TRAIN HELD BY JACUAR.
Top of His Cage Knocked OF by Roof
of Tunnel.

Colorado Springs. July 17.-More
than two thousand people and four
passenger trains on the Colorado Mid
land have been held at a tunnel Two
miles west of Manitou by a fierce
South American jaguar. Before he
was captured the animal clawed Jo-
5eph Bennett, of this city, cutting a
severe cash across the right leg. Miss
Delmon, passenger, became fright
eued, and in an endeavor to scale a
high cliff. fell distance of 20 feet,
breaking her leg.
The jaguar and a polar bear occu-
pied two compartments in large cage
that was loaded on a fat car of the
train, belonging to q circus. The cage
was too high to enter the mouth of
the tunnel and as the cage struck the
roof of the tunnel it was torn off.
The keeper threw on the air brakes,
stopping the train. He threw rocks at
the bear and fired blank cartridges
at the jaguar to keep them from
escaping. The animal crawled under
the car, and during the efforts to
drive it into another cage Bennett re-
ceived his injuries. The animal was
finally driven into a small cage. but
before the door could be closed the
train started and the jaguar again
leaped for liberty. 1t dashed through
the tunnel, but upon emerging at the
other end found itself in a narrow cut
After some effort the animal was
again captured and placed in its cage.

WILSON MAY RETIRE.
In Consequence of the Revelations Re-
garding the Cotton Scandal.

Washington, July 17.-President
Roosevelt's denunciation of the cotton
leak scandal is taken here as an in
vitation to Secretary James Wilson of
the agricultural department, to resign
his portfolio. Roosevelt's directions to
Moody could not have been more pre-
else. 1t is expected that as a result
Wilson will get out within a few days
The president is said to be very
angry over Wilson's admitting that
knowingly or otherwise the depart
ment had been used by ''set of gam
blers" to make fortunes at the public's
expense and to the utter disgrace of
the government. AS result every
person mentioned in the report of Sec
rotary Wilson as having been connect
ed with the affair may have to face
indictment. Attorney General Moody
wired the department of justice that
the entire machinery of the national
government must be put in motion to
locate every guilty person so that each
may suffer according to his or her
deserts.
The agricultural department is hav-
ing a complete recanvass of the cotton
and tobacco fields. If the discrep-
ancies in the real conditions are great
new June report will be issued.

BACK TO OLD MISSOURI.
Can't Put Her Insane OF on Kansas
to Care For.

The state board of control has re-
fused the request of the probate court
of Ellsworth county that Henry Rex
roth be committed to the asylum, on
the ground that Rexroth is a citizen
of st. Joseph, Mo. The Ellsworth
county authorities have been instructed
to "deport'' Rexpoth to st. Joseph. as
quickly as possible.
Several other cases of similar ma
ture have come before the board, and
it will be the boards policy to refuse
to receive all applicants who are I'M
able to prove that they are citizens of
Kansas.
Thomas Sondego, a Philippine boy,
has also been refused admission to the
Kansas insane asylums, on the ground
that he is not citizen of the United
States, though it is admitted that he
has been in Kansas for two years. 1t
is likely that the state board of con-
troll will secure the assistance of the
United States hospital for the insane
at washington in caring for this case.
1t is a queer case in which the board
holds that citizenship does not follow
the flag.

Japan's Terms stiu Unknown.

London, July I'm Routkowski,
Russian financial agent in London, in
formed the Associated Press today that
he had not received his appointment to
the peace commission. though he ex-
pected to accompany the p1enipotentiar-
les to Washington.
He said: Japan has not yet intima-
ted her terms and the reports of her
alleged terms are generally speculations.
Hints have been dropped to Russia
from time TO time through British and
other sources but nothing positive has
yet been proposed and we have been in
formed that Japan will lay her definite
proposals only before the Washington
conference. The japanese have great
confidence in M. Witte and NJ. White
has great admiration for them. The
personnel of Russia's commission
should convince the Japanese that peace
depends on the reasonableness of their
terms I believe Russia's acceptance
of peace proposals is a greater show of
strength than a continuation of the
struggle for the sake of pride. Ending

WANTS ANIMAL POLICEMAN.
Mrs. C. G. Foster Thinks That Brutal
Treatment of Animals Is Overlooked.

