BURRTON, Kan., Oct. 24.-After a deter mined chase and an exchange of shots, flvs men who It Is believed robbed ths Burton bank on Thursday were, captured last night on an Island In the Arkansas river, fifteen miles from Burrton, and lodged In Ve Newton Jail. They gave their names as James Bell, aged 3; George Olson, 26; E. H. Johnston, 3S, who was severely wounded; Thomas White, 24, and Frank Harwood. 26. Johnston Is badly wounded, bring shot in the head, breast, arms and leg with No. 4 shot. The men declare they were never In Burrton, but W. L Daly, a merchant of Burrton, Identi fies them as the men who came to bis store Thursday evening. The bandits had only 630 in their possession when searched Parties are now going over the trail look ing for the money which Is supposed to have been burled. Yestaruay, In a tight between two of the pursuers and three of the robbers, Harry Westmascotte, who was carrying a double barreled shotgun, fired at the men and. In addition to wounding one, knocked a re volver from his hand. Friday afternoon 150 rltlxens formed at this point, sytd fol lowing a trail of blood located the robbers In a wooded Island In ths Arkansas river? A party of thirty heavily armed men. with the assistant cashier of the bank, E. E. Shlve, then proceeded to wade across while the rest of the pursuers covered the Island with guns and revolvers. Seeing the over whelming odds against them the robbers waved a white handkerchief and crawled from the sand pits they had dug and sur rendered. TJie men gave as their reason for being unable to escape that they were compelled to assist their wounded leader. It Is thought that these men may have been the same ones that held up the eating house at Mc Farland recently. The men claim they are Iron workers from Kansas City and Joplln. TOPEKA. Kan., Oct. 24. The stolen money was recovered this afternoon, to gether with the robbers' safe-cracking tools, In the brush on ths Island whera the men were captured.

Cap- la t K ff tk ft-Vai of J -! rnjMrtMt V Um IN CLUB ASS CHARITY Just now, at this season of the annual convention In ao many of the states, and with so many national officers, past, pres ent and would-be, circulating so generally, one hears a grest desl of the political side of the club movement, snd. sll In all. It Is Interesting. It la of the aspirants to the presidency and board membership which one hears most, however, and the woman who Interests herself to ' the extent of watching what Is going on cannot be sur prised at the developments promised at the St. Louis biennial next yesr. There can be no doubt that Mrs. Dlmles T. S. Denlson has strengthened her popularity smong western club women by her recent visit among them. Such contact Is always conducive to persons! Interest thst Is, In the main, liable to be more favorable than otherwise. This Is certainly true In Mrs. Denlson's esse, for with one yesr of her term as president closed, with so much accomplished, and standing to her credit a year of tactful administration of the affairs of the General Federation while acting president during the absence abroad of her predecessor, Mrs. Lowe, she is gen erally recognised as well qualified to fill the office that Is hers, and clubdom Is only waiting to see her preside over a biennial before committing Itself regarding her re election. With her wide personal ac quslntance with the clubs of almost every state, Mrs. Rabert Burdetta of California, first vice president, Is regarded by many as Mrs. Denlson's most likely successor, but wirh a great many others this very acquaintance will be Mrs. Burdette'a greatest obstacle to succession to the presidency, as her extensive visiting among clubs Is looked upon as self-advertisement that has prejudiced many against her. In spite of her persistent and almost sensa tional refusal of the presidency at the Los Angeles biennial, Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker of Denver Is still the choice of a host of women, east, west, north and south, and would be a formidable opponent for any woman In the General Federation, If she should favorably consider accepting the office. But