WELL KNOWN KANsAN
LECTURES IN THE CITY

The congregation of the Swedish
Zion Lutheran church, located at
Forty-fifth street and Seventh ave
nue., last evening had the pleasure Of
listening to Il lecture from Hon.
Frank Nelson. of Topeka. Kans., state
superintendent of public instruction
of the Sunfiower state. Mr.. Nelson's
subject was Factors in Character
Making" and his exposition of the
topic was well worth the hearing.
He divided his subject under two
heads. the relation of reading and
the relation of study of men in char
acter building. Reading he defined
as the absorption of the ideas of the
author whose work is perused, and
he gave valuable advice in regard to
the books to read and the manner in
which to read them. In studying men
he advised his hearers to direct their
attention to live men of the present
day rather than those of past ages.
holding that much is gained by the
cured through the study of a char
acter through another's eyes. The
study of men. he held, was sure to
give origin to Il sympathy with the
race that brings all to a common lev
el. This condition, if it generally pre-
vailed, the speaker held. would settle
many of the serious problems of the
present day. among them the strug-
gle between capital and labor.

FOUND TWOLUNATICS
CHAINED IN SHANTY
Discovery of a Deputy Marshal Who
Was Looking for a
Prisoner.

Bay City. Mich, May 13.-Deputy
Marshal Tobias, while searching for
prisoner for the United States court in
Cheboygan county, discovered two men
chained in shanty two miles from
Patterson's mill on Mullet lake. Both
men are under 80 years of age, and
are believed to be insane. They are
kept shackled by the legs with chains
twelve feet long, fastened to a post in
the shanty, whichis near a farm house.
The chain permits them 10 get near
stove and a trough at one side of the
room. Their food is thrown into this
trough and the prisoners eat in much
the same manner as pigs.
In the summer the men are chained
to tree. Nearby neighbors told the
deputy that the men had been chained
for several years and that they were
generally docile. The deputy reported
the matter to United States Marshal
Bates, who said he would call the at
tention of Governor Bliss to the case.

MONEY PREFERRED TO WIFE
Man Who EIOped with a Girl Fears Dis
inheritance and Let's Her Obtain
Divorce.

Lacrosse. Wis. May ia decree
of divorce has been granted in the cir
cult court to Mrs. Anna Yonkers from
Charles Yonkers on the ground Of de-
sertion. Interest in the case centered
about the plaintiff, a remarkably pref
ty young woman, who eloped with
Yonkers some years ago. Yonkers'
mother Il wealthy widow, determined
to disinherit him unless he secured the
annullment of the marriage.
This he could not do, but Mrs. Nonk-
ers herself undertook the initiative.
Some months ago IN Milwaukee she
received bequest from a wealthy
old gentleman of Chicago whose iden-
tity is concealed. She had given him
a cup of water on Il train in which he
was a fellow passenger i'll with fever.
Left to choose between mother and
fortune, Yonkers chose the former and
did not fight the case.

VILLAGE FEUD CAUSE
OF DASTARDLY CRIME
OF Two Young Men in an Indiana
Town-Circumstan
Similar.

KolLDmo. Ind, May 13.-The murder
of Louis Yeager, who was shot and
killed from ambush Sunday night, is
the third similar crime in the same
community i'll a few weeks; the first
crime, however, did not succeed in
killing. In each case the victim was
young man returning home from an
evening call On his sweetheart. One
theory that many believe will explain
the crimes is that the three youths all
were residents of Oakford or its vi
cinity, and the young wOmen's homes
are in Hemlock. A fued has existed
between the young men of the two vii
lagos, each taking offense if a man
from the other place paid attentions to
the young women of the rival town.
Near the place where it is believed
Yeager was killed the body of Francis
Sutton, a young farmer of the same
neighborhOod, was found just two
weeks ago with a bullet in his brain.
He, too, had spent Sunday evening
with his affianced wife and had left
her near the hour of midnight. a
month before Logan ingalls,, living in
the same neighbOrhood, was attacked
on the highway near where Sutton
and Yeager met their death, and was
so badly beaten that for days his life
hung in the balance. He was re-
turning home from visit to his sweet
heart

Disappointment.

Hamilton, o.. May 13.-Michael
Toohey, of this city, after remaining
forty-fve years in ignorace of the
whereabouts of his brother, J. 7. Too
hey, got news of him through Chi
cago press dispatch. His search of
nearly half century was ended when
he read that John L. Toohey, a million
aire of Australia, had died at the Au-
ditorium hotel in Chicago. Michael
Toohey went to Chicago as soon as he
learned of his brothers death.
When he arrived the widow and
three daughters had started for Aus
tralia with the body. TOohey said that
his brother left their fathers home in
Ireland for Australia nearly fifty years
ago, while he started for America. He
received a letter two years later ask
ing him to come to Australia, but he
lost it and was never able to learn his
brothers address.

hand in favor of what they call mar
riage commission, to be composed of
three men and three women physi-
Clans This commission will have the
power to regulate all marriages in the
state and say who shall and who shall
not be married.
The plan was first advocated by
Judge McVey. of the district court, in
an address delivered before the asso-
citation and. while no formal action
was taken, the plan was warmly COM
mended by the gentlemen of the cloth.
Judge McVey was strongly urged to
draft a bill embodying his ideas and
to have it introduced at the next ses-
sion of the general assembly. The
opinions expressed on the subject by
the ministers were many and diverse

FORTUNE TELLER Is FOUND
Mrs. wiltrax, Wife of the Accused, VoIun-
teers to Find Paul.

IeerS 10 flnd raul
"And," Mrs Paszkowski continued.
che told me that if l could secure the
assistance of some good fortune teller
l would not reed the assistance of the
police. He said that good fortune
teller would be able TO find Paul
easily"
The witness said she last saw her
boy alive at : 80 o'clock on the morn
ing he disappeared. ;Ia left the house
to join some other boys iD.Miay Mrs
PasZkOwski said she knew nothing of
his movements until she saw his dead
body on the afternoon of May >. She
said she heard a shot ten minutes aft
er her boy left the house, but up to the
time of the inquest the significance of
the incident in connection with the
murder of her boy had not dawned
upon her.
Then she caused a sensation among
her hearers by testifying to an oc-
currence that she had not even told
the police. She said that after Paul
disappeared she went to visit Mrs. Will
traX and asked for her cooperation in
searching for the missing child. Mrs.
WiltraX, she said, told her that she
(Mrs. WiltraX) was a fortune teller,
and that she would endeavOr to learn
where the boy was. Mrs. WiltraX then
took out a package of playing cards
and laid them in piles of four cards
each upon the table.
Mrs. WiltraX fastened her eyes up
on the cards. 1t so happened that the
spots uppermOst on the cards were
principally red. She passed her hand
back and forth over the cards several
times. The she spoke in low tone,
so that Mrs. Paszkowski could not un-
derstand her. Finally these maneuvers
ended. and Mrs. Wiltrax leaned close
ly over the cards. She said these
words. according to Mrs. Paszkowski's
testimony:
"These cards tell me little Paul was
killed by some children. Search in the
woods for him. He is there. He is
buried there
Later Mrs. Paszkowski went again
to Mrs. Wiltrax and wanted to look
into he.basement of the Wiltrax home.
but Mrs. Wiltrax insisted that the child
wasn't there and that the cards said
it was no use to look there.
