KANSAS WOMEN.
Items of Interest Concerning Them.
Mrs. Mary Croll was declared insane
at Wichita, recently.
Miss Alice NJ. Junken. who has held
the Office of register of deeds in Dickin
son county several years, is q candidate
before the republican county convention
for nomination for reelection.
There are O,256 white females in Ly-
on county, against II $50 males, and 57z
colored females against COZ males. The
population in that county is pretty evenly
divided as to sex.
Mrs. Robert Klein was found dead in
bed at her husbands home near Hol-
ton, jackson county, the other day. She
had complained of feeling unwell few
hours previous. Heart disease was the
cause of her death.
Hiawatha World: A Sabetha girl was
struck by lightning while dressing for
her wedding. Without turning around
or taking the hair pins out OF
her mouth, she simply remarked: "You
girls had better stop finging your old
shoes till we get started"
| Fl. Scott Herall: A celored woman
named Addie Bean was brought to. Jail
the other day from Mapleton by Coneta-
BILE A. G. Tippie. She was arrested for
excessive cruelty in beating child, and
was bound over in $500 for trial on the
22d, and in default was brought tojail.
Lawrence Herald: Miss Rndolph, the
newly appointed Latin assistant at the
University, is graduate of Hiram COL
lege, Gen. Garfeld's old college, and was
| educated under the we'll known Presi-
dent Hinsdale. She is a fine classical
scholar, and a young lady of great intel
lectual attainments. For the past two
years she has been teaching in an acade-
my at Cleveland, and is we'll fitted .for
her position. She will be a full assistant
in Latin.
Dodge City Globe: A poor woman,
whose husband died in Colorado, and
who. is making her way back to Missouri
with two little children, over land with
team of burrows, was in the city last
| week. She was out of funds and stated
her condition to Judge Cook, who step
ped out on the street and in less than a
half hour returned with sixteen dollars
and seventy five cents, subscribed by the
always liberal people of Dodge City,
which the Judge gave to the woman end
she went on her way rejoicing. 1t will
be hard to make that woman believe
Dodge City is a bad town.
Wichita Eagle: A singularly distress
ing case of female depravity and the eff
fects of dissipation and probably beer
and morphine was witnessed recently at
the Union depot. A we'll known young
woman of the town arrived at the Union
depot on the street car. Alighting from
the car she went into the depot waiting
room and in few minutes fell upon the
floor apparently dead. The employees
telephoned to the city for a physician
and a policeman. A doctor repaired to
the scene and administered some medi.
cine and left. She was removed to the
poor house. Her real name is unknown
to the reporter and the name she is gen.
orally known by is hardly the proper
one to appear in print. The doctors have
but little hope of her recovery.
Junction City Union: Our attention
has been called to the following adver.
tisement in the Kansas City Journal. We
cheerfully contribute the extent of oul
circulation to the relief of the widow:
| Wanted-I am q widow and feel the
need of husbands loves and home. Will
some good honest wife, correspond with
me? Address,
| Mrs. L. A. DAYTON,
Junction City, Kansas.
We understand the boys in the court
house answered the widow, representing
a niddle-aged man worth about SIS, 600
with some other virtues, and requested
the widow to pass Rockwell's corner a
four o'clock, and to wear white hand
kerchief about her neck. The hoodlums
gathered, of course, and the boys saw the
widow.
Miss Loretta CavanGer, of Topeka
claims that during the latter par o.
March or the first of April, 1885, Chas-
teen Hughes communicated to her con
fession to the murder of I. M. Smith, al
Kansas City, Mo-, in January, 1881. Il
will be remembered that Smith wa
found in an insensible condition and il
was supposed that be had been thrown
over the bluff wall and murdered OF
that he had canmitted suicide. Hughes
the Cavander woman claims, did not i'm
plicate himself in this murder bat mere
ly acknowledged himself to be an &C
cessory after the facts. The story of the
confession as told by Miss Cavander il
not generally accredited to be truthful
Hughes now lies in the Shawnee coun
ty Jail on charge of bieamy. Miss Cav
ander was his third wife from none o
whom he had obtained q divorce. Sh.
ia now prosecuting witness in the big
amy case. Hughes denies the Who'll,
statement about the confession and say
that he can prove an alabi.
