FOUND DEAD IN WELL.
Body of Nettie Hoskins Discovered
Near keosauoua This Morninu,


Near keosauqua This Morning.
Keosauqua, Aug 21-The body of
Nettie Hoskins, maiden lady about
40 years of age, was found in the well
on her adopted fathers farm, four
miles west of Keosauqua about II
O'Clock this morning. The lady was
missed from the house about O'Clock
this morning, and her adopted father,
Harrison Hoskins, Immediately in
stituted search for her, resulting in
finding the body as above stated. 1t
has not been determined whether the
death was suicidal or accidental. The
former view is gaining ground be-
cause of the fact that her adopted
mother died few weeks ago, and
Miss Hoskins may have taken her life
thru dependency. A coroner's jury
will inquire into the matter this after
noon.
Keosauqua, Aug. 22.-(Special)-
The coroners inquest held over the
body of Nettie Hoskins developed the
following facts. Miss Hoskins, VINO
was niece of Harrison Hoskins, had
lived with her uncle and aunt since
early womanhood. She was an Or
phan.
Some years ago she showed suicidal
tendencies in times of dependency,
and at one time attempted to take
her life by hanging. Her aunt's
death some weeks ago and the hard
work of waiting on her aunt for weeks
before her death seems to have made
her unusually Respondent, and her
relatives have endeavored to keep
close watch of her movements. Last
Friday she was discovered in the at
tic of the house hid in sort of closet.
On Monday morning little girl
fourteen years of age was left with
Miss Hoskins to help her with the
work and keep her company, while
the men pursued their usual labors
about the farm. To get rid of the
little girl Miss Hoskins sent her to
the orchard for some apples, and du.-
ing her absence the Respondent wom-
aal went across the road to the old
Gibson home which was tenantless,
and jumped into cistern which was
nearly full of water
Search was Immediately instituted
upon the girls return from the or
chard, and the body found and re-
covered at II o'clock. The funeral
will occur at Q o'clock today, and will
be largely attended, as Miss Hoskins
had the love of large number Of
neighborS and friends.

of the diocese of Leayenworth, today
sent out to all the deans of the diocese
a letter inclosing his recent order rela-
tive to members of the Catholic church
joining the Modern Woed1nen and Mac

The Introduction reads as follows:
VERY Reverend Dear F'ather:-Please
make known to the priests of your
deanery that the right reverend bishop,
on examination, has found that the So
cieties of the Modern Woodmen and
Maccabees are, in his opinion. societies
which no practical Catholic is allowed
to join. or remain a member thereof.
He desires the priests of his diocese to
keep the faithful in their charge from
entering them"
The Introduction viii be read in the
Cathedral here next Sunday. There is
much opposition to the bishops ruling
and it will certainly work a hardship on
the Catholic members of the orders
should they obey it. The two lodges
have a hourishing membership here, a
large number of whom are Catholics.
Many of them say they Will not give up

To the Editor of the State Journal
Dear OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Col. COul-
ter's defense, the G. A. R. pension bill is
a very unfair and unjust law. A vet
eran who receives $40 a month for any
specific disability, can get no more, if
he has other severe disabilities. The
law only applies to those who receive
$12, or less Why this impartiality? An
old veteran of four years service, is en-
titled to pension on all his disabilities,
as much as short term soldier under
the 1890 law. Can Col. Coulter explain
this satisfactorily?
