Summoned to Explain His Connection
With His Defunct Publishing House.
NEW YORK, July 15.-Mark Twain,
the humorist, has been undergoing u
legal examination at the Office of his law
yers on account of the failure last year
OF. the publishing house of Charles L.
Webster g. Co., in which Mr.. Clemens
was partner.
An attempt is being made by Thomas
Russell & Sons, printers, to collect 5000
from the bankrupt concern. Mr.. Glenn
ems returned from Europe, where he had
gone for the benefit of his health about
six weeks ago. He has been staying at
Elmira under a physicians care ever
since.
At the time of the failure the liabilities
of the firm amounted to about $4,000.
The assets consisted of contracts with
authors for the publication of books, and
copyrights of previously published books
as we'll as the unsold volumes of various
kinds that had accumulated during the
nine years. existence of the firm, were, it
was estimated, worth something like
5000
The largest debt of the publishing
firm was to Mrs. Clemens, who had at
different times advanced $4,000 in mon
ey to help along the business. After the
failure a medical certificate was pro-
| duced declaring that the humorist had a
carbuncle on his leg.

Die.

Mrs. Leonard, Formerly Rachel Beaver.
Die.
For the second time during her honey
moon Mrs. Andy Leonard, who lives at
116 Kansas avenue north, yesterday
afternoon made an attempt to beat both
the Lord and the divorce court by taking
morphine.
Mrs. Leonard was formerly Miss
Rachel Beaver, with whom the police
were acquainted. and Joined her lot with
that of Leonard less than two months
ago. Less than three weeks afterward
she tried to get rid of him by the use of
morphine but it was a failure.
Yesterday afternoon Leonard was doe
ing on the cellar door and Rachel threw
a dipper full of water on him. He threw
two dipper fulls on her and she came
back again. Andy then raised her
several dipper fulls and made it bucket
and, before the row ended, another
bucket
Mrs. Leonard had no longer use for
life after that and took twelve morphine
pills of ene-eighth grain each. Tn ere
was excitement after that, and DR.. c. s.
McClintock was summoned. So were
several policemen. All this made
Rachel mad and she got up off cellar
door where she had lain down to die and
picking up brick, requested that they
go away and let her do her own dying.
Some of the more feeling ones went.
She would not allow the doctor to do
anything for her and finally slept the

sic, painting, elocution and cooking and
then entered California State UNIVERSE
ty, where she studied early and late for
four years before she was graduated,
third in point of merit in class of over
60, and was the first woman to receive
the degree of doctor of science from the
College of Mechanics.
After graduating she taught school
for five months and then returned to the
State university for post graduate work
in science. The professors considered
her marvel and encouraged her in her
ambition to pursue scientific work in
some eastern college. She entered Cor
nell in 1898, and on May 90 of the
present year took her final examination.
For four hours three learned professors
gave her scientific knowledge a severe
test and then told her she could have
her degree.

JUMPS IN THE RIVER.
Mrs. Edward McGinnis Commits
Suicide Sunday Afternoon.
SUFFERING FROM A SUNSTROKE

Which She Received Six Years Age
The Body Recovered soon After the
Act OF Suicide.
Mrs. Edward McGinnis, aged so, of
9O4 Jefferson street, committed suicide
Sunday afternoon by jumping into the
Kansas river. During the past few weeks
Mrs McGinnis had been suffering from
the effects of q sunstroke received six
years ago, and she was no doubt tenn
porarily insane.
Not much is known regarding the de-
tails of her death. First reports had it
that she had leRped from the Santa Fe
bridge This is disproven by several
people who are positive that she jumped
into the river at the foot of Jefferson
street. A little boy saw her go into the
river, and says she threw her parasoI
into the water first He thought she was
trying to get it and fell in.
The affair occurred at about o'clock
Three-quarters of an hour later her
body was found floating in the river 500
yards below the Santa Fe bridge by Mar
tin Shultz who was in boat. The river
is higher than it has been for several
months and Sunday it was steadily ris-
ing. This fact. it is said, had a tendency
to keep the body near the shore and
ahoat.
In the summer of 1889 Mrs. McGinnis
was the victim OF 4 sun-stroke. This
summer she has suffered greatly from
the effects of it and has complained of
pains in her head Her physicians told
her that she was threatened with soften
ing of the brain, and she suffered from
insomnia. The members of her family
and the. neighbors say she had been
''queer" for several weeks.
s'She was undoubtedly insane" Edward
McGinnis, her husband, said to JoUN-
NAL reporter today. II had noticed it
for some time but none of us ever sus-
pected she would do anything like this.
After dinner yesterday I was lying down
upstairs and l supposed my wife was
around the house somewhere. l came
down about three o'clock and
asked where she was, and
was told she had put on her
sun bonnet and gone to visit our daugh-
ter. l went over there and found she
had not been there. Then l became
| alarmed, and as soon as 1 heard that a
lady had been drowned in the river l be-
gan to suspect the truth. She had been
suffering from brain trouble for several
weeks and we knew she was not quite
| right.
The coroner's inquest was held this
afternoon at 2 o'clock and returned a
verdict of suicide while temporarily in
sane The funeral will be held at the
| Church of the Assum ption. of which she
was lifelong member, tomorrow morn
ing at 9 o'clock.
Mrs. McGinnis was the mother of two
boys and five daughters. Ed McGinnis
Jr., works in Joseph Bromich's boiler
works and James, aged %, works al
/ VOLTS packing house. Her daughters
are Mrs. John Parkinson, Mrs. John
Kelly, Mrs. James .Mallarry and Misses
Annie and Gertrude McGihnis. Her
husband, Edward McGinnis, is an old
resident of Topeka, having been en-
ployed in the Santa Fe round house fol-
! twenty five years.

the very heart of the sunny south in the
ordinary fitness of things, but Dan EN-
NETT was an OhiOan, and Dixie was
written and first sung in New York
city, which furnished thousands of the
very first troops that went to the front
to crush secession.
Daniel Decatur Emmett, old, poor
and broken in health, is still living in
a little house near Mount Vernon, o.
He made a great deal of money in his
days of popularity, but he spent it as
fast as he got it. Now he lives alone in
his very modest board shanty and de-
votes most Of his time to his chickens,
his pet cat Chillipaluchia and his Bible.
He was born in Mount Vernon Oct %,
1915, and received a very limited edu-
cation. From early boyhood, however,
he played the fife and violin by ear and
displayed marked talent for music. He
also possessed very pleasing voice
the voice that afterward won him fame
and fortune.
He left school at an early age, be-
came a journeyman printer, and for
time travelled with a circus as a team
ster. In 1884, when mere boy of 10, he
enlisted in the regular army, and for IA
months was 1ifer in a company Of in
fantry. He next ran away with a circus
that showed in Cincinnati and drifted
to New York, where he worked on news
papers during the winter and in summer
travelled with circuses. One evening
Emmett, Francis Marion Brewer, vii
liam Whitlock and William Ward Pei
ham gave an entertainment at their
boarding house in New York and sang
negro songs.
To heighten the realism Emmett sug-
gested that they black up with stove
SCOT. They did so, and their modest
minstrel show was SO successful that
they gave public entertainment as the
Virginia Ministries in Chatham theater.
This, the first minstrel show, was ter
rife hit, and Emmett's notable career
as a black face artist began. While with
Bryant's MINISTRIES he composed numer-
Gus "walk arounds, - among them cold
Dan Tucker. - One dav in the spring
of 1859 Jerry Bryant wanted a new
''walk around,' and Emmett hurriedly
composed ''Dixie.' 1t was first sung in
Mechanics hall, New York; it caught
the fancy of the people, and when Sum-
ter was fired on the soldiers Of the Con-
federacy adopted it as their war song.

She is Playing kathleen Mavourneen"

She is Playing kathleen Mavournesn"
for the Great Bend College.
Mrs. Althea Briggs Stryker of Great
Bend has appeared before the public in
a new role. She and a company of
young people from the Great Bend coll
lege, of which her husband is president,
are playing that good old bit of Irish
romance ''Nathleen Mavourneen" in the
towns in her vicinity for the benefit of
the college. Mrs. 6tryker is the Kath-
leen.
Judge Elrick C. Cole of Great Bend,
who is one of Mrs. STRIKERS warm per-
sonal friends, knows all about it though
he admits that for some reason he has
not yet been to see the play.
Mrs. Stryker is very much in earnest
about her admiration for Judge Cole
also and whenever he has campaign on
she gets right out and helps him even if
the biscuits burn.
'She ia a very bright and intelligent
woman" Judge Cole said to a JOURNAL
reporter. Mrs. Stryker will be glad to
know he said it.
As matter of fact Mrs. Stryker and
Judge Cole are on opposite sides of the
political fence and talk back sometimes,
but of course Judge Cole never says any
thing very mean.
Mrs. Stryker has not gone out of poll
tics, has she?" was asked him today.
''What, Mrs. Stryker out Of politicsv'
said Judge Cole. mot much. Mrs.
Stryker is never out of politics." and
may be he knows.

A STRONG LETTER.
WRITTEN BY A WELL KNOWN ST.
JOSEPH LADY.
There Is Moral in Letter Which
Every Body Should Heed
It Will Interest All.

The public must be aware of the fact
that Prof. Samuels meets with great sue
cess not only in Topeka, but everywhere
else. Wherever he goes the result is the
same Some persons have an idea that
if they only have glasses to look through,
that is all they need. If that is all man
cares for, why should he go to one of
these So called oculists and pay them a
large price for pair of glasses? The
question should be, do the glasses benefit
your eyes and make them stronger?
Prof. Samuels puts glasses on people and
after a while they do without them.
They restore their sight, make their
health good, and henceafter doctors are
unnecessary. There is no trick in max
ing people see with glasses Anyone can
do that Read letter from Mrs. w. G.
Fairleigh of st. Joseph, sister OF Mrs
Milton ToOtle;
ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-
Prof. Samues:
DEAR SIR: I feel that would be IN
grateful, indeed, if 1 did not in some
manner express my gratitude to you for
the wonderful benefit derived from the
use of your glasses My son, now four
teen years of age, has Eeen greatly
troubled with his eyes, and everything
possible was done for him, but without
success His sight was impaired to such
studying, and as q consequence remained
out of school quite while Something
over five years ago, when you returned
to st. Joseph, was advised to visit you,
and l am truly thankful that l did So
assure you your name will always be re-
membered by US as to you and you only
oar boy owes his good health and hsppi-
ness. At that time you fitted his eyes
with pair of your glasses and gave di-
rections which were followed with bene
fetal results. Immediately after he be-
gan wearing the glasses, he started &c
school, aud am pleased and gratified tc
say he has not missed day since. After
your glasses were worn six months his
sight returned and he has not had to use
them since. write this that it may be
the means of inducing other sufferers
with defective eyesight to be benefited
by the use of your glasses.
Very respectfully,
MRS W. G. FAIRLEIGH.
