THE FEELING IN KANSAS.
Mr.. Plumb's Death . Great Shock to His

Mr. Plumbss Death . Great Shock to HE
FrSesas-IsGaus May He His Successor.
TOPEKA. Dec. 2O.-The news OF the death OF
Senator Plumb was o great shock to his friends
In Kansas. No ono knew that he had been all
ing. and the vigorous campaign he made last
fall In the interests OF his party seemed to be
convincing proof that his robust constitution
was In the best Of condition. When the cam.
psign opened the Republican party in Kansas
was in sore straits. The fall before 1t had lost
everything to the Farmers AlliAnce-a seat in
the United States Senate. six out Of seven
seats in the House. all but Governor
and Acknowledgement on the State
ticket, and most Of tho county Offices. Tho
farmers practically controlled tho State when
the last campaign opened. Senator Plumb.
while having no direct personal interest at
stake In the election. went into the campaign
with vigor and enthusiasm characteristic of
whatever he undertook. He stumped the
State from one end to the other. being obliged
TO undergo all tho fatigues Of o country CAM
psign. His work Is generally credited with
having been tho prime cause Of tho over
whelminR defeat Of the Alliance and the Re-
publican victory.
When the Senator left Kansas for Washing
ton he was certainly in the best Of spirits. and
seemed to be In the best OF health. The an
nouncenent OF his death was therefore great
shock. II Is no exaRgerntion 70 say that Mr..
Plumb WINS the most popular man In Kansas

STORY OF AN OLD CRIME.
An Uneasy Conscience Prompts a
Confession.

OOulCSSkOH.
ALPENA, Mich, Aug. Fifteen
years ago Albert Molitor, known as the
king of Presque Isle county, and his
clerk, Edward Sullivan, were mysteri-
ously assassinated in Molitor's office.
At the time of the murder William
Repke, a Well-tO-dO farmer of Rogers
City, was suspected of the crime, but
evidence to convict was lacking and he
was never arrested. Thursday night,
when the story of the shooting had al
most died from the minds of the people.
Repke made a confession of the crime,
duplicating with him fourteen of Rogers
City's best known citizens, among them
August GOSlin, Carl Vogler, August
Forgenfrier, Fred Uno. Ferdinand Bru-
ger, Henry Jacobs, Gottleib Lambert,
Herman Meme, Charles Wessengest,
August Thurman and four others, all
well known in the county.
In his confession he says the only
reason it was made is that ill-luck has
pursued him in the past few years. His
children have been drowned, his barns
and houses burned without cause, his
investments all turned out bad and his
horses died. All this would not have
made him confess, he says, but of late
he has been unable to sleep nights from
thinking of the crime, and he could not
stand the strain any longer. The con-
fession stirs up great sensation. as all
the people implicated will be arrested,
and Repke is in jail.
MOlitOr was thorough business man,
philosophical, and soon pushed his
way the front. Gradually he alb
sorbed all the business III his line, and
jealousy sprang up on all sides. His
enemies banded together after the man
ner of the Malta, and signed written
agreement to bring about his death.
Repke says the killing of Sullivan was
an accident, as the second charge of
buckshot was intended for Molltor,
whom all hated bitterly. Most of the
men involved still live in Presque Isle
county. Two are dead, and two or
three live in Wayne county, Mich.

her charges, which were not denied in

provided with equally expensive sur

band spent all his time in Miss Shaw's
company. Miss Shaw is more youthful
than Mrs Tebbetts, but the latter is a
remarkably handsome woman. Divorce
cases seldom produce two such Singu-

HIGH-PRICED SANDER.
F, w. Sharon Sued by Mrs.
Mitchell.

Mitchell.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Mrs. Sarah
Mitchell has brought suit against Fred
erick w. Sharon for $1,000 for SANDER.
The alleged SANDER consists in certain
words in published interview with Mr..
Sharon, in which hei quoted as saying he
considered Mrs. Mitchell "a black
mailer, pure and simple,' for having
tried to obtain money from the Sharon
estate for the suppression of letters left
by the late Charles l.. Livingstone
which relate to the estate. When
Livingstone, who was formerly man
ager of the Palace hotel and
of the Alta California newspaper,
died, he left to Mrs. Mitchell box
which was said to contain letters from
Frank II. Newlands and Justice
Stephen J. Field. 1t was reported that
Mrs. Mitchell demanded money from
Sharon for the suppression of the let
tiers which were said to contain dam
aging references to the Sharon estate.
Mr.. Sharon, when interviewed. used
the words already quoted. Mrs. Mitch
ell says that she has never made an
offer of the letters to any one, and that
she will show the letters to no one until
the right time comes. She says there is
much in the letters of public interest.

Strange Story OF Noted Grim

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-LOuis Leitzen-
berger, relative of the late Thomas A.
Hendricks, was arrested tonight by Off
GERS who were looking for Tommy Nor
gan, a Chicago burglar. The arrest seems
to have proved the truth of the appa-
rently incredible report that Morgan
and LeitZenberger were one and the
same person. The prisoner was shot
July "A while attempting to escape from
a residence Oh Grand boulevard which
he was in the act of lOOting. The
wound was not dangerous, and Morgan
or LeitZenberger managed after several
days to escape from the county hospital,
to which he had been taken by the DO
lice. 1t was after his flight from the
hospital that the queer rumors of his
identity became current. Adyices from
Indianapolis were to the effect that
LeitzeR6erger was at one time wealthy,
and commanded social influence. The
search here for the mysterious burglar
was kept up till tonight, when the man
with the dual life was caught sight of
Oh State street and promptly arrested.
