SHE'S A WOMAN OFDESTINY


OLATHE. Kas., May 17.-Mrs. Mary E.
Lease is still in serious condition at the
Deaf and Dumb institute in this city, suf
fering with nervous Drostration and
rheumatism. She has been sick for more
than week and today shows but little
improvement. The Minnesota crank still
has her on his list She is terrorized al
most daily with letters from him, warn
ing her of the approaching day set for
her death at his hands. In letter re-
ceived today, this time dated from Cres-
ton, Ia, the crank says:
"A1rs. Lease to die May 90 The vision
tells me every night to kill her, and L am
content The blood of the Nazarene is
safe guard. Mrs. Lease was born Cath
Ollie and must not be president The Naz-
arene is my hope, and he says to put her
out of the way. for she inculcates doc
trines that are perniciOus. May 20 is the
time for me to stand over her coffin and
weep for the Nazarene."
There is no doubt that Mrs. Lease be-
lieves that bodily harm will be done to
her by this crank. She has said that she
believed she was a woman of destiny,
and she added: "As a woman of destiny
| feel that will one day meet a violent
and bloody death for my opinions"

FAIRyIEW YAHOOS.

Nine Country Roughs Finally Have to
BE Fined in Court
Nine young men, from 16 to ~ years
of age, some of them representing the
best families of Soldier township. were
taken before Justice MARBLE, OF North
Topeka, today on charges of disturbing
the peace, and two of them with addi-
tional charges of assault and battery.
They all pleaded guilty and were fined
50 each on each count, and costs, which
averaged about $13 each. The boys are,
William Burns, Dennis Burns, Arthur
Haines, James Brown, Russell Stock,
George Brittenham, Charles Blanchard,
Homer Hall and Elmer Fisher.
The young men are said to have been
a menace to the Methodist Sunday
school that meets in the Fairview school
house for several years. They whisper
and ''cut up" in a way not approved by
the teachers or the superintendent. Sew
eral months ago some of the pillars OF
the congregation went before County
Attorney Stafford and wanted them ar
rested. The case was compromised by
Mr.. Stafford writing letter to each one
of the boys warning them to behave.
The letter had the desired effect for sew
eral Sundays, but the boys commenced
again. and last Sunday they were worse
than ever and even went so far as to as
sault G. G. Knox, s. G. Sarpen and Carl
Fairbault.
The father of the Burns boys has
$3.50 to pay and the rest of the boys
average over SIS each. The costs in the
nine cases amount to about 1925.

NEWS OF KANSAS.
LeavenwOrth Railroads Fright
ened by the COxeyites.
Run ALI Their Trains Out of
Town.
OTHER STATE NEWS.
Arkansas City Wins the ID. NJ.
& A. Bond Case.
OTHER STATE NEWS.

LEAvENwORTH, May II. - The rail-
roads here have been very much worked
up on account of the presence of the in
dustrial army and have been taking
every precaution to prevent train seiz-
ing. In fact their condition amounted
almost to fright and local traffic was
nearly suspended. Now that the army has
been held for trial, however, it is expect
ed that the railroads will restore their
trains.
The Rock Island was the first to take
any step and its regular Leavenworth
passenger train and switch engines were
run over into Missouri by order of Supt
ID. A White. The Burlington soon fol-
lowed. The ''Eli' train was sent to Kan
sas City and the "plug" that makes con-
nectiOns with trains at East Leavenworth
was sent to point near there.
The Burlington temporarily trans
ferred passengers between this city and
East Leavenworth by wagon.
Postmaster Ritchey was notified by
the Rock Island that he would have to
make other arrangements for carrying
the mails that go out and come in here
over that road.
G. M. Hohl of the Burlington stated
that both roads feared the Coxeyites or
''industrialists," and did not propose to
take any chances. They would rather
cripple their business here for a time
than to have a train seized and be at the
mercy of a lawless band from one end of
the line to the other.
United States Marshal Nicely was as
greatly surprised as anybody when in
formed that these roads had pulled out of
Leavenworth. He said there was no
and his men were in the hands of the
court.

FREE DISESTABLISHMENT.


