The Wrong Bodr

Somewhat of a sensation was ere ated at Little Rock upon the arrival in that city of the supposed remains of Lieut.. Rathbun, recruiting officer. who it is alleged died suddenly at A hotel in small town in Indiana Lieut.. Rathbun was recently married to young lady residing in Little Rock. He was ordered to a fort in New York, but secured furlough and wrote his wife that he would shortly arrive to pay her visit Then fol lowed the announcement of his sud den death. A relative accompanied the remains to Little Rock, when the local manager of an insurance com pany in which Rathbun carried s4- 900 insurance asked that an autopsy be held to determine the cause of death. Upon viewing the corpse the agent declared the body in no manner resembled Rathbun. and the matter was reported to the officers. One 9Ouh6 idhy NOluHtetItu lHe lnIOfmd- tion that Rathbun had proposed mar riage to her before he was welded to the first mentioned lady, saying he would insure his life, then have it ap- pear he had met sudden death, and when the insurance was collected they would go away and enjoy the funds. Several parties who viewed the re. mains and who were well acquainted with Rathbun declare the body that of some one else. Some advance the theory that murder has been commit. ted to aid in the scheme to defraud the insurance company. Mrs. Rath- bun has not identified the body as that of her husband

Mekinisy Memorial Fund

The following address to the neon1A VI AFhansas, in connection with the movement for a national monument to tue late President William Mckinley mas been issued:
 No matter what ones political faith may be, all persons must agree that the late William Mckinley, our mar tyrea president, was great and conspic- uous In those tender and cbivalrous virtues which endear leaders and high onlciaIs to their fellowmen. In all that stood for beauty and nobility of character. as a husband. a father A son, a pious, honest and law-abiding eltlzen, his example shines resplen- dent and cannot be surpassed. That example presents an incentive for i'm ltation and copy to all our American youth And eyen his most bitter DO lltleal opponents are bound to testify uhgfudgingly to his greatness and kihdhess as a man and as a patriot. even though they might feel like ques- tioning the correctness of his views.
 Ills pralseWorthy life was cut short by the bullet of the reckless assassin. Thus, without rhyme or reason and without warning, was his life ended and his frail, delicate and suffering Wife bereft of one of the truest, most considerate and solicitous of husbands and of companion whose presence was never wanting in her hours of sui fering. And thus was this glorious country deprived of a loved and solic- itous chief magistrate.
 From all over this land, from all over the civilized globe. testimonials to his character were sent to Canton on the occasion of his funeral, and the emblems of esteem and sorrow which adorned his last resting place counted among them the unsolicited tokens of peer and pauper, of poet and peasant, of friend and political foe.
 For these reasons, and because American youth and manhood, now and hereafter, would set up some last ing monument to the personal esteem in which the lamented William Me Kinley was held by his countrymen and because. too. they would show to those anarchistic spirits who would enthrone riot, license and bloodshed in lieu of government. that no such folly can prevail in this land of or dered liberty and legal freedom, the undersigned, representing the com mittee having the matter in charge appeal to the good people of this com monwealth to respond to the call for funds to erect national monument to the memory of the deceased, William Mckinley. in such sums, however small, as they can afford. without ref erenee to politics or sex And they agree that when the certificates shall have been issued by the national com mittee, to be delivered to those who have contributed to this fund, to see to it. as far as practicable, that the same are turned over to those whose names shall appear thereon. It being the intention of such national commit tee to issue such certificate to each subscriber to such funds, and to make this a peoples own tribute to their late president.
