Joplin. Mo-, Sep. GA sensational
story reached here today from o.
good, village thirty miles northeast
of Joplin, of heart-broken husband
digging up the remains of his wife
after they had lain in the grave and
fondling and caressing the skeleton
with the ardor of lover.
George Hendrickson, a young
farmer, lost his wife six months ago,
shortly after their marriage He
was heart-broken and could not be
come reconciled to his loss. Finally
he went crazy but no one suspected
his condition until last Sunday night
when he went TO his wife's grave
dug up the remains of his dead wife
and was found late at night sitting
on the grave holding the remains
lovingly on his lap
When those who were IN search OF
Hendrickson approached he fed
carrying the corpse in his arms
When overtaken he fought violently
for the skeleton of his wife and had
to be bound before he could be
controlled.
He recently refurnished his house
saying his wife was coming back t.
live with him again. He does no
seem to realize that she is dead, anC
his reason appears to have been com
pletely destroyed by grief.

Tribute to BRYAN.

The Chicago Times Herald, an
intense republican organ, says Of
Bryan:
"rhe same day that Ex-Governor
Hogg was carrying Tammany by
storm with his reference to Bryan,
Mr.. Bryan himself was received with
tremendous enthusiasm both at At.
lanta and GAINESVILLE, Ga. Every
where it is the same story. The man
seems to have suffered not at all in
the esteem of the masses of his fol-
lowers because of his defeat in 1896.
True, he has found in several
states that the democratic party
leaders consider the silver issue a
disasterous one, and in those states
the popular vote would certainly be
hostile to his silver policy but
where ever be goes he meets with
manifestations of an almost fansticaI
personal loyalty. Very few American
politicians have been the object of
such general or intense devotion.
"What, then, will explain this ex-
traordinary phenomenon? 1t may
be referred to a combination of
causes, each potent in its way. Mr..
Bryan has character, sincerity, a
winning personality, intellectual bril-
liancy, eloquence, and the elements
are go mixed in him as to produce
the best possible effect. He is, be-
sides, the leading exponent of q
principle which gives him remark
able influence where the principle is
held, while his character, gifts and
attachments secure him the liking oil
people who regret the principle.
s'At one time there was a very
natural disposition to ascribe hi:
prestige to single speech, but thai
was merely his opportunity. Since
delivering it he has proved hi
powers as an orator many times, anc
has stood the closer scrutiny of tn
public, which is attracted, but no
dominated by oratory.
