A LARGE Funeral.

The remains of the late S. Leroy
Graham were laid to rest in the Ottum-
wa cemetery last Sunday afternoon.
The funeral was one of the largest and
most impressive ever witnessed in the
city Of Ottumwa. The secret societies
to which Mr.. Graham belonged turned
out enmasse to. honor his memory.
While there was large line of march,
every detail was handled perfectly and
there was no confusion at any time,
and every part of the sacred ceremony
was carried ont promptly.
The floral offerings We're magnifi-
cent and testified in unspoken words
the regard in which the dead was
held Every lodge p which he belong
ed was fully represented and a close
estimate places the number of secret
society men in line at G45,

SHOT HIS FACE OFF
Keosauqua Man Kills Himself With
Shotgun.
BODY Was FOUND LAST EVENING
Claim is Made That He Was Engaged
to Be Married to Two Women the
Day He ShuffIed Off This Mortal
Coil.

Keosauqua, Sept -(speciaD =
The body Of one Frank w. Smith, who
worked for Captain w. A. Duckworth
as sawyer In his mills here, was dis
covered by Roy Stops lying dead in
the woods on yesterday afternoon at
about o'clock, near the residence of
w. X. Smith, his father,
about one and half miles north of
this place, with double-barreled shot
gun lying by his side, one of the cham
bers of which had been discharged.
The deceased had evidently commit
ted suicide and from the position of
the body and gun it is thought that he
deliberately sat down on the ground
and then shot himself and fell back
wards on the ground as the body was,
when found, lying at full length on the
back, the butt end of the gun between
his feet and the muzzle near the head
The entire charge Of shot entered the
| left side of the face passing upwards,
tearing away the left side of the face
and head and was apparently done at
very close range and it is thought that
he placed the gun against the side of
| his face and discharged it.
| May Have Killed Himself Monday.
1t is thought that he killed himself
on Monday afternoon of this week as
decomposition was very far advanced
and the last seen of him was on the
morning of that day when he left his
| boarding place here in town, taking
with him the gun with which he kill
ed himself, stating that he would re-
turn in the evening. Deceased was
addicted to the use of strong drink to
an excess, and had recently became
very Respondent and had been dis
charged several times by Mr.. Duck
worth on account of inattention to
business and had then been taken bacl,
He was a splendid workman when so.
Der.
Was Engaged to Two Women.
I 1t is also claimed that he was to
have been married on the evening OF
the day on which he suicided and that
| he was engaged to two women, agree
/ ing to marry them both on the same
4 day.
DR.. l.. Morris, coroner, of near Ut
lea, was called and coroner's jury
was selected and an inquest begun last
Ievening which was adjourned after
/ viewing the body and taking some ties
4 timony, until this morning. The cor
oner and jury are now completing the
work of the inquest. The verdict will
doubtless be that deceased came tt
his death by suicide. The body wa.
birued last night.
The deceased was about As year,
old and had worked for W. A. Duck
worth as manager in his sawmills TO
about fourteen years. 1t is claimed

years ago by taking rough on rats"

Hon. A. B. Cummins Speaks at
Charlton Yesterday Afternoon.
OPENS LUCAS COUNTY CAMPAIGN
Democracy Said to Be Badly Democrat
ICED in That Section of the State
Republican Gubernatorial Candidate
Makes a Strong Address.

Charlton, Sept. 26.-Hon. A. B.Cum
minis, republican candidate for COVER
nor, opened the campaign of 1901 for
his party in Lucas county Wednesday
afternoon. In spite of the fact that
heavy rain had fallen early In the
day and that there were races at the
fair grounds, he had a good audience,
the opera house where he spoke, be-
ing comfortably filled and some stand
ing up. His talk was clean cut, mas
terly effort full Of good common sense
and strong arguments, and free from
any abuse of the opposing party. He
talked for nearly two hours and how
interesting his talk proved is demon
strated by the fact that not more than
dozen members of the large audience
left the room before the conclusion of
his address Mr.. Cummins has wide
reputation as an orator and his speech
Wednesday fully sustained that repu-
tation The address showed up the
follies and mistakes of the democrat
party and presented strong arguments
In favor of supporting the republican
ticket. He reviewed the democratic
platform and rehearsed the benefits
derived from four years of republican
rule despite the predictions of the
democrat party in 1896. He
spoke at length on the tariff
and silver mines and touched rather
strongly on state issues praising Gov.
Shaw's administration in the highest
terms. Altogether it was vote get
ting speech and did the party much
good in Lucas county.
Democrats Choose w. B. Campbell.
After nominating one man in con-
vention, who refused to allow the use
of his name for the Office, and search
ing diligently for two days for anoth-
er man with which to fill the vacancy,
and having several prominent men
refuse the offered place, the executive
committee of the democratic party of
Lucas county have decided to put the
name of w. B. Campbell, farmer of
Benton township, on the ticket for the
Office of member of the board of super
visors. There is now no certainty that
Mr. Campbell will run, though his per-
sonal friends say he will allow the
use of his name and would serve If
elected. The democratic party of Lu,
cas- county is badly demoralized and
the re-affirmation of the Kansas City
platform by the state convention has
widened the breach beyond reconcilia
ton. This ! was demonstrated most
plainly in the hard work, by which
they had to secure men to fill places
j on the ticket svq

A Thoroughly Dual Role.

Two wives, two children, two
names, two homes and two jobs. This
is the remarkable record of John ?.
Klein, a printer, which was diclosed
in his trial for bigamy before Judge
Smith, in Chicago, Tuesday, and for
which he was given an intermediate
sentence in the penitentiary and fined
81 and costs. Klein married Mary II.
Panoch of Chicago, a pretty young
woman scarcely more than 20. Two
years later he became infatuated with
Miss Olga Salstruum, who was no less
attractive than her rival. and a few
days before Christmas last year they,
too, were made zone" at Hammond,
Ind. But this time the husband took
the marriage vows under the alias of
John P. Kent
Both wives lived in Chicago. To
Mrs. ''Klein'' were born two children,
little boy and little girl, and they
lived happily at 108 Mohawk street,
although the children often cried for
Papa, when he wasn't there, and
mamma couldn't altogether under
stand why he wasn't there. With
Mrs. ''Kent' the man lived in a mod
est little cottage at 1870 School street,
and although she loved him very
much, she spent much time wonder
ing why he wasn't more at home, for
she could not believe that he worked
day and night for the mere pittance
of $40 a week, a sum which she found
it difficult to live on. All this time,
however, Klein was working himself
to death trying to support both wives.
During the day he was employed in a
north side printing shop. for which he
received a salary of $25 a week. This
he turned over to Mrs. Klein regular
every week. After work he went to
his home in Mohawk street. ate his
dinner, slept few hours. and then
started out with the excuse that he
was negotiating for more work, which
| kept him out most of the night. In
stead he went to another shop, where
| he worked the early part of the night,
and when he had finished there he re-
| turned to the other wife in School
| street, slept a few hours more, ate
| breakfast and started out to perform
| the duties of his day job. Klein kept
| this up for nearly six months, but his
wife who got only SO a week and saw
| her husband but few hours every
day grew suspicious and set out to i'm
vestigate. She trailed him for some
truth
