In THE Connecticut Senate last Friday
Senator Donovan, one of the six demo-
cratic members of that body caused a
sensation by saying; "On the authority
of a Senator, / will say that the New
Haven road (neaning the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad) has
paid $40, 900 for senatorial vote, and
| pause for contradiction. So far there
has been 10 contradiction, and this fact
leads many to believe that more than one
member of the Connecticut Senate has
received money for his vote.

strong probability of being nominated,
the people of Alexandria city and cOun-
~, fully approaching his services in the
House OF Delegates at critical time in
the states history, knew that as Lieu

Mr.. Cation withdrew from the race in

IsIPERsONATED a PINKERToN.
\ Drummer Was Caught at his Own
Game and Glad to Quit.

The Leavenworth Times says:
At the boxing exhibition Thursday
night a stranger walked up to Detec-
tive Mcdonald and asked: rs your
name Mcdonald" ?"
On being informed afirmat lively the
stranger extended his hand and said.
MY name is Dyer am head of the
Pinkerton agency at Chicago" The
man was we'll dressed and seemed to
be of standing and respect The de-
tective believed the story at once and
became communicative. Mcdonald in
troduced him to a number of the 9TH
er local officers who all gave him the
welcome usually extended to Pink
erton man.
They finally drifted off into a cor
ner and talked over the boxing and
other things a little while. The strau-
ger did not have the typical language
of a detective, nor the earmarkS of A
sleuth about him and Mcdonald finally
grew suspicious. He summoned Of
f1cer O'Leary and had OLeary ask the
Pinkerton man for his card. The
stranger replied that he had not a
card with him. O'LeaIy drifted away
again and Mcdonald kept trying to
trap his compaion but to little avail
''I think III have a little work for
YOU" the stranger confided to the de-
tective after a while Mcdonald
pricked UP his ears After all, he
thought. his companion might be what
he pretended.
1t would have been all smooth sail
ing had not the impOSter become a
little frightened at his own boldness.
He made several attempts to leave the
hall but Mcdonald watched him too
closely and each time the local Of
ficer's eyes were on him. The contest
being over they all started for the city
hall. The stranger made number
of efforts to get away but each TINE
was frustrated Finally. at police
headouarters he wanted to catch the
train for st. Joseph, but this time he
was forcibly detained. Inside the
Headquarters building the detective
walked over to the rogue's gallery and
pulled out a picture

Swered the stranger
"WeH. that's Oakland Sammy, one
of the most notorious yeggmen in the
country. You'd know him if you were

any credentials you can show them.

FASTEST TRoTrERs MATCHED.
Nancy Hanks to Be Mated With John
A. McKornOn

The announcement that Nancy
Hanks, 2:04, will be bred to John A.
Mckernon, 2:04 Il, has created a great
deal OF interest among all students of
the breeding problem.
Nancy Hanks, 2:04, was in her day
the worlds champion trotter. and
from breeding standpoint her pedi-
gree is a very rich one. She is a
daughter of Happy Medium. and her
dam is by Dictator, and this line of
blood has probably done as much to
produce great trotters as any known
to the -studbool1.
John A. McKernon is a son of Nut
wood Wilkes, 22,116, dam Ingar (dan1
of Thursday, .2:241z9 by Director.
1883, gFapdan Anna Litus dam of
Annie c., 2:23H) by Echo, 1852.
The blood of Nutwood, George
Wilkes and Director is generously dis
tributed through this pedigree, and it
is hardly necessary to enter into a dis
cussian of the value of the blood of
these great stations. A combination
of this blood produced not only John
A McKernon, 2:04 4, but hundreds of
other great trotting race horses.
1t will be noticed that both the dam
and grandam of John A. McKernon,
2:04 Il, are producers, which is one
more proof of his worth as sire. IT
has come to be most generally be-
lieved that the dam has at least equal
influence with the sire in speed pro-
ducing ability and this important in
fuence is strong in the blood lines of
John A. McKernon.

Russian Fugitive Arrives in
Wichita After Long Journey.
Leben Cannot Speak a Word of
English.
RELATES EXPERIENCE
Served in the Cars Army Many
Years.
Escaped Across the Border
Between Two Days.

