JOINS GOOD WORK
Warden Tomlinson Recommends
Civil Service.
Baneful Effect of Politics
Plainly Seen.
MAKES HIS REPORT.
Still $30,000 Worth of Twine
on Hand.
T? apa mm ATI da Tonstrnction of
Cottages For Employes.
J. B. Tomlinson, warden of the Kan
sas penitentiary, believes in civil service
reform in the institution and recom
mends the adoption of that idea in his
biennial report filed with Governor
Stanley.
"Persons should not," says Mr. Tom
linson in his report, and the suggestion
is unanimously endorsed by the mem
bers of the board of directors of the
prison, "be given employment at the
prison, in anv capacity, because of per
sonal or political iniluence. Employes
should be selected because of the fit
ness and capacity."
This sentiment will be received with
pleasure by the people of Kansas, re
gardless of party, because Kansas be
lieves in civil service reform in the state
institutions, both penal and charitable,
and thtre is a unanimity of sentiment
in the state at large in favor of taking
these public institutions out of the bale
ful influence of politics.
The warden alsogenerously commends
the parole system adopted by Governor
Stanley with reference to prisoners and
recommends that the governor's plan be
elaborated, in some respects, and made
a matter of law by legislation.
Another important subject in the war
den's report is a recommendation that
the Bertlllon system of measuring
prisoners be adopted. This makes iden
tification possible under any circum
stances, whether a prisoner or an ex
convict be alive or dead.
Mr. Tomlinson also suggests that the
state authorize the construction of cot
tages for the use of employes and otfi
cers of the prison. He calls attention
to the fact that the prison has a brick
plant, plenty of stone and labor, and at
a small expense could erect on the un
occupied lands owned by the state, a
number of cottages which would accom
modate the men who now are compelled
to hustle for places in which to live
while they are employed at the prison.
Mr. Tomlinson also recommends that,
in addition to the twine plant, no addi
tional manufacturing enterprises be in
augurated In connection with the prison.
The warden recommends that the twine
plant be placed under the management
of a competent superintendent, instead
of under the warden, as it now is.
When prisoners, discharged, leave the
penitentiary they are supplied with a
suit of clothes. Mr. Tomlinson thinks
the quality of the clothing now being
supplied is not as good at it should be,
and recommends that the inferior stuff
be displaced, in the future, by better
material. This will necessitate a slight
increase in the appropriation, which ha
recommends.
A coid storase plant, in the opinion
of the warden and the board of directors,
would pay for its cost in a single yea:,
and the legislature 13 asked to establish
such a plant.
. A competent electrician is also sug
gested, as an addition to the present
force, to take charge of the lighting and
power supplied by the prison plants.
These duties now devolve on others, who.
in the opinion of the warden, have all
that they can attend to and do it well,
so he suggests the change.
An inter-communicating telephone
system and fire alarm pystem are also
recommended for the prison; also pro
vision for insurance of the building-s and
property. No insurance is carried, but
tires have caused a loss, in the past two
years, amounting to $13,Oj0.
The twine plant product was sold to
the amount of J-0.285.56. Of this amount
all but $264 has been paid, and the bal
ance is now in process of collection.
, There is now on hand twine worth $.10.
259.26. Probably next year the twine
product will be jold to jobbers and
dealers, instead of direct to the con
sumer, as was the practice this year.
However, this has not been fully de
termined by the management of the
prison.
The Populist administration left a de
ficiency legacy of $1,759. This has not
been paid, and the legislature is asked
to settle it. This is the only deficiency
in the financial affairs of the prison at
this time. Warden Tomlinson has
turned into the treasury over $1,000 un-

made for the prison during the preced
ing years.
An appropriation, of t-0.000'l3 asked
for repairs and new buildings, of which
$2,000 is for new cell room. The balance
is the funds necessary to keep the ma
chinery, and prison property repaired
and in good condition.
There are now in the penitentiary 951
prisoers. The previous year had 916.