the woman who Is looked upon as the most likely candidate, should Mrs. Denlson retire after her first term, or even at the close of the second term. Is Mrs. Phillip Moore of St. Louln. Mrs. Moore, as chairman of the local biennial "board, will naturally be very much In evidence during the biennial next May, and upon her In a large degree has fallen the responsibility of the undertaking by the St. Louis women. As president of the Wednesday club, the Influential club of St. Louts, and also presl- dont of the Missouri Federation, Mrs. Moore la among the foremost women of her own state, and at the Los Angeles biennial last year came prominently before the convention In the Interest of the proposed Hall of Philanthropy, as chairman of the committee for the permanent memorial to the Louisiana Purchase. Her promi nence In a hostess' position will add to her strength as a candidate for the presi dency. And, last but by no means least, there Is the women of ""whom one hears little In this connection, but who has had a conspicuous and very responsible part In the last two biennials, Mrs. Emma Fox of Detroit, second vice president of the General Federation, and for two terms recording secretary. While it wss Mrs. Rebecca Douglas Lowe, as president, who received the credit for the conduct of those two trying meetings, when reorgan isation and the' color question came before the convention. It Is known now 'that It was the quick Judgment and parliamentary skill of Mrs. Fox that kept the convention off the rocks at Milwaukee and again at Los Angeles, for It was she who supplied the decision while Mrs. Lowe, to gain time, asked for a repetition of the ques tion, the motion or whatever It happened to be. It Is confidently predicted by many women of the east that Mrs. Fox will re ceive a stronger support from that section than sny other women at the close of Mrs. Denlson's term. Dr. W. O. Henry will address this after- noon'a gospel meeting of the Young Women's Christian aesoclatlon, his subject to be "The Holy Lands." This address was to have been made last week, but the date was changed on account of other spe cial evangellatlo services. The association Bible classes opened last week with sixty-four members. The educational committee announces a change In the date of the first number of the entertainment course. Dr. White's lec ture will be given Monday evening, No vember 23, Instead of the 16th, as an nounced. November 14 and 16 have been announced as the dates for the state convention of Young Women's Christian associations, which will be held at York. About sixty young women enjoyed the Monday evening rally at the gymnasium, the gymnasium committee serving refresh ments after the game, concluding a very enjoyable evening. The gymnasium girls will give a mask party Monday evening, November 3. The. gymnasium and sewing classes will begin at South Branch this week, the Bible classes and Sunshine club having al ready resumed their meetings. The exten sion committee has been especially active among the factories this fall, and a num ber of speakers have been taken to talk to the young women, whose noon hour will not admit of their coming to the associa tion rooms for the noon meetings. Monday Mr. J. H. MoConnell, who has been singing In the city, conducted services at M.' E. Smith's, and Tuesday noon Dr. Walton addressed the young women at Byrne Hammer's. Ha was assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Lowe. The suffragists of FawnOe county wi'J hold a county convention at Table Rock Thursday and Friday of this week, and Saturday NNemaha county will hold a con vention at Peru. -Mrs. Frank Young, state president, and Miss Gregg will be among the speakers. , f Mrs. W. W. Keysor of St. Louis, sx president of the Omaha Woman's club. Is expected Wednesday and will apend several dsys In the city. On Thursday she will be the guest of the art department at the morning meeting, which will be followed by a buffet luncheon In her honor. On Saturday afternoon -at 1 o'clock Mrs. Key sor will deliver an art lecture at the First Congregational church, the proceeds to go to the art department.

