a telephone rebuke to the board of health

the board. say. She also filed a complaint
against the State journal because the
health officers had not received a report
at the time the State Journal went to
press as to whether the sickness in her
family was chickenpox or smallpox, as
was stated in the State Journal Wednes-
day.
Mrs. Hadley says that the patient in her

CLAIMS HE DID 1T.
Committed Crime For Which
Two Others Were Hanged.

Philadelphia, Feb. 27.-Amos Stirling,
a young negro who was the accomplish
of Henry Ivory and Charles Perry in
the murder of Prof Roy Wilson White,
of the law department of the University
of Pennsylvania, on the night of May
10, 1900, was hanged today at the coun-
ty prison. The drop fell at 1907 O'Clock
Stirling made a confession to his
spiritual adviser, claiming the sole re-
spOnsibility for the murder of Prof.
White. He said he did not know either
Perry or Ivory and asserted that neither
of them was with him when the crime
was committed.
His statement is not credited by the
police authorities.
Prof. White was attacked by three
colOred men on a dark street in the
vicinity of the university. One of his
assailantS struck him on the head with
an iron bolt and after he had fallen to
the ground he was beaten to death.
Robbery was the motive for the crime.
Perry, Ivory and Stirling were arrested
several days later and the two first
named made confessions accusing Stir
ling of being the actual murderer. The
three men were convicted together and
Ivory and Perry were executed October
of last year. The condition of Stir
ing's health caused four postponements
of his execution.

REWARD GIRLS BRAVERY
Missouri Pacific Will Remember Chill
dren Who Saved Train.

Fort Scott, Feb. 27.-Superintendent
E. J. Ward, of the Missouri Pacific in
whose territory is the K. N. & ID. di-
vision, has taken an interest in the two
little girls. Sadie and Ida Workman n,
of Overlook who few weeks ago pre-
vented the X N. IL d. train bound for
this city from running on to destroyed
trestle and thus not only saving the
train but the lives of the crew and pas
sengers on board. The train was in
charge of Conductor f. A. Smith, of this
city and Mr. Smith took the matter of
rewarding the girls up with Mr. Ward.
He suggested that the company give
the girls and their family trip to the
St. Louis Worlds fair in recognition of
the presence of mind and bravery of the
children The company will probably
do at least this much. Mr.. Ward has in
quired into all of the facts in the case
and will doubtless take the matter up
with the company.
The girls are daughters of farmer
living near Overlook, on the K. N. &
D. On their way to school one morning
they discovered that a trestle support
ing the track had burned out during the
night, and that only the rails spanned
the ravine which was deep and which
the train usually approached at high
speed. One of the girls ran down the
track and one ran up the track to warn
the approaching trains if any there
might be. In this way the K. n. & D.
train, which was but short distance
away was stopped. Before the passen-
gers could take up collection for the
girls they had modestly disappeared

HEAVY IMPORTS.
United States Buying Steel in
Germany and England.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 27.-The Iron Trade
Review referring to the market condi-
| tions this week says:
The heavy import movement in steel
and further burst of activity in foun-
dry iron are the features of the IRON
market for the week. The buying of
steel in Germany and England now
promises to grow to very considerable
proportions, in spite of recent advances
abroad. The independent sheet manu-
facturers at their meeting in Pittsburg
last week decided to send a commission
err to England and Germany to buy
sheet bars, and he is now on his way.
The amount of the contracts as talked
of will be about 10000 tons, but it is be-
lieved larger tonnage will be nee1ed
deliveries extending over the next six
months. 1t is understood that the u. S.
Steel corpora ton has been a buyeI in a
small way 10000 to $4,000 tons having
been taken, with more under negotia-
ton. The steel corporation is also
buyer abroad of steel melting scrap, and
the importation of low phosphorus scrap
by open hearth plants is likely to reach
a round tonnage before the end of the
year. German steel has advanced "a to
IS since December and German billets
are now quoted $3.50, Pittsburg, while
$33 is asked for sheet bars.
1t is believed from 100000 to 200, 900
tons of foreign steel will be needed this
year to supplement- the domestic output.
Plants under construction and plans on
foot will give very. considerable in
crease in our open hearth capacity, but
only minor portion of 1t Will be avail
able this year. In the foundry iron
market the feeling that has been grow
ing for some weeks among consumers
gave evidence of added excitement in
the past week, and the business closed
has been very heavy. This has been
almost entirely for delivery in the sec
ond half of the year. Many buyers are
informed by the difficulty of getting
iron already ordered and the practical
impossibility of filing even carload lots
of foundry iron for delivery before July
1. They seem to feel that this condition
will be encountered in the second half,
though it is we'll understood that fur
mace output will be greater as time
passes, also that railroad troubles will
disappear to a large extent. A varia
ton of fully 81 a ton appears in current
transactions. Those producers who are
exerting themselves most to hold down
prices are evidently not taking all the
business offered since other sellers are
getting top prices from the same buy

GIVE HUGO'S GREAT PLAY.
Washburn Students Prove Their

The Washburn college chapel was
crowded Wednesday night, the occasion

Although the entertainment was free
to the public, the costuming and stage
settings indicated that no expense had
been spared to give faithful presenta-
ton of the drama. Credit is due to Miss
Emma May Mexican, who is the pro-
fessor of French at Washburn, and who
was in entire charge of the presentation
of the play
The play was given on the anniver-

w. NJ. Glenn of Tribune. who has been

THE governor is practically sure to go
to the eastern third of the state. said Mr..
Glenn. 1T is not reasonable to suppose
that the state convention would turn
around and nominate man for lieuten-
ant governor Immediately afterwards from
the extreme eastern tier of coun-
ties. On the other hand it will
GO to the western part of the
state. For that reason / believe that the
race is between Hanna and me / will
go into the state convention with more
Votes in the Seventh district than Hanna
will have in the Sixth, even if he has the
a good show of winning
