A man who was too economical to SUBJ
scribe for his home paper sent his little
boy to borrow the copy taken 10y his
neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over
a dollar stand of bees. and in ten min
utes looked like warty summer squash,
His cries reached his father. who ran to
his assistance, and. failing to notice d
barbed wire fence, ran into it, breaking
it down. cutting handful of flesh from
his anatomy and running 5-dollar pair
of pants. The old COW took advantage
of the gap in the fence and got into the
corn.leld and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran,
upset 4-gallon churn OF rich cream into
a basket Of kittens. drowning the whole
flock In her hurry she dropped 25-
dollar set of false teeth. The baby, left
alone, crawled through the spilled cream
and into the parlor. running 2o-dollar
carpet During the excitement the Oldest
daughter ran away with the hired man,

ON PEACE MISSION.
w. It. Stead Starts on a Tour of the
World.

Paris, Jan. S.-Wm. T. Stead of Lon
don who arrived here yesterday says he
is on his way around the world in the
interest of peace. He declares he is
authorized by the British premier, Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman, to- say
that Great Britain, If no other country
does so, would at the approaching sec
ond peace conference at The Hague
raise the question of taking steps to
provide for the maintenance of inter-
national peace This, Mr.. Stead says,
will be done in the form of two PROPOSE
tions, as follows:
First, that each country participant
ing in the conference appropriate a
sum of money to be used in furthering
the idea Of maintaining international
peace.
Second, that each country participant
ing in the conference render obligatory
the observance of article VIII of the act
of peace conference of 1899 permitting
a third power to tender mediatfon with
out giving offense between two disputing g
powers and also that the participating
powers extend the scope of article VIII
so as to bind the srogress.''
Forces in case of "a declaration OF
war, not to begin hostilities for fort
night, in which interim friendly pow
ers would have the right to intervene in
an attempt to adjust the quarrel.

Proceedings.

Next Saturday.

New York, Jan. S.-Judge Sharpe
of the Maryland court of appeals. who
Is In this city on a visit and is at the
Waldorf-Astoria, held hearing over
the long distance telephone between
this city and Baltimore. The case
was that of Baltimore's mayor and
city solicitor against a corporation
known as the Canton company, which
claims a park In Baltimore called
Canton park.
Baltimore contends that the title
belongs to it. City Solicitor Spruce of
Baltimore decided that to preserve
the city's rights he would have to ap-
peal to the court OF appeals before
Saturday. He has tried to appeal pre-
viously but Judge Sharpe had object.
ed to the admission of certain testi-
mony. To have this testimony admit
ted required argument but when Mr..
Spruce sought the judge he found he
was in New York. He called him up
by telephone and on learning that the
Judge would listen to argument he and
Assistant City Solicitors Ritchie and
Goldsmith argued for about a quarter
Of an hour. To insure legality of the
novel proceedings the argument was
made in the presence of two officers
of the superior court of Maryland.
Judge Sharpe reserved decision until

STAY FOR HOFFMAN.
Aggie Myers Appeal Saves the Con-
demned Man From Execution.

Jefferson City. Jan. 8.-Governor
Folk has given a respite of ninety days
for Frank Hoffman. who is under SEN
tence to be hanged in Kansas City
Thursday. This respite is made 'for
Investigation as the governor has al
ready given the ordinary respites and
had intended to decide today whether
he would commute the sentences of
Hoffman and Mrs. Myers or let them
hang.
Hottman's respite 'for investiga-
ton is necessary and the governor
probably will have TO extend it as the
Agnes Myers case probably will not be
disposed of by that time. He is sat
isfied that it won't do to hang Hott-
man while Mrs. Myers has an appeal
pending.
In the meantime there is a fairly
active sentiment in the legislature in
favor OF abolishing capital punishment
OF esta blishing the Kansas law, which
to all intents and purposes does the
same thing. Senator Bradley may in
troduce the Kansas law with an addi-
tional provision that the murderer
sentenced to hang must be considered
dead and no governor can consider an
appeal for pardon or Communication of
sentence in his behalf. It is doubtful
whether this last would be enforce
able under the Missouri constitution.

IN MACKLIN CASE.
Arrest of a Negro Corporal Charged
With the Murderous Assault.

Fort Reno, o. T., Jan. S.-The finding
of khaki jacket, one sleeve of which
was covered with blood and punctured
presumably by bullet has led to the
| arrest of Corporal Knowles of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, negro, on the
charge of murderously assaulting- Cap
tain Edgar B. Macklfn- When arrested
the negro officer was found to have a
| severe flesh wound in the wrist which
he is said to have been treating himself
for over three weks- The wound In the
wrist is declared to have been inflicted
by the same size bullet as went through
the sleeve of the jacket, which bore
Knowles initials.
The officers at the fort and Ell Reno
police do not doubt that the negro cor
poral is the masked man who on the
night of December 81 called Captain
Macklin to the back door of his home
and shot him twice.
The jacket which led to Knowles ar
rest was found near the fort Sunday
by two boys.
The man was placed in the guard
house but made no confession. An in
vestigation is being made by the mill
tary authorities.
1t is understood that the prisoner
states he injured his wrist while in the
bathing quarters. An attendant I'm the
bath room states that he remembers
noticing the wrist bleeding and ban
daged it up. He thinks this was about
a week after the Macklin shooting.
About a week after Captain Macklin
was shot, Chinese laundryman in re-
sisting robbery in Ell Reno, was shot
by negro soldier, and two shots were
fired at the assaiIant by Lee Song af-
ter he had been wounded. one of these
shots may have struck the negro.

George Could Gives His Version Of
Cause for Car Shortage.

New Orleans. Jan. S.-George ].
Gould. head of the Gould railroad sys-
tenn is quoted today on the car short
age problem as follows ''The car
shortage is not altogether the fault
of the railroads. The big car users
are partly responsible in not prepar-
ing loading and unloading facilities in
proportion to the business. Merchants
and shippers have failed to take ac-
count of the increase by many times of
the amount of business handled by
them. This Is what the railroad man
has to contend with in Pittsburg. Chi
cago and many sections and it ap-
plies as we'll to New Orleans in lesser
degree. The general prosperity of the
country is to blame as well as the new
sections"