Mrs. c. G. Foster, who is interested
in the local Humane society, will pre-
sent petition to the city council ask
ing for the employment of an additional
patrolman on the police force, whose
sole duty shall be to look after violators
of the ordinance prohibiting cruelty to
animals. Mrs. Foster claims that the
present police force hasn't been looking
after violations of this kind and that
numerous instances have been called to
her attention where vigilance has failed
of exercise. On that account she asks
that specially designated officer be
appointed.
The petition is now being circulated.
1t is doubtful however, the council
men say whether the appointment of
an extra policeman will be made They
don't believe the petition is of sufficient
Importance to warrant employing addi-
tional help. Instructions, refurbished
and revamped, that beating up of cows.
horses, etc, will not be allowed will
probably be issued by Chief Goodwin.

MAY BE TOO LATE.
Morris County After Man in New
Mexico Prison.

Morris county wants to get posses
sion of prisoner named Harvey II.
Green, who is needed in Morris coun-
tp to answer to the charge of Jail
breaking, burglary and larceny. Green
will be released Wednesday from the
territorial prison at Santa Fe, n. M,
and the sheriff of Morris county is
trying to get things in shape to be at
the prison door to meet him.
Indications are now that the sheriff' S
fierce will lose its race. On Saturday
the representative of the county
came to Topeka to get the necessary
papers. Attorney General Coleman
was away. and nothing could be done
This morning they were down again,
and found out that their papers We're
not properly drawn. and would have
to be fixed Up. So the sheriff hustled
back to Morris county to have the
necessary changes made. and on
Tuesday morning will be back in To-
peka to get the requisition. Then he
will start for Santa Fe to get his man.
1t is thought that by getting the aid
of the sheriff of the county in which
Santa Fee is located, the prisoner can
be arrested and held as he steps out
of prison, on the ground that he is Il
fugitive from justice.

RYAN IN POLITICS.
Wall Street Magnates Aspires to Vir-
ginia United States Senatorship.

Richmond. Va, July 17.-Thomas F.
Ryan. of Equitable fame, aspires to de-
feat Senator Daniel by electing himself
to the senate. He is placing money
around with the County committees,
supporting their friendship or buying it.
All the political departments of rail-
roads, canals and boat lines are for him.
From Wall street he is controlling all
these agencies to elect men to the legis-
lature who will send him to the senate.
To all this Wall street support is
added the federal officials who say there
is no show to elect Republican, and,
that being the case, they favor Ryan
They seem to be working under orders,
as all are plugging for him, and their
influence in town and county primaries
is OF great value to Ryan.
Unless there is a strong fight put up
Ryan will be elected. The people seem
TO know little Of him. He is working
quietly and does not want to be found
out, feeling that if the people should
find out that Wall street and federal
officials are working for him there
would be some sort of a bolt or an op-
position that defeated a similar game
by the same parties in the Missouri leg
islature this year. It means the hottest
fight in this state since the days of Ma
hone and Wise.

TO CAUSE EMPLOYERS ARREST
Statesmen in New York Form Sunday
Closing Organization.

New York, July 17.-Salesmen en-
ployed in retail stores on the lower
east side. who year in and year out
work from IA to 16 hours a day, seven
days in a week. have determined to
form an organization with the object
of compelling the police to enforce
the Sunday closing law. They will ask
that a special detail of police be as
signed each Sunday to arrest their
employers if they open. A majority of
the employers, it is claimed, who are
now forced by competition to keep
open seven days a week would be glad
to have the law enforced.
Ten thousand demons gnawing away at
ones vitals couldn't be much worse than
the tortures of itching piles. Yet there's
cure. Doan'S Ointment never fails.

So the management has decided to
abandon the afternoon programs at the
