yesterday noon, part of the harness
broke, letting the tongue of the wagon
fall and strike one of the horses. This
frightened the animals, causing them
to run. In their path was Mr. JACOB
Kull, who was driving to town. They
ran into his wagon, breaking one OF
the wheels and throwing Mr.. Kull out
on the road. Mr.. Kull was consider
ably bruised, but was not seriously
injured.

IL. O. O. E. Names Committee to
Investigate Kent DefalcatiOn.
wv. Il. Brown of Kingman is the
Chairman.
PREVENT RECURRENCE
Grand Lodge Will Adopt Strin-
gent Measures.
Plan Will Be Formulated by the
Committee.

The defalcation of D. w Kent, grand
secretary of the Independent Order OF
Odd Fellows for the jurisdiction OF
Kansas, still continues to take prece-
dence over every other topic with the
delegates to the grand lodge conven-
ton which began its session here at
Representative hall at 9 o'clock this
morning
A committee was named by Grand
Master Haughay, of Wellington, lmrne-
diately after the business of honor1ns
the credentials of the delegates. for the
purpose of making a thorough 1nvestl-
cation of the Kent affair
The committee is composed of w l.
Brown, of Kingman. late grand repre-
sentative of the Kansas odd Fellows at
the sovereign grand lodge at Indianap-
oils; J. A Campbell, of Severance anu
s. H Kelsey, OF Atchison-
The duty of this committee will be
10 discover. if possible, some means of
returning to the lodge the amount OIL
money embezzled by D. W. Kent, tne
absconding secretary, $S,696-ll, and tai
measures for his prosecution IN case ne
is found and arrested
This committee Will not have author
1ty to make suggestions for legislation
TO compel the grand secretary to keep
straight in the future. Without DOUBT
the matter will be taken up and set
tied at this convention
The most reasonable plan yet sug-
gested is the one made by George w.
Jones' who was appointed by Grand
Master Haughey to fill the vacancy
caused by the departure of d. W. Kent
He says in the last report:
Permit me to suggest that a resolu-
ton should be adopted, or our grand
lodge law amended. requiring the grand
secretary to turn over all grand lodge
funds in his possession to the granu
treasurer the first of each month; ana
a refusal to comply should be made a
sufficient cause for removal from office.
The business part of our order should
be run and managed in business-ilke
way.
1t has also been suggested that the
amount of the bond required of the
grand secretary be increased so as TO
cover the total amount of money that
may be collected during any one
month.
WITH THE REBEKAHS.
The Rebekah branch of the Odd Eel
lows is also in session at the senate
chamber at the state house today The
Headquarters of the branch of the or
der has been maintained at the Cope
land hotel, where the register shows
that over 500 delegates are in attend
ance-
The principal business to come before
this branch of the order will be the re-
ports of the officers and the election Of
officers for the ensuing year
DEGREES CONFERRED.
At a special meeting held last even
ing at Representative hall nearly five
hundred delegates were honord by be
ing given the past official and granc
lodge degrees. This is the regular or
der of business at each annual conven-
ton. A portion of the delegates have
been in the convention before and arr
acquainted with the ritual, and the new
delegates are given the degrees by thu
old ones.
The Rebel1ahs held an informal re
ception at the headquarters, the Cope
land hotel last evening

JEWETT IS HERE.
Doesn't Know Whether He Will
Account For Visitors Fees.

Though the irregularity of collecting
fees from visitors at the state peniten-
tiary is under fire, Warden JeWett diG
not make any arrangements while at
the statehouse today to file an account
ing of them. He passed over this mat
ter to the extent of almost ignoring it.
When asked point blank DO you pro
pose to render a statement OF the ices
collected to The state AUDITOR? MI
Jewett returned an evasive answer
II do not know that I shall make any
change in the keeping of this account,
he said 1T is all down on the books
over at the penitentiary. Come over
and 1 will show you all the receipts ana
disbursements.
Il should think the newspapers of the
state would approve the charging OF
fee to visitors as taking the part OF
the state against the electric ROAD
That corporation wants to see all the
opposition hndable, for the opposition
helps them.
1.-The funds are used in ways for
which the legislature makes no appro-
priations. l think the prison dlscipl me
is improved by giving the convlcts the
music of a band, which plays IN the
chapel Sundays and out in the yard
where all can hear some evenings
Such things take the convicts' thoughts
away from their troubles.
The warden's monthly sworn state
ment includes an accounting OF every
minor thing down to the sale of kind
ling wood and kitchen Stops. except the
visitors fee. Warden Jewett was here
today to consult with Governor Stan
lev but the latter is attending the log
rolling at Hiawatha- The controversy
has reached a critical stage, and re-
versal of his decision to make no re-
port of the fees collected is expected
in the course of a few days.

