WITNESS CECIL
JUMPS HIS BOND
Sensation iQthe Caleb Powers
CaSe-HiS Evidence Import
ant to the Prosecution.

Georgetown. KY, Dec. "A sensation
was caused in the Powers case today
when it became known that Frank &C.
ell. one of the chief witnesses for the
prosecution, had disappeared during
last night. Cecil formerly lived at Mid
dlesborO, KY, but now resides in st.
Louis. Since the trial began he has
been stopping at the Wellington hotel,
where the attorneys for the prOsecu-
ton are located. The prosecution as
serts that the defense has run Cecil
away to keep him from testifying,
while the defendants attorneys assert
that it is a trick on the part of the
prosecution to delay or stop the trial,
as Cecil is known to be one of the
strongest witnesses against Powers.
The prosecution is said to have in
formation that Cecil told a friend yes
terday before leaving that he had re-
ceived $1,000 and a promise Of pardon
for jumping his bond.

Special to The HeraId.l

Washington, Dec. 3.-This has been
a city of famous criminal trials, but
none has exceeded in dramatic incident
or intense feeling at its close the case
of Mrs. Bradley. Long before 10 o'clock
this morning the court room was
crowded with men and women waiting
for the return of the jury. When the
verdict was announced the tension was
relieved and there was a chorus OF
stifled cheers, hysterical sobs from Wo-
men in the audience, and then gen
eral Outburst of approval which the
bailiffs had difficulty in suppressing.
Bore Up 6raVeIy.
Mrs. Bradley perhaps was as COM
posed as anyone in the court room. 1t
was expected she would give way to
IGNITION, no matter what the verdict
would be, but she maintained remark
able self-contrOl and said. in answer to
one of the questions put to her, that she
would go back to Salt Lake City to
one of her friends. She said; 80

Washington, Dec. 3.-The house of
representatives. assembled today with
but one object, namely to listen to
the reading of the presidents mes
sage and adjournment The galleries
showed that the interest of the public
was almost as great as on the opening
day.
Mr. Payne IN ", from the COM
mittee appointed to notify the presi-
dent that congress was ready TO re-
ceive any communication he might
wish tn make, reported that a message
would soon be sent to the house.
The speaker announced that ne had
received a communication that Ordina-
rily he would refer to a committee, but
he thought it so important he would
have il read at once. The paper
proved to be a telegram from the
Oklahoma Legislature to the house of
representatives..
Greeting From Oklahoma.
"Oklahoma's first state legislature
it stated, Just organized, inspired by
the fond reality of local self-gOvern-
menI, sends greeting to the Sixtieth
congress of the greatest nation on
earth, and conveys to her sister states
message of progress and prosperity
and loyal devotion to the Union and
the common good"
The speaker himself read this mes
sage in an impressive manner, and as
he concluded the house broke into ap-
plause. A recess was then taken until
1890 T. m. On re-cOnvening the presi-
dents secretary appeared with the
message of the president. 1t was laid
before the house and its reading was
begun by the clerk Printed copies of
the document were distributed among
the members. who made a close scru-
tiny OF the message while the reader
plodded along, apparently only for the
benefit of the people in the galleries.

that the citizens of no nation possess

Dishonest Business Men.
In any large body of men. however,
there are certain to be some who are dis

these men prosper or commit their mis-
deeds with impunity, their example IS d
very evil thing for the community. Where
these men are business men of great sa-
gacity and of temperament both I'M
scrupulOus and reckless, and where the
conditions are such that they act without
supervision or control and at first with
out effective check from public opinion.
they delude many innocent people into
making investments or embarking in

When the misdeeds of these successfully
dishonest men are discovered, suffering
comes not only upon them, but upon the
innocent men whom they have misled. II
is a painful awakening, whenever 1t oc-
ours: and naturally. when it does occur
those who suffer are apt to forget that
the longer il was deferred the more pain

the guilty it is both wise and proper ~
endeavor so far as possible TO minimize
the distress Of those who have been mis-
led nv the guilty. Yet it is not possible

POOR WASHBURN.
College Baseball Team Failed to
Interest COoleycroWs.
Pitchers of White SOx Had Sons
of IchabOd Guessing.
THE SCORE WAS IL TO L.
The Run That Saved the Blues
Came in Last Inning.
White and McCampbeIl Did the
Star Work for Their Nine.

