SHE TRIED TO DIE.
Mrs. Smith of Topeka Takes
ChIOrOfOrm at Manhattan.

At the request of the city marshal of
tigating the history of a Mrs. Smith, who
formerly lived at 316 Monroe street, but
who was separated from her husband sew
eral months ago. The Smith woman came
to Manhattan February II to see a young
man named VIII Hamilton, also of To-
pe,a.
They registered as man and wife at the
Cedar Park hotel and were given a room.
About IL o'clock Hamilton rushed down
stairs and said the woman had taken poi
son and needed the services of a doctor
a physician arrived and gave her Stimu-
lantS and discovered that she had inhaled
treatment of the physician she chung to
Hamilton and sobbed: You are trying TO
get away from me and ] can't live with
out YOU. She then told the physician
that she was divorced from Smith and
that Hamilton had married her last sum-
mer. Hamilton denies that he was mar
ried to her or had any notion of doing So
1t seems that Hamilton had gone to Man
haitian to get away from the woman and
she had followed him. She had been to
him about three weeks before this,
and her husband followed her and created
a scene by drawing Il revolver and threat
ening to shoot her. This time she came
prepared with two-ounce bottle of chlor
oform which bore the label of a Topeka
drug store. She was also armed with q
bottle of Topeka whisky, which would an
swer the same purpose. PaVey'S examina-
ton of the case revealed little except that
the woman was not divorced, as she had
claimed. and had worked as domestic
of the family of Hamilton.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

funny thing happened in the United
states senate few days ago, before
Tillman had his tilt with MeLaurin-
Tillman was attacking the governments
Philippine policy and stated that sold
Ter who had served under Funston had
said 100 Filipinos had been punished
with the water cure" and many of
them had died. Senator Burton consid-
cred this an attack on General Funston
and he demanded to know Tillman's
authority, adding that THE world knows
the history of General Funston. He
fought early in Cuba to try to free Cuba
from Spanish rule. He has fought in
the Philippines"
Il have no objection to the senator
eulogizing General Funston" broke in
Tillman, but 1 think we are all very
well acquainted with his record. We
have promoted him from a captaincy
here, and I know as much about Gen.
Funston as the senator from Kansas
does and every senator here knows
about him, but if the senator from Kan
sas wants to put a tribute in the Record
he is perfectly welcome to do So.
But you are making a misstatement
just now, Internationally" said Mr.
Burton. General Funston was major
of the famous Twentieth Kansas regi-
ment, and he was afterward made brig
adler general for his gallantry on the
recommendation of his superior off
GERS
Funston was advanced from being
major came one degree nearer the truth
than Tillman's statement that he was
advanced from a captaincy.
A Washington dispatch announces
that Congressman Curtis presided in
the lower house of congress yesterday
during the visit of Prince Henry to that

The Belleville Telescope is putting up
one of the hottest fights for Bailey in
the state. 1t will probably go a long
ways towards lining up the Fifth dis
trict for the Nemaha county man.
The friends of Senator w. A. Harris
deny that he was turned down by the
First district caucus for member of the
resolutions committee during the recent
Populist conference. They say his name
was presented to the caucus, but one of
his Leavenwofth county friends called
attention to the fact that he did not
want to be on the committee and was
not a delegate to the conference any
way, and his name was withdrawn. AL
though the members of the conference,
a majority of them, were opposed to
Senator Harris on the fusion PROPOSE
ton, he was the strongest individual
factor In attendance at the. conference
and if he had not been present it is
quite likely that the vote would have
been overwhelming against fusion.
