LOOKS LIKE MURDER.

An Unknown Man Found Near Cold
Springs Yesterday.
Yesterday morning Coroner Updike
received telephone message saying
that the body Of a man had been found
near Cold Springs. The coroner i'm
mediately secured a team and left
for the scene. He returned last ev-
ening with the remains. and an in
quest will be held tomorrow after
noon.
Mr.. Updike informed a Journal re-
porter that everything pointed to a
murder having been committed. In
the little ravine where the body was
found hundreds of footprints could be
distinctly seen as we'll as footprints
of a person leaving the place. 1t is
thought that the footprints where the
body was found were made during a
struggle ensued before the unfortu-
nate fellow was killed. There was
nothing whatever on the mans per
son that would tend to an Identified
tiCn His face was crushed in hOr-
rible manner and the theory that he
was struck by one CT the northern
trains has been discredited.
About thirty feet from where the
body lay Coroner Updike picked up a
constitution and bylaw book of the
Laundry Workers Union, No. rs, OF
Sacramento. The book was in a good
state of preservation and was folded
just as it would be to carry in the

THINGS THEY DON'T TELL
How Kansas Helps Keep Up Kansas
City Convention Hall

The Kansas City papers are publish
ing the report of the management of the
Kansas City Convention hall for the
past year, making a showing that the
hall has run behind $5,01647, and that
only something over $4,000 has been
taken in.
1t is noticeable, however, that the re-
port as published says nothing about the
convention hall lottery which was run
by Kansas City last fall and to which
Kansas people contributed literally, and
which was said at the time have netted
the management about $4,000.
1t is also interesting to note that the
grand prize in that lottery has not yet
reached the people who guessed right.
J. NJ Simpson, internal revenue collec-
tor, was one of the successful ones who
is entitled to a generous slice of that
grand prize of $4,000. but he has not
yet seen any of it. It is said to be tied
up in court until the court decides
whether three, four or five people are en-
titled to share in it.

HALT THE BRIBFRs.

The Scranton (Pa.) Truth argues that
in the crusade against municipal cor
ruption, attention should be given to
bribers, as well as bribe-t takers 1t
says: Halt the bribers as we'll as the
bribe-takers everywhere, and there will
be an end of what is called graft and
beginning of honest administration"
Commenting upon the foregoing the
Pittsburg Gazette says:
1T is an easy matter to halt the bribers.
No man gives money for thing unless
he has to do so. The prevalence of bril-
berry is due to conditions of organized
blackmail. The situation is not to he
corrected by exhortation. but by a bet
ter organization of government. Where
a responsible public agency has been
created for the negotiation of franchises,
as in New York and Baltimore. appli-
cants must offer a public consideration.
If the matter is left with city council
Hobbies applicants must offer private
consideration.
THE beginning of honest administra-
ton will come when the people wake UP
to the fact that the problem of good
government is simply a question of pro-
per business organization, and not be-
fore. Mere defamation about the
enormity of bribe-giving and bribe-tak-
ing is not helpful"

TRAIN LOAD OF INSANE.
They Will Be Taken from Topeka to
Parsons


What would you think of whole'pas
sehger train with nobody on it except
insane people and their attendants?
That is the kind of train which will be
run from Topeka to Parsons some time
this month, probably soon after August
Is.
The new hospital for the insane at
Parsons will be completed within two or
three Weeks-that is, the first of the
buildings will be completed, enough to
accommodate 1875 patients. In about
three months accommodations for 80
more will be completed, and early next
year a number OF other buildings VIII
be completed.
1t is expected that the 1875 patients
which can be accommodated in the new
hospital this month will take most OF
the epileptics from both the Topeka
and Osawatomie asylums. the worst OF
them at least The new hospital at
Parsons is designed especially for epi~
leptics. In transporting the patients to
Parsons a special train will be char
taken on that. 1t will start from the
Topeka asylum, run from there to Osa-
watomie, and thence direct to the new
hospital at Parsons. The passengers
will all be insane people and their at
tendants.
Taking 165 patients from the Topeka
and Osawatomie hospitals will make
that much room in them for patients
which are being kept in private asylums
at the expense of the various counties,
which are supposed to be reimbursed
by the state. By the time the Parsons
hospital is completed it is probable tnat
most of the private asylums where IN
sane patients are kept at PUBIC eX-
pense can be emptied.

EVERYBODY TAKES SHAVE.
Curious Fad Strikes Honey Creek, Ind,
and Hirsuite AdornmeDts Vanish.

Dublin, Ind. Aug. 4.-There is much
speculation as to the outcome of a pecu-
liar fad that has overtaken the male
population of the village of Honey
Creek, in Henry county. northwest of
this place. and it is feared that there
will be wholesale rush for the divorce
courts as a result.
Nearly every man in the place has
had his mustache removed, and those
who have worn full boards for a quar-
ter of a century are having their faces
shaved clean. Women walking along
the street are unable to recognize their
own husbands and often get their men
mixed with others.
The people of the little village have
given the fad the name of the smooth
lip fever" and the only two BARRIERS of
the place are working overtime so that
all corners can be accommodated 1t
all started when Frank Sheets and
Riley Flemmings had their full
boards shaved from their faces.

A LONG-LOST son.
After Two. Years Truancy Indiana
Boy Returns to His Home.

