FOR sLoNEoKEK's CANDIDACY.
SEINE of the Favorable Comments on His
Campaign for Appellate Judge.

Some of the Favorable Comments on His
Campaign for Appellate Judge.
Lawyer ]. G. Slonecker continues to
receive some highly complimentary press
notices. The Lyons Republican in call
ing attention to his candidacy for Judge
of the appellate court says: ''SIonecker
is one of the brightest. best read lawyers
at the Topeka bar and well worthy of
any preferment."
The Lawrence Journal says in this
connection: ~. g, Slonecker of Topeka,
has announced himself as a candidate
for judge of the appellate court. The
eastern division, northern department,
which includes Douglas county, will have
a change in judges this time, for the rea-
son that we have, by appointment, a
Demo-Pop man on the bench. Douglas
county has no candidate, and we under
stand Wyandotte has none. The Judge
will probably come from Topeka or
Leavenworth. So far no one has an
nounced himself from the latter place.
The Journal is inclined to look upon
the candidacy of Mr.. Elonecker with
favor. He is an excellent lawyer, a man
above reproach, and is we'll fitted for the
place. He will make an excellent Judge,
and he would receive the hearty support
of his party should he be nominated. F."

MRS. GEO. r. PECK DYING.
Mr.. Peck Passed Through TOPeka
Last Night for Sam Antonio.

Unknown to any of his friends in this
city George r. Peck, now counsel for
the Milwaukee & St. Paul arrived in To-
peka late yesterday afternoon over the
Santa Fe and went directly TO the office
of DR.. G w. Hogeboom in the Santa Fe
general Office building. At O'Clock last
night, in company with DR.. Hogeboom
he left Oh special train over the Rock
Island for San Antonio, Tex. The cause
of Mr.. Peck's. journey is the serious and
probably fatal illness of Mrs. Peck In
San Antonio.
While in Chicago, Thursday, MI Peck
received a telegram stating that sud
den change for the worse had occurred
in Mrs. Peck's condition, and asking him
to como at once. That night Mr.. Peck
left Chicago and while on the train yes
terday received another telegram saying
that Mrs. Peck was resting easier and
that her condition was possibly slightly
improved, but on his arrival in Topeka
dis patch awaited him stating that his
wife was very low and 10 make all posi-
bic haste.
On his arrival Mr. Peck Immediately
made arrangements with General Attor
ney NJ. A. Low, of the Rock Island. to
run a special from this city to San An
tonic, and the Rock Island officials
special car 200 was placed at his disposal
and an engine from Mcfarland sent for.
The engine arrived shortly after O CLOCK
and the party, consisting of Mr. Peck,
DR.. Hogeboom, w. E. Dauchy, supsrin-
tendent of maintenance and construction,
and w. r. Cannon. superintendent of
bridges and buildings of the Rock Island,
left Topeka for the south at o'clock.
The two Rock Island officials will stop at
FIT. Worth.
Misses Minnie and Ethel Peck, and
brother, Charles Peck, who have been
attending college at Galesburg, left Chi
cago last night in Mr.. Peck's private car
and passed through Topeka this after
noon over the Rock Island.
Mr.. Peck looked several years older
yesterday than he did when in Topeka
at the time of the sale of the Santa Fe.
He has but little hope that Mrs. Peck
will recover from this attack, although it
was thought that she had been gradually
improving since removing to San Anto-
Mo. Mr.. Peck's fears are shared by DR..
Hogeboom, who has been Mrs. Peck's
attending physician for years.

elite two nights before.

The Policeman Made Mistake.

On Monday evening at about 8 o'clock
Mr.. Charles o. Williams was sitting at
his residence on Preston street, be-
tween 7th and 9Th streets when an Of
ficer came up and informed him that
he had a warrant for him. Mr.. Will
liams was astounded but went with
him. Upon reaching a gas-lamp, he
read it to him and found that a man
named ] +. Miller OF south 8th street
had sworn out a warrant alleging that
Charles Williams had stolen $40 from
him.
AS this Mr. Williams did not even
know the complainant he was more
than surprised. The patrol wagon
came and into it the prisoner was
placed.
At I'd Police Station, it was evident
that something was wrong. The man
who swore out the warrant was sent
for and said that the Charles Williams
he referred to was between l5 and IL
years OF age. Mr.. Charles O. Williams
was not the one wanted. This settled
the matter. MIR. Williams returned
home much disguised.

Sunday at the Churches 6 o'clock
Funeral SermOn-Death Walks About

and Heard By Us. %

Last Sunday was little inclement
in the early morn, but about midday
the sun came forth in it's fullness.
Notwithstanding the exceeding warm
weather the churches were well at
tended.
A grand rally was witnessed at the
Moore st. Sunday School. At IL 80
the services were conducted by Rev.
ID. @. Coleman OF the Twenty second
St. Baptist Church. His text was "He
that putteth his hands to the plow and
looketh back is not fit for the king
DOM" taking as his subject "Deternii-
nation" The elder was at his best,
and exhorted his hearers to look for

After the sermon, the pastor, Rev. r.
o. johnson baptized two candidates.
Another excellent sermon was listened
to in the afternoon from the same desk
by Rev. Nelson Brown.

more in this world. The sunlight
which beamed upon it was shut out
forever. The rope was adjusted. Dep-
uSy sheriff Orange assisted. All was
ready. But there was q sound from
beneath the folds of the black-cap.
Marable spoke. He said, Farewell
each and every one."
THE FATAL LEAP.
The trigger was withdrawn by the
sheriff. the trap-door swung down
ward and hugged the wall. The body
shot down the open space To within ten
inches of the step below. There was
slight motion of the form.
1t looked as though the knot had
slipped and that he was dying from
strangulatiOn.
Ten minutes: DIR. w. f. Anderson
and DIR. j. l., White watched the ac-
tion OF the heart. 1t had not ceased
to beat Not until IS% minutes had
passed did they declare that all was
over.
And yet, when he was let down his
neck was found to be broken. The ex-
ecution had been q success. When
Marable reached the end of that rope,
he knew nothing more. His spirit
soon after took its flight to await the
final judgement, when the secrets OF
all hearts will be made manifest.
The ragged condition of his clothes
was apparent when Funeral Director
Selden who assisted in his removal and
laid him on the bed had stepped aside
There was comment at the failure to
provide him with his last suit OF
| clothes.
HAD PAID THE DEBT.
But it was it all over. His face turn
ed upward told the story that he had
complied with the laws demands, paid
the debt and his remains awaited the
realization of the wish of the living
Marable,- that they should be sent tC
North Carolina, placed beneath heI
| soil and be permitted to rest until the
sounding of the last trump?
When we photographed all that wal
left of him, little did we realize the
nature of the struggle before us, or th'
trouble to be experienced in endeav
oring TO comply with the last wish of
dying man.
i Next week, we shall deal with tn,
effort to secure the body from tn
Medical College, the arrest, the dis
missal of the case in the Police Cour
and the laying away OF Marable in hi
final resting place. The body in bar
rel will be one of the striking picture
which will interest our readers.

ParsOn spoke jocularly of the recent

most complimentary manner of Mr..

not stagger and seemed to be consci-
Gus of what he was doing.
Later in the afternoon he went to
the drugstore of Messrs. e. P. Reeve

anum.
Upon it's being given him, he sat at
the counter, and placing the vial to his
lips deliberately drank the contents.
The clerk, Mr.. HeaLon tried to get him

do so, and rushed from the store.
The police authorities were notified

and within an hour and half he was
