is SAID to be the wealthlest man in Calhoun
county. He has nephew in this city, Isaac
Fovel, who lives at 4119 Pleasant street. In
the family on Pleasant street has lived for
two years a convent bred girl named Mamie
Isdell, % years of age. Old MIR. Fovel,
from the wilds of Calhoun. occasionally WIS.,
tied his nephew, and as he was widower
with grandchildren old enough to vote he
prompy fell IN love with Miss Isdall. The
girl, it Is claimed, would not accept him
unless 500, 900 we're placed in her name,
and at the Office of the recorder of licences
the old gentleman acknowledged that his
bride had cost him big sum. isaac Fovel,
from whose home the December and May
couple went forth to bridal happiness, was
found at his home. On learning the report

broadly as comprehending any professional
changes.
The second question was referred to a
committee Of forty to report to special
meeting of the Presbytery on December Sd.
The sentiment of the Presbytery was not
only overwhelmingly in favor of revision,
but several of the members spoke fervently
in denunciation of the old confession of
faith. An expression used by many of
the speakers was that 1.-The Presbyterian
church was in need of doctrinal statement
which can be used and which can be under

The doctrine of irrevocable predestina-
ton and infant damnation were repudiated.
Many of the speakers declared that the
church needs new creed, quiet, compre-

lieve. The Rev. Drs. Henry M. FIELD, Phil
lip Schaff, Howard Crosby, John L. Paxton.

Axtell's Record Broken.

SAN Francisco, CAL, November 1.-THE
lovers of the turf were given an exhibition
at the Bay District track such as never be-
fore has been seen on the Pacific coast.
The great event OF the day was the perform
ance of senator Stanford's fllv Sunol, who
made the remarkable time of 2:lO4, thus
lowering the 3-year-old record of 2:12 re-
Gently made by Axtell.
The start was made with the runner about
furlong behind. Sunol reached the quar-
ter IN 20 seconds; she went to the half in
LOS, and it then seemed certain that, bar
ring a break, she would succeed in lowering
the record. Her time to the third quarter
was 1:51M. The runner pressed her closely
Gown the stretch, and Marvin, her driver,
applied the whip, but the colt did not make
the slightest skip and passed under the wire
In 2:1O =.
When the time was announced there was
wild cheering for several minutes.
Won Wilkes yearling stallion record of
2:3s was also lowered by Count Valeusius
Faustino, who trotted mile in 2:35.
The third record lowered at the Bay Dis

The Anarchists Celebration,

The Anarchists Celebration.
CHICAGO, November 13.-The anarchist
celebration Sunday was very tame-in fact
the only noteworthy incident was furnished
by Mrs. Lucy Parsons, who, in defiance of
the police prohibition of red flags, hung one
from the window of her residence on Mil
waukee avenue early in the day, and when
q policeman was sent to her house to notify
her to take it down, said: ''This is a free
country. Why can't wave the flag of my
doctrine"
because my orders are to put it down"
talk he tore down the flag and took it to the
station. Mrs. Parsons fumed for awhile
and then left for Waldheim.
The day was dreary and cold, and lack of
enthusiasm was the most noticeable feature
of the celebration at Waldheim cemetery
From a crowd of 5000 last year the attend
ance had dwindled to less than 1000. and
not a few were merely curious spectators.
The foral decorations at the graves of the
executed men were profuse and beautiful.
but the only inscription among the various
offerings which had any OF the o d-t:me an

society. reading Murdered, but Still Alive"
During the exercises Miss Spies, Mrs.
Schwab and Mrs. Fischer stood by the
graves, while Mrs. Parsons, sitting on the
damp ground by her husbands grave with
her little boy by her side, buried her face in
her handkerchief and abandoned herself to
tears.
After musical selections by the band and
a singing society, G. c. Clemens. of Topeka,
Kansas, stepped upon . table which had
bee covered with red cloth and announced
himself to be an American anarchist. Al

A Killing at Fredonia.

FREDoAIA, KAN. November a-Frank
Vanmeter was shot and killed by George R.
Biackwood. constable of Clifton township.
The constable had arrested Leo Vanmeter,
Franks brother, for being drunk and -four
lshlng q revolver. He took the weapon
from him. While the officer was conveying
his prisoner before q magistrate, Frank
vanmeter interrupted him and demanded
the revolver, at the same tune clutching ct
the constable's throat. The latter warned
him to deslst or he would shoot. Frank re-
taine1 bus grip in q menacing manner and
the officer fired, shooting Vanmeter through
the neck and killing hum. Other brothers
armed themselves and swore vengeance on
the constable and he fed to this city and
gave himself up to Sheriff Manner. Many
doubt whether Blackwood was sufficiently
provoked to justify his deed. Frank Van
meter is the young man who blew up the
Friends church at Buffalo with dynamite
three years ago. He was sentenced to the
county Jail for that at the time, and had
been released but three weeks.

