TAYLOR COOK RESIGNED.
Convict Who Wanted to Be Hung
Now Willing Co Livs.

Taylor Cook, as told in the State
Journal Monday, has been attempting
to induce Governor Stanley to sign his
death warrant or pardon him from the
life sentence for murder, which landed
him in the Kansas penitentiary.
The governor declined to sign the
death warrant, but sent Cook copy of
the rules of procedure in pardon cases.
Cook has written a letter to the gov
ernOr in which he says:
If you apply your pardon rules to
my request to be hung, it would be the
height Of folly to make any further
effort in that direction"
The governors pardon rule is that
the sentencing judge and the prose-
cutting attorney shall recommend a par
don. He told Mr.. Cook if the judge
who sentenced him and the prosecuting
attorney would recommend hanging. he
would sign the death warrant. This
close approach to the rope scared Cook
out and he has taken to the woods in
the letter which follows:
''Since I wrote asking you to sign my
death warrant, Deputy Warden viii
Thompson called me into his office, to
talk with me- I was surprised, because
no one was interested in NE or cared
for me. When I left his office it was
plain to me that / had been laboring
under a delusiOn. My conference with
him was very beneficial. 1t dispelled
the ideas which 1 had and under the
encOura cement of Mr.. Thompson have
decided to make the best of the situa.-
ton. I viii let nature take it's course.
What can't be cured must be endured"

These companies were remustered
owing to the fact that the Populist ad
ministratiOn of this department did not
comply with the military regulations in
mastering the companies at the outset.
The work has been done by the present
administration and the military board
has approved it.
Gen Hughes discharged the compa-
nies of the guard in Topeka, Yates Cen
ter, Garnett and Fort Scott, some weeks
ago and this action was approved by
the board. The reason for the discharge
was the fact that when the companies
were presented for muster they did not
have a sufficient number of enlisted
men.
The organization of new companies in

ker of the Democratic union silver state

"THE GADFLY."
Stuart Robson's Sensational Play
Scores a Decided Success

New York, Sept. 21.-"The Gadfy''
was produced last night at Wallack's.
Mrs. Ethel Lillian VOynich was recOg-
nized and pacified by a line on the pro-
gram, which read: "A liberal adapta-
tiOn of the novel of that name Ed
ward B. Rose was named as the author
of the play.
The book is one of the most powerful
and sensational of the last two years.
1t deals with the perversion, through
injustice, of a naturally sensitive and
religious character into an aggressive
agnOstic, stepped in bitterness and
irony, and delighting in cruelty wound
ing those to whom he was formerly de-
voted. The book has an intensely tragic
ending. In the adaptation Burton or
Rivarez Gas the Gadhy calls himself

has an impediment in his speech, and
this affords comic possibilities to Stuart
Robson, with which to carry the siren
uous passages of the role. His present
ations of the role fully met eNpectation.

Dewey began maneUvering. He drove his
cab up along the express wagon and at
