Man.


Delta r. Kobi, wife Of Charles Kobi
of Silver Lake is OF unsound mind. Her
reason was dethroned a little over a
year ago by the sight of drunken man
at nisht as he reeled past her and her
husband on the country road near Ross
Vile
Her malady assumed most peculiar
form. She is seized with the spells sew
eral times day and they last from
ten minutes to Two hours in duration
Her muscles contract, she stares va
cantly into space, and then she loses
consciousness entirely.
Until recently she has been a large,
heshy woman, but now her form is With
cred and shrunken. Her condition is
pitiable. During the time her spells"
are absent she is rational. But with
out moments notice She is seized
with the commissions and IS helpless
Last evening q jury was sworn by
Probate Judge J. @. Wood to try the
case. On account of her condition the
defendant was not brought into the
court room. but after the taking Of the
evidence the jury went to the county
Jail and saw her. Her husband, Charles
Kobi who is a labOrer, was put upon
the witness stand. He stated that he
had noticed signs of insanity in his
wife for the past year
She seems TO be caught with cramps,
and her muscles draw up and twist,
he said.
Has she had these spells often?"
Yes quite often Several times I
have been al home. and when l would
see them coming on would catch
her and lay her on the bed
what has she done within the past
year to make you think she was of I'M
sound mind?"
She threatened to kill me. She
would spring at me"
state about her bodily condition.
well, she used to be heshy, but since
about a year ago she has become very
thin.
Now state what you consider was
the cause of her becoming insane"
All right When we moved from
Abilene. when we had gotten to a place
near Rossville, a drunken man came
along the road and ran against one Of
my horses He swore that he was
going to tear up things, and wife hurt
herself in getting away. She was badly
frightened. Since then she has been
out of her head, and she has had these
attacks very often
Mr. Kobis main statement was cor
roborated by two other witnesses. The
Jury then went to the cell room at the
county iail to look at Mrs. KObl She
way lying stretched out on a cot and
she seemed rational She had had an
attack in the morning and was yet
weak from the effects of it. After see
ing her the jury brought in verdict OF
insanity Today Mrs Kobi. once
large. strong. healthy woman. was
taken to the Topeka insane asylum, a
physical and mental wreck.

GROWERS MAIL AWHEEL.

White House Route.

Washington, Dec 3O.-There is only
one department of the government at
the national capital where a bicycle is
supported by Uncle Sam for the use of
a messenger, and that is a the White
House For many years the private
mail pouch of the executive mansion
has been carefully guarded by a colored
equestrian named Edgar, and his horse
has always stood ready saddled in a stall
under the White House conservatory.
With the march of progress however.
the bicycle has well nigh superseded
the horse and dusky Edgar like Othel-

as a mounted messenger to the presi-

With a view of facilitating the deliv-
cry of mail matter and newspapers at

work and a white wheelman named
Marshall is now the courier of President
and Mrs. Cleveland. His duties con-

which formerly nestled behind the sad
die of the cOlored hOTseman Edgar
There has been a vast improvement
in the service in consequence Of this
new arrangement and there are more

JEWELERS Embarrassed.
Receiver Asked for a Large Cincinnati
Firm.

Cincinnati, Dec. 3O.-A petition was
filed last evening by Frank and Her
man Duhme, members of the well
known firm of Duhme & Co, jewelers.,
for a dissolution and a receiver for the
firm. They say they are owners of
more than One-ffth of all the paid-up
stock of the company; that it is insol-
vent and unable to meet maturing
debts. and has allowed its paper to go
to protest; that it has hypothetical
valuable assets from its stock to Dor
row funds to meet current expenses;
that it is unable to pay salaries of OPP
eratives and employees, to whom it is
now indebted in large amounts.
hi Itgisho2uRr:
They say that the business has been
losing every year since its organization
as a joint stock company, and that it
dec4ared a dividend of ~ per cent in
February. 1896, to deceive the stock
holders, when there were no earnings
out of which TO pay it, and when the
minority discovered the credit on the
books discharged the credit previously
given from its books. They believe a
dissolution will be for the benefit of the
stockholders
The company organized in 1893 with
authority to issue S100. 900 preferred and
100000 common stock About $50, 600
of the former and $3.50, coo of the latter
were issued. The assets and liabilities
are not known

Comptroller Eckels Is Not Scar
ed By Bank Failures.
Says There Is No Reason For
Apprehension.
BANKS IN GOOD FIX
General Conditions Ofthe Banks
Is First Rate.
Failures Were Almost All Due
to Local Causes.

