NO LAND DEPART MENT.
Santa Fe to Abolish Its Land
Department in Mr.. FrOst's
Favor.

The land department of the Santa Fe
will pass out of existence November L
This is given on the best of authority
although Land Commissioner Frost re-
fuses to discuss the matter and General
Manager J. J. Frey is out of the city.
Yet the story comes so straight that it
cannot be discredited
Connected with the Santa Fe system
is entirely too much land remaining un-
sold to abolish the department without
making some other provision for its
care. 1t has therefore been thought
best to separate the department from
the system. A point in question that
has led largely to this determination, it
is said, is the matter of competition.
Parties along the line having lands for
sale in the same districts feel that they
are injured by the close competition in
many ways and in turn use their in
dUence to throw business to some other
road to the detriment of the Santa Fe.
This same state of affairs was contin-
ually coming up to the annoyance of
the company previous to the abolish
coal 1t became finally so much of a
disturbance that the furnishing of fuel
by contract was ordered.
In a way the land system will be dis
posed of i'll the same manner. Mr..
Frost who is SO thoroughly identified
with the property and who can tell in
an instant every little nook and crook
on the entire system and all the titles
pertaining thereto, will probably secure
the lands much as Fuel Contractor
Clausen has secured the coal contract
for the system.
1t is not the intention of the COM
pany to remove the Office from the
Santa Fe building at present. This may
come up later however. The present
force in the office and the men who may
be effected by the change are W. d.
Gossett, E. ]. Cartilage, Allen Boyle
and Raymond GlasscOck.

HUMMER FOUND GUILTY
Of Shooting Lucinda Hendricks With
Intent to Murder.

After fifteen minutes consideration Of
the case the jury in the district court
late Saturday afternoon brought in a
verdict declaring Will o. Hummer
guilty of shooting Lucinda Hendricks
with intent to murder. The penalty is
from one to ten years in the penitenti-
ary, and Judge Hazen will sentence
Hummer some time this week.
Hummer heard. the verdict without
any show of feeling whatever. He stood
up and stretched himself then held out
his hands for the sheriff's officer to ad-
just the handouts and walked out Of
the court room on his way to the coun-
ty jail. He had sat SulIenly during the
three hours in the afternoon the at
torneys were arguing the case with his
head supported by one arm resting with
the elbow on the table, listening without
Wincing in the least to the most with
ering expressions of the prosecuting at
torneys.
With Farmer Hendricks. the father
of Hummer's victim, it was different
He sat on the other side of the table
opposite Hummer and at every refer
ence to the betrayal or shooting of his
daughter became noticeably agitated
At one time during the argument of
County Attorney Jetnore he broke
down completely and sobbed for several
minutes.
Hummer is the ninth man convicted at
this term of the district court The
other convicted prisoners have been ia
ken to the penitentiary by Sheriff Cook.
and Hummer will probably have the
honor of being escorted to Leavenworth
alone.

HANNA MAY QUIT.
Will Probably Resign Chair
manship For Party'S Good.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-In all probabil-
ity Senator Mark Hanna will not man
age the next presidential campaign. OF
course, it all rests with him, and if he
wants to do the work his services will
be only too gladly received. 1t is be-
lieved, however, by those on the inside
that Mr.. Hanna will decline to accept
the position of chairman after the ma
tionaI convention of 1900.
The reasons are entirely political
Senator Hanna took the place at the
head of the national committee in 1895
both as duty and pleasure, believing
that he could contribute to the election
of Major Mckinley. He was prepared
for abuse of the candidate, but did not
expect to be made himself the princi-
pal target for attack The campaign,
necessarily, was free from personalities
so far as President Mckinley was con-
cerned, but was full of vilifcation of
Mr.. Hanna. He endured it all in si-
lence, but is not disposed to do so
again.
Besides that, the political leaders say
that the friends of Mr.. Bryan, being
unable to pick a flaw in Major Nc
Kinley's personal record, attacked his
campaign manager to such an extent
that "Hannaism,' unfairly but persist
emily, has come to be an unpleasant
and obnoxious epithet.

