ANXIOUS FOR TRIAL
=. e. Harvey Gets Into Clutches of the
Inv

S. e. Harvey was arrested the first of
the week for loud talking and profane
language. He was let out on bond but
did not appear for trial yesterday. When
Marshal Schad took him to the court
house he was over anxious TO prove his
Innocence and demanded trial immedI-
ately. Judge Kirk had several cases set
and could not hear Harveys case until
those cases were disposed Of The soon
est date was yesterday afternoon, so the
case was set for that time. Harvey did
not seem to like 1t because his case was
put off a couple Of days. He declared he
was innocent and wanted the chance to
prove it. and that right away. The
judge explained the matter to him and
then he said he guessed he would have
to abide by the courts decision.
Harvey had some friends with him and
they tried to set him to plead guilty but
he would not do it.
Harvey gave bond for so which he
forfeited for not appearing yesterday.

AUDIENCE WAS FOUR
Messrs, Fitch, Wilson, StrattOn and
TaDp Were Speakers

AS election day draws nearer the less
enthusiastic are Democratic and Populist
meetings. The Fifth ward Democrats
met last night in the Palace block. A
reliable party of that ward says it was
simply a frost. There were plenty Of
speakers present to arouse the allied
forces, but the hall was practically emp
". The speakers numbered four: Colo"
mel Thomas Fitch, D. A Wilson, Irving
Stratton and James Tapp. The audience
likewise numbered four: Messrs Park
hurst Grub. Brown and Wheeler. In
one respect certainly the most remarla-
BILE political meeting ever held in Wichita
there was a speaker for every auditor.
Now, there were also four corners in
the Palace block hall. If each speaker
had chosen a man and repaired with him
TO a corner. all the speeches could have
been delivered at once, which would have
saved much time.

Chicago, Oct 23-F. Wayland
Brown, Frank NJ. Smiley and Dr. Aug
ust NJ. Unger, charged with conspiracy
to defraud insurance companies
through the death of Marie Diffenbach,
were indicted by the grand jury.
Three true bills We're voted against
each of the accused persons. One bill
against each charges conspiracy to de-
fraud the New York Life Insurance
Company of $1,000, another conspiracy
to defraud the Supreme Lodge of the
Knights and Ladies of Honor of So. 900.
and the third. conspiracy TO defraud
the Supreme Court of the Independent

Probably no murder indictments will
be voted, as it is stated by members of
the jury that the investigation is closed
unless more potent testimony develops
pointing to the murder of Miss Defen-
bach.

NEGOTIATING FOR
GUGGENHEIM PLANTS

Denver, Oct. 23-Simon Guggenheim,
general manager of the Philadelphia
Smelling n Refining Company, and the
Mexico smelters of the Guggenheim
Bros. and Assistant Manager Finny of
the same concern, are in the city, pre-
sumably to make final arrangements
for the sale. of the Guggenheim smell
ters to the American Smelling 4 Rein
ing Company. according to Il morning
paper. The belief is general among
mining men and investors that the sale
of the Guggenhem plants to the smell
ter trust will take place soon after the
election in November. Mr.. Guggen-
helm would say nothing of the transac-
tion, whether it will be concluded
soon or at all, but he did not deny that
the company had offered to sell for
S3S.Ooo.0OO all of the Smelter interests.
including the Philadelphia smelter at
Pueblo and the plants in Mexico.
Since the American company was or
ganized in 1899, negotiations with the
Guggenheims have been in progress. At
first it was understood that they had
fatty refused to sell to the trust. but
later it was learned that there was II
disagreement as to the price to be paid.
There was Il difference of $4,000, 900
between the price asked and that of
fered by the American company, but
this. it is understood, has been sue
cesSfully adjusted.
Resident officers of the American
company have expressed the opinion
that the deal will be made. but they do
not look for its cOnsummation for sew
eral months.
Mr.. Guggenheim said yesterday that
he had come home to vote.

DEATH OF EX.SECRETARY
SHERMAN AT WASHINGTON

John Sherman. late secretary of state.
has passed away.
Few among our citizens have risen
to greater or more deserved eminence
in the national councils than he. The
story of his public life and services is,
as it were, the history of the country
for half Il century.
In the Congress of the United States
he ranked among the foremost in the
House and later in the Senate. He was
twice a member of the executive Cabi-
net. first as secretary of the treasury
and afterward as secretary of state.
Whether in debate during the dark
hours of our Civil War, or rs the direc-
tor of our country's finances during the
period of rehabilitation, or as a trust

laws for over forty years. or as the eN-
ponent of its foreign policy. his course

best interests of his beloved land, and

trymen will long revere his memory
and see in him a type of the patriot

''In fitting expression of the sense of
bereavement that atfiicts the Republic,

ty-eight
The funeral services will be held
here, after which the remains will be
taken to his old home in Mansfield
Ohio, where they will lie in state before
burial.
The immediate cause of Mr.. Sher-
mans death was described as brain
exhaustion incident to extreme weak
ness due to old age and to several at
tacks of sickness from which he had
suffered for the past year aud a half.
Since Saturday afternoon Mr.. Sher-
man had been most of the time uncon-
scious, rallying partially at intervals,
when slight nOurishment was given
him. Yesterday afternoon evidences
of the approaching end were manifest,
and he failed to regain consciousness
after o'clock, passing away peaceful
ly just before dawn broke About l
O'Clock this morning he rallied some
what from the stupor and turned HIM
self over in bed, but after that he grad
ually sank until the end came.
Those at the bedside included Mr..
and Mrs. Colgate Hoyt of New York,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Wiborg of Gin
cinnati. Mrs. William X. Otis of New
York City, +. Tecumseh Sherman, Il

ANGLO-GERMAN
AGREEMENT SUITS

Washington, Oct. 23-It was authori-
tativeIy stated last night that the Unit
ed States government views with dis
tinct favor the principles enunciatel
in the Anglo-German agreement relat-
ing to China. and that a formal re-
sponse to that effect will be made at au
early day to the invitation extended to
this government to accept the prin-
ciples of the agreement.
Berlin. Oct. 23.-The Post contains II
semi-otiicial communication to the cf-
feet that the powers have decided to
communicate to Ii Hung Chang the
general lines of their claims on China.
This will take place either by identical
notes or by collective note. The
powers insist on the punishment of
criminals as laid down in the German
circular note.
The Tageblatt learns that the Anglo
German agreement is the result of ne
gotiations which took place long before
the present conflict in China. 1t is Il
kind of payment on account for Ger
man neutrality toward South Africa.
The further payment OH account is
represented by an agreement regarding
another part of the world. All this
is the result of the Kaiser's visit to
Windsor some months ago.

A patrol of citizens has been keeping
nightly vigil, in Nebraska township,
over the home Of man and woman
who recently founded a new sect. The
religious enthusiasts have broken up
families and in other ways made them
selves obnoxious to the community,
but sober people have determined that
the towns good name shall not be
marred by the mob law which wilder
spirits threaten. Hence the nightly
guard. With all propriety one may
call it "knightly" also, for there is
something as high and fine as the
spirit Of chivalry in the conception
these Nebraskans hold Of the obliga-
tiops Of citizenship.

ere being adopted by the elevated rail-
way in New York has been started and
is now in successful operation. 1t il
said that the traffic at that station has
increased fully 100 an hour over the
normal rate. but this probably is due
largely to the novelty Of the thing.
There are, however, many people who
would patronize the elevated road

climbed. In appearance. the new de-
vice resembles the old stairway. ex-
