NO OFFENCE TO BE GIVEN.
Visit of Boer Emissaries Will Be
Fruitless.

New York. May ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
In view of the conciliatory policy
Great Britain is pursuing toward this
country, which may include a formal
disavowal of the search of the American
ship Sea Witch, while alleged to be in

British officials the agitation for pOliti-

results are concerned, the impending

DEALT IN CATTLE PAPER.
Geo. R. Landers, Short Grass Bro
ker. in Jail on a Serious Charge.

Anthony, May 11.-Sheriff Mendenhall
of WyandOtte county has taken George
r. Landers from this city to Kansas
City for trial on the charge of securing
ST., 1926 from the Evans-Snider-Buel Live
Stock Commission company. He was
arrested at Anthony at the request of
Sheriff Mendenhall and turned over to
him.
Landers was at one time a leading
banker and live stock dealer in western
Kansas. Some time ago he became
mixed up in a deal with the Evans
Snider-Buel company, by mOrtgaging
cattle he did not own. The case is a
complicated one and Landers claims
that he has not in any way violated the
law.
Sheriff Mendenha1l had novel exper'-
fence in getting away from Anthony
with his prisoner. Landers asked for
time in which to consult with his law
yers before leaving the city, and was
allowed to confer with them. 1t was
quietly arranged to get out habeas cor
pus proceedings to detain the Wyan-
dotte officer and his prisoner at Anthony
for an indefinite length of time. How
ever, Sheriff Mendenhau became
acquainted with the plans in time to
hire a rig and drive thlrty-four miles to
a station with his prisoner, catching a
train for Kansas City. The habeas cor
pus papers got out at Anthony remain
unaerVed.

CUBAN'S WANT PAY.
For Telegraph Cables Cut During the
Late War.

Washington, May 11.-Considerable
difference Of opinion prevails here in re-
gard to the liability of the United States
government for the damages sustained
by the Cuban submarine telegraph COM
pany during the Spanish-American war.
The company has presented a claim for
damages, and the president has sent a
message to congress setting the matter
before that body. In the opinion of one
of the high officials of the government,
Cuba and not the United States is di-
rectly responsible, or liable for any losses
sustained as the company is a Cuban in
stitution, and if any recOmpense is made
he holds that Cuba should defray the

forces as a war time precautiOns

Another lightning Rod Case.

The first of the week a man APP
peared at the home of Mr.. w. T..
Stout, in Usage township, and grad
ually brought the conversation around
to the subject of lightning rods. Mr..
Stout SHE'D. He has been reading the
REGIS TER for twenty years and he
had heard of lightning rod sharks.
But the man told him he would rod
his new barn for $7.50-"just to pay
the expense of the work." ''just as
an advertisement''-an would throw
in ten year policy of lightning i'm
surance for nothing, and would take
out the $3.50 in board. There didn't
seem to be any possible way to lose
out on that kind of proposition and
so Mr.. Stout signed a contract setting
forth all these agreements, and the
man took his departure, saying that
his men would come in day or two
to DO the work.
The next day some men came and
the rods were duly put up. They then
called for a settlement. Mr.. Stout
quoted the agreement made the day
before. The men were shocked. The
idea that an agent of the Company
should make such a contract as that
They could not abide by it. There
were only two alternatives, Mr.. Stout
must either give them at once his note
for $3.50, or they would send in the
bill at the regular rates to the Topeka
Office and he won be stuck for $3.50
As the lesser of two evils Mr.. Stou
/ signed the note.
And now he wishes TO serve notice
ON everybody that who ever buys thu
note win do it at his own risk rs i
will not be paid-unless the court
compel it, and he does not think they
will.
Why is it that the slickest rascaI
out of jail just seem to natural,

ness?

Came to Take the Cure.

While Mayor Mcclure was in To-
pelSa the other day, he talked lola, of
course, to every man that would stand
still and listen. After he had run
everybody else out of the hotel he
found one man left, sitting Ia a chair,
too drunk to walk. The mayor sat
down beside him and laid before his
eyes all the advantages of lola, her
gas, factories, climate, prospects, peo-
pie. He took plenty of time for he
knew he had a victim. The latter lay
with an expressionless stare during
the three hours talk and only at the
close did he seem to take interest.

along to talking of the lola factories
and began discoursing about the DR..

show which closed last week was a
most attractive affair and delighted all
who visited the hall. 1t was held in
opera house at the same time that the
m Getting of the Horticultural society
was held and nearly all day the hall
was crowded with visitors. The
chrysanthemums were larger and
handsomer than usual, the many
colors and shapes giving a very rich
and attractive look to thehall. There
were hundreds of the plants and as
they were all for sale many purchases
were made and will be scattered around
town, The show is becoming one OF
the regular delightful events of the
year and Mr.. Harmon deserves great
praise for the way he keeps annually
improving his exhibit.
