Washington, July POSTMASTER Gen
eral Payne has issued an order abolish

MARSHALL'S CONCERT.
It Was Held Last Night and Was a
Decided Success.

Marshall's band in a vacant lot on a
street corner is just as good as Mar
shalls band in a band stand in Gar
field park and is equally appreciated.
The first of the open air free concerts,
given at Eighth and Harrison streets
last night was attended by crowd that
overfiowed into the streets on either side.
The strains of Hearts and Flowers"
fioated out over the streets and homes
of that quiet residence district with an
altogether pleasing effect. The band has
unquestionably advanced in the esteem
of the people of Topeka by its plucky
ness by its losses in the Hood. The sug-
gestion has been made that the band
give a few concerts in the Washburn
college campus during the summer. The
college car line is a good deal used in
summer evenings by fresh air seekers
from town and the attraction of a band
at the other end would doubtless make
it more popular.

POISON SUSPECTED.
Senator Ayers Brother Be-
comes Suddenly Ill.

Detroit, Mich. July 2.-Charles A1ger,
postmaster of Hannibal, Mo-, lies at the
residence of his brother, Senator Alger,
in this city, in a semi-conscious condi
ton and physicians are unable to de-
termine whether he is suffering from
the effects of excessive heat or from
drug administered by revengeful enc
mics. 1t is said that Mr.. Alger has
been instrumental in suppressing the
work of so-called green goods men who
have operated in Missouri of late and
it is feared his condition is the result
of drugs they may have secretly ad-
ministered to him. 1t is believed Mr..
Alger came in contact with a represen-
tative of green goods men in Cleveland
At a hotel in that city it is said he
was robbed of his pocketbook and
considerable sum of money. Later while
paying his bill at the cashiers desk he
was taken i'll and when he reached De-
troit was partially unconscious.

EMPORIA CHAUTAUQUA.
DR.. Gunsaulus Disagrees With State

Emporia, Kas., July 2.-Wednesday

as the most profitable days so far had

lures daily improve with association
and practice. 1.-The Original Quaker
Quartette" made it's appearance in the
forenoon and was Immediately taken

In the afternoon the Rev. Father

BEES IN GRAND STAND.
Swarm Plays Impromptu En-
gagement at Washburn.

A swarm of bees played an impromptu
engagement at the grand stand at the
Washourn college ball grounds We'd
nesday. During the time they were there
they engrossed all the attention.
The bees came unannounced. They
swept into the stand from the north end
like pail of smoke. Frank Grimes
was one of the first to recognize the In
dustrious little insects for he cherishes
painful recOllections of several encount-
ers with their kind when he was a small
Dare1ooted urchin, in which he came off
with honors all on one side. He is
therefore to be pardoned if he did clear
three seats and land on the ground i'm
mediately after he sounded the warming
he was closely followed by Clyde AL
phin, erstwhile heavyweight pitcher for
the K. U. baseball team. Mr.. Alphin
looks like Governor Bailey and he is
usually very dignified but he must have
thought he was due to make a circuit
of the bases for he was at second be-
fore he could be stopped in his mad ca
reer. Mr.. Alphin was simply a specta-
tor and he may have regarded the bees
in the light of a punishment because
he had said some rather cutting things
about some of the players during the
progress of the game.
Deacon House drew his mantle firmly
over his gorgeous waistcoat and sailed
after Mr.. Grimes. He is good sprinter
when he gets started and there was not
bee in the swarm that could keep up
to him. James E. Larimer started to
leave his seat in the stand but finally
crouched down behind a corpulent
friend who was no doubt just as badly
scared as the rest but was too indolent
to move. There were a dozen young
women from the attendants force at the
asylum who were deserted by their
escorts but they proved themselves very
active and escaped unframed. Even the
ball players joined in the panic and
Page, McCampbel and the rest had
business in the direction of the south
field fence President Stricken had
about concluded that he would have to
hunt another ball team when the bees
passed out of range and the players and
spectators returned.
In two minutes it was all over and
not a man, woman or child was any the
worse for the experience. The bees did
not stop to leave any tokens in the
form of swollen faces.
The ball game was merely incidental.
1t was between the Topeka Business col
lege and the Asylum team and the best
that can be said for it is that it was in
teresting. McCampbell for T. B. c.
pitched an excellent game that should
have been a shut out. AS it was the
score was s to 2 in favor of T. B. c.
Several of the Asylum players are ex-
cellent takers.

TELL CONFLICTING STORIES
John Newberry's Companion Accused
of Numbering Him.

Hutchinson, Kas.. July 2.-The mys-
terry which surrounds the murder Of
John Newberry, of West Plains, Mo-.
who was killed at Sherman. near here.
about ten days ago, was added to last
evening when Robert Grose, his COM
panion, who was wounded at the same
time, was taken into custody by the
Sheriff. 1t is case of accuser being
accused. Crosses story of the murder
is that he and Newberry We're shot by
two negroes, and this is the theory
upon which the officers have been
working until recently.
The story told by Grose at the time
of the shooting differs materially from
those told by him later. At first he
claimed to have lost 500 and a watch.
but later said he had but $12 and no
watch. His story to the coroner's jury
and to the officers have been different
First the robbery started on top of r
car. and later he said it was in the
car. First they were shot standing ami
the next time he and Newberry were
sitting A gold watch carried by New
berry is missing, and the gun with
wounded cannot be found. Diligenr
search has failed to locate these things
and their absence is a circumstance in
Crosses favor. Money was found on
him, and he claims that it Is his own.
Sheriff Kimberly, of West Plains.
Mo-, came here for the body of New
berry and had a warrant for Crosse On
a charge of stealing a COW at West
Plains two weeks ago. Kimberly says
Crosse had a bad reputation there. No
one excepting Crosse saw negroes on the
train, and the trainmen had not seen
Grose or Newberry. Crosse was shot
through the mouth. and the officers
have the theory that he did it acct
dentally as he attempted to board the
moving train. The wound is still Civ
ing trouble, and Grose remains in the
Welsh hospital, where he is guarded
by officers to prevent an escape like
that made at Wichita, when Murderer
Dunn left his sick bed and fooled the
officers. He will be taken to Jail the
latter part of the week.