Church Members.
LONDON, May ia manifesto signed
by the English archbishOps and by thirty
one bishops, has been addressed to
the members of the church of England,
in Wales.
The manifesto declares that the bill
for the disestablishment of the church in
Wales, if it should become a law, would
weaken the unity of the church and
ALLEVIATE the ancient gifts by which the
service of God and the pastoral care of
the people were maintained for centu-
ries; that it would deprive the poor of
their legal rights to seats in the church
es, and of the ministration of the clergy
to their sick and dying, and would re-
duce the church of Wales to penury,
thereby impeding the worship of God.
The manifesto appeal to the poor and
the rich to consider the matter fully and
urges laymen and the clergy to explain
the matter to the people, though the
clergy, it is added, must refrain from
reference to the bill in the pulpit, thus
keeping the house of God free from con-
tention.
The clergy. however, are instructed to
insert in their services a special collec-
ton for the preservation of the church.
Christian electors are asked to consider
how their votes can preserve them from
an alienation of the rights enjoyed for
ages for Gods service and for the peo-
pies welfare.
The bill for the disestablishment of
the church in Wales and Monmouth was
introduced in the house of commons by
Home Secretary AsQuith on April 20.

BOTH MEN WERE KILLED.
A Fatal Accident Santa Fe Section Men
at Scranton.

II
at Scranton.
The dispositions of G. Peterson, con-
ductor, and Smith McConnors, brake
man, of the Santa Fe, were taken by
Trainmaster H A. Tice this morning in
regard to the killing at Scranton yester-
day of Sectionmen James Hannigan and
B. f. Harris at $40 p. m The accident
occurred in the Scranton yards and
seems to have been due to the
lack of judgment of the men them
and running ahead of the extra freight
train which was backing down the track
and McConnors, who was on the front
end of the way car, thought they would
succeed in getting out of the way, which
they could have done had they kept the
car moving until the train stopped
McConnors gave the signal to stop,
however, but the men seem to have be-
come confused and stopping the car I'M
dertook to take it from the track without
even trying to save themselves. The
train was stopped quickly as possible
but not before they had been struck and
instantly killed. Hannigan's body was
cut in two at the abdomen and Harris
neck was broken and one of his feet cut
off.
Both were married men and leave
families. The coroner's jury, which was
impaneled before supper time, in its
verdict attached no blame to the train
men as it was shown conclusively that
the men could have saved themselves and
that the trainmen did all they could to
stop the train and avert the accident.
The remains of the men will be buried
at Scranton today.

GOULD ON HARD TIMES.
Says They Are Largely Due To III Treat
ment of Railroads.

Says They Are Largely Due To III Treat
ment of Railroads
NEW York, May 1z-JEst previous to
sailing for Europe, George Gould, when
asked about the business situation
throughout the country, replied:
at seems to me business in improving,
but very slowly. The outlook for the
crops is new good. Merchants are not
buying very extensively and are living
from hand to mouth. Stocks of goods
low and people must buy, for they must
consume a certain amount every year.
Exhausted stock must be replenished
soon At present we are comparing
with very active business during the
same period last year. The Worlds fair
thing was rushed. The falling off did
not set in until June.
1.-THE Improvement must, believe, be
gradual. The country cannot at once
recover from the effects of such terria-
Bile crisis as that of the past year. Re-
cuperation must be slow for the wounds
were deep. Railroads will recover with
slowly reviving business.
$40 me it seems the existing democrat
izatian is very largely due to the HOSTILE
ity of Legislators and of congress to cor
pOratiOn5 and corporate interests. The
interstate commerce act is in part respon-
sible. The public has received no bene-
tit from its operations. Only its hurtful
features are in effect today.
Anything that would most quickly
cure present troubles would be an
amendment to the interstate commerce
law, allowing railroads to pool, under, of
course, proper restrictions as to fair rates,
etc.
at is not possible for a country to
prosper while its great corporate inter
ests are FRUSTRATED through hostile leg
islatiOn.
when the great railroad interests of
the country are poor, every branch of
trade and commerce is affected. The
roads will buy less rails, and that affects
the iron industry and its workmen. Less
ties and building materials will
necessarily be purchased, and those
trades are affected. Those in
turn influence other capital and
labor through almost endless ramifica-
tions and it does not seem to me any
thing would SO quickly put US back on
the road to prosperity as some fair treat
ment of these great interests by the rep
resentatives of the people now in power"

COXEYISM A SYMPTOM.

Johnson of Ohio, has written
Labor Commissioner BrentIinger,
"While / disagree entirely with
Mr.. Coxey as regards his proposed RENE
dies for existing evils, l feel that this
movement and the present labor
troubles are symptoms of widespread
dissatisfaction, and that indifference
contempt or anything that looks like
repression of free speech will only in
tensify the dissatisfaction.
''The real anarchists of today are those
who ignore the evils and seek to stop free
discussion. The conservatives are those
who. seeing the wrongs, are anxious to
freely discuss and abolish them.0 The
single tax, he says, would remedy the
existing trouble.
