Andrew Carnegie's tomb. The Scotch
man declares in all seriousness that 1t
expresses a sentiment he likes, ana
ne will insist on mis- wishes being car
ried out.
And I want the adjective written
in full" said Mr.. Carnegie. Il want
no id with a dash in it. Every let
ter must be there"
AS reported today by prominent
resident of Pittsburg, an intimate
friend of Mr.. Carnegie, the story
touches John McLuckie, who was
burgess of Homestead during the big
steel strike of 1892. McLuckie went
to Texas and had hard struggle for
a livelihood. Several years ago Pro-
fessor Van Dyke of Rutgers college
was travelling through the lone star
state, and CHANGED to meet Mr.. NC
Luckie They became fast friends.
Returning to the east, Professor Van
Dyke told Mr.. Carnegie of the heroic
efforts the former bdrgess was max
ing for success. Mr.. Carnegie's heart
was touched, and when Professor Van
Dyke finished his story Mr.. Carnegie
said: 1.-THE next time you see Nc
Iuckie tell him he can have anything
he wants"
In the course of few months Pro-
fessor Van. Dyke mad occasion to re-
turn to Texas, and hastened to deliver
the good news.
mo, no." said Mr.. McLuckie, Il do
not want assistance. I'm very much
obliged to you, professor, but I'm a
making good and can continue to do
so if the Lord gives me health"
why, the offer comes from Mr..
Carnegie" answered Professor Van
Dyke.
That's damned white of 'Andy'!'
exclaimed McLuckie.
When Professor Van Dyke repeated
the conversation Mr. Carnegie was de-
lighted with the epigram. He clapped
his hands and said: THAT sentiment
must go on my tomb. 1t will surely be
my epitapn.'
Mr. Carnegie has often told the in
cident, and among his intimate friends
the Carnegie epitaph is an open secret
McLuckie, the author of it, is still IN
Texas.

HAS GONE MONEY MAD
Governor HanIey, of Indiana, Paints a
Dark Picture of Present.

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 11.-"This ma
ton has gone money mad. For ten
years this land has enjoyed material
wealth and prosperity such as the
world has never before seen, and dur
ing that time this madness has come
upon us in full force. We have for
gotten the commandment, Thou shall
not steal and we are taking the po-
sition no matter how money is OBJ
tanned. We cannot continue in this
rut indefinitely and secure in the con-
tinuance of free institutions. The
dangers Of peace will destroy this
country at the present rate just as
certainly as a disastrous war"
Such was the keynote Of a speech
on "The Patriotism of Peace" deliv-
cred by Governor Frank J. Hanley, of
Indiana, tonight at the Y. NJ G. A.
auditorium, in which the Hoosier chief
executive sounded a vehement note of
warning to Americans against allow
ing continuance of graft, official cor
ruption and disregard Of law in the
scramble for plumber
Governor Hanley painted a dark
picture of conditions in the United
States, and insisted that the very life
of the nation was dependant on
speedy return to saner ideas and hon
est methods.

YOUNG GARNETT GOES w
AGAINST THE OLD FOOT
RACE SWlNDLE.
a..ks N.v Found Friend for $1,000
and Is Now Trying to Get
1t Back.

c. F. Garrett, a young sporting
man of Dayton, Wash, was the victim
of a clever game which he alleges was
q bunco. in Pendleton yesterday. The
youth attended the races in Waila
Walla two weeks ago and became oc-
uuainted with an alleged footracer
named c. w. Whitlock. The foot
raver proved good company and when
through unfortunate speculation on
the races he became short of funds,
Garnett gladly advanced room rent
and a meal ticket, according to the
Pendleton Tribune.
The two young men became fast
friends and soon framed up" a plan
whereby they would make a piece OF
easy money Garrett was to return
to Dayton and arrange a foot race be-
tween some local runner and his
friend" Whitlock. He went home ana
knowing two of the boys in the little
town VINO considered themselves fast
he tried to arrange a race. The boys
did not take kindly to the proposition,
however, and he had to notify Whit
lock that he had failed.
Whitlock came to Pendleton, where
he remained for day or So then tele-
phoned to Garnett that ne had ar
ranged a race here and that he needed
$1,000 to back his running. Garrett
did not have the required sum so he
let a friend in on the deal, and after
having secured $3.50, part of which ne
borrowed, so sure was he that he had
a good thing" Garnett set out for this
city. Upon arriving here he bet his
$3.50 with Will Rainwater that Whit
lock could defeat T. C. Morris, another
footracer who appeared upon the
scene, and then telegraphed his friend
in Dayton to come at once and bring
$3.50. The friend arrived in Pendleton
yesterday, but in the meanwhile Gar
nett had become suspicious Of the
game and had gone to O. Caviness who
was holding the stakes, demanding
that his money be returned at once.
This demand was refused and Garrett
sought the aid of the police. Chief
Coffman, officer Joe Scallen of Port
land and officer Scheer quickly raided
the gang and placed Whitlock and Ca
veniss under arrest, releasing Garrett,
the complaining witness, under $25
bail. Caviness and Whitlock were
placed in the city Jail, but Caviness
was later released upon $50 bail. -.
Officer Scallen of Portland states
that he believes the footracers involv-
ed in the deal are a pair of men who
are travelling around the country W. ~
ing a similar game at different points
on the racing ciAuit. A game of a sim
liar description was worked in Salem
at the last state fair, but in that case
the stakeholder disappeared with the
money.

