STILL AFTER JEWETT.
Warden of Penitentiary Has Another
Habeas Corpus Suit.

Warden Jewett of the Kansas peni-
Tertiary has another habeas corpus
suit hanging over his head. This time
it is issued by a judge down in Okla
homa. 1t has only been few weeks,
too. since the Kansas supreme court
released Warden Jewett from an order
issued under a writ of habeas corpus
by a Kansas judge.
Mr.. Jewett called upon Attorney
General Coleman today and told him
about the Oklahoma case. A judge
down there issued an order command
ing the warden of the Kansas peniten-
tiary to bring an Oklahoma convict in
the Kansas penitentiary down there to
testify in the judges court Warden
Jewett refused to obey the order.
Thereupon the judge issued writ of
habeas corpus commanding the war
den to bring the prisoner forthwith.
This is what the warden told the at
torney general about
Mr.. Coleman told Warden Jewett to
stand pat and pay no attention to the
writ. as the warden has no authority
to take prisoners back to Oklahoma.
The Kansas supreme court only three
weeks ago declared that a Kansas dis
trict judge cannot order the warden
to bring a prisoner back from the pen
itentiary when the warden is out of
his judicial district, and it is hardly
probable that an Oklahoma judge can
make a Kansas officer to do some
thing when a Kansas judge cannot
make the same order.

NOT IN THE LIMIT.
So-Called Hop Tea Found to Contain
Too Much Alcohol.

Analysis of samples of supposed
seized hop tea hsa been made by
Prof Lovewe1l. chemist. and submit
ted to Chief Stahl. The analysis
shows that the stuff which has been
masking as hop tea contains three or
more per cent of alcohol. Further
analysis will be made and results fur
nished to the chief of police tomorrow
at which time the further tests will
have been completed. The samples
from which the analysis was made
were taken from hop tea raided at
Frank Murphy'S place at the CHESTER
field hotel and also from AL Hayslip 8
and Frank Klauer's places or Dusl-
ness Each of these have Deen por-
lions of their stock in trade OF hop
tea taken for violation of the hop tea
ordinance. Most of them have been
made on the sale basis, parties Duylng
the hop tea in less than the. gallon
lots provided for in the new ordl-
nance. An effort was made to baff1e
the bottles and the hop tea sold from
bottles rather than drawn from kegs.
But in each instance. the label not
withstanding, the stuff in bottles was
not hop tea as claimed, put the
straight tabSoed beer. The CHIEF
thinks, howd&r, that the hop tea par
lors are not Violating the keg rule by
placing beer in with the hop tea ana
mixing the two brands. 1t really does
not have to come to mixing, there is
plenty of opportunity to secure the
stuff straight without endeavoring to
make it associate with hop tea which
most of the initiated look upon with
small favor

BEGGARS' DAILY PAPER.
Queer Newspaper Publication of Great
Value to the Craft.

A special newspaper for mendicants, a
beggars journal, has been published daily
in Paris for the past ten years: Naturally
its circulation is somewhat restricted but
its cost is high enough, especially for a
beggar to pay. Twenty centimes is its
price, and just now, when all the news
papers in France are inclining to lower
their price, and some of the best sheets
seems curious that the mendicants' jour
nal should cost twenty centimes, or four
cents.
However. the beggars' journal-it is in
the line of a trade paper. and the only
parties interested, the beggars themselves,
do not complain, for, in their opinion, it
contains invaluable information and could
without any difficulty be sold at even a

day that one expects to find in a news

There are also announcements OF recep-

the Americans in Paris, and mention of
anything out of the ordinary, such as the
receiving of a legacy and the like that
might dispose a person to deal kindly
with mendicants.
1t easily may be seen that respectable

Hackensack, N. j., July 2S.-Mabel
Birdsell, II years old, and Dittor Mac
Nichols, IA years old, are missing from
their homes in this place and the police
have so far been unable to locate them.
Mrs. MacNicholls, the mother of one of

day, hoping that she would find her
daughter there, but returned last night
disappointed.
The Birdsell girl mas been living with
the family OF the Rev. H. B. Leech. of
the First Methodist church, for two
years. Her stepfather lives in Fairview.
but she told Superintendent Bratt. of
the Children's Home, it is said. that
she could not live happily with him. so
a place was found for her in the min
ister's home here. She left a note say
ing that she and the MacNicholls girl
were going away and asked the minis
ter to pray for them. The father of the
MacNicholls girl is a retired fireman.
The two girls went to Fairview, where
the Birdsell girl got SO from her mother.
The police of New York and Coney
Island have been asked to look for the
missing girls.

