BIDDIES DIE IN JAIL
(Continued from First Page.(
f'fils matter, my own darling, but I would
ztther you go tomorrow. Just as I have
erected.
Watch the papers close and If you see
hey hava traced us any part of the way,
'eave Toronto on the quiet and go to Mon
treal. Ienve letter In the Toronto offlco
for me and as soon an you get settled in
Montreal wrlto me a letter to the postnfflco
there, all In stgns. where you nre. Mon
treal Is about 250 miles further north.
Keep low until I reach you.
Diddle then accuses her of accompany
ing another man to the theater and other
places and tella her that this conduct Is
breaking bis heart, but adds, "Just the
same, I am yours, yours only."
Repeats Ills Instructions.
The wrltor takes occasion to reiterate
his Instructions, becauso she seemed not
to fully understand. He says:
It doesn't do to have too much red tape
about It. You must think for yourself. Jt
will be easy tor you to ko to Buffalo, then
to Niagara, which Is twenty-four miles
from Buffalo. From there take a bus and
cross over tho suspension bridge Into
Canada. You will meet custom house offi
cers when you reach the Canadian side.
Qo to a bank, gat your American money
changed to Canadian money, then ask
some boy or woman where th Qrand
Trunk railway station Is. Get a ticket for
Toronto.
The rsason I have you take so much
caution Is that thay will try to trace you
to find me. They will say right away as
soon an they come to a realization that you
and I are together, "Find her and you will
get the Blddle boys."
So I want you to smooth every track you
make. Don't lot them trace you from
Pittsburg at all. Change your appearance
so that no one will know you If they nre
shown your photograph. Do you under
stand, pet, It they can't trace you to Buf
falo you are lost to them forever. I may
be wlthyou In three or four days. Can't
tell. Tho reason I said a week or two is
that I am not sure, love, and you would
be worrying yourself to death, thinking
that I was lost. I will come to you as
quick as I can.
Instructs Her In Use of Poison.
Hide your morphine In the lining of your
dress somswhere, so if you are searched
no one could find It, and In case the worst
comes to worst wait until you are alone,
because If any one knew you took It the
doctors would pump It out with a stomach
pump.
Now, pet, If you go Monday let me know
as early as you can. Come close to the
window and nay. "I will ko." for I enn't
half see you if It Is very light outside. If
you go tomorrow I will escape then to
morrow night or Monday night. And now,
dear, be sura and don't keep me any
longer, pet. If you decldo to stay at homo
tell me. Then you will give me permission
to so. Everything has been ready since
Friday. Now, dear, I nm going to go Mon
day night, Just as sure us tho sun shines
In th heavens abovo. Tuesday mornlnir I
shall be a free man or n dead one. Bear
that In mind. I think that friend of yours
lias made you like him of late. If that Is
the case Just hang on to htm and let ni
go peacefully. And now, should you take
It Into your head to do mo wrong, thinking
that I would not know you would make n
sad mistake.
Doubts Woman's Wisdom.
If you were to let me go ahead without
it and then get me caught I would kill
every keeper In the place and Dornian
with them and then myself next. I'll tell
you, I'm not to be betrayed. I don't say,
my dear, that you would try to do me
wrong, but you are a woman, and so as
changeable ns one, and so 1 thought I
would remind you, knowing that u woman
don't look very deep Into things. I.ot a
woman know you love her and the Jig Is
up. Yours. KD.

Then tho more common embroideries

OlUuers Covet the Bodies.
In spite of the amicable agreement con
cerning tho disposition of the prisoners en
tered In today by the district attorneys of
Butler and Allegheny counties, the quarrel
broke out afresh tonight. When Detectives
Roach and Swlnehart of Pittsburg, who
hn,i hn annnlntivt hv niiitrlct Attorney
Haymaker to represent Allegheny county,
heard of the approaching death or jbck
Blddle, they hastened to tho Jail, but were
refused admission by Sheriff Hoon. Tho
latter said the two men were dying and
no person should be admitted. The Pitts
burg officers claimed their right under the
aircemont. but the sheriff was obdurato
and Roach and Swlnehart wero forced to
retlro and telegraph homo for Instructions.
District Attorney Haymaker's reply was
to the effect that tho trouble was a tempest
In a teapot and the result of a misunder
standing by the minor jail officials. Hs
thinks that the trouble will vanish when
tho objecting officers learn that the $5,000
reward offored by Allegheny county was
for tho delivery of the bodies, dead or
alive, Into the possession of the county
commissioners. Should the Butler county
officials succeed In retaining possession of
tho prisoners they could not sharo In thn
reward becauso the conditions have not
been fulfilled.
ERRING BINGHAM GIVES UP
Kan ana CMy Aristocrat Confesses
Forajery nnd Surrenders
to Police.
KANSAS CITY, Fob. 1, Rollln Bingham,
n raoraber of one of- the first families of
Missouri, has surrendered to the police at
Dallas, Tex., and asked to be returned
here to stand trial on the chargo of forg
ing docds to property In Kansas City twelvo
years ago.
UlDgham has been a fugitive from Justice
since November, 1800. His whereabouts
was made known to County Prosecutor
Hadley, to whom ho sent n letter offering
to surrender. Bingham, according to his
letter, Is penniless and 111. Officers will
leave for Texas tonight to bring him here,
Rollln Bingham before ho lied from Kan
sas City was prominent In politics and was
a leader In society. Ho Is the son of Gen
eral O. C. Bingham, artist, writer, poli
tician and one of the bost known men In
Missouri. Bingham forged the namo of his
stepmother securing $20,000. He hud, It Is
supposed, spent bis money recklessly In
speculation and In other ways.
Bingham In tho course of his letter ad
mltH tho forgeries nnd makes the unusual
statement that he committed thorn to save
his stepmother's property. He says:
"She v.t.b defendant In a suit that, as a
lawyer, I know must, If followed up, go
against her and make her poor, I nevor
had much myself really, but was so anxious
to save her that I thought probably by
some coup I could make a great deal of
money so that a Judgment against her
would not cripple her."
General Bingham wai three times mar
ried. His second wife, Itollln's stepmother,
died In 18!0. This Mrs. Bingham had al
ways treated Rollln as If ho were her
own son, despite the fact that sho was well
aware of his dissipations nnd had tried
vainly to turn him from them. About
a month beforo her death Mrs. Bingham
told her attorney that she had discovered
that certain property held by her In trust
had been Incumbered by a forged deed of
trust, An Investigation that followed dis
closed other forgeries that made a total
loss of $20,000 and Bingham was indicted.

