TEST OF KANSAS HONESTY.

A watch hanging by string to
the latch of Edmonds' jewerly store
in North Topeka attracted the atten-
ton of an early morning passer-by
Wednesday. 1t was only a little af
ter sun-up, and the jewelry store was
locked. KS
A man examined the watch, and
discovered that it appeared to be out of
fix in some way. 1t refused to tick.
What's the watch doing here?"
he called across the street to the
butcher, who was just sweeping out.
The butcher came across the street
and examined the valuable timepiece
hanging to the latch.
well, wouldn't that beat the
Dutch! - he exclaimed. "Some chap
must have left it here to be fixed. F."
Presently quite crowd gathered.
Everyone who happened along the
street stopped to look at the curious
spectacle of watch hanging by piece
of Irvine outside Of the door of jew
eIry store. almost before daylight.
When the owner of the jewelry
store arrived about on hour later he
was surprised to find the sidewalk in
front of his place crowded with
people.
What is the matter here?" he de-
manded as he pushed his way through
the crowd, With visions of burglaries
rising before his eyes.
Look here'' exclaimed several
people, pointing to the watch.
t Edmonds. detached the watch from
its string, opened it glanced at the
works, and said:
"Oh, yes, this is Bill Thompson $
watch. handspring broke.
Thompson goes to work at the
Santa Fe shops at o'clock, and he
couldn't wait for me to open mp, l
guess, saiu he was going to bring his
watch down for me to fix, and he
must have been in hurry for me to
get to work ON it. "
"Thompson's got more confidence
in the honesty of folks than have, "
moralized the butcher as he sauntered
back across the street to his shop. =

The mayor had his hands full TINS
morning, but he was not long dispoS-
ing of the business that came up for
his action and consideration. Steal
ing, lighting and plain DRINKS were
the charges, and one blind tiger case.
Strange, however, there was not
crap game case in the bunch. The
mayor had on his fighting clothes and
fined the blind tiger keeper fifty dol
lars and the costs, thus going up fiji
teen dollars. That is right, and II
he can make it heavier so much the
better. 1t would not be so bad II the
blind tiger keeper would keep better
brand, but it is stated that here OF
late their whiskey is actually not fit
to drink and those who indulge III 1t
are likely to do anything that IS a
violation of the law. Doubtless those
convicted this morning of stealing
can attribute their downfall to the
stuff that was dished ont to them at
these joins.

MAN MURDERED
JOHN CROSS WAS SHOT DOWN LIKE A
DOG BY
A Man Named Stating at Bond Oyer
twenty-five Cents.

Sunday evening a very unfortunate
affair occurred at Bond on the Gulf
and Ship Island railroad just beyond
the county line Of Perry. 1t was one
of those affairs in which great deal
whiskey figured and which was the
sole cause of the tragedy.
Some time during the day John
Cross and a man named Sailing had
some hot words over some trivial
affair Thisiw however, settled
for the time being, but later in the
evening and while they were freely
indulging in drink the difficulty was
renewed when Stalling pulled his
pistol and shot Gross dead, shooting
him five times. 1t is learned,
however. that the latter difficulty did
not grow out of the first, but that the
men had become so friendly that they
concluded to play game of craps and
it was the dispute over twenty-five
cents that precipitated the shooting.
AS soon as Sailing found that he
had killed Cross he put his pistol into
his pocket and left, since which time
nothing has been heard of him.
Both men were from Alabama and
were working at one of the saw mills.
But little of them is known by
the people of Bond, but it is not
believed they had families.
The officers of Harrison county are
making every effort to capture Stall
ling.

WHITE RESIGNED
Ambassador to Germany Tired Of
Public Life. -.
He WAS APPOINTED IN 1897
Expected Mr.. White Would Take the
Step When SEVENTEEN Birthday Was
Reached - Several Mentioned as
Possible Successors.

Berlin, Aug. 6.-Ambassador White
mailed his resignation to the United
States several days ago. 1t is to take
effect early in November.
The date set by the ambassador for
his resignation to go into effect was
Nov. Z. He is now at Homburg, where
he is taking the waters and where he
will probably remain till the end OF
the month.
There is much gossip in Berlin con.
corning Mr.. Whites probable success
sor, and one circumstantial story is
that the president intends to transfer
Ambassador Tower from st. Peters
burg to Berlin; Minister Storer from
Spain to be ambassador to Russia, and
to appoint Henry White, now secre-
tary of embassy at London, as minis
ter to Spain. Mr.. Tower, who has been
dissatisfied with st. Petersburg, ex-
pressed months ago wish to be trans
ferred to some other equally desirable
post, preferably Berlin.
Andrew D. White was appointed am
bassador to Germany April l, 1897. In
March last 1t was announced that he
contemplated resigning because OF Ill
health.
No information has been received at
the state department indicating that
Ambassador White had resigned, but
the announcement was not unexpect
ed, as a report was current some time
ago that he would retire from public
life upon reaching his SEVENTEEN
birthday. Several gentlemen in the
diplomatic service have been men
toned in connection with the Berlin
embassy should Ambassador White re
tire, the most prominent being DR.
David Jayne Hill, now first assistant
secretary Of state, and Hon. Bellamy
Storer, at present minister to Spain.
