WHISKY AND CIGARETTES
Caused Mrs. williams Burning-was
an Ex-Conyict

an Ex-Convtct
The authorities believe that the woman
called Mrs. Williams, who was burned to
death in her grocery store on Boyle Heights
Wednesday night accidentally, caused her
own death. The coroner.s jury 50 de, !s;
Sda aSs ys'ssrsy sn.ss. One e. till
unknown man who was seen to go home
with the woman about an hour before the
fire in the store was discovered. Thus far
the authorities have been unable to locate
him, but every effort il being made to as
certain who he is.
The most important witness at the in
quest was William Dexter, the former clerk
employed by the woman. He was able to
habits Of the woman, which supply the most
likely theory for the cause Of the fire. The
woman's real name was Mrs. John OCon-
nor; she was AZ years of age, and native
of New York. With her husband she had
resided in San Francisco about seven or eight
years ago. They got into trouble over kill
ing a man, and both were found guilty, the
years for manslaughter, and the husband for
ten years. The woman finished her term
about five years ago and came to this county
and had resided here ever since. She took
up with q man named Williams, and as
sumed his name, but during her fits Of in
toxication she would declare that it was not
her right name. She would also in mo-
ments of exhilaration claim to be cousin
of John L. Sullivan, the ex-champion pH-
gilist.
Dexter said that when she would return
home intoxicated she would generally light
a cigarette after going to bed and smoke it
before falling asleep. On one occasion, he
smelt cloth burning, and going to her bed
discovered that the cigarette had fallen
from her lips and set fire to the bed clothes.
The woman was nearly helpless with drink
when she went to her home on Wednesday
night, and after retiring she probably lit a
cigarette, with fatal results.
Dexter was able to prove that he had not
been the person who had accompanied her
home Wednesday night, and had, in fact,
been away from her since carly Wednesday
morning. The woman had, he thought,
between $4,000 and $4,000 in some local bank.

Omaha, June 24.-(Special)-Up to date
there is no worthy representative Of Kan
sas among the exhibits at the Transmits
sisslppi exposition. The real Kansas ex-
hibit is yet to come. That which in the
agricultural building is marked kansas
is only a stake driven down to hold the
claim, in compliance with the requirement
to have exhibits in place by June l. This
so-called agricultural exhibit is nightly
frayed about the edges. There isn't very
much Of it, and what there is looks as il
it mad been hauled hither in hay wagon
and thrown into place with a pitchfork.
Furthermore, it is right up against the
magnitude and splendor Of the Nebraska
exhibit, and the contrast is not good to
the pride Of the surprised and grief
stricken Kansas visitor.
But there is relief upon visiting the
Kansas building, where you tell your
troubles to Mr.. A. II. Greet, secretary Of
the Kansas commission, who proves a
comforter such as the sound Of his sur
name gives no promise Of. For Mr.. Greet
knows that Kansas has not been either
slothful or dilatory in this matter, but
that her lack Of preparation was occa-
stoned in largest measure by the failure
of the legislature to appropriate for state
representation at the exposition that the
work mad to be done by the counties, by
their commissioners, and by commercial
clubs Of cities, if done at all, and that
this has taken time and that it has taken
men willing to risk their efforts and
their money in the mere preliminary Of
agitaung the matter from county to coun-
ty and city to city; that there is money
waiting almost everywhere, thanks to that
Kansas enterprise which never sleeps;
that just as fast as the now mature prod
ucts OF field and farm arrive at their very
pink of perfection specimens Of them all,
from all over the state, will be selected
and shipped, and that as soon as this is
accomplished the present tatterdemalion

KANSAS MINING EXHIBIT.
Mr.. Greet Of Pittsburg. Kan. ard in
consequence is specially well posted on
mining matters. He points out that the
mineral exhibit in the mining building
is what was left over from the world )
fair, and that there is almost ready an
entirely new lot Of material wealth com
ing from southeastern Kansas. where
abound coal. lead and zinc. and from
farther west, where the Quarryman gets
in his work.
SALT PRODUCTS PLACED.
The salt wells Of central Kansas, at
Lyons and Hutchinson already have very
creditabIe private exhibits.
In due season northeastern Kansas will
contribute Of her big red apples, to the
glories Of genealogical display.
OF the educational exhibits from Kansas
towns few are in place, among them
being notably those from Newton and
Clay Center.
OKLAHOMA IS BEHIND
Oklahoma is not yet in evidence at
Omaha but it is well known that her in
terests are being best looked after, on
her own soil, by a corps of tireless nus
tiers who are too busy just now to talk
much for publication but who are getting
together a second-to-none aggregation of
representatives of her magnificent and
abundant products. Oklahoma will be
found helping to kick the paint off the
dashboard of the band wagon, long before
the parade gets past.
THE PRESS BUILDING.
Presiding over the department of pub
licity and promotion as special commits
slOner, IS MI. *. w. RICHARDSON, whose
genial hospitality forms one Of the most
pleasant memories to be carried away
by visiting newspaper people. The Press
building is the headquarters of the visit
ing newspaper editors and correspondents,
and in the large room are kept on file the
principal newspapers and magazines of
the country. The small rooms are for
the exclusive use Of reporters, where they
can write their reports and send off their
messages.
The building is finished entirely of staff
on the outside, and will compare very
favorably with the surrounding buildings
Of the main court in general style and
architecture.

The Spanish Language.

Habla V. Espanol? Perhaps not It
is very pretty tongue, however. There
is Latin in it Of course. Then there are
Punic, Gothic and Arabic. In these ele-
ments reside its construction and it's his
tory. Spain means "hidden. - A long
time ago the Carthaginians discovered
the country. When the Romans discov-
cred it, too, they threw toga over it.
The Visigoths stuck their gutturals
there The Moors brought their filigrees
and arabesques. Latin was beaten in
with the hilt of the sword, Gothic with
a trowel and Arabic with scimiter.
From those three assaults the Spanish
of today is the result.-Edgar Saltus in
Golfers Weekly.

duu Iuo DdukS WILL IlO6 nave any GnlnS
to do with his paper. Suppose those
people who were once elegantly enter
tanned at his table get SO shortsighted
that they cannot recognize him upon
the street. How then? Is it SO easy to
be cheerful? It is easy to be cheerful in
the home, after the days work is done,
and the gas is turned on, and the house
is full Of romping little ones But sup
pose the piano is shut because the fin
gers that played on it will no more
touch the keys, and the childish voice
that asked SO many questions will ask
no more. Then is it SO easy? When a
man wakes up and finds that his re-
sources are all gone, he begins to rebel,
and he says: "God is hard; God is out
rageous. He had no business to do this
to me' My friends, those Of us who
have been through trouble know what a
sinful and rebellious heart we have and
how much God has to put up with and
how much we need pardon. 1t is only
in the light of flaming furnace that
we can learn our own weakness and our
own lack of moral resource.
Family Meetings.
There is also great deal of comfort
in the fact that there will be family
reconstruction in a better place. From
Scotland or England or Ireland child
emigrates to America 1t is very hard
parting, but he comes, after awhile
writing home as to what a good land it
is Another brother cCmes a sister
comes, and another, and after awhile
the mother comes, and after awhile the
father comes, and now they are all here.
and they have time of great congrat-
u1ation and very pleasant reunion.
