HIS GIRL WAS FICKLE.
So ResinEer Followed Her and was
Arrested For 1t Last Night.


II. E. Resinger, who lives at Hoyt, is
a very miserable young man. He was
arrested by the police last evening for
trying to speak to Miss Katie Bricker
whom he had fondly hoped to wed. Miss
Bricker has evidently changed her mind
about it
Resinger says he was engaged to her
in the days gone by and that he expected
to marry her. She lives in North To-
peka.
Recently he met her on the street and
she did not see him, although he is GER
tain the light was good, and that his en-
deavors to attract her attention were GER
tainly sufficient. This stung him TO the
quick, and he wrote her letter about it,
and upbraided her in no uncertain terms
for her heartless conduct Katie did not
answer the letter.
Then Resinger made up his mind he
would see about it, and began trying to
speak TO her every time he saw her. This
irritated Katie's brother, Archie, and he
complained to the police about it.
Last evening Miss Bricker appeared
on the street and Resinger took his
aching heart in his hand and followed
her. Officer PARCELS followed Resinger
and arrested him.
Resinger is a we'll appearing and we'll
dressed young farmer who appears to
have a great many friends in North To-
peka who speak very we'll of him.
He was very mad this morning over
the treatment he claims to have received
at the station. He says he was locked
up for three hours and not allowed an
opportunity to give bond. ]. H. FOUGHT
finally put up his check for the young
mans appearance and he will be tried
this afternoon

LITTLE MIKE IS DEAD.
A Pet of the Rossington Household Given
u Handsome Funeral.

Handsome Funeral.
There was a quiet little funeral at the
homo of W. Fl. Rossington this morning
Mike, the beautiful pug dog belonging
to Miss Theresa Rossington, died last
night, and he was buried this morning
with all the honors belonging to dog of
his station.
In down town undertaking estab-
lishment this morning, on a little table,
were the mortal remains of poor Mike.
The undertaken was busy trimming
little white casket First he put in the
usual soft padding and at the head
nice soft pillow. Then a border of
wide lace was fastened around the interior
to give the casket finished appearance.
In the center of the lid was the silver
plate upon which were the words sour
Darling" while each of the four silver
handles bore the same loving inscription
just under a small figure of a sleeping
lamb.
When the casket was ready a bow of
blue and white ribbon was tied around
the dogs neck and tender hands lifted
him gently into the casket. He rested
on his face in the position in which we'll
bred dogs usually sleep. Then the lid
of the coffin was screwed down and the
body of poor Mike was taken to the Ros-
sington household.
In grave prepared LOT MIN IN the
back yard the coffin was deposited and
poor Mike was left to await the resurrec-
ton day of his kind.
Mikes death was due to typhoid fever.
One night about week ago he awaked
the family by distressed barking. Every
thing posaible was done for him, but the
family got no more sleep that night. In
the morning a veterinary surgeon was
summoned and he thought it best to re-
NOVA the animal In his office For n
week all that human skill could do was
done but Nike continued to grow worse
and last night he dragged his wasted
body into a corner and died.

A BLOOMER GIRL RAVES.
Lectures on Silver and Hits Police
man in the Eve.

~
New York, Aug. 1S.-A rather good
looking young woman, with blonde hair
and wearing a blue cap, white silk
shirt waist. a divided skirt over bloom
ers and black silk stockings, stood on
the stOop of No. 1O4 West Twenty
ninth street shortly after IL o'clock last
night. Her hands were covered with
diamonds A large crowd had gather
ed in front of the place.
Il am Miss Emo Clayton, the original
boomer girl and soubrette from New
Orleans!" shouted the girl.
''Hurrahl" yelled the crowd. "Give
US some more!''
You talk about free silver and 16 to
l." she continued. "I am willing to
buy all the silver dollars you can
bring along at the rate of so cents
apiece
You had better keep quiet there -
interrupted Policeman Oates, of the
West Thirtieth street station.
Go away, you stiff" said the girl;
IT can lick any New York policeman
That's the stuff" shouted a small
boy.
Now you had better''-said the blue
coat. He got no further. Miss Clay
ton struck him squarely in the eye.
Then Oates arrested the bloomer. girl
At the station house she said she had
a pull, and that she would have the
policeman broke. She was locked up
and will have to explain matters in
the Jefferson Market police court.

TRAMPS STOP A WEDDING.
Drive Out Guests, Eat the Supper
and Steal the License.

