at church His widow is a Catholic
and it was often said that her husband
intended to embrace Catholicism.
The widow and her daughters re-
manned the room with the body until 10
o'clock when they were induced to re-
tire for much needed rest.
Mrs. George is bearing up well under
the strain, but her friends fear that she
will soon give way. There is talk of
taking her out of town Immediately

and spread until my entire body was in

During Governor dwellings admins

the state had cheated him out of. Fred
Close, who was the governors private
secretary was instructed by the governor
to look into the matter. SchoIder's first
letter was sensible enough, but he soon
began to show his insanity. He demand

the matter to Washington and that he
would cause the United States and Kan

would precipitate war. He soon began
to threaten the life of the governor and
the state officers.
During MorriIl's administration he made
the same threats as before, and as soon
as Leedy became governor he made his
demands to Attorney General Boyle, whom
he knew, and when he found that he
would not be listened to he started for

TWO PLUMBERS AND DOG
Plumbers Managed to Get a Leak
Fixed in Spite of the Dog.

A Topeka plumber had a call re-
Gently to send two men to a resi-
dence in the west part of town to fix
a pipe that was leaking. He sent two
of his men. They took their tools and
started for the house. 1t was but
short walk and the place was easily
instructions were to go in the back
door which had been left unlocked
They went around to the back door
and started up the steps. As soon as
they had set foot on the steps a big
burly mastiff appeared and growled in
a very unwelcone manner.
Speak to him" said No. I.
speak to him yourself said No. 2.
No. 1 coaxed and talked but to no
avail. The dog would growl Then
No. tried it awhile, but he could Meth

Barking dogs never bite" said No. l
and he started up the steps but more
vicious snarl than before started him
in a quick retreat. THAT water is still
running and we must get it fixed said
No. in an authoritative sort of tone
They renewed their efforts and tried
and tried, but in vain, to get by the dog
Finally they went to the nearest
butcher shop and got a piece of meat
No. 1 coaXed the dog away from the
steps with the juicy steak and No. 2
made a rush into the house and closed
the door before the surprised dog knew
what was up. When the dog saw the
man rushing into the house he bounded
back to his post with the meat and
calmly commenced to eat it and to
watch the man in the house and the one
outside. In a few minutes the man on
the inside got the work done but he
could not get out past the dog. While
he was talking to No. from a window
and wondering how he was to get out,
the mistress of the house came home
and the dog trotted off with her into the
front of the house. The two plumbers
returned to their shop and the bill

New York. Oct. 3-The dispatch
which summoned Rev. Edward Nc

dead, but bearing in mind his own pre-

Henry George had conf1ded to him, he

At the hotel he was met by Henry
George, Jr. When he was taken into
the room where his friend lay dead, he
burst into tears. The scene was a dis
