KoIomo Republican, Who Recently
Declared Fealty to Bryan.

Special to Tire Indianapolis Journal
KOKOMO, Ind, Nov. 2.-Yesterday when
F. W. Freeman of this city, started to the
Democratic barbecue at Peru his wife tried
to dissuade him, saying she had vision,
the night before, in which she saw him
brought home q corpse. Mr.. Freeman,
who heretofore has been Republican and
who held the office of postmaster several
years, but recently pronounced for Bryan,
was advertised for speech at the gather
ing and went, over his wifes protest she
bidding him farewell, declaring he would
be brought home dead. Mr.. Freeman made
two speeches from a street platform at
the barbecue and the unusual exertion was
followed by a stroke of apoplexy. The
!nanimate body was pronounced lifeless
by physicians ON its arrival here on the
midnight train. Mrs. Freeman had no
warning except her previors cream, but
when the ambulance drove up to the resi-
dence she was standing in the door and
had room prepared in which to lay the
corpse of her husband. When a friend
started to break the news to her she in
terrupted him, saying, Il knew it before
you did"
Late to-day Mr.. Freeman rallied a tri1e,
but lies in q comatose condition. The
physicians think there is a chance for
recovery.

so much notoriety during the great strike

Mr.. Lawrence has been attacked by roor-

flesh and hair was found in bag at Cedar
Lake and medical experts employed by a

he could to unravel the mystery, and short

II to be the head of cat. Now the Demo-

Mr.. Lawrence knew all the time that it
was not a human head, evidently over
looking the fact that to this day doctors
dispute as TO its identity.
Several papers are preparing at the last

CADETS ARE SENT HOME
ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE DISMISSED
FROM CULVER ACADEMY.
They Had Combined to Show Disap-

Revolt i'm Schools History.

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
CULVER, Ind, Nov. 2-One hundred and
five cadets OF Culver Military Academy
were dismissed to-day for combining TO
show disapproval of official action. In
defiance of the regulation forbidding alb
sence from barracks at night, they went
in a body to the train Halloween evening,
to escort two cadets who had been dis
missed. One hundred and fifteen cadets
declined to join the demonstration and re-
manned in their quarters. The others left
the grounds so quietly that their absence
was not discovered until o'clock. when
the officer in charge commenced his in
spection of the barracks. The commandant
of cadets rode Immediately to the depot
and after some disposition 10 defy author
ity on the part of a portion of the cadets
had been quieted, formed the cadets in
line and marched them back to barracks
Before sending them to their quarters the
commandant spoke to them of the serious
aspect of their defiance of authority, COM
menting on the fact that it was the first
time in the history of the academy that
such thing had occurred.
All day yesterday these cadets were kept
under military arrest, but those not con-
cerned in the affair attended duties as
usual. The cadets are, as a body, fine
looking fellows, net one under the army
height of five feet. four inches, and the
finest battalion the academy has had was
sacrificed to discipline to-day.
The announcement was made to the
cadets by Col. A. +. Fleet in chapel this
morning. His remarks were to the effect
that the most important lesson that young
men could learn was absolute subordina-
ton to the constituted authorities and an
adherence of lawlessness, and that the
academy could not sacrifice its power to
teach this lesson if half, or even all, its
cadets had to be dismissed; that it was
with this intention that Mr.. Culver found
ed this institution, and that ii would be
letter that these barracks be given up to
the owls and bats than that they should be
filled with young men whose conduct
would defeat that intention.
The cadets who remained and those who
went acknowledge the justice of the action
taken, and in leaving the academy the dis
missed students have been most quiet anu
orderly. The greater number of cadets
participating in the demonstration doubt
less did so thoughtlessly, but the authori-
ties felt that no exceptions could be made.
Culver Military Academy has the largest
attendance of any military academy i'm the
United States, except the government in
sntutions, and on account of its large wait
ing list after the opening in September
new quarters were erected for the accom-
mediation OF twenty-four additional cadets
