SUICIDE TO AVOID TRIAL
J. +. Herman, Lawyer and Editor of
Oisthe, Takes Poison.

OIsthe, Takes Poison.
OLATHE, Kan, Nov. 16.-J. f. Her
man, for more than fifteen years an
attorney of this city, who was to have
been tried in Lawrence to-day on the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses, killed himself by taking
car bolic acid about o'clock this
morning.
Herman came from Carlisle, Pa,
over fifteen years ago and about ten
years ago he was married to Miss Kate
Scallon, a teacher at the institution
for the deaf and dumb here. He was
until recently u Sunday school super
intendent. During the years he was
an enthusiastic Sunday school worker
he played poker unknown TO his
thurch and family. He was detected
In many crooked financial transac-
tions, but not until his arrest about
six months ago by Mrs. NJ G.. b. Still
well of Lawrence, Kan, charged with
obtaining s., 900 under false pretenses,
was it generally known that he had
lost all at cards and high living.
Herman was president of the South
eastern Kansas Editorial associate
but last week he sold his paper, the
Olathe Weekly Herald. He was a
member in good standing OF the An
Client order Of United Workmen aud
Modern Woodmen. No arrangements
will be made for his funeral until the
arrival OF his father or brother from
Pennsylvania.

MILLIONAIRE KETChAM
DIES SUDDENLY.
HAD RECENTLY MARRIED
Ills widow Mrs. walkup of Emporia,
Kan. She Became Mrs. waIkup at
1B and at II Was tried for Muir
dering Her Husband and
Acquitted - Her Career
Since That Time.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10. The post mortem
examination held by DR. f. T. Hall of
the coroners office yesterday on the
body OF John b. Ketcham, the million
aire banker, who died suddenly Sun
lay, revealed the fact that death was
due to chronic alcoholism, no trace of
poison being found. An inquest will
be held by the coroner day at No.
3421 Indiana avenue, where Mr..
Ketcham died, and Il IS probable that
the verdict will entirely remove the
cloud from the young and beautiful
widow, who was married TO Mr..
Ketcham September IA, in Milwaukee,
and who by the provisions of his will
becomes heir TO his estate.
The claim of Mrs Ketcham, who
went under the name OF Mrs Mabel
Estelle Wallace, that she was the
widow of the dead clubmAn brought
to light her romantic history.
Mrs Walkup, or Wallace, claim
that she was married to him in Mil
vaukee, September "a by a Methodist
minister The latter's name she does
not remember, but says he can be
easily found, and her claims TO Mr..
lKetcham's estate of $500, 600 estab-
lished
Mrs. Wallace was the widow of
James r. Walkup, former mayor of
Emporia, Kan, and wealthy. When
he died in 1885 under somewhat
strange circumstances his youthful
bride was arrested and tried for muir
dering him, but she was freed. She
married him when she was only 10
years old, although he was almost 80.
She was a widow at II. To avoid
unpleasant notoriety she assumed
the name OF Wallace She came
TO Chicago after she had spent consid-
,rable money travelling in Europe and
purchased the residence at 3142 Indi-
ana avenue, which she furnished in
splendid style. OF late she has been
seen several times driving in company
with Mr.. Ketcham, whose divorce lit
legation with the second Mrs. Ketch.
am, the Toledo society leader, was a
sensation a few months ago
Mrs Wallace, or Ketcham, declares
that the certificate of her marriage to
the deceased, as well as his last will
and testament leaving all his estate &c
her, is locked up in a safety deposit
vault downtown. John desired that
should not tell his mother or his rel
atives of the marriage" she said, "bu'
his brother had been here to visit hin
before he died John will be burieC
in my lot In Rose Hill cemetery, wher,
| expect to lie beside him when M
time comes"

Shadow of Herself

A Complete Cure Effected by
Hoods Sarsaparilla
Now Enjoying tho Best OF Health,

any mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over year.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged TO stay in a dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was SO weak she could not retain what
food she did eat, She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered SO much
that she became but the shadow OF her
self. One day ! happened TO read a tes-
timonial about Hoods sarsaparilla. 1t
Sounded So Truthfui
persuaded her TO try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight, She is now enjoying the best
OF health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is AZ years old and says she feels as well

Monday last, December o, 1897, Philip
L. Buckler took the oath OF Office as
Register Of Wills Of st. 3Iary's county
and entered upon the discharge of his
duties. Mr.. Buckler swore i'm before
Jos. +. Neal, deputy Clerk of the Circuit
Court. Mr.. Buckler appointed Mr.. Harry
Z. Graves, deputy Register.
On the same day, Mr. Benedict Il. Love
swore in as Sheriff of the county and
appointed Bernard Love and John s.
Jarboe deputies and James G. Longmore
jailor.
At 2:57 p. IN. Monday, Mr.. L. b. Abel
In the company of a number of his friends
CRIME into the Clerks Office and an
nounced that he was ready to take the
oath OF Office. Associate Judge Crane
at ESQ p. m, began the reading of the
oath, Mr.. Abel signed his name and at
. minutes past three the ceremony of
transferring the Office was completed
and Mr.. James j. Greenwich was an ex-
Clerk. Mr.. Abel made few brief re-
marks on taking charge to which Mr..
Greenwich responded. The new Clerk
appointed and swore in as his deputies
Messrs. Robt. A. Abel and Jos. +. Neal.
During the transfer twenty-five persons
were in the room composed almost en-
tirely of prominent republican friends
of the incoming Clerk. 1t was, of course,
a proud moment for the newly elected
official and his admiring partisans But
1t was sad for the few Democrats who
witnessed it. The outgoing Clerk was
not only their political associate but also
their intimate personal friend and the
memory Of his gallant fight and its fruit
less ending was to them inexpressibly
sad.
We part with Mr.. Greenwell and Uncle
Phil as public officials with the sincerest
regret and we hope that the future may
have many good things yet in store for
them. They have made good officials
and their friends have reason to be
proud of their records in the public ser
vice
We hope that the new officials may so
perform the duties of their positions as
to merit when they leave them the peo-
pies plaudit of "weli done"
