MRS. HAYES CAN'T SAY.
Daughter of Jefferson Davis Can
Throw No Light on Letters.

Colorado Springs. Colo, Nov. 11-sIu
an interview today Mrs. J. A Hayes,
daughter of President Jefferson Davis
of the southern confederacy, said:
Il do not know anything about the
contents of those letters nor do 1 know
whether Generals Grant and Thomas
or Admiral Farragut ever applied to,
my father for commissions; 1 never
heard my parents make any mention of
their having done so.
mot knowing anything definite about
these letters 1 do not feel competent to
say when these letters shall be opened.
am going to New Orleans in February
and shall take counsel with my friends
and relatives before deciding upon anv
course. Since neither my father nor
my mother made these letters public
it is but natural that should feel some
diffidence about opening them or de-
parting from the course my parents
thought best to pursue. 1 do not see
any reason why the letters should be
made public just now" -
When asked if she would express her
personal opinion as to whether Generals
Grant and Thomas or Admiral Farra-
gut applied to her father for commits
sions, Mrs. Hayes said that under the
circumstances she was not in position
to express any opinion whatsoever.

CRAIG IS CONVICTED.
Former Topeka Boy Sentenced to
Prison For Life.

i Colorado Springs, Nov. 11.-Syl-
Vester Craig. the young man accused
/ OF the murder of Harry Potts, a
rancher of Deer Trail, Ebert county,
was Saturday night found guilty of
murder in the first degree and SEN
l fenced to imprisonment for life on a
verdict brought in by the jury after
/ three Hours deliberation. Owing to
the fact, that the evidence was all cir
eumstantial, the jury recommended
lie Imprisonment in preference to the
death penalty. Craig was defended
I by Attorney A. NJ Harvey for
| mer lieutenant governor of Kansas,
and the prosecution was conducted by
District Attorney c. c. Hamlin and
assistant District Attorney Henry
Trowbridge of this city. Judge w. S.
Morris of the district court was on
| the bench and the trial was held at
Kiowa.
Potts was an aged rancher and the
last seen of him alive was on April
a, last, when he was in Deer Trail
buying groceries. He took Craig to
his ranch with him to work as hir-
ed hand. but the latter showed up in
Deer Trail next day with considerable
money which caused comment, as he
was known to have had no money the
day previous. The young man then
went to Denver and later to Topeka,
Kan, his former home, and spent
considerable money in gambling at
both cities. He later went to Texas
and was arrested there on charge of
murder. the body of Potts having
been found in a well on the ranch
about three weeks after the disap-
pearance of the old man. Craig was
brought to the Ell Paso county Jail
for safe keeping. On his first trial at
kiowa the jury disa agreed.
The defense put up by the prison
er was that he had not been within
three miles of the scene of the muir
der at the time he, was supposed to
have gone with Potts to the ranch4
when the latter took him from Deer
Trail. He claimed that he had gone
instead to his uncle's ranch near Deer
Trail and accounted for the money he
had in his possession by saying that
he has received a letter from home
containing money, that had been ly-
ing at his uncle's house for some time
Sylvester Craig is the son of H w.
Craig, who lives at 1926 Kansas ave-
nue.. He was formerly a student in
the high school and is young His
father was formerly teacher in the
county schools and is now an insur-
ance agent.

SURPRISED BRITISH.
The Kaiser Slipped Into Port Under
Cover of the Fog.

Portsmouth, Eng, Nov. flowing
to a chilling, impenetrable fog, the
imperial yacht Hohenzollern having on
board Emperor William, the empress
and the other members of the German
imperial party who are to visit King
Edward and Queen Alexandra, was uIl~
able to cross the harbor bar here on
the early tide and did not reach the jet
ty until three hours after the appoint
ed time this afternoon. The Hohen-
chored last night off Selza not having
been able to enter Sandowne bay, Isle
of Wight, according to programme.
The German emperor'S faith in the
healing qualities of the climate of the
Isle of Wight must have received a
rude sh ock, as owing to thick fog, even
the precise position of the imperial
yacht was not known until nearly
noon. when it was discovered that she
had felt her way through the gloom to
the Nab lightShip and had anchored
there pending a sufficient lifting of the
pail to enable the imperial party to
land at Great Britain's premium dock
yard. AS it was then too late to eaten
the tide and enter the harbor, the re-
ception party ashore waited patiently
until the Hohenzollern succeeded in
finding her way into Portsmouth and
making fast to the naval jetty used as
a landing place for important person.

Cheap Dentistry!

Intelligent people find out sooner or

thing for nothing they usually make a
mistake. If you want high grade, first

for it. The best is the most economi-

for the masses in France, but this is

the beginning he is taught such
branches of knowledge as best COM

that IL a man will eat he must work,
which is made to apply to both sexes
