TRAGEDY AT GOTEBO.
Woman Found Dead and Her Husband
Nearly IifeIess.

Hobart, Ok, Dec. 28-A mysterious
tragedy occurred last evening at Gotebo,
sixteen miles east of here. A fusillade of
shots was, heard at the home of A. N.
Mrs. Byers was dead with a bullet hole
from a revolver in her breast. Byers was
found lying unconscious on the floor with
a bullet hole in his head. When discov-
cred Mrs. Byers held in her lifeless hand
a revolver with all chambers discharged.
Byers is the owner of the townsite of
Gotebo and is worth much money The
wife few months ago sued for divorce.
Later reconciliation was effected, but
not until after Byers had shot Mrs By
er's former husband The case has caused
much excitement here on account of the
prominence of Byers and his ownership of
the townsite of Gotebo. Byers was ar
rested and brought here. Gotebo people
are of the opinion that Byers killed his
wife, shot himsel fand then placed the re
volver in his wife's hand. Others think
the former husband shot both Mr.. and
Mrs ByerS.

FIRE DRIVES THEM OUT
Sixty-five Guests Escape I'm Night
Clothes From Old st. James.

Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-For the
eighth time in twenty-three years the
old st. James hotel has been damaged
by fire. Sixty-five guests were sleeping
in the hotel at $3.50 in the morning
when the fire was discovered and the
fremen and police saved many who
would otherwise have been cremated.
Among the guests that had narrow
escapes were ]. A. Odel1 of philadelphia.
He is a cousin of Governor Odell of
New York. There were two theatrical
companies in the house, THE Sign of
the Cross" and THE Curse of Drink"
The theatrical people made merry over
their miSfortuneS as soon as they re-
allied they were safe and scorned the
loss of clothing and other articles OF
value.
Every one of the guests got out on
the fire escapes with the aid of the DO
lice and fremen, but none of them had
time to dress. Some of the female
members of the theatrical companies
threw their clothing out on the street
and then donned it afterward with
plate glass store window for a mirror.
The hremen were shocked at the levity
of the theatrical people under the cir
cumstances. One of them reproached
an actress and she laughed and said
he was a good fireman, but had no
sense of humor. Others of the theatri-
cal women sang, Fireman, Save NV
Child" while dressing on the street
The weather was not cold for the
season or there would have been much
suffering. One man jumped from a
second-story window and escaped unin-
jured. An investigation is being made
as to the origin of the fire. 1t IS be-
lieved to have been incendiary.
The loss was about $25,000 on build
ing and furniture, and stores under it
We're also damaged. The ST. James
has long been regarded as dangerous
in case of fire and it is considered re-
markable that everybody got out alive
this morning.

FLOWERS COST MUCH MONEY.
Chicago MaryeIs at the Present High
Prices.

Chicago, Dec 2S-"Worth their
weight in gold" according to a local
florist concern, were the blossoms that
decorated many a home on Christmas
day.
The statement is literally true. An
unprecedented demand for flowers on
the part of the people of the city has
sent the prices of choice blossoms up
until the bouquets carried by Chicago
society bellies could not be had for
less than $25.
Prices of flowers are now higher
than they ever were before at this
time of the year. They are 25 per cent
above those of last year. and the pros
poets are that they may go even high
er when the orders for New Years
floral decorations begin to pour in.
Two kinds of flowers, red roses and
carnations, are particularly in de-
mand. They are becoming nearly as
scarce as diamonds and almost as val
liable. For a dozen ordinary carna-
tionS ChicagoanS are compelled to
pay $3.50 to the retailers. The price
of red roses is even higher. There are
several grades of roses, but the
cheapest of them cost $3.50 a dozen
and the best of the smaller ones Sc a
dozen.
Fairly good American Beauty roses
can be obtained for SIS a dozen, but
the kind a young man wants to pro-
cure for his best girl cost $25 a dozen,
while the still choicer blossoms sell
for twice as much.

FATHER OF GOLD BRICK DEAD.
Tom O'Brien of Chicago Dies in
French Penal Colony.