The publication of the reports of the
warden and directors will this year be
limited. The Populist administration
published 2,500 of the report made by
Warden Landis. Of these about 1,000 are
piled up at the prison, having never been
sent out. An additional 800 are at the
state house. This, by the present ad
ministration, is regarded as extrava
gance and unnecessary expense, and the
necessities only will be provided for in
the report made by Mr. Tomlinson,
which Is now in the hands of the state

III TJOOUTII,
XTrugnay About to Sever Friend
ly Relations With Brazil.
Bolivia Shows a Disposition to
Get Into the Game.
New York, Nov. 28. A dispatch to the
Herald from Rio Janeiro says:
Official information of a positive
character has confirmed the reports that
Uruguay is about to sever friendly re
lations with Brazil. It is admitted that
the government at Montevideo has inu
mated that it will soon hand his pass
ports to the Brazilian minister.
The cabinet has discussed the atti
tude of Uruguay, but in the absence of
dehnue action has not decided wnat
course shall be pursued.
Bolivia also Ls showing some feeling
against Brazil. Its minister has pre
sented a protest against alleged support
given to the republic of Acre by the au
thorities of the state of Amaaonas. The
Bolivian minister informed the minister
of war that the Bolivian troops have
been hampered greatly in their" work or
suppressing the rebellion because sup
plies have been received by the insurg
ents throusrh Brazilian territory.
Through its soldiers and its friendship
with Peru, the Bolivian government has
been unable to stop war supplies from
the west. Its officers who are endeav
oring to suppress the trouble report.
however, that the rebels, many of whom
have come from the state of Amazonas,
have no difficulty in obtaining munitions
bv wav of the Amazon and Burus rivers.
Brazil is asked to take decisive meas
ures in co-operation with Bolivia to end
the rebellion.
SIX POWERS READY
To Sign the Proposed Joint
Agreement With China.
Paris, Nov. 2S- It is said on high
authority that Germany has assented,
without modification to the joint note
prepared by the ministers of the powers
at Pekin and that France has also con
curred. The officials of the foreign office deny
the statement from Pekin that France
has seized territory at Tien Tsin for the
purpose of tripling the size of tier con
cession. A dispatch from Pekin to the Havas
agency says the ministers of the follow
ing powers declare they are authorized
to sign the joint agreement to be pre
sented to China.
Germany, the United States, Great
Britain, Austro-Hungary, Belgium and
Italy.
CONGKP. TOLD TO WAIT.
Washington, Nov. 28. The state de
partment has cabled Minister Conger to
forward the text of the agreement
reached by the foreign ministers at Pe
kin. Meanwhile he will withhold his
signature until the president has had an
opportunity to satisfy himself as to thi3
important document and to make such
changes as will bring it in accord with
our policy.
It is saf3 to predict that this particu
lar agreement will not become effective
in its present shape. It appears tha.t
upon inquiry directed to the powers
themselves their ministers at Pekin have
not correctly reflected their present
views as to the basis of the peace nego
tiations. This statement certainly is
true as to a majority of the' powers in
terested and the fact is regarded as
warranting the prediction that the
agreement must be modified or aban
doned. It is "learned at the state department
that while these negotiations are drag
ging along at Pekin. some of the Amer
ican consuls in China are achieving
practical and valuable results by in
dividual efforts. They are addressing
themselves in cases directly to the
viceroys of the great provinces where
American property interests have suf
fered to secure Indemnity and repara
tion, and in most cases they are suc
ceeding very well. It is surmised from
the latest Chinese advices that the Eng
lish consuls are doing likewise and are
collecting many claims and the moneys
are being turned over to the mission.
If this method continues it is entirely
probable that neither Great Britain or
the United States will have to prosecute
individual claims for indemnity through
the slow moving agencies at Pekin.
SAT IN A DRAUGHT.
