TO DIE FOR LOVE.
Hutchinson Ex-VoIunteer Makes An
other Unsuccessful Attempt
to Kill Himself

Hutchinson, Kan, March 24.-Cyrus
Taylor, who was a private in the Tween
ty-drst Kansas volunteers, and who re-
Gently attempted suicide here because
Miss Helen Dealy refused to marry
him, attempted his life again here last
evening. He is in a precarious condi-
ton, but may recover. Young Taylor
had made arrangements to go to LeaV-
enworth to enlist with the regulars. A
short time before his train was to leave
he took IA grains of morphine, and was
found nearly dead with the following
letter held in his hand:
Helen:-If this ever reaches you, you
will know 1 have done as 1 told you 1
would. I cannot live without you, my
Helen. Oh, if you only knew what ag-
Ony 1 feel when 1. think of the many
times your little arms have been around
my neck, with your sweet lips pressed
to mine-and then to die believing you
deceitful. My God! Why have you for
saken me? Even now, Helen. 1 still
love you Think kindly of me if you
can. God bless you, little sweetheart.
My dying prayer is for God to protect
you. No one but you knows what we
were to each other once. If there is such
a thing spirits returning to this
world, mine shall ever be near you.
This is the last you will ever hear from
one who was once your loving

Fireman Ash Did Not Know His Own
Dog When He Saw tt

Ed Ash is a railroad man. He knows a
Mcqueen engine from a Brooks and could
even tell the difference in the dark by
feeling of them or by the way they puff
and snort. If he was called an expert
witness to identify the wreck of a loco
motive be could probably tell by the
smallest fragment whether 1T was a
Player or a Schenectady.
He knows how to keep an engine, too,
but he does not know one dog from an
other, or how to keep one Not long ago
a friend of his in Arkansas City sent him
young dog. Ash was greatly pleased
with it, He looked it over. 1t was well
built brute, had large, intelligent eyes and
a handsome, shaggy coat of hair. He
took it home and started to feed it From
the amount of food he prepared for 1t, he
must have thought he was going to feed
an elephant, but all this must be forgiven.
for a railroad man does not know much
about canine appetites.
Night came He did not know what to
do with his new pet. He intended build
ing a kennel but until that was finished
he must do something with his dog, so
he procured a good, stout piece of rope
and tied him to post in the back yard
and went to bed.
The next morning he found that the dog
had chewed the rope off and made his
escape. He hunted for him but could not
ind him Now, the fact was, a next door
the next day. 1t was a nice looking dog
and seemed willing to stay. Ash the
dog, and asked where his neighbOr got it.
He explained that he got it for a hunt
short Ash thought it looked like his own
dog, but he could not identify it, so his
neghbor kept him. This all happened
three or four months ago, and it was not
until q few days ago that the neighbor
decided the joke was too good to keep
and told it

TOpeka's Handsome Stock
of Millinery.
Miss Wilson'S New York Trip, The
"Topeka Cash" Millinery the
Correct Thing.

Topeka is filled with pretty millinery
this season. Nearly all the dealers seem
to have invested in larger stocks than
usual. For several years back there has
been a noticeable Improvement each
year over the preceding, not alone in
the quantity but also in the quality of
the offerings by our Millinery concerns.
Whatever may have been the conditions
formerly, there is certainly no occasion
this year for any woman, however criti-
cal, going away from home to buy her
Easter bonnet. She will not only pay
more in Kansas City but she will not
improve any on the style or quality We
believe Miss Wilson is showing in her
department at The Topeka Cash Dry
Goods Co. just as beautiful hats as any
to be found in any store in Kansas City
or ST. Joseph. She bought the bulk of
her stock this year in New York though
part of it came from ST. Louis and
Chicago. We understand Miss Wilson
was the only milliner from Topeka who

THE LORDS SUPPER
Is to the Christian What a Jefferson
Banquet is to Democrat, Says
Col BRYAN.

Birmingham, Ala, March 24.-William
J. Bryan spent yesterday in Birming
ham and was given an enthusiastic re-
ception. Not only the citizens of Biz
mingham, but many from neighboring
cities and towns came to hear the great
leader on the current issues of the day.
What the Lords supper is to the
Christian, so a Jefferson banquet is to
the Democrat. Just as a good Christian
would revolt at having the sacrament
administered by an infidel, so a good
Democrat objects to having a Jefferson
banquet presided over by Perry Bel
mont" was the epigrammatical man
ner in which Mr.. Bryan referred to the
much talked of dinner which Mr.. Bel
mont and his followers are to give In
New York next month.
A public reception was given him in
the afternoon in the Morris hotel. Last
night at the Auditorium he addressed
an audience of over 1000. He spoke for
exactly three hours and was given
marked attention.

KEEPS AWAY TRAMPs.
How the Interlocking Plant at EN-
poria Favors Citizens

Railroad interlocking plants are not
usually supposed TO reorganize cities or
parts of cities, but that is the mission
performed by the interlocking plant put
in by the Santa Fe at the crossing of
the Santa Fe and NJ. X. & T. roads at
Emporia junction. Formerly all trains
were compelled to come to a dead stop
at the junction, and as a result it was
the faVorite gathering place of tramps
and rough characters, who would drop
on WestbOund trains there and catch
trains eastbound. Many depredations
were committed in that part of the city
located adjacent to the junction, and
the people living in the vicinity were in
daily terror of the travelling toughs.
Now 1t is altogether different Trains
are no longer required to stop at the
junction, as the interlocking device
makes a collision impossible, and con-
seQuently it is no longer a favorable
resort for the rougher element, Men
