Money Coming Fast.

Never a day passes now but that the state treasurer receives anywhere from few hundred 10 a thousand or more dollars from the various insur- ance companies that operate in Ar kansas. The money is paid as taxes. About s1 800 was paid in Thursday. All of the money from that source goes into the general revenue fund, which has been decidedly low for the past several months.

CHAPTER III (continued).

"Confide in mel" The Americans 8 voice is commanding. If you don't l am compelled to tell your husband of xhis letter We can't let you tear your self into nervous flinders and not know how to aid you. To this he adds. hoping by hippancy to tighten her heart Edwin will soon make those pretty lips speak.
 Never, though l adore him." she cries hoarsely T eannot-l will not 1t Is so craftily. So fiendishly cruel, 1t strikes my husband and all our future happiness. It is worse than if they killed me as they will some day. They hope to slay not only our bodies, but to destroy even Edwin's love for me before l die"
 Barnes thinks how his own imme- diate wedding to Enid Anstruther has been subtly thwarted by the letter he carries in his pocketbook which he guesscs came from the same man. He now knows that his love for his atti- anced Is being assaulted as we'll as the honeymoon happiness of these two just mated.
 For the sake of all of us you must speak" he commands.
 The answer of the Corsican bride mystifies the American more than ever She says nobly, yet doggedly: For the sake of my husband, l am silent"
 Then you compel me to tell Edwin of the letter." he says shortly.
 As Barnes speaks, the bridegroom enters, and woman's tact destroys his opportunity.
 She throws herself enthusiastically but coquettishly into the arms opening for her and cries, half playfully, half tearily: Edwin, in the railroad de pot received a note that produced my nervous agitation. MT. Barnes thinks it wise l tell you its contents. l don {. Now, of course. if you say SO, l must do as you tell me. l am an obedient wife" She puts her arms caressingly round Edwin's neck and whispers; Shall I?" then gives him tempting little kiss.
 Hang it, Barnes" answers An struther under these allurements, "l have too much trust in my darling to want to read her letters
 "Yorre a very bright girl to have your husband so soon in subjugation, remarks Burton, gloomily. But, Ma rina. in such a vital matter, l warn you to beware of playing your enemies game"
 Pooh" answers Edwin, what do you, a bachelor know about women, anyway" Then he jeers in sailor bluntness: You and Enid didn't hunt up minister today. You are not so enterprisng a fellow as l thought you Barnes for I am quite certain that saw consent in my sisters red cheeks and dropping eyes.
 At this Marina utters a subdued yet ghastly sigh, which Is destroyed by the kiss of her young husband. and the unfortunate Burton goes silently away.
 By himself. rehecting upon his be trothed manner to him that has been growing colder and more distant each minute since he has tacitly refused to immediately make himself lord of her trusting loyeliness, he cogttates mo- rosely: Am l not playing our enc mics game also in not wedding Enid ?'
 But it Is too late for a minister now. Their carriage is already at the door to take them away first for a little drive on the Prado to destroy suspic- ion, then when evening darkness falls upon the land, to the Corniche road, where the boat will be waiting to put them on shipboard.

SUNDAY CLOSING FIGHT
HAS OPENED ONCE MORE

The Sunday closing fight will be
stirred up again on account of the
arrest yesterday of Main avenue
clothiers. Among them was Alex
Davis. The last time the clerks
union caused Davis arrest he made
it hot for proprietors of cigar
stores and fruit stands and drug
stores which sell other things than
drugs. Justice Hinkle dismissed the
actions on the showing that the
prosecutions were instigated
through malice and not through
any desire for obedience of the
letter of the law.
The clothiers arrested yesterday
in addition to Davis are e. Silver
stein, A. Bloom and J. Miller.
When they We're arrested before
Justice Hinkle assessed costs only
on condition that the clothiers
would stay closed.
Alex Davis this afternoon stated
that the clothiers molested intend
this time to get out warrants for
cigar store. fruit stand and drug
store proprietors and demand that
they be punished as severely as
the clothiers are.
Drug stores are open Sundays
and selling everything from hair
pins to suitcases," stated Davis. IF
they are to allow other people to
keep open we demand the same
privilege and are to press the cases
this time.

before why the other cases were
dropped. ! understood that they
had been dismissed because our
prosecutions were through malice

BRUTAL HOLDUP
ON TRACK

One of the most daring and
brutal holdups in months took
place about IL O'Clock last night
when four men, evidently tramps
leaving town along the Northern
Pacific tracks, attacked and beat a
Greek called Pappar, and robbed
him of $40.
The Greek was just crossing the
railroad track on Jefferson street
when the thugs felled him with a
blow from a bludgeon. The Greek
called for help and fought desper-
ately. When down upon his back
he kicked at his assailants with
his feet and received sharp blow
over the ankle which fractured one
of the bones. Several men heard
the Greek and ran to the scene.
They assisted him to safe place
off the tracks, then telephoned to
the police.
Sergeant Mcdonnell and Patrol
man Hogan went to investigate,
but learned nothing which would
lead to clew to the desperadoes.

Reports of the vote on governor
leaves little doubt that Samuel G..
Cosgrove will be the next chief
executive. Henry Mcbride has
polled the largest first choice vote,
and Albert Mead next. But both
Mcbride and Mead men gave Cos
grove their second choice. AS Nc
Bride has not the required 40 per
cent, the second choice vote must
be counted, and thus Cosgroye be-
comes the nominee.

formed that M. E. Hay is leading

over Charles Coon here. The nomi-

but had no intention of arousing
an attack on Dreyfus.

TRUST DENIES
EVERYTHING

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-The gov
ernment's contention that ignor-
ance of the published rate Is not a
valid excuse for shipper to vio-
late it, is contested by Standard
Oil in it's answer to the govern
ment's petition for a rehearing of
the $29,000,00O fine filed today by
Rockefeller's counsel in the federal
court of appeals.
The answer denies that the SUI
preme court has ruled it is the duty
of a shipper to ascertain the pub
lished rate, and denies that the
case should be reopened to estab-
lish number of alleged offenses.
The answer says:
1--WE may fairly insist that coun-
sci in their criticism of the courts
opinion be held scrupulously as to
the accuracy of their treatment of
both the courts ruling and of the
record. We may require that such
criticism be confined to substantial
ground for rehearing. Counsel for
defense is mistaken in the conten-
tion that the trial courts ruling
was that shippers would not be
permitted to avail themselves Of
the defense of ignorance, where
ignorance results in negligence or
wilful failure to resort to sources
of information which are available.
1she real point is:
did trial court In opposing the
fine take into consideration the re-
lation between Standard Oil of
New Jersey and Standard Oil of
Indiana? Did it base the fine on
the wealth of the Standard Oil Of
New Jersey?"