Wichita, March IA number of ma
tive Russians have landed in Wichita
since the recent Japanese Russian trou-
BILE started. Some of these have come
to America to avoid being drafted in
the army and others have come to start
life anew. after losing everything of
value they possessed. r. Leben, a
brother-in-law of J. Gardner. who con-
ducts a general merchandise store at
sos East Douglas avenue. arrived in
Wichita a few days ago from Berz, q
small town in the province of Kovno,
near the boundary line connecting Ger
many and Russia. Leben has been on
the road since the first part of Decem-
Der, and his account of the life in the
cars domain is indeed interesting. He
stopped in New York City a few weeks.
Leben cannot speak a word of Eng
Iish. He has wife and family in Rus
sia and is q goldsmith by trade. He
told a reporter for the Eagle with his
brother-in-law as interpreter, that bus
mess is stagnant in all the Russian
cities and people have no money to
purchase goods of any kind.
There are only a few able bodied men
who are not now serving in the army,
and these are mostly young What lit
tie business there is in the mercantile
and other lines is done by them Leben
is about 40 years of age, and spent a
good portion of his life in the army,
but objected to serving again when his
regiment was ordered out. So he and
his younger brother made precipitate
getaway one night and he succeeded in
after being captured once or twice.
Leben mana ged to bribe the officers,
but he lost his brother in some way,
and believes he was made to go with
the regiment to the front.
He says it is almost impossible for
anyone to get out of the country, even
women and children. A permit is nee
essary from the government, and it
be given this privilege. To get a permit
he says it is first necessary to get
someone to vouch for his character and
give some plausible reason for going
He did not state why it was harder for
men with shady characters to get a per-
granted the request has to pass through
the hands of no less than 25 officers,
and requires an expense of nearly $35-
Leben didn't take time to get his per-
nit, but took French leave as soon as
his regiment was called out
He conducted a jewelry store in the
town of Berz, but business became so
dull that he practically had nothing to
do for several months He closed out
what goods he could, boxed up the rest
and left them with ihs family He also
brought some tools with him to Ameri-
ca, and is thinking of engaging in the
jeWelry business in Wichita as soon as
he becomes more familiar with the
English language.
Leben seems to feel no sorrow over
the assassination of Grand Duke
Sergius a short time ago He has re-
ceived word from Russia since he left
that the news of the dukes death was
celebrated in many parts of the country
in a quiet way
As soon as I4eben can do so he hopes
to arrange in some way to have his
wife and children join him In America.

GUARANTEED BY ROWLEY G SNOW
Hyomei the Only Cure for Catarrh
Which Returns Your Money If
Not Satisfactory.

It is seldom that a druggist has
enough faith in the medicine he sells
even when prepared by himself to be
willing to refund the money if it does
not cure; but Hyomei has cured so
many cases of catarrh among the Gus
toners of Rowley & Snow that they
offer to refund the money to all who
use it and report that they are not
satisfied.
Hyomei is the simplest and most
convenient remedy for catarrh ever
offered to the public. Breathed
through an inhaler so small that it
can be carried in the vest pocket. for
few minutes four times day, it Will
absolutely kill all the germs of
catarrh and cure the disease. Catarrh
cannot exist where Hyomei is used.
1t has. a twofold action, killing all
the germs in the air passages and
lungs and soothing and healing the
irritated mucous membrane
Some of the most prominent men
gladly give testimonials to Hyomei.
After seeking relief in vain for years
this wonderful remedy has cured
them of catarrh, and it is no wonder
that they want others to know of it.
D. O. Croft. editor of the Nicholas
vile, Ky, News, writes: Ever since
was a young man have been
troubled with catarrh, and in later
years the disease became unbearable
Hyomei has helped me SO much that
wish to publicly speak of its merits,
SO that others afflicted as I have been
may be likewise benefited.
If you have catarrh accept Rowlev
& Shows, 500 Kansas avenue, propo-
sition and use Hyomei. The com
plete outfit of Hyomei costs but 81.
and consists of an inhaler, a medicine
droDper and a bottle of Hyomei.
