X. r. HAYES Is Dead,

FREMONT. O., Jan. l7.-Ex President
Hayes died at II o'clock tonight, but
Information Of his death was not known
for same time later, as everything was
kept exceedingly quiet in the vicinity OF
the Hayes mansion, The members of
the family had spent the day quietly at
home and nothing seemed to Indicate
that the death of the general was ex-
peeted. Webb Hayes went to the bank
where he is employed as usual this
morning, The family has all along been
reJieent concerning the condition OF the
patient
General Hayes started from Cleveland
for his home in Fremont Saturday "a
ternoou. At the Union depot, upon
entering the cars, he complained of ex-
haustion and asked for stimulants.
They were given to him and he refused,
saying; Il want to so home; l would
rather die in Spiegel grove than live
anywhere else" He was seized with
violent p ,ins in the chest, which lasted
afer his return home. He was treated
for argina pectoris, but while relive OF
the distress, his heart never recovered
its vigor, and life was suddenly termin-
ated at II O'Clock tonight by paralysis
OF the heart While dying in his own
chamber he frequently referred to a visit
made to his wife's grave on the proceed
ing Sunday aud spoke of the quiet
beauty Of the snow covered landscape.
He said that he almost wished he was
lying there by the side of his wife, it
was all so peaceful, land yet said be,
Il am not unhappy, my life is an ex-
ceptionally happy one" The family re
ceiyed the summons to his bedside,
when it became apparent about 10
o'clock that the ex- president was sink
ing. His last words we're to his family

CALIFORNIA HERMlTS.
Men Passing Their Lives In Idle Solitude
on the Mountain Tops.

Men Passing Their Lives In Idle Solitude
on the Mountain Tops.
Is man essentially a social animal? The
scientists say SO. But in the mountains
Of California there are almost enough
men who for years have led life of ut
ter solitude to disprOve the generaliza-
ton. These mountain hermits can be
found scattered through the Sierras and
the coast range from one end OF the state
to the other They are particularly nu-
merous through this region, centering
about the Yosemite valley and extend
ing far back into the high Sierras. Some
Of them were once guides in the valley,
others have been miners, and some
again seem to have taken up the life of
solitude simply because they like it.
To this class belongs old p. r. Gibson
-"Old Glib, as he is generally called
who lives ON a mountain ranch. He is
seventy-fve years old, but is possessed of
as much physical strength and endurance
as the average man of half his age. He
came thirty years ago from Tennessee,
where he left wife and large family
of children. One of his sons came to see
him recently and tried to induce him to
visit his former home, but "Old Glib"
steadfastly refused to leave his little
ranch and solitary cabin. He has never
seen a railroad and the stage drivers
from the nearest station try their utmost
to persuade him to go to town and at
least look at a train Of cars. But his in
variable answer is: do you think I'm
1 4, l..
one of them there blamed engines? Not
much!"
Nearly all the men who live this life
of solitude very long get bit queer in
the head, and "Old Glib" is no exception
to the rule. He has rigmarole descrip-
ton of himself which declares that he is
"the best man in the United States or
adjoining territories, either directly or
indirectly, financially, commercially, &C.
Realistically or unchurchifed." The old
man is a hard worker, and when he is
not busy on his ranch he is working
energetically making "shakes"-that is,
clapboards split and sawed by hand from
big pine trees.
Old man Lambert, who has cabin In
the high Sierras some thirty miles back
of the Yosemite, is another of the noun
tain hermits. He has neither ranch nor
mining claim, but lives by what he
shoots and by an occasional few dollars
earned from camping parties. He has
lived alone in that same spot for years
and years, and will in all likelihood stay
there until he dies. There are months
at a time that he does not see another
human being. a party of campers one
summer found him making a huge stone
wall that seemed to have no purpose
whatever, In surprise they asked him
what he was piling up those stones for.
Why he said, "a mans got to do
something, up here alone, or he'll go
wrong, sure. Cor. Augusta Ca Chron-
icle.

KIng,s Daughters In Turkey.

Smyrna, Turkey, has an active circle
of Kings Daughters engaged in the prac-
teal charitable work for which this or
der is noted. By sewing embroidering
scrubbing floors, blackening shoes, or
any work for which money would be
paid, they have distributed rice and coal
among the poor, visited the sick, edu-
Gated children, provided medicines, paid
rents and done other similar acts of
charity. On holidays they divide into

FIRED Tile GRASS.