MIR. BIGHAM HERE.
He Is On His Way to Assume the
Consulate Duties.

William Ross Bigham, who was last
month appointed to Cape Town, South
Africa, to succeed Consul Stowe, VIII
start for his post of duty next week.
leaving White City Monday Mr.. Big
ham will stop in Kansas City to CONFER
with ex-Consul Stowe and then proceed
to Washington for instructions Win
in 80 days he expects to arrive at cape
Town, via London, and take charge OF
the consulate.
Mr.. Brigham was in Topeka today
making final dispositions of some m at
from Morris county. He said; Il am
certainly well pleased with the appoint
ment. 1t is not only an honor but
appreciate the responsibilities or the
place and assume the task with the
feeling that there is plenty of Work 10
do and a determination to do it.
Mr. Righam also had a previous con-
ference with ex-Consul Stowe yester-
day in Kansas City. He learned among
other things that he viii have n reports
to make
Mr.. Bigham said today that he had
originally asked for the consulship at
Glasgow, but the place was filled by
personal friend of President Mckinley
and was not therefore available He
then sought five other consulships but
all We're filed
Finally the secretary of state notified
him that the consulate at Cape Town
could be had by him and he accepted
it.
Mr.. Bigharn cannot take a secretary
with him from Kansas because the
government will not pay a secretary
salary. Mr. Bigham also said that he
has to pay his own travelling expenses.
They will amount to $500 for himself
and Mrs Bigham. The salary for the
consul general is 50, 900 a year and for
a secretary $50 per month

New York, Oct 9.-There is nothing at
present which interests Wall street more
than matters strictly nlarketwise- The
fact that the period of monotonous NOUS
dation and falling prices has been sue
ceeded by feverish activity and even
tendency to advance, although it has not
lasted two whole days yet, allows only
minor interest to be displayed in the
monetary situation. The troubles of Eng

WANT JOBES' PLACE.
Bradley, Ames and Sheldon in
the Field.

c s. Jobes' acceptance of the presi-
dency of the American National bank,
Kansas City, as told in Tuesdays State
Journal throws open the place of ma
tional bank examiner to a scramble.
Mr. Jobes sent in his resignation to
the comptroller of the currency last
night
J. T. Bradley, a banker of Sedan, is
awarded the pole Some time ago Sen
ator Burton tried to have an assistant
examinership created and Bradley put
in the place. 1t is now expected that
Bradley will be recommended for the
examinership. Bradley is W. S. Fltz-
patrick's partner, and an appointment
will get him out of F'itzjatrick's way
for congress. Elmer Ames, of Norton,
and Charles NJ Sheldon are considered
formidable candidates, and there is also
some talk of Bank Commissioner Nor
ton Albaugh stepping up.
c. s. Jobes IS one of the best known
bankers in the west, and his acquaint-
ance is very large among fnanciers
Since 1897 Mr. Jobes has been national
pancy of thar Office his territory at
various times has embraced all of Kan
sas all of Missouri, including St
Louis Indian Territory and practically
all of the territory in Nebraska south
of the Platte river. During the past
year he has has charge of the territory
of Kansas and Kansas City, Mo. MIR.
JobeS is thor ough banker, having
been associated WITH the DuSIneSS Oil
his life, beginning as owner of the
Bank of Kosciusko, Miss, where he
spent several years
Mr. JobeS was born in southern In
diana in 1858, and was reared in north
ern Ohio. From there he went to Mis-
sissippi when IS years ago. He came
to Kansas about fifteen years ago, set
ting at Medicine Lodge, where he be-
came cashier of a bank At the same
time he was president of a bank at
Attica, Kas.
During the past two or three years
Mr. Jobes has had many offers to en-
gage actively in the banking business,
and his position as bank examiner gave
him advantages in gaining a personal
acquaintance among the bankers of the
west
The American National bank is now
in control of a syndicate of Kansas
fnanciers. Major Calvin Hood, of EN-
poria. is said to be one of the leading
men in it, 1t is a substantial institu-
ton, having at this time in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, 900 in deposits.
Kansas capitalists who have secured
interests in the American National
bank with Mr.. Jobes are C. ]. Devlin

lions are nearly at a standstiI- Eight
hundred men and boys were thrown out
by the strike The boys who have been
getting so cents per day, demand rs

pose of enforcing their demands. One
boy, who attempted to work at the old
rate. was severely beaten by the strik
ers. The managers say they will shut
down their works for the season before
they will accede to the demands. The
scale which has prevailed in ten cents
over ruling price elsewhere, they claim.
