friends, and so he wrote to him at Hous-
ton hoping that if the letter did not
reach him at Houston, it might be for
warded to his new address. Mr.. Caldwell
told him of the rumors and closed by
saying: Now doctor. if you are not dead.
please write and tell me so. If you are
dead. please have someone write who
knows the facts
Yesterday Mr.. Caldwell received the
following letter. which shows that Mr..
Wallace has not left the United states,
and is self-explanatory:
Houston, Texas, May Is, 1893
I'D. n. Caldwell, Wellington. Kan:
Dear nd:-Your kind letter of in
quiry of the 14th inst. was duly received.
In answer to yours, lam still in the land
of the living, together with my devoted
wife a ndbright and promising children.
I am somewhat surprised and amused
at the report that l had committed sui
eide after my second marriage-presum-
ably young and handsome bride-to
mourn my untimely loss. Rumor evil
IDENTIFY don't know my nature and fond
ness of the beautiful and youthful to have
startled the ears of friends by one of
her thousand tongues with such ridicu-
lous statement
My wife and I both laughed immed
erately at such a report, and she said
il 1t had been reported that the suicide
had taken place before she departed it
would have been more likly. We often
talk of our Wellington friends and wish
we We're still living there to enjoy their
charming society. Dear old Wellington
and her hospitable people have a warm
place in my heart. You need not be afraid
to open this letter. thinking. perhaps,
it may be from one numbered among the
dead with a description written with its
ghostly fingers of the torments of the
damned.
Tom Richardson informed me just be-
fore l received your letter that these
reports of my unreasonable taking off
had been published in the Wellington
papers. 1 would be delighted TO read
them. 1t would also afford me great
pleasure and satisfaction if you would
kindly hand this letter in for publication
for the benefit of my friends My wife
and l send kindest regards to all our
Wellington friends and sincerely hope in
future more pleasing news of us shall
reach their ears. Yours in the flesh.

hour that Ned finds time to utilize them.
Monday morning bright and early the
spirit moved Ned to thoughts of bath.
The thought was uncomfortable as in the
case with a maiden's tho lghts in early

fact that there were no bath rooms open
so early Monday morning only made
Neds desire more intens'. and so a bath

against the offending clerk and Judge
Prayer was called upon to preside at the
court held in the police court room
Tuesday evening. Cour Journal Clerk

Tense and the trial was entered upon
with all the zeal and pugnacious features
common to trials of this character. For
some time It'll ooked as though Attorney
Dolde had the best of things and it
looked as though Ned would pull through
in fine shape; but alas. for human hopes
at critical moment in the trial Attorney
Dold sought to further fortify his clients
in the esteem of the court by uttering a
few sentences of jargon german to the
court and this was the fatal error to
the defense. Judge Prayer held at once
that german had no rights in this
country that a self respecting court was
bound to respect. The jig was up. Plead
ings and guile We're of no avail The pris-
oners fate was sealed. Dolde was
crushed by a look and Sisson realized
that it was too much to expect clemency
or even common decency from the court
