IT CURED HIM.
Prof. Rowe no Longer Finds it Advisable
to Walk With his Hands in his Pocket.

A letter has been received from the
Rowe-A11en party, now travelling
abroad, which will be of great interest
to the friends of the genial professor
in this city, It will be. remembered
that Mr.. Rowe had a great habit of
putting his hands in his pockets and
few can remember him in any other
attitude than swinging down the street
in that old English swagger, with just
touch Of the colonial, with his hands
buried deep in his trousers pockets.
But this all has been forgotten and the
friends of Mr.. Rowe say that he rarely
puts his hands in his pockets any more.
The cure of course was very effect
ua1 one. AS soon as Mr.. Rowe reached
Naples he sauntered out for a walk
and down went the hands into the
pockets. Before he knew it he was the
central object of a gang of beggars,
which completely surrounded him.
The professor was overawed by his
popularity, but he phi1osophical1y be-
gan to study the cause and soon deter
mined, after a number Of similar expe-
riences that the fact that he put his
hands in his pockets awakened MEM
cries in the minds of the beggars and
caused them to flock about him. A
scheme was at once proposed to save
the family wallet and Mrs. Rowe was
called upon to sew TIP all the openings
to the trouser pockets. It was des-
perate means, but absolutely necessary
to prevent bankruptcy. OF course the
other members of the party accepted
the new fashion of closed pockets in
the trousers and now it is hailed as the
latest prevailing New York style.

Miss Mamie Craney Receives Damages
From the Northwestern r. R.
Miss Mamie Craney, daughter of
Jeremiah Craney, of the town of Paris,
who together with her sister was
badly injured in a railway accident
here last summer, has made a settle
ment of her claim with the company.
According to the settlement the
company agrees to pay the young lad
$500 in cash, and to furnish a pass on
their lines for the use of the father
and sister and Miss Craney. The
settlement, it is stated, was reached in
the way of compromise.
The accident has proved to be very
expensive one to the company. The
young ladies were driving to the city
on a day last summer, and as they
were attempting to pass the Park
street crossing they were run down by
a train on the switch track. Both the
ladies suffered injury and it was many
weeks before Miss Mamie was able to
be out of the house. AS soon as pos
sib1e the company suggested a settle
ment. All damages and doctors bills
resulting from the accident were
promptly paid, and the company paid
Miss Dora Craney small damages last
summer.
IT is said that the settlement of the
case cost the company a little over
81, 500.

NO MEN FROM KENOsHA.
Kenosha Union Men Refuse to go to Chi
cago to Take the Places of Strikers

For the past two days representatives.
of the Chicago contractors have been
in Kenosha making an effort to secure
men in this city who will go to Chi
cago to take the place of striking
members of the different Unions.
Thus far the journey of the represen-
tatives of the contractors have been in
vain and they left this afternoon for
Waukegan. The union men of Keno
sha had been advised, in advance, of
their coming and little or no attention
was paid to the overtures made by the
Chicago men. Of course the men
offered large wages, but they were
honest enough to state that the men
would be laid off as soon as the trouble
was settled. This was not very fiat
tering bait and with lots of work as
sured in Kenosha it is hardly probable
that any of the workmen here will &C
cept the offer. The contractors have
sent similar agents to Racine and Mil
waukee and all along the line but the
same report is received from all these
points and no men are hurrying to
Chicago to accept the places of the
strikers for a week or two. AS much
as we would like to see the strike in
Chicago settled it is not right that the
Kenosha 1aborers should be asked to
make this sort of a sacrifice.

WANTS TO BE FREE.
Married Life of Capt. W r Drannan Proves
TO be of Very Short Duration

Capt. w. F. Drannan, government
scout and friend of Kit Carson, had
htrry-up call to Chicago last evening
to answer summons, which had been
filed in the Superior Court by his wife
Hattie S. Cooper Drannan, who de-
mands an immediate divorce from the
hero of the wild west. Capt. Drannan
cago when he came to this city, but
did not state that there had been any
family trouble that caused him to leave
his better half behind.
In her petition, which was filed in
the Superior Court of Chicago yester-
day, Mrs. Drannan says that her hus-
band deceived her and stated at the
time of his marriage that he was very
wealthy and he owned several large
ranches in Idaho. She also says that
she placed large amount of money
into the exchequer of her hero husband
but now she discovered that he had not
bit of property in the world, except
his reputation as a great scout, and a
book which he has recently placed on
| the market.
The wedding seems to have been
worked up by the friends of the cap
tain and was of a sensational nature.
They met through a matrimonial
agency, and when the captain came tc
Chicago he agreed to carry out his
part of the contract and marry the girl
OF course the captain denies all the
allegations made against him in the
complaint of his wife for divorce. Hl
left for Chicago last evening and will
fight the divorce proceedings in the
court.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
Remains of John MOhr, a Well
Known Resident of the North Side,
Taken From The River.
THOUGHT TO BE ACCIDENTAL