HELD AS BOGUS HERO.
Clergyman Tells Wild Tale Of Train
Wreckers-Is Arrested.

PRINCETON, Ind, Oct. 11.-Rev
w. H. Brooks, a minister of northern
Indiana, was arrested here yesterday,
charged with placing an obstruction
on the tracks of the Evansville & Ter
re Haute railway and then telling
wild story in the hope of gaining a re-
ward
Early yesterday, Rev. Mr.. Brooks
came breatnlessly into the railroad
station and told of having been capt
ured by train wreckers during the
night and of being forced to assist in
placing the obstruction On the track.
After telling his story he fell in a
faint. He said that he was walking
along the track and was captured by
two bandits, but when they mad
searched him and found nothing of
value, they ordered him to help them
place rails and crossties on the track
While working with them, he heard
them discussing the coming of the
train and the plans by which they pur-
posed to rob the passengers when the
train was derailed
He accompanied officers to the scene
of the obstruction, and when they
piled him with questions regarding
the alleged bandits, he became con-
fused and, it is alleged, so contra
dicted himself and got SO mixed up in
lapsed. He is now in Jail, but main
tains that his story is true.

Wards death and that no such estate
had been filed for probate. Not salts
fed with this assurance the woman
came to st. Peter today and visited
the county offices. Although she
learned that no man answering her
husbands description mad been seen
in st. Peter, she still clings to the
theory that her husband is dead and
that his relatives have entered into a
conspiracy to defraud her of his prop
erty.

CLAIRVOYANT DISAPPEARS.
Wife of "Professor" LANYARD Believes
Husband Has Gone to Spirit Land.


ST. PETER, Mimi, Oct. 11.-Pro-
fessor La Ward, spiritualist, clairvoy-
ant, trance medium and man of mys-
terry, has mysteriously disappeared.
His wife, Mrs. Lima Ward, of 406 Sixth
street, S. Minneapolis thinks that the
professor is now numbered with the
spirits he so often summoned, but Nj
collet county officials to whom she ap-
pealed today, think the case is one of
plain desertion.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Ward, she was married to the profres-
sor five years ago and they have two
children. He made a business of delv-
ing in the occult and, under his pro-
fessional name of Professor La Ward,
was wont to travel from place to place
revealing the future to the credulous.
That ne found it profitable is shown by
his wife's description of him, she stat
ing that he was always well-dressed,
displayed several diamonds and car
ried large sums of money.
Professor La Ward disappeared last
July and she has since been unable to
find a trace of him, having been hamp-
cred in ner search by his relatives,
who opposed their marriage. A short
rn ic co;.l ;cf4 ~ fIao

her husband died suddenly in this
city on July and that his estate
would be probated Oct. 8.
On the strength of this statement
Mrs. Ward had her lawyer telephone

Canon City Fruit Crop.

Denver-A Republican special from
Canon City says: The gathering OF
the winter apple crop has begun. This
years crop is an excellent one. having
been exceeded but once or twice in the
history of the county. Not only is the
quantity produced unusual. but the
quality and size of the apples is far
above the average.
Capt. b. F. Rockefellow. one of the
pioneer orchardists of the state, has
200 acres In fruits, mostly apples. He
says his crop this year will be about
5000 barrels. He has sold them In
Texas and has engaged nine cars to
haul them. This crop will be picked
during the next week.
The total shipments Of apples from
the Canon City district will be about
$50 acres. A conservative estimate Of
the value of vegetables, berries and
fruits grown this year is 100000.
