HUNTS FOR CORPSE
OF PRINCE SSLAYER
EMBASSY THINKS DEN
YER PAUPER MAY BE BARON
WHO KILLED RUDOLPH.
ECHO OF MAYERLING MYSTERY,
Heir to Austrian Throne Is Found Dead
Beside Body of Young Woman
of the Court.
SUSPECT DIES A COUNTY WARD.

Denver dispatches say that the Aus
TRAN embassy at Washington is trying
to find out whether Louis Won Vetsera,
who was known as Frank Wykoff, and
now lies in a pauper's grave in Riverside
cemetery there, was Baron Louis Vet
sera, brother of Baroness Marie Vetsera.
whose dead body lying alongside that of
Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria, in
his hunting lodge at Mayerling, near vi
emma, twenty years ago, revealed trag-
edy that has had every solution offered
OF 1t except an official one.
Investigation was started by the Aus
trian consul at Denver, George Won Girl
ylcic, upon telegraphic orders from
Washington, says the New York Even
ing Post. The consul sought the aid of
Mayor Speer of Denver to locate the
body of Netsera. Although, according 10
the consul, it is the custom of representa-
tives of the Austrian government in this
country to keep track of all deaths of
countrymen, the fact that the assistance
OF the mayor was sought, indicated that
the Austrian government was more than
ordinarily interested in identifying the
Vetsera supposed to have died here A
dispatch from Washington, however,
says that the Austrian embassy there
knows nothing of the matter.

Sane and conservative progress in

The statement of the state game war
den that fewer deer than usual were
killed during this years open season may
be evidence that the rush of poor shoot
ers to the woods is becoming greater
each year. 1t is certain that the death

and this may mean an increased number
Of would-be deer-sayers to shoot at
and a larger number of greenhorns and
victims of ''buck fever" TO do the shoot
lug. or course the average hunter who
came back without venison, hides or
horns, win say that an absence of snow
during the greater portion of the open
season enabled the deer to avoid the rifle

Baron Disappears.

AT, Ter the tragic death of his sister,
Baron Louis disappeared. Some credited
hin. with the killing of his sister and the
crown prince, and many believed he aft
erW ard committed suicide.
Consul Grivicic declares that solar as
he knows Louis Won Vetsera never came
to the United States, and he is not aware
that his whereabouts was known to
his government.
On the instruction of Mayor Speer,
the police authorities of Denver have
been tracing the career of Frank Wykoff.
They have learned that his real name
was Louis Won Vetsera, and that he lived
secluded life in that city. He was
afflicted with consumption, and was pen
niless in his later days. He died in the
county hospital, and attendants have
heard that he had served a sentence in
San Quentin penitentiary. Previous to
coming to Denver, Wykoff, or Won Vet
sera, worked several months in Pueblo,
Colo. as a mill man.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Gradually and surely the country
is drawing away from the effects of
the late panic" says Henry Clews in
his current weekly financial review.
Depression may not have yet entirely
disappeared; readjustm is still in
complete. and the horizon is not en-
tirely free of uncertainties. Here
and there are complaints of dull busi-
ness; occasionally there are evidences
of lack Of employment and over pro-
duction; enterprise sometimes lacks
spirit, and everywhere there is still
that disposition to caution which is al
ways characteristic of past panic
periods. Perhaps no more convincing
evidence of business depression could
be found than the excessively easy
money which has prevailed for the
past twelve months, not only here but
abroad, showing that similar con-
ditions prevail in all parts of the com
mercial world.
"But these are all conditions which
reflect the past; they are constantly
disappearing. and every observer in
touch with affairs knows that curative
forces are running quietly but strongly
on the road to recovery. In nearly
admitted that primary conditions are
sound, that credit has been purged of
the rottenness that brought on the
panic, that speculation is less reck-
| less. that consumption is increasing,
that confidence is reviving, that in
| dustry and traffic are returning to
their old proportions and that so far
as the volume of business is con-
pre-panic level will soon be reached,
| If not entirely passed. as it ought to
be with out steady growth of
| population. In one respect only is the
outlook not entirely satisfactory:
profits have been severely curtailed,
and are not likely to regain their for
mer standard until further economies
have been introduced and extrava-
| gances more completely eliminated.
| Fortunately the panic has not fallen
as severity as usual upon labor; the
number of unemployed never having
been disproportionately large. and the
reductions in wages being few and IN
important. The panic fell hardest
upon those in moderate circumstances
with fixed incomes: for, owing to the
high prices for food and clothing, the
| cost of living has been excessive and
| threatens to continue SO until our
farmers make the earth produce more
| abundantly and do their Legitimate
| part towards rebuilding national pros
perity. At present our farmers are
distinctly favored class, and they are
welcome to all their good fortune; but
big profits evidently have the same
/ effect upon them as upon other peo-
pie. promoting laziness and discourag-
ing the best methods and largest pro.
duction. Our crops could easily bs
sufficiently augmented by more care
full and more scientific cultivation
thus giving the farmer a larger gros.

SUNDAY sCHooL CoNvENr1oN.

Topekans feel highly compiimented
that the State Sunday School conven-
ton has honored them with its an
nual assemblage for this year in their
city. the capital of the state If they
fall short in any way in the extension
of hospitality some other reason will
have to be found than that of a lack
of desire. Topekans are always glad
to entertain in every possible way the
delegates to conventions which are
held in this city and perhaps it may
be pardonable, even if it is not be-
comingly modest, to say that the sue
cess they may have achieved in this
particular can be best measured by
the increasing number of annual meet
ings and conventions of organizations
in the state and outside of it which
come here each year.
None of the conventions which
come here, though, are of more inn
portance, and therefore worthy. of
more attention, than this Sunday
school gathering. 1t has to do with
an essential feature in the proper
development OF the growing genera
lions. Nothing can be more conse-
quentbal than the instilling into the
minds of the young the fundamental
truths of the religion of righteousness
on which has been founded the high
est degree of civilization wherever it
maintains. The place where these
| lessons are best impaired is the Sum
| day school and it's affiliated societies.
Adequate Sunday schools are almost
quite as necessary as are the common
educational institutions in the training
OF the young child and even those of
more mature years.
1t is not difficult, however, to find
critics who will insist that many of
the Sunday schools are little less than
useless. They do not find fault with
the theory on which the schools are
established so much as on the al
legged failure Of many of them to ac-
oomplish their purposes. Such criti-
cism may be tenabde in some instances.
But It is hardly applicable to Sunday
schools generally. The work that they
are doing is of a high order. Their
effectiveness for good is beyond dis
pute. That their efforts and results
can be bettered is also a fact, for
with them as with everything else
there is always room for improvement
| And that is the very purpose of the
big convention which is now being
held in this city. The Sunday school
superintendent, leaders and teachers,
are gathered together for the purpose
of discussing their work, exchanging
ideas, receiving and giving suggestions
and cleaning valuable lessons from
prominent men and women who have
made the problem of the Sunday
school a life work. That is why this
convention is of such moment. II
means the development and the bet
terment of the Sunday schools of the
state in all ways. And particularly
honorable and worthy of esteem is
this Sunday school work and those
who are engaged in it, for, in the
most part, it is a labor of love. OF
personal sacrifice.
