a corner Of the veil which screens
the inner life Of royalty from the com
mon gaze was raised the other day by
Mr.. Rentoul, II. p, at \ meeting OF la
dies IN support OF the women's suffrage
movement, says the Westminster Ga
zetts. MIR. Rentoul said his idea had
always been that the queen was a
merely ornamental sort Of parsonage,
who signed such documents as were
submitted by her ministers, and was
restrained from doing any harm by
constitutional safeguards. He had,
however, recently made the acquaint-
ance Of two lords in waiting, who have
been in attendance on her majesty for
many years. and the information he
had obtained from this source had COM
pletely altered his views as to the in
fuence exercised by the queen in mat
tors of domestic and foreign policy.
BE had learned that she is proficient in
eleven European languages, and that
she has during the last four or five
years completely mastered Hindus-
lance, In which she converses with
great correctness and finency with any
Of her Indian subjects who are pre-
scented At court. Her majesty frequent
" writes to every important sovereign
in Europe, and her influence on the
side Of peace is said to have been very
beneficial, her knowledge of foreign af-
fairs being most intimate and accurate.
At several critical stages in the rela-
tions between European nations the
queens personal influence has been sue
cessfully exerted to prevent war. 1t is
even alleged in court circles that her
majesty would have Oeen able to pre-
vent the Franco-P -Prussian war if
Emperor Louis Napoleon had not pre-
cipitated hostilities on the Rhine be-
fore any opportunity was afforded for
mediation.

The democrats Of the county are
awakening from their slumbers
and are now effecting strong or
ganization. Much enthusiasm is
being everywhere manifested. The
unsavory record Of the last repub-
lican legislature and the extravs.
gances Of the county officials have
convinced them that the people
demand a change. The republic
cans are now upon the defensive,
with many very weak places to
defend. The democrats have a fair
chance to win, and their success is
probable if the proper efforts are
vigorously made.

The F0wlers Dis0wned.

The st. Joseph News Of Monday
contains the following information
concerning the Fowlers, which will be
Of interest to our readers:
The remains OF S. j. Fowler and his
wife, whose tragic suicide and murder
created one Of the greatest sensations
OF the year in st. Joseph, still lie at
Sidenfaden's undertaking rooms await
ing orders for burial.
1t now appears that the Fowlers are
disowned by their relatives, even in
death. Responses from the dead
woman's father and brother.in-law,
in answer to kilograms sent by order
of the coroner, are to the effect that
they propose to have nothing to do
with the case.
Fowler's father has been dead sew
eral years. His mother is at present
visiting son in Oklahoma, who lives
about thirty miles from any telegraph
office. A dispatch was sent to her
Saturday, but it is as yet unanswered.
Other relatives of Fowler live on
farms in Iowa, near Knowlton, but
nothing has been heard from them.
An aunt Of the dead man is a resident
of Sumner county, Kan, aud she, too,

out one day not long ago when Fow.
Ter went home he found that his wife
had again fled, leaving the children
behind this time. Fowler soon heard
OF the truant in this city and it was
Tor the purpose of finding her that he
came here with his boys. At the time
ne started from Atchison to look for
his wife in st. Joseph, he took his
sons with him in his covered wagon
and sent the girls-One aged sixteen
years. and the other baby less than
2 years Old-to relatives at Kellerton,
Iowa, where the FOwler's lived prior
to their removal to Oklahoma. The
tWC daughters are in Kellerton now,
while the little boys are here among
strangers.
Brains were oozing from the terri
BILE wound in his right temple when
he was carried in and laid on a table
where lot of blankets were spread.
ln a few moments he was attended by
Drs. Davis and Long, who said atonce
that there was no possibility OF recov-
cry. Fowler has been unable to speak
since he shot himself, and it is more
than likely that he will never utter
another word.
Soon after Fowler was carried into
the police station the covered wagon
In which ne has been travelling, and
in which his two little boys were rid
Ing, was driven up to the station by a
policeman. The children were shiv.
ering with cold and fright, and for a
time were unable to say a word, or
answer any questions. The children
begged plteously to be sent to their
sister. They will be held at the DO.
lice station until she can be heard
from, or some Of their relatives call
for them.
Since Mrs. Fowler came to st. 10.
seph her boarding place has been kept
a secret. 1t was found that she had
been receiving mail at the general
delivery OF the postofflce, but could
not be definitely located. Since Fow-
Ter came here three or four days ago,
he made one trip to Kansas City, be-
ing under the impression that his
wife had possibly gone back there.
While In Kansas City he was arrested
for carrying concealed weapons. he
paid his fine and returned to st. Jo-
seph. The Kansas City trip was made
on the train, the boys remaining at
the camp south Of the city to care for
the horses and wagon.

VOICE: We wish to make public
through the VOICE aD incident that
occurred on street corner here few
days ago, which goes to show in whose
hand the red rag is held, and who
breathes the spirit OF anarchist. A
group Of Republicans provoked pO.
litical discussion with Democrat
who was passing by. They extolled
the brilliancy Of mind and good quail
titles Of the goldocrats who were nom.
mated at indianapolis, in a manner
that would leave one In doubt which
Of the two gold tickets they were in
tending to vote. They sneered and
vilified the Democratic party and its
candidates, when one Of the group, a
young man, who imagines that he is
gifted with extraordinary brain pow
ers, and that he possesses vast lore,
and that constitutional law In the
grasp Of his mind is merely a primer,
said that the Chicago platform was
anarchistic. This Of course, was not
original with him. He had heard
some one else say so; perhaps Aerr
Most. He then charged that Senator
Leedy and Judge Doster were anar-
chists and ought to be shot down, and
he was ready to join mob 10 hang
them. Great bitterness Of feeling was
manifested while making these
threats. Now this young mans name
is on the roll Of church book aud he
stands tall in the class at love feast,
sings in the choir service on Sunday
and praYs long and LOUD In the mid.
week prayer meetings; and is ready to
join a mob to shoot down or hang law
abiding citizens.
OH in the name Of christianity,
what withering blight such hypo-
critics are to the church, and how dis
creditable such viliflers are to well
disposed Republicans. We would ask
what laws of Kansas are Mr.. Leedy
and Judge DOster violating, and are
they in conspiracy to distroy prop
erty or to take the life Of their fellow
men? How this charge and cry Of an-

affairs and IL is expected that replies
Of some kind will be elected. Roy

Of the dead couple, left over the
Burlington route at 1910 o'clock this
morning for KellertOn, Iowa, where
their two sisters are now temporarily
staying at the home OF Robert Allen,
the husband Of Mrs, FOwlers sister,.
Allen is one Of the relatives who de-
clined by wire to have anything to do
with the case, and it is regarded by
the police as very doubtful il the
orphans will be accorded a welcome
when they arrive at Kellerton.
The little fellows are thoroughly i'm

and even in the face of the appalling
disaster they have suffered they have
faith in their ability to get along in
the world, Their only object iu 60

morning to a reporter for The Daily
News, is to have conference with
their sister who is the eldest Of the
four children.

The boys have very little money,
and their transportation to KellertOn
was procured from the mayor. The
boys have made their home at the
the Central Police Station since they
were taken there the day Of the muir

shown every possible kindness by the
officers. The wagon and team that
was brought to st. Joseph by Fowler
when he was searching for his ruu-
away wife, has been turned over to
the public administrator, who is hold
