BOOST FOR TROUTMAN.
Lawrence Journal Says He Is q
Strong Candidate.

The Lawrence Journal gives James A.
Troutman's boom for governor the follow
ing boost:
James A. Troutman announced yester-
day that he will be a candidate for gov
ernor. Mr.. Troutman is a strong man and
a popular one as well. The people of Kan
sas have faith in his integrity and his
ability is unquestioned. He is one of the
strong men of Kansas, and as a public
officer and as private citizen, his life and
character are above reproach and criti-
cism. 1t has been claimed that his ac-
tivity in temperance matters would mill
tate against him in campaign. The
Journal takes stock in such idea.
Kansas wants at the head of the state
government man who is a practical tenn
perance man. And far his connec-
ton with the prohibitory law is concerned.
it would bring to him votes that another
man could not get, and would drive none
from him, for he is not crank, and he
would not plunge the state into strife He

he claims to be the result of a foundry
accident in Pueblo. His stories do not
connect, and the court was inclined to
think that he was a specimen of the
crafty hobo who burns his arm with
lunar caustic to secure sympathy for
begging purposes. He is hardly elegible
for the hospital, so he was turned over
to the chief to deal with as he saw
fit.
After the brief session of court, Judge
Lindsay and ex-Chief Stahl talked over
the situation with Otis Hungate, attor-
ney for some of the jointists. AS a proof
that there is no honor among jointists
the ex-chief told about the mad Scram-
BILE which occurred Tuesday when he
invited the victims of last summers
raids to call and claim their goods.
The Jail and basement were crowded
with the sellers of brew, and their
pumps, kegs, cases and fixtures were re-
turned to them as fast as possible, and
hauled away in express wagons.
Many of them crowded into the base
ment where the goods were being dis
tributed and it is evident that some of
them stole goods on which they had no
claim. Mr.. Stahl laid aside pump
which was marked with the name of a
prominent jointist, and upon looking
for it a few minutes later, failed to find
it. Two or three pumps were missing
when the deal was closed. Some of the
men who strutted about the station yes

VERY CLEVER RUSE.

BeRdle woman Alleged to Have
Feigned Suicide to Cover Elope-
ment.
Huron and the surrounding country
was badly torn up recently, by what
appeared at first to be accidental
death, and is now alleged to be the
~elopement of a prominent farmers
wife. Early one morning some farm
ers near the McEarthon ranch in Bea-
die county, found a b~adly-wrecrad
buggy on the bridge crossing the riv-
err. There vas every appearance that
the buggy, which belonged to Nc
Earthon, had been run away with and
wrecked on the bridge and that the
occupant had been thrown Over the
rail into the river and drowned. In
curry at the nome of McEarthon re-
vealed that Mrs. McEarthon had
driven the buggy out the day before.
and had not been seen since. Her hus-
band was in Chicago, and he was no.
titled by wire. The neighbors, includ-
ing a large number of prominent peo-
pie. formed a band of searchers and
spent the entire day in dragging the
river and searching for the body. A
considerable quantity of dynamite
was procured and exploded to bring
the body to the surface.
At last suspicious actions on the part
of Roy Underhill. a farm hand who
has been employed on the ranch, at
tracted attention, and he was closely
questioned. He gave confused answers.
and at last broke Down and confessed
that Mrs. McEarthon was not dead,
but had run away, and he had prom
ised to follow her as loon as the story
of her death was generally believed.
He stated that he had broken up the
buggy and had carried 1t and arranged
II on the bridge in such a way as to
convince passers-by that an accident
had occurred. He then drove Mrs.
McEarthron over to Iroquois with a
rig which he hired In Huron. The wo-
man took the train at Iroquois. The
arrangement was that he was to re-
turn and wait until the community
was thoroughly convinced of her death,
when he was TO follow her.
Underhill was arrested and is close
ly guarded in the jail.

SCARE ABOUT KING

LIES AND WILD ABSURDlTItS
WORK OF sCANDALMoNGERs PRO-
DUCEs RESULTS ALMOST
APPALLING.
PUBLIC SUSPICION AND ALARM
FAMOUS SPECIALIST TAKES Up HIS
RESIDENCE WITH THE
PUBLIC SUSPICION AND ALARM

London, June 24.-There has devei-
oped a perfect saturnalia of lies, half
truths and wild absurdities about King
Edward, his he alth, his recent life and
the prospects Of his wearing the crown
on Thursday.
Since it became known that DR.. LAX
Ing was summoned to Aldershot by
special train a week ago the imagina-
tions of a large number of scandal
nongers have been at work, with re-
suits almost appalling. The versions
Of the kings illness and its cause are
so numerous that it Is hopeless to at
tempt to trace them. Many of them
ere false on their face, while a few are
best described DIS malicious. 1t is GER
tainly to be regretted that II a not
been considered best to issue a plain
statement Of the kings condition,
signed by the
Attending Physicians.
Instead of this, an attempt has been
made TO create the impression that his
indisposition has been so trihing that
IL was no more worthy of note than an
ordinary cold. 1t is not alone untrust-
worthy rumors which aroused public
suspicion and alarm. A prominent
membe Of the kings household is re-
sponsible for the statement that the
first symptom of his majesty's illness
was a fainting fit, Two others have
admitted that his sickness was more
serious than the public has been led to
believe. 1t is regarded with some sig
n~iicance that DIR. Barlow, the famous
specialist, has taken up his residence
at Windsor castle, where he still re-
mains. 1T is said in explanation of
this hat it was simply decided to
leave no precaution unobserved for the
safeguarding of the King
In the three days trying ordeal at the
end of the week. 1t is further ad-
mitted that the king has become some-
what nervous about himself, a result
Of his everlasting his strength for the
past few weeks. As he has great con-
f1dence in DR.. Barlow, the latter has
remained at Windsor more as a COM
panion than a physician. There is not
much doubt, according to the present
information, hat the king will be
able to return t o Buckingham palace
to-day. 1t seems probable, also, that
some authoritative medical statement
will be issued in a day or two in order
to quiet the most alarming reports. 1t
is an unpleasant thing that the cold
Flooded business estimate of the kings
condition prevailing in the city yes
terday should have led to a demand
for 10 per cent premium for insurance
on his majesty's life for two months.
No Truth I'm Them.
Various wild rumors current in Lon-
DON last night concerning the health Of
King Edward were referred to Sir
Francis Knollys, private secretary to
the king. To these queries Sir Francis
has telegraphed the following from
Windsor castle: '"There is not one
word Of truth in these reports"

Crookston. Mimi, June "a. - ]. e.
Olson of Roseau has purchased a
steam automobile with a capacity for
twelve passengers, which will be
placed on the stage lire. of which Mr..
Olson is the manager, between Roseau
and Stephen. The automobile arrived
here yesterday from st. Paul, and will
be shipped Immediately to Stephan
and put into service at the earliest
possible moment. The machine will
take the place of the oid-style stagec
now being used on the route, and IL the
venture proves to be a success another
machine OF a similar style will be put
on. 1t is nov necessary to keep TWEEN
ty-five horses to haul the stages, and
Mr.. Olson thinks that the new ma
chimes will save him money and at the
same time give him much better SER
vice.
