The interest in The Republicans sub
scription contest is by no means con-
fined to the local districts, as. each
days mail testihes. The boys and girls
have friends in all parts of the country
who are reading OF their ambitious and
strenuous efforts to win for themselves
a valuable educational scholarship, and
are coming to their aid with subscrip-
tons and coupons clipped from the
daily Republican.
BIG BOOST FOR BUCKEYE.
Yesterdays mail brought in new pre-
paid subscriptions from Buckeye, ag-
gTegating over twelve hundred votes
to be credited to Eva Young the Mesa
contestant, who shot up in the list a
few days ago like a skyrocket and by
another jump on Monday landed in
second place. 1t is evident she is a pos
sible leader and the contestants who
have held the first few top places have
been extremely surprised by this girls
fast work. She is certainly a hummer
and Will no doubt make them work hard
to keep pace with her
Yesterdays mail also brought orders
and coupons to be credited to Ben Kim
Der, Byrda Shot, Francis Crowley,
Harry Kerr, Eva Young and Sidney

COUNTRY BOYS CLIMBING UP.

tarry long at scholarship headquarters
but hurried away with a cheerful
smile after more subscriptions. These
are the kind of hustlers that win in
any race. they are the boys that make
successful, progressive men in the
world of affairs
AFTER THAT TURKEY.
More than one contestant came into
the office today and avowed that he
was going to have that turkey. They
are inquiring as to the number of new
subscriptions to their credit already.
and each seemed perfectly satisfied
that he could get enough new subscrip-
tons between now and November oath
to land Mr.. Turkey alright.

A good many who attended the dem

night wonder how ia the world Eu-
gene Brady O'Neil restrained himself.
His remarks We're exceedingly brief.
The address was purely perfunctory.
1t was the first time anybody had ever
seen Mr.. O'Neill brief, perfuuctory or
| self-restrained, when there was an
audience around.
The secret OF it came out yesterday.
Tt was announced that Mr.. O'NeiH had
hired the Hardwick theater for Thurs
day night for his own exclusive use.
Nobody win be admitted except him
self and those who shan go to hear.
Mr.. O'Neil viii cover the whole ground

the dark ages of legislation in this
territory and then il win be turned for

viii be in the future. so that the audi
ence may see the difference and may
be able to see how fast things are pro-
crossing.
1t is also thought that the speaker

The democratic central committee is
put to no additional expense by this
move of Mr.. O'Neill's. The whole cost
of advertising in the newspapers and
by handbills has been met by him sim
gle handled and alone He wants an
audience and he is willing TO pay for it
at the current market rates. Anytime
that he may not consume himself at
the meeting willy be donated to others
who may have had second thoughts
and desire to express them on any
subject under the sun.

KirsChner's Money
Cause Of Trouble.


and In It he placed his money. This
was locked and the key was left hang
ing on nail, on which hung some Of
his wite'sclothing. The money was
kept there until taken, as alleged, BY
Harris and the woman.
The evidence yesterday disclosed
that DR.. Bennett, who was first arrest
ed for alleged participation in the affair
had come here from Iowa and had
made q speciality Of treating eyes and
nervous diseases. Mrs. Kirschner
had heard Of him and one day stopped
him On the street and asked him to
call at her house to treat her. He did
so and, 1t is said, she unfolded a plan
to him for an elopement, complaining
Of her treatment at the hands Of her
husband. She unlocked the trunk In
which the money was kept. 90 II Is
told, and showed him the money, be-
counting t72O in gold.
These facts he mentioned to Harris
In a casual way and Harris immedi-
ately suggested that they get hold Of
the money and divide IL. Bennett de-
Clined. FINALLY Harris secured two
tickets to Kansas City, which he
showed to Bennett and others it ap-
pears. and eloped with the woman,
deserting her in Kansas City, but
keeping the cash. She was found By
the police and the authorities were
notified. After long chase Harris
was captured in Portland, Oregon, and
brought back FOR trial.
Harris was bound over to the dis
trIct court in default Of . $4,000 bond.
The charge against him Is grand
larceny.

The following from the Topeka
Capital tells the story Of a former
Abilene mans trouble about taking
care Of bis money:
Rather new feature Of the story
connected with the arrest and trial Of
Walter Harris, charged with clipping
with Mrs. Tom Kirschner, and $3.50 Of
her husbands money, a few weeks ago,
was brought out in the preliminary
yesterday, when Kirschner told of how
he didn't know what to do with his
money. He had placed money in the
bank and the bank failed, Kirschner
losing all his money. He had loaned
money to q private individual and
through defective papers had lost that,
Thoroughly convinced Of the dishon-
esty Of the world he had kept his
money at home, leaving II with his
wife--and now It's gone at the age Of
66. Kirschner. who is industrious
and economical, Is without 9 dollar
save what he can earn at daily work.
Kirschner told on the witness stand
Of his hard luck. how he had at first
placed his money in the bank at abb
lene where he formerly lived. He
added to bis account until there was q
amount to his credit.
About this time the bank failed and
Kirschner lost all. That made him
Of banks and he next loaned
his money to a rather prominent
larmer who, when the time came, de-
Dlined to pay the money. The papers
which had been made out we're deiec-
live and again KirSchner lost every
hing.
Then Kirschner built o double
trunk. 1t was a trunk inside q trunk
