IN BLAZE OF GLORY.
Mimic War at Fort Monroe Comes to
an End.

Fort Monroe va. June 1.-THE
last half hour of the game between
the army and navy ended at noon to-
day, and ecIipsed all engagements Of
the week in every feature of the spec
taeular possible in sham battle. The
fleet under Admiral Dickins, headed
by his flagship Texas, sailed in single
column close in shore. passed every
gun of Fort Monroe. Every ship Of
the fleet was in action at the same
time and every gun of the fifteen ships
was being served to the limit of rapid
ity. On the one side was Fort Monroe
as a target and on the other Fort
Wool. With equal energy and rapid
ity the forts replied. While the
squadron was one that would be i'm
possible in war, it depicted a scene
which left nothing to the imagination
in the realization of the magnificence
of battle. Every effect was there ex-
cept the effect of the shells. Strategy
and play for position and favorable
conditions was abandoned that the in
spiration of battle might be attained
by the men behind the guns. The
ships proceeded up Hampton Roads
after congratulations had been eX-
changed between Admiral Dickins and
General Wade,

CAN CLOSE The JOINTS.
County Attorney Hoge Of OIathe Gives
Hoch Pointers.

81 am not trying to brag about it, -
said County Attorney C. c. Hoge of
Johnson county today to Governor Hoch,
but want to say to you that I be-
lieve that any county attorney in the
state who is so disposed can close every
open saloon within his county. If I
was county attorney ofWyandotte coun-
ty I could do it. A county attorney
might not be able to get all the boot
leggers and jug sales, but he can shut
the joints"
Il believe you're right" said Governor
Hoch, "and I wish there were more
county attorneys in the state like you"
Then understand that you Will not
pardon this DR.. Wilson without giving
me a hearing?" inquired Mr.. Hoge.
mo, sir, I certainly will not 1 am
here to encourage you county attorneys
to do your duty, not to interfere with
you"
County Attorney Hoge came to Tope-
ka to see about a strong effort which
has been made to secure pardon Tor
DR.. Wilson of Olathe, who was convict
ed by County Attorney Hoge of liquor
selling on a number of counts and SEN
fenced to serve nearly a year in the
county jail and pay fine of $500. A
long petition has been presented TO
Governor Hoch asking that DR.. Wilson
be relieved from paying the fine on the
ground that he has a good reputation,
and has no money. Mr.. Hoge said to-
daX:
This man Wilson has a doctors Of
flee merely as blind. He buys liquor
in large quantities. puts it into pint and
half pint bottles, and adds some harm
less little drug for the purpose of nomi-
nally selling the stuff as medicine, and
then retails' the whisky in immense
quantity. I had his place searched
when he was first arrested and captur-
ed 80 gallons of whisky. I heard that
night that Wilson had received another
consignment of liquor. and the very next
morning had his Office searched again.
The second search resulted in the seiz-
ure of several hundred bottles of beer
Later I had still another raid made,
and captured another lot of whisky
Wilson has property, and some IN
fiuential friends. It appears, however,
that he gave mortgage on his proper
tv to a relative shortly before this trou-
bic occurred. Some people say that the
mortgage was given only a short time
ago. and was dated back through col
fusion with certain officials. At any
rate. we can't get any hold on the pro
perty to pay the costs in the case. But
Wilson has been able to hire plenty OF
LAWYERS, and we believe that he could
nay his fine and costs if he was so in
clined.''

onATHE AFTER A RIPPER.
Has Killed Two Men on the Streets
Recently.

Governor Hoch today offered a re-
ward of $3.50 for the arrest and con-
viction of the party or parties who on
June 10 murdered one Jesse Ransier
at the city of OIathe.
Ransier came to town on June p,
and on the evening of June 10 his
body was found within a block of the
business part of town, lying on the
sidewalk with the skull crushed and
the throat cut. Near the body was a
bloody brick and a Barlow pocket
knife. Johnson county has offered
$3.50 reward, and the governors proc
lamation raises the amount to $500.
The county officials suspect that the
same persons murdered Ransier as
murdered another Olathe man in a
similar manner about two years ago,
and certain suspicious characters are
being carefully watched.

recognized the change in the bearing OF
the German officers since Russia mas
been inextricably involved in the taf
east in that its conviction OF the per

are extremely interesting and TO these

somewhat hOastfully, are probably que

AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Mother and Five Children Slain Near
Independence, Ia.-Husband
Suspected of Crime,

Des Moincs, Ia, Nov. 25.-Mrs. Will
liam McWilliams and her five chill
dren, ranging from three years to IS
years OF age, were found murdered
Friday afternoon at their farm home,
six miles south of Independence, la.
The husband and father, William Nc
Williams, is now under arrest at In
dependence. charged with the crime
The murder was the most brutal in
the history of eastern Iowa. Evident
ly the mother had been killed while
preparing meal, probably dinner, for
when the bodies were found food was
on the stove cooking. She had been
killed by blows of hammer, and her
skull was terribly crushed; then she
had been savagely hacked with a
knife. After her murder, the children
had evidently been called in one by
one and murdered in similar man
mer, for all wore clothing that indicat-
ed that they had been at work on the
farm just before death.
