LABOR DAY PARADE
It viii Not Interfere With Travel to
Fafr.

It VIII Not Interfere With Travel to
Fair.
The coming, Labor Day parade will show,
one great Improvement over that of last
year-there Will be no interferenoes with
travel to the state fair. Last years pa
rade delayed the Como cars for almost
two hours and caused no end of incon-
venince to people bound for the fair.
Mayors Secretary Tom Brown has
evolved a scheme to obviate- all this in
the coming parade, and has taken the
matter up with the Labor Day committee
and obtained their sanction for It. Under
his plan the parade will occupy the whole
width OF Nicollet going down town, and
only the south half OF Hennepin on the
countermarch. This Will give the street
car company the unrestricted use Of its
tracks on the Como avenue line for state
fair service. - i = -

MAILS TO DEFRAU0.
Charge Against a Woman Ar
rested at LeavenW0rth.

Leavenwcrth Kas., Dec. 5.-Mary
Lindenberg. of Falls City, Neb., was
arrested in Leavenworth by Deputy
United States Marshal McGrath, of To-
peka. on the charge of using the United
States mails to defraud. The case is one
OF the most interesting of the kind that
has ever come before the notice of the
United States courts in Kansas. Some
time ago c. NJ. Conrad. a carpenter, who
works at Fort Leavenwortb and boards
at the brunswick hotel in this city, ad-
vertised in the newspapers for wife.
and he received a response from Mary
Lindenberg. In her letter to Conrad sne
said that she was willing to marry, pro-
viding she could find suitable husband.
and she said that she would be glad to
come to LeaVenWOrth to see Mr. Conrad
She stated in her letter that she was
poor and could not come unless money
was forwarded to her with which she
could purchase a ticket. Mr.. Conrad
promptly forwarded the money. and q
few days ago the woman arrived in the
city. NJ Conrad met her at the depot
and escorted her to one of the best
hotels. They talked matters over and
the woman said she was satisfied with
Conrad. and would marry him in short
time. Conrad seemed well pleased with
the woman, and he lavished money on
her freely. As soon as Conrad had
spent most of his ready cash and the
woman saw that she could not expect
much more. she informed Conrad that
she was only joking about marrying him
as she had a husband in Nebraska and
could not marry again if she wanted to.
Conrad Immediately looked up the
United States authorities and had a
complaint issued charging the woman
with having used the mails to defraud.
Marshal McGrath arrested Mrs. Linden
berg Thursday She was arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner w. H
Bond, who set her examination for De-
cember s. She was released on a cash
bond for 800, which was furnished by a
woman with whom Mrs. Lindenberg is
stopping.

Leavenworth. Kan, Dec. 5.-Frank P.
FitzWilliam, city attorney of Leaven-
worth, has fallen heir. to a fortune esti-
mated at over 100000. through the death
of his uncle Richard FitzWflram of Pitt

FitzWilliam often visited his uncle in
Pennsylvania. and last summer he spent
over month with him in Pittsburg- The
uncle is said to have left his entire estate
to his Leavenworth nephew. Mr.. FitzWil-
liam could not be seen. as he left Leaven-
worth suddenly, but it is said by some of
his friends here that he will probably re-
main permanently in Pittsburg in order to
look after the extensive interests left by
his uncle Richard FitzWilliam was one
of Pittsburg's leading citizens.

w. R. Johnston Says Navaioes Are
Hard to Convert.

w R. Johnston. formerly general secre-
tary of the Topeka city Y NJ C. A and
for a number of years a resideat OF this
state but now Industrial missionary for
the Navajo Indians, passed through To-
peka today on his way to Philadelphia.
Mr.. Johnston was accompanied by two
prominent members of that nomadic tribe.
They are going to Philadelphia to { t.
tend a meeting of the. Indian Rights IS
sociation, an organization which has ex-
listed for years for the purpose of seeing
that the aborigines all over the country
get justice at the hands of the whites
At that gathering which opens next week
1t Is likely that some move will be made
to help the Navajoes in securing water
for the territory which they occupy.
within recent years. said Mr.. Johnston.
the Navajo TRIBE has suffered greatly
on account of drouth. Last year the sheep
clip was very short do not believe ex-
ceeding on an average of more than 8
pounds to the head. And inasmuch as the
traders pay but cents a pound you can
see that they did not make much from
that source, although that is the principal
means of their subsistence" Mr.. Johnston
says that the two men with him have
each about 200 head of sheep. They have
been in contact with him for some time
but neither speaks English.
In his discussion of the religious work
among the Navajoes Mr.. Johnston said :
while We have been doing work among
them for six years. still we haven't a
single person in the tribe that we could
put our hand upon and feel that he could
be relied upon as being a Christian. There
are good many of them admit that the
religion is all right, but they seem to
take to 1t very slowly. However I will
say that We do not feel discouraged. They
are a proud people and when went
there l should think fully so per cent of
them when approached individually about
a religious life, asked, Well. who is this
man Jesus Christ But in other countries
missionaries have struggled on for twenty
years without getting a single convert.
We labor with them not only mission
aries for Christianity, but help them in
material ways. We assist them in their
regular work such as the digging of canals
and the like of that. They are a thrifty
people and would be prosperous if tNey
had an opportunity
Mr.. Johnston's mission is located in the
western part of the reservation. 46 miles
northwest of Flagstaff. Ariz He and his
wards came in Thursday night over the
Santa Fe and expected to leave this even

wEIGHTMAN'S NEW STORE.
He Christens 1t "Red Cross Phar-
macy"

One of the cleanest business institu-
tions which has been opened up within
the city lately is the drug store in the
new Smith building. northwest corner
of Ninth street and Kansas avenue. by
Matt Weightman. Mr. Weightman only
lately has moved into the first floor, Oc-
cupying a space 80 by % feet, and has
not completed the improvements which
he has planned. But already the store
which he has started there is attract
ing sufficient attention to warrant big
trade when everything is finished.
For the last ten years Mr.. Weightman
has been doing business in this same
block, but when he moved into the new
quarters he had his old stock replenish-
ed and has undertaken to make his
house frst-class one of it's kind. The
room has been papered and decorated in
an attractive manner The fixtures are
new, appliances for the manufacture of
pills and tablets have been bought and
the double check system of handling
prescriptions whereby there will be no
possible error, has been inaugurated. For
the manufacture of medicines and for
conducting his pharmac ceutical work Mr..
Weightman has had room in the base
ment of the building fitted up. This
will do away with offensive odors in the
store proper, and will leave the place
in a condition for the best class of Gus
toners to be accommodated properly.
Mr.. Weightman has named his new
institution the Red Cross Pharmacy.
ana lne Red cross PharmacY VIII carry
not only full line of drugs. but in ad-
dition there is a stock of fancy candies,
hot soda, cigars and news. These are
all of the very best class. Further. he
has in stock perfumery, hair and tooth
brushes, and face powders.
Mr.. Weightman is a graduate of the
school of pharmacy of the University of
Michigan, and the clerk which he en-
ploys has a diploma from the same de-
partment in the University of Kansas.
He has fourteen years drug expert
ence and is qualified to meet the de-

William Markowick, an engineer en-
ployed before the strike by the Della

ness was on the stand when adjourn
ment was taken yesterday He struck
when the steam men were called out and
was refused his place when the strike
was over because it had been filed NJ
Warren said the witness should not be
heard. His place had been filled because
he voluntarily left it. and therefore the
company was not guilty of blacklisting
men. Harry Reynolds for the Peoples

concern he represented promised men

felt it was bound to protect such men,