How the Czar Laid the Founda
tion of His Sickness.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 28. "While the at
tending physicians of the czar until re
cently asserted that no complications
had been observed in, his majesty's con
dition, a physician In court circles de
clared a few days ago that there- had
been pectoral complication from the be
ginning which, he added, explained the
influenza diagnosis of the early stages of
his sickness. He further asserted that the
illness of the czar was in the first in
stance caused by the fact that he sat
between an open window and an open
door dictating, and that Baron Fred
erick, the aide de camp, general and
minister of the imperial household, had
been greatly blamed because he was
present and did not remonstrate with, the
emperor.
Twelve Miners Killed.
Paris, Nov. 2S. A dispatch from
Aniche, near Touai, says a quantity of
dynamite at the bottom of one of the
coal mines there exploded today from
an unknown cause. Twelve dead miners
and eight injured have been removed
and eighteen are not accounted for.
Now is the greatest opportunity to buy
wall paper and moulding, for Beckstrom
is selling out his entire stock, regard
less of cost.
tm. SELLS' STORY.
Continued From First Pag.J
The dog was Tony, which has figured
previously in the suit.
He never knew of Mrs. Sells having any
othjr communication with Bott.
Air. Sells at llrst . allowed his wife J30
per week for household expenses. Later
this allowance was increased to $35.
"Beside this, I paid all other big bills,"
said he.
A telephone was put In the house during
the husband's absence. It was placed in
the linen closet on the second floor.
Peter objected to the iocation, as It was
Inconvenient. She insisted on it being left
where it was, because of the privacy af
forded by the closet.
Mrs. Sells and Florence visited West
Baden during the summer of 1899. He
knew nothing at the time of any meeting
there between Bntt and Mrs. Sells.
Mrs. Sells declined to go to Philadelphia
or West Baden with her husband because
of the expense.
Sells looked for some other companion,
and after several failures, asked Bott to
go, at Mrs. Sells' suggestion.
Bott did not positively accept it. Later
on Mrs. Sells changed her mind, and de
cided to go with her husband to West
Baden.
On the train from Cincinnati to West
Baden Bott appeared. He had been In Cin
cinnatl a couple of days, he said. He
made no explanation of his presence. The
departure of Mr. Sells had been delayed
one day by the death of Joe Mutter, the
Columbus bill poster.
During several seasons Mrs. Sells vis
ited the Thousand Islands. She was ac
companied by her daughter Florence.
Miss Huddley Ambos, of Cleveland, com
panion of Miss Florence, accompanied
them in 1S9S.
In the direct examination it developed
that when Peter Sells left his home, in the
fall of 1889, he took only the clothes he
wore. All his papers are still In the pos
session of his wife.
During the West Baden visits Mrs. Sells
snent a large part ot Dotn torenoon ana
afternoon in her room.
"How long were these stays?" Mr. Booth
asked.
"Oh, I don't know." was the reply. "I
paid no attention I had no suspicion.
"Mrs. Sells had been at the hotel two
weeks before I got there. She seemed to
know almost every one in the hotel."
Sells had no knowledge of any calls paid
by Lyons to Mrs. Sells in his absence, nor
of any presents or correspondence being
exchanged. He never found Lyons in thei
rooms on returning from an nnsence.
Miss Klla Souders, a second cousin of
Mrs. Sells, visited them at the Park.
Lyons occasionally -called, ostensibly upon
Aliss Ssouuers.
THE ENGAGEMENT.
Mrs. Sells told her husband that Lyons
was engaged to be married to a young
lacy in .fittsourg. sne sometimes toKea
Lyons on it in the presence of others.
After the Sellses moved to their new home
Lyons called and once said that his en
gagement was broken. Lyons occasionally
calico at tne foens apartments, ana m
company witn otners. piayea a social
trame of cards. Sometimes it was noker.
sometimes it was pedro, euchre and crib
baee. While these games continued at the
Park hotel no lunch was served. Some
times after the game was over Mrs. Sells
would ask for a sandwich. He had no bar
bill.
