HE WAS JOHN LEHR.
Body ofMan Found at Parsons Iden-
tilted as M. z. & T. Fireman.

Parsons, Oct. 1.-The body of John
Lehr, a well known NJ. K. & T. fireman,
was found in the fair grounds last Sat
urday afternoon The body was first
supposed to be that of M M Jacobs,
and both Coroner Smith and County At
torney Hyatt were undecided as to the
identity of the man until 11:30 o'clock
Saturday night.
From the testimony introduced at the
coroner's inquest yesterday afternoon,
chain of circumstantial evidence was es-
tablished from the time Lehr arrived in
Parsons from his run on the Joplin
branch of the M. K. & T. until his un-
timely end at the fair grounds.
The testimony introduced seems to
show that Lehr either on Tuesday or
Wednesday, September % or "a after
finishing his run went to the ST. Clair
restaurant on Johnson avenue for lunch
He had a talk with the proprietor, who
asked him if he was going out on his
run, and was informed that he Gehr)
didn't care whether he went out or not.
st. Clair advised him to go out on his
run, and Lehr left the restaurant From
the ST Clair restaurant Lehr was traced
to Doughman & Rusts' hardware store.
where he purchased the revolver with
which he is supposed to have taken his
own life.

SHAW EXPLAINS.
Endeavors to Make Plain the Import
of Recent Action.

New York. Oct. 1-Secretary Shaw
has given out the following statement:
THE department is in receipt of a
..<rge number of requests from various
banks in the country. clearly showing
hat the statement given out last night
was misunderstood or rather that 1t
was not carefully read. That there may
be no misunderstanding the following
statement is made.
mo new deposits viii be made on any
security othSr than government bonds
so long as government bonds can be
secured. For the present banks seem to
be able to obtain. frequently by bor-
rowing, bonds other than per cent
consols. They can obtain the use of
these bonds for limited period. and
they are as desirable as any for securi-
ty for deposits They are not as desir-
able as security for circulation, for the
reason that circulation based thereon is
taxable at 1 per cent. while circulation
based on the 2 per cent corsols is ta-1-
able at only one-half of 1 per cent
The banks can not obtain except by
purchase any bonds as a basis for cir
culation, because when deposited for
circulation they can not be released un-
til their circulation Is retired, and it
may take a year before their circula-
fion can be retired. and the price of
bonds is so high that bank circulate
IS maintained at considerable loss to the
banks. They must be encouraged, or

THE SLATE.
Almost up to the time set for the re-
assembling of the convention there was
no change in the ticket proposed last
night which is as follows:
For Governor-Bird S. Coler, of Kings
Lieutenant Governor-Charles N. Bull
Comptroller-C. NJ. Heston. Ulster.
Secretary of State-Frank H. Mott,
Chautauqua.
Attorney General-John Cunnen, Erie
Engineer w Herman, of
Oneida.
Treasured. ]. Van Auken. Ontario
Judge Court of Appeals-John c.
Gray, New York.
This is the ticket promulgated from
the headquarters of Senator Hill. 1t
was the result of long conference of
state leaders in which Senator Hill and
Hugh Mclaughlin took a leading part
1Ee announcement OF lnlS tentative
ticket was received quietly by the
throng in the hotel corridors, and later
rumors were circulated that when 1t
came before the convention it might
not stand The Kings county delegates,
led by Senator McCarren, were proni-
nent in talking of prospective changes.
Despite this the Hill people went Sc
renely on making arrangements for the
nomination and in fact, after the first
conference Kings county absented itself.
Senator Hill did not affirm or denv
that the slate as given out by those in
his room was absolutely that which the
convention would finally nominate.
One of the rumors which sprang up
after the slate was announced was that
Kings county was preparing a bolt, and
that several of the delegates would re-
fuse to abide by the Coler decision or
vote in the unit system. Senator Nc
Carren in answering this said:
1T is useless to try and disguise the
fact that several members of our dele
cation are not heartily in favor Of Mr..
Coler. We still believe that Judge Par
ker would accept the nomination if con-
fronted with the fact that the conven-
ton wanted him by acclamation. Still
don't think we will break the unit
rule"

ANOTHER DURAND NAMED.
Michigan Democrats Fill Vacancy on
State Ticket.

