QUEER CHRISTMAS.
Eastern Kansas Covered With Dande-
lions: Western Kansas With Snow.

There is inspiration enough in the
above freezing temperatures and the
clear deep blue sky today to furnish a
theme for writer's of Christmas carols.
There is not a snow drift to be seen
anywhere in this part of the state and
the gentle breeze which is blowing
scarcely moves the columns of smoke
from their locations about the smoke
stacks above the banked furnaces of
the citys manufacturing plants.
The streets of the city were throng-
ed during the early morning hours with
men and women enjoying the beauties
of the perfect day, strolling, waiting for
the hour for the Christmas dinner to
arrive. Few wraps Of the winter varle-
ty were in evidence and then not as
necessities but because they were new
and there was a desire to show them.
Dozens of people stopped this morn
ing on their way down town or return
ing home to pick a handful of the little
yellow flowers from the dandelion beds
occupation for natives of this section
of the country to pick outdoor blooming
flowers at this season of the year even
though they were from the stems of the
hated summer dandelions.
All western Kansas is deeply covered
with a blanket of pure white and the
snow extended even to the eastern half
of the state but in that part of the
country the moisture is needed for the
fall sowing of wheat which a few
shekels to the purses of the farmers
of that part of Kansas. 1t was expect
ed that the heavy fall of snow in west
ern Kansas would affect this part of
the state and that a low temperature
would prevail today with other threat
ening conditions. For once the predic-
ton was wrong and everyone is glad
that the slip occurred.

FOoTPADs GOT NOTHING
Held Up Women Returning From
Shopping Expeditions.

The police are securing the city for
trace of highwayman, supposedly
colored. who held W. two women last
evening but whose attempts at rob-
berry resulted in small returns. So far
the clues have not turned out salts
factorily.
A Mrs. Bradford, who lives at 113s
North Kansas avenue. was walking
along Van Buren, street near Third
when a negro jumped out. snatched
her purse and ran away. The purse
contained so cents in money, a check
and some valuable papers. The hold
up took place at O'Clock.
Between and 9 o'clock Mrs. w. s.
Miller, wife of w. S. Miller, a drug
gist at Sixth and Topeka avenues,
was returning home from a shopping
expedition up town and as she walked
past the African Methods church,
corner Seventh and Topeka avenues,
a man jumped out and told her to
throw up her hands. He then follow
ed up his command by grabbing at
her throat. She screamed for help
and frightened the man away. She
did not give a clear description of the
highwayman to the police and does
not know for sure whether he was
white or black. The man did not
secure anything.

HOLDING A HEBREW.
Police Suspect He Beat a Woman at
100 Monroe Street.

A Hebrew junk dealer, giving the
name of Solomon Abrams, is being held
for investigation by the police, under
suspicion that he may have committed
crime.
This morning about 1 o'clock other
residents of the rooming house at 12O
Monroe street, heard a woman's voice
screaming for help in Abrams room on
the second floor. The screams stopped,
but this morning the other people in the
house found evidence of struggle, and
called the police. Abrams denies that
he had woman in his room last night,
but set of furs, a fascinator and a
skirt were found in the hallway near
his room where the disturbance was
in the house, heard an alteration and
loud talk, followed by a GRIP of help"
in woman's voice. The same disturb
ance was heard by c. A. Reamer, an
other roomer. Reamer thought the He
brew was choking some woman, but did
not interfere.
The police in a careful examination
failed to find any blood stains or other
clues to a tragedy, and are inclined to
rel with some woman he had taken to
his room, and after severely beating
her and tearing off most of her cloth
ing had thrown her out of the house.
At noon the officers were still Sweat
ing the suspect, but he had steadily
refused to admit that he had anything
to do with the case. There was some
slight evidence of a fight in his room,
and the woman's clothing was strewn
down the hall and stairway.
The police have received no report
from other sources which would help
to establish the identity of the woman
in the case.

| 1t was the voice of John L. Sullivan
| in its peculiar rumble, which once
| heard can never be forgotten. The
utterance was in a tone of combined
surprise and incredulity. He was Sit
| ting in the diInfnutive dressing room
\ of a local theater, where he had been
| delivering his monologue and doing
his sparring speciality with his former
enemy, Jake Kilrain, and was recover
| ing his breath when his attention was
| called to the classification of pugilists
| which caused his wonder and sur
prise.
"Jeffries, Jackson, Corbett, Demp-
| sey," he murmured, "and me left out.
Why, the men who made up that list
go, let it go. The public knows where
I stand. They've left out Jack Nc
Auliffe, too, the best fighter who ever
put on glove, bar none. Well, what
can you expect when the game has
got to what it is today, when there's
only two states where any one can
fight i'll, and this here condition
brought about by the men who say 1
amt among the ten best fighters that
there ever were?'
John L. paused after delivering this
convincing statement and reflected.
He seems to improve with the years,
and those who knew him in his palmy
days Is years ago would scarcely
recognize the literary John L. of to-
day. He has been steadily working at
his stage stunts for two or three
years, and has gradually acquired
competence for his old age after dis
sipating more than million. He has

what's the use of talking about 1t,

The voice of Mr.. Sullivan brought
into the room the renowned Jake Kill

than Mr.. Sullivan, but who is appar-
emily as quick in his movements as a
cat, despite the length of time since
he fought his last real ring battle. Mr..
Kilrain is a Baltimorean, and spends
most of his time in that city when not
touring with Mr.. Sullivan. But Mr..
Kilrain had little comment to make
upon the classification of pugilists
which had aroused Mr.. Sullivan.
What ice does it cut?'' asked Mr..
Kilrain apropos of the classification.