Mohr Had Been Employed at the Tannery
for Some Time and was Missing From
His Usual Place at Three O'Clock Last
Friday Afternoon-No Trace of His
whereabouts Until the Body Was Found
by the Life Saving Crew.
The 1ife1ess body of John Mohr, a
well known citizen cf the North side,
and a former enp1oye OF the Allen
tannery, was removed from the river
near the tannery Saturday noon. The
cause of his death is shrouded in rnys-
terry, but it is supposed to have been
the result of an accident. The body
was recovered by two of the members
of the Kenosha life saving crew who
had been sent to drag the river.
Mohr was about so years of age and
lived with a wife and five children at
his home on Broad street. For some
time he had been employed at the tam
merry and Friday he was at work as
usual. In the evening when the time
came for closing up the buildings 1t
was noticed that Mohr was not among
the 1aborers. His clothes still hung
on the accustomed peg in the work
room and fears were at once expressed
as to his whereabouts. There was no
reason to suspect that Mohr had met
with an accident, but the case was at
once reported to the police and a
search was made for the missing man.
When the employees who worked with
Mohr were questioned it developed
that Mohr had left the shop shortly
after 3 O'Clock to go to the water
closet. This was the last seen of him
until the body was taken from the
Shiny waters of the river by the life
savers Saturday morning.
The remains were at once turned
over to the County Coroner and were
removed to the morgue on Market
street. A coroner's jury was SUM
moned and brought in a verdict that
the deceased had come to his death by
drowning in the river. The evidence
produced at the inquest seemed to in
dictate that the man had been dazed in
some manner and thinking that he was
walking into the water closet he
walked off the docks into the water.
He was wearing pair of heavy boots,
and encountered by these and by the
terrible stencil of the water he was not
able to either call for help or to assist
himself in getting out of the water.
There is positively no reason 10 be-
1ieve that Mohr took his own life. He
was in the best of spirits and had
been living a happy and contented
life. Recently he had built himself
new home on Broad street and it is a
strange irony of fate that after years
of labor for his wife and children to
secure home he is called away just
as his dream was realized. The wife
was completely Frustrated by the sad
death of her husband and has the SYM
pathy of the entire city in this, their
great bereavement.
Mohr had lived in Kenosha for
many years and was well known in all
parts of the city. He was an active
member in the Catholic Order of For
esters and was an influential member
of the German Workingmen's society.
In each of these orders he carried in
surance for the benefit of his wife and
children.

Special to the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, April 26.-The
Democrat tomorrow will print the fol-
lowing important polite news:
Hon. Andrew Edmiston says posi-
lively that he will mo- be a candidate
for Governor and that his name will
not go before the Democratic State
Convention. He authorizes the Demo-
crat to make this statement and says
it is final. His decision will be re-
ceived with regret by his friends
throughout the State, and particularly
by the people of this county, irrespec-
tive of party utilization. No man stands
higher or nearer to the people Of Lewis
county than Andrew Edmiston, and we
re-assert that his decision will be re-
ceived with profound regret by the
people of this county. 1t is no exag-
geration to say he could have carried
his home county by a thousand ma
jority, and the Democrat believed him
the strongest nan the party could have
placed al the head of the ticket. In
reply to the direct question as to his
probable chance for h Democratic
nomination for Governor he said: I
am not a candidate for the nomina-
ton, and never have been. l appre-
ciate all the kind things that have
been said with reference to my avail
ability as a candidate and am CRATE
full to my friends throughout the State
for the unsolicited support which has
been proffered me. 1t is to these friends
that I feel that l owe the announce
ment that l could not at this time ac-
cept the nomination even if it were
rendered me. / am not ungrateful nor
unappreciative, and this decision is
final, and my name will not go before