Chicago, Dec 2S.-Tom O'Brien. one of
the most notorious bank sneak thieves
known to the police of this or any other
country. died SNSlday in prison at New
Caledonia, the French penal colony in the
South Sea islands, where he was serving
a life sentence for murder committed in
Paris several years ago, according to dis
patches received here last night OBrien
for many years carried on his criminal
operations here. The announcement of
his death caused comment among old-time
detectives who on different occasions had
arrested him.
The crime for which O'Brien was ban
ished to the French penal colony was the
murder of Kid Wadden in a railway
station in Paris. Waddell and o. OBrien
left America together and the murder was
the result of quarrel
O'Brien was born at Sangamon and
Madison streets in Chicago nearly so years
ago, and for a period covering 25 years
operated as bank sneak and confidence
man in and around this city. Old time
detectives recall the time he was shot
through the lungs in a fight in gamb-
ling house at Madison and Halsted
streets.
He is said to be the originator of the
gold brick sw1ndle. He was arrested
many times anad served time in peniten-
tiaries all over the United States. Shortly
before he sailed to France O'Brien while
under arrest at Utica, n. Y, escaped from
a deputy marshal by jumping from a
third story window of a hotel.

girls of today will share their manage
ment with fathers and mothers born in
Kansas and when they come to the
heritage of their magnificent state they
will be indeed kanSanS among KAN
sans, the fruftage of the best years in
Ike Suuhower states existence
Kansas overfiows with its lessons, it
greets with joy the heart that will give
heed, Ii thrills the soul that will re-
ceive. YOU shall find if you will seek.
What is the message that comes to
you from the plains? / would rather
know what a man or woman sees in
looking upon the face of nature than
to know how many pages of Latin can
be memorized. 1 would rather take a
young person out on the open prairie
and ask, What does it say to you?"
than to hear the severest problem Of
algebra demonstrated The message
you receive, that you shall impart.
Kansas has given much attention to
wheat and corn, to f1ockS and herds;
it has boasted of bank deposits and of
Cancelled mortgages. All these are good,
but they are not the things that you
should glorify before your pupils. The
young minds of Kansas deserve better
than that; they deserve the joys of the
soul as we'll as the comforts of the
flesh. The Kansan who comes from
your schools should possess appreci-
alton of the worlds artistic and literary
graces; there should be a love of ed
ucation for its own sake and not only
yields. Bad years may wipe out the
bank deposits; corn and wheat may
fail; focks and herds may dwindle in
value-but the delights of the mind
remain. Make the Kansan of the fu-
ture rich in memories, rich in individu-
ality. and he will be rich in all things
that count in human history.
Whether or not this viewpoint be
attained will depend greatly on the
teacher. This cannot be done unless
the teacher feels these things himself,
for it is one of the immutable laws of
our nature that we cannot impart that
which we do not ourselves possess.
You must learn to see the beauty in a
Kansas landscape before you can
awaken in your pupils a joy in wide
spread reaches of pasture and fields,
of overbending skies and fragrant
orchards.
1t is easy to give advice on broad
lines-and difficult to carry the pre-
cept into practice. 1t is easy to say,
Lead the Simple Life"-but hard to
know where in this complex age the
simplicity can be acquired. But it is
not difficult to form an ideal of the
kind of men and women we wish to
preside over Kansas destinies nor to
lead the boys and girls of today in that
direction. If you believe that the best
things of this world are outside of
books, that the soul of knowledge is
beyond and above the text, and you
ought to believe these things, you will
build for the future Kansas a genera
ton worthy of the states magnificent
opportunities.

WANTS THE TRUTH.
Adams Says It Is More Important
Than Anything Else.

Denver, Col, Dea. 28.-Attorneys
Charles S. Thomas and Samuel w.
Belford filed a petition in the supreme
court today on behalf of Alva Adams,
governor-elect. asking that either the
court or a commission to be appointed
by the court shall open all of the 204
ballot boxes used in Denver at the late
election and make a thorough exami-
nation of their contents. The court
decided to hear arguments on the
petition this afternoon.
Il have no question about my cleo
ton by substantially the majority re-
ported on the face of the returns, -
said Governor Adams. "'I believe if
the frauds in outside counties could be
unearthed my honest majority would
amount to 10000. But 1 wanted no
tainted seat. 1t is of far greater i'm
portance that extensive election frauds
should be unearthed and punished
than that 1 or any other particular in
dividual should be sworn in as gov
ernOr. 1 do not know who committed
the alleged frauds. 1 know nearly
thirty men are in Jail ostensibly for
contempt of court, but really charged
with election crimes. If they are of
the character reported I feel assured
that there are men at liberty far more
deserving of Jail than those who are
incarcerated. I feel that some of those
in Jail have been unjustly dealt by.
But be that as it may, I want this in
vestigation made; want it to extend
from the head to the foot and 1 want
the truth known
