ROGER'S COMING
Tending Arrival of Oom Paul at
Marseilles
Is Attracting Much Attention
Throughout Europe.
WELL KNOWN PEOPLE
Bjr the Hundreds Are Gather
ing to Meet Him.
Transraal President Will
the Talking Hereafter.
Do
New York, Nov. 19. Dr. W. J. Leyds,
the Transvaal minister to the courts of
Europe has arrived at Marseilles, ac
cording to a World dispatch from Paris.
He comes to meet President Kruger,
who is due to arrive soon on the Dutch
cruiser Gelderland. The three Boer spec
ial envoys who have been visiting Eur
ope and America seeking intervention to
restore peace in South Africa, will ar
rive today from Paris. Dr. Leyds at
Avignon, two hours distant from Mar
seilles, said positively that Mr. Kruger
will land at Marseilles, and not at
Naples, or Genoa, as has been persist
ently rumored. On being asked about
Mr. Kruger'3 plans Mr. Leyds replied:
"Really, I know scarcely more than
you do," adding smilingly:
"Hereafter you must apply to the
president himself for information when
he gets here. One man will represent
the Transvaal and one man only."
Several delegations met Dr. Leyds at
the railway station in Marseilles- He
postponed discussion of the Kruger re
ception arrangements until today. When
Dr. Ledys' carriage drove into the great
interior court of the Hotel Noailles, al
though great crowds lined the curbs,
there was no demonstration. Dr. Leyds
wnt directly to his apartment. He de
clined to receive newspaper reporters
ani began to dictate answers to a huge
accumulation of dispatches. More than
600 prominent people from Paris. Berlin
and Amsterdam have arrived at Mar
seilles, Michael Davitt among others.
ARRESTED FOR TWO CENTS
Farmer Fails to Place Revenue Stamp
on a Note.
Mattoon, III., Nov. 19. Failure to
place a 2-cent revenue stamp on a note
for $25 precipitated trouble between Na
thaniel Myers and F. A. Welch. two
Clark county farmers. Myers gave the
jnote to Welch as security for paEture
rent, a difference arose over the terms,
and Myers refused to pay. claiming there
was no revenue stamp on the note and
it was not binding. The justice before
whom the case was tried upheld Myers'
contention.
Welch brought the matter before the
federal authorities and Myers was ar
rested on a charge of violating the in
ternal revenue law. Today United
States Deputy Commissioner Dyas at
Paris heard the case and. while there
was a technical violation of the statute,
decided that Myers had not intended to
defraud the government and he was dis
charged. Bin i mif nnT m it

"Under No Circumstances"
Senatorial Candidate.
M. A. Low is out of the list of possi
bilities for United States senator. Mr.
Low, in a statement to some of his
friends, said:
"Under no circumstances will I be a
candidate for United States senator. My
present position in the service of the
Rock Island railway company satisfies
me, and I would not be disposed to
change places for Senator Baker's seat,
even if the opportunity should present
ttself."
This takes Mr. Low out of the con
test. He may remain a dark horse, but
for that matter the woods are full of
inceptive candidates and they will con
tinue to multiply until the end. It has
been said that Mr. Low, to avoid com
mitting himself, will go hunting next
week and will remain away a month.
Mr. Low goes on this trip every fall, and
bis going this year is of no political sig
nificance. He will be gone only two
weeks. It is possible for him to be
elected senator this winer. for there is
no telling what the legislature will do,
but it is certain that he will not in
vite or encourage anything of the kind,
and his acceptance is doubtful, even if
elected.

FOOTBALL AT KANSAS CITY
Ottawa to Play the Strong Medic
Eleven Today.
Ottawa, Kan., Nov. 19. The Ottawa
university football team, which has been
so crippled for the past few days, has
rearranged some of the positions of in
dividual players and will put up a much
stronger game with the Kansas City
Medics today than has been expected
by those in close touch with the team.
In fact, the line-up Saturday night and
the vigor and team work shown was on
a decided par with anything shown by
the team this season. . Peterson has
gone to complete the season with Em
poria and Cook will take his place. Bur
nett will fill the position made vacant
at full back, and King will probably go
into the game in his old time form. He
has been laid up with a sprained ankle
received in the laskell game at Law
rence, but is now back in the game.