Lyons very seldom called, to the knowl
edge of the husband, after the Sellses
moved to the new house. Sells sometimes
bought coal through Lyons, and he vis
ited the House to attend to tne ueal in
person.
Lyons was used to "fill in" at social
card games when invited guests failed
to appear. Mrs. Sells sometimes suggest
ed mat ne oe invited.
Lyons withdrew from a "penny-ante"
game one night because he was offended
at Judge Bradbury, of the supreme court.
Bradburv alwavs beat him.
Peter thought Lyons' conduct very small
in such a small game.
"If he played till doomsday he couldn't
lose much, said he to Mrs. Sella. "I
guess we won t invite him again.
NOT A PARTICIPANT.
Mrs. Sells very seldom took a hand in
these card games. After the rame was
over a small Dutch lunch was served. Oc
casionally a drink of whisky was served
to some of the gentlemen during the
sme. - -
Sells quit smoking In 1R94, and he did
not smoke at all until the past winter.
Therefore, he never threw arry cigar butts
or scattered cigarette ashes in his wife's
bed room.
"My relations with Mrs. Sells were very
pleasant. She always treated me well in
my presence. We were quite an affection
ate couple. We always embraced and
kissed on meeting and parting. My treat
ment of Mrs. Sells was always kind and
indulgent. I provided for her always well,
and as llberallv as I was able to do.
"Until the fall of lsift) I never had any
reason to doubt the fidelity of my wife."
In response to a question. Mr. Sells stat
ed that the first Information he received
as to the alleged infideiity of his wife
came from John Mahoney. detective.
This was on October 21. 189S. After hav
ing a talk with Mahoney Sells left the
city.
On returning in November from the trip
with the circus, he was met at the depot
by his brother Iewis, his daughter Flor
ence and Mrs. Sells.
That evening he called on Attorney
Sater at his residence. Later that evening
Mr. Safer called at the residence.
On the morning following his return he
talked with the servants.
On Saturday, the day after his return,
he had a talk with his daughter Florence,
and told her what he had learned.
A JURY TODAY.
Evidence in Morrison Murder
Trial Will Begin Shortly.
El Dorado, Nov. 28. It begins to look
now as if a jury to try Jessie Morrison
for the murder of Clara Wiley Castle
would be secured today. The special
venire of 181, which was secured Mon
day night, was begun on when court
opened at 11 o'clock Tuesday. At 8
o'clock, when Judge Shinn adjourned
court sixty-five of these men had been
passed for cause and three accepted.
In the afternoon the defense landed a
solar plexus blow on Mr. Holford's pros
pects as a Juror. At 3 o'clock H. W.
Schumacher, one of the attorneys for
the defense, received a telephone call
while the court was in brief recess pur
porting to be from J. W. Riffe of Au
gusta. Mr. Riffe, so Mr. Schumacher
said, told him that Mrs. T. I). Cody, wife
of a. farmer living three miles east of
Augusta, had said that Holford had
borrowed a paper containing the ac
counts of the Morrison case from them
and had stated freely that MiBB Morri
son should be punished, as she was
guilty.
The lawyers for the defense asked for
time in which to subpoena Mr. and Mrs.
Cody. Judge Shinn stroked his beard.
"Rather than delay this case another
day I will excuse Mr. Holford for cause,"
he said.
The attorneys for the defense smiled
at their final victory over Holford, who
was not given a chance to deny the
Riffe-Cody story. It is said that Mr.
Cody Is a relative of W. F. Cody ("Buf
falo Bill").
The coat of the Morrison case to But
ler county is assuming big proportions.
Court has been in session seven days and
as yet no jury has been selected. The
cost so far of securing veniremen has
reached $2,000 and the people are begin
ning to grumble. They say the work is
going entirely too slow. There are 100
witnesses subpoenaed and they are
piling up fees at the rate of Jl a day
each. This takes the sentiment out of
the Morrison case for the tax payers of
the county. To be sure, most of them
have been summoned as jurymen and
have neen the defendant and her rela
tives and the Castles and Wlleya, but
they do not think the game is worth the
candle.
