Mistook 1t for a Letter Box.

The waste paper box in front Of the
postofice is causing some confusion
from the fact that it is occasionally mis-
taken by thoughtless people for a letter
box. On several occasions letters have
been dropped into the receptacle, al
though so far no serious losses have re-
suited. A day or two ago, however, a
man deposited letter enclosing certi-
fed check ia the box, and later dis
covered his mistake. He searched the
box and not finding the letter started for
the telegraph Office and, on his way, to
his surprise found the envelope minus
the check, which some one had remov-
ed. A telegram stopped the payment OF
the check. Many people think the box
should be removed from its present po-
sition.

Anna Lawrence Denies She Was Dis
charged by Mrs. Nicl5uIn.

Anna Lawrence, the girl who pre-
ceded Stella Brown as cook at the
Nickum house, has been heard from.
Her communication is a little late. as
she is correcting a statement made on
November 23 by Mrs. Della Skidmore,
but as this is the first time that Anna
Lawrence has been heard from, her
statement is of some interest.
Miss Lawrence was not called as a
witness at the inquest. for some rea-
SON. She denies emphatically the
statement made by Mrs. Della Skid
more that she was discharged by Mrs
Nickum She says that she and Mrs.
Skidmore had fixed up a plan to go
out west together, and that Mrs. Skid
more backed out. She intimates that
Mrs. Skidmore is telling an untruth
when she asserts that she (Mrs. Skid
more) left Mrs. Nickum'S employ be-
cause she was in poor health.
Miss Lawrences statement is as fol-
lows:
Topeka, Dec. 2, 1904.
To the Editor of the State Journal.
In regard to the Nickun murder
case, I wish to make a statement.
Mrs. Della Skidmore testified on
fibs and made trouble in the hotel and
was told by Mrs. Nickum that I would
have to straighten up or would have
to go; and also that she heard Mrs
Nickum tell me so; also that 1 was
discharged by Mrs. Nickum. She let
me off for a week because / wanted
to go out in the country to my broth
er-in-law's place a few days, and l
was told to come back in a week and
stay all winter with her. But on
Thanksgiving 1 told her would quit,
and got a job at Mrs. Annie Ripleys
on West Sixth.
Mrs. Skidmore did not tell the
truth about me, for I was not dis
charged and I have proof for my
statements. Della intended to quit the
week she did two weeks before, for
she told me so, and wanted me to quit
too. That was the reason 1 quit, be-
cause Della wanted me to, and go out
out and would not go. She did not
quit on account of her health.
Please publish these items for it
gives me a bad name to have it stated
that 1 was discharged. I can prove
all my statements as being true, and
also that Mrs. Skidmore told what
was not true. Yours respectfully, Il

NO EXTRA PAY
For Naval Oflcers When Performing
Sea Duty.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Justice Brown
today delivered the opinion of the SUI
preme court of the United States in
the case of c. NJ Thomas versus the
United States, involving the rights of
naval officers in respect to extra pay
under the navy personnel acts of 1900
and 1901. The opinion is in favor of
the government. The claim presented
was that naval officers who go to sea
should be allowed 10 per cent in ex-
cess of their usual pay because the
Increase is made to army officers who
are assigned to duty at sea or at a
foreign port. the purpose of the law
being the assimilation of the salaries
of army and navy officers. Mr..
Thomas is a captain in the navy, and
made claim for the extra pay because
of service in the Philippines, in China,
and at sea. Most of his claims We're
allowed by the court of claims, but
this decision was today reversed.
