Aged Wichita Woman Passes Sud
denly Away With Heart Disease.

Wichita, Oct. 2s.-ATrs. James McCor-
mick, aged rs years. was found dead at
her home at 326 South Emporia, yester-
day by c. S. Glines OF Phoenix, Ariz.,
who is visiting his sister, Mrs. Rachel
Johnson, at 337 South Emporia. It is
thought heart disease caused her death.
Mr.. Glines was taking her breakfast to
her, as she lived alone, and he knocked
on the door, receiving no answer.
After repeating it several times he
broke down the door and found her
lying in the back room near the door.
She had been dead some time, and was
clad in her night dress. She was lying
on her back, with her feet near the door
and her head thrown back. Both arms

animation of what has been accom-
pIished and the plans for future work
had inspired him with the utmost con-
fidence in the success Of the movement
and he wishes all friends of the cause
to know that the confidence felt by him
in Mr. Harvey at the time of his APP
pointment has only been confirmed by
patient investigation of his work The
statement that there has been any fric-
ton between Mr.. Harvey and himself
or that there has been any friction
any material point or want Of con-
fidence in Mr.. Harvey, he says, is
fabrication and Is entirely without
foundation in fact.

THEY WERE EASY.
Emporia Merchants Bite at a Conf
dence Game.

Emporia, Oct. 2s.-Thomas Greasy has
obtained money from several of our
merchants the past week and left the
city uncaptured. When he came to
town he told in quite a friendly way
that he was an employe of the NJ. K.
& T. railroad and lived in Americas. He
made a friend of Harry Dwelle and also
loafed around the store of F'rantz &
Wilson.
Yesterday he went to Dwelle and told
him that he wanted to borrow somemon-
ey for day or two To protect Mr..
Dwelle he would give him a mortgage
on a COW, horse and buggy, which he
owned in Americas. Mr.. Dwelle made
the loan. The smooth man then went
to Frantz & Wilson's store, bought a
pair of shoes on time. Last night Mr.
Dwelle wrote to Americas and found
that no such man was known there.
This morning he told the police, and
Ringer found that the man had left

Ex-Governor Stone, of Missouri, would

Senator Jones stated that the whole
story was a fabrication without
semblance Of truth in it. He said that
he went to Chicago a few days since to
look over Mr.. Harvey's plan as he felt
great interest in its success. So far
from being dissatisfied with Mr.. Harvey
or his plans, he was in fact, very much
pleased with both, and that careful ex-

INDEPENDENCE BRICK.
Plant Supplying One Million Brick
for CherryvaIe SmeIter.

Independence, Oct. 2S.-The brick
plant has been hard at work for a
week or two past to fill it's contract of
supplying a million brick to the Cherry
vale smelter. About 6fty-fve men
have been employed and the plant has
been running twelve hours per day The
brick required for the Cherryvale order
are nearly all made and with no other
big order in sight the plant will have to
shut down unless the street paving goes
ahead This would keep the plant busy
for many months to come and give time
for the Independence brick to get a rep
utation abroad that would always keep
it well stocked with orders.

TO PROSECUTE NJ. ZOLA.
French Government Accepts The
Novelists' Bold Challenge.
THE GOVERNMENT SUSTAINED

The Chamber of Deputies, by n Vote of
3I2 to 1872, Expresses Confidence and
"Relies on the Government to stop
the Campaign Against the Army"
Paris, Jan. 1s.-Count De Nun, the
clerical leader, caused excitement in the
chamber of deputies yesterday when he
asked to be allowed to question the
government on the subject of Emil
Zola's open letter to President Faure.
M. Zolas letter, which formed the
basis of Count De Nuns question,
pointed out the alleged Irregularities
and illegalities, in the Esterhazy court
martial formally accused the minister
of war, General Billot; General Mer-
cier. Major Ravary and Major Patty de
Clan of perjury, and challenged the
government to prosecute him.
The minister of finance, NJ. Cochery,
replied that the absence of General
Bilot compelled him to postpone dis
cussion of the matter. This caused an
uproar, and Count De Nun declared
that he had advised General Billot and
the premier, NJ. Meline, of his intention
to raise the debate, for" he said, "the
matter is not one which can be put
Off" The minister finally agreed to
suspend the session until General Bill
lot could be in attendance.
When the session was resumed the
premier, M. Meline, made a statement.
saying in substances:
I'VE understand the announcement
in the chamber of the presence of the
attack on the chiefs of the army. The
government, recognizing their duty,
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1898-01-14

have decided to prosecute M. Zola, al
though they are not blind to the fact
that the prosecution is desired in order
to prolong the agitation. 1t is to be
hoped the chamber will have confidence
in the energy and wisdom of the gov
ernment.'
Count De Nun said the government
owed it to the army that it be assured
of its confidence, as 1t was impossible
to allow the accumulation of insults
and attacks.
General Billot said this was the fourth
time he had been called upon to defend
a matter upon which judgment had al
ready been passed. The army, he ad-
ded, treated the attacks with contempt,
but it was painful to see it attacked
from abroad. The army was com
posedly pursuing it's mission, and in the
day of need would know how to do its
duty.
M. Jaures, the Socialist leader, con-
demned the court martial proceedings
behind closed doors, which, he asserted,
left the mind of the nation cropping
in obscurity." He also asked the house
not to repudiate the subordination of
the military to the civil power.
To this General Billot replied: THE
army obeys it's chief, and as the faith
full guardian of republican institutions
pursues it's sacred mission"
M. Cavaignac, Republican, asked the
government to communicate to the
house the secret document which had
determined the condemnation of Drey-
fus, which caused murmuring.
Nj. Meline said it was impossible to
reopen before the chamber a case al
ready judged by a court martial,
The house rejected a motion of NJ
Cavaignac regretting the governments S
vacciating policy and adopted, by a
vote of 3l2 to 122, the motion express
ing confidence in the government and
relying on the government ito take the
necessary steps to stop the campaign
against the army"
M. Zola was in the lobby of the
chamber of deputies while his letter
was being debated. He was cold shoul-
dered and snubbed in almost every di-
rection, the general feeling being that
the scandal ought to be allowed to die
1t is predicted that NJ. Zola will get a

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE senate did
not make great progress with the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty yesterday.
Several speeches were delivered. but in
every instance the speakers announced
that their remarks wre l-srely prelim-
mary to what they should say before
the close of the debate. Those who
spoke were Senators Stewart Frye and
Morgan, all of whom ia 'ored annexa-
ton. In the open session of the SEN
ate Senator Caffery made a speech op-
posing the Lodge immigration bill. Sen
ator Morgan introduced a bill for the
construction of four coast defense mon
itors, and Senator Mcmillan, from the
naval committee, reported favorably a
bill appropriatng $3.50, 600 for the con-
struction of a Eunboat for the great
lakes.
The house completed the considera-
tion of the agricultural appropriation
bill in committee of the whole and then
adjourned upon the motion of those