JUDGE SLABAUGH HONORS THE PIONEER Hla Retleeneo the Result of Hla Sad Experience with Men Who Were Rent en De ceiving; Mlsa. In speaking of Thomas Murray the other day Judge Slabaugh said: "A biography of ths pioneers of Omaha would be a valuable contribution to the history of the city. It would be the true history of Its early days. I should think that an annual reunion of the pioneers. In which would be presented and preserved historical data, would be very pleasant for them and profitable for us all. From what we have seen of these persons in late years, even with the help and Inspiration which they have afforded us, we are not able to Judge of what they endured and of the good that they accomplished In the making of our city and the conquering of the new country. "The passing of Thomas Murray sug gests an Illustration of thst kind. Tom Murray was misunderstood by persons gen erally. You did not know him until you had fully gained his confidence, and that was not an easy task, for he had been Imposed upon so often that he became sus picious of all strangers, and, indeed, all but tried friends; but when once you had gained his confidence no truer friend could be found. I was his attorney during the hard times the times that tried him as never before the times that swept the fortunes of so msny, many men away, and which ultimately, by discouragement and the train of ills that follow In Its wake, ended so many lives. I have known him Intimately since and I found him possessed of many commendable traits. Of all I admired the most his courage and fortitude and bearing after his wealth had been taken from him. Indeed, his mode of living did not have to chunge but It was the same Tom Murray the same horse and wagon the same outward appearance, and from his general bearing you would never have known that misfortune had met him In the way so near the end of the road. A quality well worth emulation. Honest nud Merelfnl. "I found him perfectly honest and more sinned against that sinning. Many a note and account against others he refused to sue and It became outlawed. Rather than worry another he would himself suffer. "Most of his litigation was In defense of claims, often without foundation, yet had to be defended. For instance, some worth less fellow whose services were worth about 2 cents a day would seek a shelter at his house, and Mr. Murray would take him In, with the understanding that he was to work for his board and lodging, or was to be paid In tobacco or the like, and such person would hang around for months or years and then demand perhaps 62 a day as rea sonable value of services while there, Mr. Murray had to admit the time he was there and that now and then he did something, and would then have to assume the burden of proof showing that he was to work for board and lodging or for tobacco; and with Murray rich, and a trial before a Jury and in the court bouse where the lawyer would point out to the Jury through the window Murray's dilapidated buildings Well, Mur ray generally had to pay. "I found him prompt In the payment of every debt which he believed was Just. I never waited an hour for my jjay. And I never heard him say an abusive word about any man, so far as I recall. Ha seemed to be constantly on the defensive. Although a man of good Judgement and quick to act, apparently he relied too much upon too many of his old-time friends who had different Ideas, often causing con fusion, often Inaction, on his part, Hla greatest Monnment. "In the monument of enterprise to the memory of Murray, that pride of his life that ho loved and admired ao intensely, thi Murray hotel, and which, with the hard times, brought him to his knees, was an example. During the World's fair the manager went to Chicago, leaving Murray aa manager. Offers were numerous from competent hotel men over the country to lease It, but he felt that none were good enough for the Murray. He would con sider one man, and It being so important to him, he would start on a tour of bis friends and was always able to find one or more who would advise against the proposition. A unanimous vote he seemed to want. He finally, and at a loss, ran it himself; but nothing waa too good to be found on the tables of the Murray. It being his main revenue-bearing property, did not prevent foreclosure, and a blanket mortgage on all he had was finally asked as the only alter native, and then the shadows began to deepen. And yet with all his love for the hotel he preferred life In the hut in which place his early struggles and hardships and customs had made him roost content. "I will never forget one Incident In which his peculiarity of second-hand purchasing resulted In a good Joke on me. I had Just won for him In a blackmail case, and he waa so happy that he presented me with what I supposed to be a fresh box of cigars. I have never been an expert on cigars a two-fur suits me about as well aa a 25-cent-atralght. I was Just about to be married, and was expecting a would-be brother-in-law, an expert on cigars, from Missouri. I would open a fresh box to htm. He came; but he couldn't say 'Venl, vidi, vlcl," because they were as near weeds as tobacco could be, and a twenty-horse power engine could not get smoke through them I I learned later, and nearly every time I meet my brother-in-law I learn that the cigars were wrspped too tight. Mr. Murray told me later that he supposed they were all right, and I know he did, as he knew tobacco about as well as I did. I now look mainly to the drawing rapacity of the cigar. Ills Worst Side Oat. "Every place may have Its eccentric man, but many of the stories told of Mr. Murray are fiction. He measured to others Just what he promised. Remarkably true to his word he was, and he demanded exactneas on the part of others, and as often did not get If, he demurred, and hence arose what apparently seemed a delinquency en his part. "His worst side was out. Outward ap pearances invited the criticism, so much unjust, that gave a reputation unwar ranted. "In hla' life there are many lessons we can learn with profit to ourselves, and in his death we are reminded that it Is easy to pass unjust Judgment, and that en. conlums and praise rather than criticism ts the living will make the buitlen lighter, the life happier and the way more easy to travel."

