don't get the idea, guy, that you are
going to take me to the penitentiary,
said VIII O'Danie1s to Undersheriff
Newt Purcell, when Newt took some

He had almost sawed through an inch
steel bar and had he done SO, would
have been able to gain his liberty.
Purcell searched O'Daniels and found
that he had taken the main spring of
his watch and was making fine saws
with which to get out of Jail.
George bennett Of Rose Hill was in
the city Friday to interview O'Daniels
regarding a horse he had traded for
and which O'Danicls had stolen. Per-
sons from Coffeyville claimed one of
his horses and proved their property
and were allowed to take the horse
Now Mr.. bennett wants to know what
became of his horse.
O'Daniels took 1t to Wichita and
sold it and the next night made his

was driving a stolen mare which he
had obtained from Art Simmons of
Wichita. He killed the Simmons mare
because it went lame.

Ottawa Pastor Declines Jump
in His Salary.
Says He Lives and Saves
Money on Present Pay.

Ottawa. Kan, Jan. 21-Do YOU think
that everybody is in the job just for the
money there is in it? How many per-
sons do you know who would not quit
a little job with a small salary for one
that paid much more? Don't know
any? Well, do you know a single per-
son who, if offered a raise in salary,
would refuse it?
No.
Then here is the story of man who
did. He is one of ottawa,s own sons.
He has lived here for the last five
years. He is the Rev. H. A. Bentson,
the pastor of the Swedish Lutheran
church on Cedar street.
At the annual meeting Of the mem
bers of that church this year they
voted to give their minister decided
raise in wages. The news was broken
to him on the first day of the new
year and it was thought to make a
sort of New Years gift. The pastor
felt that they could not well afford to
do it, so he refused the offer. AS an
explanation of his action he said that
he was not in the business just for
the money He said further that his
salary at present was enough for him
to live on and to save a little by careful
MANAGEMENT for t'the rainy day. That,
he said. was all he expected to get out
of life from the viewpoint of finance.
A wear ago he resigned his position
as pastor of the churcn IN Spl-e ol Tie
fact that his parishioners offered to
raise his pay if he would stay. He went
to Denver University and did summer
work. The following winter he returned
to his little church and again refused a
raise Time and again he has had
calls" to other churches with larger
CONGREGATIONS and a larger salary, put
each time he has refused. He says that
he thinks the greatest thing in life Is
work where 1t counts for most.

DEATH REVEALS RIGHT NAME.
Ed Harris Lost Money and Took Hi
Own Life.

Kinsley, Jan. 21.-Ed Harris took
his own life with a revolver at Bel
pre-. The dead man left no explana-
ton of his deed, but a letter was
found in one of his pockets giving his
real name, which was not Ed Harris,
and the address of his parents in
Oklahoma.
Harris had been working in and
around Belpre for several months, for
some time with threshing crew and
later husking corn. Several weeks
ago he was known to have consider
able money, but at the time of his
death he had less than a dollar. Har-
ris had been drinking heavily of late
and the superstition is that he lost his
money and that his final act was done
in a moment of dependency.
1t is rumoIed also that a woman is
mixed up in the case and by some
this is believed to have been the dom
inant cause of the tragedy.

LeavenwOrth, Kan, Jan. 21.-The
vigorous fight which is being waged
by both the city and county authori-
ties against the lawlessness of the
Pike is beginning to show results. Sew
era1 incidents within the past week
have aroused a sentiment that this
district be cleaned up and those charg-
ed with the duty say that they will
make a determined fight to accom-
plish this end.

southern outskirts of the city and as
far south as Lansing has been haunt

Old Soldiers Not Safe.
The sluggers and dope men of the
Pike are not particular as to the meth
DDS employed to gain their end. A
stout club and a blow on the head
a brick heaved from the shadow of
some building, or a few drops of some
strong drug in a glass is often used to
place some grey-haired man in con-
dition where he cannot defend him
self. Any means at hand is employed
to rob the feeble old men.
Friday night a Pike slugger stopped
two Spanish war veterans and pro-
posed to them that if they could find
a chloroform man he could take them
to a place where an old woman had
$3.50. He also told of some old vet
Grams who would be easy picking after
they had been put to sleep with the
drug.
Thursday evening John Wright, a
member of the Soldiers Home, was
slugged and robbed by two men. He
stated that he was walking to the
Home and that the two men jumped
on him and beat him severely, after
which they robbed him of SIS. 1t is

lands are to be Cleaned up

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK?
Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Suspect 1t.

Nature warns you when the track of
health is not clear. Kidney and blad-
der troubles compel you to pass water
often during the day and get up many
times during the night.
Unhealthy kidneys cause lumbago, rheu-
matism. catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull
ache in the back joints muscles, at times
have headache or indigestion, time passes
you may have a sallow complexion, puffy or
dark circles under the eyes, sometimes feel as
though you had heart trouble, may have
plenty of ambition but strength, get weak
and lose flesh.
If such conditions are permitted to con-
tlnue serious results to follow;
Bright's disease. the very worst form of kid
ney trouble, may steal upon you.

George w. Under Arrest.

The arrest of a man in New York
the other day for throwing refuse
about the streets revealed once more
the historic name Of George Washing
ton on the police station blotter, the
Sun of that city states. Like his IL
lustrious namesake, the arrested man
could not tell lie and owned his
guilt.
1t has been estimated by many who
have made a special study of genealo-
gy and descent, as well as the spread
and change of names, that there are
in the world now 100000 males whose
baptismal name is George Wash
ington
And of those whose sole name is
George Washington, it is again esti-
mated that at least 5000 carry along
the inspired cognomen wherever they
go.
OF direct descendants, of course,
the Father Of His Country had none.
Negroes by hundreds were named for
him by slave masters before the Civil
war. Since then the name has been
a favorite with those blacks who had
to choose a family appellation be-
cause of not being certain about their
pedigree.

to the additional protection which the
