A clever piece of work was performed by Marshal Boiler and Sheriff Boyle Wednesday. Wednesday afternoon Marshall Boiler received a letter from Chief Kiely of St. Louis instructing him to arrest one Howell 0.

Ferguson wanted in St. Louis for embezzlement. Marshal Boiler remembered having seen a man in Manhattan Tuesday who answered the description in Chief Kiely 's letter. He notified Sheriff Boyle and they began the search. They found that their man had been in Ogden and they went to Ogden Wednesday night on the plug They were on the look out as the train pulled in.

A man who appeared to be the one wanted, boarded the car and went into the smoking compartment. Boyle and Boiler walked up to him i nd said, "How do you do. Mr. Ferguson" extending their right hands. Ferguson's face grew ashen.

He answered their salutations, and when informed of their business with him acknowledged that he was the man wanted. He had a ticket to Denver and intended to get off the plug at Junction City and take the dyer to Colorado. His captors took him to Junction, returning to Manhattan with him yesterday morning. Ferguson told them that he would return to St. Louis without requisition papers.

He 6aid that he bad stolen money from the hotel where he worked as clerk and used it to play the races and live a fast life. He had taken amounts at various times during a period of several years. Chief Kiely was notified of the capture. Ferguson is about twenty years old and has a "sporty" appearance. His apprehension is a credit to the officers who accomplished it and demontrates that when a job of smooth work is on hand, they can be depended on to do it.

Richard M. Joyce, a detective from St. Louis, arrived today to take Ferguson back with him. They went east on the afternoon plug. Rev.

Tunnel! Laid to Rest. The funeral of Rev. R. M. Tunnell, beloved pastor of the Congregational church ftor fourteen years, was heid from the church yesterday.

The cortege came directly from the 2:18 train, which was about forty minutes late, to the church. Mrs. Tunnell and Misses Jane and Bessie were accompanied by Rev. J. G.

52:7 in and John 14. The choir then sang "My Jesus as Thou Wilt." Dr. Dough erty of Kansas City then gave touch ing reminiscences of Rev. Tunnell's work in Kansas, of his fellowship with Dr. Cordly, Rev.

McVickar, Rev. Parker and others, and of the love which the hearts of all his people, wherever he was permitted to work, bore for him. He attributed much of the best of Congregationalism in Kansas to his faith ful service which extended from 1S until only a short time since.

State of Kansas, County of Riley, ss. Thomas Sweet, being first duly sworn, deposes and says: That he is the identical person lately referred to in a scurrilous attack made by one Leon Flint, a beardless scandal monger, one of the so called editors of a disreputable sheet locally known as the Manhattan Nationalist.

That during the month of November, A. D. 1904, he participated in a "coon" hunt with divers and various parties, aDd that the taid coon hunt took place in the state and count aforesaid, and that the same was a fair, square and honorably conducted coon hunt, varying not in the least from the oflicial rules for coon hunts as laid down by those most quoted authorities, the Marquis of Jueensbury and Mr. Iloyle. That the aforesaid (f)lint did in the aforesaid disreputable sheet make sundry and various insinuations that the aforesaid hunt was not conducted in a sportt-marlike manner, and that he did this to the great harm of the reputation the deponent, and that the said reputation has heretofore been good.

Deponent further says on oath that the results (net) of the aforesaid coon hunt were one full-grown female coon and one full grown male 'possum That the same were treed by two hounds belonging to Jim Tilton of Olsburg, Kan. sas, and that the aforesaid hounds have a reputation varying from that of the aforesaid (f)lint, as follows, to wit: they never do lie. For testimony on this point the deponent would refer any person wishing to investigate to any of the residents of Stockdale or vicinity. Deponent further states on oath that he has been reliably informed that Robert J. Pfeil and wife heard the baying of the aforesaid bounds when the said coon and 'possum were treed, and that the parties aforesaid stand ready to verify the statements of the deponent as to the hunt being genuine, and conducted in a sportsmanlike manner throughout.

And further deponent saith not. Thomas Sweet. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 1st day of December, A. D. 1904.

(seal) C. M. Brkkse, Co. Riley KaDS. Having miserably failed in the estimation of the public generally to tree a coon in the hunt pulled off Nov.

17-18, the valiaDt leader of the antipossoon association is trying to tree an editor. In the Nationalist of Nov. 23 some current rumors regarding this "hunt" were published and the editor, without expressing any opinion on the controversy, asked for more light. The above tirade is the answer. Can anyone read it and not be convinced that such unprovoked violence is a proof of guilt? The innocent do not need to use personal abuse to establish their rectitude.

It is not necessary to reply in detail to the above attack, nor indeed to reply to it at all. Only one observation need be made to show the utter worth- lessness of this affidavit. It sayfr: 'That during the month of November, A. D. r.04, he participated in a 'coon' hunt and that the same was a fair, square, Very likely he did.

We don't doubt it. But we are talking about a particular coon hunt on Nov. 17-1S. Nowhere in the aftida-vit does Mr. Sweet give the date of the fair and square" hunt.

Mr. Sweet is a great hunter. He probably went hunting every night in November aDd it would be strange indeed if one out of those thirty hunts was not "fair and square." To the personalities in the above document we make no reply further than to suggest that the character of the man making them is indicated by the charaett of the notary that he employed. Tii show our absolute reli-I ance in the strength of our case we of-; fer to leave the whole matter to an un-, prejudiced jury selected by ourselves. And we hereby name the following un-j prejudiced meu to act as a jury: May-jor Fielding-, A.

Wharton and W. S. Elliot. We have selected these three because we believe that they are strictly unprejudiced. And our reason for believing that they are not prejudiced against us is that we understand they have all said that "Tom probably had 'em tied to a limb."

There is considerable complaint regarding the making a dumping ground of the streets. No property owner has the right to throw things into the street abutting on his property. In addition to the feeling ashamed of a littered 6treet, the tumbles experienced by the bicyclist and the interference with traffic, there is a moral side to the question; such things cause some peo ple to lose their temper and perhaps their religion. The most complaint comes, at present, from the growing custom, when old stone sidewalk are torn up, 'of hauling away the large rocks and pitching the smaller ones promiscuously into the street.

I used l'eruna faithfully for three and one-half months, when my health was perfect once more. I have never had any trouble since." O. Fred Lindstrom. Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous lining of the kidneys, also called liright's disease," may le either acute or chronic. The acute form produces symptoms of such prominence that the serious nature of the disease is at once suspected, but the chronic variety may come on so gradually and insidiously ti.at its presence is not suspected until after it has fastened itself thoroughly upon its victim.

At the appearance of the first symp- l'eruna should lie taken. This remedy strikes at once at the very root of the disease. A book on catarrh sent free by The Feruna Medicine Columbus, O. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A.
