will far exceed that The nearest
state in the union to compare with the
wheat crop in Kansas last year was
California. That surprises me, but it
is nevertheless a fact, and statistics
show it so. AT present 1 have all my
cattle feeding on wheat, and tell you
they are growing fat. I think there is
nothing like wheat for cattle. and in a
short time, when they become little
fatter, / am going to sell the entire
bunch with the exception of a few
head, and not be bothered with any
stock this Winter.''

Man Who Slew Jim Fisk Is No
More.
Victim of Long Suffering From
Complication of Ailments.
STORY OF HIS CRIME
Made Interesting by the Close
of His Earthly Career.
Only the Mansfield Now Remains
of the Trio.

New York, Nov. 4.-Edward S. Stokes
died at $3.50 o'clock Saturday afternoon
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Mary
McNutt, in ST. Nicholas avenue. He
had been unconscious for three days, and
his death was expected at any hour.
This fact was concealed from all in
quirers.
AT 2:45 o'clock his nurse and valet at
tempted to turn him in bed They then
noted change in Mr.. Stokes face, and
hastily summoned his sister, and at her
request. teiephoned for DR.. John S.
Billings. AS it was known DR.. Billings
would not arrive for some time, DR.. Ed
ward H. Rogers was called. He found
Mr.. Stokes dying.
There were present at Mr. Stokes
deathbed besides his sister and DR.. Rog-
ers, his nurse, Walker and his valet,
Henry Dennis. He was unconscious to
the last and died apparently without
PAIN He had suffered more than two
years from a complication of diseases.
OF which the most serious was Bright s
disease.
EARLY LIFE OF STOKES.
Edward Stiles Stokes was born in
Philadelphia in 1871. His father, a
brother of James Stokes, was a man of
comfortable fortune, and young Stokes
had a good education. He went to New
gan business as a produce dealer. Then
he went into the petroleum business
with his father and they built a refining
plant at Hunters Point.
1t was the height of the Tweed ring
days, and James Fisk, Jr.. senior part
ner of the Wall street firm hf Fisk, Gould
& Martin, was in the glory of his career.
With one of his partners, Jay Gould,
he controlled the Erie railroad, and on
his own account he owned the Fall River
and Bristol lines Of steamers.
Fisks house, at 1853 West Twenty-t third
street, was an Aladdin's palace peopled
with ballet houris and given over to
rollicking suppers and general riotous
living. The head of Fisk's household
was Helen Josephine LAWYER Mansfield.
Fisk's wife, Mrs. Lucy D. Fisk, lived at
hotel when she was in town, but spent
most of the time at Fisk's country home
in Vermont.
TROUBLES OVER A WOMAN.
At this stage of Fisk's career he met
Stokes. The young oil manufacturer
was already a conspicuous figure in the
Delmonico district. He was a notably
handsome man. Fisk and Stokes first
met in January, 1854. January seems to
have been the fated month in all the re-
lations between these two. On January

WAS THE MEDIos' DAY
Easily Defeated the Eleven From
Atchison Saturday.

The football team of the Kansas
Medical college and the eleven from the
Atchison Athletic club played the first
successful game of football seen on the
Topeka gridiron this season The Med
les scored a victory of u to 0.
The game was successful from the
standpoint of weather. Rain fell inter-
mittently during the playing. The
ground was muddy, the ball was slip
perry. the players were soaked, a large
score was piled up, long and exciting
runs were made and there was just
enough wrangling. The doctors out
played the visitors. but the playing of
both teams was ragged. When within
Is yards of the Atchison goal line in the
first half the ball was fumbled twice
by each side Atchison punted out OF
danger. Jackson and Stewart made two
good runs, carrying the ball back TO
where Atchison had punted from and
then Stewart on a fake play circled the
right end for a touchdown. Lakin
caught the ball the kick out and
also kicked a difficult goal In the sec
0nd half the Medics by steady gains
made the second touchdown by bucking
the line and Lakin kicked goal Score
