speculation in New York suburban
property. Already a number of real
estate companies, many of them CT
doubtful origin and questionable char
acter, are preparing to organize to
reap a rich harvest from the thought
less. Spectator advise. my readers to
beware of these, and not to buy any
thing at haphazard. Real estate prop
critics that viii appreciate to the great
est degree are those which will be
brought nearest in time, by the pro-
posed new rapid transit railways and
tunnels, to the heart of New York
City. Within few years marvellous
advances will be made in this direction.
The resident in suburbs that are now
farm lands ten and fifteen miles distant
from the center of New York, will be
within twenty minutes of that center
by rail. and at 5-cent fare. The mo-
ment this great system of improve
ments is completed a vast tide will flow
from the overcrowded tenements of
New York to homes in the suburbs.
Every new dwelling erected in the
suburbs means added value to the adj
Joining lots and in a short space of
time a single lot will be worth as much
as an entire acre is now. With the in
creasing population and wealth great
cities like New York Will furnish the
grandest opportunities for speculative
investment that the world has ever
seen.
Taking advantage of this remarkable
situation, and of the prevalent craze
for speculation, we will see, in the sur
rent year, no doubt, all sorts of Wild
cat land schemes, ostensibly emanating
from the Greater New York. l caution
my readers now against having. any
thing TO do with these. Deal only with
those that are of highest repute. 1t is
entirely safe to speculate in real estate.
in something which you can see, which
is above ground, which has value,
and which can never be stolen or
taken away from you; but buy only
that which you know exists and that
which has some real value at present
and a much greater value in the future.
1t may be easy to cover up and falsify
the facts regarding a mining PROPOSE
ton far off in the Rocky mountains,
but it is not so easy to fool any one
regarding real estate values in a great
city like New York My readers should
have no difficulty in ascertaining the
facts. If they are deceived it will be
their own fault, for New York City is
like a book--open to the world.

to learn from Palma that the children

KENT is LOCATED.
He is Beyond Reach and Bonds
men Will Be Sued.

F. P. Cochran, of Cottonwood Falls.
and attorney for the Odd Fellows grand
lodge of Kansas, is in Topeka today to
file suit against the National Surety
company of New York, the bonding
company in which the defaulting grand
secretary of the order, D. w. Kent was
bonded, for the collection of the amount
of the bond.
Mr.. Cochran has received information
that locates the defaulting secretary in
Costa Rica. Ed Curry, who was con-
nected with F. o. Popenoe'S mine, the
BELLA Vista" in Costa Rica, stated yes
terday that he had seen Kent near the
BELLA Vista property.
Kent was short about So. 900 in his ac-
counts when he made his disappearance.
He is now tryin to retrieve his fortune
by prospecting for gold in Costa Rica
where he is safe from pursuit, because
of a lack of a treaty between that coun-
try and the United States whereby ex-
tradition papers might be served upon
him
The National Surety company will
undoubtedly be forced to pay up the
So 900 bond, and in addition to this 81, 900
has been secured by garnishment pro-
ceedings against d. w. Kent's brother
of Bloomington, ILL.,, so the loss will be
reduced to about $4,000. The $1,000 was
secured from T. ]. Kent as final pay
ment for ten horses which d. w. Kent
sold to his brother before his departure.

ED M'KEEVER A VICTIM.
Topeka Attorney Said to Have
Accepted Worthless Checks.

Kansas City, Feb. IN. D. Parker of
Ottawa, who is charged with using the
mails to defraud Ito big wholesale and
retail firms in the United States, will
have to furnish $1,000 additional bond.
United States Commissioner E. s. Ear
hart, of Kansas City, Kan, decided on
this after he had received numerous let
tiers telling of the queer dealings of the
Ottawa man in numerous instances,
which the postoffice inspectors have not
yet learned of. Parker's bond was fix
ed originally at $1,000. Yesterday he
was notified that this would be in
creased 81, 900. He asked until Saturday
to furnish the surety, and the commits
sioner granted the time asked for.
Ever since the publication of the
story in connection with Parker'S ar
rest" said Earhart, Il have been re-
ceiving letters and telephone calls from
alleged victims of the Ottawa man. Ed
McKeever of Topeka, who is now assist
ant United States district attorney, told
me that he had one of Parker's checks.
which cost him $40" The Pitcher Cloth
ing company of Kansas City, Mo, and
the C F. Wilmer Furniture company
are two alleged victims who have just
reported their losses to the commission
erS. Besides these, Earhart says there
is another man in Kansas City, Kan,
who says that he lost 5000 by dealing
with Parker. In this city it is charged
that Parker cashed numerous checks.

Third district, is in Topeka today argu-
IS a case before the supreme court. 1t

attorney.
This fact-that he is representing the

The Cherryvale Clarion is fighting him
on account of his connection with the
water company and is supporting o. +.

Il will be the Republican candidate of
the Third district all right" said Mr..
Wilson today. Il will win in my own
county and will get the support of La

nomination.
THE editor of the Clarion, who is fight
ing me, is a Democrat and has no stand

SETTLERS GIVE UP.
Fort Hays Trouble Will Not Be
Adjusted.