Lambertson is also in good shape for
quarter. Thus the back field will not be
weakened by the absence of Peterson.
Captain Evans, who was slightly in
jured in the recent game with Emporia,
is again in prime condition and says he
will be able to help defeat the Medics
the second time.
SIIAFFERJS" OUT.
Murray Myers, of Wichita, the
New Asylum Steward.
E. L. Shaffer, of Council Grove, has
given up the position of steward at the
Topeka asylum and Murray Myers, of
Wichita, has been elected to succeed him.
Myers is a close friend of Governor
Stanley and is prominent in the Republi
can party in Sedgwick county. He is not
a business man in the strict sense of the
word, but is literally a politician, having
held numerous local offices, the last one
being treasurer of Sedgwick county.
Myers Is to take charge of- the office as
soon as he can give the necessary bond
and arrange his affairs to come to To
peka. Shaffer resigned as the result of a con
troversy with the board of charities.
The board at first removed Sharfer from
office, declaring the position vacant when
Shaffer was out of town receiving treat
ment from a broken limb, the injury be
ing sustained while he was umpiring a
game of baseball at the asylum.
Shaffer returned to the city, notwith
standing the fact that he had been or
dered to report to be checked out of of
fice, and reported for his official duties.
To this the officers of the asylum and
the members of the board strenuously
obiouted and insisted that Shaffer vacate.
But ne refused and demanded an investi
gation. He assumed this position in accordance
with the provisions of a decision of the
supreme court in the now famous ten
ure of office act. under which John
Breidenthal has been able to hold the of
fice of state bank commissioner under a
Republican administration.
A majority of the members of the board
of charities, agreed that there was cause
for Shaffer's removal, but when confront
ed with the legal phase of the preposi
tion, which guarantees the steward the
right to investigation, they deciined to
a.ct, so the matter was patched up, the
scandal which the members of the board
alleged was hushed, and Mjr. Shaffer was
permitted to resign.
The resignation, at the time of the con.
traversy placed in the hands of members
of the board, named November 15 as the
date upon which Shaffer's connection with
the institution should cease. When that
date arrived Mr. Shaffer packed his
clothes and departed. Immediatelv the
board of charities declared Murray Myers
steward, but he has not yet reached To
peka. While waiting for Myers to take charge
Superintendent Biddle is bearing the bur
den of the work of the steward. The in.
stitution and the board are now awaiting
the convenience of Mr. Myers.
MARTIN IRONS DEAD.
Director of the Famous Missouri Pa
cific Strike Passes Away.
Houston, Tex., Nov. 19. Martin Irons,
who was once leader of the union labor
organizations, and who directed the
great Missouri Pacific strike in the
eighties, died yesterday at Bruoeville,
twenty miles south of Waco. Irons came
to the county three years ago and, stop
ping with Dr. G. B. Harris, the then
Populist county chairman, he found con
genial company and began organizing
Social Democratic clubs.
"Anti-Money-Rent" was the slogan
used to arouse the tenant farmers, and
in the course of a few months the en
tire south border of McLennan, east
part of Ball and northwest portion of
Falls counties were organized into the
clubs. The organization extended to the
east side of the Brazos river.
MRS. SIMPSON DEAD.
Prominent Pioneer Kansas Woman
Buried Yesterday.
Norton, Nov. 19 Mrs. Emma Simpson,
one of the most estimable ladies of Nor
ton, was buried Sunday. She was the
wife of Win. Simpson, who died about a
year ago. The Simpsons were old set
tlers of Norton county, respected and
admired by all. The husband was a
strong candidate for the Republican
nomination for congress in the Sixth
district, in the Phillipsburg convention,
six years ago. The pall-bearers were
those who served at the funeral of her
husband.

OUR GUNS ALL RIGHT.
Chaffee Says So in Response to
Official Inquiry.
