Writes a Letter.

nouncement of E. F. Stanley of To-

subscriptions which are being re-
ceived at the Office of the Prudential
Trust company, Seventh and Kansas
avenue. are coming in steadily.
A number of the friends of the
family are taking an active interest in
the collection of the fund, especially
is great credit due the Prudential
Trust company, e. F. Stanley and l..
E. Decker. The trust company is re-
ceiving the donations at their office
and they are very courteous in their
handling of the funds. Mr.. Stanley
has been circulating a paper in the
Bleakley neighborhood and Mr..
Decker who is employed in the
Kansas avenue is also working hard
in the interest of the fund.
The Prudential Trust company re-
ceived this morning a letter from
Bale Waggener of the law firm of
Waggener, Orr & Waggener of
Atchison containing a check for $25.
Mr.. Waggener expressed the spirit of
the people when he wrote the follow
ing letter:
Bleakley child was an outrage, and
the people ought to see to it that
those connected with it are severely
punished, and the child restored to
its mother. I enclose my check for
SIS to aid in that result
Interest in the kidnapping case has
been aroused all over the. state and it
is expected that a number of funds
will be started out of town in a very
few days. The Kansas press is taking
up the matter and it is the general
opinion that Mrs Bleakley is the
owner of her own child and
she should have the means to prove
her rights in the courts.
Miss Kate Thompson, the sister of
Mrs. Bleakley, went to Kansas City
last night and she took with her $50
of the money which has been col
lected for the purpose of helping the
mother in her trouble. Miss
was also instructed to
wire at once for more If it is needed.
The people of Topeka will not allow
the mother to lose her child simply
for the want of funds
The total collections made from all
sources amounted to $121.75 last
night.

ties of the Nick Carter dime novels.
The mayor had been suffering from
an attack Of the grip for several days,
but remained at his desk. He found
that the combination Of the malady
and his work necessitated radical
measures for mental relaxation and
hit upon the idea Of spending few
hours each day with a volume Of Nick
Carter. He found the experiment to
surpass his fondest expectations and
told his friends about it.
An interesting incident followed.
John G.. Milburn, who is a close
friend of the mayor, was chatting with
him the other day when he remarked:
II had startling experience with Mr..
Ledyard today. He has been suffering
from the grip for some time, but has
insisted on remaining at work. I went
into his Office to inquire about his
health, and what was my surprise tc
find on his desk several volumes OF
those cheap dime novels written by a
person named Carter-a most startling
habit, your honor"
eyes," replied the mayor. II sent
'em to him."
