how big the elephants were. He
could have told just what the boss"

Fifth avenue. and just how the wag-

e : Arrival of the Big show.
Early this morning the first train
of the Sells-Forepaugh show arrived
from Freeport over the Stu Paul
road. Long cars loaded down with
canvas wagons, pole wagons. animal
cages and cook wagons. attached to
it were sleeping cars for the canvas
men. On the trains arrival one sees
the boss canvasman swing easily
off the car and start on swinging
trot for the circus grounds. A few
minutes inspection tells him just
where the tents should be pitched,
and he turns to the ready assistant
and in a few orders designates just
where the three rings arc to be plac-
ed, where the center poles are to
stand and where the side shows are
going to be.
Already the wagons have begun to
arrive First those with stakes and
poles for the siding. Men are busy in
an instant, sledge in hand, driving
them firmly into the earth.
Then follows the canvas. Long
rows of men are busily engaged in
joining many strips OF this useful ar
ticle together, while others are un-
rolling the sidings and sorting the
center poles. All is busy and excite
ment, but how ORDERLY

Meantime the cook wagons have to
be hauled to the grounds and fires

morning meal, and by the time the
canvas is ready and the center poles
are in position to hoist, breakfast is
ready. A rough and ready breakfast,
but hearty. Coffee steaming hot
from clean kettles in clean cups,
bread and doughnuts is the menu<a
hasty bite just to stand off hunger
until the dinner later.

St Louis Nov 26.-The case of Will

spondent of this city, who was arrested
yesterday on warrant charging him
with being a fugitive from justice, came
yp for hearing in the court of criminal
correction today and was, but mutual
consent, postponed to Dec. 15 Dra-
per's offense was the authorship of an
alleged libelous article concerning an
Indian by the name of White Buffalo, of
Oklahoma territory, published in the
Philadelphia North American last July.
The article was written at Wichita,
Kas., and stated that White Buffalo had
been sent to the government school for
Indians at Carlisle, Pa, where he was
educated, and that he had returned TO
his tribe imbued with a deep hatred Tor
the white race; had returned to his

awhile bound her to a pony and when
found she was dead; that he then met
Annie Dennis, and after a short court

Buffalo then met Maud Ellis and in a
short time she was found with a knife
in her heart. The article went on to

A Mcpherson, kas., Breach Of Promise
Case That's One Of Several.

Mcpherson, Kas.. Nov. 26.-Papers
were filed in the district court yester-
day morning by Mrs. Rcesner for $4,000
damages against Nels Olsen, a wealthy
bachelor farmer of Marquette, Kas., for
breach of promise. Mrs. Roesnsr is the
divorced wife of Richard Roesner. an
other farmer living near Marquette, re-
puted to be worth $4,000. On the sepa-
ration of Roesner and his wifs about
two years ago Roesner brought suit
against James F. Darrah for $4,000 for
the alienation of his wife's affections
and subsequently for divorce from his
wife. The divorce being obtained,
Roesner sought another wife and i'm
ported one from Germany, a Mrs.
Schwerdtfeger, under the promise of
marriage upon her arrival. Roesnel-
was disappointed in the new candidate
to share his home and broke off nego-
tiations. whereupon Mrs. Schwerdtfe-
ger brought suit for damages against
Roesner in the su moi $4,000. Judg-
ment was obtained for $1,000. Roes-
ner's suit against Darrah is now in the

BOUND TO PROSECUTE DRAPER.
Philadelphia Paper to Punish Kansas
Correspondent.


ST. Louis, Nov. 26.-W. r. Draper, a
newspaper man from Kansas, who has
been working on morning paper here
for several weeks, was arrested last
night on a charge of being fugitive
from justice.
Draper is alleged to have written and
mailed to the North American an arti-
Gle charging White Buffalo, Cheyenne
Indian, with being a renegade and hav-
ing committed three murders, to which
he confessed after leaving the Carlisle
school eighteen years ago. The article,
which was publiushed as a color page
in the Sunday North American. attract
ed the attention of Col. Pratt, superin-
tendent of the Carlisle Indian school,
who laid the facts before the newspa-
per, and ample reparation was done to
White Buffalo and the school in the coli
umns of the paper
But the North American proposes to
prosecute Draper on the charge of hav-
ing criminally libeled White Buffalo by
writing and mailing the article. The
first step will be to force the return of
Draper to Kansas, where proceedings
have been Instituted. Draper's defense
is that he thought the story was true:
that he copied it from an Oklahoma
paper and 'faked' the picture he sent
as a portrait of White Buffalo.