Attorney General GODDARD today re-
ceived a telegram from !. T. Purcell,
register of the Wa-Keeney land office,
announcing that the people who have
have filed Withdrawals of their motion
for a review of the decision of the in
terror department, rendered October,
1901.
Mr.. GODDARD believes this settles def
nitely all question as to the title to the
Fort Hays reservation. He thinks the
State Agricultural college and the State
Normal school will not be troubled any
more by the claims of settlers, as they
have signed ACCOMPLISHMENTS of their
claims to the land in consideration of
the compromise effected by the regents
of the two schools a few weeks ago.

Minister Who MysteriousIy Dis
appeared From New York
In the Summer of 1896 Has
Been Heard From.
WRITES TO RELATIVES
Detectives Had Searched This
Country and Europe.
Second Time That He Has Gone
Away Without Notice.

New York, Feb. AFTER five years
absence, Rev. Edward A. Waldo, who
formerly was connected with the uni
versity settlements society of this city,
has been heard from at San Francisco.
Although detectives have searched this
country and Europe DR.. Waldo himself,
after the long silence following his mys-
FERROUS disappearance from New York
in the summer of 1896, first sent word to
his family, who had long ago given him
up as dead, and his brother, George B.
Waldo, an artist of this city, has start
ed for San Francisco.
1t was to his aged father, Simos S.
Waldo, one of the leading business men
of New Haven, Conn, that the missing
minister sent the letter Realizing their
probable fears of a joke he had taken
the precaution to have the letter coun-
tersigned by a San Francisco minister
with whom he is temporarily staying.
. DR.. Waldo left the headquarters of
the New York university settlement So
ciety on the afternoon of July 13, 1896,
and between there and his home he dis
appeared. Detectives traced him as far
as a Mississippi river town, where he
was supposed to have boarded a boat
for New Orleans, but there the clew
ended
once before Dr. Waldo had a similar
experience. He labored in Chicago be-
fore coming to this city and while doing
mission work there he disappeared. He
had been raising a large fund for the
purpose of providing provisions for the
poor of Chicago. Some weeks later DR..
Waldo was found wandering aimlessly
1t was three weeks before he could tell
his name.

MORE MILLER TROUBLE
Makes Recommendation For
Postmaster at Lyndon.

Congressman Miller's actions with
reference to his postoffice appointments
continue to make him trouble Yester-
day word was received at Lyndon that
he had recommended John w. keenan,
for reappointmenu as postmaster, and
there is a great deal of dissatisfaction
in Lyndon in consequence. This recon-
mendation a few months ago would not
have made so much difference, but Mil
ler'S attempt to curry favor by sencour-
aging others in the race has made him
trouble. j. H. Buckman and George
Weber became candidates against
keenan, and lined up their friends for
then, and now they do not like his ac-
ton in turning them down after they
were encouraged to make a fight for
the place. This is another straw that
is helping to defeat Miller for renomin-
alton. 1t will do much towards turning
at least part of the Usage county del
egation against him.
The Republican county central COM
mittee of Lyon county met yesterday
afternoon and fixed the date for the
county convention to meet on March
g. Miller's interests were championed
by James Evans, his postoffice ap-
pointee at Hartford, and the opposi-
ton by I. Z. Lambert. Delegates to
the state convention will be elected at
the same time as those to the congress
Sional convention.

reached the house the light was out and
a good fire was burning. The stove had
been recently filed with coal. The chill
dren were in bed. One of them said
papa has killed mamma! The woman
had been dead since IL or IL o'clock &C
cording to Kay's story. He said that he
had not killed his wife and that they
had never had any trouble. He SAID
they had been to lodge together. A
man by the name of Lyle cut him
down. He was at the city Jail when l
saw him. DIR. Bowen was called
to look after Kay but it was not neces-
sary to use any restoratives He did not
regain consciousness until this morning
about 6 o'clock. He had been hanging
about Is minutes when he was cut
down. If he had used a smaller rope ne
would have been dead when found but
the rope he used was so large that 1t did
not choke him. The rope allowed him
to hang five feet from where It was tled
and ordinarily the fall would kill a man
by breaking his neck.

Nothing Now in Way of Purchase OF
Steiger's Island.

Governor Stanley and Assistant At
torney General Hamilton yesterday gave
their final approval to the purchase OF
Steiger's island, adjoining the Kansas
penitentiary in the Missouri river. for
coal mining purposes. The state Will
purchase 500 acres at SIS an acre. The
purchase cannot be entirely consum-
mated until the Legislature makes an
appropriation for it, but the directors
entered into a contract with the owners
of the island to purchase it when the
legislature makes the appropriation.
Governor Stanley says it makes no
difference to the state whether the
channel of the river changes or not,
because all the state wants is the coaI
which underlies the land.

FIRE BELOW DECK.
Pacific Liner Is Compelled to Return
to Port.

Portland, Ore, Feb. THE Portland
& Asiatic, Steamship cornpany's liner
Indevalle, which sailed from Portland
Wednesday with a 100000 cargo, is back
in the harbor with her matches battened
down and decks piping hot, the result
of a smouldering fire which started yes
terday. From present indications the
ship has suffered but little damage, but
the loss on the cargo will probably be
quite heavy.
When the fire was discovered steam
was turned into the hold both forward
and aft and everything battened down
tight A chemical engine from the Port
land fire department has been placed on
board the Indevalle and it is expected
that the fire will be under control by
morning. The tween" decks of No. 2
hatch, where the fire is smouldering,
contains 725 bales of cotton, and 1900
sacks of flour. Underneath this in the
same hold are $4,000 sacks of flour and
400 bales of cotton.
