THIEF CUNNINGLY CAUGHT.
A Railroad Man Robbed Mails 10 Kan-
sss.

Eureka, Kas., Oct 81. About year
ago J. w. Weatherford was night
agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad
here. For some time letters containing
money and drafts had been missing
from the mails and no clue could be
obtained as to where they disappeared.
Finally Weatherford left the country
rather unceremoniously and from that
time the thieving stopped. 1t was
learned that the drafts stolen were
cashed in Georgia and other southern
points, and that Weatherford had come
from the south.
Postofiice Inspector J. l.. Stice went
to Georgia and Alabama. lie located
Weatherford's relatives, but could find
no trace OF Weatherford. He finally
got trace of a man giving his name as
j. w. Ford. Stice found him at last
with his family in a log cabin in the
Mountains of Georgia. lie confessed
and told of conspiracy to rob mails.
Weatherford had secured key to
the mail pouches from his brother-in-
law, l.. =. Denny, who was postmaster
at town in Kentucky. With this key
Weatherford had opened the mail sacks
while in his charge and had sent the
drafts TO his relatives in the south to
be cashed. Among the drafts cashed
by this fence in the south was one for
s3l3 on its way to w. $. Metcalf, of
Lawrence. Weatherford and l.. r..
Denny, the Kentucky postmaster, are
in Jail at Paola and another Denny is
out on bond.

ANOTHER BONE TO PICK.
Turkey Will Resist Demand For
Payment of Ransom.
MISS STONE TO COME HOME.

Constantinople, Nov. 2.--The Turk
ish government is already preparing to
resist the anticipated demand of the
United States for payment of the ran
som necessary 10 secure the release of
Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the abducted
American missionary. The porte re-
pudiates all responsibility for the kid
mapping of Miss Stone and maintains
that the United States has no claim
against Turkey, and that therefore the
latter is justified in refusing to recon-
pense the United States for the money
expended in her rescue.
A high Turkish official informed a
press representative of the associated
press that the Turkish resistance of
any claims would be based upon the
contentious: First-That Miss Stone,
although warned of the dangers of the
road, persisted in travelling; second
that she did not notify the authorities
of her intention in order to obtain an
escort, which precaution even the for
eign consuls always take when travel
ing in such outlying, insecure districts
of the empire, and, third, that the
brigands who kidnapped Miss Stone
and her companions were Bulgarians,
that the coup was planned in Bulgaria
and that sanctuary was found in Bull
garian territory.
Sofia.-Mr. Dickinson, in the name
of the United States government, has
given an assurance that neither the re-
ceivers of the ransom nor Miss Stone S
guides will be prosecuted. He asserts
that Turkey agreed a fortnight ago to
reimburse the ransom.

mored that Madame Tsilka, the com
panion of Miss Stone, and her child
born since her capture by the bri-
gands) are dead.

Topeka, Nov. Alt has been given
out here by a close friend of President
Roosevelt that, if he made any recon-
mendations whatever in regard TO
statehood for Oklahoma in his forth
coming message, he would advocate
single statehood for both Oklahoma
and the Indian territory, and gave it
out further that, in his opinion, the
president would treat the subject in
his message.
Statehood is the all-absorbing topic
now i'm the two territories.

Must Fix Responsibility.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The United
States government SO far has directed
its efforts solely to the procurement of
Miss Stones release and all other ques-
ing that of a claim for indemnity have
been regarded as secondary and laid
aside for future discussion. This is
almost necessarily the case, owing to
the fact that in it's present lights the
state department cannot place the
responsibility for Miss Stones capture
and detention; further evidence must
be had on that point

New Rails on Branch.

Wichita, Nov. 1.-Roadmaster A.
West of the Santa Fe believes that he
will have all the new steel rails laid on
the Hutchinson branch by November
10. There will then be little surfac-
ing and a general cleaning up, but he
is confident that by the first of the com
ing year the Hutchinson branch will
be in excellent shape. When it is com
pleted, it will be one of the finest pieces
of track in the entire system, with the
exception, perhaps, of that part which
is rock ballasted.

The features and conditions of the match
not given in the press dispatches were
stated by Mr.. Wilson tonight. He said:
Mr.. Scannell accepted the proposition
Tor a race in q terSe telegram immedi-
ately on receipt Of our offer, and Mr..
Lawson's equally prompt acceptance has
been made by mail the letter having
been received. In Mr.. Lawson's letter
he additionally made two extremely gen
erous propositions-one being that in the
event he won, he would donate the en-
tire stake to Lexington charities, and
the other being that to insure the audi
ence that of at least one great race in
case his great young horse should not be
as good as he thinks he will be, he will
offer purse of 5000 to be raced for by
the stations Cresceus and Charlie Herr

two horses to pay an entrance fee of

the winner to get $1,000 and the loser
$2,O0O: This generous action of Mr.. Law

body knows that there is not one chance

TRUST YOUR BICYCLE.
1t 'KnOws FITS Business Far Better

Did you ever notice. said an old bl-

wheelmen, that bicycles are at times
as sensitive as horses? No? Well, it's
a fact, and any man who doubts it has
not rolled up much of mileage or else
any mistake. There is a subtle some
thing in the average up-to-date wheel
that SmackS very much of instinct, If not
of out-and-out intelligence, and [ venture
to say that more than one of you fellows
will bear out my statement
Did you ever notice how differently
a wheel behaves under the guidance Of
stunts under the heSitating control of a
beginner? If you haven't, just improve
the first opportunity to take notes
For instance, see the absolute obedi-
ence of Jimmie MichaelS mount, when IL

Was there ever horse that could follow
pace like a wheel with master in the

Did you ever happen to see a novice

Do you know, l think a wheel dislikes

Seated Otto Crib, of Australia, in twen-
ty rounds. Like all imported fighters,
the coming of Crib was heralded by
sonorouS blast of trumpets and tales
OF the fistic marvels he wrought while in
his own Dailiwick.
Soon after his arrival he knocked out
frank Mcconnell, and Stra1ghtway his
press agent ceased to slumber nights and
worked overtime issuing cartels of de-
fiance to all pugiliSts in the Crib class
performing in the ring: Thurston ac-
cepted the challenge, and twenty round
draw was the result of the meeting. A
second match was arranged, and Thur
ston, having solved his mans style, put
his new found knowledge to such good
use, that he carried off the lions share
of the receipts and the verdict. If there
are any more scrappers in Kangaroo land
of the Jackson, FitZsimmons or Griffe
brand, they are keeping well under cover.
Whether Tim Hagarty, the crack feath-

Australia, VIII live up to the reputation
he carries or take rank with the Ameri-
