DOwIE's WALL STREET STUNT.

John Alexander Dowle sometimes called Elijah
No 2, the apostle of Zon-whatever that may mean
is now in New York with $500 of hiscozealots to
carry out his long advertised intention of invading
Wall street.
John Alexander has had thoughts lately that he
needed broader field than the one occupied by a
raft of weak women and weaker men.
And so he determined to beard the bulls and bears
in their fastness on Wall street and see how many
captains of industry he could induce to give up their
mad rush for money and turn what they have made
over to him to build up Greater Zion.
John Alexander did not give that as the exact
reason of his present invasion, of course.
He claims that he Is out a soul-saving stunt.
Poor John Alexander!
What do you suppose is going to happen to him
after he has been set down for few minutes among
the fierce animals that throng the floor of the great
money market?
Can't you imagine his finish?
Wouldn't you like to see before and after pic
ture?
That he would receive warm hearty recep-
ton there was no doubt. Anyone who knows Wall
street could predict that.
If there is anything left of the brave John
Alexander after he has tarried in Wall street few
days it will be because he had provided himself
with flying machine patterned after that of the
prophet whose prototype he claims to be, and with
which he can soar far from the maddenng crowd"

AWFUL DEED OF INSANE MAN
Missouri Farmer Kills Wife and Six
Children.

St. Louis, March IA. - Ado1ph
Krauss, a German farmer living twen-
ty-one miles west of st. Louis, near
Bellefontaine, killed his wife and six
children with a sledge hammer. Krauss
had the reputation among his neigh
bors Of being a quiet, industrious, in
offensive, contented man, and no other
cause than insanity can be ascribed.
From all that can be learned Adolph
Krauss entered the house some time
during the afternoon armed with
sledge hammer. Without warning he
struck his wife on the head, killing her
instantly. Then Selling his first child,
aged twelve, he likewise dealt her a
murderous blow. The other five chill
dren were killed similarly, the last be-
ing six-months-old baby. Krauss
then placed the seven bodies on the
floor in one room. He locked the door,
dealt himself a blow which stunned
and knocked him unconscious, his
body falling almost in line with those
of his victims.
When John Krauss, Adolph's broth
er, discovered the crime, he summoned
the authorities. The bodies were
taken in charge by an undertaken, but
it was decided not to move that OF
Adolph Krauss.
Krauss has since succumbed to his
injuries.

BLOODY WORK OF BANDITS.
Mexican Stage Held Up and Six Per
sons Killed


Tucson, Ariz., March 14.-Mexican
bandits held up the stage which runs
between Potam and TORN, on the
laqui river in Sonora, on last Tues
day night, killing all six passengers.
Among them was Hitherto AlyaradO,
wealthy Mexican, who owns number
of ranches along the Yaqui river.
Alvarado and his wife had taken the
stage from Potam to TORN and the
bandits no doubt thought they carried
large sum Of money with them. The
stage carried very little mail and
scarcely any money or valuables, so
that Alvarado must have been the
mark for the bandits. The holdup
took place about half way between.
the two towns, but just how the stage
was attacked will never be known, as
all of the passengers and driver were
killed. They were picked up the same
afternoon of the tragedy and the cur
cumstances gave evidence that they
resisted. Their bodies were rifled of
everything of value on them. The
traces had been cut and the horses had
been allowed to run wild. The cover
and body of the stage were shot full
of holes.
It is thought by the Guayamas au-
thorities that the perpetrators were
some of the bandits who have taken
refuge in the mountains back of the
Yaqui river and were watching for AL
varado. Friends of the murdered
ranch owner say that he had little
money with him at the time. Alvarado
had been married only two months
With him were Senorita Julia Berdo
and Senorita c. H. de Gonzales, both
of prominent families in that country,
who were also murdered.

Investigating Lease Frauds.

One of the largest cattle companies
in Colorado and several employees In
various large hotels OF Denver are
likely to get into serious trouule as a
result of the investigation .nat Regis
ter Woodruff has already set on foot,
says the Denver News.
In going over the old records of the
land office last week evidence was
found of leases granted on $4,000 acres
of the most valuable grazing land in
tho state. The land is situated in Ell
Paso and Pueblo counties, and there
is now over $1,000 due in rentals to the
state.
But the most peculiar fact brought
out by a superficial investigation was
that the leases had been made out to
seven bell boys and servants employed
In the Brown Palace. Albany and Met.
ropole hotels. There are seven OF
them, and they are men who, beyond a
doubt, never thought OF using the land
for their own purposes. What they
wanted Of 1t, then, was more than Mr..
woodruff could understand, unless
they had allowed their names TO be
used by some wealthy cattle company,
Search as to who was really using the
land brought fort such astonishing
facts that Special Agent Slawson was
at once hurried to Pueblo and a rigid
investigation will be made of the
whole affair.
The land was leased to the seven
employees of the hotels In 1900. While
the employees gave bond as required
by law, no rentals have been paid
since the first year. The law also re
quires that when an original lessee
wishes to assign his lease. notice must
first be given to the state. and their
consent secured. No such notice has
been given III connection with a single
one OF the seven leases being investi
gated. and for all official notice the
Land Board has. the $4,000 acres is
still in the hands of the original ap
nlicants

No Kansas compromise Proposed.

A Denver Republican special from
Topeka, Kansas, says: Kansas Off
cials were much interested when they
read the statement of Governor Pea
body of Colorado to the effect that he
had suggested no compromise Of the
Kansas-Colorado water suit. They say
that the compromise talk must now be
traced to some other Colorado source,
as they profess to be certain that no.
body on the Kansas side suggested a
compromise. A representative of the
Republican asked Attorney General
Coleman about the matter. He said
that as far as he knew no compromise
had been officially proposed by either
side. and that he had not been ap-
preached by anybody on the subject.
He admitted. however, that the air is
full of compromise talk and that pos
sibly this would be the outcome of the
litigation.
The Kansas officials freely admit
they would like to get the water suit
OF thei- hands and while not conced-
ing that the Colorado officials have the
better of the argument. they would be
pleased IL some satisfactory settle
ment of the suit could be arranged.