ARKANSAS CITY, Sept. 16.-The cow
boys on their ponies took the lead in
the race from this place. They had
gone but short distance when they
spread out over the prairie and, dis
mounting, set fire to the thick
prairie grass, hoping thus to turn
asid those who were following. The
fires spread rapidly at first, but the
wind was blowing from the north
driving the flames south, and they were
soon stopped by a deep gdlIy which
parallels the Cherokee three miles
south of here. Horses could not be
urged through the flames, and many
were turned back. No damage was
done by the flames so far as known,
further than destroying the grass and
impeding the racers.
An old man named James FL. Hill, of
Kingdom, n. j., was shot and instantly
killed by a soldier at the southwest
corner oil the Chilocco reservation. He
started into the strip before the signal
was given. The soldiers warned him to
stop, but he did not need their orders
and they fired upon him. The sum of
$500 was found on his person, and it was
turned over to the sheriff

CAPTURED by sooNERs.
They Get Choice Lots in One of the
Best Towns

PERRY, o. T., Sept. 16.-This town,
the county seat of County So" and the
principal town-site on the line OF the
Santa Fe road. fell into the hands
OF the sooners. Seven minutes after
noon humber of horsemen were seen
scampering in this direction from the
flint hills over towards the east, and
five minutes later party of 200 horse
men under the lead of Jim Masterson,
mounted on Bill Dalton's famous horse,
descended upon the townsite and occu-
pied the choicest lots. They chose
the lots Immediately surrounding
the land office where the business
portion of the town will doubtless be
built. That they were sooners who had
been hiding in the flint hills is abso-
lutely certain, for no horse has yet been
found who can make nine miles in
twelve minutes. AT 1915 the honest
boomers began to come in. They, too,
were mounted on horses, and they beat
the Santa Fee excursion trains by eight
minutes. 1t is estimated that 5000 peo-
pie have claimed lots during the after
noon.
Early this morning the United States
troops made last hunt for sooners.
They discovered an even score, among
them being Mrs. Silver, known all over
the West as being the proprietress of
dance halls in mining camps and border
towns. The troops brought them to
the guardhOuse here and kept them in
confinement until late in the afternoon.
Up to 6 O'Clock this evening there had
been no serious disturbances here.

a NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY.

One hundred years ago tomorrow the
corner stone Of the national capitol at
Washington was laid with appropriate
ceremonies. GEORGE WASHINGTON act
ing as master of ceremonies IN his dual
capacity of president of the United
States and grand master of Free and
Accepted Masons. The centennial of
the event will be appropriately cele-
brated at the national capital tomorrow.
both houses of congress, the executive
departments and the judges and officers
of the supreme court participating. The
event promises to be one of the most
interesting of all the centennial ceIebra-
tons of late years which began with
the Philadelphia exposition of 1876.
1t required seven years to fit the capt.
tol for occupancy, the first session of
congress having been held within its
walls in the year 1900. The original
building was completely destroyed dur
ing the bonbardment 10y the British
fleet in 1914, and the present building
was begun several years afterward.
Additions have been made to it from
time TO time, until Its present propor-
tons and completeness Of detail have
been attained. The total cost Of the
building, including the furnishings,
works of art and establishment of the
grounds, has been somewhat less than
twenty million dollars. Many of the
state capitols have cost more, particu-
iarly the New York capitol at Albany,
and are vastly inferior to the Washing
ton structure in design, in material of
construction, in finish and in furnish
ings.
1t is eminently proper that the ceie-
bration OF Monday should be an impos-
ing one. 1t will call to mind the early
struggles of the government for exist
ence, and reawaken an interest in those
sturdy patriots VINO struggled so hard
aud sacrificed SO much in the cause of
human freedom. 1t will recall the SIM
plicity that characterized our public
servants in those far-away days, and
perhaps some comparisons may be inSti-
tuted not at all flattering to the people
of the present day. But of one thing
we have reason to be proud. The pres
enteceupant OF the executive chair-he

Mss POLLARD TALKS.
Devoted to Col. Breckenridge for
Nine Years

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Repeated eff
forts by the brightest men of the press
in this city have failed to elicit word
from Madeline Valeria Pollard concern
ing her relations with Congressman w.
c. Breckenridge, of Kentucky. but today
two correspondents induced her to
break the long silence. Her story is
graphic and explicit. and is over her
own signature. She commences by say
Ing that she has been silent under the
advice of counsel. but that the neces-
sity for silence is now removed. In her
eXordium she says:
II feel an irresistible impulse to tell
the story of my life; the amount of de-
ception in which have been forced to
i've for nine years, for my infatuated
devotion for Col. Breekinridge, kept
alive until few months ago by his
own devotion to- and his consider
alton of me. For him alone, and
to shield him from his guilty rela-
tons with me, l have ever resorted
to falseho0d and deception. With this
man alone have | ever been guilty of a
single impure thought or act. The mis-
cradle reward of my fidelity is a SER
mon in itself to show how low the high
est devotion the human soul is capable
of may fall.''
She then tells of her life in Frank
fort, KY, from childhood on, OF her
early engagement to James G. Rhodes,
OF her education under his care. 1t was
at the home of the widow of Gov.
Blackburn that Mr.. Breckenridge made
first public recognition Of her as bis
future wife. From that time on she
says she had given up her whole life to
him. The statement concludes as fol-
lows:
II always sat in the gallery to hear
his speeches on the floor, and signed to
him if his voice was too weak or if atten-
ton waned. He never made speech
that there was not a message di-
rect to me in it, and, though it be-
longed to the speech, and may have
been very prosaic, it meant much TO
him and me. MIR. Breckenridge always
introduced people to me and treated me
with the utmost Difference and respect,
and in no way in the nine years of our
life together did he fail to do this until
he began the denials of our engage
