Returns From the Election in
Marshall County

DISTRICTS REVERSED.
A Republican Elected in the

And a Fusionfst Elected in the
Republican Territory.

Marysville, Nov. 16.-Here's an incl

Among the legislative districts formed
last winter were two in Marshall county.
The county previously being one legis-
1ative district. The legislature under
took to make one surely Republican and
the other of course surely against the
Republicans and the shape of those two
districts is a sight to behold. Their
inner edges were full of indentures, de-
pressions and projections. For to carve
an Republican legislative district
out in Marshall county requires an ar
chitect of no mean ability. But they
were formed one with the entire Re
publican majority in the county and the
other was supposed to contain the op-
position majority.
The Republican district had 400 ma
jority good and strong for the RepubH-
cans and the other about 100 in favor
of the other fellows. In the Republican
district ex-County Clerk Woodman was

DRAFT FROM wAMEeo.
Formerly of Kansas Man Fails to Get
Money Sent Him to Denver.

Denver, Nov. ia few days ago a
letter came to the Denver postoffice
addr~ ssed to 81. E. Wiley, Denver,
Colo.'' The postal authorities looked
in the directory and ascertained that
there was a J. E. Wiley, proprietor OF
the White House saloon at 1741 LariIner
street The letter was accordingly de-
livered to him at that address. J. E.
Wiley of 1741 Larimer street seized
upon it and said nothing. The letter
was from the WamegO (Kan) First Ma
tional bank, and contained a. draft for
$53 drawn in favor of J. E. Wiley. J. e.
Wiley of 1741 Larimer street cashed it
and put the money down into his jeans.
Yesterday J. E. Wiley of Greeley,
Colo, formerly Of Wamego, Kan, turn
ed up at the postoffice in this city and
wanted to know why he hadn't received
a letter from Wamego. He displayed
a second letter from Wamego saying
that a first letter containing a draft for
$53 had been sent.
This ]. E. Wiley's front name was
John.
John was told that ]. E. Wiley had
got the letter in question at 1741 Lari
mer street. John denied it and offered
evidence to show that he had been
stopping at 1927 Larimer.
A warrant was sworn out for James
Wiley and he was arrested on a, charge
of unlawfuIly apprOpriating money from
a letter which did not belong to him.
The wrong Mr.. Wiley agreed to pay
the right Mr.. Wiley the $50 but that
didn't satisfy the commissioner and the
prisoner was bound over to the federal
grand jury in the sum Of $500.

ROME ISSUES DEGREES.
Priests Book Placed Under the Ban
and Roman Catholic Burials Or
dered for Freemasons.

Washington, Nov 16.-Mgr Martinez
Ii, the delegate apostolic, has just re-
celved from Rome two important de-
crees bearing directly on the church in
this country.
The first is from the congregation OF
the index, a branch of the once power
full and dreaded inquisition or holy Of
hce, and states that the book, Monks
and Their Decline" by Rev. George
Zurcher, pastor of st. Joseph's church,
Buffalo, N. Y, has been placed under
the ban of the church, and the author
is In danger of accommodation unless
he retracts his errors.
The second refers to the funeral SER
vices of Roman Catholics who have
Joined Masonic orders, and is by far the
most liberal utterance with Rome has
yet made on this subject.
The latter decree allows q priest to
ofdciate, and permits the interment to
be in consecrated ground provided the
deceased was not openly hostile to the
church and expressed at some time,
even if indirectly, a willingness to be-
come reconciled to his former faith This
decree will end long standing griev-
ance concerning the refusal of some
priests to allow RomaQ Catholic cere-
monies at the burial of those who had
become affiliated with the prescribed
orders while others gave the full rites
of the church under similar circumstan-
ces.
Father Zurcher's monks and Their
Decline" is the first book written by an
American to fall under the ban of the
index. It has been an ecclesiastic SEN
satiOn for the last three months, not
only in this country, but also in Eur
ope. The decadence Of Spain and of all
the Latin countries is attributed by
Father Zurcher to the influence and
power of the monks, and he hints that
the United States should suppress all
the orders if it hopes to preserve law
and order in its new Spanish posses
siOnS.
Father Zurcher is still in charge of
his parish in Buffalo. He is an Alsatian
by birth, but has lived in New York for
many years. He is considered a brill
liant man. He has always been a cham

DIED OF STARVATION
Is the Claim of the Neighbors of an
Unfortunate Fort Scott Woman.

Fort Scott, Nov. 16-The officials of
this city are investigating a peculiar
case of self suicide.
At 606 South Hill street, there is a
little dirty frame house, behind whose
walls there has been untold suffering
suffering unto death. Sunday there was
taken from that house the cold form OF
a Mrs. Hill, but yet % years old, and
buried in a potter's field, leaving be
hind her a sucking babe to be cared for
by charity.
The cause Of death is attributed to
pneumonia, superinduced by starvation
and neglect. The family was in destl-
tute circumstances and suffered many
privations. The death chamber was
dark, dirty room, almost destitute of
furniture, and there in one corner, upon
a pile of rags, which was also the death
bed of her mother who preceded her
only a, few days ago, the angel of death
appeared and claimed one more m1ser-
able life from among the suffering. 1t
was indeed a woeful and sad affair, one
deserving of much pity, and yet it is
said that in Fort Scott there is no suf-
fering. The unfortunate woman died
Saturday morning but the undertakers
were not notified until Sunday and she
was buried in the afternoon by the
county.
Neighbors claim that the woman died
of starvation and neglect.

RICH CATTLEMAN KILLED.
Placed on a Railroad Track TO Hide
the Crime of Murder.

Coffeyville, Nov 16-Nathan Sheffield,
a rich cattleman, was found dead beside
the Iron Mountain railroad track about
ten miles south of Coffeyville early
Monday morning. The section hands
were going out to work and discovered
the body, which had been cut entirely
in two. and loading it on their hand
car, took it back to Lenapah-
The circumstances connected with the
matter indicate that Sheffield had been
murdered and then taken about 300
yards down the track to the Hickory
creek crossing, where his body was
placed on the rails in such a manner
that the evidences of the murder would
be destroyed when the train struck the
corpse. At least, this conclusion is
borne out by the fact that his false
teeth and considerable blood were found
about 300 yards north of where the
train had struck the body. The train
which ran over the body was a north
