Only One Days Residence in Missouri
Necessary for Divorce.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Oct. Silt is neces-
sary to 1--we in Missouri only one day to
get a divorce, provided the offense because
of which the divorce is asked was commit
ted here and the plaintiff will declare in
tention of residence. This ruling was made
yesterday by Judge Gates in his division Of
the Circuit Court in a recent case. James c.
Reiger, attorney for the plaintiff in the di-
vorce suit of Charles II. Ladd, against Edna
Ladd, had left out of his petition the usual
clause stating that the plaintiff had been
a resident of the State for one year next
prior to the filing of the petition. Judge
Gates objected to the omission.
But il is not necessary" said Mr. Rel
ger, ana then he read his authority See
ton 1903 of the Revised Statutes of 1889
Judge Gates admitted that the attor-
ney was right and granted the divorce. A
man having home in another State could
under the statute as il now stands, come
to Missouri. leaving his wife at home SET
up a residence here and on a days notice
file a petition alleging grounds for divorce
committed since he came here, get service
by publication, which his wife would never
see, and secure his divorce by default. Then
ne could change his mind about his resi-
dence here. move anywhere he pleased and
after the sixty days allowed the defendant
for appeal she would have no recourse. This
beats South Dakota and Oklahoma

such circumstances as these ANY greater
celerity would have meant an undignihed
irreverential rush.
August Lewis, a prominent single taxer
wept bitterly as he passed by, and tenderly
laid a bunch of violetS on the glass. A
woman who followed in the line about an
hour later placed a modest bunch of pinks
beside the violetS.
A little before o'clock the line was
stopped and those who could not get IN
were compelled to turn back and get out
from the police lines. A careful estimate of
the number who could not get in is 30 600
This number is equal to the number of those
who passed the casket Then another throng
came-those who wished to hear the emil
nent clergymen praise Henry George. Dur
ing the last hour an orchestra played Cho-
pins Funeral March" Handels Largo"
and "The Lost Chord.
The floral decorations were profuse. A
mass of wreathed flowers was sent by the
Chicago Single Tax Club. On a card ac-
companying the wreath was the following
verse:
'Oh, We. whose cheek the tear of pity stains
Draw near with pious reverence and at
tend;
Here lie the loving husbands dear remains
The tender father and the generous friend ;
The plying heart that felt for human VICE.
The dauntless heart that feared no human
The friend of man; to vice alone a foe,
For cen his failngs leaned to virtues
side''
The casket itself was devoid of any orna-
ment save the heavy silver handles and the
plate, which read:

years, as well as present conditions. The
Democrats elected James e. Campbell Gov
ernor, with full state ticket, in 1889: and
secured Legislature that elected Calvin
;. Br1ce senator. Then followed the large
Republican pluralities by which Mckinley
was elected Governor in 1891 and 1898. In
1894 the Republican plurality was 13l 0S6, the
largest ever known in the State. Two years
ago Governor Bushnell had a Republican
plurality OF 1882. and the Legislature that
elected Senator Foraker had a majority on
joint ballot OF. eighty. Last year Ohio gave
Mckinley a plt1ality of 51.109 for President
and 1t is with this vote of last November
for President that the vote of next Tuesday
will be compared. Last year the Repub-
lcan pluralities were largely in the cities.
Hamilton county gave Republican plural
ity of nearly twenty thousand and Cuyua-
hoga county of over fifteen thousand. Fac
tional troubles at Cincinnati and Cleveland
are expected to reduce these pluralities.
AS the polls close at 2. IN. in Cincin-
natl and Cleveland the first returns will
come from those cities and show Demo-
cratic gains. The returns from some other
cities are expected to show smaller Demo-
cratic gains. The Republicans are counting
on gains in the rural districts, where pros
perity has resumed more than in the towns.
The Democrats claim they will hold the
rural vote down and win out on the changes
in the cities.

JOHN WATKA SHOT.
Indian Who Killed His Rival in a
Fight for Maiden.

