Some had a sack of flour, others a ham of meat, others cottee, tea, sugar, brooms, bed spreads, potatoes, cab-— bage, in tact they were ladened with everything imaginable in the house- | keeping and eating line. Of course, the affair had been kept very quiet and the reverend gentleman and wite were taken completely by surprise, but it was a happy one, and one that will long be remembered by the re- ciprents. Kansas City has been .n a feverot excitement ever since last Wednes- day over the murder ot Mrs. Conway and her ten year olddaughter. The murder is considered one of the most mysterious and brutal ones that has ever taken place in our state. The act was committed in her own house with a car coupling pin in broad daylight on one of the most principal thoroughfares in the city. Detectives and police have been hard at work on the case ever since it happened, but so far no progress to- ward terreting out the perpetrator of so foul a crime. The object of mur- der 1s hkewise a mystery, a5 nothing in the house was disturbed. It is wonderful how so foul a crime could a busy place like be committed in Kansas City, in daylight, and the} murderer escape without leaving | ;some clue by which he could be traced. Too much praise cannot be said of the good people ot Summit town- ship for the energy and pluck they have displayed in raising money to complete the Deepwater Union church building in that section. For four years this building has stood without iath or plaster, and the young people without regard to re ligious prochvities, becoming tired of seeing this house built for the worship ot God standing im such a dilapidated condition,took it into their two heads a week or ago to raise money and complete the same. The , t . but the | young people engaged in the enter- E prise were not to be discouraged by i right | cause, a tew drones in the hive, and holding working like hod carriers in the good and ‘to-day the Deepwater Went along festivals Union church stands completed, its interior bearing the testimonials of the work ot saintandsinner. Again we say, all praise to the donors and workers in the good cause. 4entered hi boy; were sitting comforta- |} apples, | and. 4 QUEER THEF Ben B.

Ot course upon such occasions al- most everybody has his suspicions as | to how the thing was dore and who done it, whether he makes them known or not, and among this num- ber was Mr. Canterbury who made nis suspicions known by swearing out arrest of W.

Mr. Powell was completely nonplussed | at the proceedings as he was taken unawares, and was somewhat indig- | nant at Mr. Canterbury for suspect- ing him of having anything to do with the stealing ot his books or anv knowledge of their whereabouts. But | then it was useless to kick, as a states warrant is no respector of persons, ; and he quietly submitted to the man- dates ot the law and went before an officer and gave bond with S. M. Jarvis as security, and Tuesday morning returned to Butler in com- pany with his bondsman. As soon as the ’bus stopped at the Palace hotel a reporter tor the Times ac- costed Mr. Powell to hear what he had to say, and he informed us that he innocent of the charge and would come out all night. Mr. Powell has conducted himselt during his Was as a pertect gentleman | stay among us and Mr, Jarvis informs ns that his firm has the utmost con- fidence in his honesty.

The clue that lead to the finding was turnished by John Brown, a negro boy working at the Palace hotel. While under arrest as accessory Monday, he stat- ed that he had carried a shovel to the office at the solicitation of Pow- ell, and this remark of the negro jleaa to a search which resulted as above noted From what we could ‘learn the negro took entirely too | much interest in the books for his books | own good. | There is a dark mystery at | Lottom ot the whole matter which | we hope wil! be unraveled and the i guilty parties, who ever they may be, | brought to justice.
