OPPRESSES THE MIND
Winfield Sullivan Won't Think
of Marrying,
Is ADJUDGED INSANE
Tells How He Preached and
Why He Quit

Winfield Sullivan, IS years old, was ad-
judged insane in the probate court yes
terday.
Mr.. Sullivan has great respect for the
ceremonial majesty OF law and though he
himself admitted that his actions looked
a little crazy" he hired an attorney and
made the whole proceeding of his getting
He took the stand and was examined
by Judge Haymaker.
What is your manner"
Winfield Sullivan
Where do you liver"
Wherever work I have no set home,
nor any place TO sleep as matter OF con-
sequence"
Are you married, Mr.. Sullivan"
NO. sir. do not allow myself to think
about that for it is oppressive to the
mind l quit thinking of getting married
two years ago and now my whole mind is
on land and money. All 1 think about
as long as 1 can help It, is land and
money, and that way don't think OF get
ting married"
What do you do?"
az work on the farm and have rail-
roaded some and preached some
What church did you belong to-"
NO church 1 went it on my own
hook"
Were you ordained to preach?"
Ordained OF God
do you preach nowr'
NO. SIR
why did you Quitr'
'Well, when 1 preached believed there
was he'll Of fire and birthstone Now
1 think a mans conscience is his hell I'M
til he wears it out, and then there isn't
any use to preach to him anyway. I saw
a great black hole In the earth and the
devil came out Now. III tell you, there
are a million devils on earth to one in
hell, and the devil on earth tempts a
million times harder than the one in hell
and so you see che fix I'm in. Women,
you know, run a man crazy, and then If
he can't get work he Is liable to go to
preaching and will probably get into the
asylum. But I'll pay you back your
money If it costs the city anything to put
me into the asylum. I'll show you that
I'm all right If my nerves get steady.

mot now. I used to drink, which is
worse than being insane, for a mans
mind can be weak and not have the head
ache"
You admit, then, that you are not
right"'
well, you see, I'll tell you. I don't
think I'm quite right 1 was called an
uncommon smart man, but was always
little 'quare.' 1 have quare notions about
religion and such things
why did you wear those two heavy
overcoats in August?'
"Well, that's just notion I had. You
see, everything is just notion
The young attorney who was engaged
for the defense examined the witness in
the hope that he could have Mr.. Sulli-
van show one Of the smart spells which
are termed by his friends lucid intervals
But the defendant went flying on a tan
gent at every question, and finally admit
ted that he was insane, much to the cha
grin of the young lawyer who, however
closed the examination and made an elo- |
quent appeal for Sullivan's discharge
I'D a cleared him. the young attorney
said, after the verdict was given. 'but |
he got ratified in his testimony
Sullivan came to Wichita two months |
ago from Independence, Kansas.

BEES STARVING TO DEATH
Lack of Nectar in the Flowers This
Year Causing Trouble.

All over this section Of Kansas the bees
are starving. There is lacking in the bios
SONS this year the saccharine qualities on
which a bee lives and which he stores
away in combs for the winter. The bee
keepers in and around Wichita are having
no end of trouble. The same difficulty ex-
lists all over this part of Kansas. At
lola, east of here, the bees have left their
usual haunts and have attacked the gro
Gerry stores, causing good deal of anxiety
among the clerks and customers. A Mr..
Sproul of that place says he has not got
one dollars worth of honey this year, when
he should have had five hundred dollars
worth.
The same condition exists in California,
where owners are taking bees, in some in
stances. a hundred miles from home to
secure food for them.
