SPEECHES BY SMITH AND HAY.
AT the conclusion of the Presidents ad-
dress the Grafton Of the day was delivered
by Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith. Mr.. Smiths eloquent tributes to the
character and services of both Lincoln and
Douglas and his "reminiscences of old days
in the Illinois political arena were much
appreciated by the immense crowd of listen
ers. some Of whom had been among the
audiences which, in 1858, witnessed the
polemic warfare between the great emanci-
pator and the champion Of popular SOW
ereignty. The postmaster general said in
concluding his address:
The great lesson of Lincolns matchless
career and service Is that he bravely ac-
Sspted the duty which came TO him and fol-
IoWed where its mandate led. He himself
SAID ne dld not control events but events
controIled him. he was great enough to see
their import and move forward with their
requirements. He fought the extension OF
slavery save but had no purpose to interfere

came his sole object was TO save the Union,
but as events unfolded and commanded ne
proclaimed emancipation. He did not seek
10 force the decree of destiny but when IL
was revealed by the uplifted curtain he had
President to-day, he would maintain the
honor of the flag, uphold the dignity of the
Nation and advance its high mission OF
liberty. humanity and civilization, as his
faithful successor is doing. His example
and his inspiration live for ALL time The
appreciation OF his great personality and his
true historic grandeur increases as we gain
the juster perspective Of distance, and the
Sanctity OF his memory will deepen in the
hearts Of his countrymen as the sublimtty OF
his service and the mystery Of his martyr.
dom become more and more the loftiest
legend OF our national story.
Secretary of State Hay, who spoke next,
concluded with these words:
together. over all its immense extent, by the
bonds OF common interests and fraternal
love. And, In this day of peace and union,
II is worth while TO remember that in that
great controversy which was opening here
so many years ago. 1t was a Northern man
who sustained the Southern side and a
Southern man who sustained the Northern
side. both Of them Americans I'm mind:
heart and soul-both passionate lovers OF
their country, devoted TO its good proud
of its greatness and loyal to its flag to the
last drop of their blood"
At the conclusion of the exercises shortly
before noon the presidential party boarded
the train for Chicago.

HEApLESS CORPSE FOUND
At Oklahoma City Head Found
Lzter-NOt Vet Identified.

Oklahoma City, o. T., Aug. 5.-The Ok
lahoma City Tmes-Jourial says: The
headless body of a man was found AT 10
O'Clock this morning in the river about 100
yards below the first bridge above the
waterworks pumping station. The body
was discovered by the F1lson boys, who
were passing down the river in a boat.
They notified the sheriff and thirty min
utes later Sam BartelI was on the ground
and brought the body 20 the north shore,
where Coroner Sattertield eampaneled a
jury and took evidence as to the cause of
death. AS yet there Is no clue to the
murder. The body Is that OF imam Of
80 or IS years of age. He was partially
undressed,' having on shirt, undershirt,
drawers and socks The shirt was neg
iligees worth about so or 70, cents. the I'M
dershirt is cheap knit, and the socks
black 15-cent: ones. The Appearances indi-
cate that the person had been living in
moderate circumstances but had not been
doing heavy manual labor. The body
gave evidence Of a fair complexion and
sandy hair. Around the feet was secure
ly tied rope. drawing the feet together,
and with the feet was tied a piece of
rag carpet about eight feet long. The
end of the carpet was fastened to the
fest while the other was swinging loose.
Some who viewed the body believed that
the carpet was used to absorb the blood
while others believed the carpet had con-
tained a heavy weight, and that after be-
ing thrown into the river the one end
became loosened and let the weight out.
There was evidence that the body had
been hauled from the city in a light one
horse buggy to the bridge. where It was
dumped into the river. 1t is claimed that
tracks could be seen going down the
steep hanks on the south side Of the
bridge, and there were also said to be
blood spots on the grass. But no one
offers any good reason why the murder
ers did not throw the body from the
bridge. There was no mark OF any char
aoter on the body, and there was every
appearance Of good health. The sever
ing OF the head appears to have been ac-
compHshed wfch a sharp knife after
death, as the neck was not hacked. and
the bones were unjOinted. On the inner
side Of the shirt collar were three ini-
tials. "A. J. E. but a canvass OF the
laundries has failed to discover such a
person having work done in town. The
people living near the bridge say they
heard a vehicle drive 10 the bridge at II
o clock last night and return a few min
utes later. A buggy was heard TO leave
the city about the same time. II is quite
probable that the murder was committed
in some private house, as the rag carpet
is not likely TO be found in use about a
public resort.
Later-About 3 O'Clock the head of the
man was found just below the bridge
where the body was thrown In. The
head was in a FELLOWSHIP. The man wore
a light sandy mustache. The man had
been shos in THE back of the head. the
bullet coming out in the middle of the
forehead.

HRS. stones SUICIDE
Took Strychnine in the Pres
ence of Husband and Son.
TROUBLE IN THE FAMILY
Arose Over Divergent Ideas
of Money Spending.

Guthrie. o. T., Aug 5.-The Manchester
journal has the following account of the
suicide Of Mrs. Stone, near that place:
Mrs. Christina Stone, wife of Dorsey B.
Stone, committed suicide at their home
one mile south of Manchester. on Tues
day evening by taking strychnine. She
took the deadly poison about o'clock p.
m, in the presence of Mr.. Stone and her
son. John Stinebrink. Mr.. Stone did
what he could to prevent her taking it,
but to no avail. Young Stinebrink went
for a doctor but his mother had died
about SHUTDOWN, before the doctor arrived.
Mrs. Stone was formerly Mrs. Stinebrink.
a widow about So years old and the
mother of several grown children. She
was married to Dorsey B. Stone, a
widower about 20 years old, only Q few
months ago. After their engagement, but
not marry her because, as he said, ''She
didn't love me. and is marrying me for
my money" He afterwards changed his
mind and they were married. 1t was only
a short time until they began to quar-
rel and they each gave their story TO
the public. Stone Is considered quite
misery and she accused him Of failrue
to provide sufficient for them to eat.
while he in turn accused her of extrava-
gance and wastefulness. Their Quarrels
have been public property for some time.
Tuesday they agreed to separate and a
written contract was made whereby Stone
was to give her SO. she to leave and
make him no further trouble. When the
contract was being written she said she
would sign anything they wanted her to-.
but afterwards would do what she had
in mind. evidently having at that time
made up her mind to commit suicide. Her
remains were buried Wednesday noon in
the Manchester cemetery. Stone is a
penstoner. and although not at all
wealthy. has plenty to keep him in COM
fort without the tender care of help
mate, hence, with his recent experience
before him, we never again expect to see
him a standing candidate on the matri-
monial market"