Washington, Dec 2O.-Comptroller
Eckels says he feels no apprehension
over the bank failures which have oc-
CURED of late. Two more failures, the
Commercial National bank of Roanoke,
Va, and the Columbia National Of
Minneapolis We're added to the list
yesterday. They are comparatively
small institutions, however, and under
ordinary circumstances their failure, it
is said, would attract only passing at
tention- Mr.. Eckels when asked today
by q. reporter of the Associated Press as
to the general banking situation said;
of course bank failures are more or
less disQuieting but those which have
occurred recently have little or no gem
eral significance attached to them. They
were due largely to local causes, Who'll
" unconnected with the general cOndf-
ton Of banks throughout the country
at large The case of the Atlas bank
was not a failure at all, but was a mere
voluntary liquidation, every depOsitor
being paid in full. The two failures
yesterday are of minor Importance, in
each case the banks capital being only
100000
AS against these few failures. based
on local causes, the general condition
of the banks is excellent The reports
received under the last call. that of De
cember II, are uniformly favorable and
show an average reserve held of con
siderably above the 25 per cent requir-
ed by the law. one of the last reports,
that of the Brooklyn banks, shows an
age-reserve held to be 1902 per
cent and most of the reports run five
or ten per cent above the legal require
ments- In each case, too, the asets in
detail make an entirely satisfactory
ties.
ON the whole it is evident that the
n@tis. al banks today are as stable as
they ever were, and the sporadic fail
ure Of bank here and there through
defects peculiar to the falling bank is
of small Importance. wholly without
general significance
I am advised from MINNEAPOLIS that
the failure there has Occasioned no
disturbance beyond the institution con
cerned ."

DR.. HarlandsOn says the reason IS be-

PENSION REFORMS.
Two Radical Changes Have Been
Made in Pension Procedure.

Washington, D. G. Dec. so-Two rad
zeal changes in the procedure of the
pension office have been made All
claims for increase, save in extraordin-
airy cases, hereafter will be sent direct
to the medical division of the bureau
without having to be passed upon by
the board of review, as has been Gus
tOmary for years
Another step in the simplifcation and
quicker adjudication Of claims is that
hereafter there viii be no necessity for
cases before the board of review being
passed upon by three or four examiners
This has been a long continued practice,
but Commissioner Murphy has fixed
the number of the examiners who must
review each claim
Both new rules are in line with a de-
cisiOn to abolish useless detail in pen

FRUIT IN DANGER.
The Dreaded San Jose Scale Begins
Ravages.

Sandusky, Dec. S0.-At Catawba is
land yesterday a meeting Of the peach
growers of this vicinity was held to
devise ways and means, if possible, to
combat a plague taht threatens the
destruction Of orchards of all kinds
herea bouts
a few days ago n. A. Hadden. one of
the largest fruit growers in this dis
trict, discovered a peculiar scaly condi-
ton into which some of his trees were
growing. The disease, for such he
considered it, baffied his knowledge of
such affairs, and he cut a number of
branches and sent them to Prof. Web
ster at the state agricultural expert
ment station at Wooster. That gentle
man pronounced the pest the dreaded
San jose scale, the most dangerous and
destructive plague to which trees are
subject.
Prof. Webster visited the peninsula
vicinity and found that the disease had
already taken hold of more trees than
those on N. A. Hadden's fruit farm
The immense orchard of J. p. Cangney
has also been besieged by the dreaded
scale and the loss so far to the PENN
sula growers will, it is estimated, reach