CHELSEA, I. T., Oct. 31.-To-day John
Watka. the Creek Indian who shot Jonas
Deer, another member Of his own tribe. was
legally executed for the crime The men
were rivals for the hand of the same girl,
and fought at dance, at which she was
present to decide who should gain her.
Watka killed Deer, and afterwards married
the Indian maiden. Several days prior to
the time preparations for his wife's future
welfare were completed, and, the pang of
parting over Watka set out alone to the
public execution grounds. In due time he
arrived. The crowd was waiting. The
prisoner assumed his position on bended
knees with arms tied behind and a blind
fold tied over his eyes The rifle was
placed in the hands of a keen marksman.
The sharp crack, and the white spot
marked for the heart was discolored with
the squirting blood caused by the deadly
bullet
Late this summer Watka went to Kan
sas City with baseball nine of his fell
low-reds and played a game at one of the
parks He had ample opportunity to es-
cape but returned to the Territory of his
own accord, that his sentence might be
carried out.

Scenes in the Palace While the Body
Was Lying in State.


NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The body of Henry
George lay in state to-day in the Grand
Central Palace, and 10000 people reverently
passed the casket and looked on the face of
the dead philosopher. From 8 o'clock in the
morning till in the afternoon a stream of
men, women and children poured into the
hall. The immense throng was composed
of representatives of all classes Of all
shades of life and all religious opinion. On
every face was stamped the unmistakable
signs of sincere regret, while hundreds of
faces were drawn with suffering and pain.
To thousands of those who passed by,
Henry George was personally known, and
1t was these who fingered for longer mo-
ment to gaze again on the face OF the man
whom to know was to love. Some of them
wept. The children, of whom there were
hundreds, were raised along by the guard
and held up while they gazed at the fea-
lures of the man who died fighting to
brighten their lives.
In the early dawn the body was moved
in plain hearse from Union Square Hotel
to the Grand Central Palace, unattended
save by the guards of honor and four police
men. Behind the hearse came a single
carriage, Anna George, the youngest daugh-
ter. who insisted on accompanying the body
sion could sway her from, her purpose.
Weeping bitterly she stood at the head of
the stairs at the hotel and begged to be
permitted to go. She wished to arrange the
flowers about the casket in which her faith
ers remains reposed. Pleadings proving
vain, she became importunate and refused
to permit the body to be taken away un-
less she accompanied it. The other men,
bers OF the family, their grief emphasized
by the child's utter abandon of anguish.
yielded, and Richard George. her brother,
accompanied her to the Palace. There, with
loving hands, she arranged the flowers as
she would have them and permitted no one
to lend the slightest aid.
AT O'Clock the doors opened, and imme-
diately several hundred persons, who were
in waiting without, entered the hall with
bowed heads. They saw at the head of the
hall in an Immense bower of floral tributes
a plain heavy black cloth covered casket
resting on a dais. Through the glass they
calmly. his features unruftied, as if in sleep.
The left arm rested lightly on the breast
the other by the side. The remains were
clad in black broadcloth, turn-doWn coll
lar and plain black tie.
For the first half hour the throng filing
up the hall In twos, passed at the rate of
1900 an hour. but soon the numbers swelled
and grew until at ore time eighty passed
each minute. AT this rate, 5000 an hour
the crowd passed until the churches emptied
their audiences into the vast concourse,
which was vending its way down from
filled Forty-sixth street and Third avenue
for many blocks. For the last two hours
the crowd came at the rate of 5000 an hour.
This is the highest rate obtainable under

conduct of every patrolman it was possible
to handle the great crowd without any dis

down the avenue five deep and was passed
through the hall in twos. Those going to
the right passed across a bridge into the

Views of Judge Nash.

COLUMBUS, o.. Oct. 31.-In reply to a
question in regard to the probable results
of the Ohio election on next Tuesday,
Judge Nash tonight said: Il have care
fully considered and examined the results
of the polling of the State made by the
various committees, together with the es-
Inmates of the chairmen as to the results
liz their counties independent of the polling,
and / am satisfied that the coming cleo
tion will result in a victory for the Re-
publicans, not only on the State ticket. but
in the General Assembly. During the last
ten days the Republicans have shown great
activity, and the danger from apathy
which seemed to exist for a time has passed
away. | believe the total vote of the State
will be as large, if not larger, than 1t was
in 1895. The Republican State committee
approaches the election with entire conf
dence i'll complete victory"