Detroit, Mich, Oct 1.-After an ami
mated discussion lasting nearly three
hours the Democratic state central COM
mittee selected l.. T. Durand, of Sagi-
nav. as the party's candidate for gov
ernor. The new nomination was made
necessary by the withdrawal of GeorEe
H. Durand. of Flint, a brother of the
nominee. Judge Durand was stricken.
with paralysis five weeks ago, and his
condition has remained such that all
thought of his going through campaign
or filling the office of governor had to
be abandoned.
The fight lay between the gold DEM
ocrats who favored L. T. Durand, and
the silver Democrats who wanted to
nominate State Senator ]. w. Helme, OF
Adrian, Charles Stigh. Of Grand Rapids.
or some other Democrat who had come
out as a silver man in 1896. Helme' :
friends stood by his declara ton that
the state convention should be recon-
vened to fill Judge Durand's place on the
ticket, and as he had declared that he
would not accept a nomination at the
hands of committee, his name was not
presented. On the second formal ballot
the committee stood IA for Durand and
10 for Stigh, the nomination of Durand
being made thereafter unanimous.

circulation constantly contracts. There
fore the department has decided to re-
lease. for such banks as have deposits
and are not maintaining their limits
of circulation. a portion of the bonds
now held by the government, taking in
lieu thereof other satisfactory security,
on condition always that the bonds re-
leased will be used for the immediate

provision does not apply to those banks
that already have their maximum cir

that do not have any deposits. The

York banks do not care anything for
cash-they do their business by means
of credits. The loans and deposits are
in the form of checks and bookkeeping,
and all theV want of cash is to main
tain their reserves"
"Then what is the use of increasing
circula tion?" was asked.
oh" replied the secretary instantly,
your banks here do not do all the busi-
ness. When it comes to the western
banks when they want to make loan
for the purpose of paying for cattle or
grain they have got to pay out the act

the cash is needed and they call on the

Opening prices showed some sharp losses.
The buoyant rise at the close yesterday

The denial of the report of the coal strike

Rapid Transit at the worlds Fair

st. Louis. Oct. lit will cost S750.000
to construct and equip the rapid transit
system uGeH the Worlds fair grounds.
The length of the road and its branches
will be eight miles and it will enable
the visitors to see the vast exposition
with as little fatigue as possible. The
problem in planning the intra-mural
road has been to place it where 1t
would not mar the beauty of the expo
sition. Eminent engineers have been
called into consultation and all phases
of the project thoroughly studied 1t is
believed the plan presented by Charles
V. Weston of Chicago comes nearest to
perfect solution of the difficultX Ow-
ing to the varying attitudes of the ex-
position grounds the road will be at
times an elevated line and in other
parts built at grade or below the sur
face The trip on the .nt-a-mural will
be one of the most delightful diversions
for visitors to the exposition.

A raiding force from the Brown army
was placed in the position which it
would have occupied had 1t circled
around the front of the Blue army, at
which point it's commander learned of
the approach of the wagon train. He
at once attacked on the Fort Riley res
ervation with the purpose of inflicting
as much damage as possible upon the
train
The approach of the attacking force
was known to the commander of the
Blue army, and finding that the direct
road to Fort Riley, after crossing Three
Mile creek on the reservation, was i'm
pasSable, proceeded along the ridge
road. No choice of routes was left him.
although he knew the enemy was in
front.
The train consisted of all the wagons
that could be secured at Fort Riley
and when drawn out on the line of
march extended over two miles in a di-
rect line. In order to make the train as
large as possible all the caissons of the
batteries not in the exercises were in

FOR EVANS FUNERAL.
Ottawa Football Player Hurt in To-
peka Gets Flowers.
The Ottawa Republic says:


Late Sunday evening there walked into
the Fowler restaurant the stalwart figure
of Captain Jack Evans, the doughty hero
of many gridiron conflicts. Jack had just
got in from Topeka by a roundabout way
He bore no evidence of the injuries he re-
ceived in the game with the Topeka Med
les Saturday which put him out of the last
half of the game. Captain Evans bore
several punches of choice cut flowers.
What the dickens?" mildly interrogated
one of Jacks friends who was standing
by, as he looked at the flowers.
For my funeral" was the laconic reply
accompanied by a broad smile.
1t was a fact. The flowers were not a
feminine tribute to his prowess on the
gridiron. but were intended to decorate
the casket in which the recipient was sup
posed to repose.
Evans was badly hurt in the football
game. Caldwell of the Medics butted him
over the heart and he was out of the re-
mainder of the game. Sunday morning it
was announced from one of the Topeka
pulpits that Evans had passed to the shin
ing shore. But he had not. While the
congrega ton was weeping over another
victim of the brutality of football the vic
tim was lying in his bed at the National
hotel reading the sporting news in the
morning papers. Then the flowers arrived
for the funeral and Jack left for home.