Washington, Nov. 19. Some disparag
ing criticism upon the American field
gun as exhibited in the Chinese cam
paign led Adjutant General Corbin to
address the following inquiry to General
Chaffee:
"Adjutant General's Office, Novembei
15, 1900. Chaffee, Pekin: Asserted our
light artillery guns did not meet all re
quirements service compared with other
armies. What are the facts.
"CORBIN."
The following response has been re
ceived: "Adjutant General, Washington, No
vember 16. Replying to your No. 72, our
battery better than any army in cam
paign. German battery" just arrived;
some features superior to ours. Powder
charge in case fired with trigger like
pistol. More rapid account result. Break
arm also better, calibre not quite so
large. Our battery highly praised, par
ticularly so by General Linevitch, who
said he felt like taking off his hat when
ever he saw it. No battery so effective
as ours in attacks on Pekin.
"CHAFFEE."
GOTHAM HORSE SHOW.
The Sixteenth Annual Exhibit Opens
in Madison Square Garden
New York, Nov. 19. The sixteenth an
nual exhibition of the National Horse
Show association opened in Madison
Square Garden today. Nearly $10,000 in
excess of the prices offered at any pre
ceding show are bid at the auction sale
of box seats. Sixty-four box seats were
sold at an average of $400, the highest
price being $625.
As against 1,300 entries last year
there are nearly 1,500 this season. The
ring committee for today and tonight
are Colonel Delancy Kane and George
Peabody Wetmore during the day and
William C. W'hitney and William H.
Taylor for the evening performance.
MAY BE COURTMARTIAL.
Trouble Between Capt. MoCalla and
Lieut. Com. ColwelL
Washington, Nov. 19. The proceed
ings in the case of Capt. McCalla is a
court of inquiry and not a court martial.
The navy department was advised some
time ago that trouble had arisen between
Capt. McCalla, commanding the Newark
and Lieutenant Commander John C.
Colwell, formerly naval attache at Lon
don, and now executive officer of the
ship. While the department was ac
quainted with the fact it left the matter
to the' commander-in-chief of the sta
tion, Admiral Remey, to adjust. He has
now found it necessary to appoint a
court of inquiry, which will determine
the merits of the dispute between the
two officers. Should this tribunal recom
mend a court martial in the case of
Capt. McCalla it would be necessary to
relieve him immediately from his com
mand and order him to the United
States, for there are not a sufficient
number of officers of the required rank
on the Asiatic station to form a court
martial for the captain.
BERNIIARDT'S PLAN.
May Alternate With. Operatic Stars
Upon Her Return to Paris.
Paris, Nov. 19. There was a prodig
ious coming and going of guests, trades
people, dramatists, even of mere guests,
at the residence of Sarah Bernhardt
prior to her departure for America, and
more plans were sketched out for what
she should do on her return to France
than the great artist will ever be able
to accomplish, despite her tremendous
activity.
Beyond any manner1 of doubt one of
the boldest of theses and its very bold
ness, as well as its character of refined
art, was well calculated to attract this
most enterprising of manageresses a
project of which no whisper has been
published and which has to be tempo
rarily abandoned in face of the enor
mous! expenditure which it would entail,
was to add next year to the Theater
Sarah Bernhardt an, opera company
whose performances would alternate
with those "of the eminent tragedienne.
To a few friends Sarah had begun to
sketch out the elements; of the company
she wished to gather the De Reszke
brothers, who, as is well known, for a
long time past have cherished the idea
of establishing in Paris a model opera,
to which they would lend their talents
and their artistic sense; Mile. Breval,
M. Plancon and many others.
This plan, conceived on the eve of de
parture for America, is perchance only
a castle in Spain, but with Sarah the
seemingly impossible has so often been
realized that it is permissible to say,
"chi la sa?"
ROBBED THE FIDDLER.
Joseph Eberle Is Being Tried For the
Crime.
The trial of Joseph Eberle, a Russian,
for the holding up and robbing of Chris
Schultz in June was commenced in the
district court this morning.
Last June there was a Russian wed
din in North Topeka. Chris Schultz was
the musician who furnished the music
for the wedding dance. The festivities
.lasted until early in the morning.