The Washburn college baseball team
proved no match for the tribe of
Cooley yesterday afternoon, and the
coDegians returned to their camp after
the game with the minority end of the
score of IL to I. At no stage of the
game did the college players show any
form to compare with that OF Topeka'S
star proteges, and the whole thing
from beginning to end was a lopsided
affair.
Cooley sent three twirlers to the
little mound in the center of the dia-
mond, and they all operated on the
Washburn- team as they saw fit Jones
pitched the first three innings, and
famed five, escaping with his delivery
unsolved to the extent of a single hit.
Moore, the man who has Moore size
than the others. went in for four
innings and but once did his opponents
straighten out the kinks of his deliV-
cry, and that was a single to left which
was perfectly harmless in its effects.
The last man who worked on the rub
Der was Clark and his sidewheel de-
livery had the sons of IchabOd COM
pletely at his mercy.
For the Cooleycrows the run-get-
ting commenced in the first inning.
Rusty Riegle," Washburns pitcher,
walked Landreth and Henry before he
located the plate, and these men went
on a station through the medium of
Davis sacrifice. Then Hurlburt slashed
Oul d Triple, anu Two runs crossed
over. The Duke scored a moment later
on Ritchie's muff of Cooley's fly to
left. In the second another run was
added. Ragan, first man up, walked;
and, while Snyder was chasing a few
feet after a passed ball, Raglan scored
from FIRST.
1t was not until the fifth inning that
anything transpired. With one down,
Hurlburt went to first on Whites err
ror, and stole second. Raglan walked,
and four successive singles by Runkel,
Boles, Raglan and Clark scored three
men. Again in the sixth inning a base
on balls to Kelsey, together with hits
by Davis, Hurlburt and Olson, scored
three. The only other run was made
in the seventh, when singles by Lam
dreth, Kelsey and Davis in rapid sue
cession sent Landreth over the plate.
For the Blues. the run that saved
them from a coat OF ewhftewash came
in the ninth inning, when White the
first man up, received a pass to first in
the ribs. and by some brilliant base
running stole second and third, and
then scored on a wild pitch.
For the Washburn team the best
work was done by White at short and
McCampbell at third. Both men made
errors, but they are also credited with
several stops that won the applause of
the faithful bunch of fans who at
tended the game.

BIG CoFFEYVILLE DEAL.
The Premium Glass Company Buy
the Pioneer Class Eacfnr.rr

The Premium Glass Company Buys
the Pioneer Glass Factory.
Coffeyville, Kan, April 4.-The Prem
ium Glass company has purchased the
Pioneer glass factory. The deal was con-
summated this week. That means that
Cofeyville has secured the new glass
company which has been organized and
chartered under the laws of the state
of Kansas for the manufacture of new
jar The capacity of the plant will be
fifty carloads per month and will en-
ploy about $50 men with a pay roll of
$4,000.
The Pioneer plant, the one purchased
by the Premium Glass company, has
one of the choicest factory locations in
the city and heretofore it has manufac-
tured tableware, lamp chimneys, lam
tern globes, etc. 1t is one of the larg-
est factory buildings in Coffeyville.
Work will be begun Immediately to
put the factory in first class condition.
The installation of the latest machinery
will be made and everything indicates
that within the next sixty days the fac
tory will be in full operation. One of
the strong points considered in the
purchase of the Pioneer plant was that
by so doing it would be possible to get
the new jars on the market this fruit
season.
