In spite of all the pessimistic reports

FINGER PRINTS ON WINDOW.
Further Developments OF the Leayen-
worth Murder Mystery.


Leavenworth, Kan, June 10.-By fing-
er prints found late last night on a
window pane in the charred remains
Schultz, the police hope to locate the
person who yesterday murdered the
woman and then ignited her house In
ar effort to conceal his crime.
After searching the remains of the
dwelling for many hours in an EFFORT
to get a clew to the slayer, the police
came upon the marks on The glass. The
order to gain an entrance. It remain
ed in this position in the casing when
it was discovered. In the dirt on the
glass the prints were easily traceable.
They were from a right hand.
Warden r. w. McIsaughey, Of the fed
eral prison, made Il photograph OF the
marks. If any suspects are arrested, I'm,
hands will be taken and compared with
TT ose found on the glass.
The general opinion is that Mrs
Schultz who was a wealthy recluse, "A
years old, was killed by one of her
debtors She is known to have held
mortgages on several pieces OF proper
ty in the city. Her wealth was estfna-
ted at $4,000. Some think robbery was
the motive, as she kept large sums Of
money IN her house.
The fact that all OF the woman's
p:o,rtgages and abstracts had been care
fully inspected and then thrown about
the house is accepted by the police as
proof that someone IN her debt COM
qnitted the deed.
Mrs. Schultz was killed while she lay
in bed. Size was beaten to death with
an iron bar. Coal oil was poured on
the body and about the house to aid
in spreading the flames.

couldn't find the elusive sphere.
In the ninth, Claire captured Thorn
ason's popup, Middleton got the fancy
catch of the day on Boles' low one to
right and Hughes ended it by throw
ing Reilly out at first
The Topeka team played the loosest
game of the series, their three hobbies
being costly, and two Or three plays
being rather freakish where errors
could not be charged. Boles made a
noble effort to reach Westerzil's short
liner to center in the fifth and got a
bad fall as the result of daring dive
for 1T, but was able to continue in the
game.

SIXTH DISTRICT NOTES.
The Norcatur Dispatch Recognizes No
Political Party.

Political Party.
Hays B. White of Mankato, who is
making a hand-to-hand campaign for
congress in the Sixth district, has the
you for thirty-five years; you are mine
own people. I see no greater honor,
no higher renown than the opportunity
to do you good, and to keep step in the
forward march toward better govern
ment.''
The Norcatur Dispatch, which is a
Decatur county publication, speaks out
as follows: 1.-The Dispatch is for the
people regardless of their political be-
liefs. With malice toward none and
information for all, recognizing no
political party, faction, interests or in
dividua1s, but standing squarely on our
rights to do as we please, and tell you
what you want to know-the news"
c. M. Heaton has been appointed
postmaster of Lincoln. He served in
the same capacity under the admins
tration of President Harrison. He
made a good official then and he will
now. Some of his opponents will refer
to him as stand patter." He is a
Republican and is supporting Presi-
dent Taft.
The farmers of Trego county have
organized IAN independent political
movement. They claim that it Is for
house ring. They nominated for the
Legislature Charles Kirby and will
stand by him at the primary election.
The meeting of farmers for the pur-
pose of organizing this independent
political movement was not largely at
tended. Although 1t had been largely
advertised less than 100 were present.
Travis w. Benjamin is announced
as the Republican candidate for the
legislature in Cheyenne county.
c. A. Spelman of Graham county
refuses to allow his name to come
before either of the big political par
ties for the following reasons: II am
not in politics and don't care to be;
am neither a Republican nor Demo-
crat, and to come out on either ticket
places me in a false position which 1
do not care to occupy; in these times
of get up and go, one Is expected to
make a great big canvass, which am
not able to undergo, and for which I
can't spare the time or expense.
The Osborne Farmer has been keep
ing tab on the Sixth district political
situation. and has come to the conclu-
sion that Reeder will be renominated
in the three cornered fight now going
on, and gives the figures as follows:

permits ale probably playing this af-
tic rnoon with the Denver Bears. Cooley
has been chased completely around the
circuit by rain and on his first away
from home trip it cost him some mon
ey to have the dust layed for him on
every diamond upon which he played
but Omaha. But the Cooley team IS
home rain or shine, and the team has
done well. After a disastrous start the
team left home only q few games be-
low the 500 mark. The team has gone
against every one of the seven other
teams, on foreign grounds, is home
a gain and only few games below the
500 mark now. The team has some
road games left for this month but
will fight hard for an equal share of
the wins. Meanwhile help them tight
en- up little closer to that 800 mark
by attending the games, making noise
and watching that the umpire does not
give US the worst of it. Topeka is de-
clared to be the easiest town in the
league as far as poor umpiring goes.
