BEHIND THE BARS.
The Men who Passed the Bogus
Check Caught.

Thursday the Marshal of Hop
kinsville brought man to the
city answering the description OF
the fellow who swindled Mrs Ca
meron out of fifty dollars by get
ting her to endorse a check which
afterwards proved to be fraudu-
lent. Mrs. Cameron identified him
and cashier Yandell, of the Marion
Bank, said he was the man that
presented the check. The accused
stoutly denied that he was guilty,
said il was a case of mistaken iden-
tity, and claimed that he could
prove that he was not in Marion
on the day the check was cashed.
He gave his name as Edwards.
He said that he knew Collector
Ed Franks and Judge Clifton j
Pratt, and could prove by them
| that he was in Greensboro. Elk
Judge Pratt was telegraphed. lie
knew nothing of the man. Mon.
day Mr.. Dunn. hotel keeper OF
Guthrie, KY, came to this city and
identified Edwards as the man who
beat him out of fifty dollars in the
same way. So Edwards now has
two charges against him. He ap'

LADY TEACHER
On Trial for Whipping a Scholar
Acquitted.

Saturday Miss Lura Wood, a
daughter of Mr.. Will Wood, of
the Piney neighborhood, was ar
raigned before Judge Rochester
on the charge of chastising a
young son of George w. Phelps,
in a most cruel manner. The trial
resulted in a verdict for the fair
defendant. The jury was unani-
mously in favor of acquittal. The
evidence showed that the boy rich
ly deserved the whipping, which
was by no means severe. He re-
ceived only six strokes and
left the school singing. Miss Wood
is a popular teacher. She has

Antietam, he was made second lieu
tenant, and the Mahoning county boy
had risen from the ranks. VI
He was now to all intents and pur-
poses trained veteran. He had had
his baptism in blood at Carnifex Fer
nv. He had gone through the West
Virginia campaign and become part
of the magnificent Army of the Poto-
mac under Mcclellan. South Mountain
and Antietam had been made immor-
tai by the bleod of heroes, and the
shoulder straps were worn with due
but not exaggerated realization of the
responsibilities they implied. He be-
came second lieutenant on Sept. "a,
1862. He was promoted to first lieu
tenant Feb. I, 1868. His commission
as captain bears date July 25, 1864.

Her presence time and again served as
an inspiration to her husband. When

Kinley, it was his wife who convinced
him that he should accept. She believ.

service would be for the good of the
state she was certain. She never way

was weak In body merely that she
might be near him. She encouraged
him by word. look and presence, and
he in knightly style returned the ia
vors and reciprocated the sacred affec-
ton. Her home life was short. for out
of the thirty years Of married life more
than twenty four were passed by her
husband in the public service.
Mrs. Mckinley for years has spent
much of her leisure In crocheting those
dainty little slippers which have SO

OF the country. 1t is said that she has
knitted over 5000 pairs of these slip

life. In appearance Mrs. Mckinley is
Of medium height, with brown hair
and large deep blue eyes. Although an
invalid, she was fond Of making and

much for dress, although her toilets
have always been in excellent taste.

to taste Of its pleasures. Her actual
invalidism dates from the birth of her
second child, in 1871. This child died
in its infancy and was followed by the
first child, daughter Of three years,
short time afterward. Mrs. Saxton,
Mrs. McKinley's mother, also died about
this time. These sorrows were more
than she could bear, and she never re-

offered strong opposition. They point
ed out the small rewards that come to
the soldier in time Of peace. At length
he yielded to their persuasions and re-
luctantly gave up his dreams Of mar
tial glory and bent his mind upon the
pursuits of peace. The war had ended
all thought of collegiate career. He
cast about for a profession, and natu-
rally, considering the bent of his mind,
he chose the law. He became student
in the offices of Charles e. Glidden
and David Wilson, then leaders of the
Mahoning county bar. He supplement-
ed his reading by taking the course at
the Albany Law school and in 1867
was admitted to the bar. He located
at Canton, where he formed partner
ship with Judge Belden. ..
He was an excellent advocate, even
in those early days, and maze some Of
the best jury arguments ever heard at
the Stark county bar. At the time he
was first elected to congress he enjoyed

AS a lawyer Mr.. Mckinley was al

Of everybody and soon became particu-

prepared himself by thorough courses
of reading for his public career. He re-
sembled Garfield much in this respect
and possessed elements Of strength by
reason Of his thorough study Of polit-
ical subjects. He seems to have had in
view from the beginning the devotion
Of his life to public service. During all
his early professional years he was an
active participant in Republican cam
paigns and early gave evidence Of the
power he later developed as a public
speaker and orator. The plan Of his
political speaking was always the same.

Long and honorable was the
public career of William McKin-
ley. 1t extended from the time
when, as a mere STRIPPING, he held
sway in log cabin country school
to the tragic moment when, as
chief executive of the nation, he
was felled by the assassin's bullet.
During all that time his record
suffered neither blot nor blemish.
He was tested as a soldier, as
lawyer, as a politician, as a states
man, as the head of the nation.
In each case he stood the test,
In private life he began by be.
ing a manly boy, a dutiful and obe-
dent son. He continued as a
faithful and loving husband, one
whose example has had its good ef'
feet on the national character.
His life was typically American,
the life of an American of the best
type. And through it all he was
a patriot. Above personal ambi-
ton were ever in his mind his
country and his country's good.

STRANGE MEN IN BORNEO.
A Mountain Tribe That Was I'm.
known to Europeans TIL
Very Recently.

A strange tribe has just been discov-
cred in Borneo by DR.. A. w. Meuwen-
huis, the distinguished Dutch explorer.
As he was travelling through the dis
trict of Sarawak he heard from his
guides that at little distance there
was a mountain tribe which no Eu-
ropean or American had ever visited,
and straightway he went thither, and
in day or two found himself at the
headquarters of these unknown abo-
rhymes. At once he saw that they diff
fered from all other natives of Borneo,
and he spent some weeks In acquaint-
ing himself with their curious Gus
toms and also in studying their coun-
try, which is entirely unknown to for
eign travels. In this way he accumu-
lated mass of new material, which
he intends to give to the world at an
early date in the form of book.
This is the second journey which DR..
Nieuwenhuis has taken to central
Borneo. He first went there in 1895,
and explored the sources of the kap-
uas and Mahakkam rivers, after which
he returned to Europe, where he at
once obtained an appointment as di-
rector of the botanical garden at Bui-
tenzorg. In 1899 he went again to
Borneo, intending to thoroughly ex-
plore the interior of the country, and
it is claimed that in this task he has
succeeded better than any previous
traveller.
