WENT TOO FAR OUT.
Bodies of Prospectors Found Who
Disappeared IN 1900.
white sulphur Springs. Mont, De

White Sulphur Springs, Mont, Dec.
9.-The fate of George Hayes and a
party of three prospectorS who left here
been revealed in a letter just received in
the city. The party has been missing
since March, 1900, and every effort to
locate the miners has been futile up to
this time. Rev. J. c. Lenhart, formerly
minister at Hawaii, residing at Man
lila, was induced by friends of the miss
ing men to take up the search. Diligent
inquiry on his part disclosed the fact
that the party, disregarding the warn
ings of the military not to venture be-
yond their lines of defense, had gone in
to the mountains of central Luzon
Later the bodies of the four men were
found literally chopped to pieces by
bolomen- The heads and arms were
severed from the bodies and the bodies
were otherwise horribly mutilated.
Hayes and James Brown were identf--
fed by papers they had upon their per-
SONS.

FEE AND SALARY LAW.
Sheriff of Bourbon County TO Sue For
Deputy Hire.

Fort Scott, Dec. 9.-In accordance
with the action of the Kansas Sheriffs'
Association, Sheriff Brooks will next
month file a bill with the county COM
missioners asking for $1,000 for two
years deputy hire. The bill will be at
the rate of $50 per month. The sneriffs
have employed ex-United States Dis
trict Attorney l. E. Lambert to prose-
cute their claims in case the commits
sioners of the different counties disallow
the bill. Mr.. Lambert says there is no
question but that the money can be
collected.
A section of the statue makes it COM
pulsory upon the sheriffs to appoint
deputies, but there is no provision any
where for the pay for deputies. and it is
claimed that in the absence of law
providing for their salaries the commits
sioners can be required to pay reason
able compensation. The fee and salary
law provides salaries only for Sheriffs
and stipulates what shall constitute
their entire compensation for their ser
vices, but the contention will be that
this does not provide for the payment

PILES OF GOLD.
Omaha Savings Bank Prepares
to Meet a Run.

Omaha, Dec. e.-There was a consid-
cradle number of depositors of the City
Savings bank present to withdraw their
money when the doors of that institu-
ton opened this morning, owing to
misunderstanding, said Vice President
Flack, that the Savings bank was COLI
nected with the Omaha Loan & Trust
company, which was reported Saturday
to be in financial difficulty. Four tellers
paid the depositors as fast as they pre-
scented their books but many of them
on learning that the bank had become
segregated from the trust company re-
turned and again deposited their mon
ey. The bank officials were prepared
for the run and had great piles of
gold on the counters with which to
pay the uneasy depositors.
1.-THE run is due to the wrong im-
preston that the Savings bank is con-
nected with the Omaha Loan & Trust
company" said Vice President Flack.
There is no connection whatever be-
tween the two companies but the
owners and officers of the City Savings
bank a short time ago bought the saw
ings bank department of the Omaha
ing the offices formerly held by it,
number of persons do not realize that
the two institutions are entirely sepa-
rate and distinct.
while there is absolutely no Occa-
sion for the rum" continued Mr. F'lack,
1.-The City Savings bank is prepared to
meet any demands that may be made
and will pay promptly every deposition,
who presents his book.

Matinee is OFF.
Madame Modjeska Won't Appear
in Afternoon.

The Modjeska-James company will
not give a matinee at the Crawford OPP
era house tomorrow afternoon as prev
iously advertised.
The advance man for Wagenha1s and
Kemper made the arrangements for the
matinee performance but as Madam
Modjeska positively refuses to play
matinees except on Saturday Mr.
Wagenhals Immediately stopped the
advance sale of tickets when he arrived
here today. Those holding tickets for
the matinee can have the money re-
funded or exchange the tickets for the
night performance which will be
Henry VIII as announced. Mr.
Wagenhals said this noon that as the
company does not arrive here until
1890 o'clock it would be impossi-
BILE to arrange the stage for the n atinee
performance whether Madam Modjeska
would consent to appear or not. Miss
Lora Gale, whose home is in Council
Grove, Kansas. is with the company.
She played the part of Arthur in
Madame Modjeska's production of
king john last season. During the
production of "eHnry WIFI Miss Gale
sings a solo. A party of friends from
Council Grove will be here to see her.

A Dane, who is not a Dane, was pick
ed up by the police last night, because
he wore whiskers- and money and was
not acquainted with the town. A
stranger is not allowed to have money.
1t is strictly against the rules of the
Topeka police. If he has no money, he
is arrested as vag. If he has few
coins, he gets in the toll as "suspic-
ious character The most suspicious
thing about Mr-Dane was a small check
on a Council Grove bank. He was sub
jected to rigorous eXaminat ton by the
court and then held over for another
day.
Mr.. and Mrs Chas. Wells and Special
Policeman Henry Faes were among the
grist. The Welises are charged with sell
ing three bottles of beer, and keeping
diSorderly house on the side, and the
ex-policeman is wanted for being found
in the place when it was raided. Among
the witnesses were Eta Mills, one cf
the two girls arrested the same night
for dsorderly conduct, and William
Johnson, married man who was found
with the girls at the Adams house. The
girls We're fined $40 each, but the other
one. Irene Dorsey, was turned over to
a rela tive who took her home to Kan

did while waiting for the jury to decide
his fate but says he would feel better
still if George Head were alive.

Chicago, Dec. 9-What promises to
be one of the most interesting of the
Western Jockey club meetings is in ses-
sion here today. The board of stewards
met at noon to elect officers and ar
range dates for the next year, but be-
sides this a general adjustment of the
troubles and rivalrieS among out

HAZING METHODS.
How the Officers and Gentlemen
Are Trained at the
Academy.

WEST POINT. Jan. 19.-The commit
tee appointed by the House of Repre-
sentatives to investigate the subject of
hazing at the Military Academy. expects
to get through with the taking of testi-
mony by midnight tonight, but 1t is more
than likely that the sessions may be held
next Monday, as several witnesses have
yet to be examined. The Congressman
are anxious to get away from West
Point for business reasons and they Will
do their utmost to finish up, so that they
can return to Washington tomorrow.
The first witness examined this morn
ing was Cadet Paul ID. Bunker, of Mas
sachusetts, who is a member of the pres
ent third class. Last night some OF the
Plebes told the committee that Bunker
had braced them and given them totRsco
sauce during the encampment last sum
mer.
One of them. Cadet Dillon said that lie
was compelled by Bunker to swallow
from a half to teaspoonful of the
sauce given him in a camp spoon, which
is about the size of a dessert spoon.
Bunker acknowledged having braccd
some of the Plebes but denied ever hay
ing given more than fifteen drops OF
sauce to any one, and when Judge Smith
confronted him with Dillon's testimony.
the witness said he did not recollect ev,r
having given such a large quantity to
Dillon or any other Plebe.