M'KINLEYS REACHHOME.
The People ReverentIy Uncover Their
Heads in Silence

Canton, o., Oct. 10.-The home COM
ing of President and Mrs. Mckinley
for the funeral of Mr.. George D. Sax
ton was attended with a most touching
and pathetic scene at the Pennsylvania
station. Many people were at the depot
when the train arrived and extended
the party a silent but sympathetic and
reVerent welcome.
President and Mrs. Mckinley were
first out of the car and were assisted by
Mr. George B. Frease through the sta
ton to the carriage in waiting AS
they approached, the crowd, with heads
uncovered and bowed, silently opened
a passageway through which they pass
ed. Mrs. Mckinley was supported by
the arm of the president with the care
and close attention he always devotes
to her personal comfort. He walked
slowly to the carriage, his head bowed
and his face a little paler than usual.
Mrs. Barber, Mrs. McKinley's sister,
was next off the train, and was joined
by her husband. Mr.. Webb c. Ha- -es
followed. John Barber was carried
from the train by his brother George,
who had gone from New York to Wash
ington to join the party, and by Mr..
George c. Clark The sick man was or
derly General Henry's staff in
Porto Rico, and has for some weeks
been i'll with typhoid fever-in Washing
ton, where his mother, Mrs Barber,
and Mrs. Mckinley have been nursing
him, first at the White House, and later
at Garfield hospital.

sAxroN WAS A 'MAsHER."
Other Women Have Had Cause to Re
gret an Acquaintance With Him

Canton. Ohio, Oct. 10.-Under ordina-
s-y circumstances the murder OF a clti-
zen so prominent as George d. Saxton,
with all the revolving detalls, Wou1o
have caused an explosion of public sem
timent ard stirred the city to the pro-
foundest depths.
No such conditions exist here with
reference to the killing of George d.
Saxton, though it has all the elements
of generalization. The logical expecta-
ton of the community has simply been
realized, and everyone is going along
about his business.
One citizen, less curiOuSly constructed
than the average, stated today that he
had not taken time from his business TO
even read the accounts of the tragedy.
1t was not news to him He knew as
well what had happened as if the de-
tails We're laid before him.
1t is remarkable how little surprise Is
manifested over the tragedy. The peo-
pie pour out their sympathy to the rela-
atiVeS and friends, who must bear the
humiliation, but this does not hide the
facts that are known to have existed
and which were food for the lovers Of
scandal.
When Annie George came to Canton
she was a beautiful woman. She was
a member of an excellnet family of Co.
lumbiana county. Her husband was
uncouth, though honest. 1t Gid not
take George Saxton long to show her
that her beauty called for a more re-
splendent sphere. Her fall was not
long delayed.
The relations of the couple soon be-
came matter OF gossip and later of
public knowledge, through the numer-
Gus suits that were brought in court
some by Mr.. George, and others by Mrs
George, against Saxton
George Saxton started in life with all
the advantages longed for by the aver
age young man. He was the only son
of wealthy parents. Graced with a fine
physique and easy manners, he was
much sought by society. Here are a
few incidents that may serve to show
his character:

And Yet Thev Promiaed-

One divorce application was filed and
one decree of divorce entered inthe distrirt
court Saturday. Mrs. A. A. Aiken pravs
for legal separation from S. c. Aiken, to
whom she was married in 1892, and c. I.
LaForge was declared to be no longer the
husband of Eliza J. LaFOrge, who deserted
1lvorce on the usual grounds of non-sup-
port ana deSertiOn. Among other things
she charges that Aiken at one time left
her while sick in bed without food or at
tentlon OF any kind, and that she was
compelled to rely wholly on the kindness
OF nelghbors. Patrick TyneI has secured
an order in the district court restraining
Mrs. Tynel from in any way incun bering
54l 5EedL property in Highland park until the
olyorce proceedings are settled Mrs Nv
mel secured the first order preventing her
husDand from molesting- her in the bosses
sion OF the property.

Mrs. Georges stolid Indifference and
seeming lack of curiosity as to the con-
dition of Saxton is considered remark
able. Not once did she make inquiry
as to how he had been killed, or what
had been done with the corpse.
Not once did she when under the
cross-fire of officials and the searching
scrutiny of officers show, by emotion or
movement, that she had done the kill
ing or knew anything about it.
Mrs. AlthOuse was formerly the wife
of George Nighman, son of Thad
Nighman of this city. Nighman was
a member of the Canton Steel com
pany and held a good position. Althouse
was from one of the best families here
and a swell fellow. Nighman severed
his connection with the steel company
and went to New Jersey, leaving his
wife here temporarily He came home
on visit unexpectedly, and as the re-
suit of certain alleged discoveries he
brought suit for divorce.
Soon after the divorce was granted
AIthouse married Mrs. Nighman. They
lived in the residence in front of which
Saxton was killed. Two years ago Alt
house, while riding his wheel on Tus-
carawas street, collided with a trolley
car and was killed.
Saxton's attentions to Mrs. Althouse
began shortly thereafter.