Hicksville. O.. Aug. 1s.-Twenty
guests were assembled at the home of
Jasper NewcOmb last night to witness
the marriage of Miss Hattie Newcomb
to G. L. Rider.
Just before the ceremony was to take
place the house was entered by about
a dozen tramps, who at the point of re-
volvers drove the guests into the milk
house, and while two stood guard the
remainder partOok of a hearty meal
which was awaiting the guests. All
the silverware in the house was taken,
along with some clothing, including a
coat belonging to Mr.. Newcomb, in
which was the marriage license.
After ransacking the house and de-
vouring everything in sight they de-
parted for the woods. The neighbor-
hood was at once aroused and three of
the culprits have been captured. The
ceremony was postponed until this
evening and passed off quietly.

fastened Death.
A NOTABLE CAREER.
Was Blaine's Relative Friend
and Literary Executor.
Sne Was Delightful as CONVEX
satfOnaIist and Writer.

Hamilton, Mass, Aug. 1s.-Afiss Abb
gail Dodge (better known as Gail
Hamilton,") died last evening at her
home. She has been i'll for some time
and Sunday morning, while sitting at
table, Miss Dodge sustained a stroke
of paralysis. She fell from her chair
and was picked up unconscious and re-
NAMED so thereafter. The serious turn
of her illness was not made public I'M
til yesterday morning, when DR.. Thay-
er of Salem was hastily summoned by
the report that Miss Dodge was dying.
Miss Dodge had a similar shock while
in Washington about a year ago.
Mrs. Augusta Dodge and other rela-
tives were at the bedside when the end
came.
Too much work in mailing her last
book, 1.-The Valley of Death during
the hot weather broke her strength.
Miss Mary Abigail Dodge, writer,
biographer and controversialist, was
native of the town in which she died,
having been born in 1880. At the age
of 10 years she went to DR.. Clarke's
private school in Cambridge. She was
graduated from Ipswich academy at
the age of 20. In 1851 she went to Hart
ford as assistant in the Hartford high
school She refused to take the custo-
mary examination but was given the
position without doing so. She was al
so instructor in physical science in this
school for several years and was sub
seuuently governess in the family of
DR.. Gamiliel Bailey, who was then the
editor of the National Era, to which
paper she became a contributor.
In 1865-67 she was one of the editors
of Our Young Folks" a magazine for
children published in Boston. From
1870 until a little over a year ago she
had lived the most of the time with her
cousin, Mrs. James G. Blaine, in WASH
ington. In intercourse with the family
she was led into a very close friendship
with Mr.. Blaine and at his death she
became his literary executor, being in
possession of all his papers and docu-
ments of value as his authorized biog-
rapher. She was engaged, as her
health would permit, on Mr.. Blaines
biography from the time of his death
until her illness and it is thought the
work was instrumental in her death.
Her strength had never rallied after
that illness so she felt unable to re-
sumo active work and she was for
weeks unable to see even intimate
friends but during that time she had
been able to drive about town and to
entertain in her old delightful manner
the friends who have called upon her.
Her literary work during this time has
been fragmentary more as a diversion,
or when some current event had spec
tally attracted her interest.
Gail Hamilton was a frequent con-
tributor to prominent magazines and
her published works, written in witty
and aggressive style. consist largely OF
selections from her contributions.
Her books include: Country Living
and Country Thinking Gala Days
New Atmosphere and Stumbling

POPULISTS FOR PINGREE.
He is Republican but His Princi-
pies Suit Them.

Detroit, Aug. 1S.-MayOr Pingree. who
is now the Republican nominee for gov
ernor in this state, it seems is likely to
combine nearly all the voting oopula-
ton.
It has been learned that the POM
lists, who have twice invited Mayor
Pingree to be their candidate for gov
ernor, are dissatisfied with the proposi-
ton for fusion of Democrats and Popu-
lists and viii refuse to go into the con-
ventton unless they are assured that
the nomination for governor will be IeFf
blank and the ticket go out with no
nominee against Pingree. They argue
that Pingree is so strong with the Ia
boring classes and the farmers that the
success OF free silver would be endan-
gered by putting any one against him,
as thousands Of voters desire his Sue
cess more than anything else, and
might not stop to check off Mckinley
and Hobart in their anxiety to vote for
MIN, and thus cast straight Republi-
can ballot. They hold that the De-
mocrecy will lose nothing by leaving
the head of the ticket blank, as in the
combination they can get more than by
standing alone for straight ticket
While the agreement was made only
a few days ago there are signs OF dis
affection, and the Populists have as
sumed a belligerent attitude and say
that unless their wishes are acceded to
they viii indorse Pingree out and out
and put up a separate set of electors
for president.
If the combination of the free silver
men. Populists, Prohibitionists and
Democrats can be made to hold, with
the blank space at the head of the
ticket the gold standard men have in
Michigan a hard battle to wage.