Brush with butter a griddle or wire broiler and place the oysters upon It. Broil over a clear, hot fire; and it the oysters should drip, place them far enough from the coals to prevent their becoming smoked. If using the wire broiler. When done a deli cate brown and their gills ruffle, place them on delicate squares of toast, and put very small pieces of butter on each oyster. Oysters Panned a la Mode Cut slices of bread, about a quarter of an inch thick, cut them in rounds to fit the bottom of individual casseroles. Butter them slightly end toast nicely. Put one In eaoh casserole, pour over them enough of the heated and strained liquor of the oysters to moisten slightly, then place six oysters on each piece of toast, dust with a little pepper, place them In a large baking pan, cover tightly, set them In a hot oven, let them cook eight minutes, or until the gills are ruffled. Then lift the cover and put a little salt on them, and let them cook Just a minute longer. Serve In the dishes in which they are cooked, with quarters of lemon. Paris Oyster Fricassee Scald a quart of oysters In their own 'liquor; Just as they come to a boll drain the liquor Into a bowl, keeping the oysters hot, while you make the following sauce: Put In a stew pan two tablespoonfuls of butter, melt, but do not brown, then stir In two tablespoonfuls of sifted flour, and let cook a moment with out browning. Then add a cup of the strained oyster liquor, stir and cook until It bolls, then remove from the fire, add a teaspoon ful of lemon Juice, salt and pep per to taste, and yolks of tiro eggs slightly beaten. Mix well together and place over the fire again for two or three minutes to set the eggs, but do not allow to boll. Next add the oysters, and serve very hot on slices of toast. Btaten Island Oyster Pie Scald a quad of oysters In their own liquor, when It comes to the boiling point skim out the oysters and set where they will keep hot. Add to the liquor two cups of hot water, season to taste with salt and pepper. Rub two ounces of butter to a paste, with two ounces of flour, dilute with a cup of hot milk.-and add to the broth. Stir and cook until smooth and creamy. Have ready a crust of nice light biscuit dough, rolled half an Inch thick, cut Into Inch squares, and drop Into the boiling stew. Cover closely and cook thirty minutes. When done take them up carefully and place In a hot dish. Stir the oysters Into the broth, and when thoroughly hot turn Into the dish with the dumplings. New England Oyster Pie Butter two deep pie plates of uniform sise, and tine with puff paste, or plain rich crusts, and bake in a hot oven until the paste Is well done. Meanwhile prepare the oysters. Drain off the liquor Into a saucepan, place the oysters in a colander, pour Just enough cold water over them to remove any small bits of shell which may cling to them. Then put tha oysters Into a saucepan with barely enough of the liquor to keep them from burning. Season with salt and pepper to taste, add a tableapoonful of butter, and a little sweet cream or milk so they wtlu have a little more than enough liquor to over them. Add one or two crackers rolled fine, let them simmer a few minutes, without boiling,' then turn them Into one of the crusts which should be allowed to remain in the pieplate, then place the other crust on top as a cover. Garnish and serv e. Delmonlco's Oyeter Fritters Take quart of select, plump, good sized oysters, drain oft the Juice, snd strain it through a piece of cheese cloth. To a cup of the Juice add a cup of milk, salt to taste, the well-beaten yolks of two eggs, and enough flour to make a batter as thick aa for griddle rakes. Drop each oyster Into this batter, taking it up with a targe spoonful, and fry In deep, hot fat until a nice brown. Berve very hot with nice crisp celery or cold slaw.