Schultz claims that he was on his way
home from the wedding and was held
up near the north end of the Santa Fe
bridge. He says the man who held him
up smashed his violin and took $24.95
from him. He claims that Eberle was
the man who robbed him. As all the
parties to the case and the witnesses
are Russians the trial is being conducted
with the aid of an interpreter.
WANTS THE COURT ROOM.
Semi-Centennial Exposition Company
Wants It Por a Work Room.
County Treasurer Philips has filed a
petition with the county commissioners
asking that the Kansas Semi-centennial
Exposition company be allowed the use
of the court room to be vacated by the
court of appeals.
The court of appeals goes out of busi
ness in January, and sthe north court
room on the second floor of the court
house will then be vacant. Mr. Philips
asks that the exposition company be al
lowed to use the room on the grounds
that the exposition is a matter of pub
lic interest and benefit to the city,
county and state. There has been some
talk of allowing the city court to use the
court room. The city court is at present
situated in a not over desirable room
in the basement. If the commissioners
decide to allow the city court the court
room other quarters may be found for
the exposition company.

bate on the Brigham H. Roberta resolu
tion in congress last winter.

A SELLSSUITOR.
TContinued From First Page.
Sherlock Holmeses who watched the Sells
house, was called. Ehret is now a sa
loonkeeper and lives at 25 East Naghten
street. He has beeen in Columbus for
2H years and was employed for many
years at the Union station. He workea
for Mahoney about four months. He
knew William Bott. also Harry Lyons,
He was first put to watch Lyons on the
night of October 23. On the night of the
25th he followed Lyons from his boarding
house to several places about town. Lyons
about 8 o'clock took a car and went
north. He got off at Buttles avenues,
walked to the house at the southwest
corner of Buttles and Dennison avenues
(the Sells house) and rang the door bell.
He talked for a few moments to some
one at the front door, but did not go in,
and then went back down town. The
"shadow" was soon after taken off Lyons.
On the night of October 27, he saw Bott
come to the Sells house. He entered at
the front door. The door was opened by
a woman. He could not see her features,
but she was the taller and older of the
two women he had seen at the house. He
also told of the lights and shadows in the
house. On the night of November 3 he
again saw Bott at the house. He was
again a.dmitted by a woman, the same one
as the former night. Ehret said that be
fore Bott would leave the house the wo
man who admitted him would come out
of the front door, walk out on the porch
and look up and down Buttles avenue.
She would then go back in the house and
Bott would come out. He said the woman
always made an inspection of the street
before Bott would come out. Bott was
admitted to the house on November 9
by the same woman, and again on the
12th. On the night of October 2G he saw
a man enter the house by the side door,
but the lights were out and he could not
recognize him. When he attempted to
follow the caller gave him the slip and
he lost him.
Ehret said that on one night he was
watching the house and was standing on
the corner. A woman came out of the
house and walked up to him. She took
a good look into his face and then pass
ing him a few steps, turned and walked
back to the house. He was asked if he
knew the woman. He said, "yes," and
turning around in his chair, pointed to
Mrs. Sells and said, "There she is." Mrs.
Sells looked him in the face with a steady
glance, while a slight smile curved her
lips.
RAID POVERTY HOLLOW.
Strange to Say the Robber Got
161.
Guy Roudebush was arrested this af
ternoon by Sheriff Cook charged with,
robbing Mrs. Harrison of $145.
Mrs. Harrison and Roudebush live
with Mra Caroline Hercules, mother of
Mrs. Harrison, a mile west of Lowman
Hill in a district known as "Hungry"
or "Poverty" hollow. Mrs. Hercules and
Roudebush claim that some time Sat
urday night a man entered the house and
took $9 from under Roudebush's pillow,
$145 from under Mrs. Harrison's pillow,
and while he was getting $5.65 from un
der Mrs. Hercules' pillow he awakened
her and she gave the alarm. Roudet
bush claimed that he got his Winchester
rifle and hunted for the man but could
not find him. After hearing all the stor
ies Sheriff Cook thought there was
enough suspicion to justify the arrest of
Roudebush
THE ICE TRUST.
Governor Roosevelt Answers the Van
Wyck Charges.
