FINE BODY OF men.
Opinion of Kansas at the Louis

The following is from the Louisville
Courier Journal of Wednesday morn

The grand commandery of Kansas
MAS headed by eleven mounted officers
Of it's grand commandery. No finer
body of men were in the parade
Every man was a six-footer and sat his
horse as if he were a part of it.
The horses. trappings and equip
m ents are the property of the grand
cOmmandery. On the breast OF each Of
the knights was pinned a great sun
flower. The grand commander was T.

mander, Thomas e. Bond: the grand
generalissimo. Charles Webb; the cap
tain general, John c. Postlethwaite.
Behind the mounted officers of the
grand commandery came Marshall's

A member of the Topeka delegation

THE Kansas CON mandery was third

knights were led by MarSnallS band
The band wore white trousers and their
red dress coats. The band and the com

CURTIS is SICK.
Congressman Suffering From
Heat and OYerWOrk.

Congressman Charles Curtis is at
home quite sick He was taken sud
denly i'll on the train while on his way
to the reunion at Baxter Springs,
where he was to speak to the old SOL
diers today
He was compelled to come home and
call a. physician, and is now under the
care of DR.. Mitchell.
The physician has informed the fam
lily that the cause of illness is over
work and the heat, and that in his
opinion Mr.. Curtis viii require careful
nursing and perfect quiet for a few
days. This is the best the doctor can
promise at present
Mr.. Curtis rode overland fifteen miles
on his way to Baxter Springs, and
complained of the heat. Change of
water during the drive is also instru-
mental in bringing on Mr.. Curtis sick
ness The attending physician, DR.. NJ
r. Mitchell. said this morning: Mr..
Curtis sickness is only temporary, and
if a much-needed rest is taken he will
soon be all right again
Less than a year ago Mr.. Curtis had
an attack of nervous prostra ton caused
by overwork. and at that time it was
feared his illness might result seri-

haps a quarter of a mile north of the
Soldier creek bridge along the line of
the Santa. F'e track. It is scarcely more
than 100 yards from the wagon road
and while it is IN the open it is not
near a house or any place where one
could easily hide and for this reason it
was necessary for the officers to be sta
toned some distance away. The post
designated is painted red and there is
a small excavation at its side where
the money was to have been deposited.
While it would have been necessary for
the man to go into the open to get the
money it would also be necessary for
the men who attempted to capture him
to work in the open
At this stage even if the right man
could be caught the only thing Of which
ne could be convicted would be sending
threatening letters through the United
States mails.
It is pretty safe to say that the man

Americas Richest Horse Race

New York. Aug. .30.-America' richest
horse race, the Futurity, is to be run

be worth $4,000 at least, and probably
more the value depending on the num-
ber of starters. W. c. Whitney won it
last year with Ballyho Bey and it is
conceded that he has a good chance to
capture it again this year. Many of
the Futurity candidates were sent for
the final trials over the Coney Island
Jockey clubs course early yesterday
morning, and a small sized army Of
spectators were on hand to time them.

he reached the house, and, taking him
into the room where the body was
lying, pointed TO it and exclaimed:
"There lies Queen Victoria and l am
the Son of God"
The startled undertaken saw at once
he had a mailman to deal with, and his
alarm increased when the maniac
locked the door and demanded that
Mitchell should take an oath that he
would properly perform the funeral
services, for which the lunatic said he
would give him a check for $1,000. In
order to humor the mailman and get
him to open the door the undertaken
agreed to all this, and the lock was
turned. Mitchell breathed freer, and
was about to depart when a sudden inn
pulse came over the mailman, and he
struck him a blow on the chest, follow

ing out of the house and made for his

and outside the grove in which the
dwelling is located. The maniac pur-

creased his lead. On reaching the
wagon he jumped in and ordered his
assistant to drive rapidly away. The

The prisoner replied 81 have moth.

The court said: Are YOU roady?"
Mir. Penny replied; YES"
Have you anything to say?" asked
Justice White.
Yes" replied the prisoner.
81 think he should be permitted to
make a statement in exculpation of
this act, if the court pleases,' said
Judge Titus.
The court replied That will de-
pend upon what his statement is.
Have you (speaking to Judge Titus)
anything to say in behalf of the pris-
oner?"
Il have nothing to say within the
definition of what your honor read,
replied the attorney but 1t seems TO
me- in order that the innocent should
not suffer by this defendants crime,
that the court should permit him to
exculpate at least his father, brother
and sisters
From the court: Certainly; If that
is the object of any statement he
wishes to make, proceed"
The prisoner then said: "There was
no one else but me. No one else told
me to do it, and no one aid me to do
it,
Judge Titus repeated 1t as follows,
owing to the prisoners feeble voice:
He says no one had anything 70 do
with the commission of his crime but
| himself; that his father and mother
and no one else had anything to do
with and knew nothing about It,"
The prisoner continued: 81 was not
told anything about the crime and
never thought about the murder un-
til couple of days before | commit
ted the crime
Judge Titus again repeated as fol-
lows; He never told any one about
the crime and never intended to com
nit it until couple of days before
its commission"
Then Justice White passed sentence
as follows: an taking the life of our
beloved president. you committed a
crime which shocked and outraged
the moral sense of the civilized world,
You have confessed that guilt and,
after learning all that at this time
can be learned from the facts and
circumstances of the case, twelve good
jurors have pronounced yon guilty,
and have found you guilty of murder
in the first degree. You have said,