KANSAS CHURCHES,

Cherokee Sentinel: Sam Jones will
be at Baxter Springs to dedicate the
new Methodist church in December.
Winchester Herald: Revival servic-
es in the Methodist church will COM
mence the last of this week. Rev. VIM.
Maggs, of Baldwin, will assist the pas
tor, Rev. Thomas, in the meetings af-
ter Sunday.
Peabody Gazette: Revival meetings
were commenced this week at the Meth
odist church, and the large church men,
bership with their pastor are laboring
zealously in the good work. Rev. G.
s. Nusbaum, of Goddard, is expected
up next week to assist in the meetings,
and We feel safe in saying that many
of our people will want to hear him.
Atwood Citizen: An effort is being
made to secure the services of Rev. j. J.
A. T. Dixon as pastor of the Congrega-
tional church of this city. We hope it
will prove successful. Mr.. Dixon is an
able minister and one who can and will
do much to build up church enterprises
in our town. His extensive acquaint-
ance in the state would also be to our
advantage in temporal sense.
Marion Record: Messrs. Mails and
Kingman, two of the young men who
are soon going from Kansas as pioneer
missionaries to the Soudan, talked to a
good impromptu audience in the Pres
byterian church, Wednesday evening.
They are making canvass of the state
simply to arouse interest in missionary
matters, especially African missions,
and are doing it. For some reasons
unknown, our Helmick failed to arrive.
The First Congregational church of
Topeka had the pleasure of visit from
its first pastor, Rev. Lewis Bodwell,
who had charge thirty years ago. In
answer to call Mr. Bodwell made
speech, in which he said that when he
came here in 1856 the church, though
already organized, had but nine mem
bers, of whom one was on sick bed
and two more were in prison in Lecomp-
ton. Services were held IN those days
in the upper story of Constitution hall,
Third and Kansas avenue, from which
General Sumner drove out the free
state legislature, on July 4, 1856. Mr..
Bodwell showed picture of this build
ing, and also the bill of the steamer
Otis Webb for 19a M. shingles for
the church building first set up on the
site of the present church. Both of
these, framed, Mr.. Bodwell presented
to the church, to be kept by itself or
turned oyer to the Historical society
at will. The church was organized
year before Mr.. Bodwell came, in Mr..
Cowles' cabin, near Fourth and Harri-
son, Deacon H. w. Farnsworth being
the only man left of those then present

To Consider the Strip.

TAHLEouAH, l. T., November 1.-THE
Cherokee national council is now ready to
consider the strip matter. There is some
talk of submitting the matter to the people
to vote on at a special election. Mayes is
said to be in favor of this plan as q measure
for delay. w. A. Phillips, of Kansas, is
here. He has been the Cherokees' attorney
for years, and Is probably here to look after
strip matters, if not after the cattle mems
interests. Caucuses are being held nightly
by the different factions, and Phillips has
been In secret conference with prominent,
Cherokees. The commissioners are still
confident. Several days since they received
communication from Secretary Noble, in
which were instructions as follows: 81 would
advise you to guard against making any
agreements which would tend to make the
impression among the Cherokees that the

in the world but what they will adopt tho

For PaYna'S Place.

COLUMBUS, O., November 9.-Democratic
candidates for the United States senate are
jumping up from all the back districts. If
the correspondent may be allowed to guess
the name of Ohio's next United States SEN
ator, he would say John R. Mclean.
Colonel Brice could get it if he wanted
the election, but time and again he has said
he did not want to be senator.
John H. Thomas, of Springfield. the mil
lion aire manufacturer, is making an active
fight for the election, but whether he will
succeed or not is an open question. Thomas
asks the great Office because he is a tariff
reformer.
When Judge Thurman was asked who
would probably be Payne's successor, he
replied: "Oh, there wi l be dozen men
after it. There ls Judge Owen, Powell,
Orthwaite and Converse, of Columbus;
Judge Foilett, of CINCINNATI; Brce of Lima;

any of whom would be good successor"

L. Thomas, the governor of Utah territory,
in his annual report to the secretary of the
interior, estimates the population of the
territory at 10000, which is an increase of
5000 since 1880. During the last nine years
the foreign born population, numbering in
1880 about 6O,841, has been increased by
Mormon immigration by 1904.
Upon the sub ect of the unoccupled pub
lie lands of the territory, the governor says
that the question of what the government
should do with the vast tracts of land, which
can be used only for grazing purposes, is
assuming vital importance throughout the
west, and is directly associated with the
problem of cheap food supply. Under

"You are in Chicago; tho Cronin murder

In conclusion Miss Willard paid an elo-
auent tribute to the memery of Mrs. Hayes,
the wife of the ex-president.
Ire majority OF the convention IS strongly
in favor of alliance with the third party,
yet cannot conceal their anxiety as to the
attitude of the minority, who believe in
non partisan action. If the Iowa union
withdraws the breach viii be lrreparable.
Last year the national officers claimed TO-
600 local unions with membership of 2O,-
600. To-day the annual report showed 1000
local unions with a membership of 142, 463.
Among the number which have Withdrawn
are such unions as Minneapolis, Cleveland
and Chester county, Pennsylvania, but the
latter comprising sixty unions. Such start

organization, and this evident disaffection
has made strong impression.
