advocates an increased tax on coun-
terfeit butter. commonly called oleo-

Thirteen STILL AT LARGE

To Date Three of the Mutinous Con-
victs Have Been Killed, Another Fa-

Hot Pursuit of the Prisoners Not
Yet Rounded Up.
Kansas City, Nov. 12-Another of
the convicts fleeing from the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth was laid
low during the morning near Quenemo,
40 miles southwest from the peniten-
tiary, when Lawrence Lewis, white,
aged 20, was fatally wounded, receiv-
ing q bullet in the back while attempt
ing to escape from the city marshal of
that place. This makes a total Of 10
prisoners captured since the outbreak
on Wednesday last, leaving 13 still at
large. To date three of the mutinous
convicts have been killed and five, in
Guiding the two who on Sunday made
captive of Sheriff Cook of Topeka
and then escaped have been wounded.
Lewis death will make the fourth ia
tally.
A horde of armed men are searching
for the captors of Cook and it seems
impossible that they can get away.
Reinforced by the weapons taken from
the Wooster house and from the Off
Ger they are we'll prepared, however,
to make a fierce fight. They are des-

will not be taken alive. Other posses

gangs of men within 10 miles Of the
penitentiary and further captures are
looked for during the day.
Lawrence Lewis, the convict shot
during the day, was received at the
penitentiary in October, 1900, under a

ly Issued in Another Court.
Chicago, Nov. 13.-On a charge OF
contempt of court Judge Hanecy has
sentenced Andrew M. Lawrence, man
aging editor of Hearst's Chicago
American, to 40 days in the county
Jail. The sentence of H. S. Garfield,
who wrote the article Objectionable to
the court, was fixed at 30 days in Jail.
The cases against S. S. Karvalho, fl
nancial manager of the paper, and
John C. Hammond, assistant city ed
itor, were dismissed. Judge Hanecy
declared that the cases against w. r..
Hearst, majority stockholder OF the
paper, Homer Davenport, cartoonist,
and Clare Briggs, also a cartoonist,
would stand until such time as these
respondents could be brought into
court by the sheriff.
Former Governor Altgeld, one Of
counsel for the respondents, entered
a formal exception to the decision.
"This case, l may say" the court re-
marked, els not appealable. You may
file a bill of exceptions for writ of
error, however. l am willing to delay
the serving of papers on Mr.. Lawrence
and Mr.. Garfield till you have drawn
your bill"
Thankful for Unexpected Favors.
1--WE do not feel that we have any
favors coming from this court" Mr..
Altgeld answered, 1--WE are much
obliged"
The article in The American upon
which the proceedings in contempt
were based was a criticism of the
courts decision on an application for
the forfeiture of the charter of the
Peoples Gas Light and Coke COM
pany.
Judge Hanecy said if the matter pub
lished were allowed to go unnoticed
by the court it paved the way for other
attacks, and that the judiciary, if not
held in respect, would fall, with all
democratic government. The article,
the court declared, was not merely an
attack on the people and on the court,
but a bold threat to every other
court 1t should, therefore, not go un-
punished.
A few minutes after the rendering
of the decision and the imposition of
the sentences as to Lawrence and Can
field, Judge Dunno, upon application,
issued a writ of habeas corpus as to
them, returnable Immediately.

A principal feature will be expert
ments in the cultivation of every fruit
or vegetable now imported from
Northern countries with a view to de-
termining what can be raised here and
the best method of cultivation.
This branch will include vegetables
of all kinds, fruits, hops, muskmelons,
watermelons, squashes, grasses, forage
crops and imported cereals, such as
wheat and oats, etc.
Many cooperative experiments will
be carried on with the State expert
ment stations, of which there are fifty
three or ffty-four il the country.
Horticulturists will be able to study
here foreign plants and other prob
lens which they cannot find the sub
iects to observe in their own States.
Some of the important experiments
will be with berries. There will be
a model cranberry bog, experiments
will be conducted in the cultivation
of huckleberries, which have never
been cultivated, though they are ex-
tensively canned every year in Maine.
The bushes grow wild, and have been
protected from the people who make
large yearly income out of the crop.
The farm will be devoted exclusive
ly to horticultural demonstrations and
experiments. The interest for the
general public will lie in the methods
of cultivation and the large variety of
agricultural plants and fruit trees
which will be seen on the farm. In
seven years the orchards of all kinds
will be bearing, including the apple
trees, which come to maturity latest.
The vineyards will be yielding grapes
within three years and the pear trees
will bear fruit in five years.

A Pretty Incident. =

Little Walter Moncure, now of Rich
mond, Va, until few months ago re-
sided with his parents at Leetown, in
this county, and was well-known and
much thought ofhere. A Washington
Post special of July 3, giving proceed
ings Of the Virginia Constitutional
Convention of that day, says
The prettiest incident of the entire
convention up to date then occurred,
as Delegate J. B. T. Thornton, of Prince
William, a manufactured gentleman
of benign manner, offered resolution
for the appointment of Walter Mon
cure as an additional page at 81 a day.
AS he began to speak it seemed that
another frebrand was to be thrown
among the delegates, but his speech
placed a far different Interpretation
upon the measure. He told how he
believed an additional page was need
ed, and, as he proceeded, every one
in the hall was listening intently to
his story.
"a few mornings ago" he declared,
"I came down the street and met a
little boy with piece of ice in his
hand, with a string tied around it.
l recognized him as the young gentle
man whom l have named in the reso-
luton. l inquired what be proposed
to do with the ice. He told met
was early in the morning-he was
going to make lemonade to sell in the
public square, in order that ne might
raise money to help support his wild
owed mother. l found that he Is the
grandson of Judge Moncure, and that
his mother is the widow of Baptist
preacher who had come to the city Of
Richmond to be operated upon, and
had died under the effects Of the op-
Grafton.
Il felt therefore, with no personal
interest on earth in the matter, never
having heard either of the boy or his
mother until l came to the city OF
Richmond, that it was but meet and
proper in this convention to at least
recognize the abilities and the work
that Judge Moncure had done for the
State Of Virginia by appointing his
grandson page at large in this body
and thus, in a great measure, at least,
aiding in the support Of this young
boys mother, she being the daughter
of Judge Moncure, who had married
a Baptist preacher named Moncure, a
relation of the family. l, for that
reason, offer the resolution and ask for
its immediate consideration at the
hands of the convention"
The resolution passed without
dissenting voice, whereupOn slender
lad barefoot and neatly but economic
ally dressed, bounded into the hall,
smiling as broadly as his little face
would permit, and took his station
with the other pages. There was a
round ofcheers at his presence. His
grandfather, Judge Moncure. twas
president of the Virginia Court Of
Appeals for twenty-five years. The
father, who died here in Richmond a
week before last Christmas, was last
stationed at Leetown, W. Va, as a
Baptist preacher, but the family is an
old and respected one in Virginia.
The lads full name is Walter Raleigh
Daniel Moncure, and he is thirteen
years old. A good Samaritan, whose
home is in Washington City, immedi-
ately sent him out with money to buy
shoes and stockings. and he soon re-
turned fully panoplied for his duties.