Albany, N. T., Nov. 19. Governor
Roosevelt has prepared the following
memorandum of the charges against
Mayor Van Wyck of New York City in
the Ice Trust matter:
"There are three wholly distinct sides
to the let Trust matter.
"In the first place, there is the general
question whether the American Ice com
pany, dealing as it does in a necessary
of life to the poor people of New York,
is one into which it was proper for a
public spirited man to enter. This is, of
course, not a question for legal action
in any shape or form.
"Moreover, it is unnecessary to point
out that, whether the corporation is
legal or illegal, proper or improper in
character, it is an act of utter hypocrisy
on the part of any public man to de
nounce trusts in general, and this trust
in particular, in the platform and on the
stump, while he at the same time, in
his private capacity, holds stock, or has
held stock, that he thus denounces.
"Attention is called to this feature
simply because an effort has been made
to show that unless legal action against
the trust or some of its stockholders can
be taken, these same public men are to
be exonerated.
"Second There is the question wheth
er or not the existence of this so-called
let Trust is in violation of the anti
trust law. This, of course, can only be
decided by the courts.
"On May 28, 1S00, the attorney general
instituted proceedings to annul the cer
tificate of the Ice company under this
law. The corporation, through its coun
sel, has fought the action at every stage
on technicalities, not on the merits of
the case. The first decision before Judge
Chester was in favor of the state. An
appeal has been taken by the defendants
which was argued weeks ago, and the
attorney general is daily expecting a
decision by the appellate division on this
appeal. The defendants obtained a stay
of proceedings pending the appeal.
"All possible diligence has been shown
by the attorney general in the effort to
secure the annulment of the certificate,
and nothing could have been done by
the state to expedite proceedings, which
has not been done. The delay is due,
of course, to the course of the corpora
tion itself, whose stockholders include
the public men above alluded to.
"We now come to the third side of the
matter, the only one in which the gov
ernor, in his? official capacity, has any
power whatsover to act, . viz., the
charges against Mayor Van Wyck.
"Inasmuch as the question as to
whether the lee corporation is or is not
a trust or monopoly is before the courts,
for decision, until they have acted, ac
tion by the governor can only with pro
priety be taken, under the Greater New
York charter. So far as the charges are
brought under this charter, it makes no
difference as regards the mayor's con
duct, whether the aforesaid corporation
is or is not a trust within the meaning
of the law."

Chicago, Nov. 19. WHEAT The cables
this morning, after our decline Saturday,
showed an advance of 4d and were th
firincipal factor in causing a high open
ng. Notwithstanding the fact that a liirt-e
short interest existed here, they felt se
cure in their position fur the reason that
cash mqiiirv was slow. The market hi Id
fairly steady until the visible was posted
showing an increase of over a million arm
a half, much to the surprise of the trade,
when there was a continuance of the li
quidation which has been going on for
the past week and prices were carried
down to the low point on crop. Farmer"
deliveries have been large while clear
ances were only fair. There seems to be
a feeling that prices are down to a basis
where a demand will take place, and with
lighter Russian and Argentine shipments
this country is the only place for the
foreigner to get his supplies. At and about
70c is a good spot to begin to buy this
wheat.
CORN Corn shorts in November had n
little scare at the opening, it advancing
Zl but it was on tap from holders ami
on small selling settled back to 3Hc.
Nine hundred cars were estimated for
Tuesday and this started the gelling.
Country offerings were moderate. The
visible showed large increase. It looks as
if there was still some short interest in
November, but the deferred options look
high enough.
OATS It has continued a changing af
fair in oats with moderate receipts and
finaMy easy prices. The interest nas b--i
almott entirely in the spreads, the December-May
difference being 2 to 'c.
PROVISIONS Have ben steady with
the whole trade small. The spurt in corn
influenced the provision temper somt
Offerings were light There were 46,io
hogs with prices 6c lower and 32,000 es'i
mated for Tuesday. The west had 80.i00
against 61.000 last Monday and 66,000 last
year. The pit crowd keeps bullish by the
advance in stocks. No significant trade
today either way. Cash trade rather quiet.
