FINGER PRINTS HIS UNDOING.
After Twelve Years of Liberty Charles
Pearce Is Returned to Prison.

Leavenworth, Kan, May 27.-Uncle
Sam never lets up. If man gets into
his clutches he'd better throw up his
hands, be good, serve his time out and
get through with it. It is a rare thing
for a prisoner to make good his escape.
Twelve years ago Charles Pearce es-
capped from the federal prison here and
Officer Mcclure of that prison has left
for Marquette. Mich, to get him and
bring him back to complete his SEN
tence.
Pearce was tried and convicted in
the United States court at Topeka for
robbing postofTice. He was sentenced
April "a, 1895, to serve five years in
the federal prison. On May IL of the
next year he escaped.
In 1901 Richard Manning was con-
victed of burglary at Bessemer, Mich.
and was sentenced to eleven years in
the Michigan house of correction. In
the search for Pearce, Warden Nc
Claughry sent his finger prints to this
house of correction, which is located at
Marquette, and they correspond with
those of the man known as Manning.
Afterwards Manning acknowledged
that he was Pearce and arrangements
were made for bringing him here.

sighting his work for a long time
and was repeatedly criticised by Mr..
Abel. 1t did not do any good and in a
short time the younger man grew
mean and contemplate in his actions
around the house. He would grow
angry at the least order from his SUI
perior and in some cases he threat
ened to teach him a few lessons in
the art of running the farm without
an owner. Things grew worse until
last Saturday when Mr.. Abel dis
charged the man and told him to
leave the house. He left and day
later called up wanting to know if it
was possible for him to return to
work. He was told that another man
had been hired and then he desired
to come to the house to board. It was
at this time that Mrs. Abel and Log
ston had their first quarrel before the
rest Of the family. She told him
that it would be impossible for him
ito stay there any longer and he grew
furious at once swearing that he
would stay if he wished. He was sent
from the house at last and was not
seen again until yesterday when he
dropped in at a grocery store at this
place, purchased some bologna and
cookies and said he was going to the
Abel farm to get his clothes and 9TH

turn then and work the rest of the
day for the Taylor & Brooks nursery,

1t was personal letter from J. o.

that the company did not wish the

appreciation of courageous service.

ST. Joseph, Mo-, May 27.-W. c..
Brown, president of the New York
Central railway. for many years
resident of st. Joseph, and who began
hts rapid rise in the railway world at
this point, is the guest of friends. Mr..
Brown will go to St. Louis. where he
is booked for an address to be deliv-
cred to the international convention
of the railway department of the Y.
NJ. c. A. From there he will return to
New York.
Referring to congressional enact
ments and rulings of the interstate
commerce commission favorable to
the shipper as against the carrier,
Mr.. Brown said: lone of the crying
evils of railway management in the
past, and nothing but the strong arm
of the law would have stopped it, was
the practice of discrimination in fav-
or of large shippers, the giving of re-
bates and the distribution of passes to
secure more business. We all be-
Heved, the shipper as we'll as the rail-
road, that it was perfectly legitimate
to give a shipper whose business
amounted to 1000 cars per annum, a
lower rate than was given to him who
shipped one car in q year.
I'VE know better now. We know
that the man that ships little, no mat
ter how little, must be given the same
unit price. I have said that for long
time it seemed to us surprising that
the railroads, or at least some of them
did not recognize any definite rights
of the public that they were bound to
take into account. AS a result of this
condition the public rose up in it's
might and indignation, and it is a Sc
rious question today whether or not
the pendulum has not swung a great
deal too far in the opposite direction -

Low RATES FOR TROOPS.
Roads VIII Accept One Cent a Mile
and Sue for Balance,

Kansas City, May PA sort of an
agreement has been reached between
the railroads and the state whereby
the long fight over the amount the
railroads can charge for the trans
portation of militi2men appears to be
settled. The railroads have agreed
to accept one cent per mile, as all
lowed by an old law, and bring suit
for the other one cent if they think
they have any chance of collecting it.
This fight has been going on for two
years and began with the attempt on
the part of the adjutant general to
settle with the railroads for the trans
portation of troops to Fort Riley.
Under an old law the railroads were
required to transport troops at the
rate of one cent per mile per man.
However the railroads contended that
when the legislature passed the mile
age book law, providing for a rate of
two cents per mile, it repealed the old
law and did not longer require them
to make any rates to the state SOL

Important Victory Was Secured for
Public in This Case.


Public in This Case.
Chicago, May 27.-The travelling
public and the Hartman lines are
given an important victory by the de-
cision of the interstate commerce
commission, in which the Northern
Pacific railway is ordered to open the
from the east by establishing joint
through rates over the Union Pacific
lines and the Northwestern on or be-
fore July l.
By a divided opinion, the commits
sion holds the present routes to Ia
coma and Seattle over the Northern
Pacific and Burlington roads via ST.
Paul or Billings, Mont, do not afford
the public opportunity for reasonable
and satisfactory service. In order to
enable the passenger to travel by any
route he selects with equal facility
the commission orders the Northern
Pacific, Union Pacific lines, and the
Northwestern to join in the sale of
through tickets via Portland between
Seattle and other points in the north
west and Chicago.
The roads also are required to ac-
cord through facilities, like the check
ing of baggage, over this route.
The case has been the subject OF
controversy between the Hill and
Hartman lines for many years. The
Northern Pacific has persistently re-
fused to join in the sale of through
long haul of 1000 miles from Bill
ings or 1900 miles from st. Paul,
whereas on business received from
the Union Pacific at Portland it would
receive only the local rate from Port
land to Seattle, about lao miles.

the horrible sight of her mother lying
in pool of blood upon the floor. She
gave one look to see if she was dead
and ran out in the barnyard calling
for the hired man. Then the father
was informed and men were sent to
town for the aid of DIR. Smith, who
came to the scene at once. A search
of the house was made soon after
and the body of the man who fired
the shot was found in the sitting room
at the front of the house.
The course of the hired man after he
had killed the woman has been de-
scribed through the help of his death
bed confession and his traces. He said
just before dying that he had wander
ed around the house, not knowing what
to do with himself At last giving up
all hopes and realizing that he would
be accused of the murder in any case
he killed himself. On examining the
house an empty shell, the one which
killed Mrs. Abel, was found in his
room. He claims that he was out in
the yard and had shot at a bird but

general at the time and he refused to
pay the railroads two cents per mile

fused to pay and the railroads refused
to accept state warrants made out
for one cent a mile. However, the
railroads have finally agreed to &C.
