Leavenworth, July 9.-Leavenworth
is the home of the sister of Gen. Wey-
ler-but that's another story, as Rud-
yard Kipling would say.
It was a common thing in good old
days gone by, for Commodore Schley
to walk firm-footed along the streets of
Leavenworth, to mix in common dis
course with the old settlers of this city
and eat green apples at his brothers
grocery store. This was when he was
a dashing young naval officer, and
many a Leavenworth lass lost her
heart to his uniform.
Henry and William Schley ran their
grocery store on Fifth street as early
as 81. They were thriving young mer-
chants and had a large circle of friends.
Mrs Louis Mayo. Mrs. Massey and
Mrs. DR.. Mccormick knew the Schleys
we'll 1t used to be a society event for
the town when young Win Schley, as
he was called, came on his vacation
visits from Annapolis. His last visit
was shortly after the civil war, and as
naval hero, he was treated with dis
tinction
Henry and William schley subse-
quently moved to Kansas City and be-
came travelling men. Both are now
dead. Mrs. William Schley now lives
in Kansas City on Cherry street. Her
daughter is the wife of J. w. Merrill.
Lieutenant Thomas c. Schley son of
Commodore Winfield Scott Schley,
hero of Santiago, graduated from the
infantry and cavalry school at the fort
in the class of '97, and was well known
in Leavenworth. Out of his class of
40 he ranked third and was among the
distinguished" graduates. He had en-
tered the army service as a private and
rose step by step until he became sec
Ond lieutenant. He was commissioned
in August of 81, in the 23rd infantry.
Shortly after graduation he went east
and was married to Miss Langdon, who

NEW SPELLING.

The United States Board Of Geo
graphic names has made another on
slaught on the spelling Of the good old
familiar titles of places domestic and
foreign.
It must be ''Habana' hereafter, for
example. Where it has been deemed
feasible the words city" gap and
town" have been dropped from the
names of towns. It is now Butte" and
not Butte City" Montana; America"
notf'America City, Nebraska; Beans"
not Bean Cap Tennessee, and Bear"
not 'tBeartown," Florida.
Another reform is effected by the
elimination of apOstrOphes in such
names as 'Dobb's Ferry "Bafin's
Bay and "Gardiner's Island" The
correct spelling of our new Eldorado is
given as ''KIondike,' and a rule is es-
tablished for the spelling of foreign
names Here are some examples of the
new style; Korea KARLSRUHE
Krakow ''Cartagena,' Bangkok. -
Argentina" mot the Argentine Repub-
hc), "Mainz" (not Mayence), Mar
seilIe' (not Marseilles), Tibet" (nOt
Thibet), and ''Timbuktu' Cnot Timbuc-
tool. Amnog the changes nearer home
are xiii van Kun.'' for our xiii Won

Religious Enthusiast Tried for Insan-
ity at Oswego.

Oswego. July 9.-During a street
meeting conducted by Holiness work
ers, Mr. j. o. c. Baker informed them
that his mother was very sick and that
their noise worried her very much and
kindly asked them to move, which they
refused to do. Mr.. Baker then went
after the officer, who told them to dis
perse and they answered that they
were in the power of God and God di-
rected them there and they would
stay"
The officers had to use force to dis
perse them. Miss Sadie Miller, Mrs. \.
NJ Padget and L. Weldon were arrested
charged with disturbing the peace. They
all plead not guilty. Mr.. Weldon was
released. The city marshal found the
defendants at the Frisco depot, waiting
for train, and escorted them to the
police court room. The reason they gave
for not appearing was that The Lord
didn't direct them there" The power
of the Holy Ghost would hardly let
them answer the questions the court
asked them. Before Miss Miller got out
of the police court room Sheriff Ed
wards stepped up and served an order
from the probate court on her and took
her over to the court house to be tried
for insanity
