Lawrence Woman Returns After
Thirteen Years Wandering.

Lawrence. Kan, March 31.-Miss
Alice NJ. E. Clarke has arrived in Law
renee. She is heiress to quite a large
fortune left her over year ago by
her father. For over thirteen years
prior to her return yesterday the reIa-
tives and friends of Miss Clarke we're
ignorant of her Whereabouts and
though Attorney NJ. A. Gorrin search
ed all over the west for the missing
heiress last August and succeeded in
tracing her to Seattle. Wash, he there
lost final track of her.
Thirteen years ago Miss Clarke, who
is the daughter of a farmer of Usage
county, Robert Clarke, had a quarrel
with her step-mother and left home
Her father was only a struggling far
mer and the girl in anger vowed never
to acQuaint her folks of her where
abouts. She went west and supported
herself. sometimes working as a do
nestle and thus drifted all over the
west. After the daughters departure
the father prospered and when he died
over a year ago left a fortune of about
$40, 900. He had no other children and
the stepmother and daughter were the
only heirs.
Miss Clarke's share of the estate
will amount to over 10000 and she
was entirely unaware of her good luck
until she returned to Lawrence this
week.

s1,OOO,OOO IN CASH.

Cleveland, O., March 31.-The Federal
Trust company today made an assign
ment to the Guardian Trust company.
The action is stated to have been taken
as a result of the disappearance of a
prominent official of the Federal Trust
company. Reports are in circulation
that a shortage has been found in the
funds of the concern.
While no statement has been filed as
yet by the Federal company, it is un-
derstood it will turn over about $1,000
900 in deposits to the assignee.
It's total assets will be about $4,000
00O The Federal Trust company has
a capital stock of $1.5Oo.OOo. 1t has a
surplus fund of $50. OG0 and about $780,
600 undivided profits.
According to it's last report it has
50, 1873, 1862 in loans and discounts. $45,-
300 real estate loans, owned s72S,OoO
stocks, bonds and mortgages.
It's last statement showed individual
deposits of 81. 593, 1928. but officials state
the deposits were about $lO0O'ooo al
the close of business last night.
An agreement was practically reach-
ed between the directors OF the F'edefal
Trust company and the Guardian trust
company several days ago providing Tor
the merging of the two concerns. The
disappearance of the Federal company
official, however, precipitated matters
and the directors decided that an as
signment would probably avoid a run
on the bank and protect all interests.

Shop.

Boston, March 31-The Union Trust
company closed it's doors today. The
Union Trust company was incorporated
in 1888 with a capital of 100000. The

James w. Dumphy, G. Edward Smith
and C. A. Stone.
The liabilities of the company are
placed at 81, 600. OOO with nominal assets
of about the same amount. The difficult
ties of the concern are attributed to

was stated that the company had been
temporarily enjoined by the supreme
court and that the application for a
permanent injunction was returnable

POLITICIANS WAKE UP.
Some Wants of the Mitchell County
HustIers.

Beloit, Kan, March 31-This city is a
great political center just now. Now
that politics is getting a little warmer,
the Beloit politicians are not a little
bit afraid to. ask for what they want.
A revised list of candidates for several
offices is given out by hearsay as fol-
lows: Delegate at large to Republican
national convention, Captain w. H.
Mitchell; state senator, /. D. Young;
for the legislature. A. G. Mead; sheriff
T. G. Chubbic; county clerk, Frank
Soper; clerk of court, Rev. J. A. Bull;
register of deeds, D. T. Rowles and ].
w. McGhee; county attorney, ]. F.
Knight and c. L. Keagy.
The friends of John w. Mcbride of
the Beloit Times will be glad to see
him succeed S. H. Dodge of the Gazette
as regent of the State Normal.
Nor are the Beloit Democrats so slow
to go after offices. For state treasurer,
D. A. Freeman; for state senator, Slater
White; for the legislature, George Car
ney; for. sheriff, D. A. Van Hook.
. The next best town in Mitchell coun-
ty is Cawker City. 1t isn't a county
seat like Beloit. Her people appear to
be contented with ex-Judge Clark A.
Smith for justice of the supreme court.

DROVE THE HORIZONS OUT.
Ten Elders Had Been Preaching in
Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Kan, March 31.-About ten
Mormon elders have been holding
meetings in this city and the sur
rounding country for the last 80 days
with Indifferent results. Their meet
ings in the country have been in school
houses and, in this city, on the streets.
They are Utah Mormons and have
been working hard for converts, but
the recent investigation in Washing
ton which showed that polygamy was
practiced openly and upheld by the
Mormon church, incensed the farmers
against the elders.
A few days ago the elders secured
the use of the school house and went
there to have all day meetings. Farm
ers gathered and while some were in
favor of chasing them out others were
in favor of letting them stay until the
time for which they had engaged the
school house had expired. The latter
was decided upon and last night they
were notified to leave the country
They did so at once. In Usage town
ship, they made a house to house can
vass and made several converts.

FORT sCOTIss POSTMASTER
Lowe Is to Resign, It Is Said, in
Favor of Judge Cheney.

Fort Scott. Kan, March s1.-The
Tribune says:
Under the postoffice sale that was
made with the Fort Scott postoffiee two
years ago by Congressman Bowersock,
Postmaster Elden Loves tenure to
that office expires tonight at midnight.
The chances that Judge Cheney will be
entered into at that time by Congress
man BowersOck. If Mr.. Bowersocks has
his way President Roosevelt will today
or tomorrow accept Mr.. Loves reSlgna-
ton and Immediately appoint Judge
Cheney. 1t is not at all an improba bill
ty that the appointment of Mr.. Cheney
will be announced from Washington in
a Gay or two.
Mr.. Lowe is quoted as having declared
in the last campaign that he would not
withdraw his resignation as postmaster.
But it is quite certain that a move has
been made to thwart the object of the
pOstoffice compact. An effort VIII be
made to either have the resignation
ignored or pigeonholed for a time, pend
ing the settlement Of the contest for the
Republican nomination for congress in
this district.
If MI. Allen gets the nomination. he
will stand against the appointment of
Judge Cheney and will have much in
fuence
The Fort Scott postoffice fight will be
taken directly to President Roosevelt
with a view to having him repudiate
the idea of swapping federal offices for
political pulls. 1t is believed the presf-
dent will not stand for the deal.
Under the postoffice agreement that
was entered into two years ago, Colonel
Richards was to permit Dan Campbell
to be sent to the legislature-that is, he
was to acquiesce in the nomination and
election of Dan. He did so. Another
stipulation of the contract was that c.
o. Humphrey, the present assistant
postmaster, was to hold over under
Judge Cheney 80
