NEAR DEATH'S DOOR.
Topeka Young Women HaTeEx
citiiig Experience on Ocean.
Word has just reached hera telling of
the narrow escape from death at sea of
Miss Grace Church, daughter of Super
intendent Church, and Mis3 Belie
Welch, daughter of R. B. Welch, two
Topeka young women who have been
spending their vacation in California
and the Cataline Islands. After a short
stay on the islands, the young women
had gone back to San Pedro In order
to take shipping for San Francisco.
Waiting for some days they found that
b-rths could not be secured on the best
ships for two weeks, and not being
able to wait that long they finally took
passage on another line of vessels.
The ship which they boarded proved
to be an immense lumber vessel cover
ed w ith tar and rank with the odors of
lumber. The few passengers on board
were also the victims of th crowded
passenger traffic of the coast. Before
the vesst-I had got well out on the trip
toward San Francisco, a heavy storm
came up. The clumsy vessel, without
much freight, rocked and roiled help
lessly in the storm, turning until the
sides dipped water. Life preservers
w-re provided and studied assiduously.
With the sickening odors, the cear.eless
rolling, and the beating of the waves,
Mis3 Welcn describes the experience as
"one long horrible reality."
They n.ially landed in San Francisco
worn out with the distressing journey.
The young women are still n Califor
nia. SO D1TIDEXD YET.
Money Expected by Cross Bank De
positors Not ia Sight
Kmporia, Kas., July 23. The depos
itors of the defunct First National

United States district and circuit
courts, to the United States supreme
court. There the case will stick for
three years or more.
The money in controversy Is no
longer in the Emporia National bank
It is in the hands of the comptroller
of the currency either in Chicago or
in some other government depository.
The money left Emporia on the check
of Edwin F. Brown, the new receiver

Old English Custom Is to Ba Revived
at Coronation.
New York, July 25. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Hastings was the scene yesterday of
a most picturesque oid time ceremoniaL
The Brotherhood and CJuestlin? court,
which is the curious title given to the
council of the t'intiue ports, met there
for the first time since 160. to take
steps to assert the ancii- nt right of the
barons or free men of the port to take
part in the coronation. The privilege
was recognized in the ancient days
h-n the cinque ports Hastings. Hom
ney. H the. Dover and Sandwich con
stituted an important factor in the na
tional defense but the claim which is
now made was allowed to lapse at the
coronation of Victoria and Wiiiiam IV.
The usual number of barons at a coro
nation is thirty-two and they are em
powered to carry the canopy over the
head of the kirn? and queen and possess
the right of putting on their caps as
soon as the king is crowned.

Two Leavenworth Outlaws Cap
tared After a Gun Fight.
Leavenworth, Kan., July 25. Sol Tem
ple, a member of the old Ellsworth
gang of outlaws which several yeaxs
ago operated extensively in southern
Kansas and Oklahoma, ti&s been ax
rested here, together with William
Jones, alias 'William Henzeley. They
were taken by two detectives near Ft.
Leavenworth, in what is known as the
"Klondike," a saloon district outside
the army reservation.
They had, it ia alleged planned a raid
on the saloons and had cut the tele
graph and telephone wires to Leaven
worth to make escape easier. Temple
surrendered only when a revolver was
placed at his breast. Jones snapped his
revolver twice at the officer who had
covered him but it failed to fire, and
the officer shot him in the neck. The
wound is serious but not fatal.
Temple, will be taken to Pond Creek.
Ok., where he is wanted on several
charges and for breaking jail twice.
Jones, or Henzeley is about 22 years of
aire and says his home is at St. Jos
eph, Mo. Temple's identity was not
known at first until examined by two
detectives brought from Kansas City.
He went under the name of Murphy.
W I LL SUE THEC1T !.
Family of Bead Lineman to Ask Por
$5,000.
The Investigation made of the elec
tric wires of the light in Potwin where
David Woodall, a colored man in the
employ of the city came to his death
by electrocution, by James A. Ander
son, of the Edison company, revealed
what it is claimed is gross negligence
on the part of the city, and damages
in the sum of $3,000 will be asked of
the city at the next meeting of the
city council. Attorney Quinton has an
nounced his determination of carrying
the matter into the courts if settlement
is not made through the council.
Mr. Anderson reported that the guy
wire that supports the light pole was
not insulated and was too near the
pole. "The man could easily and un
knowingly come in contact with the
guy wire and the uninsulated portion
of the feed wire for the lamp," he said.
Mr. Anderson found the wires running
into the light plant in good condition.

