HE MADE A CHANGE.

80 you think 1 am looking better
for a month past?" queried the Chi
cago insurance man of a friend who
had been plimenting him on his
looks.
Fifty per cent better Most of us
thought you had consumption and
were on your last legs. What sort of
a change have you been making?"
"I'll tell you. About four months
ago I began helping my two little girls
do their school home work. A sister
of NINE living with us had assisted
them for d year and had died under

DIDN'T INTEND TO STEAL.
Charles Jennings Was just Borrowing
Coal From His Dealer.

Charles Jennings, a carpenter. was
arrested Sunday evening about
O'Clock by officer c. A. Smith as he
was helping himself to a sack of coal
from car standing on side track.
The car of coal belonged to c. c. Coff-
man, who has had more or less trou-
bic with coal thieves all winter. When
taken to the police station Jennings
admitted that he had filled his sack
from the car. but said that he had
neglected to get coal Saturday night
and that the cold spell caught him
without enough to keep warm.
He claimed that he did not intend to
steal the coal but intended to pay Mr.
Cofman for it Monday morning, as
he had always purchased his coal
from him. The story must have been
a good one for the police allowed him
to take his sack of coal on his back
and take his departure for home after
he had promised that he would report
to the police station Monday. Mr..
Conman appeared this morning and
seems disposed to believe the story
told by Jennings and it is likely that
the charge against him will be dis
missed at the afternoon session of the
police court

HOWTHE WORM TURNED
Why Leland Didn't Get Important
Committee.


The True Story of how the Worm
Turned is being told in connection with
the recent trouble between Speaker
John s. Simmons of the house and
Cyrus Leland, representative from
Doniphan county It will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Simmons appointed Lee
land to the position of chairman of the
committee on state affairs, and Leland,
offended at being turned Off with sucn
a minor place, refused to accept the
appointment. 1t develops that this slap
at Leland was the result of long
period of watching and waiting which
has been Mr. Simmons lot for a good
many years.
1t VIZ when Simmons was super1n-
tendent of the Hutchinson reformatory
at Leland did him the turn whicn
caused the offense. Leland and some OF
his friends wanted the vote OF Senator
Armstrong on certain measures. ARM
strong's brother was foreman OF the
farm at the reformatory- They prom
1sed Armstrong that his brother shoulo
retain his place if Armstrong voted
right on pending bills Armstrong ran
ed to deliver the goods, and Leland de-
manded of Simmons that the farm fore
man be fired Simmons said the fore
man was doing good work, and ought
to be kept, and that he didn't want TO
change just as the spring work was
opening up because he had no compel
ent man for the place. Leland then
started a fire under Simmons, and mace
1t so hot that Simmons quit.
When Simmons dumped Cy Leland
into the ditch on his committee appoint
ments he was simply evening up, TO
some extent the old score.

CoNEY TO THE LEGISLATURE
Couldn't Get Concessions for Old Sol
diers From Legislature.

P. H. Coney. commander of the de-
partment of Kansas, G. A. r., has sub
mitted to the legislature in pamphlet
form, the result of his efforts and COR
respondence with the railway transpor-
tation companies of Kansas. to procure
from them a concession of one-half
passenger rates, for all members in good
standing of the Grand Army of the
Republic. This action was taken by
Commander Coney in conformity with
the concurrent resolution which was
adopted by the legislature in 1905.
with all my most ardent efforts, -
says Commander Coney to the legisla-
ture, mo concession as yet has been OBJ
tanned. I therefore report back to you
the result and now ask that you may
take such legislative action as may
secure for us this rightful concession,
practically granted US by the congress
sional transportation act, that became
effective June 80, 1906.
Il respectfully ask that IN the passage
of any railway transportation legisla-
ton, you confer upon US the patriotic
and loyal right of one-half regular fare
by all railway transportation companies
doing business in this state, and that
you except all honorably discharged
soldiers. sailors and marines of the
Grand Army of the Republic from all
provisions of any free transportation
laws you may pass, for which we shall
be grateful

