Ventriloouism Aids swindIer.

Ventriloquism as an aid to check
swindling was successfully employed
by a stranger who called himself G.
Simms, and who got $40 from Chas.
Snyder, a merchant, at Madison. He
bought a can of paint and gave the
check in payment. The form of the
check and it's signature looked all
right, but Mr.. Snyder was still doubt
full whether or not to accept it when
Frederick Williams, whom Mr.. Sny-
der knows well, entered the store
and passed by the two at the counter.
AS he passed Snyder thought he
heard Williams speak in a familiar
tone to the stranger, saying, Right
on the job, eh?" Convinced that
Simms was an acquaintance of Will
Jams, Snyder hesitated no longer, but
made the change. He discovered on
investigation that he had been duped.
Williams said he had made no re-
mark to the stranger, and Mr.. Snyder
is sure the man brought his powers
of voice throwing into play.

Topeka, Kan.-The foes of Speak

Kansas primaries. The Insurgents
carried six of the eight Republican
ngre districts, and may have car
ried seven. Their entire state ticket,

The primary was the first real test

WOMAN STAYS PHYSICIAN
DR.. George M. Stewart Killed on
the Eve of His Wedding.
Edna Wallace of Pittsburg in Jealous
Rage Shoots Former Admirer
and Herself.

Pittsburg. = A, sensational crime
was uncovered here three days after
it occurred when the dead and almost
nude bodies of DR.. Emert c. Stewart,
a prominent physician, and of Edna
Wallace, a beautiful woman of the
lower world, were found in Stewards
handsome home at 1904 Penn avenue.
There is every evidence that the
Wallace woman killed DR.. Stewart
after a fearful struggle and that she
then turned the revolver on herself.
The crime is supposed to have been
committed some time within the three
days preceding it's discovery, though
the condition of the bodies when
found led the police to believe that
the pair had been dead some weeks.
Later witnesses were found who saw
a man and oma enter the home
stead three mornings before.
The evidence points to the conclu-
sion that Edna Wallace, who was
long an acquaintance of the young
doctor, became enraged when the
wedding garments of DR.. Stewart,
who was to be married, we're shown
to her.
His wedding suit, Wn1cn was
brought home from the tailor some
weeks ago, was found torn almost to
ribbons in the room where the bodies
lay, the woman having evidently tried
to tear the clothes up in her rage and
that the doctor in his effort to save
the clothing and his own life had
overturned and broken almost every
thing in the room.
Edna Wallace ran an evil resort on
Lambert street, which was much fire.
quented by rich men of Pittsburg.
DR.. Stewart, who was a member of
several clubs, was the favorite
nephew of D. G. Stewart, a man of
large wealth, who about one year
since left Pittsburg for Virginia and
turned the old Stewart mansion on
Penn avenue over to the doctor, who
is about thirty years old. This did
much to establish the standing of DR..
Stewart in Pittsburg society.
The woman was very large and
strong, while DR.. Stewart was slim.
"I1l get you YET" Edna Wallace is
alleged to have said to DR.. Stewart,
with whom she was infatuated.
The dead woman is said to have
been worth 100000.

The wig is only worn by. English
barristers to give them a stern, judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it fails in this respect. The GUS
tom was originated by a French
judge in the seventeenth century
when, happening to don a marquis
wig one day, he found it gave him
such a stern and dignified appearance
that he decided to get n for himself
and wear it at all times in. court
This he did, and the result was so
satisfactory from a legal point of
view, that not only judges, but bar
r~isters, also took up the custom
throughout Europe.
