CARL KLEMAIE.

There was quite an introduction To-
the above. 1t was a version differing
not in the slightest from the Advertis-
er account of the flag incident. The
Advertiser stated that Klemme had not
placed the German flag over the Amer
lean, but he wishes this to- appear
signed by himself. klemme seems
much annoyed because West. who was
fined 500, has appealed and further
complains that West is still talking.
In an interview for the Advertiser on
the Fourth klemme expressed the
hope that there would he no diplomatic
afterclap. Last night he seemed
pleased over the prospect that there
would be.

ly effective aperient, keeping the blood

ripe fruit. Priced by travellers, sea-
faring men, and residents in hot eli

and a delightful invigoratOr of the

GAVE THE POSSE THE SLIP.
Two Bandits Surrounded Between Atchison md Doniphan,
 kas., Got Away.

Atehisen, Kas., Oct. 24-Notwith. standing the fact that fully five hun. drcd armed men surrounding the is- land between Atehison and Doniphan all last night, the two bandits who Sat. urday night killed one man and wounded another at Doniphan, and duplicated this crime. near here. Sun day while being pursued by posse, escaped before daylight. Sunday night escape seemed an impossibility. It seems, however, that the robbers crept through the line of guards some time during the night and, stealing a team of horses, which was found missing when morning came, made good their escape. One of the men is known to have been wounded.

 Gen. Funston, in speaking of the To- pelia report that he would not accept the S1,000 sword which the people of Kansas propose to give him because of the inscription:

 T certainly do not intend to do any such thing. l greatly appreciate the proposed presentation of sword from the people of my state, and the inscription is one of which I shall al. ways be proud. 1 can see no other req son why anyone should imagine that l would not accept the sword with this inscription other than that I had not said the words thus attributed to me. But l did say them, and while I at taehed great importance at the time of the expression. I do not want mali cious liars to discredit me without any opportunity to set myself right.

WHEN THE CENTURY BEGINS
Statement From the Astronomer ai the Royal Observatory at
 Greenwich.

St. Louis, Oct. 24.-A special to the Globe-Democrat, from the astronomie- al station at Greenwich. England. says:
 ''ln reply to your inquiry we beg to inform you that the twentienth century begins on January l, 1901. It has been generally agreed that we call the first year of the Christian era An no Domino 1, not Anno Domino 0; and, consequently, the second century be- gins with Anno Domini 101, or 100 years after the beginning of the first year, and so no, for the succeeding centuries.
 The question was fully discussed at the century dinner, in Glasgow, on April l5, 1870. when the lord dean of the Guild, after quoting various au- thorities, gave his decision as arbiter that the nineteenth century did not commence till 1901, on January 1. One account of this meeting was printed, and is in private circulation at this time. Your faithfully,
