WHILE THERE HIS WIFE DIED
BRooDED OVER HIS INABILITY TO

Important Document in the County
COmmIsEIOnershipC Contest Miss
inE-OId Resident Dead
GutshaII Arrested IN
Charge Insanity.

George Proctor, a well known resident of
RosedaIe, has been peculiarly unfortunate
during the past year. In April he was sent
TO the state insane asylum. His insanity
was of violent nature and was caused by
brooding over his inability to find work
and provide for his family, which consist
ed Of his wife and one little child.
short time after his confinement in the
asylum his wife died. His property was
taken in charge by his father-in-law, who
also cared for his infant child. The latter
part of November Proctor was released
from the asylum. his mind having been
fully restored He came direct to this city
TO see his wife and babe, but was dismayed
TO learn that his wife had died during his
stay in the asylum.
Yesterday Proctor called at the court
house to pay the taxes on some of his
property. After transacting his business
with the county treasurer, he visited Sher-
iff Longfellow, who had taken him to the
asylum. Proctor said he had vivid recol-
lection of all his violent acts. and recount
ed them to the sheriff.
After finishing his visit with Sheriff Long
fellow he called on Probate Judge Angle
and spent a half hour. He remembered a
portion of his trial, but the judge recalled
several incidents that he had no recollec-
ton of. Proctor is now of a perfectly sound
mind, and feels the loss of his wife very
keenly

PHILOSOPHICAL CRUSADE.
Address by Burcham Harding, Lect-
urer for the Society In
America.

Last night Burcham Harding, lecturer
for the Theosophical Society in America,
spoke in the society's hall. Masonic build
ing, 912 Walnut street. His subject was.
THE Theosophical Crusade Around the
World" Another lecture will be delivered
tonight at s o'clock, at the same place, on
THE Purpose of Theosophy." Admission
is free. Mr.. Harding said in part:
THE day of materialism IS fast passing.
The Theosophical Society is endeavoc-
ing to restore a knowledge o. the
real, the spiritual side of nature and man,
to correlate the spiritual and the natural
worlds, for each has its place and relation
to the other as cause and effect. If the
body and its limbs learn to follow the guild
ance of its spiritual inhabitant perfect har-
mony reigns. Similarly, if this world can
be prepared in a fitting way, the masters,
the divine rulers may once more return to
live among us, bringing an ERA of wisdom,
of peace and the highest felicity. The the
osophical crusade is preparing the world
for this happier era. 1t carries message
of unity and brotherhood.
Two new agents have now come for
ward to found school of learning for the
purpose of restoring to the world a knowl-
edge of the nature of the soul and the
methods of its higher evolution, and for
the more complete and systematic training
of neophyteS qualified by actual attainment
for advancement into the greater mys-
teries' Those obtaining this deeper knowl-
edge will become teachers and leaders of
the human race, consecrated to it's service.
The symbols and ceremonies of Freema-
sonry were originally derived from the
more ancient mysteries as all who have
Travelled the burning sands know. The
ritual and ceremonies. signs and passwords
have been preserved with great fidelity
but the real key has long been lost, wait
ing for future generations to discover it.
True Masonry and ancient wisdom are
virtually the same. Each is founded on
the brotherhood of man. The lost key and
the true philosophy can be found and will
be placed within reach of all those who
unselfshly desire and work for their pos
session. Masonry by gylph and ceremony
dramatically represents the progress of the
neophyte in the degree of his initiation. 1t
is only by the union of the speculative and
the operative, or the philosophical and the
symbolic or actual, that the real meaning
and intent of either can be realized. the
Masters Word recovered, and the ancient
glory be restored. Such a result has now
become possible under cyclic law.
THE theosophical crusade is thus de-
signed to carry to all races the message
of brotherhood and to lay the foundations
for bringing to the world a knowledge of
divine wisdom, out of which must grow
peace. happiness. contentment and a new
era of enlightenment for discouraged hu-
manity.'