San Francisco, Oct. 1O.-The new fleet
of transports is rapidly being prepared
for service. The Newport has not yet
arrived but is expected at any hour.
The Senator will come off the Union
Iron works dry dock today and the Val
encia will take her place. The Ohio will
go on the dry dock today also and as
soon as she has been overhauled the In
diana will take her place. The latter
vessel went direct to the quarantine
station and will be fumigated before
she goes on the dry dock. The New
port Will follow the Valencia at the
dock and an effort will be made to get
all of the four vessels away next week.
If they can be fitted out in time, they
will leave in a bunch if not the Senator
will sail next Sunday and the others
will follow as they are got ready.
Gen. Merriam has called on General
Miller for the complete field returns of
all the troops in his command This he
did for the purpose of seeing how to
best select commands to go on the diff
ferent transports. They have to be
chosen with regard to the capacity of
the vessel and an effort will be made
not to overcrOwd any of the trans
ports.
Gen. Merriam has been informed that
the transport Peru sailed from Manila
on Saturday.
Gen. Merriam has chosen the follow
ing forces to constitute the final expedi-
tiOn to the Philippines:
Third battalion, Twenty third infant
~ and Oregon recruits; Is officers, 643
men.
Batteries A and D. California heavy
artillery; eight officers and 297 men.
Wyoming light artillery; two officers,
106 men.
Nevada cavalry; two officers, "a men.
First Washington infantry; 43 Off
GERS, 1,15S men
Twentieth Kansas infantry; 43 Off
GERS, ,121 men.
First Tennessee infantry; 85 officers,
/ 065 men.
Fifty-first Iowa infantry; 4s officers.
1044 men.
Totals, 191 officers, s. ,579 men.
In most of the regiments and detach-
ments great falling off from the origi-
nal strength is to be observed, which is
accounted for by absentees on leave, on
sick furlOugh, on detached service in
the general hospital and by discharges,
desertiOns and death. The battalion of
the Twenty third United States infant
~ and the recruits for the Second Ore
gon regiment have been designated for
embarkation on the Senator, which will
sail by the end of the week and may
carry 200 more men, probably one of the
batteries Of the California heavy artiI-
lery.

DIDN'T WANT THE HAT.
Miss Roses Objections to sticking"
Mr. Williams for a Hat We're
OverruIed.

t0The finest hat in town. was the Of
fer made by Assistant State Treasurer
Williams to Miss Rose if she would lift
the sack containing 81, 900 in silver.
Miss Rose lifted the sack, but the idea
of being really given a hat never entered
her head and she allowed the matter to
pass unnOticed.
tee went after Miss Rose and accOmpa-
MED her to a millinery store and the hat
was selected. Miss Rose was very
modest and would have cOntented her
self with a neat white sailor II she took
anv at all but the committee thought
that wouldn't do for a queen. They
had an order from Mr. Williams and
when J. T. Myers, Harry Robinson and
Charles K. Holiday took hold OF the
matter they commenced to look oven
an assortment of hats that are only
shown to those who wish to spend
money in large quantities.
The committee took Mr.. Williams at
his word and picked out the finest hat
in the store and when Miss Rose tried
it on and all agreed that it suited her.
it was taken by the committee. 1t
should be understood that Mr.. Williams
did not complain.
At O'Clock Saturday Miss Rose was
the special guest of the postOf1ce en-
ployes. Postmaster Guthrie received
her in his private office and the entire
force of letter carriers and employees
filed in and were introduced to Miss
Rose. She was then shown the work.

she held 50. 900 stamps and in the money
order department she was presented
with a postOffice money order on San

After the visit at the postoffice Miss
Rose attended the football game. Yes.
they play football in Honolulu she
said when asked if the game is played
on the islands. "One OF my brothers is
a member of a team. They play so much
rougher here. The way it is played on
the islands is rough enough, but this
is ever so much worse. I enjoy the
game if no one is hurt
Miss Rose has been called upon to
sing by every musical person that has
met her and her voice was a revelation
to them all. She sings some of the ma
tive Hawaiian songs with piano ac-
compartment in very pleasing man
ner but the songs she sings accom-
panying herself on the '-ukele'' have
captivated everyone. Miss Rose pos
sesses a full, rich, soprano voice and
she sings in a low, plaintive way that
