SHOT Her OWN SON.
When He Tried to Prevent Her From
Committing Suicide.

New York, Sept. 21.-In attempting to
prevent his mother from shooting her
self as he thought she was about to do,
Curt Klein, 16 years old, received a
bullet wound in his own head early to-
day, in a furnished room house in Sec
ond avenue. He will probably die. His
mother was locked up charged with
felonious assault.
Friction between Mr.. and Mrs. Klein
over the management of the house, the
police say induced Mrs. Klein to at
tempt suicide. Mrs. Klein, it is charg-
ed, ran into her sons room and draw
ing revolver from her waist, exclaim-
ed IT am going to end it ALL
With a cry the boy leaped from the
bed where he had been sitting and
rushed to her. and caught her arm and
tried to wrest the revolver from her.
In the struggle the weapon was dis
charged and a bullet struck the lad be-
hind the right ear. The father and
some roomers rushed in and disarmed
Mrs Klein who tainted when she saw
her boy lying wounded on the floor.

GIVEN A SCARE.
County Atty. Threatened to Ex-
pose Drug Store Skeleton.
Application for Keith Books
Hastily Withdrawn.
SOLD BOOZE ON TICK.
County Now Has All the CustO-
mers' Accounts.
Politicians and Office Holders
Are in a Panic.

Hungate and Magaw, attorneys for
Frank Keith whose drug store at 404
Kansas avenue was raided Saturday
evening by Sheriff Wilkerson and
County Attorney Schenck, this morn
ing filed an application with Judge
Dana of the district court asking for
the return of the account books cap
tured at the time of the raid. The
move had been anticipated by the
county attorney and a dozen or more
witnesses subpoenaed to testify as to
the value of the books in question as
evidence In the. case.
When the attorneys for Keith found
from the array Of witnesses who had
been subpoenaed by the county attor-
ney, who were recognized as ex-
patrons of the place. the likelihood of
their being placed on the stand, the
motion was withdrawn.
The contention of the attorneys for
Keith was that the proprietor of the
store needed the books so that he
could make his collections. The case
never reached Judge Dana and the
books are now locked in the safe of
County Attorney John Schenck and
will probably remain there until the
trial of the case when they will con-
stitute a portion of.the evidence relied
upon to secure a conviction.
A rather peculiar condition is
shown to exist as the books contain a
number of pages indicating that credit
for bottled goods as well as single
drinks has been extended to the
patrons of the place which is contrary
to the provisions of the law governing
druggists permits. The list of patrons
includes the names of number of
Topeka men of more or less promi-
nence who have been in the habit of
obtaining their wet goods by the drink
and bottle, and settling at the end of
the month.
Among the names Included is a man
who now holds an office subject to the
suffrage of the people. another who
was candidate at the last county pri-
mary but was defeated, and a num-
Der of railroad and business men who
are liable to be subpoenaed as wit
nesses at the trial of the case. In
some places the charge is zone drink,

cents showing the prevailing price
of drinks in that end of the city. There
are innumerable charges of zone

pened to be.

bottled beer charged as"Bots." Among
the list of customers is one designated
as rags" another as white Hoss."
The accounts indicate the thirst which
must have consumed several of the
patrons of the place who are charged
with as high as a dozen drinks on one

ANDERSON of Topeka was present, and
as usual entertained the old bows and
visitors in pleasing anecdotes and re-
m1n1scences. Tom wouldn't sing al
though loudly called on for a song.
The Norton band, which has no SUI

was great drawing card. Their
presence resulted in the addition of

for the next year.
W. B. Ham, of Stockton, candidate
for congress, gave the Old Boys in Blue
a fine patriotic talk, combining his re-
marks entirely to the old flag, the civil
war, and mis- recent visit to several bat
tie fields in Virginia. He was freauenr-
ly applauded. His address was intense
ly entertaining.
Congressman Reeder was given a
handsome ovation by the old comrades
who gave him three cheers as he sat in
front of the hotel watching the parade
Later in the day he spoke to good
crowd in the camp, and was accorded a
hearty reception. Neither Mr.. Ham nor
Congressman Reeder referred to politics
in their speeches, but it S safe to say
that both of them had considerable to
say about politics on the side.
w. r. Stubs spoke the last day. It
looked as if everybody present had
heard of Stubs, and all wanted to SEQ
and hear him. He, too, was accorded a
handsome reception, and he was pleased
with his first visit to Rexford. He spoke
in his usual pleasing style, and his
audience listened to every word he ut
tered.
There was an effort made to take in
the entire Sixth district in the north
western Kansas Veterans association,
but this voted down. Norton coun-
ty was voted in, leaving 16 counties in
the district.
Among the visitors present were State
Senator Chas. Buschow, Ike Crumley,
members Of the Legislature from Thorn

of the Colby land office.

