BETTEX STARTS A MISSION.
Austrian Evangelist Decides to Stay
in Topeka.

Paul Bettex, the Austrian evangelist,
whom SO many people have seen and
heard preaching at the corner of Sixth
and Kansas avenue during the last two
months, has decided that Topeka is a
good field for his work and
has accordingly opened ''The
Topeka Gospel Mission" at
Madison and Fourth streets, or 404
Fourth street. The quaint white helmet
with it's insignias which he wore about
Topeka as been discarded, alongside of
the banner, both of which made the
man conspicuous in his wanderings
about the street.
Bettex announces that he will hold
prayer meetings every night from $3.50
to 1880 p. m, and Immediately after
that he will hold a salvation and praise
meetings. He wants "All Saints and
Sinners To Come" In his public in
vitation Bettex says: Boys, won't you
go to heaven with us? Madam, Jesus
invites you to the marriage supper of
the Lamb; and don't you forget to bring
the dear children"

WORE 40 HAIRPINS.
Colorado Murdered Girl Had Extreme
Iy Heavy Hair.

Colorado Springs, Col, Dec. 21.-
The police are as far from a clue to
the solution of the Cutler mountain
murder mystery as ever but their eff
forts are being redoubled.
The last clue that was in their
hands played out this morning when
Mrs. Oneida Hoyt. a pretty hair
was reported to have disappeared, was
found safe at her room in the Clinton
hotel in this city.
Inquiries continue to come from
other cities for detailed description
of the dead girl but in no case has the
sending of the description resulted in
the receipt of further information or
inquiry.
of the dead girl is the conclusion of
the officers that she had a very I'M
usually heavy head of hair. The cor
oner has in his possession no less
than forty hair pins that were taken
out of the coil of hair of the dead girl,
some of them being picked up at the
scene of the attempted cremation of
the body. These hair pins are all of
stiff wire, there being no small fiexi-
BILE ones and the number and strength
of the pins is taken to indicate that
the growth of hair was unusually
heavy.
An increased number of officers are
today engaged in the search through
the hills for evidence that may lead to
the discovery of the identity of the
murdered girl or of her slayer or both.
At their meeting today the county
commissioners will offer a reward of
$1,000 for the arrest and conviction of
the murderer. The excitement in the
city and community over the crime is
growing daily, there being a demand
on the officers from the citizens today
that every possible effort be made to
run down the crime. Talk of lynch
ing the murderer should he be found
out, is heard freely today.

Isaac N. Cooley, of Elk county, who
was convicted on five counts of selling
liquor. and given 500 and 80 days on
each count, was given a Communication
of sentence Tuesday by Governor
Bailey. He will be released on pay
ment of 500 and serving 80 days in
jail. The pardon was recommended
by Judge G.. P. Altman, who heard the
case, and by w. T. Ayres who prose-
cuted. There was also a long petition
in favor of the action. The facts ap-
peared to be that Cooley, who is a good
natured sort of a chap who runs a
little farm, hunts and fishes for a liv-
ing, was used by "joint drug store"
as sort of distributing agent.

SENT 1T TO ATCHIsON.
Freight Rates Cause Auto Purchaser
to Unload 1t There.

New developments have come to light
in the freight rate situation. The ad-
vantage which Atchison has over To-
peka Is shown in the following item
from the Atchison Daily Globe:
Here is an argument in favor of At
Gibson, in the matter of freight rates
VIM. Taylor, an automobile dealer in
Topeka, came to Atchison today to
receive a Rambler which he had ship
ped to him here althoughit was ordered
for DR.. Lyman, a Topeka dentist. The
principal reason for receiving the ma
chine here is that the rate to Atchison
is considerably less than it is to To-
peka. The run to Topeka, which will
be made tomorrow, will serve to test
the machine. 1t is tonneau, with seats
for four, and was run about town this
afternoon.

DODGlNG THE TRUST.
commissioners Try to Defeat the
Bridge Combination

The county commissioners expect to
defeat the object of the bridge build
ers' pool by sending out fifty plans
and specifications of the new Sardou
avenue bridge to bridge builders in
Pennsylvania, Ohio. New York, New
Jersey, Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri,
Kansas, Iowa and other states inviting
them to submit bids at the letting
January 9.
The commissioners, when awarding
contracts for other Kansas river
bridges, found that the bridge builders
in this vicinity have formed a combine
at the lettings and kept up the prices
on the bridges. In one instance all
bids were thrown out as all were uni
formly high and new bids were called
for.
When the contracts for Kansas river
bridges have been let by the county
commissioners the representatives Oh
the bridge companies have peen
known to hold a meeting short time
before the time limit for the receiving
of the bids and agreeing on the bids
they should submit, which was virtual
ly agreeing who should build the
bridge.
There has always been talk. with
pretty good foundation, that there
have been splits of the profits. The
bridge companies, like the book COM
panies, divide the state into different
territory for the different bridge COM
panies and each company has exclu-
sive territory and others are not sup
posed to invade.
The Shawnee county commissioners
have felt the effect of this combine in
many instances, as the bidders sub
United uniformly high prices. This
prevailed at one time until new bid
der appeared on the scene and did not
Join the combine but fought it.
Then the combine fought him by
submitting STRAW" and by bids. If
a bid was lower than the bid of the
man who was fighting the combine it
was allowed to stand if necessary and if
not necessary to use such low bid to
secure the contract it would be with
drawn.
The commissioners have fought this
combine fairly successfully, but to be
sure that the combine will be broken
the bids from all over the country will
be invited.

Interesting Facts

This property is located in the ia
nous Tarryall district of Park county,
Colorado, and consists of seven lode
mining claims, containing about 135
acres. There are several well-known
veins exposed on this property. The
King Solomon, Queen of Sheba, EN-
press Josephine, and other adjoining
claims have been opened, and their
veins are known to cross into the
Almaden.- rr tr5
This company is organized for the
purpose of mining and milling of pre-
cious metals. Active work was begun
on the tunnel the latter part of Aug
.ust, 1903, and is being pushed day
and night by different shifts of men,
This tunnel is to be driven in about
1900 feet, thus gaining a depth of
about 1,400 feet There is an immense
iron dyke passing through part of the
property, carrying gold values assay
ing as high as $40 per ton. There are
several fine assure veins on the prop
erty, one of which has produced in
shipping qualities of the value of $40
per ton. Samples taken from one of
our lodes, known as the Jay Gould
claim, gave returns in gold of over
500 per ton. The immense quantities
of low grade ore can be handled by
our modern machinery, and we are
prepared to make a handsome profit
for our stockholders from ore running
only $40 per ton. Are you going to
be one to share the dividends? Send