Crawfordsviile, Ind, Aug. 4-The Big
-Four station was the scene of a touch
nlhg last week, when the east bound
hnlckerbocker arrived here. With the
words, My dear boy, at last!' Mrs.
Frank L. Porter of Logansport, fell
into the arms of her lost son and a
separation of two years was at an end.
Early in August. 1901, Lemon Porter,
10 years old, the only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank L. Porter, was missed from
nome He had run away apparently
without any cause whatever other than
an innate love of adventure, which had
been cultivated by reading books of ad
venture. The day that the boy left
home his father took careful steps to
ind his son, and the search never
ceased. Soon after the young man dis
appeared he was traced to the Pacific
coast and there all clews were lost
After while the parents, who had
become almost distracted by worry
heard that Lemon had gone to South
Africa. On following this clew they
were led to believe that their boy had
not gone to Africa. but that he had been
in Europe and was then en- route for
Newfoundland. The fact was that Len
on was going under the name of H. E.
Cooper and that he was on the very ship
in which the detectives crossed the Pa
cific in search of him. They all landed
in Cape Town over the same gang plank
but neither knew of the others pres
ence.
The boy, of whom the detectives lost
all trace, enlisted in the Boer service
and saw several months of rough war
life, being severely wounded In one or
two battles.
Many clews were investigated and all
the means of the father were lost in the
search, but all traces as to the boys
whereabouts were lost until ten days
ago, when he was found working in an
Illinois wheat field. He came back to
this country several months ago and
took employment in backwoods coun-
ty, while steps were being taken to find
him in the utmost corners of the earth.
AS soon as the boy had been found
correspondence from his crazed parents
persuaded him to return to them and the
result was the reunion mentioned.

Attended Like a Princess.

A small procession went into a flor
lists shop on Fifth avenue last week
which attracted the attention of all the
customers in the place. There was a
nicely dressed young woman, presum-
ably governess. another who was
lady's maid. footman and last but by
no means least. a private detective. In
the midst of all these grown people was
one tiny little girl, simply gowned. She
took great interest in the floral display,
and went around to the different stands
and counters admfring them. But never
for moment did the retinue of four al
low her out of their midst. They screen
ed her from general observation and
crowded about her With the advice of
the governess, the child made some
trif1ing purchases. A carriage outside
was waiting for her. and the retinue
preceded and closed in To a general
inquiry, the shopkeeper answered:
That is little Miss Carnegie, and she
is never allowed to go out without
bodyguard. A private detective is al
ways near her. You know the children
of the very rich may be kidnapped any
day and held for a ransom. She is
very intelligent. and knows Just what
she wants to purchase"
And some one remarked THAI the life
of such a child was surrounded with
more state than that of European
princess. and that she should grow up.
always to be followed by a retinue, and
never to be be alone. was fate which
hardly compensated for large fortune

FINANCIAL eAsTR1r1s.

Henry Clews & Co.'S Financial Re
view is responsible for the assertions
that the crisis has been passed in Wah
street and that the trouble has been
financial gastritis." The latest issue
of the Review says:
The crisis in Wall street appears to
have reached its climax and from now
on Improvement may be reasonably eX-
pected accompanied, of course, by the
usual setbacks incidental to GONZALES
cencc. Experts seem to agree in dag
nOsing the ailment which has attacked
the stock market with such severity as
financial gastritis-the inevitable result
of an ill-advised attempt to swallow an
immense quantity of indigestible secu-
rites. Singularly, the attack has been
most severe upon those who took part
in this sumptuous meal; but FORUM
and heroic appHcat iOns of the hydro
pathic or liquidation treatment, the dis
ease did not become sufficiently acute
to develop symptoms of hysterid or
panic. The unhappy patients have SUI
Tered severely by their underwriting
commitments; nevertheless a valuable
lesson has been learned, and the expert
ence should have its value TO observers
and all interested.
The most satisfactory feature OF the
last few days has been the easier rates
for time money This demonstrates re-
vivtng confidence on the part of bank
GAS WHO are ODlSeQ 10 anticipate the
iuturc. While the high figure at which
loans continue to stand in the weekly
bank statement is a matter of concern
to some observers who have been an
ucipating a sharp contraction as the
result of recent liquidation, bankers do
not show any anxiety in this respect,
probably because they now have their
resources unusually well in hand and
prohtably employed. There are three
factors accounting for this high level of
loans, which are sometimes overlooked,
viz: the. large increase of banking
capital in New York the large amount
OF railroad paper outstanding and the
increased extent to which big indus
trial establishments under the trust
system now borrow in New York in
stead of near the mills as formerly. A
good bank statement is anticipated this
week, partly on account of payment of
the Pennsylvania loans and partly be-
cause treasury disbursements have
been exceeding receipts for some time
past Stock market liquida ton must
also have strengthened the banks much
more than has yet appeared in the
weekly statements. Besides these fac
tors gold is now on the way here from
australia, and in the present condition
OF the European money markets any
emergency here would quickly start
gold imports to this center. The local
money market, therefore, is in much
improved condition. Very soon crop
demands will assert themselves; but
the banks are well prepared for these.
ana the present outlook is that no spe-
clal Inconvenience will be caused there
Dy. 1t is quite certain that legitimate
trade will not suffer for want of proper
financial accommodation this summer
or fall. and speculative demands are not
come.

1t turns out that Sheriff Whitlock.

Jail, was a cab driver before he became
an officer of the state of Illinois.
They say 1 am dead politically" says
Whitlock. but l can still drive

But before the metaphoric burial
takes place there will be, it is plain,
some strong signs of animation about
this political corpse. Already he has
