SUICIDE BY POISON.
THE DECoMPosED BODY of OSCAR DAVIS
FoUNND NEAR TEE ALBANY BRIDGE.

Monday morning Mr.. I. A. Davis, who
resides near Sanderson's bridge, went to
Albany in search OF his son, also a resident
of that locality. He said that his son Oscar
Davis, left home about two weeks ago, with
the Intention of going to Portland, having
in his possession several hundred dollars.
The father learned that the missing man
had been seen in Albany on Wednesday of
last week, but no further trace of him
could be found, and he returned home.
In the afternoon the decomposed remains
of a man were found across the river about
quarter of a mile above the bridge, near the
bushes, about 60 feet from the road. Mar
shall Hoffman, Of Albany, and several others
went over. The body had lain so long in
the hot sun that it was a sickening sight,
and almost unapproachable. An envelope
was found beside the body upon which was
7 written the following:
"My dear loving wife.-Piease forgive
me. Oh, you are the one that love, but 1
l love one as well as the other. 1 don't
need to tell you what has caused me to do
this. My friends aud you can guess the
rest. 1 have got the consumption and
could not live longer"
There was no signature to the letter, but
it seems to leave no doubt that it was a
case of suicide. The deceased was addicted
to gambling, and it is said lost considerable
money in Albany last week. The deceased
told some of his acquaintauces there that
the sum he lost was about S400. He then
went away and had not been seen since.
The deceased leaves wife and three
children, two of them being hers by a for
mer marriage. The authorities at this city
were notified and the coroner summoned
jury and went to the scene. The remains
were taken in charge and the coroner's jury
returned verdict of suicide by taking
strychnine.
half ounce vial of strychnine was found
underneath the body. The evidence adduc-
ed at the coroner's inquest showed that it
had been purchased at j. A. Cummings
drug store in Albany.

COLLEGE MATTERs.-Ehe sessions at the
state agricultural college began Wednesday.
This week will be occupied in classifying
the students and assigning them to their
various classes. Already over 100 students
have registered, of which about Is are new
ones, besides which there are about 80 who
have not yet matriculated. 1t is but con-
servative estimate to say that the attend
ance this year will be almost double the at
tendance of last year. Sixty places have
been taken in the boys dormitory and tif-
teen in the ladies' hall, making about IS
from abroad. Prof Horner has just re-
turned from trip in the southern portion
of the state and one of the results of his la
bors can be seen in the large attendance
from the scene of his work. Douglas county
has the largest representation of any except
Benton, there having been twelve arrivals
from there and ten more are expected i'll a
short time. Under Prof. Bloss' efficient
management the college begins this year
with the most fattering prospects, and he
is ably seconded by his corps of assistants
who have been laboring in the interests of
the institution in all parts of the state, with
the most satisfactory results.

To manufacturers like the Royal Baking

large debt of gratitude for the increased

Boys With a Thirst For wild Life should
Read the Following.


TOPEKA, Kan, Oct 13.-The state
for pardon which brought to light the
interesting history of the arrest, con-
viction and imprisonment of two wild
but innocent boys of good family.
Frank Kepplinger and George Smith
two years ago ran away from their
home in Virginia, Ill, and came to
Kansas AT that time they were 16
years old Kepplinger's father is a
wealthy stakeholder and his uncle is
president of the Illinois State college.
Smiths father is one of Kepplinger's
farmer tenants. The boys finally came to
Galena, in Cherokee county, where they
obtained work in the mines. To avoid
being found by their parents they as
sumed the names of S. II. Brown and
Sam Frye. Three weeks after their ar
rival they were placed under arrest
charged with breaking open an ore
house and stealing ore. They We're con-
victed on purely circumstantial evil
dence and sentenced to five years each
in the penitentiary.
Five men We're arrested at Galena
last spring for stealing ore and all were
sent to the penitentiary. The man who
made business of buying stolen ore
confessed that he had shielded the gang
and the crime for which the boys were
convicted was committed by one Frank
Hagan, who is now serving time at
Lansing.
Kepplinger's father used every means
at his command to find his son, but the
boy was as much lost 10 his parents as
though he had been swallowed up by
the earth His photograph was sent
all over the country ond liberal re-
wards were offered for his discov-
cry. Two weeks ago a lady in Kansas
City who had been a school mate of
young Kepplinger's mother received
letter signed as. II. Brown, box .,
Lansing. Kan" asking for the address
of Mary A. Kepplinger and whether
she was still living. The letter was
forwarded to Virginia, Ill, and the
handwriting was recognized by Mrs.
Kepplinger as that of her missing
son. She came to Kansas at once
and has been with her boy 1T the pen
itentiary ever since Her husband and
an attorney have been busy gathering
evidence to present to the board of par
dons, and in this wish have had the CO.
operation of the officials of Cherokee
county, including the county attorney.
The pardon will probably be granted.
While in the penitentiary Kepplinger
has learned the trade of a tailor and
Smith that of q marble cutter.

The Strip Free of Cattle.

CHICAGO. Oct 13.-Zack Mulhall, of
Mulhan, l. T, connected with the
stock department of the Santa Fe road,
says: The Cherokee strip is now free
of cattle from one end to the other, for
the first time since white men visited
that country. and IL will probably re-
main so Boomers have burned all the
grass, so there would be no show there
for cattle this winter, even should any
attempt to return. According to what
has been said, the government wants
TO throw it open for settlement next
spring. but that won't affect cattlemen.
They don't want any more Cherokee
strip, especially when there is only
about half of it worth anything, and
that will be crowded by settlers

known that ex- Secfetary OF State Blaine
is guest of SIr. Reid, and his visit at
this time has set all the politicians
guessing as to it's meaning and possi-
Bile results Mr.. Blaine looked rested
and in excellent physical condition. He
came from New York Yesterday after
noon, having arrived straight from Bar
Harbor at $3.50 o'clock.
1t is expected that it will be definite
" settled whether Mr.. Blaine will
make speeches during the campaign,
and if any how many and at what
places. Chairman Carter is quoted as
saying that with the aid of Mr.. Manly
he expects to induce the eX-secretary to
make at least one speech which can be
sent out as campaign document.
A reporter was received by Mr. Blaine
during the day. His health being the
first topic touched, Mr.. Blaine said: 81
have just recovered from the effects of
my long railroad ride, but as 1 have
been i'll all summer, l cannot but re-
gard with pleasure the ease with which
have travelled over 500 miles"
His voice, as he spoke, was strong
and steady, and his smile indicative of
profound satisfaction.
Turning to the subject of politics, he
said: my friends know that l am no
longer public man in any sense of the
word, and any utterance from me would
seem uncalled for. There is no reason
why 1 should tell republicans to do
their duty, nor to describe that duty
for them, for they know it as well as 1
and they will do it

shotgun fired it point blank at a dis
tance OF only twenty yards. Higgins
fell with his stomach, side and arm
filed with shot. Craycraft received a
part of the load in his right arm and
side, but was not badly injured.
Bassett prepared TO fire a second shot,
but Higgins fell in the middle of the
street. Bassett then coolly put his gun
away and began reading the evening
paper. He says he warned the students
not to go across the ground several days
ago, and concluded to shoot the first
man that did so. He was arrested soon
after the shooting and Is now in Jail.
