TOPEKA STATE JOTTIOTAL, FRIDAY EVENING. JANUARY 17," 1902. BUY ANDJSELL Intimated That Parsons Post office Is on Market. Sensational Story Printed by a Daily Paper. CONTROLLED BY FOLEY Ills Fellow Citizens Think tie Holds the Eejs.

Interesting Derelopments Are Expected Very Soon. There Is an ugly etory afloat In Par- eons regarding the disposition that is to be made of the Parsons postoffice since P. T. Foley has been turned down. The story is printed by the Par sons Sun, which is an anti-Foley paper.

The charge is that the Parsons post- office will be sold to the highest cash bidder. It seems difficult to believe that Each a. statement could be true. Foley is now in Washington and a telegram from there a few days ago stated that Foley said the only reason ha insisted on having the office was to show his enemies that he. could get it.

The Parsons Sun, in commenting on the story, says: "A Washlne-ton dip natch savs D. Mulvane. national committeeman, is authority for the statement that when Peter T. Foley's successor as postmaster of Parsons is chosen one of Foley's friends will ba made postmaster. There are nve or six candidates for the office.

"It is stated there that although Foley is in Washington, he is not there to at tempt to set aside the charges which have been made. againBt him, and that it is well understood that the president will not be asked to change his mind and rive Foley the place. "Foley, it is asserted by his friends there, the dispatch says, 'wanted to ba appointed to the Parsons postoffice in order to show some of his enemies that he could get the office if he want ed Now that he has accomplished his design he is satisfied, and will step aside as gracefully as possible when the time comes. "He says he did not want the office except for this reason, that he does not need it and never did, and that it was understood that his tenure in office vould be only temporary, as he would not have the time to give the office the personal attention it ought to have. "He also says that his business affairs require all of his time, and that only an Insatiable desire to punish his enemies ever induced him to try for the position in the first place.

"Bo many different statements have been made by Foley in regard to his appointment and the office that it keeps the public guessing as to which particular statement is true. "Since the turning down of Foley some very ugly rumors have been current on the streets of Parsons as to his successor. A report that Foley would control the appointment -has been followed by one that the office would go to the highest bidder, and It is common talk that from $1,000 to $2,000 has been offered for the office. "Foley himself is alleged to have confidentially confided to a number of his friends that he had such offers, and that the man appointed would be of his selection. "It is also common talk that Foley has repeatedly said to different persons that he bought and paid Burton for the office and the senator had to protect him." ON THE WAR PATH.

Pottawatomies Besiege a Bank at Dowagiac, Mich. Dowagiao, Jan. 17. Three hundred Pottawatomie Indians are on a rampage and are besieging Lee bank, which threaten to break open if they are not paid the money they expected to receive for signing over their claims to lake front land in Chicago. Many of the Indians arc armed.

The town marshal has sworn in a number of deputies. All other citizens are keeping indoors, fearing to leave their houses. The Indians came to town today to pet $38,000 which was to be paid them by an agent of the Chicago syndicate to which they have signed over their power of attorney to act in the lake front land case. The Indians were to have received $100 each. Just as the agent was about to issue the money an order was received from the probate Judge of the county instructing him to make payment only to the guardians of the Indians.

The Judge feared the Indians would spend the money in saloons and after becoming intoxicated cause trouble. RECIPROCAL CONVENTION. The Call For the Topeka Meeting of January 22-23.

Thebaud'a Valet Who Btole $50,000 in Jewelry.

Chicago. Jan. 17. Theodore E. Manners.

who la under arrest In New Orleans, is positively Identified in Chicago, aaya the Chronicle, as the valet of Paul Q. The-baud of New York and fugitive under charg-e of having stolen worth of Jewelry from the wife of ni3 employer. The identification is by Dr. Louis F. Wlth.rspoon of 1002 West Madison street, who, the prisoner declared, would identify him aa the son of a pawnbroker in this city.

Dr. Witherspoon says that the photographs of th. miselns valet, who disappeared with a fortune In diamonds, are unquestionably exact pictures of the man he knows aa "Manners," althoug-h, oddly, the suspect aav. lr. Witherspoon aa a reference and aa one of the men who could prove that he was what he claimed to be a son of a Chicag-o pawnbroker, with a residence at 3100 Qroveland avenue.

I know Theodore K.Manners.or the man who represented himpell to me under that name," said Ur. Witherspoon, out ne never told m. that he was a citizen of Chicago. He always claimed that he was resident or Mew York city. "The Manners whom 1 know and who ia certainly the valet wanted for the big Jewelry robbery In New York, waa in Chi-casro last week.

He called on me at my office and later we took dinner together." or. Witherspoon says ne nrst met Manners on the pier in New York city two vears asro and that when they left the Bhip in Hamburg, Manners gave him valuable Information regarding resorts in Germany and Switzerland, showing he waa an experienced traveler. Dr. Witherspoon says Manners always had plenty of money, and when here last week said he was going- to New Orleans, then San Francisco. Manners always claimed to me.

said Dr. Witherspoon, "that he was the son of the Dresident of a large firm that imports and exports fruit, and that he acted in the capacity of auditor, visiting European agents of the firm." CHUKC1I GROWTH. Statistics Show the Catholics to Be in the Lead. New York. Jan.

