III SHE HADN'T BROUGHT SUIT.
But She Did and the Result is That
the Dead" Man Walks.
(By the Associated Press

Plattsburg, N. Y, Dec. 9.-Three
representatives of the Woodmen of the
World, a fraternal society of Omaha,
Neb, and two detectives, left here to-
night for Cleburne, Texas, with a
former private soldier who enlisted
under the name of Henry Lennox,
and who was honorably discharged
here November II last.
r. Wood Jewell, Of Omaha, chair
man OF the Finance Committee, of the
Woodmen, who was one of the pa .ty
admitted that Lennox is not the SOL
dier's real name.
This man disappeared from his
home in Cleburne, Texas in 1901,
under circumstances that led his
friends to believe he had been killed"
said Mr.. Jewell. within the last
year a suit was brought by his wife
against the Woodmen of the World
for his certificate of membership in
the sum of $4,000. They employed
detectives and located the man.
He consented TO return and demon
strate that he is not dead"
Lennox, as he was known here, had
a good army record. He was born at
New Liberty, KY, in 1872, and is said
to be of an influential family.
According to the authorities. Lennox
is believed to be O. G. Hitler, whose
home is said to be in Clebucue. Tex

alleged, disappeared over :, steep river
bank in Texas and he was supposed
to have been drowned. Lennon to-
night admitted that he had lived in

which has been thoroughly renovated
and repaired, will be in readiness in
few days for the reception of the
members. A new noiseieSs cork
carket, of an unabtension shade of
green, was being put down yesterday.
1t only remains now to replace the
desks which have been removed be-
fore the chamber will again be ready
for occupancy.
"A State Senator who is visiting in
the city said yesterday that he had
been Informed that the CARPET in the
Senate Chamber had been In use for
eighteen years ana that the question
of renovating the Chamber should be
looked after at once.
This statesman expressed his Will
lingness 10 serve his State at 4 Sacft-
flee of time and money, but con-
fessed to hesitancy in laying him
selfo pen to the chance of swallowing
a flock of saw-toothed microbes. Any
body who was willing to put up with
a carpet old enough to go to college,
said he, had only to look at a rlicrobe
through a magnifying glass to be
converted. Beside an up-tO-date
microbe the Jabberwock is of MILD
and benignant countenance.
IT Si;l be remembered thot az the
last session OF the legislature the
House made provisions for the repairs
which have cen made in its hall. but
the Senate failed TO take similar ac-
ton. The Senator above referred To
does not think. however. that there
should be any hesitancy IN renovat-
ing the Senate Chamber on that ac-
count. There Is no reason why the
matter should not be taken up and
attended to by, the Council OF State.
