HAS SENILE DEMENTIA.
Leavenworth Tailor Is Brought tc
the Asylum.

George Truebel, a tailor of Leaven-
worth, was adjudged insane yesterday
and admission was asked for him
to the Topeka insane asylum. Truebel
is 50 years old and is suffering from
senile dementia, form of insanity re-
sulting from old age. 1t is reported he
was at one timey wealthy. He was the
head Of a happy family until seven
years ago when his wife died.
Having no children or other near rela-
tives Truebel was left alone and friend
less in the world. He brooded over the
death of his wife until he became in
sane over the subject, and he would
spend hours looking for her under the
delusion that she was still alive. With
his mental arrangement came poverty
and for some months past he has lived
in the most Strengthened circumstances
alone and uncared for in his little tailor
shop. His insanity first came to the
notice of neighborS when one day one
of them entered the old mans abode
and found that he had set the coal oil
can full of oil on the stove. Asked his
object in so doing he said that he was
boiling his coffee. Shortly after this
incident occurred Truebel was taken
i'll and sent to one of the hospitals for
treatment The physicians found him
in a most pitiable condition both men
tally and physically and reported the
matter to the authorities. Truebel is
periodically sane and at all times is
perfectly docile and harmless. He has
no means except a small piece of prop
erty which is heavily embarrassed with
hack taxes

SPINNEY is SATISFIED.
President of Bankers Union Says
Combination Will Be Made.

DR.. E. c. Spinney, president of the
Bankers Union of the World, is in To-
peka today. He says that the National
Aid conventions in every state where
they have been held except Nebraska
have endorsed the plan to consolidate
the National Aid with the Bankers I'm
ion. Texas is holding its convention to-
day, and that is the last state to do so.
"Of course we will not get all of Ma
tional Aid members said DR.. Spinney.
Some will go to other orders through
the influence of personal friends, but
the great majority will come into the
Bankers Union as has been recon-
mended by the conventions, except in
Nebraska. In Nebraska, Ex-Governor
Poynter has just organized new or
der and he made a proposition to take
in the Nebraska members alone which
seemed to capture them.
1--WE have just received the books and
assets of the order of the Iron Chain, a
Minnesota order which has consolidated
with the Bankers Union within the
past few weeks. In addition to its mem
bership, this order turned over to US
about $1,000 in assets.
Reports have begun to come in from
the subordinate lodges of the National
Aid in different localities, and nearly all
of them have ratified the Bankers I'm
ion proposition without hesitation"

LAND CLAIM POSTPONED.
The Indi ans Will Have Their Plea
Heard Wednesday.

Washington, Aug. l9.-The hearing
which were to have come up today
before Justice Barnard was postponed
until Wednesday. The controversy
will come before the court on the petit
tions of Percy Xadoka. his wife, Nan
ME Zadoka, Willis G. West, William
G. Williams and others, members of
the affiliated tribes of Kiowa, Apache
and Commanche Indians, asking that
writof mandamus be.issued against
the Secretary of the Interior to com
pei him to confirm or approve certain
allotments of lands to the claimants in
Oklahoma territory.
The petitions for mandamus were
filed on August 8, the day previous to
that fixed by the Secretary of the In.
terror for the opening up of the Kiowa
lands.f settlement,
District Attorney Gould, who APP
peared today for the government, filed
a demurrer to the petitions, in which it
is claimed that the facts set forth do
not constitute a sufficient cause for ac-
tion. 1t is further claimed that the
subject matter is purely one of eXecu-
tive cognizance, resting in the iudg-
ment and discretion of the Secretary
of the Interior: it is also contended
that the petitioners have full and ade.
quate relief without restoring to the
extraordinary proceedings of manda.
mus. 1t is altogether likely that the
count will dismiss the petition.

THE GREAT OIL FIRE
No Hope of Saving Anything of At
lantic Plant.

Philadelphia, August 20. The fire
which begun yesterday afternoon at
the works of the Atlantic Refining
Company, at Point Breeze, in the
southwestern section of the city, is
burning iercely tonight, and Chief
Baxter, of the city fire department
has given up all hope of saving any
of the company's property. The one
hope of the company's officials and
the fremen was in their ability to
pump the oil from the tanks not yet
reached by the flames into reserve
tanks in an isolated section of the
yard. An explosion late this after
noon carried away the pumping ma
chinery and nothing remains now ap-
parently but to permit the conflagra-
ton to burn until all the oil is con-
sumed.
1t is believed tonight that the five
lives lost in the explosion of the big
gasoline tank last night completes the
list of fatalities.

mining companies, looking to a settle
ment of differences between them and
their employees, as presented by the
several committees in session here
since last Thursday, is not at all en-

some of the companies, decline to
come into conference, while others re-
fuse to agree to the basis of settlement
proposed by the miners. National
President Mitchell has been asked to
come here and take a hand, and it
looks very much today as though an

Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Ind
