Camp MarInaduke
BUTLER, MARCH 16, 1896

CoMRADEs:-.A circular letter issued
from District Hd Or. by the Com
manding General calls the attention
of all the members of the {. G. V.
Association of Missouri to the obi
cations we are under to the Confed
crate Home at Higginsville, Mo. We
haye those in that home who can
look no where else but to the friends
of the 'Lost Cause" for interest,
sympathy and aid for them in their
misfortune. 1t has been the custom
for several years at our spring elec-
tions to place contribution box at
each precinct, where those who may
feel disposed to this worthy cause
could do SO, aud in this way some
help has been secured Tie Com
mandjng General now suggests that
committeeman be now secured who,
on the day of the election, will spend
the day at the polls and solicit aid
for the support of that institution
during the coming year
Gen. Shelby says: This Home
must be sustained and the burden
mainly and properly rests upon you
You proved your courage and hero
ism during the war, now prove your
generosity and kindly feeling by
providing for those who fought and
suffered with you
Remember, Comrades, that there
will be meeting of the Camp on
the 2Sth of March at which time we
hope to see all of our members.
when this and other important mat
ters will be attended to.

FRANK MAPES SHOT HIMSELF.
The Postmaster Of kansaS CITY, Kan.
Was Short in His Accounts aad
Feared Arrest.

Feared Arrest.
Kansas City, Kan, March Is. To
escape arrest for embezzlement Of
government funds, Frank Mapes,
postmaster for this city, committed
suicide this morning in lis own fam
lily residence.
On Thursday last two postoffice
inspectors arrived here and began
an investigation of the Office. Upon
their arrival. Mapes showed no I'm.
easiness, but as they pursued their
investigation through Friday and
Saturday, he became nervous and
depressed in spirits The inspec
tors finished their work last night,
and their investigation proved the
postmaster to be an embezzler from
the general fund to the amount of,
probably, $4,000. Mapes uadoubt
edly knew the condition of his trust,
and it il evident that he feared ar
rest to day or to morrow.
He decided upon death. His man
ner of ending his life was sensation
al in the extreme. At breakfast he
complained of being i'll aud retired
to his room. Soon afterwards he
had his wife send for three men who
had been friends of long standing
When these men arrived at the
house, Mrs Mapes met them at the
door. No sooner had she swung
open the door than a pistol shot
rang through the house. Mrs.
Mapes and the three men ran to the
postmaster's room. They found him
in the agonies of death He had
blown out his brains and died almost
instantly.
Mr.. Mapes was appointed post
master by President Cleveland three
years ago. He had long been prom
inent in local and Kansas politics.
He was under $4,000 bond to the
government, with local business men
as sureties. He belonged to the
Knights of Templar and Elks. His
family is provided for by $4,000
insurance which be carried
Mapes left an interesting family
of charming wife and two bright
children, Roy, aged 13, and Nettie,
aged IL. Both the children were
born in Kansas City, Kan. Mapes
was one of the most respected men
of the city, and one OF the oldest res
idents, having moved here in 1865,
when he was years old. He was
twice appointed postmaster by
President Cleveland.
