KILLED BY OFFICER,

was taki'ii to the police station where he
"lausrh"i and cracked jokes," accerdmgr
to Chief Stahl. There was certainly a
serious charge apainst Head or he would
not have been hit at all but although
l!i3 wound was not serious or alarming
he waa taken home instead of "being
locked up. Chief Stahl and his officer
offer no explanation of this strange pro-c-dinr.
RESULT OP THE AT'TOPST.
An autopsy was held this morning
over the body of George Head and it
was found that his skull was fractured
ty the blow from Policeman Hall's club.
The fracture is between four and five
inches long and extends across the fore
liead from one temple to the other. Dr.
1j. II. Jlunn. Dr. H. B. Hogeboom, Dr. R.
K. Kuckmaster, l)r. L. Y. Grubbs, Dr.
K. G. Stewart and Dr. C. E. Judd con
ducted the autopsy. Dr. Hogeboom said:
'The autopsy showed that Head's
skull had sustained a complicated frac
ture from a point over the left eye.
across the bridge of the nose to a. point
jibove the right eyo. The wound in the
scalp is about an inch long and the frac
ture about four inches long. There was
concussion enough from the blow to
irodU''e a hemorrhage of the brain. The
fracture would cause death at some time
if not right away by cerebral meningi
tis. The autopsy showed the organs ef
fected by excessive use of liquors."
Ul to S o'clock this afternoon Police
man Halt had not been placed under
arrest. He spent the day at the police
station.
This morning Chief Stahl visited the
county attorney to try and avoid n has
ty arrest. Airs. Head, the wife of the
dead man, also visited the county at
torney and talked the matter over, but
no wan ant was issued, as it was
thought wise to wait the termination
of the autopsy and the coroner's in
quest. ,
Hall will undoubtedly be arested.
THERE WAS A FIGHT.

85 Wounded by Chinese.
London, April 27. A Reuter dispatch

Farmers select certain food to bring
about desired results in their animals,
but it is not so easy a matter with the

The food specialist, however, has been
at work, and in Grape-Nuts we find a
food containing delicate natural particles
of Phosphate of Potash and larger quan

These unite in the human body form

GRANT'S BIRTHDAY.
79th Anniversary Appropriate
ly Celebrated at Galena.
Galena, 111., April 27. The 79th anni
versary of the birth of Gen. Grant was
celebrated here today. The occasion was
the tenth of a series and in every re
spect was successful. The speaker of
the day. Rev. Dr. Frank AV. Gunsaulus,
and a party of distinguished guests, ar
rived from Chicago at 1:13 o'clock and
were escorted to Turner i.n'u.
Rev. Dr. Gunsaulus' address was
warmly received by an immense audi
ence. The city was decorated in iionor
of the event, which was participated in
by leading citizens of towns and vil
lages within a radius of 100 miles. Let
ters of regret were read from Mrs. Gen.
Grant, Mrs. Sartoris, Admiral Dewey,
Senator Chauncey M. Depew, Senator
Allison and other prominent Americans.
William Rippen, president of the Grant
Birthday association, delivered the ad
dress of welcome.
Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus, thed orator
of the day, in his address said:
".We are w orthy of the memory of
GENERAL GRANT.
Grant only when we have his magnan
imity, straightforwardness, heroism and
sense of justice toward the oppressed of
every race. It is demoralizing for us to
parade our shallow scepticism as to the
value of emancipation and the necessity
of honest suffrage for the negro in the
presence of Ihis great name and seek to
simulate contentment as to the condi
tion of the freed men when the thunder
of his uncompromising righteousness
filles our ears. Justice must be done to
the negro who has the ballot in his
hands and the franchise must be pro
tected, or we must at last sink into
abysses of hypocrisy with Grant's mon
ument casting a shadow over us. Our
American life needs now as never before
to emulate the man who was as gentle
as he was strong, who never knew how
to boast and who believed in the sim
plicity of righteousness. It was Grant
who prevented the republic from break
ing its moral contract made by the
greenback, and it will be the American
spirit such as we then saw incarnated
in Grant at a moment when dividends
were counted more precious than hoor
or manhood, which shall now redeem
our pledges to the negro who was as
effective as the greenback in helping to
purify our flag.
"When Grant sent Sheridan to Louisi
ana to carry justice to the negro, his
was a Republicanism which must al
ways believe that a Hag worthy of re
spect will protect its citizens, black or
white, from outrage and wrong. It will
require a stern heroism at the north to
beat back a wave of supercilious and
unmanly prejudice against the negro
which will as practically deprive him of
his civil rights as that same prejudice
once enslaved him at the south. It is
a great day when Wise of Virginia, who
has in his blood the memory of that
Wise of Virginia who hanged John
Brown, stan.is courageously against the
apparent decadence cf the I'nion
League club of New York City and helps
to bring it back to the standard under
which it fought in the days of Grant
and Lincoln. It was mercantilism which
was w illing to permit Lincoln and Grant
to be ineffective against the slave power
nearly forty years ago. It is now a sod
den and greedy commercialism which
chokes the conscience of the republic,
and nothing but tae love of justice in
which the sword of Grant was sharpen
ed and ground vill save our nation and
(
our constitution as before. So long as
state sovereignty may annul constitu
tional amendments and destroy the lib
erty or threaten the ballot of an Ameri
can citizen, be he black or whiu;, we are
utterly unworthy of the memory of
Uiyssea S. Grant. His spirit alone makes
us a nation."
OFFICIALS DISAPPOINTED.
Their Car Can Not Be Attached to
President's Train.
W "W. Martin, department commander
of the G. A. R., received word from Sec
retary Cortelyou this morning that it
would not be feasible to attach another
car to the presidential train from Junc
tion City into Topeka. This frustrates
the plan of the state officers meeting the
president at that point and escorting the
party into the city in that wise, unless
the state officials charter a special train
of their own to run in ahead of the presi
dential train. It is not likely this will
be done, in deference to the wishes of the
president.
Secretary Cortelvou's dispatch stated
that the plan would not be' feasible be
cause tile train as made up would be very
heavy. It is said the make-up will con
sist of se'-en Pullmans and two or three
baggage cars. The secretary also in
formed Commander Martin that the gen
eral arrangement for receptions was for
the receiving parties to meet the presi
dent at their own cities, because of the
extent of the trip, and suggested that ar
rangements be made here to conform to
that plan.
The executive council is to take up the
matter of plans now. It is probable that
Friday, June 7 will be made Governor's
day at the old soldiers' encampment.
The governor and his staff would make
their visit representing the state on that
day, and return that night in time to
greet the president here next morning.
CALLS IT A WILD CAT.
Th&t Is "What Mr. Church Say3 of
Old Wayne Insurance Co.
Complaints have come into t-he office
of State Superintendent of Insurance
Church about the business methods of
the Oil Wayne Mutual Life Insurance
company, of Indianapolis. The Old
Wayne is not licensed to do business in
Kansas and is therefore classed as
working "Underground."
Thecomplaintsstatethat an agent of
the company has taken their money and
has not issued policies to them in rea
sonable time.
Superintendent Church says the Old
Wayne is a wildcat concern that has a
poor rating in its own state; that it
slips in and solicitis business in Kansas
without taking out a state license and
schemes to evade the law. He says to
proceed against the company would ne
cessitate going to Indiana with the suit
and the best thing for people to do is to
do business with duly licensed compa
nies. Some of the insurance taken by
the Gfd Wayne has been written in To
peka. BID RVKIFiLEY GOODBY.
Cuban Delegates Make Final
Call on the President.
Washington, April 27. The members
of the Cuban commission called upon
the president today to bid him farewell.
Senor Capote urged that something be
done at once toward reciprocal treaty
relations for the benefit of the Cubans.
The president replied that nothing
could be done on economic lines until
the present questions were settled; that
It would be necessary for the Cubans to
form a government before any negotia
tions could be entered into. He assured
the delegation that as soon as the Cu
ban government was formed he would
appoint a commission to consider eco
nomic relations.
Parole For a Woman.
Governor Stanley has decided to parole
Cora Frost, a Fort Scott girl, who was
led into evil ways, and is now in prison.

fested for the girl by the people of that
ooirummitv. Among these people are Mr.
and Mrs. M. V. Markham. of Henler.
The Markhams run a restaurant in Kep
ler, aril they have promised to give the
girl emplovment and a home in the event
of h'r release. Many letters have come
to the governor pleading for clemency
for the girl, and the matron writes that
she has been a model inmate of the in

Co., Kansas City, Mo.
New Tork, April 27. Nobody wanted to
buy stocks the last few days, not even
the lambs. Professional traders were
taking profits or selling short. Brokers
have been advising caution. The insiders
may keep stocks around these prices for
months. They cannot unload in a day
or a week. It is my impression that Mon
dav will be another big "boiling" day,
perhaps 2"- million shares. On sharp
bulges it will be advisable to take profits
on some of the stocks bought on yester
day's break. There is no great danger,
however, in buving around current levels

Kansas City receipts: Hogs, 5,000, 6a

Omaha receipts: Hogs.. 3,500: 5c lower.
New York: There will be no stock mar

graded.
Minneapolis receipts: Today, 206 cars;
last year, 274.
Liverpool cables: Wheat, d higher;
corn, Sfcd lower.
Chicago: Cables are up again this
morning, just as predicted, and the mar
ket will in all probability be held up to
dav in order to make good reading for
the Sunday papers. The cash situation is
the only legitimate support to wheat fu
tures and exports have been rather largo
for a month or more, but this -can be
accounted for, viz., English merchants
have been in fear that the English gov
ernment would impose an import duty on
breadstuffs and in consequence have been
laving in reserve stocks before the sug
gested dutv went on. America, of course,
got the call on account of being nearer
than any other wheat exporting country.
These large exports to England naturally
makes it a little difficult for cash grain
concerns, who sold wheat to the mills to
arrive to fill contracts, but as soon as
these holes are filled up we will see a
pretty sick market.
Chicago: Corn ought to be sold on
bulges around these prices.
