-

Beware of Food Samnies.

Quite recently in New York two deaths
occurred from poisoning by the use of
powders sent to the victims by mail. In
Leavenworth, Kan, the other day, nearly
every doctor in town was called to attend
the children who had gathered I'D. eaten
and been made i'll by samples of an article
left at houses by canvassers for advertis-
ing purposes.
Alum baking powders have always been
favorite articles for this sampling bust
ness. Yet there is nothing more liable to
lead TO danger than the practice of using
the various samples of baking powder
left at the door. They are presented by
irresponsible parties. in appearance are
not distinguishable from arsenic and in
deed, in Indiana some time since one
package was found, after it had caused
the death of the housewife, to have been
mixed with that poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples of food
or medicine offered at the DOOR Pure
cream of tartar baking powders sell upon
their merits and are never peddled or
sampled.

GOLD NEAR THE SURFACE
Tales of Riches Easily Found In Alaska's
New Disgings.

New Disgings.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The coast and
geodetie survey has received a report
from G. r. Putnam, at St. Miohaels, re-
garding the recently opened gold fields
around Cape Nome. Mr.. Putnam says
he cannot vouch for the accuracy Of the
floating reports, but it is certain new
fields have been opened from five to
thirty miles back from the coast, be-
tween Cape Nome and Cape Rodney.
There are about 1000 miners in this Sec
ton, with their principal settlement at
Anvil City, a new town not yet on any
map. One of the reports speaks of $1Q,-
600 having been taken out of an area Is
feet square, within a foot Of the moss
roots: This, however, is not vouched
for by Mr.: Putnam.
SAN FRANCISCO, July ga CORE.
spondent of the Bulletin, writing from
Nome City, Alaska, tells a story Of a
bag Of gold worth $40, 600 that in IA
working days was taken from q claim,