MISS MATTOCKS DEFEATED
Washburn Teacher Loaea Poetry
Quoting Contest.
A novel match was pulled off in Chi
cago the other day, says the Kansas
City Journal. The victor was Nelson
C. Field, an Iowa editor, who defeated
Miss Lina Mattocks, professor of Eng
lish literature in Washburn college, To
peka, in a poetry-quoting contest. The
details of the set-to are interesting. To
quote poetry by the yard in 100 degree
weather is a feat of more than passing
moment, which becomes sensational in
view of the fact that more than an
hour was required to empty the Brown
ing reservoirs In the minds of the two
combatants. That any two minds could
retain enough of Browning, in such
weather as this, to fill two hours of
uninterrupted quoting is a notable ex
ample of both endurance and devotion.
The entire contest lasted three hours,
and then the Kansas woman was com
pelled to acknowledge that in this par
ticular instance the tripod outranked
the ferule.
The practical value of such encoun
ters lies in the attention they call to
the importance of a well-trained
memory. A memory taught
to readily retain poetry has received a
training of practical value. The mis
sion of the poet is a sublime one. It is
his to inspire, to console, to guide, to
teach. Too often is his mission de
cried and the mind filled with his words
regarded as effeminate. The average
claimant to an ordinary degree of cul
ture finds himself woefully weak when
put to the poetry test. Few people
could stand up under it for half an
hour especially the Browning test. It
is to some extent the fashion to regard
Browning study as a fad. As a matter
of fact Browning is a poet of genuine
feeling, of true sympathy and of abid
ing comfort. It will be a source of
pride and pleasure in many quarters
that two people could need an hour or
more to tell all they remember of what
he has done for the world.
BREWERY IS SUED.
Charge That Man's Death Is
Due to Liquor Sold Him.
Atchison, Kas., July 25. Elizabeth,
Ella and William Burchett, the three
children of James Burchett, who was
shot June 3, 1900, by Wiiiiam Douglass
Reneer, have filed suits In the district
court against the Zibold & Hargeline
brewery for J5.000 damages each.
Three separate suits are filed. They
are brought by Olive Burchett, wife of
the late James Burchett, and mother
of the plaintiffs. In the petitions the
plaintiffs allege that on the day of the
tragedy the brewery, through their
manager, Carl Sheele, sold certain
quantities of liquor to the three prin
cipals in the tragedy. In doing so, it
is charged in the petition, the defend
ants were directly responsible for what
followed. In the death of their father,
the plaintiffs state, they lost their sole
support, and are thus damaged to the
extent of So.CtoO each. Elizabeth is tne
oldest child, being seven years of age;
Ella is three years old, and William is
a babe of fifteen months.
A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Thomas County Citizen Searching
For Man Who Assaulted a Girl.
Atwood. Kas., July 23. One of the
most repelling outrages that ever oc
curred in the history of this section
was committed at tlw home of Simpson
Harrot, who resides two miles north of
Colby, Thomas county, Saturday even
ing, July 20. While the lS-year-old
daughter. Miss Cora, in the absence of
her father in town, was performing the
usual evening chores, she was assault
ed by a masked man and dragged for
a distance of more than SO rods into a
field adjoining the house.
On account of the desperate - fight
made by the girl she was kicked and
beaten into insensibility and lay in
the Held for more than two hours be
fore she was discovered. Bloodhounds
were obtained from Beatrice. Neb., and
at S o'clock Monday morning the man
had been traced to a point four miles
south of this city. From this point he
was tracked into the south central por
tion of the county, where the sheriffs
of Thomas and Rawlins counties, ac
companied by a picked force of men,
are searching for the criminal today.
If he is found it is very doubtful If
the trial will ever appear on the court
records of northwest Kansas. At the
last reports the girl was in a very pre
carious condition.

JOHN L. TALKS.
Old Pugilist Relates Experiences of
Other Pays.
Robert Edgren In the New Tork World:
There Is a man living Quietly up In Forty
second street whose name and fame are
more -widely known among the English
speaking races than that of any other
man. He is a big man, deep voiced, white
haired. Anglo-Saxons to whom the name
of McKinley is unknown, who could not
tell whether or not Kdward VII was king
of the Sandwich islands would glance at
his picture and say: "That is John L, Sul
livan, greatest fighter that ever lived."
"There were few that could stand
against that when I waa a lad." said John
I., yesterday, aa he thrust out tho lriight
left that has unmade champions in it
dav.
"It was great sport I made In thoaa
days, going around the country and hand
ing it out to every strong lad that tovk a
trv for mv thousand. There wasn't any
two or three year waits between tights
when John L. Suilivan wore the belt, my
boy. -
OFFERED tl-CttJ FOR FOUR ROl'NDi
"I used to have sumo grat times knock
ing around. In those days I offered a
thousand dollars to any man who would
nland up to me for four rounds. It nevr
made me poor at that, for thre wasn't
a man that couid stay with me when 1
was in the ring.
"I remember the biggest man I ever
fought. He was a big lumberman up in
Astoria., in the northwest. H used to
break a two-inch plank with his fists, they
say. They trained him up to iick John L,.
and the whole country up there b-t on
him to do it. That's where they were
foolish. I came in and made one rush. If
he had hit ni" he mieht have hurt me a
little, but I knocked him clear over the
footlights the first punch. When they
brouarht him around an hour or so later
he sat up and asked: 'Did I kill him?'
"Then there was a feliow In San Fran
cisco named Robinson. He was a strap
ping big man and was the local champion.
Hut he was a coward at heart. When t
went for him he fell down. He thought
h- d stav four rounds by going to tha
floor all "the time, but he went down so
offn without being hit they couldn't
stand for it.
'Peek-a-boo Robinson' they called him.
The nam drove him out of town and he
went to Mexico. He's there yet."
"What do you think of Kngiish fighters.
John? '
ENGLISH FIGHTERS T-SET TO EB
GOOD.
"They used to b good, all right." said
the big man, "but Americana are alwavs
better than them foreigners. Any kind
of an American is better than a foreigner.
You can Just p!te that In your hat. Look
how the American jockeys go over thr
and skin the Britishers. t'hrli Mitchelv
is the b-st they ever had. lit was a clever
lad. and I 11 say for him that they don't
make em anv grimer. even in America.
"But the Britinhers m to be gomg
back. They can't compare with ua at any
thing and "they are getting discouraged.

fighter we've got," said John L, changing