or so the imports We're identified with
the holiday trade. There has, however,
been a decided falling off in this class
of goods in the latest arrivals, as the
wholesale holiday preparations have
been made. This class of freight has
been supplemented by manufactured
goods, especially metal work, such as
light machinery. The Interpretation
placed upon the large imports of this
character in the continental shipping
trade is that American manufacturers
are loaded with orders SO far ahead
that buyers are compelled to import
the manufactured articles if they are
in need of them, promptly. The rela-
tive dullness in the British lines is ex-
planned in shipping circles as the re-
suit of too much British tonnage for
the demand.

100000. There has been, however, in
creased revenue from taxes laid on
distilled spirits and other objects not
affected by the war revenue lgislation.
Th receipts of the bureau for the
fiscal year ended June so, 1901. were
$306, ,669, and for the year ended
June 80. 1902. s271,s679 $50. Under the
various acts of congress the amount re-
funded and rebated during the year was
$S,74S,511. In addition to this an abate-
ment of taxes amounting to $4,14,6Sl
was allowed. In 1901 the total produc-
ton of spirits was 2s,56S2O1 gallons,
and in 1902, 1872 2S43,SO2. In 1901, 1O0,-
100000 gallons of tax-paid spirits were
withdrawn, and in 1902. 104,000,000. 1t
is estimated that the receipts from all
sources of internal revnue for the cur
rent fiscal year 1903 will aggregate
$220.000, 600.
During the year the tax was paid on
$123,f33.S5s pounds of oleomargarine.
The report shows that during the
year the revenue agents seized and de-
stroyed 1,094 Illicit stills and arrested
1.0s6 persons for violations of the rev.
enue laws.

Famous American Dies of Heart Fail.
ure in New York.


Hot Spring. Va, Nov. 26.LThomas p.
Ochiltree died here at ] o'clock yestar-
day afternoon of heart trouble. He had
been in a sinking condition since yes
terday morning and it was surprise
to his physician, DR.. F. w. Chaplin, as
well as to others, that he lived until
today. He was conscious this morning
but soon grew much worse and lost
consciousness again. He died without
pain, Arrangements for his funeral
will be made by friends in New York
Thomas P. Ochiltree, colonel by birth,
warrior, statesman. journalist, diplo-
mat, promoter, bon vivant, raconteur
and friend of the rich, was as Well
known in England and on the conti-
nent as he was in Washington, New
York. Chicago, and in Texas, his birth
place.
There are several explanations as to
how Tom Ochiltree attained
fame, one, generally accredited
being that Washington COR
respondent wagered with a friend
that he could make any member of con-
gress known from one end of the coun
try to the other within year. ochil-
tree was then member of the house
of representatives from Texas. The
correspondent picked out Ochiltree, red
headed, good story teller, and fond
of notoriety, as his protege. Then he
began to send to his paper good stories
and it was not long before Ochiltree
became parsonage to be quoted
Ochiltree, however, did much to keep
himself in the public eye. Particula,
never to divulge his age, it was said
that he was born in Nacogdoches par
Iish, Tex. in 1910. He was a son of
Judge William B. Ochiltree, a distin-
guished lawyer and one Of the foun-
ders of the Texas republic. When he
was 15 years old he volunteered as a
private In the Texas rangers.
President Grant had some regard for
the big Texan, and in his first term
made him a United States marshal of
Texas. He soon tired of the work and
became proprietor and editor of the
Houston Telegraph. He went to New
York with a letter of introduction from
Gen. Richard Taylor. one of the leading
southern turfmen "befoh the wah," to
August Belmont Thru Mr.. Belmont
Ochiltree was introduced to many pro-
minent men in New York.
Col Ochiltree was constant follower
Of the racetrack. In recent years Col
Ochiltree spent much of his time
around the big New York hotels.
One story Of the Ochiltree collection
was: He began practicing law with
his father. One day while his father
was away he had this sign posted over
his fathers law office:
