INSANE FROM HEAT.
Rev. Wesley N. Price of Wa1senberg,
Col, in Detention Hospital

Chicago. Sept. S.-Rev. Wesley M.
Price, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church at Walsenberg, Col, who has
been spending his vacation in Chicago,
is confined a patient at the deten-
ton hospital. He was taken to that in
situation from the Presbyterian hospi-
tai yesterday in a delirious condition.
Mr.. Price was overcome by the heat
Friday and had been taken to the hos
pital for treatment. He was in a crit
zeal condition and Saturday evening he
became delirious. He insisted on preach
ing sermons and said that he had come
to Chicago to rid the city of bucket
Shops" which he considered were the
worst kind of gambling. He became so
violent that it was necessary to strap
him to his bed, and two attendants were
compelled to be with him constantly.
His rawlings disturbed the other pa
tients at the hospital and it was decid-
ed to have him removed to the deten-
ton hospital. At the latter institution
he became calmer and it is believed
that he will recover in a short time.
Mr.. Price is As years old and has a
family living in Walsenberg. He came
to Chicago five weeks ago and had been
staying at the home of Miss Jennie A.
Hansey, 142 Ashland boulevard.

lasting love was developed in the ses-
sion of the district court here this after
noon, upon the part of the woman who
voluntarily placed herself in position to
go to the penitentiary for horse stealing,
as an accomplice of the man she loved.
Josie Langfere was a domestic, but the
occupation of her young lover, George
Morgan, lay in doubt The man be-
came hard up and stole horse from
farmer, Josie being with him in a buggy
when he led the horse to town. He sold
the horse and was caught.
At the trial the girl incriminated her
self as an open accomplice, the young
man having pleaded guilty. She stated
before the trial that she wanted to go
othe penitentiary if George went, and
it seems her testimony will accomplish
her desire

HAD HE YELLOW FEVER.
Elmer Q. Green's Body Sent to Reia-
tives at Topeka.

Word has been received at the gov
ernor's office that the body of Elmer
O. Green of the Seventh regulars who
died at MontaUk has been started on
its way to Topeka
Considerable apprehension was at
first felt because young Green had yell
low fever when he was at Santiago.
Private Secretary Lewis says that he
understands that the young man re-
covered from that malady and died of
some other disease.
The fact that the body has been
started for Topeka indicates that Green
did not die of yellow fever. If the SOL
der did die of yellow fever there would
be q great deal of danger in bringing
the body to Topeka or anywhere else.
The mother of the young man is Mrs.
E. Green who lives in the country near
Topeka.
Topeka should inter the remains of
this brave young soldier who died for
his country with appropriate ceremon-

would do the most good for silver be-
cause this question is the paramount
one. I have no apologies to make for
voting for Mr.. Bryan (cheers). L will
say I would gladly support him in 1900

could not see how I could break away
from the old party I answered I did not
see how 1 could stay in it"

NEVER BY HALVES.
Newton Has the Usual Friendly
Words for the Fall Festival.

Newton Republican: Topeka never does
things by halves. The Karnival knights
have lust received a letter from Dan H
Case of Honolulu, Sandwich islands, in
which he undertakes the task Of selecting
a beautiful Hawaiian girl to act as queen
of the Karnival which will be held Fri
day, September 80. during the festival and
reunion week. The old soldiers will mon
opolize the first few days of the week, but
Thursday evening, Friday and Friday
evening will be the scene of untold gay
ETY.. Nothing could be more fitting than
that one of new found citizens should
be the presiding genius
Mr. Case writes that the selection will
be made within ten days and all the in,
formation concerning the new queen will
at once be forwarded. 1t will cost money
to secure the attendance of the Hawaiian
beauty, but the Karnival Knights do not
care for expenses when a big entertain
ment feature is a stake.

Washington, Sept S.-When the pres
ldent is off on his next trip the White
House is to be repainted, under the di-
rect1on of Col. Bingham, superintendent

there are always many people.
Opportunity to do such work is best

away on vacation. At that time the
majority of the White House officials
and clerks go off on vacation, and little
business is done to interfere with work
men. Several of the clerks are now
away for much-needed rest.

the execution of his will, May %. 1882 and
so remained to the day of his death.
