TRIES TO RAISE DEAD.
Woman Visits Graves Of Children and
Commands OCCUPANTS to Arise.

Stanton, Neb., May Mrs. Kate
Achels walked into the little country
cemetery where Stanton's dead is
buried and proceeded to a shady spot
where three little graves mark the
resting places of her children, de-
manded that they arise and follow her
home. She is Christian Scientist Of
considerable reputation, and her trip
to the cemetery was in accord with a
promise she made her scientist friends
a few days ago that she could raise
the dead, and on that Saturday she
would give demonstration of bring
ing to life her three children, who had
been dead many years.
The woman called loudly the names
of her dead children, and when the
graves failed to open she repeated her
orders and stamped her feet in rage.
The woman was found by the authori-
ties, but refused to leave the cemetery,
and was forced away. A charge of
insanity has been filed against her,
but she says her reason is good.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Achels was a
delegate to a Christian Science con-
vention in Omaha and spoke to an au.
dience composed of many New York
and Chicago advocates of the faith.

OBITUARY.


The death of Frank Edward Wright
which occurred at his home in this city
yesterday afternoon, came as q great
shock to large part of our communi-
ty. Mr.. Wright was born near Mt.
Pleasant in Henry county, Iowa, on
the 25th day of December, 1871. He \
attended school at Howe's academy,
Mt. Pleasant, and later at Elliott's
Business college at Burlington Iowa.
After finishing his course at the latter;
he came to Ottumwa about eleven
years ago and entered the employ Of
John Morrell & Co., and has occupied
position in the Office of said COM
pany ever since, up to the time of his
death.
He was an earnest consistent mem.
Der of the First M. E. church of this
city, and during the last five years
has been one of its most faithful corps
of ushers. He has been an active
worker in the Epworth League OF said
church during the last two or three
years, and of the Y. M. C. A. during
most all of the time since he came to
Ottumwa.
He was married to Miss Rosamond
Slaughter of this city on May 10, 1900.
His death was caused by disease
of the kidneys, which had been appar-
ent to him for the last four years.
Prior to his marriage he consulted q
physician relative to this trouble, aud
was advised that surgical operation
would probably be necessary at some
time, but that the same would be at.
tended with but little danger. He advis-
ed his wife of the situation, and they
had during all Of their married life
expected that at some time a surgical
operation might be necessary to re-
move the trouble, but did not realize
his serious condition. 1t came sooner
than was expected. When the opera
ton was had, although he had worked
up until the day before the same, it
was discovered that the disease had
already reached fatal condition. His
courage and determined adherence to
his work, and his quiet and pleasant
bearing were such that his most init
mate friends knew nothing of the pain
he suffered at times, nor of the real
condition of his health.
He leaves as his immediate rela-
tives, his widow, and his mother, two
brothers and two sisters, who reside
in Henry County, Iowa.
The funeral will be held at the home
No. 113 Pleasant street, on Thursday
of this week at $3.50 o'clock o. m. DR..
Craig of the First NJ e. church will
officiate. Burial in the Ottumwa Gem.

cent of the population of the United
States-or one person out of every
,000-controls about one-fifth of the
nations wealth. That is, 1898 mil
lionaires out of population a little
in excess of 76,000,000 owns $16,000,-
100000 of the $s1,750, 100000 at which
our entire property is valued.
We have an aristocracy of wealth
that has quite suddenly sprung into
existence. In the first quarter of the
century just closed there were not
more than half a dozen milIionaires in
the land, and two only-John Jacob
Aston in New York and Stephen Gil.
rard in Philadelphia-had sufficient
wealth to make them particularly con.
spicuous.
'The list is given as that of mil.
lionaires as shown by the records
and the generally accepted opinion.
It is explained that the names of some
dead persons are included because the
names stand for estates that were
worth million or more, some Of
which have not yet been settled up.
few more than one-half the names
come from the three states of New
| York, Pennsylvania and Massachu-
sets, and they represent considerably
more than one-half of the wealth at
tributed to this 'Chrysocracy of the
United States
1T is found that 81 per cent of the
millionaires have built their own for
tunes, many from the very bottom,
and o large number ion foundations
laid by fathers or grandfathers. The
millionaires have come from all of the
great industries-19 per cent from
manufacturing, 16 per cent from mer-
chandising, 10 per cent from real es-
tate, 10 per cent inherited, IL per cent
railways and steamships, 10 per cent
banking, per cent mining, per
cent farms and cattle and from all
other industries 5 per cent"

PRIESTS THINK IT A MIRACLE.
Examination Made of "Bieedine" Pic
ture at Marinette, Wis.

y
Marinette, Wis, May AT the reg.
quest of Revs. Cleary and Papon of
Menominee, Mich, Roman Catholic
pastors of the Irish and Polish Cath
Ollie churches, respectively, physicians
made a microscopic examination of
the spots on the bleeding picture. The
doctors were unable to decide by the
microscope whether or not 1t was
blood. They say that a chemical an.
alysis is necessary. Both of the
priests mentioned are inclined to
think that the manifestation is a mi
raculous one The candles are still
kept burning about the picture, and
many people were praying before it.
The fact that two of the priests be-
lieve 1t may prove to be a miracle is
causing many to take the matter more
seriously.
