Sudden Death Of Mrs. Ernest NJ urdock.
Evelyn S. Holbrook, youngest daughter
Of Selah 81. Holbrook, was born July II,
1888. Her mother died while she was an
infant and she was brought up by her
aunt, Mrs. Joanna E. Edwards, with great
care and tenderness, which If possible
were increased upon the death Of her own
son and daughter some years since. July
8, 1900, Miss Evelyn, who had grown to
the stature and grace of womanhood, was
married to Ernest Murdoch and continued
TO live with her husband at her aunt's.
Last Saturday she seemed to be in usual
health, though not a strong person, and
ate hearty supper. In the evening she
complained of headache and nausea.
About II o'clock the doctor was called,
and after taking some medicine she seemed
easier and went to sleep, watched over by
her husband and aunt. About o'clock
Sunday morning slight tremor shook her
frame, and before the neighbors could be
called her spirit had fed The gentle mes
senger, which had so often called at that
home, now unexpected, unlimited, bore
away the hope and life of that Preside. 1t
was but little more than one year since
the death of her uncle, Capt. A. P. Ed

Drs. Thomas, Ward and Gillette being
present.
The funeral was held Wednesday at the
UniveIsalist church, Rev. F. T. Kenyon of
Readsboro officiating The Grange, OF
which she was a member, turned out in
full force, and other friends filed the
church to overlooking. The great abund-
ance of flowers and attendance of the peo-
pie showed friendship and respect for the
deceased, and sympathy for the bereaved
ones. Mr.. Murdock's father, two broth.
ers and sister, beside other relatives, we're
present, filling one side of the body of the
church. The burial was in the village

THE STORY DECLARED FALSE.
That Teller is Indifferent to Bryan and J. P.
Jones Has Turned Republican.
(By the Associated Press.)

~A0SONASNSNN -
Chicago, August 22.-At Democratic
National Headquarters today Senator
Jones, Chairman of the National COM
mittee, said:
81 see a story printed in the newspa-
pers this morning to the effect that Sen
ator John p. Jones has followed Senator
Stewart into the Republican camp, and
that Senator Teller, of Colorado, is show
ing the greatest Indifference to the Bry-
an cause. l happen to have some def
mite information concerning this matter
and 1 pronounce both reports absolutely
without any foundation. Senator j. p.
Jones has been entirely consistent in
his views and actions for twenty-five
years and he is heartily enlisted in the
fight for the Democratic party and for
Mr.. Bryan this year. We rely upon him
implicitly AS for Senator Teller we are
in constant correspondence with him and
l can say that there is not man at the
National headquarters or in the Demo
cratic party who manifests greater solic-
itude for Mr.. Bryan's election and who
has worked harder to accomplish it than
has Senator Teller"
Senator Jones also said:
81 notice a report that Mr.. Carnegie
is going to return from Scotland and
make some speeches for Mr.. Bryan and
Stevenson. This information was given
out by the Anti-ImperialiSt League at
Boston. 1 have no personal knowledge of
the matter. 1t may or may not be true.
There has been no communication with
Mr.. Carnegie on this subject on the part
of the Democratic National committee. y

l recognized Senator Murphy as the polit-
ical leader of this State, and l still claim
that he is the leader. AS the political
leader of the State he is going to estab-
lish himself in the Hoffman House lie

would have it appear that l am trying
to be State leader. l never claimed 10

Murphy as State leader"
After Mr.. Croker had made this state
ment Murphy said:
81 am here to cooperate with the State
committee in the election of William Jen-
nings BRYAN. / have done it for the

Germans For Bryan,
New York WORLDLY

Bernard Meyborg, Secretary of the
Plattdeutsche Volksfest Verein, which
has 10000 members i'm this city, has made
a person al canvass among the members
as to their standing on national and State
issues. There are $4,000 Plattdeutsche
voters in Greater New York. To a
World reporter Mr.. Meyborg said yester-
day, after saying that he did not speak
for the association:
-Four years ago the majority OF the
Plattdeutsche called themselves Gold
Democrats and voted for Mr.. Mckinley.
The 16 to / issue was against their prin-
ciples. The Germans, and particularly
the North Germans. or Plattdeutsche, to-
day are pronounced nti-imperialists. We
realize that 16 to 1 is dead. The issues
have changed completely. I know that
a very large portion of those who voted
for Mr. Mckinley four years ago will
vote for Col Bryan. Anti imperialism is
the most important question at issue"

New York, August 22.-Now that the
attorneys for Charles f. w. Medley,
formerly Cuban agent for the Postoffice
Department, has filed an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court and as
their client cannot be taken to Cuba
pending the appeal, it is learned from
Neeley's petition for write of habeas
corpus that his counsel has sworn that
he believed the United States Govern
ment had made arrangements for the
placing of the petitioner on board an
army transport for immediate transport
tation to Cuba, as soon as the necessary
order for extradition had been signed
and the accused man secured and placed
aboard ship. This plan, counsel asserted,
was to prevent the petitioners from APP
plying for a writ of habeas corpus.