HAD VISION OF son DYING.
Lad Was Drowning in East River
When Presentiment Came.

New York, July 2s.-"I had a presen-

claimed the mother of S-year-old Mich
ael O'Dea, who was drowned in the
East river. At her home. POS West
Sixty-fifth street, Mrs. O'Dea told of
how at o'clock she had presentiment
foretolding evil for little Michael.
AT that moment the boy was drown
ing in the East river off Seventy-sec-
ond street. He had gone bathing there
with his brother Johnny and George
OLeary. Michael could not swim, but
he took his brothers dare and plunged
in beyond his depth.
1T came over me so sudden said
Mrs. O'Dea, that I was nearly prostra-
ted. Try as I would, I could not dis
pei the horrible feeling that something
had happened to my boy. 1t seemed a
vision of death to me. 1 went to sew
eral neighbors and tried to keep my
mind off all thoughts of danger. Final
ly, in sheer desperation, 1 appealed to
my friends to help me find my son. If
1 could have been brought to him at
once all would have been well. 1 went
from house to house. but could get no
trace of him. Just as I was giving up
all hope and almost fainting 1 met my
son Johnny carrying Michaels clothes"

Plant Has Been Refitted.

A. A. Rodgers, the principal owner

wants it distinctly understood that
since the new company took charge
of that plant it has completely refitted
it, and is making a different quality
of brick from what was made. when
Lew Blackman was owner of the
plant.
Some people think said Mr..
Rodgers today. that the State Jour-
naTs article about the damage done
by the circus to the Blackman brick
pavements is reflection on us. 1t
will be used by our competitors to
club US with. Since Mr.. Blackman
left we have completely re-equipped
the plant with $4,000 worth of new
machinery. and can now make the
best vitrified brick in the country"
There has been no complaint about
the quality of the brick turned out
since Mr.. Rodgers and Mr.. Ernest
took charge of the plant.

Nelson, Morris & Co.'s branch in South

at the branch to secure meat and were
received threateningly by strike sym

the crowd was dispersed.
Intense excitement was aroused in the
crowded exchange building in the stock
yards today by a nattempt to kill Geo.
u. Ward, member of commission firm.

USE ONLY A SINGLE FILM.
Two Inventors Solve n Perplexing
Problem in Colored Pictures.

Paris, July 2S.-The problem of
making colored pictures from a single
film or plate has been solved by the
joint invention of an Austrian scien-
fist, NJ. De Slavick, and of the Ger
man, DR.. Hezeckiel.
The result of their joint studies is
a sensitive paper called "'multico,"
which after exposure in any photo
graphing apparatus develops all the
colors of the original object by being
immersed in warm water.
This new paper, which is made of
two kinds, one for landscape and the
other for portraits. is so made as to
arrest the colored waves of light and
retain them, being covered with ten
different strata of chemicals, sepa-
rated by thin gelatin films.

DOG Captured Murderer.

A dog at Hagenhof. in Brunswick.
Germany, has led to the detection of
a child murderer.
The victim was the 11-year-old
daughter of farmer. She was found
dead in a shed, and it was supposed
that one of the farm hands. of VIII ON
there were a score. had committed
the crime.
They were summoned by the police,
and placed in a row in the farm yard.
The dog was then taken into the room
where the body of the murdered girl
lay, and then to the shed where the
body was found.
When led into the farm yard the
animal rushed straight at a laborer
named Duwe and bit his leg. Thinking
this might be a mere matter of
chance, the police ordered Duwe to
change his clothes and take differ
ent position in the line of men.
A second time thte dog rushed at
him. and bit his leg again. Duwe
was so overcome that he confessed
his guilt.-Detroit Tribune.
