sands OF Dollars.

st. Louis, Sept. 1O.-The search for
nine indicted members of the al
legged house of delegates Doodle COM
bine, who have thus far eluded the
police and deputy sheriffs, has be-
come the principal business of both
classes of officers. The homes and
accustomed haunts of Edmund
Bersch, Julius Lehman, Charles T.
Kelly, Louis Decker, kid Sheridan,
Charles j. Denny and Emil Hartman
were watched by policemen all night
and these watchers were relieved
this morning by other policemen and
deputy sheriffs. Tamblyn is in
Cleveland, o., and Adolph MADEIRA is
III Colorado. The places of egress
from the city have been guarded,
and bridges, ferries, and street car
termini are being watched closely.
1t develops that an oath was adj
ninistered to each of the 10 members
of the combine whose identity was
disclosed by the confession of J. K.
Murren. A copy of the oath has been
given to Circuit Attorney Folk and
the grand jury. 1t is as follows:
81 do solemnly swear before the AL
migty God that in associating my
self and becoming member of this
combine will vote and act with this
combine whenever and wherever [
may be SO ordered to do so. And I
further solemnIy swear that 1 will
not > at any place or time, reveal the
fact that there is a combine, and
that I will not communicate to any
person or persons anything that may
take place at any meeting of the
combine. And 1 do solemnly agree
that, in case I should reveal the fact
that any person in this combine has
received money, 1 hereby permit and
authorize other members of this com
bine to take the forfeit of my life
in such manner as they may deem
proper, and that my throat may be
cut, my tongue torn out and my
body cast into the Mississippi river"

RANDALL's BODY FOUND.
After "a Days the Mystery Surrounding the
Disappearance OF the Kansas City
Druggist Is Solved.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 1O.-After
81 days of fruitless search for George
S. Randall, the druggist who owned
a drug store at 3249 Troost avenue,
and whose home was at 261S East
Thirty-frst street, his body was
found yesterday afternoon at three
o'clock in a dense weed patch on
Wabash avenue between Thirty-sec-
ond and Thirty-third streets by Fred
Ewing, street sprinkler in the en1-
ploy of the park board. Ewing had
stopped his team and when he had
gone into the weeds for a distance
of about 80 feet he came upon the
body of Randall which lay upon the
left side and in such a bad state of
decomposition that the flesh had
fallen from the bones and the joints
had fallen apart. While Mrs. RAM
dali and some of her friends believe
he was murdered the Indications all
point to suicide. The position in
which the body lay when found in
dicates that the act of suicide, if,
suicide it was, was planned with de-
liberation. His gold wa tch was in his
pocket and apparently his money,
$56.O5, had not been disturbed.

Members of the Kansas Worlds
Fair commission visited St. Louis
Wednesday to consult with the di-
recors regarding a site. Director
of Works Taylor stated that no site
for any state building had been f.
nally decided upon, and that it would
be impossible to assign any state q
definite site before the allotment GER
emonies, September 30. Seven months
ago the Kansas commissioners Wis
tied St. Louis and selected an open
space of ground on a hill just east
of the site of the art palace, and I'M
derstood that they were to be al
lowed to erect there the state build
ing of Kansas on this site. Wednes-
day they inspected the wooded space
near the southeast entrance to the
grounds, where the group of state
buildings will be located. They
seemed pleased with the new site, and
stated that the only objection to it
was that it's distance from the main
picture of the exposition tended, in
measure, to isolate the state build
ings. Kansas was the first state to
make an appropriation for the worlds
