OBJECTIONS TO

Columbus.

To the Editor of ws-oemocrat.
Dear Sir: Some time ago when the
proposition was before cphnci! to grant
the privileges of the city to q new tel
ephone company it was stated by par
ties who were interested that two sys
tens would prove unsatisfactory.
Such is the case and an edit, i .al clip,
ped from the Press-Post of &c Ilumbus
is evidence that these statements werf.
true.
Columbus has two telephone system,
which the people doubtless think is
worse than one. However that may be
the city authorities there do. aryi they
concluded that the keeping up Of two
systems was an imposition or the tax
payers. So the old reliable Bell
phones are retained and the new com.
pany's are ordered out. In referring
to the matter the Press Post under the
head Of Director Immel nrunes Well -
says:

Director Immel deserves, and he Ger.

Widow Of The Late Columbus T. Walker And Her
Sister Found Starving to Death.
TRUNKS FULL OF FINERY IN The HOUSE
Has Made No Effort Apparently Dispose Any Goods
and Secure Needed Means Of Subsstence--Takent to
AAjtman Hospital Miss Frazer, the Sister,
in . Serious Condition Had Been III.

Officers of the law entered the home
of Mrs c. T. Walker al 200 West South
street at 10 o'clock Friday morning and
found Mrs. Walker and her younger
sister, Miss Elizabeth Fraser, in dying
conditions for the want of food. The
younger woman has been i'll for months
and may die. Mrs. Walker is emaciat-
ed almost past recognition and when
found was so weak that she could
scarcely walk.
She refused to admit the officers, who
finally entered by force and summoned
medical assistance at once. When
Mrs. Walked found that the secret 4
her poverty was discovered she totter-
ed up narrow flight of stairs leading
to the second floor of the house and Sc
cured loaded revolver with which
she attempted to
BLOW OUT HER BRAINS,
but in her weakened condition she was
unable to pull the trigger and the gun
was snatched from her hand before she
was successful in accomplishing her
purpose. Later an ambulance was
summoned and both women were re-
moved to Aultman hospital.
The terrible state of affairs at the
Walker home was discovered about .
o'clock in the morning by Deputy Shar-
iff Harvey Zaiser, who called at the
house for the purpose of serving some
official papers. He was refused admis-
sion but saw enough through the screen
door to warrant reporting the condition
of the house to Humane Officer Frazer,
who called soon after with Marshal
BOur and forced an entrance. The Of
ficers did not dream that the investiga-
tion of the house would develop such
an awful condition of things as was
exposed. The front room leading from
the street is not even untidy, but the
other six rooms Of the house are in ii
sickening state Of filth and pollution.
In the east front room of the house the
young FRASER woman was IOunO ly-
ing upon some chairs which had been
placed together so as to form a sort of
bed She was deathly pale and ap-
peared to the officers to be
IN A DYING CONDITION.
This room was likewise in a state Of
absolute chaos. Bottles were strewn
about the floor and filthy rags which
the invalid has used for expectoration
Uttered the space about the improvise
couch. The atmosphere was overpow-
ering.
Mr.. Frazer summoned DR.. E. d. BraTt
who arrived about 1r'o'clock. He made
a hasty examination of the women and
ordered them removed to the hospital
at once. Before the ambulance arriv-
ed the doctor questioned Mrs. Walker
closely as to the condition of her sister
and the treatment she had received
She declared that she had given her no
drugs except migraine tablets. Mrs.
Walker expressed the belief that Miss
Fraser was suffering from pneumonia
and said that she had expected her to
grow better from day to day.

of them would have been anxious to
help you IL they had only known"
Shilling's ambulance in response to
the summons, reached the house about
II o'clock and both women were placed
within and taken TO the hospital, where
they were given immediate attention
The house was locked by the marshal
who will have charge Of 1t while the
women are retained.
The officers made more careful ex-
animation of the house after the depar-
ture of the women and found a verit-
able horde of
FEMININE FINERY
in one of the upstairs rooms. This was
the room in which Mrs. Walker Is said
to have attempted her own life after
the entry of the officers. In it there
are nine trunks, several of which arc
large ones such as used by travelling
men. All of these trunks are filed and
crowded down with expensive fabrics
and laces. handsome gowns and beauti-
full lingerie. The assortment was
roughly estimated by one of the officers
to be worth $4,000. The women had
been actually starving surrounded by
wealth.
In the upper compartment of one Of
these trunks was loaded revolver.
When Mrs. Walker climbed feebly up
the stairs soon after her plight was dis
covered she secured this gun and was
attempting TO pull the trigger whel
j. B. Gravis, who had followed her UP
the stairs. entered the room and wres.-
ed the revolver from her nerveless
hand.
Mrs. Walker IS the widow of DIR. G
r. Walker, a well known Canton prac-
titioner whose death occurred in this
city about four years ago. Some years
prior to his death the first wife of the
doctor
OBTAINED A DIVORCE
from HIM on the grounds of neglect.
Miss Fraser, who was afterwards the
second Mrs. Walker, was living with
DR.. Walker in the capacity Of domestic,
or housskeeper. It. is alleged that the
trouble between the doctor and his
first wife arose through the presence
in the house of this woman. At any
rate not great while after Mrs. Walk
er had obtained her divorce the doctor
married Miss Fraser with whom he
lived until the time of his death. The
young woman who was found with
Mrs. Walker in the house, Friday
came from England, about two years
ago. she is 21 years of age and is said
TO have been very beautiful before her
illness. 1