Greenhaulgh's invalid mother, were
today taken from Zion City to the

the feeling against them is inter&e. The
inquest will be resumed tonight and it
is possible that further arrests will be

REPUBLICANS GIVE UP.
Concede HaskelPs Election by 5000 on
Fair Count.

Guthrie. o. T., Sept. 21-It is estimat-
ed that HaskelPs majority in the state
on an official count will be about $4,000.
Republicans allege, however, that If this
showing is made it will be by boosting
the figures in counties where Demo-
Gratis control the election machinery.
They claim that an absolutely honest
count would reduce Haskelrs majority
below 5000.
Unofficial returns show that E. L.
Fulton, Democrat, is elected in the
Second congressional district over T: B.
Ferguson, Republican Chairman
Thompson claims Fulton's election by
500 majority Republicans claim, how
ever. that Fulton may be thrown out in
a contest.
The result in, the Third congressional
district is still in doubt. Indications are
that Oklahoma will send not more than
two Republican congressman to Wash
ington and that the Democrats will
send the other three.
The Republicans are not likely to
have over ten out of the forty-four SEN
ators in the state legislature, nor more
Than twenty-five of the 100 representa-
tives. Democrats claim that they will
have ninety representatives, and con-
cede the Republicans but five senators.
II is evident that the Democrats will
have an overwhelming majority in both
houses.
Republicans are pointing out that
Haskell is for prohibition because it
will, give him a political machine which
will continue the Democrats in power
indefinitely The prohibition provision
stirulates that there shall be a liquor
dispensary in every town of over 1000
and one in every county where there is
not a town of that population. These
,5ispensary agents are to be appointed
nv the governor. Liquor can be secured
from the dispensary only upon prescrip-
ton from a physician, and Republicans
figure that many physicians will do lit
tie but write prescriptions at so much
per, making a gold mine out of the
dispensary, which would swell the
Democratic campaign fund. Republ-
cans declare that by the Democrats en-
forcing prohibition the business of these
dispensaries will be increased until they
are huge liquor houses.

CUT OUT THE BEER.
German Socialists Opposed to Its Use
During Working Hours.

Essen, Germany, Sept. 21-The
temperance question was again dis
cussed today at the socialist national
convention in this city. Only one vote
was cast against a resolution whose
main feature was an expression Of OPP
position to the use of alcohol in any
form during working hours, thus set
ting the full strength of the socialist
party against the German factory
system of beer drinking at regular in
tervals throughout the day. In many
workshops the drinking of eight to
ten pints of beer while the men are
at work is usual. The prevailing
opinion among the delegates to the
convention was that the intemperance
of the laboring classes will gradually
cease with the betterment of their
condition, the shortening of the hours
of work and the abolition of night
work.
The Burgomann electrical works in
Berlin, which is owned by an Amer
lean was one of the first concerns in
Germany to prevent its employees from
drinking beer during working hours.
This followed a long and hard fight
with the employees some years ago and
the result has been that the product
of the works is increasing appreciably.

the association asserts to be an I'M

This is a fight in the common in

industry is the third largest business

SHE SAVES SIX LIVES.
Young Woman Warns Trainmen of an
Impending Wreck.

New York, Sept. 21.-Six New York
Central train men owe their lives to the
presence of mind and quickness of Miss
S. Dorothy Wagner, daughter of John
Wagner. who lives at 16Sth street close
to the railroad tracks. Then men were on
a long freight train bound down from
Albany which had been stopped by q
signal man owing to a handcar being
stalled ahead of it. Miss Wagner was
standing on the porch of her home.
when the freight was halted and
glanced down the track to see what the
trouble was. The tracks curve near
where the Wagner house stands but
from her position on the porch the girl
could see around this. down the tracks.
Suddenly she saw two engines coupled
and drawing caboose approaching
rapidly. At first she thought that the
double header was on a different track
from that on which the train stopped
and when she realized that they were
on the same track they were only few
rods away She ran from the porch and
dashed UP the steps Of the caboose Of
the freight train and shouted a warning
to the six men inside. They made for
the door and jumped an instant before
the double header plowed at full
speed through the caboose. The engi-
neer- and the fireman of the double
header also jumped just in time. The
former sprained his ankle and the train
crew of the double header back in the
caboose suffered slight cuts and bruis-
es from being flung down by the col
ligiOn.
