Topeka Correspondence

When H. B. Miller decided no.
to enter the race for the nomina
ton for Governor the friends Of
Cyrus Leland rejoieed, believing
the result would be that Leland
would land all of the old soldier
vote of the State. Miller is an old
soldier like Leland and Leland's
friends were free to admit that Mil
Ter would divide that vote with LIE
land. When Leland and his friends
began claiming the old soldier vote
the friends of w. R. Stubs said
aothing. This was taken to mean
III some quarters that Stubs was
eonceeding that vote to Leland.
AS a matter of fact Stubs and
his friends are firmly convinced
that not to exceed fifty per cent of
the veterans of Kansas will cast
their votes for Leland. This i'm
preston has been, growing as the
campaign progresses. Every day
brings letters to Stubbs' headquar-
fers from old soldiers promising
support and telling of other veter-
ans in their localities who are sup
porting Stubs. Some of the petit
lions CIRCULATED in Stubbs' interests
contain from half a dozen to fifty
names of old soldiers. In at least
a dozen instances the petitions

A Stubs petition was circulated in

John T. White, member of the
Legislature from Ottawa county
and an old soldier puts it this way:
"Up in nay country they are try
Ing to work the old soldier racket
for Mr.. Leland but the old boys up
there I know are not taking to it.
They feel that while the veterans
ought to stand together, the making
ola governor is another matter; that
their support should 60 to the man
who best represents them, not the
man who has fought the most battles.
Most of these old boys admire Lee
land and are aware Of his war record
but they are not allowing that to in
terfere with their judgement. The
nomin alton of man for Governor
is ome.hing entirely alien to the
Civil War. I am an old soldier
and ordinarily l stand by other old
soldiers but l am for the man first.

 a Great Revival.

Austin, Tex, April 4.-A. J. Kelley, alias G. w. Moore, an escaped peni- tentiary convict, was captured yester- day at a country church near Bedias. where he was conducting religious meetings.
 He was serving ten years sen- tence for forgery when he made his escape about three weeks ago. He ap- propriated horse and after riding several miles abandoned it and con- tinued on foot. He appeared in Be- dias several days ago and introduced himself to the devout church mem bers as the Rev John Inman He vol unteered to open revival meeting. and the good people gave him their hearty support.
 The meeting was a success from the start and was in full swing when a constable got circular describing the escaped convict Kelley admitted his identity when taken into custody. He had brought twenty converts into the church by his powerful exhorta- tions.

FACE A PINWHEEL.
Benler Removes Ringworms by Blast
 ing Them.

New Haven, April 4.-William Benler, a polisher employed at the Winchester Repeating Arms Go, made a human pinwheel out of his face yesterday and coming in contact with spark that flew from his wheel it blew up. MT Benler lives at Peck avenue and Blohm street, West Ha- ven, and for some days has been trou- bled with a ringworm growing on his cheek. A friend told him yesterday that a mixture of powder and vine gar was the proper remedy and he started in to try it.
 Securing the vinegar he mixed in the powder and spread it all over the offending ringworm. To keep it on he stuck piece of paper over it and then went on with his work. All went well until the sparks began to fly from his wheel and one of them came in. contact with the powder Flash" and all was over and in place of the ringworm MT Benler is now nursing great big bli/.er that after the powder smoke was washed from, was about twice as big and three times as painful as the ring worm. Until it heals he will not be able to tell whether he cured the worm or not but thinks he has.

SUSPEND SEVEN CONDUCTORS.
Company Claims That Employees Fall
 ed to Ring Up Fares.

Bridgeport, April 4.-There was no end of speculation last evening among the conductors and motormen of the Connecticut Go in this city when shortly after 6 o'clock notice was posted of the suspension of Con ductors Allen, Birchoff, Clark, Bradt; Griffin, Ashmore and Dressler, seven well known men in the service. Four of the men had been with the con- pany six months and three over a year. The latter had regular runs as did two of the short term men. Near ly all were earning between $14 and $15 week when they worked steady.
 According to the officials of the company it was not "suspension" but discharge. The men had all been under watch for weeks.
 It was learned that the company had been at work since last August, endeavoring to weed out the men they regarded as undesirable and the last discharged about completes the list. Said Superintendent Chapman last night, when interviewed on the subject: None of the men discharg- ed are what could be termed long ser vice men although the most of them had regular runs. The majority of the men now in the service are hon. est and we have no fault to find. We have been wedding out men for some months and believe we have now cleaned up the list. The men let go last night have been watched for some time. We could not give an es- timate on the amount of money the company has lost in this way for the past nine months but know it was considerable.

SAVES POST CARD PICTURES.
Order Doing Away With Postmark-
 ing at the Office of Address.

Washington, April 4-Postmaster General Meyer has issued an order doing away altogether with the post marking of postal cards at the office of address. This action is taken on account of the complaints that have been received at the post office de- partment on account of postmarks placed on the message side and on the picture side of post cards.
 The department ruling heretofore in force required that all cards be postmarked with the date of receipt at the office of address, and in order that the messages and pictures should not be obliterated or defaced the rul- ing provided that the received" stamp should be placed on the ad- dress side of cards instead of on the back as in the case of letters. This has not proved satisfactory and the only pOstmark that will appear here after will be that of the sending place cancelling the stamp on the card.

IS MOLUSKI INSANE?
Many People Think So-Asks His
 Wife to Protect Him.

Deputy Coroner w. D. Makepeace stated this noon that he had finished his investigation in the murder case, but there was nothing new to give out.
 This afternoon Molusky's wife and one of his daughters called at the station to see him. They wept bit terly while talking with the prisoner, who repeatedly asked them to pro- tect him. He seems to be laboring under the hallucination that the po- lice are going to kill him and every time the door opens he thinks some- one is going in to harm him. He told his wife that he understood that he was to be killed in short time and tried to catch her through the bars in order to prevent her from leaving him. One of the mem- bers of the police department is said to have remarked to-day that Mo- lusky is as crazy as loon.

When the police apprehended the latest suspect late last night in South Boston it was thought that the mys- tery was at last near solution, but after an examination lasting three hours the authorities were still with out any tangible evidence regarding the identity of the murderer.