she had lost $1,000 in bucketshop spec
ulation, and this furnished the prose-
cution the missing link of motive in It's
chain of circumstantial evidence against
the wife, for whose benefit Lilies bfe
was insured for $4,000.
Lille was shot through the head as
he lay asleep beside his wife on the
night of October "a. 1902. Mrs. Lille
said she was awakened by the shot and
saw a burglar standing beside the bed
A second bullet, intended for her. went
through the window. The burglar fled
with several hundred dollars which sEe
said she had been unable to deposit in
the bank.
But the prosecution showed that Lille
apparently was shot from his wife's side
Of the bed. and the angle at which the
second bullet pierced the window ard
screen indicated it had been fred up
ward by person on the bed, instead Of
downward by the burglar. Cobwebs in
the lock of the door, which the woman
said had been forced from the outside,
seemed to indicate the door had been
unlocked from the inside. Mrs. Lille
had been to the hank late in the after
noon. when she 5sId .he had beer I'M
able to deposit the money. and she had
told her employees she was afTaiI of
burglars.
The prosecutor charged that Mrs Lii
lie had devised the story of the burglar
and had murdered her husband for his
insurance. Her lawyers advised her not
to go on the stand, and the jury con
victed her. The higher court denied a
new trial and Mrs. Lille was sent To
the penitentiary in the summer of 1904.

GEORGE W. HOLLAND IS HERE.
Man Who Went to the Last Ditch
Against Reeder.

George w. Holland of Russell is in
Topeka today on business with the su-
preme court. Mr.. Holland is the man
who stayed in the fight against Reeder
for the Congressional nomination ito
the last ditch" at the congressional
convention held at Lincoln last year.
Mr.. Russell says there is no politics in
his visit to Topeka. He will stay here
a couple of days and watch the legis-
lature do business
The suit which Mr.. Holland filed
today is entitled the State VS.. Thomas
Patten. Holland is attorney for Pat
ten. Mr.. Patten lives at Luray, and
had some trouble with Daniel Walters
who owns the Luray telephone ex-
change. Walters set a telephone pole
in front of Patterns house in such
way that it interfered with Mr.. Pat
tens entrance to his premises. Pat
ten asked the company to move the
pole several times, and when they fall
ed to do so he got an axe and cut 1t
down. For this he was arrested, and
tried in justice court and fined $50.
He appealed to the district court, and
was convicted on one count, and fined
$40. Even this did not suit Mr. Pat
ten and he appeals the case to the su.
preme court.

AMERICAN MRS. MAVERICK"
Mrs. Lille, Serving a Life Sentence for
Husbands Murder, Pardoned

The last official act of Governor
Mickey before retiring from office was
to grant an unconditional pardon today
to Mrs. Lena Margaret Lille, serving a
life sentence for the murder of her hlis-
band.
The liberation of Mrs. Lille, NE
braska's Florence Maybrick." as her
friends have called her. IS the resul. of
the belief of the club women of the
state that she was the victim of a ter
rible bIunder of justice. Since her in
generation they have worked without
ceasing to obtain the pardon which
Governor Mickey has considered grant

ago of two anonymous letters pointing

DEMENTED MAN CAN'TBE FOUND
john Cody May Have Pcrished in the
Storm.

The friends of John Cody, the de-
mented man who left his home near
Baughman's ice cream factory the
latter part of last week, are fearful
that he persisted in the cold and storm
of Friday night and Saturday. Cody,
who is about 81 years of age, was at
one time adjudged insane and confined
in the asylum but later he was taken
to the home of his mother, who has
cared for him at the expense of the
county.
He has at no time been considered
violent or dangerous and has been al
lowed considerable freedom though he
has been watched at all times to see
that he did not wander away and get
lost. He left the home of his mother
one day last week and since that time
he has been seen but once and that
was on the following day when he
was seen on the Mission road, walking
