Return to the Capital.

To Which the Statesman Re-

Much Cheering and Handshak.
ing Indulged In.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-M. Witte
arrived here at s:25 a. m. today and
was accorded very hearty reception
by a large crowd of officers and 9TH
ers. In a brief speech replying to
welcoming address, M. Witte spoke
clearly, saying that he was deeply
touched by the welcome with which
he was received. When he left st.
Petersburg in July small delegation
of officials accompanied him to the
railroad station to bid him farewell.
There was no public demonstration
whatever. Today there were seven or
eight times as many officials, despite
the very early hour of the trains ar
rival, and an enthusiastic crowd of five
to six hundred people was present
Among the officials present were
Baron Nolde, general secretary of the
commission of commerce.; General
Durnoir, adjutant to the minister Of
the interior; NJ. Wyschnegradslky, for
merly financial minister and now di-
rector of the International CONNER
cial bank; NJ. Kobenko, privy council
chancellor, and many others.
The crowd had collected near where
NJ. Witte would descend from the
train, and when he appeared they
broke out into long and loud cheers
to which NJ. Witte bowed acknowl-
edgment Inc spokesman then du-
vanced and read the address of well
come, all in the meanwhile standing
0areheaded. The address read:
"You have accomplished a difficult
| task, and the nation is grateful to you
You have given the credit for your
success to Emperor Nicholas, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Emperor William of
| Germany, and the press. Y0SI have
forgotten only yourself. We, how
ever, fully appreciate your services to
-
at the Washington homestead at
! Mount Vernon will serve as a mark of
the token of the union between the
two nations. You have done much.
For ourselves and for those who
are absent we will once more shout a
hearty hurrah.''
When the cheer had died away NJ.
Witte, who seemed deeply touched by
the sincerity of the welcome, advanced
| a few steps and delivered his reply.
He said: As
ct was so little prepared for this
kind of a reception that must ask
your pardon for the incoherence of
my words. I have performed my duty
WE'LL because 1 have strictly 'obeyed
his majesty's instructions, because
circumstances favored me, because the
world is weary of this bloody war, be-
cause all classes of American society.
from the president down, were in
sympathy with my and your cause, be-
cause was true to my country and
| her and your interests.
M Whites last word was followed
by further loud and hearty cheering
after which, slowly advancing toward
the train, he shook hands with the
and his friends or former colleagues.
The crowd followed closely toward the
door where an open car was waiting
AS soon as NJ Witte was seated the
coachman started his team and as he
drove away the crowd broke out into
a succession of loud cheers.

THROWN INTO CREEK.
Glass Spirit Is Dampened at Washburn
Last Night.

The freshman and sophomore classes
of Washburn college clashed last even
ing on the banks of the Shunganunga
and for some time fought a battle for
supremacy, the result OF which was
that 25 freshmen were overpowered,
captured and thrown headlong into the
muddy waters OF the creek
Last nights fight was the result of
the ordinary rivalry existing between
the two classes and on the part of the
freshmen it was an attempt to get even
with the sophomoreS for interupting a
freshman party about a week ago. AT
this party which was also held down
in the woods of the Shunganunga creek,
the sophomores swept down upon the
unsuspecting freshmen and got away
with their cider. Last night the Sopho-
fnores took a keg OF cider and other
refreshments down to the banks of the
creek, expecting to have a blowout of
their own. After a. tramp of several
miles the sophomores deposited their
keg of cider in the shadow of a high
embankment. At about ten O'Clock 25
freshmen swept over the embankment
and made a raid upon the keg. The
sIaught and getting the lower class men
as fast as they descended the bank
threw them into the creek.
Some of the grittiest of the first year
men stayed and fought for the posses
sion of the keg of cider until repeated
duckings in the muddy water dampened
their enthusiasm and thinned their
fighting blood. Many of the men were
ducked three and four times and until
they were scarcely able to climb the
embankment and make their escape.

ALI A MISTAKE SAYS ROBE.
Race Horse Man Claims He Had Only
Overdrawn Account.

Marshal Lambertson of the city
court returned from st. Marys Mission
this morning, bringing with him Croll
Robb who is charged with passing
several forged checks in this city as
we'll as at Hoyt. The specific charge
which is causing Robb the trouble at
this time is that he passed a SO
check on John Richards. The check
is made out on the Hoyt State bank
and was turned down when presented
as there were no funds in the bank
with which to pay it.
Since then several other checks of a
similar nature have found their way
to the bank. Robb is a follower of
the race track and is the owner of sew
eraI runners which are. said to be bet
ter than the ordinary. He says that
the matter is all a mistake and that he
has simply overdrawn his account
with the bank of Hoyt, and that he
has done business with it for several
years. H. C. Lindsey signed a release
bond and Mr.. Robb was not locked up.

DON'T WANT TO GO OUT WEST.
Kansas Teachers Prejudiced Against
the Short Grass Country.

s'This is the greatest teachers agency
there is going" sad Frank r. Dyer,
assistant state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, as he worked away on
a list of counties which still need school
teachers for the ensuing term. by the
assistance of the daily papers, we are
able to put a lot of teachers where they
are needed.
Kansas has plenty of teachers; the
trouble is that there is sort of a pre-
judice against going to the far western
counties. There should be no such pre-
judice, for the people who live out there
are just as nice people as you will find
anywhere. The pay is from $40 to $50
per month, which is, about as good as it
is anywhere in the state. Cheyenne
county still needs about 20 teachers
Sheridan needs Is and Sherman wants
8. l expect that we will have these
needs very soon filled. It is possible
that some of the districts which are un-
able to get teachers will send their chill
dren to some neighboring district This
will not cost them any more than hir-
ing a teacher, but it will make a longer
walk for the children.
miss Julia Stone, superintendent OF
Cloud county, writes that all the posi-
tionS in that county are filled, and a
similar report comes from Geary coun-
ty. These counties each needed a few
teachers. The places are being filled uF
gradually from east to west, and ]
think that we will be able to put the
teachers where they are needed
