Mrs c. S. Richardson, widow OF 1. d.
Richardson, formerly connected Win the
land Office in this city, passed through
Wichita last night on her way to her old
home in kentucky. accompanying tne re-
mains of her beloved son Kenneth, VINO
died Monday at Saltwater, Ok.
Mrs. Richardson has lately been over
whelmed with misfortune. About yea
and a half ago her husband died, leaving
her to battle alone for the support OF her
self and children. And her natural talent
and native pluck was enabling her to sue
coed. when fell disease attacked her
fayorite son, Kenneth Young. bright
manly lad of fourteen years. the pride OF a
,ro,her,s heart. Kenneth was one OF
those bows who won friends among all
classes by his honest, courageous way OF
demeaning himself His frank. fearless
character was his Charm. But the RECORD
of his Young life is sealed book. he mas
eireated from the din of life and the gates
have closed behind him forever.
Not long since Kenneth came into poses
sion of handsome legacy in the way OF
landed estate only few miles from the
beautiful city of Louisville, brqueathed
him by his grandfather, aud he was look
ing forward to the time when he could
occupy the estate with his mother and en-
Joy life to the fullest extent. But man
proposes and God disposes.
Mrs. Richardson has many warm friends
in this city who will deeply sympathize
with her in her bereavement and over
shadowing calamity.

that never in all his life had he allowed
such address without seeking satisfac-

great plug of tobacco and quietly put
it in his mouth. His manner almost

Oddities Of Taste.

Among the curiosities OF taste, the
Partisan passion for self-exhibition at
the morgue must hold a conspicuous
place. The principal keeper at the
morgue is said to have had many APP
plications from persons eager to figure
as corpses on the slabs of the dead
house. They were deferred By the
official announcement that the temper
ature of the bodies was kept some de-
grees below zero. If this discomfort
could have been endured for twelve
hours, and if the authorities could
have been persuaded to lend them
selves to such fraud, what materials
for coup in Journalism would have
been afforded TO some epterprising
genius!
