May Die.
Claims Power to FOreteI Elec-
lions and Other Events.

Sam Jones, not the evangelist but the
colored 'hoodoo'' doctor, was found in
sane by a jury in the probate court
Friday afternoon.
The doctor claims to be rs years old
and he looks it. He is a typical southern
uncle" He came to Topeka not long
ago and since then the colored people
living in the neighborhood of Third and
Quincy streets have had spells thrown
over them by Jones who is supposed to
be a ''hoodoO" possessed of all the witch
craft known On several occasions
spaslns'' when he appeared on the
scene. His last escapade was to file
silver dime into small pieces and give
as medicine. His patient is in a pre-
cariouS condition. The old man was
taken to the probate court by Sheriff
Cook and after several witnesses had
been examined he was told to tell his
story. The old man is very deaf.
Make your talk shouted Sheriff
Cook. Tell them you are a mind
reader"
the old man as he arose and removed his
coat and rolled up his sleeves.
Gentlemen. said the hoodoo doc
jedge, amt yer?" he said addressing
Judge Dolman who nodded.
Il wish Mr.. Jedge Smith from Wyan-
dotte was hyear," SAID Jones. Fer he
am er mighty good witness fer me ter

ued Jones, my master had me do it.
I'm the seventh son of a seventh daugh-
ter and he was offered $1,000 for me cos
I was er min reader but he wouldn't
take it. I'm de seventh son of a seventh
daughter and dat takes effect in de
Bible" He paused.
"Whar am de Bible" he shouted.
Judge Dolman handed him one and he
tucked it under his arm and continued.
I'm 70 years old and want to sho you
what Christ says. He's a forerunner.
He says blessed be the faith believer
If you don't believe it look fer it in de

shouted Sheriff Cook.

case was closed.

RAILROAD news.
Kansas and Southern May Be
Extended to EmpOria.
With a View of Later Connect
ing With StilWell Line.
MOVE is BEING URGED.
Business Mems Association of
EmpOria is Interested.
X. & s. Was Built to Give West
mOreland a Railway.

There is a move on foot to extend the
Kansas & Southern railway south from
its connection with the Union Pacific in
Pottawatomie county to Emporia with
the view of later connecting with Still
wells Orient road at that point. The
move was suggested by the Business
Mems association of Emporia, and is
looked upon with decided favor by the
management of the Westmoreland line.
The Kansas & Southern railway is the
short line recently built to give West
moreland, the county seat Of Pottawato-
mie county, railway connection. 1t con-
meets with the Union Pacific near Wa
mego, and is has already been decided to
extend across the Kansas river so as to
connect with both the Rock Island and
Santa Fe lines. Emporia is in almost a
direct line south of WeStmOreland, and
in reaching there the Kansas & Southern
would also cross the Missouri Pacific.
In a letter to the secretary of the Bus
mess Mems association of Emporia,
President Wheeler OF the kansas &
Southern, says:
Dear Sir:=I have your favor inviting
US to open negotiations with your people,
looking to the extension of our line to
your city, and offering valuable sugges-
tions as to what might be done in the
way of aid. I am obliged to your people
for bringing the matter to my attention
and hope to visit your city at an early
day and take the whole situation up
with you. 1t is certainly or intention
to build to your city though we may
not be able to get farther than the Rock
Island this year. 1t would suit us very
well to connect with Mr.. StilwelPs pro-
jected line and we could give the best
possible route to Omaha. This would
certainly be a grand good road for your
city and I am glad your people are in
clined to take an interest in our move
ments-
1 shall be very busy with our extern
sion matters for the next two or three
weeks but will try to get over to see you
within that time. Yours truly,

Wallace Circus Fairies.

The Earl Sisters are as exceedingly
beautiful. as bewitchingly fair as they are
eminent in aerialiSticS- There are two
of them-Maud and Hazel. We shall
not attempt to describe their wonderful
aerial acrobatism for the simple reason
that cold tpye can not portray it's infin-
lite charm-can not, in fact, even begin
to do it justice.
Suffice to say that tremendous audi
ences in Europe, Mexico and Canada
have testified to their SURPRISING excel
lence by such prolonged, tumultuous,
wild and unbounded applause that re-
port of their triumphS has spread liter
ally unto the uttermoSt parts of the
earth.
There is organizing in Australia at this
writing big syndicate which is formu-
lated for the sole purpose of providing a
guarantee of sufficient proportions to in
duce these petted favorites of fortune to
visit that country.
The trip can not be made in less than
II weeks, and the Misses Earl demand
twenty-five thousand dollars and all ex-
penses before they will undertake the
journey.
Even at this enormous figure all Aus
tralia wants to see them-and are i'm
patiently longing for their coming.
They are with the Great Wallace
Shows at Topeka, on Friday, August II.