17. Statistics on the growth of the churches of the United States in 1901 and the order of denominational rank in 1890 and 1901 have been completed by the Rev. Dr. H. K.

Carroll, who is in charge of the religious statistics of the United States census of 1890. At the end of 1900 there were 360.610 members of all churches in the United States, according to Dr. Carroll's figures, and 28.090,637 at the end of 1901. a gain of 730.027, or 2.67 per cent, or greater than the gain In population. 2.18 per cent, the annual rate of increase In population from 1890 to 1S00.

The Catholics lead with a present mem bership of 9,158,341, a gain of 468.083. Dr. Carroll rates the increase in Roman Catholic membership as too high and regards the figures as those of the growth of several years in a large proportion of the dioceses. The percentage of growth in the Protestant Episcopal church, 4 per cent. Dr.

Carroll regards as large. It is next to the Roman Catholic, the largest growth of the year and was greatest in the eastern cities. The accessions to the Protestant Episcopal church were from Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Congregation-allsts, and other denominations rather than from the non-church public. The Disciples of Christ, whose membership is almost wholly in the middle west, has almost doubled its followers since 1890. Of Christians Dr.

Carroll says that he took his statistics from the mother church at Boston, while his figures are much less than some scientists claim. The statistician found 22 different kinds of Lutherans in the United States. The total Lutheran growth last year was 36,101. much of whkh was ia the independent synods that at lxwa alone being 21,000. others loet heavily.

Of his own body, the Methodists, he says that with a total membership of 2,762,691 the Methodist North increased but 16,500. Last year, however, many evangelical movements, in which the Methodists led, were undertaken, and it has been claimed that 600,000 new members were brought in. It is Dr. Carroll's belief that there are 300,000 Mormons in or about Utah, and it is stated that 65.000 converts were made last year by 1,400 missionaries in the east. A fact brought out by Dr.

Carroll Is the tenacity of religious bodies, no matter what the discouragement. There are 12 winds of Presbyterians. In 1900 the twelfth kind had only one minister and a handful of members. Last year the minister died, but the handful of members are still faithful, and probably will remain so. They call themselves Reformed Presbyterians in the United States and Canada, TAKE IT AWAY.

Venezuela Bends a Note of Protest to England! New York, Jan. 17. According to the Washington correspondent of the Herald, Venezuela has sent the following cablegram to the British government; "Caracas, Jan. 9, 1902. Minister of State, London: The English steamship Ban Righ, armed for war, is inimical to Venezuela.

Minister of Foreign Affairs." The British foreign office has not replied to this note. Officers of the British warship now at La Guayra, the seaport of Caracas, consider that the Ban Righ, which is now called the Libertador by the Venezuelan Insurgents, is a smuggling and revolutionary vessel, and they will not interfere with her movements because she has not committed any piratical act up to the present time against foreign interests, says the Herald's Washington representative. The craft, they say, can not be considered as an enemy to the human race. EASTERN CAPITAL. Half Million Be Invested in Oregon Timber Lands.

Portland, Jan. 17. Eastern capital in excess of half a million dollars is to be invested in Oregon timber lands along the Columbia and McKenzie rivers and plans will be matured within the year for the erection of sawmills to convert the standing timber into marketable lumber. Benjamin Sweet. W.

G. Collins and W. H. Bradley, of Milwaukee, who, represent a vast amount of financial backing, have been on the Pacific coast for several weeks past and within that time have inspected timber lands in Oregon, Washington and California. The men named are engaged in the lumber industry in Wisconsin to a large extent, and the growing demand for lumber, coupled with the gradual depletion of the middle western forests has made it necessary to establish a new base for supplies of raw material.

BUFFALO DYIKU OUT. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bough! Bears the fiigrratinra of Herd in Yellowstone Park Ia Swindling Away. Butte, Jan. 17.

According to reports received from the Yellowstone national park, the buffalo held within its confines are rapidly disappearing, and unless congress makes further provision threaten to become extinct. New blood must be introduced into the little herd of bison frequenting gelserland. Last winter but 18 buffaloes remained in the Hayden valley of the former herd of SO. The specimens that now exist lack the strength of their former hardy precedessors and are barely able to withstand the rigors of the winter. Elk are reported more numerous than any other animal in the park.

There are at least 60,000 of them within the park limits. Antelope, too, are numerous, especially In the valley of the Gardiner river, where a band of 1,000 is sometimes seen. It is urged that a fence be built across the canyon, as the animals, having lost the greater part of their fear for man, wanted across the park limits and become prey of the hunters. 2,380 DEATHS. British Reconcentrado Statistics Tor December.

London, Jan. 17. A blue book issued today on the subject of the concentration camps in South Africa contains further detailed explanations from Lord Milner, the British high commissioner, and Lord Kitchener, as to the causes of the excessive death rate in the camps, and refutations of the charges of cruelty.

If the prisoner and his friends had been suspected of a design to explode dynamite in the court, the precautions against the admission of unauthorized persons could not have been more stringent. Eivery one was closely scrutinized and compelled to produce a card of admission. The prisoner pleaded not guilty and the solicitor general.

Sir Edward Henry Carson, proceeded to detail the facts already testified to in the' police court. Broecksman, whom Dr. Krause Is alleged to have incited to the murder of Foster, was executed by the British in South Africa. CITY MUST PAY. New York Professor Recovers Fees for Chemical Analysis.