THE POULTRY SHOW CLOSES.
THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBIT WAS A
GRATIFYING SUCCESS.
Management to BE Congratulated on
the Result of Its Untiring Efforts
Exhibitors Were Pleased
With Their Treatment.

The third annual exhibit of fine poultry
under the auspices of the Midcontinental
Poultry Association. which has been in
progress for eight days at 1221-3 Main
street, closed last evening. 1t has been
successful and pleasant show. one that has
brought to the city the largest and finest
lot of high bred poultry ever seen at one
place in the West. If not in the entire
country.
There has been an increased attendance
over other years, there has been mani
Tested a greater public interest in the ex-
hibits than was seen at former shows and
a much larger number OF local and West
ern fanciers were on hand with their birds.
The fanciers from abroad met with sharp
er competition. the classes were better
filled and the honors of the show were
the more valuable, there was noticeable
increase in the demand for birds from
buyers and the sales made at the show
were largely in excess of the other shows.
1t has combined the merit of pleasure to
the visitors and profit to the fanciers, a
combination that can hardly fail to be of
great advantage to the association in the
future
year were well pleased and in almost every
case stated to Secretary Slutz they would
be on hand for the next show. In addition
there are many fanciers rot at the show
who have sent in advance notice of their
intention to come next year with chickens
for exhibition. These things lead the man
ayers to believe the next show will he
very much larger than any yet held, and
extra efforts will he made to have the
INV list
the fanciers from all portions of the coun-
try. This will be done with sweepstake
purses for the various classes and cash
specials for individual chickens.
The managers are highly pleased over
the many kind words spoken by prominent
citizens Of the show and are gratified over
the deeper public interest shown. The ed
ucational effect of the shows has been
to awaken interest and bring out better
attendance.

THE NEWS AT LEAVENWORTH.
The Frank p. Adams Case
SetfIed-MisceIIaneo

James McJudkin, proprietor of the Wash
ington house, corner of Fourth and Seneca
streets, was robbed of $55 in his own house
at the point of a revolver at l o'clock yes
terday morning. Two colored persons COM
mitted the robbery. The police believe that
at least one of the robbers was a woman,
clad in male attire.
Mr. Judkin fell asleep in the office of the
Washington house, and was awakened by
some movement in his trousers pocket.
When he opened his eyes he was looking
down the muzzle of very large revolver,
held in the hand of colored man, who
commanded him to keep still at the peril
of his life. At the same time another col
ored man and confederate was coolly pull
ing his purse, which contained $50, from his
pocket.
When the robbers withdrew they told
their victim he would be shot down If he
made the least outcry or an attempt to
step outside his door. Mr.. McJudkin was
thoroughly intimidated and did not make
the robbery known until daylight. The
police have arrested and jailed Lilly
White, who has half a dozen aliases, on
suspicion. She is a notorious colored wom-
an The officers are confident that if this
black White woman did not assist in the
robbery, she at least knows all about 1t.

Frank p. Adams Again.

Frank p. Adams. the merchant from Ad-
amsviIle. Tenn, who gained so much noto-
riety here when he alleged that his divorced
wife and her brother, w. H. Houston, at
tempted to kill him by administering poi
son, and subsequently robbed him of sew
eral hundred dollars, is now a citizen and
business man of Leavenworth. His
hrother-in-law, Houston, was committed to
Jail to answer to the charge of robbery.
and Adams himself. who was about to
leave the city, was also jailed, to be held
as a witness against Houston. Both men
tried to give bonds and both failed.
Wishing to get his freedom, Adams re-
fused to prosecute Houston, and the pair
were discharged from custody. Yesterday
Adams became the proprietor of the Hous-
ton house, his brother-in-law having given
him his interest therein to make good the
money that the former lost while in the
place. Adams and his daughter, Myrtle.
will remain in this city. therefore, and
operate this house, which has attained
such notoriety and whicn is considered
decidedly shady place by the police.
Houston. his wife and the divorced wife
of Adams WILL it is said, go to some other
place to reside in the near future.
