dramatization of another novel, 'The Man on the Box it was arranged to move The Prince Chap to Joe N ebnrs theatre on Broadway, where it will prob ably run throughout the season The Putnams who will publish The Prince Chap, say that the interest in the play has greatly increased the demand for the novel, which is a particularly charm ing story. It has happened before that characterization has had an important in fiuence in the popularity of a book. Such a case was Barrie's Little Minister which The Prince Chap, in very general way, resembles.
 In his book "The Kaiser as He Is." issued by the Putnams, M. Henri de Noussanne maintains that William II has more than once visited Paris incognito. Now, in a recent number of the Echo de Paris, M. de Noussanne cites another witness to prove tnls habit of the Emperor. He states that a certain diplomat recently told him positively that the Kaiser had many times made trips to Paris dressed as a motor-car mechanic or stoker. The same informant expressed the belief that the Kaiser was so pleased with this style of travelling that he was quite certain to come to Paris again in the near future In the same extraordinary disguise.
 Edward s. Ellis, the distinguished writer of juvenile books, has just com pleted series of three new ..Indian books'
 Deerfoot in the Forest,
 Deerfoot on the Prairies,
 Deerfoot in the Mountains,
 which even surpass in thrilling incident and exciting situation his former works in the same line The first of the series is, "Deerfoot in the Forest" now offered to the public. The plot consists in the rescue of the two boys, George and Vic- tor Shelton, who had gone on hunting expedition, not knowing of the Indian uprising there. Deerfoot, a Christianized Indian, hearing of their danger, starts in pursuit and arrives just in time to save their lives. The three friends now try to get back, but meet with many hair breadth escapes before the never-failng strength and cunning of Deerfoot finally surmounts all obstacles.

To Life Insurance Policy Holders.

At the beginning of my story, nearly a year and half ago, I made certain ac- cusations against the management of the three big life insurance companies.
 I knew when I began my story that the big life insurance companies were in the hands of grafters and thieves, just as are the great banks, trust companies, railroad companies, and big corporations and trusts.
 This I know. and. in plain language, said it.
 Today the press of the world is devot- ing it's space news and editorial, to a re- cital of the contemptible and heinous crimes of the New York Life and the Mutual Life Insurance Companies-NOT AS I RELATE THEM, BUT AS THEIR OWN OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES PUB LICLY CONFESS THEM.
 In the July installment of my story l called upon policy holders to sign cou- pon blank inserted in Q EVERY BODY'S MAGAZINE, and send same to me that I might speak for them in a plan to fur their their interests.
 In response to my call I have received up to today, October 1, 16,307 answers, representing 55,165,916
 As soon as I received number of sig natures sufficiently large to warrant it., I quietly began operation.

new TRAFFIC DEAL.
Have Santa Fe and Rock island
Joined to Break Harriman's Power?

Denver. Col, April 1S.-The propect of
the Rock Island to build line to the
Pacific coast through the southern part
of Colorado, has been abandoned, and
instead only slight extensions will be
made in this state.
Traffic agreements that will fevolu-
tiOnize the railroad business of the west
and perhaps break the power of E. H.
Hartman of the Union and Southern
Pacific, have been made between the
Rock Island and the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe.
Local officials of the road have an
nounced that the building of the Belen
cutoff of the Santa FTe. which win ex-
tend from TeXicO on the PecOS valley
branch, to Belen, 27 miles south of Al
buquerque, was begun with the under
standing that the Rock Island will use
the Santa Fe tracks to reach California
points, thus giving the Santa Fe all
the business of the Rock Island Frisco
territory. This will throw millions of
tons Of freight to the Santa F'e annual
ly from Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory.
Arkansas and New Mexico, Whic>S are
spiderwebbed with Rock Island tracks,
and some from Colorado.
The Rock Island will have q direct
route from Memphis to San Francisco,
a thing unheard of before, as trains
We're forced to go through either Den
yer or Ell Paso to get to the coast. Now
that long. needless haul is done away
with and a new middle route between
Memphis and San Francisco has been
discovered.
On its part the Rock Island has prom
ised to build a cutoff between the end
OF it's main Memphis lines, which now
stops at Amarillo, Texas, to Tucum-
carl, N NJ, a distance of about 100
miles. Work has already begun on the
cutoff.
Railroad men say that this is the be-
ginning of the end of the wonderful
sway that E. H. Hartman for the last
few years has had over the trade of the
west.
The Santa Fe will also have improved
connections by means Of the Rock Is
land Choctaw branch between Calves
ton on the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific
coast.
Important traffic arrangements have
also been made between the Rock Island
and the Santa Fe in connection with
Denver terminals, but the railroad men
say that it is not ripe for plucking as
yet.

