IS NOW IN COUNTY JAIL
Mrs. Lawrence Thought Chill
dren Were Being Killed

Barefoored, bareheaded and thinly clad
renee was found trodding through the
muddy and sloppy streets of South
Wichita yesterday, pitiful and miser-
able spectacle of despair. She after
wards went to the home of Mrs Hatha-
way on South Water street, where
Sheriff Simmons found her in the after
noon and took her to the county Jail. In
formation of insanity was filed in the
probate court soon afterwards and she
viii be tried probably today.
Mrs. Lawrence is certainly insane, her
wild Authorizations having developed, it
is said, within the last two or three
days. She was very hard working
woman. and it is said was nearly the
support Of the family, and was well liked
by those for whom she had done various
kinds of work,
The first that was known of her I'M
balanced mental condition, outside Of the
family, was yesterday morning when
Mrs. Lawrence arose early and called at
Policeman McMillan's home, saying that
she had been driven out of the house by
her husband, who tried to kill her. and
that someone was trying to murder all
of the children. Her appearance at that
time indicated that her mind was not
right and Captain Mcmillan consoled her
as best he could and told her that he
would report the matter to the chief of
police. The woman left the house and
returned to her home. Later in the day
she broke loose from her husband, it is
said, and ran out of the house The
weather was turning colder, but Mrs.
Lawrence paid no attention to the wealth
er. She was without shoes or stockings
on her feet, and was very lily clad. Her
hair was hanging loosely over her Shout
ders and without anything on her head
in this fearful state of physical danger
she ran thirteen blocks through the mud
and water, in the middle of the streets.
She had done some work for Mrs Hatha-
way and happened to stop there, not be-
cause she suffered from the chill, but
simply because she knew Mrs. Hatha-
way. The sheriff and police were at once
notified to call and get Mrs. Lawrence,
it being evident that she was insane.
Mrs Hathaway took her into the house,
bathed her feet, warmed her thoroughly
Dry clothing was put on the woman, and
Mr.. Simmons got her and took her to the
jail as hurriedly as possible. Here she
was placed by fire and cared for ten
derby until she was thoroughly over the
chill.
Clint Lawrence the woman's husband,
shed tears when the sheriff drove I'D to
his home on South Wichita street to
ascertain about the wife. He told the
sheriff that she had broken away from
him and ran out of the house, and thai
he was no longer able to do anything
with her. He said it would not do for
him to go up to Mrs. Hathaway's with
the sheriff to get his wife, and he stood
off block and watched the sheriff take
her away. He is left alone with the
children.
Mrs. Lawrence told Sheriff Simmons
that someone was trying to kill her chill
dren and asked him to see that they
were unframed

political purposes. Gross abuse of pow
ec was charged and grave scandals were
common
THE various elements of opposition to
the Republican party took I'D the cry
against the system. In 1896, under tho
lead Of the Populists, they carried the
state, and secured not only the gov
ernorship for Leedy, but both branches
Of the legislature, for the first time.
Leedy did not believe in the metropon-
tan police law. Personally, he favored
its repeal But he did not advocate such
action, and the Populist legislature did
not take it. The reason was plainly
stated by the Lawrence Journal before
Leedy's inauguration. This Republican
newspaper declared that there is no
doubt in the mind of any one who has
Investigated the law that it is : fraud, a
cheat; 1t bankrupts every city that has
IL, and gives encouragement and salaries
to a lot Of tax-eating dead beats who
use the law only to further their own
schemes and to make a living from
But it said that IT expected the law to
survive the change of administration, for
this reason: If Governor Leedy recon-
mends its repeal, or takes Che bull by the
horns and practically wipes it out by
his own act, as he can do a hundred or
more nice. fat, easy jobs will be lost to
the Populists.'
I'VE see in Kansas on a small scale
what must happen on a large scale in
New York If the system of state control
of local police were to be introduced
here. The resentment which the people
in Kansas towns of 1000 to 10000 in
habitants naturally and properly feel at
the usurpation of their government by
outside authority would be intensified
in our far greater cities, and the political
abuses must inevitably be far worse.
Indeed. it would be hard to imagine "a
worse blow at the cause of good gov
eminent in New York than the sur
render of city administrations to all the
demoralizing influences of state control
and state -olitics"

The new feature of the flannel waist
is that it is either tucked, hemstitched,
or embroidered in bands, both front
and back, very much on the order OF
the more elaborate linen waists, but
no yoke in the back, as that idea Is
decidedly passe. Then there are the
new cotton corduroy shirt waists with
embroidered bosoms in contrasting
colors, or strips of colored embroidery

Those in white corduroy with bands

to cycling, golf and yachting costumes,
when worn with the new homespun

top of the board, and put nprigh'

How Queenstown Got Its Name.

1t had long been, says the royal
biographer. the wish of the Queen
and Prince Consort to visit Ireland,
and it was hoped that the sympathy
of the sovereign, marked by her
presence among her suffering sub
jects might have cheering influence.
In August, 1S49, the Queen and
Prince, with their four children, hav-
ing embarked at Cowes, landed at
the Cove of Cork. At the moment
when the Queen stepped for the first
time Oh the Irish shore the sun burst
in spiendor from the clouds, and to a
deputation of the townsmen her majesty
communicated her pleasure that the
town of Cove in commemoration OF
her visit, should henceforth bear the
name of Queenstown. The reception
Of the royal party was most enthusias-
tic. In her journal her majesty wrote:

remarkable, and struck us much; f;

Took Five Men to Lit jaw.

The bones of mastoden have been
unearthed on the Bass farm near
Elkhalt, Ind. Portions of the skull,
jaws, forelegs, sections of the spine
and twenty-six ribs were found. The
skull weighs 600 pounds. All the
bones are in fair condition. The deep
vein of muck from which the bones
were exhumed indicates that it was
once the bed of lake. Five men
were needed to lift the upper jaw out
of the trench.

everything has its place, so that any
