F. B. Hayes Death. His Marriage to
Weathersfeld Girl.

w CuJhUl ouOiu Nthi'
The death of Francis B. Hayes,
the spendthrift son of the late Fran
CHS Brown Hayes, a Massachusetts
millionaire, at Dover, England, last
Saturday, recalls to many in this
vicinity his marriage few years ago
to a Weathersfeld girl of an old and
wealthy family, his subsequent mar
ital troubles and resulting lawsuits.
He was IN Woodstock several times.
coming here to consult with Hon.
w. Z. Johnson, who was his legal
adviser at the time.
The Boston Post of last Sunday
dcvotes considerable space to an ac-
count of his exciting career, exploits
in Europe, and associations with
stage celebrities, his life in Vermont
having been especially eventful. He
had plenty of money and spent 1t
lavishly, though never "blowing it
in" for his own selfish enjoyment.
Though he had met many beautiful
women in his travels, he never, it is
said. had serious affair of the heart
until he met Miss Nino X. Hunt of
WeathersfieId, whom, after brief
courtship, during which he lived
very quietly at his handsome villa,
"Anv Port" at Ascutneyville, he
married.
He did not remain long contented
with quiet domestic life in Wealth
eroficld, hvwvvor, and tho pai' coon
became estranged as the result OF his
many vagaries. Mrs. Hayes then
brought suit for separate main
tenancc, which was settled by mutual
agreement between the parties, and
Judgment of the court was entered
according to the agreement.
1t was while this case was pend
ING that the horse whipping incident
occurred. Ugly stories, it is said
had been circulated by Hayes CON
corning his wife, and her two broth
ers, CIV de, who was in Woodstock
for several weeks last summer, and
Jarvis, armed with stout and aScetit
looking whips, gave their profilgate
brothcr-in-law sound thrashlng.
HAYES drew a pistol in the scrim
mage and fired, but the two brothers
escaped safely
\ dozen or more lawsuits was the
outcome of this affair, his unhapp,
matrimonial experience, and an at
tempt made by Mrs. Hayes father
Col. Lcavitt Hunt, to make him pay
for the support of his wife and child
In all these entanglcments, only ont
or two coming to trial, Mr.. johnson
was his counsel.
Mr., Johnson corroborates tn
main points of the Posts interesting
story. "IIaycs knew how to spcn'
money!" SAID he, land the trustees o
the large estate to which he was hcl
were continually harassed to keel
him supplied with cash. 1t was a
ordinary occurrence for them to re

"NIrs. Hayes mother was II,
daughter of the late Consul Jarvis,

wealthy Weathersheld family of tina
name"
Mrs. Hayes is now said to be liz
ing in Cambridge, Mass.

SILVER PROSPECTS,
Authorities Look for an Improved
Demand for the Metal.
EXODUS OF GOVERNMENT WORKERS.


NEW YORK, Oct. 92.-The best author.
tiles on silver look for q steadily i'm
proving demand for the metal for some
time to come. The willingness Of
Japan to accept the indemnity from
China in silver contributed largely to
the improvement in its price which
has been noted during the last few
months, and the accumulation Of the
metal In London will go on in order to
complete the installments OF the III.
demnity at various dates OF payment
Mr.. Townsend Of the Hong Kong bank
confirms this view, and reports in an in
terview that the bank Is about to make
a large shipment Of silver to Japan.
Both China and Japan are showing
increasing inquiry for silver, as the
large amounts OF the metal distributed
by both countries in payment for war
material and supplies has been diverted
to India and other silver countries.
Mr. Townsend adds that the silver was
ordered two months ago and has only
just been delivered. The silver
smelters are said to be sold ahead for
two months. Japan is minting most Of
Its silver money.

The Luther League was given n
treat Saturday evening in the annual
sermon delivered by Rev. A. H. Wag-
ncr Of Topeka. The Lutheran church
was filled and the congregation heard
a polished orator and a thoughtful,
practical, uplifting address. 1.-The
Great Commission" was its topic and
1t was Just such an address as people
should hear often. The Importance
Of the duty at hand, the necessity of
correcting the idea that all good is
aiar off, the duty of taking up the
humble work that you can do well
instead Of making a failure in at
tempting too high things-these were
its lessons. It was full Of common
sense, concsely and eloquontly put
and was characteristic Of the clear
headed Topeka pastor
Rev. |. B. Kelsey, Of Waterville,
president Of the League, was cele-
brant. Miss Ursula Ellison sang a
soprano solo, "My God and Father
While Stray Mr.. Thomas Emmett
Dewey gave brief talk on poetry
and song, Introductory to rcciting
Tennyson's Crossing the Bar" The
poem was then given as a contralto
solo by Mrs. Niesley. This feature
Of the program was appreciated by
all.
The League elected the following
officers; President, |, b, Kelsey;
vice president, G. +. Smith, Abilene;
secretary, Miss Florence 4, Bond, Sa-
lima; treasurer, Miss Grace Peters,
Abilene. The reelection of Rev.
Kelsey and Miss Bond to their posi-
tions was deserved compliment to
two Of the Leagues most devoted
workers. Next year the society will
meet at Lindsborg.

About VENEZUELA.

oLNEY SILENT on The QUESTION.
A Paris Newspaper Says That England 10
Right In Her Contention and That
France VIII Bs Compelled to
Initiate Her.

LONDON, Oct 2o.-In view OF the
many reports In circulation regarding
the attitude Of Great Britain towards
Venezuela, the following official an
nouncement was made to-day: In con.
sequence Of Venezuela not offering
an apology or reparation Of the Uruan
incident the marquis Of Salisbury
has taken steps TO inform her as to
what PREPARATION Great Britain requires
But, as relations between the two
countries have been broken of for
some years, the communication was
not sent through the direct diplo.
matte channel. As the document has
not reached its destination, it is not
considered desirable to give the details
Of Its contents But 1t is couched in
forcible terms and points out that
Great Britain will not permit venezu.
ella to overstep the boundaries marked
by the courses Of the rivers Cuyune
and Amacura; but is willing that the
question Of the other disputed terri
tory should be submitted to arbitra-
ton.
SECRETARY OLNEy KEEPING SILENT.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. The London
official statement fails to elicit any re-
sponsive statement from the state de-
partment and the officials, under Sec
Rotary Olneys instructions, in preser Y.
ing an absolute silence upon the whole
subject OF the Venezuela affair, posi-
bly, deeming It prudent to learn
as much as they can Of the
British position without disclosing
their own stand. There issome reason
to believe that there is disposition on
the part Of the British foreign Office to
shift the issue, II IT is possible to do 20
without relinquishing any ground d.
rectly upon the boundary dispute; to
make the main issue their demand
for reparation for the treatment
accorded the colonial chief Of police at
Uruan some months ago This prob
ably would result in o repetition Of
the Corinto affair, and as the United
States admitted in that case that
nation had right to demand
reparation for an insult to the
national honor, the United States thus
might be placed in position where it
could find with difficulty reason for
interference, even though the real
motive for the demand might be de-
sire to clinch Great Britain's claim to
the disputed territory.
FRANCE SAYS ENGLAND IS RIGHT.
PARIS, Oct 90. lie Soir, speaking Of
the Venezuelan question, says: There
is tendency on the part Of America
to abuse the Monroe doctrine. En-
gland is right and France will be COM
PEELED to initiate her in order to secure
an equitable settlement Of several
questions.

way Lines Centering There.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 22.-The Nebraska
state board Of transportation has de-
cided to take hand in the depot ques-
ton in Omaha. Under the laws of the
state the board has authority TO COM
pei the railroads doing business in the
state to construct and maintain ade.
quate depot facilities at any and all
stations. Some time ago the board was
presented with petition signed by
thirty business men and property
owners in Omaha, asking that ac-
ton be taken to compel the railways
centering in Omaha to construct and
provide proper passenger depots in this
city. The board has acted on the
petition and has served notice upon
the Union Pacific, Burlington and
other roads with terminals in this city
to show cause why they should not
proceed at once to make the depot pro-
visions asked by the petitioners.
