NIOpeka letter.
When Boston" Corbett. the slayer
Of John Wilkes Booth, escaped from
the Topeka insane asylum in 1888. he
was marked dead" on the records Of
the institution, and legally, II not lit
orally, passed out Of existence. The
conclusion on the part Of the asylum
officials that Corbett was dead was ac-
cepted by the public without question.
The newspapers commented briefly
upon the mysterious disappearance,
and Kansas speedily forgot the eccen-
trio character who wal the active in
strument in avenging the assassina-
ton OF Abraham Lincoln.
And now, after thirteen years, Cor
bett has been ~resurrected. For more
than four years past he has been a
travelling salesman for w. w. Gavitt
& Co, who conduct a proprietary med
icine concern in Topeka. Both his
employers and his guardian have in
recent times used every effort to in
duce Corbett to return to Kansas. He
has property interests in Cloud
ty, and the government yves him owe
1900 back pension, not a cent Of
which he will ever be able to draw
until the fact that he is alive is estab-
llshed by his own affidavit to that eff
feet. II has been represented to him
that his sanity will be easily estab-
lished, and his release from the asylum
legally secured. but Corbett is willy
and suspicious and refuses to set
foot on Kansas soil. He lives in and
travels through Oklahoma and Texas,
and for a long time had headquarters
at Enid, where he owns some property.
George A. Huron of Topeka is his
guardian. He wrote Huron some
weeks ago that he never expected to
return to Kansas and that the govern
ment was welcome to his pension
money.
Was Always Peculiar.
Corbett is now g. years old. He was
always peculiar. From the time he
enlisted in the army the trend Of his
mental idiosyncrasy was toward relig-
ious fanaticism. He was intensely re-
ligious and was always considered
dangerous by his neighbors in Cloud
county. Corbett never married and
up to the time he was sent to the
asylum lived alone in a shack on his
claim In Cloud county. He always
went armed and his shack was fortified
and equipped with every brand Of

trade He labored under the delusion

A Candid Witness.

Canning once exclaimed. "Saye me from the candid friendr In a~witness however. candor is esteemed q virtue. During the trial of a land case at Pariss Mo-, recently in which the value of the land was in dispute the trial judge asked an Irishman. *Mr. Curtis, if a stranger were to come to you and ask you how much the land in litigation Is worth. what would you tell him7" The witness turned his head and, with a smile upon his face and with a rich, pleasant brogue, replied, "Well, your honor. if a stranger were to ask me. I would say. Not cent less than 5000 but if friend were to ask me the same ueqstion Iwould say, Two thousand dollars is long price for it." The court and spectators laughed at the Hibernicism. and the witness was ex- cused as an honest man.

A Pertinent Inquiry.

One of my constituents. John s. Mc- Cune, cashier of the Bank of Laddcnia, brought up a subejct recently that has puzzled many bankers and so far re- mains unanswered. He says that every few weeks the local bankers are compelled to send to the subtreasury in St. Louis for silver money to supply the local demand. If as much as $500 is taken. the government pays the ex- press charges. In transacting the ordi- nary business paper currency Is used whenever it is possible and silver only when change is needed. The silver handed out never comes back to the bank. Only the paper money accumu- lates and has to be sent to St. Louis in settling balances. Tn conclusion he very pertinently asks. "What becomes of the silver?"

 It goes without saying that facility of speech and grace of diction have been long conceded to him even hE those who are not enamored of his po- litical theories. To see the word tap plause" appear bracketed In his ora tions Is to him an old experience. but to see the word daughter interejctedk into them is a brand new thing under the sun.
 Here are some samples. At MonteS rey. Cal.s he. said Inter alia:
