Hundreds Thrnng the Art ParIors of Pro-

Hundreds Tbrnng the Art ParIors of Pro-
fessor Adam of Fairmount.

of art Professor Adam of Paramount
college who holds membership in art
academies of this country and Europe,
gave an art exhibition in his parlors on
the fourth floor of the Sedgwick block.
There were fifty or more pieces of his
work on exhibition including some work
In plaster OF paris. The main feature,
however, Of his work was a fine collec-

SUING THE LODGES
MRS. RDrh AMERICA HART AFTER
MAOABEES AND W0ODMEN.
her Son Held Policies in Both Lodges and
They Refuse to Pay Because He Com
mitted Suicide-He Was the Same Man
Who Killed His Wife and Then Killed
Himself in This City q Few Months Ago
Six Thousand Dollars Involved In the
Suit, Half for the Mother and Half for
the Son.

Suit has been commenced in the dis
the recovery of $4,000 from the Knights
OF the Macabees and the Modern Wood
men OF the World
Both of these organizations are we'll
known as mutual benefit and insurance
societies. The suit is the outgrowth
Of the murder and suicide OF Mrs. and
Mr. Hart in a room on North Main
street about three or four months ago.
Mr.. Hart, as will be remembered, killed
his wife In a fit OF jealousy one Sunday
afternoon and then shot himself through
the head
Before he committed the act he made
disposition Of his insurance money, leav-
ing the $4,000 he held In the Modern
Woodmen of the World to his mother.
Ruth America Hart and leaving the
5000 he held in the Macabees society
to his son Everett l.. Hart.
When Mr.. Hart committed suicide an
effort was made to collect the insurance
but in vain on account of the rules Of
the societies governing their insurance
department. In one. at least, of the
societies 1t rs stipulated that if a MEM
Der commits suicide within one year af
ter taking out a policy the contract is
null and void. Mrs. Hart will, doubt
less, contest on the ground that when
her son paid mis- initiation fee and dues
and was admitted to the order that
the contract to pay the policy at his
death became operative and that suicide
within a. year or any other time limit
does not destroy the rights of the ben
eficiary TO collect. When the defend
ants make answer more will be learned
concerning the details. Mrs. Hart is
the guardian OF her grandson duly ap-
pointed by the probate court

HORSE TRAMPLES PEOPLE.
A Runaway Dashes Into a Dense
Crowd at Race Track Injur-
ing Many.

Rushville, Ind, Aug. 28.-A most
thrilling race track runaway, in which
1t seems simply miraculous that several
people were not killed, occurred at the
fair grounds. AS it is, eight persons
are injured, two severely hurt They
are:
George V. vonphul, Greensburg, two
ribs broken, shoulder disIocated and
two toes of left foot broken.
Mrs. Thomas, bruised abdomen and
lower limbs
Mrs. Frank Windler, city; cut on
head.
Mrs. George F. Moore. city, badly
bruised on body.
McClelland Maple, city; back injured
Miss Bertie King, prostration from
fear
Two children, trampled under horses
feet.
It was in the last half of the second
heat of the ESQ pace Mamie Wood
collided with the sulky of Car. The
later tore down the home stretch with
out a driver. Mamie Wood, racing at
a gallOp, started toward a gap at the
east end of the track. Fully 1000 per
sons were crowded near this gap. Into
this crowd at a fearful pace dashed the
terrified race horse, trampling under
foot women and children for 200 feet
through the crowd.
The horse dashed on until it became
entangIed among seats and fell. The
SulIxy was broken into hundred pieces
The greatest excitement was caused by
the runaway and the crowd was stam-
peded, men, women and children max
ing frantic rush to get away. Many
were knocked down and bruised, but
not seriously.

.sREPUBLIC'' is BURNED.
The GiIded Statue in the Grand Basin
at the Worlds Fair Destroyed.

Chicago, Aug 28.-At an early hour
this morning, the statue of the Repub-
lie which stood at the head of the
Grand Basin in Jackson park, during
the Columbian exposition, was burned
by order of the South Side park com
missioners. The figure cost about $25,-
900 and was sixty feet high, standing
on a pedestal forty feet in height. The
cost of gliding the figure which was
made of staff, was about $4,000.
When the fair grounds were scourg-
ed by fire which destroyed some of the
huge buildings, and swept away in a
night those features, most familiar to
sight-seers during the exposition, Re
public stood as if defying the element
of ruin. The statue, that of a woman,
stood with uplifted arms. In her right
hand she held a sphere surmounted by
an eagle. The left hand supported a
staff, surmounted by liberty cap. The
commissioners were 10th to give the
order for her destruction, and with
held it until the improvements in the
park made it necessary either to re-
move the statue, or to put it in a con-
dition in keeping with the beauty of
the park. Several plans were offered
by which the statue might be pre-
served, but none met with the approval
of the majority and so her death war
rant was sealed.
Daniel c. French, the sculptor of this
colossal Worlds fair ornament, was
born in Cam bridge, Mass, but of late
years his regular studio has been in
New York City.

KANSAS FOR M'KINLEY
Says Ex-Governor T. a Osborne Who
is in Leavenworth.


