Will Clayson Places no Con
 fidence in Seattle Story.
MRS. RELFE NOT INSANE
Manager of the skagway Store Back From visit to tho States--Win Contest tho Estate = Has Cona- denoe in Skagway.

Win H. Clayson, the merchant, re- turned yesterday from a visit of several weeks on the Sound and at San Francisco. He says:
 "Whlle In Seattle l visited and con- versed with West, the man held there for burglary and who Is said to know some thing of the disappearance of my brother. l believe West knows nothing of the case other than the public at large. He Is likes ly trying to amellorate matters In his own behalf.
 There Is no truth in the report that Mrs. Relic, mother of Lynn Relic, Is insane. She Is just as rational and sane. fl not more 30, than those who started the runicr.
 "In regard to the contest over the will of my brother Fred, l shall fight lt to the end, and shall return to Seattle in eight or ten days for that purpose. Those on the other side would take from me what l have here. and something that they have had no part In creating.
 However, am here to stay, and be- lleve that Skagway Is on lasting fouuda- tion. The town, as have told others in the states, Is sure to be the focal point of all the traffic to and from the Upper Yukon and will therefore continue place of i'm portance.
 "ln regard to the search for the remains of my brother at Mlnto," says Mr. Clay- son, "I have no news other than the pubs He has had knowledge of for some time"
 Mr. Clavson has recently bought fine new stock of gents furnishing goods, which are now being placed on display at his store on Fourth and State.

J. T. BETHUNE RETURNS
Manager of Tovnsitss of White Korss and Caribou North Again For tho season-- He Predicts . Big Town at the Rapids.

J. I. Bethune, manager of the towsltes. of White Horse and Caribou for the railroad company, also mining broker and news> paper proprietor, arrived yesterday from the states. where he spent the winter. He brings news that two more steamers are to be added to the Whte-Horse Dawson run. and denies the report he may run for par lament,
 Mr. Bethune Is en route to White Horse, where he will this season have his main offices. He IS much elated over the pros poets of White Horse as town, and says many sales of lots have already been made, and a number of big business houses are going ln there,
 "l feel assured," says Mir .Bethune,' that White Horse will be the best town bet ween Skagway and Dawson. The traffic that will pass through the town, and the fact that rail and steamer terminals will be located there, together with the backing the copper mines promise to give, there certainly should be a good town at White Horse.
 "The report that am thinking of run ming for parliament as representative from the Casslar district, In which are Atlln and Bennett, Is not true. have too much to attend to in my real estate and mining enterprises. 1 understand Captain WaI> lace Langley will be a candidate In oppo- sltlon to the old members, Capt. Irving and Mr. Clifford. and that probably some one now In Atlln would enter the race.
 "A Mr. Barper, of Victoria. understand, Is to make an addition to the steamers on the White Horse-Dawson run. The boats, hear. are on the coast. one at Wrangel and one atIVancouver, where they will be strengthened and made ready for the sea voyage to the mouth of the Yukor."
 Mr. Bethune says that the Atlin Globe. In which he Is interested. and which sus- pended publication some time ago, will re- sume, probably in two weeks.
 He will leave for Bennett thls morning. and expects to visit Skagway again h a few days.

The foregoing important telegram was received In Vancouver from Senator Foster by George A. Bracket, of Skagway, who arrived yesterday on the City of Seattle. It reached him shortly before the steamer left Vancouver.
 Mr. Bracket has spent the last few monts In the east, largely In Washington, D. C., and during his absence visited New York, Boston, Chicago, Ottawa and other important points. The last three weeks he has spent In Seattle, Victoria and Vans eouver He will soon go to Atlln, where he has claims on Pine and Willow creeks, which he will work with hydraulic.
 Although have just arrived In Skag- way" says Mir Braekett."l left Wash lngton several days before John c. Price and others from Alaska, and therefore have no news to report from personal observs- ton at the capital that Is later than that already given to the people of Alaska.
 However. can say that certain sen ators have taken and are taking particular Interest In Alaska, and are solcltous for the development of this district as rapidly as possible. Among those 10 be mentioned for their Interest In Alaska are Senators Carter, Shoup, Foster and Beveridge.
 "Senator Carter, of Montana, chairman of the territorial committee, and Senator Shoup, of Idaho, of the same committee, deserve particular praise for their efforts in behalf of Alaska.
 Not long ago had talk with Senator Foster, of Washington, and learned that he is making particular efforts for the es. tabllshment of lighthouses and life saving stations on the Alaskan coast, and had hopes of success in this line,
 "As for those who were at Washington from Alaska, there were many just as IS found In the lobby of any assembly. As for myself. was there solely for the good interests of Alaska and as a man who makes his home In Alaska. did all In my power for the benefit of the district at large. wish to state emphatleally that the statement that l was in Washington with scheme Is an absolute untruth. l was there In the interests of no clique or representing no interests aside from those of the people, Snd th:re was nothing l wished to obtain as a personal favor or as favor tor ony individual or company.
 "l worked on Alaskan matters In Wash Ington In connection with others, including Gov. Brady, Mr. Price, James Hamilton Lewis, and found that, with the excep- tlon of few specific minor matters, they agreed in general and labored harmonious lv. All, believe, were sincere and guided for the best Interests of Alaska at large.
 "rhe alien exclusion act will soon be thing of the past. At the next meeting of the British Columbia parliament, in July, It will be annuled. Both parties hold for this In their platforms. AS iI Is, the law has been modified so that American capital Is permitted to Invest In Atlln by grouping claims for working.