ASTHMA CAN Be CURED.
A Noted Physician Will Prove
This to Sufferers In Akron.
Thursday.

The astonishing statement that Asth-
ma can be cured, coming from so well
known authority rs Dr.. Rudolph
Schiffmann, will be of interest to asth-
ma sufferers. The experience of most
Asthmatics has been that little If any
relief has been afforded them by the
methods heretofore employed. and, in
fact, the disease has up to now been
regarded as incurable. This noted
physician has, however, after a life
long study of Asthma and kindred
diseases, discovered a remedy which
not only instantly relieves the severest
cases of Asthma, Hay Fever and Bron-
chitis, but has actually cured thous-
ands whose cases had been pronounced
incurable. So complete Is DR.. Schiff-
mann's confidence in his remedy that
he requests this paper to announce that
all day Thursday, Sept. 10th, he offers
liberal sample box Of "Schiffmann's
Asthma Cure" free of charge to all
persons applying at II. Steinbacher g.
Co.'s drug stor,, 1O4 Il. Market St
DIR. Schiffmann believes that an ac-
tual test will be the most convincing
and IN fact the only way to overcome
the natural prejudice OF thousands of
Asthmatics who have heretofore
sought relief In vain. Persons living
out of town will receive package free
by writing direct to DIR. r. Schiff-
mann, $40 Jackson Street, st. Paul,

and as citizen and gave
expression TO the sorrow and the grief
that is the share of the people.
Judge Kohler, who followed him de-
scribed McKinley's life from boyhood
to the time of his death, the many
excellent qualities that cndeared him
to the Americans as citizen, as a
husband and as IN executive. He
told of the simplicity OF the President
in death and of the occasion on which
the people of Akron had met Mr..
Mckinley in the past.
"The practice of the newspapers, of
carlcaturing the chief executive of
the nation" said Judge Kohler, ito

merchandise, should be stopped"
Rev. G. II. Keller spoke of the Pres.
ident as the Christian and of the
influence that his deeply religious
spirit had had on the events Of life
that was crowded full of incidents and
greatness.
Music was furnished by the choir
of the church and by musicians from
the churches from whose congrega
tions the meeting was made up.
The meeting was characterized by
the deep hush and the feeling of sor
row at the death Of the President and
with sense Of horror at the name,
of his death.

essence of patriotism and eloquence.
and so greatly was the audience NOV
ed by his stirring words that the sa
cred place resounded with applause.
Judge Tibbals said in part: $50
many of us in this congregation per-
sonally knew the President. We honor
him not only as President, but as u
neighbor, as a personal friend. We
know he was the same man in the
presence Of his dear wife as he was in
Congress. He was lover Of his wife
and venerated his aged mother. We
should like to know why ne has been
taken away. His friends needed him
his country needed him. During the
struggle of the Civil War this man
left his father and mother and enter
ed the army He made u record Of
which we may well be proud. He
went to Congress when young man.
He endorsed ana nd. framed ra policies which
he believed We're for the benefit of all
the people of this country. AS pri.
vate Individual he was pure In char
acter; q Christian in religion. AS
President he served In more trying
times than any since the great Lincoln.
In the late war all the states Of the
leys call He reunited and harmonized
all states under one flag. In n few
days our martyred President will be
lying In his grave. What shall we do
TO prevent the murder of our Presi-
dents? He was administering the du-
ties Of his office when struck down.
That vile wretch did not hate McKin-
ley with personal hate. He had an
other object. He struck at the peo-
ple-the nation,-which the President
had helped to save. His blow aimed
at the constitution. Shall we tolerate
it? 1t is true we shall hang or elec-
trocute him. But, my fellow citizens
is that the end? 1t Is the duty of every
true citizen to aid In crushing down
this Anarchism that strikes at our
country. When man strikes ut his
country he must forfeit his life. If a
man utters i am glad that the Pres
ident is dead that is treason, and
should be punished by death. Any
man should be put to death who utters
one word or strikes blow against that
glorious flag" [Applause.l

Il have personally made several

There is really nothing to choose be-

"Lugo and oxide Of zinc appear to
