An incident illustrating the frankness OF
the late Senator Gear of Iowa was related
by Senator Dolliver In his memorial ad-
dress on the life OF his predecessor.
Gear was a candidate for congress. The
prohibition sentiment was running high
in his district, and the temperance peo-
pie concluded to put the candidate through
an examination. They held a meeting. to
which they invited MIR. Gear. lie accepted.
The chairman Of the meeting was a quaker
I'VE learn" said the quaker to Mr.
Gear. that thee dost not belong to any
temperance society. and that thee dost take
a drink when II pleases thee"
THAT is true" replied Mr.. Gear without
any hesitation.
Thee are very frank" said the Quaker.
and they frankness Is more to be COM
mended than thy habits. We do not think
thee ought to drink, but II thou hadst lied
to us we would not have supported thee
Thee will now receive our votes"
And Mr.. Gear did get their votes. lie

Servant Girl Left a Fortune.

Wichita, Kan, May 23.-Wrapped
in a stocking and seereted in trunk
were $4,000, the savings of Eliza
Kearnes, cook for private family,
who died apparently without rela-

BODY was to have been buried to-day
in the potter's field, but the money
was accidentally found this after
noon. There will be large funeral
tomorrow.
From certain papers found in the
trunk it is thought that a similar
amount will be found among the
dead woman's effects. The probate
court this evening appointed Newton
Garst administrator of the property.
The woman had lived here for sew

known as to her antecedents. Peo-

are of the opinion that the woman
was living under an assumed name
which she adopted to avoid her hus-