GET IN ON The COUNT
EnumeratOrs are Not Alone to Blame
If You are Missed.

All the complaint about Irregularities
In taking the census of Wichita has been
adjusted and it is thought that with the
aid of the citizens every man, woman and
child resident of the city viii not escape
the enumeration. The count will stop this
week and if your name is not written
there" attend to the matter at once before
it is too late and help swell the number

There can be no system devised for TAX
ing the census that will be perfect. There
can be no enumerators appointed who will
get all of the information exactly as
asked by the government This business
of taking the census sets in operation the
biggest piece of human machinery ever
put in motion, and in spite of the shrewd-
est management, founded on experience
and wisdom in such matters, it is bound
to be fun Of defects.
Wichita has a bright lot OF enumerators.
as good as they have anywhere. Wichita
is interested, legiumately so, in having
every man, woman and child counted who
lives in the city, and every man, woman
and child who lives in Wichita is. or ought
TO be. interested enough in the city to sec
that they are counted
This is a mutual obligation the census
enumerator wants to count you, ana if he
does not it viii be through some mistake.
and you ought to be interested and pat
riotic enough to see that you are counted.
If the enumerator Of your district sends
in his report, which he viii do this week,
and you name is not on ii. and if you
have any reason 10 believe when you read
this article that he has not got your
name. that you have not been counted.
and you DO not 80 at once and look him
up and find out. you are 4 mighty slow
sort OF a Wichltan and ought to get up
and get out. We have heard OF several
young men who feave their room early in

said that they have not seen or heard OF

likelihood been counted. and If they are
not in the next day or two. they viii not

TWO DOLLAR STEAL
YOUNG HARVEST HAND TAKEN
IN By WENDLER.
Gave Up His Last Cent to a Ficticious
Farmer and Then Waited,

A young harvest hand named Jones,
who came here two days ago 10 find en-
ployment, yesterday reported to Officer
Remspere that he had been swindled out
Of 81, the last cent he had, by a fellow
who had pretended to employ him.
The fellow said he came all the way
from Ilionis to work in the harvest
fields. Shortly before noon yesterday a
fellow giving his name as Barnes came
up to him on East Douglas avenue and
asked him il ne was looking for work
Assuring him that he was the man then
represented himself TO be a farmer and
was looking for harvest hands Jones
was Immediately employed for g per day
and Barnes made an appointment to meet
him near the Carey hotel in a short time,
as he said he had TO go TO the implement
company to get a machine. Shortly he
returned and negotiated for a loan, stat
Ing that he did not have quite enough to
pay for the machine. The young farmer
having the utmost Of confidence in the
fellow and being somewhat jubilant over
his fortune in setting speedy employment,
gave him 81, the only money he had in
his possession.
Bares assured his friend that the money
would be returned as soon as they got
home. Jones waited at the corner for
over an hour Tor the return Of his new
master, when he grew suspicious and re-
ported his case to the police He repre-
scented Barnes as looking Ike a farmer,
and described him fully, but the police
have been unable to find him
The young and unsophisticated farm
hands who are hocking to the wheat
fields are a bonanza for the smooth
tongued swindlers.

STOCK CARS WRECKED
100 Hogs Killed in a Freight
Accident on Mo. Pac.
DEFECTIVE WHEEL BROKE
Smashup Occurred on Other
Side Eureka.

The Missouri Pacific fast freight, No.
454, was wrecked Wednesday night al ID
O'Clock, near Tonavay, the first station
the other side OF Eureka, Kan. No one
was injured, but all traffic was delayed
for several hours. Six or eight cars were
derailed and three of them completely
wrecked. OF these three cars two were
loaded with hogs, about half of which
were killed. and one with wheat. The two
cars of hogs were well toward the head
of the train ard the car Of wheat was
next to them. 1t Is supposed that the
wreck was caused by the breaking Of
fange on one of the wheels on the first
car of hogs. This allowed the trucks to
get off the track and, from the marks on
the ties, it seemed that the car had run
over the ties for quite a distance. She
smash-up occurred while the train was
passing over a small culvert which was
partially broken down. It IS thought
that some Of the ties in the culvert were
broken by the car which was off the
track, and this break threw of the cars
which followed.
The spot where the cars were piled up
was several yards beyond the bridge.
There is an eTnbankment on one side and
a deep ditch on the other. The first car
was left lying in diagonal position, with
the front end damned into the embank-
nent. The second car lay in an almost
perpendicular position on the side Of the
embankment, while the car loaded with
wheat was jerked off the trucks and
was afterwards dumped into the ditch in
order to clear the track About half the
hogs in the two cars were killed or in
jured and the wheat was pretty we'll
scattered. most Of it being in the ditch.
The bridge was repaired by replacing
the broken ties. 1t was nearly twelve
hours after the wreck occurred that the
track was cleared Train No. g. which
left Wichita at ITO Wednesday night,
was the first one to be delayed by the
wreck It waited until train No. 5, from
Kansas City, arrived, and the passengers
were transferred and sent to Yates Cen
ter, where they made connection with the
train from Coffeyville to Kansas City |
The passengers for Wichita were trans
ferred to the train from st. Louis. which
arrived here at 2:S0 yesterday afternoon,
only an hour and twenty-five minutes
late
In addition TO this. there were several |
freight trains banked UP at the stations
on each side of the wreck, and traffic on !
that section Of the road wes considerably !
consisted Train No. 3 is due here at
7:15 a. m. but owing 70 the delay caused /
by running back to Yates Center, 1t did I
not arrive until 4:3O yesterday afternoon. |
