A WOMAN.
Ellis Glenn Was Sent TO States
Prison as a Man.
Penitentiary Bathroom Discovered
a Secret That Shook the Walls
Of the Place.

Chester, ILL.,, November 25.-Ellis
Glenn until to-day believed by ev-
Ierybody in Southern Illinois and
Missouri to be a man turns out to
be a woman. Glenn, who came
from the East, was arrested, and
pleaded guilty at Hillsboro, ILL.,, on
a charge of forgery. 1t was alleged
that he endeavored to obtain money
on a forged note. He was sentenced
to serve an indefinite period on
parole at the Southern Illinois PEN
itentiary at Chester. This is an
institution for male prisoners only.
To-day Glenn arrived at the
prison in charge of Sheriff Cassidy.
Fifteen minutes after the arrival of
the pair the prison walls shook with
sensation such as it has not
known in a long while. Glenn was
regularly turned over to Deputy
Warden Mcdowell, who receipted
tor him. The prisoner was ordered,
as is customary in such cases, to
have his hair clipped. That ope-
ration performed he was assigned
to the bathroom, to undergo a good
washing, as is also customary.
The sex of the prisoner was discov-
cred before the immersion.
1t was a surprise to the officials.
Glenn was hustled into clothes
again without any delay and sent
Oft to the hospital, where an exami-
nation by surgeons proved conclus-
lively that the new arrival was not
man, as had been supposed, but
a real, live woman. AS there is no
ward for women at Chester Glenn
was placed IN charge of Cassidy
and forwarded back to Hillsboro.

YOUNG GREEN
May Have Perished i'm a Storm
Raging in Texas.

Dallas, November 25.-Alarming
reports come from the lower gulf
coast of Texas, where a storm has
been raging. The storm was most
severe in the vicinity of Rockport.
A number of small vessels have
been lost, and hundreds of head of
cattle fare drowned, having been
driven into the gulf. Many houses
have been destroyed, and it is fear
ed some lives were lost. Much I'M
easiness is felt for hunting and
yachting parties from Dallas,
whom are ex-Mayor Holland
and E. H. h. Green, son of Hetty
Green, of New York.

LOCAL CONTESTS.
Two Filed in 1opkinsVilIe and
One in Pembroke.

Notices Of contest have been filed
by the defeated Democrats in two
of the wards of Hopkinsville. One
ofthese was filed by J. d. Ware
against J. S. Fritz, in the Second
ward. Mr.. Ware was defeated by
only ? votes and he alleges that
his opponent is ineligible from not
having been in the ward SIX months
prior to the election.
The other contest is by J. r.
Wall against e. NJ. Flack in the
Sixth ward. Mr. Wall alleges that
at the time of his election his OPP
ponent held two other civil Offices
Census Supervisor and Asylum
Commissioner-which under section
8 OF the Charter rendered him in
eligible for Councilman.
These contests will have to come
before the new Council which goes
into Office Dec. 4.
]. e. Jackson, who was defeated
by ]. M. McGlothlin for Marshal of
Pembroke by ? votes, has filed
contest upon the same grounds
urged in his protest before the
election commissioners, that the
election in one precinct was not by
secret ballot, as the stubs were left
on the city ballots. Unless there is
a provision for settling contests in
the charter of Pembroke, the mat
ter will come before the Election
Commissioners.

AT FRANKFORT.
Republicans Uneasy At The
Prospect of an Injunction.
Realize That Two Can Play at
The Game-BradIey
Will Weaken.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 27-There
is a general impression outside that
some important move is to be made
by the Goebel side early this week,
and 1t is generally supposed that
a mandatory injunction suit to pre-
vent the state election board from
counting the vote of Jefferson, Knox
and Johnson counties will be part
of it, though this is not confirmed
by any one in authority.
1t is doubtful if Governor Brad
ley would recognize Goebel as gov
ernor il given a certificate of cleo
ton by the state election board un-
less their action was IN obedience
to a ruling of the court. In that
event, it is believed, he would re-
sist no further, but would advise
Taylor to contest before the legis-
lature.
Neither Bradley, Taylor, nor
any of the Republican leaders, how
ever, believe that the court of ap-
peals, in the face of it's decision in
the Nelson county case yesterday,
will grant an injunction, and are
today more confident than ever that
the state election board will give
Taylor a certificate of election.
In Taylor circles it is claimed that
two of the three state commissioners,
Ellis and Pryor, are sure to vote to
stand by the vote in every county
as it appears on the face of the
returns.

GLENN'S FIANCEE
Refuses to Believe That Her
Sweetheart Is Woman.

Hillsboro, H., November Is
Like thunderbolt from a clear
sky came the news to-day that Ell
lis Glenn is a woman-not a man.
The most surprising features about
Glenn S case is that he or she was
engaged to be married to Miss Ella
Dukes, of Butler, a pretty little
town near HillsborO. When ar
rested Glenn was released on bail
furnished by the young lady S
father. When appraised of the
startling development in the cas-
to-day Miss Dukes refused to be-
lieve that her fiancee was of her
own sex. Still, the telegram con-
veying the information proved a
great shock to the young woman.
One OF Glenn's attorneys is Con-
gresham Jett, of this state. To-
day, after her sex became known,
she wired him at Washington if he
would still be her counsel. She
evidently intends to make a fight
for her liberty Pending anything
being done in this respect she will
be sent to the prison at Joliet,

seclusion of a sleepy hamlet. In day

months passed before he dared sp AK
Of his love. Even then he had taken
her by surprise. She had yielded to
his passion, however, and they had
plighted their troth in the rectory gar
den. She was only a child and he was
a man-twelve years her senior, and
rendered grave beyond his years by a
long struggle against adverse circum-
stances.
After that she had gone to London
to visit some friends. They were fash
ionable folk and they had laughed at
her simplicity; they had laughed also
at her big, awkward lover. They
brought her out She met many
men-among them his cousin. He had
made love to her-in a fashion that
was the direct opposite Of her lovers
undemonstrative way-and she had
been dazzled, as a moth is dazzled by a
bright light.
So she had chosen. He had &C
cepted his fate without word. It was
natural that she should care for this
younger man.
Then Craven's friends found him an
easy berth in one of the colonies. .4e