The music of a band which paraded
the streets of El Dorado drew Olln
Castie from his seat in the court house,
where he has been watching the pro
ceedings and he walked toward where ,
the band was playing, puffing away at
a cigarette. Castle is leader of the local
band and music has a strange power
over him. In the band he was associ
ated with a brother of the young woman
who is charged with having killed his
wife.
J. T. Evans, assistant cashier of the
Farmers and Merchants bank of El
Dorado was one of the Jurors called in
the needed venire.
"Have you formed or expressed an
opinion of the guilt or innocence of the
defendant?" asked Prosecutor Brum
back of .Mr. Evans. "I don't know,"
replied Mr. Tvans, "but when I went
home at noon my wife said I had." The
remark caused a ripple of laughter and
Judge Shinn excused Evans.
Despite the rain that fell in the after
noon, the courtroom wag crowded. Miss
Morrison has a careworn expression and
she seldom smiles when some funny
circumstances happen, as she did when
the trial began. Olin Castle's face also
shows deeper traces of worry than ever
before. T. B. Murdock, editor of the Re
publican, was summoned as a juror.but
was excused. He has lived In El Dorado
thirty years, and was never a witness in
any court other than a justice court,
and waa never summoned as a Juror
before.

New Y'ork, Nov. 23. The Ijondon mar
ket is irregular. B. & O. and S. Pac. are
features. Other are nominally at New
Y'ork party. Foreigners will buy B, c O.
and S. Pao. and selling others. The mar
ket will be one of specialties. A persis
tent effort haj been made for a week or
more to break Anaconda and some thous
ands of shares of Ions? stocks have been
lost in consequence. Don't be afraid to
carry N. Y'. Central, Atchisons and C. 4
O. over Thanksgiving. Penna. and N. Y.
Centraj should stand at the top in the
investment list. We feel conlldent that
N. Y. Central will sell many points higher
between this and early spring, hence we
have no hesitancy in advising its pur
chase. J. ARTHUR JOSEPH.

Trade. Topeka, Kansas.
Chicago, Nov. 28. WHEAT Wheat has
Bold at low price on crop for December
kind today under pressure from longs.
The bulk of trade, however, has been
changing of the December over into May
and January, with the difference changing
but little from that of yesterday. Liver
pool cables were not very active and cash
business light at this point, although low
grade wheat were quotably better. Brad
street's was about as looked for and caus
ed but little comment. Seaboard reported
ten loads for export. The northwest sit
uation on flour remains unchanged, with
receipts still running lighter man last
year. Very little stir over the fact that a
holiday tomorrow as local traders have
been inclined to keep close to market for
pat week.
CORN The feature In corn has been the
apparent abandonment of the November
deal, the price dropping from 50 to 40c.
Phillips says he made some settlements
last night on about 650. OK) bushels and
that he is out. The deferred futures were
weak, the December and May Hi to iic
lower. Receipts were 2V4 cars. The esti
mate for tommorw is 380 cars. Clearances
640.000. With increase in country move
ment and November deal over corn seems
high enough for the present.
OATS Everybody was changing in oats.
No. large lines, but a multitude of small
ones. The December-May difference la
2c. the widest so far. Elevator people
ore taking the December, the commission
people selling it and taking the May. Re
ceipts onlv 80 cars.
PROVISIONS Have been easv, pork off
74 to 12Hc lard olf 10 to 17V.C. ribs off 7ii
to 10c. There were 44.000 hogs with prices
2H to6c lower and 107.000 hoR in the west
against 6,0ti0 last Wednesday and 94.IHIO
last year. Commission houses have been
rather free sellers of lard. There was
considerable buying of December and
selling ot January. J. tr. HARRIS.
