Thy endless years of eternity.
For I live and love and SITTER woe
Though thou 'liv'st forever thou canst not

WIRE STEALER GUILTY.
Oliver Lynch Tells Too Many Stories
and Is Convicted.

The jury which tried Oliver Lynch in
the district court for stealing wire from
the Topeka Railway company out on
the Oakland line, decided that Lynch
was guilty, and they affixed the valus
of the wire stolen at 800.
Lynch was placed on the witness
stand to testify in his own behalf yes
terday afternoon, and he succeeded in
telling two or three different kinds of
stories before he got through. Immedi-
ately after his arrest he told Sergeant
Donovan all about the theft, stating
that his mother had always taught him
to tell the truth On the witness stand
yesterday he denied what he had tofS
Sergeant Donovan and said he had told
the story because Chief Ramsay and
Sheriff Cook had promised to let him
go if he would confess to the theft, but
in the next breath he admitted that he
did not see Ramsay or Cook until the
day after he made the confession. He
swore that the stories he told the po-
lice and at his preliminary hearing We're
all false, and that the one he was
telling then was the exact truth. But
the jury seemed to think otherwise.

TARDY APOLOGY.
Arrogant Manager of Colored Com
pany Explains Slight.

Before the curtain went up on the
williams & Walker performance at the
Crawford theater Tuesday night, Sam
uel L. Tuck the white manager of the
colored aggregation, appeared before
the audience and stated that because of
the inability of the theater orchestra to
play the music of the piece the selec-
tions would have to be gone through
with accompanied by the piano alone.
He then devoted several minutes to a
criticism of the Topeka musicians
The criticism of the Crawford theater
orchestra was unwarranted, and those
of the audience who are in the habit of
visiting the house realized at the time
that Mr. Tuck was making fool OF
himself. He seems to have come to the
same realization himself, as today a
letter was received from him by the
MANAGEMENT of the theater apologizing
for his action in speaking unkindly Of
the orchestra and attempting TO explain
that he did not mean it as a slight.
On the night of the Williams & Walk
er performance the orchestra was i'm
paired by the absence of Mr. Frank
Watson, the leader, but undoubtedly
Justice could have been done to the
musical selections if opportunity had
been given. The Topeka orchestra has
had no difficulty in the several years
of its theater service in playing the
scores of the big comic operas that have
visited this city and Mr. Tuck's ignorant
arrogance can not be condoned. The
music for Williams & Walker was by
no means difficult

O'Clock last night an excited colored
fbman, With eyes almost bullying out of
his head, rushed toward Marshal Town
send, while standing at Fifth and Shaw
nee, exclaiming: He's down there;
he's all broke out with smallpox"
Marshal Townsend requested the man
to keep his distance and go and tell
his troubles to the police. The man
then went to the police station and sta
ted that at 615 Shawnee street. in a
colored boarding house, there was
man down with the smallpox. The po-
lice notified the city physician, who,
while not stating that the case was
smallpox, ordered quarantine estaD-
lished, and Officers Survey and
Schroeder were detailed to watch the
house.
The man, who gave his name as
HaWkShaw, came from Kansas City,
Mo, about two weeks ago and engaged
room at this boarding house. He did
his own cooking and seemed to avoid
meeting strangers, which leads the po-
lice to believe that he is wanted some
where and is in hiding. He will be
examined by the city physician this
morning and if found to be suffering
from the 1oathsome disease will be
promptly removed.
Considerable excitement was aroused

Chicago, Jan. 1s.-The Tribune says:
1t has been decided definitely to estab-