About lliinncom Pnrk.
Caroline King, school teacher, aged 23
years, will probably lose portions of both
her feet from freezing, as a result of an
unsuccessful attempt to take her own life.
Tho young woman's homo Is with her sister,
Mrs. William B. Gaston, 1601 North Twenty-seventh
street. She Is now nt St. Jo
seph's hospital.
Miss King left the homo of her sister
Friday morning, informing no one of her
Intentions, nor whoro she was going. Ac
cording to tho story sha told the police
last night, sho loft homu with tho intention
of killing herself. She walked to Dundee
and later In tho day returned to town and
spent tho afternoon at the public library
and In tho stores. Early In tho evening
she went to a drug store in tho ncighbor
'hood of Hanacom park and bought somo
laudanum. Tho clork, sho said, hesitated
about selling It to hor, but after much
questioning, nnd after she had Insisted that
sho wanted tho drug for toothache, ho sold
It to her. The woman then went Into tho
park and took tho contents of the bottle.
The poUon, sho said, hod no doubt, been
woakenod, for It only made her drowsy.
Sho wandered around the park until she
becamo exhausted and then went to sleep.
Sho spent tbo entlro night In the park.
Saturday she wandered nrouud aimlessly,
sufforlng from the cold and hunger until
lato In tho evening, when she went to the
home of a family named McLnncy, be
tween Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth on
Martha street. The family recognized her
nnd did all they could to relievo her suf
ferings. Tho clothing on thn woman was frozen
to her body and her shoos wero stiff. The
pollco wero notlfled and the wonyui was
tnkeu to tho pollen station In the nmbu
laucc, Sho was attended by Police Surgeon
Borglum and later removed to St. Joseph's
hospital. Hor feet were frozen so that
It Is probable amputation will bo neces
sary. Miss King said that she was a school
teacher, formerly of Iowa, and that some
time ago sha enmo to Omaha to mako her
home with her sister. Sho had applied for
a position In the schools nud being unsuc
cessful had tried to securo a position nt
anything. 8hc had repeatedly failed, nnd
havlug no money, had decided to end her
worry.
W. E. Gaston, brother-in-law of the wom
an, was notified nnd went to see her nt the
station. Ho knew of no reason why tho
woman should take her life, ns her home
life had nlwoys been pleasant.

KATING IN HAVANA.
Ynnkeen Club To wet hor.
In Havana It Is the custom to serve only
bread and coffee for breakfast. A little
colony of Amoricans that felt they could
not do their work until noon on this kind
of a diet clubbed together and began Im
porting Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food.
One of them writing about the matter,
says, "The modern cooking rango had
never boon known In Cuba until tho Ameri
can occupation, and even now they are
scarce, so that a ready cooked food like)
Grape-Nuts recommends lteelf to start
with; then tho Yankees were accustomed
to the food and felt they could hardly get
along without It. They began buying In
flvo case lots and one by one the larger gro
cery storta began keeping Grapo-Nut lln
stock so tho business spread until now
great quantities of Grape-Nuts are used In
Cuba, and It is not only used by tno Amer
leans but tho other Inhabitant as well."
This Is an Illustration of the way the
famous food has pushed Itself Into all
parts of the world. Wherever Ilnyl'sh
speaking people go they demand Orapo
Nuts. They can be found In South Africa
Egypt, India, China, Japan, Australia and
South America.
Many Americans spenk of the tiomo-llke
feeling It gives them to see the numberless
busses In the sttccts of London decorated
with grent blue signs with the word
"Qrapo-Nuts." donn In yellow letters, and
all over Eengbnd tho great purveying
shops distribute Orape-.Nuts,
Eugllsh roast beef has largely given way
to American roast beef, and the old
fashioned English breakfast of bacon and
nototoes Is now supplemented with urapo
.Nuts and croara. Tho change was mado for
a reason. It has been discovered that al
most magical power rests within tho llttlo
Kranules and this power is e-, tree in
the body that makes use of the famous