WICHITA'S way.
Chief of Police Makes a Serious
Statement.
Declares That the Thirty-six
Saloons Pay Monthly 81 $50.
FINES OF GAMBLERS.
Eleven Houses Pay $500 Into
the City Treasury.
Says He win Forfeit $1,000 If
This Is Not True.

Wichita, Kan. April 1s.-At the
regular meeting of the city council
last night Mayor-elect Finley Ross
and the other newly elected officers
assumed control of city affairs. The
chief of police, Frank S. Burt. in his
report at the end of his second term
of two years, created a sensation by
giving publicity to the methods pur-
sued by the police department in the
way of collecting revenue for the city
under the outgoing administration.
The report shows that there have
been thirty-six saloons from which
the monthly collections have aggre-
gated $500, and eleven gambling
houses paying licenses or fines to the
amount of $500 a month.
The names and places of business
of everyone of these persons was
given and exhibit CT of the chief
report included a statement from the
cashier of a Wichita bank to the ef-
feet that he holds $1,000 to be paid
to the hospitals of the city if any of
the statements in the report can be
proven untrue.

GOOD WORD FOR DECATUR.
Citizen of That County Declares It
Better Than Phillips.

Oberlin, Kan, April IS.
To the Editor State Journal:
In yesterdays paper I notice an ar
ticle s'In Central Kansas in which A.
B. White of Philhpsburg, makes a good
showing for his county, but he draws
the line" at the west side of his coun-
ty. This is the same old error that
the citizens of every county in the
northern tier, east of Decatur. have
fallen into, since the day when Doni-
phan county was first marked on the
map. Men who have traveled-whO
have seen the world-in other words
who have been in Decatur county,
know better. Mr.. White gives Mr..
Coburn as his authority, and from the
same authority I wish to show that
Decatur is a better county than Phil
lips county.
Mr.. Coburn's report covers the
years 1903 and 1904. For these two
years the total product Of Phillips
county was $5,464,699, making the
per capita S162.35. The product of
Decatur county for the same period
was S3,66O.42 making the per capita
S210, or s47.65 better than Phillips.
The sole purpose in writing this is to
induce Mr.. White to move his line be-
tween "all good" and mo good" coun-
ties to the west side of Decatur coun-
ty. Yours truly.

Farmer Near Chase.

While hunting for horses on the. old
Three Bar ranch southwest of Chase
Sunday afternoon a farmer discovered
the dead body of a woman lying in an
old VOLTS den, three miles southwest
of Chase and g miles from this city.
The mans dog acted queerly| and
he noticed the animal dig and scratch
in the earth Curiosity prompted
him to see what the dog had discov-
cred. When he rode up to the place
he noticed a part of a females at

had been digging. He informed the
was uncovered. 1t was the body Of
a woman wrapped in well worn
piece of wagon sheet or tent. The
body was bound by three straps, one
around the neck, one around the cen
ter Of the body, and one around the
ankles. 1t had the appearance of be-
ing buried for some time. The body
was well dressed, and the woman had
the appearance of having been buried
in her night robe. Turquoise hair
pins were found in her hair and a
feet. She wore a pair of No. 6 shoes,
made of fine leather Her hair was
black, thick and very long, and one
of her teeth was gold capped The
body was in a good state. of preser-
walton.
She had the appearance of being a
woman that would weigh about $50
inches in height. She may have been
from 25 to 80 years old. On the left
side of her head was a bruise, which
looked as though she had been struck
with some kind of a weapon or in

LIQUOR HOUSE LEAVES.
Salinas New Preacher Mayor Enforc-
ing Prohibitorx Law.

ing PrOhIbItOry Law.
Salina, Kas.. April 1s.-The J. c.
Stevens company, wholesale cigars
and liquors, which has been doing
business in Salina for years. has
packed its Office fixtures, books, ETC.,
and left for Kansas City.
The direct cause of the company s
leaving Salina is the result of the re-
cent election, at which a min
lister of the gospel was elected as
mayor and members of the city .coun-
ell elected who will support the mayor
in his fight on the joints. As a re-
suit of this election, all the joints
have been closed. AT the last meet
ing of the city council an ordinance
was introduced which provides a fine
of 800 and thirty days in jail for the
first violation of the prohibitory law.
The ordinance also provides that all
clubs in which the prohibitory law is
violated will be closed. This is a blow
at the Elks and the Germania, both
of which are strong, and the majority
of the business men belong to these
two organizations.
There is little doubt that the ordi-
nance will be passed at the next meet
ing of the city council. The mayor
and the Good Government league
claim they will close every place
where the prohibitory law is being
violated, as well as every disorderly
house. within a reasonable time. The
liberal element doubt their ability to
