the night Of the murder between 8
and z O'Clock.
Mcdonald shot and killed negro in
this city about three years ago. The
officers claim they. have convicting ev'
idence against him.
A few nights ago, Just after the
snow lifted, the detective visited the
alley of l. street, where the murder
took place, and took plaster paris
cast Of mans footprints in the soft
earth, back Of a telephone pole. Back
Of this pole, further MP the alley, the
top Of q paling was torn of, and
about five feet further on two others
were torn or at the top. It was evi.
dent that the fiend, in dragging the
girl mp the alley, had braced his foot
behind the pole. and with one hand at
her feet or hair he pulled, while with
the other he grasped the rotten pail

MoDonald's shoe fits this impression
exactly, it 10 said, and in measure
ments corresponds to the cast. A stray
remark, said to have been dropped by
Mcdonald, is responsible for his ar
rest. He is charged in the warrant,
sworn ont BY Marshall Meyers, with
the murder Of the pretty young school
teacher nearly three weeks ago. He
said to party one day that he had
passed the alleys mouth that ni9ht
aud had seen two men standing there.
Further questioning tangled him mp
in his statements. At first he was Civ

almost numberless clews and impsne-

witnesses it was discovered that he
had been in that part of the town on
the night OF the murder and had over
heard Capt. Alexander and Miss
Schaefer speak together not over one
half minute before she must have
reached the alley, they began to think
he was guilty, and that the motive
had been ASSAULT. Then followed q

The lectures and interpretations by
Rector John Sy kes which were discon-

term of school, will be continued
shortly.
The pupils of the high school instead
of meeting in the auditorium for the
lecture every Friday morning, now

lectures again, as they proved so en-
PERTAINING and instructive.
Since the regarding Of the schools
better results are shown even at this
early stage. There have been but few
complaints and these came from par

the work being done. Parents are
more than glad to have their children
placed where they can work to the
best advantage and learn the most, and
this is what the superintendent and
teachers are striving for in regarding
the schools.

ATreat

The farewell entertainment given
in the NJ. E. church last Monday
night by Miss Orla StrOpe was rare
treat to the large and enthusiastic
audience that greeted her. Miss
Strope possesses great talent as an en-
tersainer and is young lady Of ex-
ceptional character and sweet disposi
ton.
She has made a hit on the stage and
next week begins the season with the
Central Lyceum bureau. Miss StrUI e
received a royal ovation and was re-
peatedly called back by her enthu-
siastic audiense.
She was ably assisted in her even
lng's entertainment by Miss Ruth
Gibson who sang in her clear and cul-
tured voice several popular songs.
Miss Nussimer highly entertained
the audience by her rare talent on the
violin.
Never before in Chanute have we
heard such sweet strasns drawn from
a violin. Her performance was super
iOr in every particular.
Alex Baird, jr. and his violin class
also contributed to the pleasure Of
the evening.

M. T. Jones Dead.

Mr.. Jones was born 10 Oneida
counny, N. Y, Nov. IL, 1887 ana
died in Manitau, COL, Saturday Oct
s, 1904
He was one of the early citizens OF
Chanute and has always been Lead
ing citizen in financial and political
circles. There have been few enter
terprises for the betterment or Cha-
mute with which Mr.. Jones was not
connected IN some way.
He was close observer OF men and
affairs and a man of rare good Judge
ment. His foresight and confidence
in the future OF Chanute with gooo
business judgement enabled him TO
prosper financially as few men have
done in this little city.
He was a kind parent and his three
children give evidence of his careful
fatherly training.
He has served as councilman of the
city, post master, commissioner OF the
county, state representative and state
senator. His level headed council in all
these places was always respected.
In business he was careful and
oainstaking but always willing to
extend the time with an unfortunate
debtor. He leaves many monuments
in Chauute to his thriftyness and
public spirit.
In the death of Mr.. Jones Chanute
loses one of her very foremost citizens
and every one feels the loss.
The funeral was held at his late
home on West Main, Wednesday af-
ternOon.
1t was an ideal autumn day and the
business men OF the city closed their
doors and il seemed like the whole
population turned out to pay the last
tribute of respect to worthy citizen.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Francis of the Episcopal church and
the remains were escorted to their
last resting place In Elmwood by the
Elks on foot and large concourse OF
people in carriages and buggies.
Thus has passed away one or the
original founders and one of the men
who has contributed greatly to the
building Of greater Chanute.

determination the sooner will the oil
business revive in the Kansas field.
A significant indication OF the in.
creasing use Of petroleum and its
products is TO be seen in the universal
adoption Of oil and gas engines. Even
South Africa is calling for this kind
of power and is demonstrating its
superiority over the windmill motors
SO commonly used there. The gas
engine has made its way on its merits
to the uttermost parts OF the earth,
and its utility is constantly being
enlarged by the discovery of new and
larger uses for this form of power
producer. In the sparselY settled
countries the argument in favor or
the gas engine is that it is of general
utility where only occasionally USED,
and where the work TO be done neither
justifies nor permits the erection or
steam engine, In our own country III
has been demonstrated that the gas
or oil engine is suited to various tasks
which heretofore were considered
beyond its capacity. Ii has been
successfully coupled to electric light
dynamos aud to electric motors. and
now the proposal is seriously made to
move heavy trains of cars by electrl-
city generated on and by a gasoline
locomotive. This is radical depar-
ture from the hitherto accepted
principles of traction, in that the
gasoline motor car is used simply to
generate electricity, which is wired
TO separate motors. one on each car OF
the train, so that every car becomes
it's own motor, The advantage is
evident in the fact that the traction
is not dependent on the weight OF the
locomotive, the cars assisting by their
weight rather than resisting, as under
the present steam system.
These new departures in the use of
gasoline as motive power point TO
largely increased demand for petro-
leum products in the near future.
They indicate that tho present fear
of over production is not well ground
ed, for when all the avenues Of con-
sumption now in sight are fully opened
there will not be sufficient supply to
fill them. This is evident to the most
casual observer. Petroleum occupies
the most important position In the
worlds economy today that it has
ever held, and it is becoming con-
stantly more Indispensable.

TYPHOID GERMS.

The microscope shows that in the blood
of every person suffering from typhoid the
little germs can be found as shown above.
They are supposed to get into the water or
milk we drink. The germs multiply so
that one germ is capable of producing
about one hundred trillion germs in TWEEN
ty-four hours That is why if they ever
get into the water supply OF town they
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease There are exceptions, however,
and they are the persons whose health is
perfect, whose blood is pure, and liver
active. When the germs get into healthy
body they are thrown off with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eightl of all the deaths i'll the
past two years in that city have resulted
from pneumonia.
The best advice we can give is to put the
body into perfectly sound, healthy condi:.
ton. Be assured that you have rich, red
blood and an active liver.
Many years ago Dr. r. V. Pierce, who is
consulting surgeon to the lnvallds' Hotel

best means of putting the stomach, blood

from its use are numbered by thousands.

A Special Wornan's Queen

In Togo, in West Africa, there is
native town. which bears, the simple
and beautiful name of * Amedzowe
But it is not it's name that makes it
remarkable.
Amedzowe is place where the wo-
man question has been settled in a
queer way. The town is ruled by
chiefs, like other African towns; but
there also is "Woman's Queen" who
rules the women only
Whenever the women of Amedzowe
have a quarrel, they must go to the
"Woman's Queen" If a man and
woman have a dispute, they must
carry it before her.
The "Woman's Queen" attends the
mems council meetings to represent
the women of Amedzowe, and she is
treated with immense respect by the
men.
The dignity of "Woman's Queen"
is hereditary, and is passed down from
mother to daughter.