Indlnna,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. (Spoclal Tele
gram.) The event of chief Importance to
day to far as tho west was concerned was
the Induction of ex-Governor Leslie M.
Shaw of Iowa Into tho olflco of tho secre
tary of treasury and tho retirement of
Lyman Gage. Ex-Governor Shaw, who la
delightfully democratic In his manner,
warmly greeted tho host of Iowa friends
present at tho ceremonies of tho Inaugura
tion and wont from ouo to another with
an easy familiarity.
Promptly nt the hour set, 10:30 a, m.,
Justlco Shlras of tho supremo court, n
brother of Judge Oliver P. Shlras of
Dubuque, entered from Secretary Gage's
private ofllce, accompanied by Secretary
Gage and Senator Dolltvcr. In the simplest
fashion the oath was administered to cx
Governor Shaw. Justice Shlras was the
first to congrntulato tho new secretary.
Then ex-Sccrctary Gago gavo the hand of
tho Iowa man a hearty shako and said: "I
wish you every success, and hopo your
administration will be brilliant."
To this tho new secretary responded;
"If I can measure up to anything liko my
predecessor, I shall tool that my work has
not been without somo mcasuro of com
pensation."
After the felicitations, tho new and old
secretaries held a reception, meeting and
shaking every employe by the hand, and
tho ono receiving congratulations at his
coming, tho other regrets at his going.
lovrn Well lleiircaented.
With but threo exceptions tho entire
congressional delegation from Iowa was
present for the ceremony. Senator Alllsou
was away by reason of an Important com
lnlttco meeting. In addition to the dele
gation thcro were present: George E. Rob
erts, director of the mint; K. P. Seeds,
deputy auditor of the War department;
Judge Fuller, assistant attorney general of
the Spanish claims commission; II. W.
Hoyer, editor from Oelweln; F. J. Still-
man, disbursing officer of tho house of
representatives; J. B. Brewster of Oska
loosa, M. D. O'Connell, solicitor for the
treasury; David Fallows of Waucoraa, J.
A. Kasson and V. W. Alnsworth, secretary
of tho Iowa Board of Railway commis
sioners. At noon Secretary Gage turned over the
ofllce to his successor, who began business
lke an old hand. It Is freely predicted
that Governor Shaw will mako one of tho
best secretaries the treasury has ever had,
and he starts in under exceptionally favor
able circumstances.
Secretary Gago remained In conference
with his successor an hour or more, and
then left tho department. Ho will go to
New York tomorrow or Monday to remain a
few days, and In the course of two or three
days will go to Florida for a rest of two
or thrco months. From that time his
movements havo not been definitely de
cided upon, but it is altogether probable
that he will return to Chicago and accept
the presidency of a largo trust company in
that city.
Council lllnffa rostoRlce.
Walter I. Smith of the Council Bluffs
district In congress, expects to leave for
horde tomorrow, being called there by an
Important raining case. Speaking of his
effort to get an appropriation of $10,000
to purcnase additional land adjacent to
tho present postofflce In Council Bluffs, ho
said he did not know whether It would bo
necessary to go beforo the public building
and grounds committee. He hoped to get
tho modest amount asked for on tho gen
eral appropriation bills, and wan planning
to that end.
Senator Millard today recommondod Dr.
O, H. Crane of Alnsworth for a position
on the pension board at that place.
J. A. Munroo of tho Union Pacific left for
Chicago today, having flnlshyd the work
which called him to Washington.
Cnnalns' Crnsnde Asrnlnst Epidemic
Representative Cousins of Iowa has In
duced the senate committee on appropria
tions to retain In the urgency deficiency
bill an appropriation for $70,000 to pre
vent the spread of smallpox. The com
mittee, however, has, In view of certain le
gal decisions In Iowa growing out of the
conditions on the Sac and Fox reservation,
attached a clause to the appropriation bill
giving the authorities the right to quaran
tine against tho spread of the disease, and
If necessary to destroy tho clothing and
tepees of the Indians to stamp It out.
Should this clauso bVcome a law It In likely
It will be of considerable aid to tho au
thorities In tho counties surrounding tho
Omaha and Winnebago reservation, as It
was asserted during the recent smallpox
scare that the officials had no authority
to destroy clothing nor to quarantine the
Indians.
Tho Ninth Infantry, which was originally
ordered to proceed to the Dakntus on Its
arrival In this country from tho Philip
pines, will be sent to the Department of
tho East at tho earnest solicitation of In
fluential members of tho New York delega
tion. D. H. McycrhofT, mayor of Corning, la,,
who has been visiting friends In the east,