Leavenworth, Aug. 2S.-Ex- Governor
Thomas A Osborne Of Topeka came
over to Leavenwort yesterday to
visit old friends. During the day he
was busy shaking hands and exchang-
ing greetings.
Yesterday afternoon a reporter met
Mr.. Osborne and asked him for his
opinion on the result of the national
election.
Governor Osborne said: Major Nc
Kinley viii certainly be elected presi-
dent Just as sure as election day
cOmes.'
How do you find public sentiment
on the financial question:
1T is perfectly apparent that many
who We're counted for free silver after
the St Louis convention are rapidly re-
turning to the Republican fold. Not a
day passes now that we don't hear of
a number coming back to the party of
their first love. Many who are not full
~ satisfied with the financial plank of
the Republican platform have discov-
cred something else in the contest 9TH
er than gold and silver"
What will be the result in Kansas ?'
Everything indicates that the Re
publicans will carry the state. The
POpulist state ticket is weak through
out. especially in the nominees for gov
ernOr and chief justice. A large pro-
portion of the Democrats will refuse to
support the fusion ticket and there are
not a few POpulists who Will vote for
the Repub bican state ticket instead of
the PODuliSt ticket

WHAT M'NALL SAID.
His Exact Words on the Railroads of
Kansas.

Webb McNau at the meeting at
Hamilton hall last evening said sub
stantiaIly this concerning the railroads
of Kansas:
''They are entitled to fair treatment,
they have in excess of eight thousand
miles of road in this state, their assess
ed valuation is between fifty and sixty
millions of dollars, they run into and
through nearly every county in Kan
sas, they pay their propOrtionate share
OF the state, county, township, and
school district taxes in this state, in
certain school districts in the western
part of the state, they pay in the money
to pay the running expenses in main
tanning the schools for the education
one year in three, and they one year
out of three haul our products to mar
ket, and two years out of three, they
people to keep them from suffering;
when the railroads haul the same in
excess of two hundred miles west of
Missouri river, they are donating more
to the people out there, than the state
that donates the cOal and when the
state two years ago loaned to the coun-
ties one hundred thousand dollars to
purchase seed grain to the people to
stay on their claims, again the rail-
roads came to the rescue and hauled
the same out to them free of charge.
We are in favor of recognizing the fact
that they have assisted very material
Iy in building up Kansas, and we are in
favor of treating them fairly, and pro-
pose to do So

BRYAN is WE'LL PLEASED.
The Sentiment Out in New York State
is Gratifying.

Niagara Falls, Aug. 28.-1n his SYRIA
clse speech. VIM. J. Bryan explained
his campaigning tour by remarkin that
because few of the people had enough
money this year to visit a presidential
candidate, it seemed only fair that the
candidate should go to see the people.
In pursuance of this policy Mr.. Bryan
left Buffalo by trolley this morning to
begin a two days campaign among
the smaller cities of northern New
York.
Il am more than gratified with the
demonstration of last evening. 1t Tar
surpassed anything which I had eX-
pected. / am also pleased to find so
unanimous a sentiment in favor OF the
endorsement of the action of the Chi
cago convention. From what I have
seen in New York and the sentiments
expressed by MEMBERS of the state or
ganization, I am satisfied that the state
convention will endorse the platform
as we'll as the ticket. Some of the del
egates may oppose parts of the plat
form, but it is the national platform
and viii be accepted as a whole"
During the brief stop IN Niagara, the
Bryan party were taken on a special
car of the Gorge railroad to Lewiston,

river The road is built under the cliff
on the American side and runs close by
the rapids commanding a fine view Of

The Turkish mob, armed with knives
and sticks, invaded the quarters of the

houses and tossed their Dutchered vic
tins out Of the windows. The police

ConstantinOple, Aug. 28-The riots
which have caused so much excitement
throughout COnstanunOple are appar-
emily at an end The leaders of the
mob who attacked the officers of the

OlutiOn.
Four Turkish ladies who were driving
along in a carriage were blown to pieces

NEAL DOW AGAINST SILVER
The Aged Prohibitionist Doesn't Ap-
prove of the Policy.

received here today from General Neal
Dow, the noted prohibitionist and for
mer candidate for the presidency, in
which he gives his views on the money
question is made public by the gener-
ais correspondent. The letter says:
The proposition of the Populists and
other silver men is this: That con-
silver equal in value to 100 cents in
gold; that the SO cents be cOmpulsoriIy
received as full payment for 100 cents
in gold. That, if accomplished, would
be lie, a cheat, fraud. I don't see
how an honest man can consent to
that, much less propose it. If adopted
the country would be in a panic while

SAYS HE'S NO ANARCHIST.
Judge Doster Makes a Speech to the
People of Kansas City, Kan.


Kansas City, Aug. 28.-There was a
large attendance at Huron Place last
night to hear the fusion candidates,
Frank Doster and Ed Little make
speeches.
Judge Doster, in the course Of his
remarks, replied to the assertions of
some Kansas papers that he was an
anarchist. He said: It have been
called an anarchist because I once
said that the rights of a user of a thing
were paramount to the rights of an
owner of a thing At the time I made
that remark I said distinctly that
mans right to his homestead, the tools
he uses and other things of a like na>
ture was as absolute as his right to his
own limbs.
What referred to was where a per-
son or corporation had dedicated prop
erty to the use of the people. In that
I said just what Justice Waite of the
supreme court decided many years ago.
Telegraph, telephone, railroad and
like companies dedicate their property
to the public and in such cases I am
willing to stand by my assertion.
Il used to be a Republican. 7 re-
spected the party of Lincoln. If Re-
pubIicanism was what it was once,
when it grabbed the flag thrown down
by treason and hugged it to it's barred
breast, I would be a Republican yet.
I love the party of those days, but I
have nothing but contempt for it
now"
Mr.. Little said:
They say the Republican platform
requires an acrobat to ride it. I am
not a circus rider, so got off.
"A man asked me the other day for
a dollar that was good in Europe. I
said to him, When are you going?
He answered Never That fellow
would better be hustling for a dollar
that is good here.
THE Republicans made a platform
and put Mckinley on it, but they put
Grover Cleveland in it. am not a
Cleveland Republican"
